Nutrition Action Healthletter, April, 2008

If too much salt has kept you out of the soup aisle lately, listen up, Dr. McDougall’s new Light Sodium Soups may be just the things to throw into your shopping cart today … and your bag or briefcase tomorrow.

The six soups have 330 to 360 milligrams of sodium–far less than the usual 500 to 1,500 mg per serving for single-serve containers. But you’d never know it from the taste. There’s not a hint of bland or boring. And all the ingredients are vegetarian (began, even) and free of bad fats.

The Lentil Couscous–made with whole-grain couscous and curried Middle Eastern flair–packs an impressive-for-soup 12 grams of protein and an reno nevada plastic surgeons impressive-for-any-food 9 grams of fiber. The smoky, warm-your-insides Split Pea is in the same ballpark, while the White Bean & Pasta supplies 7 grams of protein and 8 grams of fiber.

You’ll find less fiber and protein in the Tomato Basil Pasta

High net-worth consumers rated Rohl, Hansgrohe
and Toto the most prestigious luxury bathroom fixtures in the 2008 Luxury
Brand Status Index (LBSI) survey from the independent New York-based Luxury
Institute ( www.LuxuryInstitute.com ). Respondents who would recommend Rohl
say, “They are beautiful and of a very high quality.” One respondent
commented that they “have actually recently recommended them.” Hansgrohe
and Toto were second and third respectively.

“As luxury housing experiences challenging times, wealthy consumers and
interior designers are becoming far more discerning as to what luxury bath
fixtures brands they will acquire for luxury renovations and construction.
The decision is not easy in a fragmented market,” said Milton Pedraza, CEO
of the Luxury Institute. “Our impartial surveys are conducted with
independent panels weighted to reflect national results. Results are
tabulated by external analytical experts to ensure a level of transparency
and objectivity that has earned us the trust of consumers, the industry and
the media. We strive continuously to earn and reinforce the trust that
allows us to facilitate a constructive dialogue between wealthy consumers
and luxury brands via our ratings surveys.”

Following are the 17 luxury bathroom fixtures brands that were rated (in
alphabetical order):

1. American Standard 10. Jado
2. California Faucets 11. Kohler
3. Delta 12. Moen
4. Eljer 13. Newport Brass
5. Elkay 14. Price Pfister

Funky Mopeds Ride To Drink Drivers’ Rescue

Funky Mopeds Ride To Drink Drivers’ Rescue

Evening News (Edinburgh, Scotland), Oct 16, 1999

Byline: IAN JOHNSTON CATHERINE LYST

YOU’VE driven to the office, gone out after work, had one drink too many and somehow you’ve got to get home.

Up to now either you or your car would have been stuck – but one for the road is set to become the solution rather than the problem.

For Scottish water polo internationals Keith Anderson and Ramon Valvona have formed a new moped-powered company to offer the tired and emotional a lift home.

Anyone who has had too much to drink can ring the company, called Last Orders, which will act as a cross between a taxi and a car collection service.

The scooters enable employees to drive to the customer’s location, where they fold up the bikes and pop them in the boot.

Then they get behind the wheel of the client’s car to take them home before retrieving their scooter from the car ready to drive to their next job.

Last Orders drivers will be fully insured to drive any car up to the value of $40,000. The first two-and-a-half miles of a journey costs $10, with every mile thereafter costing $2.50 per mile. “We are aiming first and foremost to cut drink driving, ” Mr Valvona, said. “Our message is don’t drink and drive, don’t take a chance, let us take you home.

“We first saw the scheme operating in Perth, Australia. We thought it would work in Edinburgh because of the increased parking and transport restrictions. People can’t leave their cars or they get parking tickets or towed away
