Buying an Exclusive Watch Brand – MC Marc Watches

Marc Watches Ltd purveys expertly crafted yet truly affordable men’s and ladies watches.

Birmingham, UK, February 25, 2011 — When it comes to buying a watch, particularly as a gift, it’s always nice to be able to get something that not everyone else can get hold of. Mark Luton the owner of Marc watches Ltd says “Our Marc Watches website for example is a perfect model of an exclusive online watch store that only stocks our own exclusive MC Marc brand of watches, you can only buy them online you cannot purchase MC Marc watches in stores.”

Mark goes on to say “Pretty much all of the other popular watch brands on the market today can be bought in any jewellery store, and even in large retail High Street stores. This doesn’t mean that these watches are poor in quality, on the contrary, you can get some very nice watches in all jewellers and watch stores on the high street and on the internet; however you will have to search very hard for a truly exclusive brand.

If you have a partner or friend that likes to have things that other people don’t (and let’s face it, we all like a bit of this don’t we?) then buying them an exclusive brand is certainly the way forward. Brands like ours are designed by our elves, quality controlled by ourselves and sold by ourselves, thus ensuring the quality and originality of each and every watch that we sell, minimising the risk of any faults in the watches or mistakes in the ordering process.

When you present your partner or friend (or whoever) with an exclusively made watch they will no doubt be very impressed, and not least because of its exclusive origin, they will more than likely be impressed by the clearly expert manufacture of it too. An exclusive watch is a conversation piece as well as a beautiful piece of jewellery so if you’re considering buying a watch for a loved one then you should really consider approaching an exclusive designer and manufacturer of watches to get that little bit more of a personal touch and a mark of quality rarely seen in mass produced jewellery.”

Pure One Next Gen Omega-3 Announces Optimized DHA3™ ForeBRAIN

Source-Omega, LLC announces Optimized DHA3™ ForeBRAIN(SM) as the second product in their line of Next Gen Plant Based Omega-3™ for premium optimized vegetarian lipids.

Chapel Hill, NC, February 25, 2011 — Source-Omega, LLC announces Optimized DHA3™ ForeBRAIN(SM) as the second product in their line of Next Gen Plant Based Omega-3™ for premium optimized vegetarian lipids. The product is planned for launch on Earth Day 2011.

Optimized DHA3™ ForeBRAIN(SM) contains select algae oil that is rich in DHA n-3 (300 mg) and DPA n-6 (100 mg) plus EPA n-3 (10 mg). Pure One™ DHA plus DPA n-6 and EPA furthers the company’s proprietary 300 mg DHA + 10 mg EPA formulation using algae oil.

The product will be 30 capsules for a one month supply. One capsule per day of the Pure One product is suggested to support brain structure and function in children 4 and over and in adults. Greater levels of DHA plus EPA are required to lower triglycerides for heart health in adults.

“We seek to most completely educate the consumer about how the new Pure One™ omega-3 product supports brain structure and function. The ForeBRAIN product is consistent with our prior observation that Pure One™ algae oil fatty acids are balanced to match the body’s needs. This means that the human brain make-up of omegas is more closely matched by the Pure One™ ForeBRAIN product ratios” said Scott Doughman, PhD, President and Chief Scientist at Source-Omega.

Since before the company was formed, Doughman started looking at how the human brain and organs are made up in terms of omega fatty acids. He said he observed parallels between ratios and levels of omega fats in eggs, breast milk and one algae oil strain in terms of the oil fat balance and the human brain fat composition.

The DPA n-6 lipid in ForeBRAIN comes from the same Non-GMO algae strain as the first Pure One product and is safe for pregnant and nursing mothers. The company stated that it has always known the DPA n-6 potential. Source-Omega is the first to distinguish their new 35 percent DHA plus about 15 percent DPA n-6 through the Pure One™ brand.

DHA AND DPA n-6
The human forebrain contains some of the highest levels of DHA in the brain. More is being discovered about the levels of DPA n-6 in the brain, yet no dietary recommendations are currently available. Many experts recommend DHA intake of at least 300 mg per day, but with little discussion of DPA n-6, a non-inflammatory structural lipid normally found in the brain, in human breast milk and in eggs.

The Pure One™ vegetarian form of the “egg lipids” DHA, DPA and EPA together may provide greater brain support than DHA alone, although literature research on the topic is very early. 100 mg DPA n-6 per serving is considered safe and beneficial as a fatty acid that is also present in the general food supply and is safe at higher dosages. The oil is GRAS and infant formula grade, kosher and pure.

“Optimized DHA3™ ForeBRAIN(SM) has emerged out of years of research. Our published review from 2007 discusses the range and ratio of DHA n-3 to DPA n-6 in human breast milk. Optimized DHA3™ ForeBRAIN features the median ratio of 3:1 DHA/DPA found in human breast milk [REF1],” said Doughman.

About Source-Omega:
Source-Omega, LLC is headquartered in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, near the Research Triangle Park. It was founded in 2007 and specializes in the international marketplace for manufacturing, branding, private labeling and globalization of algae oil nutritional products under the name and formula Pure One™, the Next Generation Plant Based Omega-3™ for their Omega-3 DHA Therapy™, for clinics offering triglyceride lowering plasma lipids management programs, brain health, and for pregnancy, nursing and family care.

Source-Omega Joins GOED Committee and Features Pure One DHA + EPA Algae Oil

Source-Omega and its Pure One™ branded products are featured on the website of the Global Organization for EPA and DHA Omega-3s (GOED).

Chapel Hill, NC, February 24, 2011 — Source-Omega and its Pure One™ branded products are featured on the website of the Global Organization for EPA and DHA Omega-3s (GOED).

The company manufactures and markets Pure One™, the first and only US made Optimized Omega-3 DHA + EPA algae oil supplement formulation sold as a finished product. The Pure One™ omega-3 ratio is based on the science of human omega-3 metabolism.

The product range is kosher, vegan, infant formula grade and safe in all people, appropriate for those with type-2 diabetes, fish allergies, dietary restrictions and food sensitivities. Source-Omega uses only gluten-free, soy-free plant-based ingredients, all GMP processed in the USA.

The GOED Newsletter announced Source-Omega as the 108th member, with 5 new members listed after the First GOED Exchange in Salt Lake City, January 2011, attended by Source-Omega’s President and Chief Scientist, Dr Scott Doughman, PhD.

“Our product offerings are rapidly expanding the branded value of DHA+EPA from algae oil for international products,” said Doughman.

The importance of DHA and EPA are well established and partly informed by the new Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA), which suggests “fortified foods and dietary supplements may be useful in providing one or more nutrients that otherwise may be consumed in less than recommend amounts.”

Government bodies like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the American Heart Association (AHA) recognize the qualified use of DHA and EPA recommendations.

Source-Omega’s qualified products meet GOED’s Monogram and strict ethics, which lend industry recognized credentials to the Pure One product.

“The Source-Omega company has made substantial contributions to the industry in only 3 years, plus our beautiful golden omega-3 oil is a leading international brand that drives awareness of pure algae oil for both DHA and EPA from one strain, Pure One, made without any chemical modifications for our differentiated, premium diabetic-friendly, nutraceutical supplement,” said Dr Doughman, who brought the Pure One™ branded innovations to the public in early 2008.

Source-Omega offers private labeling internationally in liquid oil, dietary supplements and medical food. Source-Omega’s plant-based algae omega-3 DHA + EPA products were first formulated by Dr. Scott Doughman in early 2007 while engaged in Omega-3 research at the University of North Carolina’s School of Public Health, funded by the National Institutes of Health.

Source-Omega is located in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, in historic Chatham County, and offers its patent pending omega-3 products made using an advanced vegetarian softgel technology combined with select algae oil grown in the USA.

According to a June, 2010, report, The AML Global Insight Series, jointly published by the Association of Certified Anti Money Laundering Specialists and Ernst and Young, the majority of all banks report less than a 10% success rate at detecting fraud or money laundering, precipitating the need by 46% of all institutions surveyed to upgrade their systems to new solutions and technologiesin the next two years.

Story of Mother’s Struggle Reminds Other Parents They Are Not Alone

Life’s journey is all about climbing hills and navigating valleys and most people struggle, according to author Shirley Rappach.

Valley View, OH, February 23, 2011 — Life’s journey is all about climbing hills and navigating valleys and most people struggle, according to author Shirley Rappach.

“But, everyone thinks they are alone,” she said. “My book lets them know they are not.” Single Parents – You are Not Alone is a book Rappach created from her personal journals, but her “voice” speaks to other parents who have had similar experiences.

“The journey of a single parent is hard, and sometimes almost impossible to endure. I wanted to share some of my experiences as an example for people everywhere, whether a single parent or not, to know that no one is alone. I hope that my voice in unity with others will awaken the world to the plight of single parents.”

The only daughter in a family of four children, Rappach grew up in Vienna, Ohio, located in Trumbull County near the Pennsylvania border, and graduated from Mathews High School in 1977. By 1985, she had two daughters with her first husband and had lived in several different states including Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Florida where he found work as a tradesman painter. That year, the couple split up and the girls spent every other weekend with their father, she said.

After the divorce, Rappach became involved with another man who she moved to Arizona with after her mother died. She had a daughter with him, but that relationship also ended. When her baby was only seven months old, the dad exited their lives and the mother of three returned home after living in Arizona for six years, to be close to her family who, gratefully, provided a lot of help to the single parent. Rappach was journaling her experiences and struggles, which she admits included a lot of “unhealthy choices” and some alcohol and drug use. Eventually, she started seeking another way of living.

“I started going to church, because my way wasn’t working,” Rappach said. “I just started praying because I didn’t know what to do.”

While living in Arizona, she had a leadership role in a singles ministry, “Thirty Something,” where she saw a broad spectrum of issues facing the life of a singles. She also served in a leadership capacity with “Complete in Him Ministries”, a Cleveland group that reaches out to single parents and the divorced. In the summer of 2009, when she attended “The Fest,” an annual Northern Ohio Christian festival, Rappach learned about self-publishing and found a way to share her “voice” with others.

A proud grandmother of three, the author and her husband of about one year live in Wickliffe, with her youngest daughter, now 17. The family worships at the Community of the Holy Spirit church in Willoughby. Rappach is a legal assistant for a Beachwood law firm and an Avon products representative. She prays that Single Parents – You are Not Alone will offer hope to other parents who feel lost and alone.

PB Reality Show Postpones Series Debut, Taking On New Direction To Satisfy Fans

Executive Producer and star of the PB Reality Show says he will release the show, but was not specific about a date.

San Diego, CA, February 22, 2011 — After more than two years of filming, the PB Reality Show didn’t air as planned on January 31st. Jim Lawlor, better known as the PB Millionaire, Executive Producer and star of the PB Reality Show ( http://www.pbreality.com ) says he will release the show, but was not specific about a date. Ever the perfectionist, he says, “we have had so many parties and events that we have not been able to focus on editing. We have acquired an enormous amount of footage, so much so that capturing all the tantalizing drama in just one episode has become problematic.” The show has had two sneak previews over the years with positive reviews, but he says he is, “responding to what people say they like, and we’re going in that direction.”

Showcasing his lifestyle as a self-made millionaire living the California dream, he has a team of attractive assistants, or social secretaries, whose main job is to “fight boredom.” One of those assistants was Crystal Harris, who is now engaged to Playboy’s Hugh Hefner. The show also gives viewers a behind the scenes look at the making of his bikini calendar. Lawlor is often seen around town with these bikini models, who are also part of the show.

Born in Pennsylvania, Lawlor’s father worked for the FBI, his mother worked as an ER nurse. Lawlor would tinker as a child making model rockets, airplanes, and even building his own go-cart. His family moved to Iowa, where he attended college first majoring in Art, but then switching to Business.

When Lawlor moved here to San Diego 20 years ago, he had very little money and found it difficult finding employment despite his college degree. He painted houses to get by and admitted to sleeping in his car on occasion.

Ironically, while painting a house one day, he came up with an idea for a pair of spray painting goggles, which made him millions.

This rags to riches story from first being penniless to now living in a castle here in Pacific Beach is why he is known as the PB Millionaire. He now helps the homeless here in San Diego. One of his favorite charities is called “Photo Charity” ( http://www.photocharity.org ) which focuses mainly on the homeless youth.

This is all reminiscent of a millionaire of another era, Howard Hughes, who spent years making the film The Outlaw in a time when films took a matter of weeks to make.

A new video preview of the show will be released, however, in the next few months called “The Making of the PB Reality Show.” According to Lawlor, it will highlight the filming of the past two years with, “some outrageous, scandalous shi*!”

Free Book, “Fight the Blues as a Black Woman,” to Benefit an Ohio Mental Health Cause

Ohio-based creative writer Tanisha Herrin is releasing a powerful new book, “Fighting the Blues as a Black Woman: How I Survived Suicidal Depression.” The book-her 10th work to be self published-is available for free and will help raise awareness about depression and benefit an Ohio mental health cause.

Akron, Ohio, February. 21, 2011 — Seasoned author Tanisha Herrin is pleased to announce the upcoming release of her new book, “Fighting the Blues as a Black Woman: How I Survived Suicidal Depression.” Although she has nine other self-published books, this will be her first book in the self-help, inspirational genre.

“Fighting the Blues as a Black Woman” is Herrin’s personal perspective on how depression and several suicide attempts almost destroyed her life. It is also a book of inspiration and triumph. Herrin says: “Even though I have been through a lot over several years-being robbed at gun point, three suicide attempts and losing my mother to name a few-I found a way to view my life in a new light. Others who have been through similar downfalls can bounce back to fulfill their life’s purpose.”

Herrin, who is 28 years old, battled depression for 11 years, starting at an early age and continuing through young adulthood. In her book, she poignantly describes her struggles, talks about what may have perpetuated her depression and shares details about the three suicide attempts she had before the unexpected passing of her mother. She also recounts how she used healthy eating, exercise, positive thinking and other strategies to improve her life—not just for herself, but for her children.

Interestingly, “Fighting the Blues as a Black Woman” is not for sale. Instead, people can request a free copy of the book in paperback, ebook or digital format. For each copy of the book that is requested, $1 will be donated toward an Ohio mental health cause via the Nancy A. Herrin Foundation. The non-profit foundation-started in memory of Herrin’s late mother-will donate up to $2,000. “I hope to help raise awareness of how depression can have serious effects on your life if the proper steps aren’t taken to improve your well-being,” Herrin says. “So many people are affected by depression daily that they think it’s normal or okay to be miserable and live an unfulfilling life.”

“Fighting the Blues as a Black Woman” was written for and dedicated to Herrin’s children, who are 6 and 2 years old. “It is possible my children may deal with depression when they get older, and I wanted to set an example for them while hoping to help others.”

Depressive disorders affect approximately 18.8 million American adults or about 9.5 percent of the U.S. population age 18 and older in a given year, reports the National Institute of Mental Health. And according to the World Health Organization, depression will be the second-largest killer after heart disease by 2020. These statistics make “Fighting the Blues as a Black Woman” a timely and valuable resource.

The book, which has a bonus section on poetry, has been described by reviewers as emotional and powerful. For instance, Richard Farrell said, “Tanisha Herrin’s latest publication is far more then it sets out to be. This is because it not only charts the personal history of her twenty-eight years, and the lessons learned that she wishes to pass on. It also does this in a tumbling way that made it impossible for me to leave her book alone.” Virginia Gatmaytan described “Fighting the Blues as a Black Woman” as recommended reading for people who are going through depression. She said, “They will certainly be inspired by Tanisha’s journey. It is likewise worthwhile for people who belong to the inner circles of people in despair. They will be guided in extending support.”

The official release date of “Fight the Blues as a Black Woman” is February 23. The book will be available at Amazon.com, Lulu.com and Herrin’s Website at www.therrinpoetry.com. For more information about the book, call 330-258-0053. For details about the Nancy A. Herrin Foundation, visit www.nancyherrinfoundation.org.
