Vegan Chia Seed Oil Softgels (Gelatin-Free) Omega 3-6-9 Animal-free softgels Cold Pressed, Unrefined, Natural Vegan Society Certified Chia seed oil is a naturally vegan health food that has many positive properties. The oil comes from the Chia seed, commonly used on the novelty item, the Chia Pet™. It has tremendous nutritional value for those who choose to eat the seeds or drink the oil that comes from the seeds. Chia seed has been known for its healthful properties for centuries, when it was used as a staple food by Native Americans of the Mexico and the American Southwest. It was used by the ancient Aztecs as a high energy endurance food when natives needed to travel long distances on very little food. Vegan Chia seed can be used as a unique part of any dietary plan. Chia seed helps build muscles and other tissues and is known to aid in human digestion and digestive problems. One of the best properties of Vegan Chia seed is that it contains a high amount of oil. In fact, it is known to be the richest vegan source for the essential omega-3 fatty acid, alpha linolenic acid. Chia Seed contains up to three to ten times the omega-3 content of most normal grains and contains at least twice the content of protein in most grains. Omega-3 oil, along with other essential fatty acids, help absorb fat soluble vitamins, including vitamin A, D, E and K. Vegan Chia seed oil is also found to be an excellent source of linoleic acid, which is an essential fatty acid the body can't manufacture on its own. Unsaturated fatty acids are important for the respiratory process of vital organs and help make it easier for oxygen to be transported by the blood stream to all organs, tissues and cells. These essential fatty acids aid in the maintenance and lubrication of all the body's cells and are able to combine with cholesterol and proteins to form the membranes that make up the

Ok, my husband has been in Mexico on vacation for about 3 months now and last week and this week when I try to call him the phone won't ring most the time and sometimes it will sound like it rings to me but he will say it didn't ring there, he said it is because of the rain? Anybody know anything about the phones not working there due to rain? Also, he is in a little city. Thanks guys.

Poor reception, perhaps?
Their phones are just like everyone else's phones. Just because it's a different country, doesn't mean they have different phones.

My boyfriend and I are headed to Puerto Vallarta for the week in the middle of this June. We plan to do a lot of laying on the beach, sitting by the pool, drinking and eating. We plan on doing two or three other fun things during the week (zip lining, parasailing, tours, or jetskiing). The hotel (Mayan Palace) and airfare is paid for (but not all inclusive) … With all of those things considered how much money do you think I should bring for the week?

Thanks!!

Really depends on what you want to do…given what you listed there, I would say about $800 USD each, or about $1500 for the two of you. Cabs are cheap, just make sure the fare is stated when leaving from the hotel so the driver doesn't try to bilk some extra dollars out of you.

You'll get a lot more by changing your dollars to pesos, and asking for costs (cabs, craft stands, flea markets, jewelry shops, etc.) in pesos rather than dollars, because merchants will quote you at a 10:1 ratio (i.e. 100 pesos to 1 $US dollar) whereas the rate is really around 14:1 but nobody likes to do the math, right? Really depends on if you'll be doing actual shopping vs. window shopping…

Very incredible meals can be done on the cheap, as are drinks. There is a strip on the malecon where you sit on plastic chairs on the beach and can order 3 beers and a cocktail for $5. I think it is called Burros Bar, but I don't remember as I ordered several of the aforementioned combinations! But there is a wooden donkey on the sidewalk, you can't miss it!

Returning to Xbox 360, the Call of Juarez story steps a generation back in time with Bound in Blood, a prequel to the original game. Set 20 years earlier, the adventure stars Ray and Thomas McCall, two brothers from Atlanta, in their prime, fighting for the Confederate army in the War Between the States. As the game begins, tragedy tears them from the war and their home. Through sequences of stealth, light platforming puzzles, and plenty of shooting, Ray and Thomas face a full complement of classic Western scenarios — duels, jailbreaks, gunfights, horseback battles, stagecoach chases, and more — as they travel from Georgia to Mexico, on a quest for a pile of cursed gold they believe will be their family’s salvation. Once again, the Call of Juarez story is told from two perspectives, as players take the roles of two different lead characters, but unlike in the original, Bound in Blood players can choose which character they want to play in each stage (computer AI will control the other). Ray McCall, featured as a much older man in the first game, is the more direct of the two. He specializes in two-fisted six-shooting and big explosives. Thomas is more cunning, with a knack for sniper shooting and stealth. In the tradition of rollicking Spaghetti Western films, weapons in the game are slightly more reliable and easy to use than era-accurate, and the game’s gunplay was designed around giving the weapons a solid, authentic feel when fired. In addition to the single-player campaign, online multiplayer modes allow gamers to fight it out in cinema-inspired Western combat. ~ T.J.

Activist Documentary DVD - Comedic documentary filmmaker Michael Moore takes his film crew throughout the U.S. for The Big One, a behind-the-scenes video diary of the promotional tour for his book Downsize This! He appears at several chain bookstores throughout the nation, signing autographs and delivering wicked political commentary to audiences. Along the way, he stops at various small-town parking lots and malls, gathering brief interviews with assorted Americans. Some of his interview subjects include an ex-convict who was hired as cheap labor for TWA airlines while in prison and a group of Borders employees who organize a union. Brief celebrity appearances include Garrison Keillor, Studs Terkel, and Cheap Trick’s Rick Nielsen. In his typical ambushing fashion, Moore makes several cleverly unexpected visits to people in powerful positions. One attempt finds Moore bringing laid-off working mothers to visit a local government official with the intent of cleaning his office to show that they want a job. In Centralia, IL, Moore visits the Leaf candy company, who plans to move their factories to Mexico, resulting in massive layoffs. The camera crew heads into their administrative offices and attempts to meet with the CEO in witty trademark fashion. Other corporate targets include Johnson Controls, Pillsbury, and, finally, Nike, where CEO Phil Knight grants Moore some dialogue. - The Big One at Barnes and Noble

MOVIE DVD - This undistinguished comedy is about twin sisters separated at birth, one grows up in poverty in a rural village, and the other goes on to fame and fortune as a sophisticated singer and dancer. Juana (Maria Elena Velasco, also the director and writer) is taken by her father after she was born to be raised in a remote Mexican village, while Chana (also Velasco) grows up in Mexico City where she gets to meet the celebrated Spanish singer Pilar del Rio (Carmen Montejo) because her mother works for Pilar. After the mother dies, Chana is adopted by the singer and moves to Spain, where she also learns to sing and dance. When Pilar decides to go on a tour that includes Mexico, Chana and her long-separated twin finally have a chance to meet again. But there is no guarantee that everything will go smoothly, since the gap between them is so vast, and on top of that, Chana’s irate ex-husband is unaware that she has a look-alike twin — and he kidnaps the wrong woman. - Ni Chana Ni Juana at Barnes and Noble
