Diet Magic

DIET MAGIC ENERGY/APPETITE CONTROL PRODUCT STORY.  It is an unbelievable product! It works like Magic!  I have never seen a product that had instant results like this does. Check it out at M.C Diamond Ranch.

Over the last thirty years, my business partner, Danny Gibson, has been a consistent multiple six-figure earners in the network marketing industry. Danny also owned his own MLM Company for several years and sold it for a substantial profit.  During this time Danny has worked with many products, but none proved to be as profitable as the energy/appetite control products that were available prior to 2004.

During this time Danny worked with and became friends with a lady who managed a production facility that manufactured many of the products of this type that were being sold all over the country. When these products were taken off the market Danny’s friend vowed she would develop an all natural product that was as good or better than these products but without any of the perceived problems.

A few months ago she sent Danny some product and said she had succeeded in developing the product after many attempts without success in producing the desired results. Danny had tested and tried every product of this type known to man, looking for something that would come remotely close to duplicating the effects of the previous products. He was resigned to the fact that he would never see such a product in his lifetime. The product just stayed in the package for a few weeks with Danny assuming it was like all the rest.

Sharon, Danny’s wife, walked by one day and noticed the package from their friend. She told Danny she was going to try the product because she wanted to lose about twenty pounds. Danny cautioned her that she had not been able to take the pre-2004 products because they gave her the jitters. Sharon took the product, felt great, and the rest is history. She has now lost twenty-six pounds and continues to take Diet Magic for maintenance.

Needless to say, this got Danny’s attention. Over the next few months Danny begin marketing the product to around a hundred and fifty health food store type establishments. The re-orders increased weekly. The product was working for almost everyone as an energy/appetite control product. It was a perfect product for network marketing.

We began our search for the right company. After serious talks with several companies, all of which wanted the opportunity to market the product, and two who wanted to do spin off companies with this product as the only product, we knew we had found the right company.

The company we chose was Symmetry Direct.

For many of us, this is our “second-chance of a life-time”. A lot of people are going to improve their health immensely and make a lot of money with this product and this company.

Professional’s Choice Brings Manufacturing Back to the USA – Saving American Jobs!
Dal Scott, owner and founder of Professional’s Choice Sport Medicine Products, Inc. makes a commendable decision to move a substantial portion of his manufacturing business back to Southern California. Production was originally sent to China in a effort to decrease internal cost and pass along saving to Professional’s Choice customers. However, when Scott realized overseas production was putting American jobs in jeopardy, he knew changes had to be made. With new advanced computerized equipment that would drastically improve productivity. A significant investment, but will actually cut cost in the long run.

Horses and Other Livestock Can Thrive in Cold Weather

Seeing horses and other livestock outdoors during frigid winter weather may trigger concerns from the public about the welfare of these animals. What most people don’t understand is that most livestock can remain comfortable in low temperatures, say experts in Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences.

Unlike humans, horses acclimate to cold weather by developing fatty tissue that “winterizes” them, according to Ann Swinker, associate professor of equine science.

“Even in cold weather, horses prefer to be outdoors,” said Swinker. “The last thing you want to do is put an animal that is acclimated to the cold weather in a heated environment. If the horse is in good physical condition with a good body-fat ratio, it will be fine.”

When horses exhibit cold stress, typical comfort-seeking behavior is expressed, such as huddling together and seeking shelter from wind. Foals will curl up to minimize body surface area. Shivering is also a sign of cold sensitivity. This happens when a horse might not have enough body fat or energy to keep warm.

“People need to watch body condition score during winter to make sure the diet is meeting the energy needs of the horse,” said Dr. Robert Van Saun, extension veterinarian and professor of veterinary science. “The energy requirement to maintain a horse on a daily basis is going to increase. Depending on temperatures, there are some calculations for horses as well as other species in which, for every degree below the lower critical threshold temperature, you increase energy requirements by about 10 percent. We usually talk about 25 percent increase during these winter months. Adding a half-amount more of grain or fat sources to the diet is very important to accommodate the cold.”

Horses also increase body metabolism through various physiological mechanisms. Bacterial fermentation of forage in the hind gut of the horse can generate a tremendous amount of heat. As a result, horses can tolerate much colder weather than humans. Adding fiber to the diet will increase heat of fermentation.

Endocrine systems perform other essential physiological functions a horse needs to stay warm. To conserve central body core temperatures, the thyroid gland produces the hormone thyroxin to increase metabolic rate and provide warmth. Swinker noted that horses have another innate defense against cold weather.

“A long winter hair coat serves as insulation by reducing the loss of body heat and provides the first line of defense against the cold,” she said. “Its insulating value is reduced when the horse becomes wet and/or is covered with mud. This is why it is important to provide regular grooming and windbreaks—whether man-made or natural, such as tree lines or shrubs.”

Horses have guard hairs which serve as an external hair coat in winter that protects the animal from excessive moisture. However, Swinker points out, not all horses have guard hairs.

“Show horses with hair coats that are artificially short should not be turned outside in bitter winter cold without a blanket or windbreak,” Swinker explained. “If you do have a show horse that is housed in a barn during most of the winter, the barn should be adequately ventilated to reduce the risk of respiratory disease. Proper ventilation eliminates excess moisture and condensation buildup. Care also should be taken to prevent a direct draft on the horse; this will cause stress and additional problems.”

Although animals may adapt to cold weather, Van Saun says they may need a little extra daily attention. “Ready access to water is extremely important,” he said. “Water needs to be replaced once it becomes frozen. If horses don’t drink water, they can’t eat dry food to get the energy needed to produce body heat. Water deprivation can cause colic or abdominal distress in horses.”

Census Reveals Horse Populations

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service recently released data collected from its 2007 Census of Agriculture. These include U.S. livestock numbers for the horse and pony category, as well as the mule, burro and donkey category.

The total number of horses and ponies in the U.S. in 2007 as found by the Census is 4,028,827, with 575,942 of those animals residing on farms. That is up nearly 385,000 from the 3,644,278 horses and ponies that were counted when the last Census was taken in 2002.

The total number of mules, burros and donkeys in the U.S. in 2007 as found by the Census is 283,806, with 99,746 of those animals residing on farms. That is up nearly 180,000 from the 105,358 mules, burros and donkeys that were counted when the last Census was taken in 2002.

If you need to help a sensitive horse in a turn or if a horse is very bendy and wants help balancing himself you should find the bit in the complete  line of  Molly Powell Bit at M.C. Diamond Molly Bits.

The two bits I put on this post I like a lot. Molly Powell “The Rookie” 3/8″ Twisted Sweet Iron  dog bone 5” Cheeks, 5 1/2″Mouth. This is one of my favorite bits to use on my colts that are just getting into a shank bit. The 3-piece mouth in this bit allows me to introduce the curb chain to my young horses and still keep them confident when I pull on them in the turns. If you ride young horses, you need to add this bit to your collection.

Molly Powell Short “Shank Solid Run” with Silver Large Sweet Iron Chain Mouth. 7-1/2″ Cheek 5-1/2″ Mouth. This is a very versatile bit that I love to use on a horse that needs a little bend and a little whoa. The large chain mouthpiece is a fresh alternative to a snaffle. If you like the 3-piece bits, you’ll love this chain bit!

 You never can have to many bits.
