I am back, relaxed, refreshed, and ready to take on the world. Or at least starting a daycare, anyhow...
We spent the weekend in southern B.C. at Koocanusa Lake. Last year some friends invited us along on the houseboat they had rented, and it was so much fun that we decided to do it again. The general opinion was that this year was way more fun than last year. The houseboat has three private bedrooms, two double beds in a loft, a couch that makes into a double bed, and the table makes into a double bed. It also has microwave, stove, two fridges, propane BBQ, fireplace, DVD player, one and a half baths, hot tub, and slide off of the top floor of the boat. Marc and I took our boat also, so we skied, wakeboarded, and tubed until we were too sore to move. All day we can just putter up and down the lake in the houseboat, and then at night we beach it. Last year when some of them went cliff jumping- and you have no idea how high the cliff was- the one girl hit the water wrong. In a few seconds she had the nastiest bruise I have ever seen from her thigh to her knee. The impact actually broke the skin open. When she got home, the doctor told her she bruised her kidney, spleen, and rib cage. He said he had never seen such severe damage from water, and really questioned her if her husband was abusive! We were talking about it last weekend, and I asked her just how bad it hurt. And she said, " we'll just say I have not cried from physical pain since I was six years old ( she is 26 now) but I cried so hard when I was alone in the loft!" Thankfully, we had no injuries this year and yes, they went cliff jumping again! She wanted to do it again, but when we climbed up there, she wasn't able to jump off. I was so glad.
It was good to get home, and now I am anxious to get everything rolling in ernest for Lisa's KidzKare. I will try to keep you updated, but I have alot going on and don't always feel in the writing mood. =) Have a great day!

Rhodiola Rosea is the latest natural remedy to join the arsenal of natural anxiety and stress (benefit of rhodiola) reducers.

Rhodiola Rosea, also known as Golden Root, is a native plant of arctic Siberia. For centuries it has been used by eastern European and Asian cultures for physical endurance, work productivity, longevity, resistance to high altitude sickness, and to treat fatigue, depression, anemia, impotence, gastrointestinal ailments, infections, and nervous system disorders.

The first recorded medicinal applications of rodia riza (renamed Rhodiola Rosea) was made by the Greek physician, Dioscorides, in 77 C.E. in 'De Materia Medica'. Rhodiola Rosea has been included in official Russian medicine since 1969.

Despite its long history, the Western world has only recently become aware of the health benefits of Rhodiola Rosea. It has come to the attention of many natural health practitioners because of studies which tested its affects on combating anxiety and stress.

Rhodiola Rosea is considered an adaptogen. This means it has an overall stabilizing effect on the body without disrupting other functions. Its ability to normalize hormones may be effective for treating depression and anxiety.

Studies of Rhodiola Rosea show that it stimulates neurotransmitters and enhances their effects on the brain. This includes the ability for the brain to process serotonin which helps the body to adapt to stress.

Since adaptogens improve the body's overall ability to handle stress, it has been studied to identify it's effects on biological, chemical and physical stress.

A study was performed to test the effects of Rhodiola Rosea when stress or benefit of rhodiola is caused by intense mental work (such as final exams). Such tests concluded that using Rhodiola Rosea improved the amount and quality of work, increasing mental clarity and reducing the effects of fatigue.

The effects of Rhodiola Rosea have also been tested on stress and anxiety from both physical and emotional sources. A report by the American Botanical Council states that "Most users find that it improves their mood, energy level, and mental clarity." They also report on a study that indicated Rhodiola Rosea could increase stress tolerance while at the same time protecting the brain and heart from the physical affects of stress.

This report included details of studies which highlight the overall health benefits of Rhodiola Rosea.

The generally recommended dose is 200-600mg/day. The active properties should be a minimum 0.8 percent salidroside and 3 percent rosavin.

It is important for consumers to know that Rhodiola may be sold using other species that do not share the properties of Rhodiola Rosea, benefit of rhodiola, or at ineffective strengths for treatment. Anyone with depression or anxiety should also check with a health professional when treating these symptoms.

Make no mistake: Our mission at Tip Top Equities is to sift through the thousands of underperforming companies out there to find the golden needle in the haystack. A stock worthy of your investment. A stock with the potential for big returns. More often than not, the stocks we profile show a significant increase in stock price, sometimes in days, not months or years. We have come across what we feel is one of those rare deals that the public has not heard about yet. Read on to find out more.

Nano Superlattice Technology Inc. (OTCBB Symbol: NSLT) is a nanotechnology company engaged in the coating of tools and components with nano structured PVD coatings for high-tech industries.

Nano utilizes Arc Bond Sputtering and Superlattice technology to apply multi-layers of super-hard elemental coatings on an array of precision products to achieve a variety of physical properties. The application of the coating on industrial products is designed to change their physical properties, improving a product's durability, resistance, chemical and physical characteristics as well as performance. Nano's super-hard alloy coating materials were especially developed for printed circuit board drills in response to special market requirements

The cutting of circuit boards causes severe wear on the cutting edge of drills and routers. With the increased miniaturization of personal electronics devices the dimensions of holes and cut aways are currently less than 0.2 mm. Nano coats tools with an ultra thin coating (only a few nanometers in thickness) of nitrides which can have a hardness of up to half that of diamond. This has proven to increase tool life by almost ten times. Nano plans to continue research and development into these techniques due to the vast application range for this type of nanotechnology

We believe that Nano is a company on the move. With today�s steady move towards miniaturization we feel that Nano is a company with the right product at the right time. It is our opinion that an investment in Nano will produce great returns for our readers.
