Bragg Live Food Products Introduces New Line of Organic Apple Cider Vinegar Drinks

New Beverages May Offer Help for Weight Control and Diabetes

Santa Barbara, California, February 26, 2010

Bragg Live Food Products, Inc., a leading manufacturer and distributor of Organic Apple Cider Vinegar has announced a new line of Organic Apple Cider Vinegar All Natural Drinks according to Bragg President and CEO Dr. Patricia Bragg. The ready-to-drink organic beverage line is the latest addition to the Bragg Live Food Product line of natural and organic food products. The new product line builds on nearly a century of the company’s heritage as a producer of Organic Apple Cider Vinegar and publisher of a national bestselling book on the health benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar (Apple Cider Vinegar - Miracle Health System, Heath Science 2009) written by the company’s founder, Dr. Paul C. Bragg.

Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar has received much media attention over the past several years. It was recently featured (February 4, 2010) on an special edition of The Oprah Winfrey Show discussing Diabetes - America’s Silent Killer. The television show featured a discussion with Oprah, fitness guru Bob Greene, and popular television physician Mehmet Oz, M.D. about the health benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar in lowering the Glycemic Index of a meal when added to foods, a scientific measure of how fast carbohydrate containing foods raise blood sugar levels. Low Glycemic Index foods and meals are associated with better blood sugar and insulin level control for diabetics and weight control. Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar was the brand of Apple Cider Vinegar shown and discussed on the show that would be effective for lowering the Glycemic Index of foods.

For centuries, the virtues of Apple Cider Vinegar have been proclaimed for its legendary culinary and healing properties. In 400 B.C., Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, used Apple Cider Vinegar as a cleansing and healing agent. While the traditional use of Apple Cider Vinegar as a natural remedy has been legendary for centuries, modern medical research has just begun to confirm some of its traditional medicinal uses.

Recent studies have shown that when Apple Cider Vinegar is taken with a meal, it is effective in helping control blood sugar and insulin levels by reducing the Glycemic Index of foods. Studies conducted by at Arizona State University and published in the American Diabetes Association’s journal Diabetes Care suggest that Apple Cider Vinegar used as a natural remedy may possess physiological effects similar to commonly prescribed diabetes medications. “The results of this research illustrates the health benefits that Apple Cider Vinegar can have for diabetics and for weight loss,” according to John Westerdahl, PhD, RD, Director of Health Science for Bragg Live Food Products. “We are excited to develop a line of great-tasting, healthy and convenient ready-to-drink beverages that are formulated to provide just the right amount of Apple Cider Vinegar in each bottle that is based on the scientific research,” stated Dr. Westerdahl.

The new line of Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar Drinks is currently available in four flavors, Original Organic Apple Cider Vinegar & Honey, Apple-Cinnamon, Concord Grape-Acai, and Ginger Spice. Two of the new drinks are categorized as Low Calorie and one as Calorie-Free, and are sweetened with a new FDA approved natural, non-caloric sweetener derived from the leaf of the stevia herb which grows in South America. Bragg is one of the first companies to utilize this new natural sweetener in a national line of health beverages.

The new beverages are currently being introduced in natural food and grocery stores nationwide and will be formally introduced to the natural food industry at the Natural Products Expo West in Anaheim, California in March.

Free Help for Tampa Homeowners in Danger of Foreclosure

Friday, February 26th, 2010

Free Help for Tampa Homeowners in Danger of Foreclosure

TAMPA, FL - February 26, 2010 — A local Homeowner Advocacy Company, the Home Loan Crisis Center, LLC, has been working diligently to help Tampa Bay Area homeowners protect and preserve the American Dream…their home ownership.

One out of every 3 homeowners is having trouble making payments. Falling Real Estate prices have made the prospect of Refinancing almost impossible. According to RealtyTrac, one in 45 homes was hit with a foreclosure filing in 2009.

A local Expert can show you how to qualify for the lowest possible monthly payment and get back on track with your lender, even if you are in active foreclosure.
Learn the common pitfalls to expect and to avoid when you’re attempting to work out an agreement with your lender.

Frustrated homeowners who would like to learn about Loan Modifications, can attend the Free Workshop “Ask an Expert about Loan Modification” held every Tuesday.
To celebrate their first anniversary, and their commitment to the Community, the Home Loan Crisis Center is providing FREE expert guidance to 100 local homeowners who need a Loan Modification to save their homes.

The Federal Government has committed millions of dollars to fund the bail-out of banks and lending institutions. The Treasury Department is investing millions to sponsor the “Making Home Affordable Modification Program”. Unfortunately very little of that money is committed to educate homeowners on what to expect when attempting to modify their loan(s) or how to get back on track once they have fallen behind.

Attempting to negotiate a Loan Modification Agreement is a time consuming, labor intensive process, especially if you have a full-time job. The Experts at HLCC have successfully negotiated workout agreements with every major lender in the United States.

Be aware of unscrupulous nationwide companies claiming to have the ability to magically save people’s homes. Any company requesting an upfront fee should immediately be reported to the Florida Office of Financial Regulations at 800-258-8403.

Workshop Benefits:

Learn the pitfalls to expect and to avoid when you’re attempting to work out an agreement with your lender or attempting to lower your mortgage payments.

Learn what to say if you’re told “You don’t qualify for a Modification” or “Your expenses are too high”.

Learn how to qualify for the lowest possible monthly payment and get your loan back on track, even if you are in foreclosure.

Homeowners can bring their current Mortgage Statement so that after the Presentation and Q & A an Expert can sit with them, evaluate their situation and suggest the best possible course of action.

The Free “Ask the Expert about Loan Modification” Workshop is held every Tuesday at 7:00pm at Hampton Inn & Suites, Fletcher Avenue at I-75.

All are invited but reservations are required as seating is limited.

NBC interviews Raleigh divorce attorney Cathy Hunt about social media-driven divorces

NBC interviews Raleigh divorce attorney Cathy Hunt about social media-driven divorces

Raleigh, North Carolina - As social networking websites such as Facebook and MySpace continue to rise in popularity, connecting or reconnecting former classmates, past relationships, family members and friends, some are finding that these unique tools are harming their current relationships more than they realized.

Divorce attorneys and family law specialists are seeing this disturbing trend on the rise as separated husbands and wives are now claiming that a social networking website is the reason for the demise of his or her marriage. This trend is being called cyber cheating.

Recently interviewed on NBC, Raleigh divorce attorney Cathy Hunt (http://gailorwallis.com/chunt.html), of the divorce and family law firm of Gailor, Wallis & Hunt, PLLC in North Carolina, says she has seen more cases involving cyber cheating than ever before, citing social media as the catalyst for divorce.

Watch NBC Video Raleigh divorce attorney Cathy Hunt on NBC (http://digg.com/d31JinM)

“People are going onto social networking sites, like Facebook and Classmates.com, and are reconnecting with someone they used to know or date,” Hunt told NBC. She added that the communication typically begins as innocent chat and escalates to something more serious including emails, phone calls, online flirting and eventually meetings. Hunt said that, in some cases, this social media communication has led to one spouse leaving the other to be with someone from his or her past.

“A lot of people are really in what seems like happy marriages,” Hunt said. “They’re not bad marriages; they have families and children, and they have family life and family life doesn’t involve flirtation and that sort of thing.”

Tips to Avoid Social Media Relationship Pitfalls

• A husband or wife should evaluate his or her motivations before reconnecting with an old flame.
• When opening social media accounts, have open communication with your spouse about how certain situations will be handled, such as contact with or by an ex.
• Create a joint account, or give each partner access to each other’s accounts.
• Do not write anything that is suggestive or questionable on a social media site.

About The Law Firm

The Raleigh, North Carolina family lawyers of Gailor, Wallis & Hunt help men and women work through the emotional and financial entanglements that occur when a marriage or committed relationship dissolves. With over 80 years of combined experience, the firm offers highly competent and dedicated representation in the following matters; mediation, arbitration, separation and property settlement agreements, divorce, alimony and child support and equitable distribution of property with an emphasis on representing business owners.

All Statewide Property Corporation Reduces Mortgages For Homeowners

All Statewide Property Corporation Reduces Mortgages For Homeowners

Investors Earn High Returns Helping People Save Their Homes

Land O’ Lakes, FL - February 26, 2010 — It is common knowledge that home values have lost as much as 50 percent or more in some areas and many homeowners owe more than their home is worth. Banks have done little or nothing to help these folks. In attempting to lower their principal balance, lenders advised the homeowner to miss some payments, only to be told that they can do nothing to help!

Nationally, more than 20 percent of home buyers — nearly 11 million families — are underwater on their loans. Moody’s Investors Service projects the national rate of homeowners with negative equity to near 50 percent by early 2011.

Enter the picture - All Statewide Property Corporation (http://statewidepropertycorp.com/). The Officers and Directors of All Statewide have a combined professional real estate career spanning eight decades. Stuart Vener, President says “Something has to be done to help these people. The Government is doing nothing and the problem is worsening.”

This company has found a solution to the dilemma. By forming satellite limited partnerships, they are raising sufficient amounts of money to by bulk mortgages from lenders. They then offer the homeowner a chance to reduce the mortgage to the current market value.

The residual effect to this is that the person investing in these partnerships can earn a net rate of between 17% and 24% on his investment, while helping good Americans retain their homes. According to Vener, he feels that in trying to just help homeowners, he has accidently created probably the most secure high yielding interest rate investment available today.

He feels so strong about this investment that his company is investing cash money in every partnership and retaining a capital interest. He says, “Where can I place my money in such an altruistic cause, and still be handsomely rewarded.”

Homeowners desirous in saving their homes and Investors wanting to help these families are urged to contact All Statewide Property Corporation (http://statewidepropertycorp.com) or call Mr. Robert Paterson at (877) 718-6289.

Virus Drops Global Salmon Supply to 20-Year Low

February 25, 2010 /EIN PRESSWIRE/ A virus has greatly harmed the Chilean salmon population, which has lead to the lowest worldwide salmon output since 1990.

The decline in Chile’s Atlantic salmon, which will decline 38% in total, has boosted the price of salmon, giving a lift to suppliers from British Columbia and Norway. Chilean salmon output plunged 65% in the fourth quarter of 2009 as its fish farms were hard-hit by salmon anemia.

Hummer Drives Off into the Sunset

Hummer Drives Off into the Sunset

February 25, 2010 /EIN PRESSWIRE/ Hummers may thrive in the dirt and mud, but the time has come to throw dirt on Hummer as GM’s deal to sell the oversized SUV to a Chinese manufacturer has collapsed.

Chinese regulators failed to give approval to Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machines Co. to buy the hulking automotive unit. GM said that it will still honor existing Hummer warranties, but the demise of the deal will most certainly lead to the death of Hummer.

Although GM will still listen to last-minute bids, the company will begin winding down its Hummer business. Most likely, Hummer will join Pontiac and Saturn as casualties of GM’s collapse.

New Chicago Entertainment Magazine Vows To Thrust Unknown Talent Into The Limelight

New Chicago Entertainment Magazine Vows To Thrust Unknown Talent Into The Limelight

Chicago, IL - February 25, 2010 — The buzz is growing over the February 2010 release of Undiscovered Magazine- a DARING new magazine that promises to shine some of the illusive limelight on up and coming talent.

Three months ago actress and model Robyn Daniels founded Undiscovered Magazine, a brand new bimonthly online magazine determined to SHATTER the glass ceiling that seems to be hovering over the Black Chicago entertainment scene. The publication is dedicated to bringing the spotlight to Chicago and the mass of talent within its midst.

Founder Robyn Daniels says, “The media as a whole decides who and what to make the American public pay attention to. That’s why it’s next to impossible for new talent to break onto any scene, whether it’s social, artistic, theatrical, cinematic, musical etc. My thinking is this: What if a magazine broke that cycle in an effort to MAKE the public pay attention to unknown talent? That is the point of this magazine.”

Showcasing Chicago talent in the areas of: Art, Fashion, Writers, Music, Actors and Directors, Undiscovered Magazine will be released to the public February 25, 2010. In honor of their inaugural issue, they will be offering FREE downloadable copies of the magazine exclusively at: www.undiscoveredmagazine.com.

The forum is gaining traction among members belonging to different cadres of the software development community with about 280+ members so far, from around the globe (including CEOs, CIOs, CTOs, VPs of Engineering/Product development, Product managers and Product engineers).

Some of the regular features of the Producteering forum include interviews with various experts from the software industry, product development tips from actual practitioners, real-life examples of product engineering innovation and opinions on various technical and software business topics.

Regular teleconferences and breakfast sessions in different US cities are among a few of the other activities planned in the future, to enable better networking and knowledge sharing among members.
