mighty dog citizen papers

The founding of this first-of-its-kind nation for dogs will be documented in a short dogumentary called “Mighty Dog Nation: The Movie.” Dog owners are invited to enter a national video contest for the chance for their dogs to win a starring role in the dogumentary, which will be 3-5 minutes in length and will debut on www.mightydog.com in January 2010.

In addition to being chosen for feature roles in Mighty Dog(R) Nation: The Movie, three grand prize winners will appear in a 30-second film trailer that will air in a commercial break during the National Dog Show on NBC on Thanksgiving Day.

“As the brand that helps dogs be their mightiest, Mighty Dog(R) dog food is excited to see the many ways in which the citizens of our nation show their mightiness everyday,” said Nicole Balderas, brand manager for Purina Mighty Dog. “Are they fearless front porch defenders or the masters of their domain who oversee all household activities? Regardless of the ways in which these spirited dogs show their mightiness, it’s time for them to be recognized.”

Owners of mighty dogs can go to www.mightydog.com to learn how to become a citizen of the Nation and get a copy of the Official Contest Rules on how to enter the Mighty Dog Nation: The Movie Video Contest.

The first perfume by famous Oscar winning actress Halle Berry is due to appear on the market in March 2009. This woody oriental perfume which carries the actress’ name, Halle, has been in production process for two years.
Berry herself stated that, before she had had her perfume, she had been mixing fragrances by other brands to make her own scent with fig and mimosa. She added olibanum, an African root, which brings spicy aromas to the fragrance, and sandalwood, which smooths transitions in the composition and makes it gourmand. The perfume is very sensual, very natural, very much reflective of the outdoors, as Berry says.

Berry is the kind of woman you’d be jealous of, except she seems like a smart, down-to-earth lady who you could be friends with. She’s one of the most in-demand actresses in Hollywood, she seems thrilled to be a mom to baby Nahla, and she’s in love. It’s safe to say that for her, life smells pretty sweet right now . . . which is just the kind of corny pun I’ll use to tell you about Halle’s new fragrance endeavor.

Launching next week, Halle by Halle Berry ($17–$35 for EDP) is a woody, oriental scent. The top notes are Sicilian bergamot, fig leaves, and pear blossom layered over heart notes of freesia petals, hibiscus flower, and ultra mimosa. A dry-down of sandalwood, driftwood, cashmere musk, olibanum sbsolute, and sensual amber add a more sensual tone. Along with eaux de parfum sizes, the scent will be available as a body lotion. If it succeeds in making me feel half as beautiful as Halle is, I’ll consider it a huge success.

Ohio Wine

Get Your Copy of the Ohio Wine Guide

The Ohio Grape Industries Committee has responded to consumers who want to know more about Ohio’s new generation of wines. The Committee released the Ohio Wine Guide, a booklet that provides more than directions to Ohio’s many wineries. This helpful piece provides information on the varieties and styles of wines made by Ohio’s talented winemakers.

“The more people know about Ohio wines, the more likely they are to try them. And once they try them, they like them,” explains Nick Ferrante winemaker for the Ferrante Winery and Ristorante in Geneva, Ohio.

The Ohio Wine Guide is available by calling 866-OHGRAPES, or completing the form on their website. Ohio wineries also have copies and the book will also be distributed through the Ohio Department of Transportation’s Information Centers and local convention and visitors bureaus.

Sustain Yourself

Twenty-five years ago, Earthbound Farm began in a small way with just one personal choice: to farm organically. Our founders, Drew and Myra Goodman, just didn’t want to put harmful chemicals on the food they were growing literally in their backyard. They understood that the air, water, land, and food that sustains us would all be healthier if they farmed using sustainable organic methods.

Sometimes it can seem as though we, as individuals, don’t have enough power to make a dent in the problems facing our planet today. The good news is that each of us can help protect the environment through the personal choices we make every day. Do something big or something small, but do something.

Power in Our Pocketbooks
Each of us carries incredible power in our pocketbooks. When we choose sustainable products, we help create demand for still more environmentally friendly products, which in turn drives changes in the companies that make them. Together, we can create a new economy that will help us all live more lightly on the planet.

Research shows that our personal environmental impact is largely a result of food, home energy, and transportation. Food represents a unique opportunity for us to reduce our impact, because food choices are relatively easy to make (or change), and they make such a big difference. According to Environmental Defense, if everyone in the US had one meat-free day a week, for example, the carbon dioxide savings would be the same as taking 8 million cars off American roads.

Cheese

ChoosingYou want to start by choosing the best quality cheese, no matter what variety you’re buying. Here are some tips:
Cheese should have a fresh, clean appearance with no cracks or surface mold. Be sure the packaging is sealed properly, without any openings or tears that expose the cheese.
Buy cheese at a store or market where frequent shipments of fresh cheese are delivered. Check the “use by” or “sell by” dates on packaged cheese. If buying fresh cut cheese, ask the clerk how best to wrap the cheese for storage as well as how long the cheese can be kept.
Look for the “Wisconsin Cheese” identification. You’ll know you are buying a product that has to meet the highest of cheesemaking standards.
HandlingAfter arriving home with your new cheese finds, remember the three C’s of cheese handling.
Clean: Because cheese easily absorbs other flavors, keep it away from other aromatic foods in the refrigerator.
Cold: Refrigerate cheese between 34° and 38°F.
Covered: Cheese loses flavor and moisture when it’s exposed to air, so make sure to wrap hard cheeses, such as Parmesan, in tightly drawn plastic wrap. Soft or fresh cheeses, such as Mascarpone, are best stored in clean, airtight containers. Semi-hard cheeses, including Cheddar and Gouda, can be wrapped in plastic wrap as well as a lighter wrapping paper, such as parchment.

Exercise Helps Vessels after Heart Attack, but Benefits Vanish when Work-outs Stop

Aerobic exercise, resistance training and both together safely improved blood vessel (or endothelial) function after heart attack, but quitting training quickly caused the improvements to lapse, according to a new study reported in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association.

“While it is generally accepted that exercise training for people with coronary artery
disease improves vascular function, controversy still exists regarding the right level and right
format of exercise,” said Margherita Vona, M.D., lead author of the study and a cardiologist
and director of the Cardiac Rehabilitation Center, Clinique Valmont-Genolier in Glion sur
Montreux, Switzerland.
Researchers assessed the effect of different types of exercise, as well as the effect of
stopping exercise in 209 people who’d had heart attacks. They measured participants’
endothelial function at the start of the study and after four weeks of training. Participants then
quit their training for one month and researchers measured blood vessel function again.
The researchers randomly assigned the patients to receive aerobic training, resistance
training, aerobic and resistance training combined, or no training:
· The aerobics participants underwent moderate training four times a week for a month.
Each session included a 10-minute warm-up, 40 minutes of cycling at an intensity of 75
percent of maximum heart rate and a 10-minute cool-down.
· The resistance training group did four sets of 10 resistance exercises repeated 10–12
times, for a total of 40 exercises four times a week for four weeks — a controlled,
moderate-intensity training as recommended by the American Heart Association’s
guidelines for resistance training.
· The combined group alternated controlled resistance and controlled aerobic training
sessions.
The endothelial function of those in the three exercise groups improved after four weeks of
exercise, regardless of the type of exercise, researchers said. The endothelial function on the
non-exercising group, however, did not improve significantly.
Researchers used flow-mediated dilation (FMD) to measure blood vessel function.
After one month of training, FMD increased from about 4 percent before the exercise
programs, to about 10 percent (which is normal function) in trained patients. Researchers
found no significant change in the non-training group (FMD increased from 4.3 percent to 5.1
percent).
However, after one month of detraining, or stopping regular exercise, all the positive
effects on endothelial function were lost. Thus, long-term adherence to training programs is
necessary to maintain vascular benefits on endothelial function, Vona said.
