Happy Fathers Day
Train your children in the ways of Liberty and Freedom. Teach them values and give them your wisdom that they may carry the torch when the time comes.
Remember that it is YOUR duty to teach them to protect themselves from tyranny.
Teach them to daydream teach them to think freely teach them to never forget who they are, that they are an individual full of love and life and that their thoughts are theirs and theirs alone.
Teach them that it is not a crime to think, to feel, to speak, to live and to love.
And LEARN as much from them as you can, they have so much to offer. Without a care in the world they give their love free of stipulation, with out a care in the world they dream dreams that we once believed in.
Most importantly, Love them as your creator has loved you and teach them that love and truth will conquer anything.

Natural Electrolytes in Foods
Electrolytes are a group of minerals essential for all forms of life and include potassium, calcium, magnesium, chloride, phosphate and sodium. They are in all fluids in your body, including blood, urine and cellular fluids. Electrolytes get their name from the electrical charges they carry, which support all your body's systems. Your body works hard to balance electrolytes, since having too much or too little leads to problems with normal electric conductivity. Most foods in your diet provide several types of electrolyte minerals, but some natural foods are especially rich in certain ones.
Potassium
Potassium
has a positive charge and resides primarily in the fluid inside of
cells. It passes through cell membranes as needed, to keep an even flow
of electrical current and balance fluids. You need 4,700 mg of potassium
each day, according to the Linus Pauling Institute. Fresh produce and
nuts are your best options for getting your daily potassium requirement.
A medium-size baked potato with skin contains approximately 925 mg, 1/2
cup of steamed spinach offers 420 mg, 1 oz. of sunflower seeds has 240
mg and a medium banana provides around 420 mg.
Calcium
While
about 99 percent of the calcium in your body goes to support bone
structure, the remaining 1 percent is involved with several biochemical
reactions. A portion of calcium remains in the intercellular fluid,
which is the fluid around cells. As a healthy adult, make sure you get
the recommended 1,000 mg of calcium every day, advises the Office of
Dietary Supplements. Dairy foods are your best option for calcium
intake, with a 1-cup serving of yogurt having 415 mg and an 8-oz. glass
of milk providing nearly 300 mg. Spinach, kale, tofu and fortified
orange juice are additional sources of this electrolyte.
Magnesium
Magnesium
is a highly important electrolyte since it helps keep your heart rhythm
steady. Trace amounts of magnesium circulate in your bloodstream, but
your body works hard to maintain steady levels. Women require 320 mg of
daily magnesium, while men need as much as 420 mg, notes the Office of
Dietary Supplements. A 3-oz. serving of halibut offers 90 mg, 1 oz. of
roasted almonds has 80 mg, 1/2 cup of cooked spinach provides 75 mg and 2
tbsps. of peanut butter contains 50 mg.
Chloride
Chloride
is a negatively charged ion that comes mainly from salt and resides in
the fluid outside cells, which helps to maintain normal fluid balance
and is also a component of stomach acid. Making sure that you ingest
your daily 2 g of chloride helps to keep you properly hydrated. Seaweed,
rye bread, tomatoes and olives are all full of chloride. Most of your
chloride intake probably comes from regular table salt.
Phosphate
Phosphate
is a natural electrolyte found in almost all foods, but too much can
have a laxative effect. According to MedlinePlus, you need 700 mg of
phosphate daily. Carbonated cola beverages contain large amounts of
phosphate in the form of phosphorous, which can deplete normal fluid
balance if you consume too much. Phosphate from meat and dairy is easier
for you to absorb than that found in whole grains and cereals.
Sodium
Most
of the sodium in your body is in the fluid around cells. Sodium and
potassium work side-by-side, going through cell walls and conducting
electricity. This process is necessary for heart beats, nerve
transmission and muscle contraction. You need 1,500 mg of sodium daily,
which is equivalent to 3,800 mg of table salt. Few foods provide high
amounts of natural sodium. A medium carrot offers 42 mg, an 8 oz. glass
of tomato juice contains 24 mg and 1 cup of brown rice has 10 mg. The
majority of sodium in your diet comes from salted foods, such as bread,
ham, pretzels and potato chips.

Senate Bill S 510 Food Safety Modernization Act vote imminent: Would outlaw gardening and saving seeds
(NaturalNews) Senate Bill 510, the Food Safety Modernization Act, has been called “the most dangerous bill in the history of the United States of America.” It would grant the U.S. government new authority over the public’s right to grow, trade and transport any foods. This would give Big brother the power to regulate the tomato plants in your backyard. It would grant them the power to arrest and imprison people selling cucumbers at farmer’s markets. It would criminalize the transporting of organic produce if you don’t comply with the authoritarian rules of the federal government.

Top Picks
German Shepherd
This dog was bred for work, literally. In the 1880′s German breeders wanted to create a dog with outstanding intelligence, herding capabilities and protective instincts. Thus was born; the German Shepherd dog (GSD). These dogs have been used for every service job imaginable and are still one of the most popular dogs for the job today. But the German Shepherds popularity doesn’t stop at work; they were a favorite among old world royalty and continue to be a popular choice for movies and television. If you want a dog that will be a loyal member of the family as well as a fearless work dog ready to tackle anything, pick the GSD.
Great Traits:
-Loyalty
-Intelligence

Doberman Pinscher
Car Frederick Doberman, a tax collector in Germany in the 1900′s, bred this dog to protect himself when collecting taxes down dark alleys. The dog that resulted is an amazing and yet very misunderstood Doberman Pinscher. Much like the Rottweiler or the Pitbull, the Doberman has a reputation of viciousness. There is no doubt that a Doberman in attack mode can be lethal if he needs to be, however this dog is disciplined and intelligent – making an unwarranted attack highly unlikely. If trained properly the Doberman would be a perfect dog for hunting, guarding or work purposes.
Great Traits:
-Fearless
-Athletic
-Powerful Bite
-Gentle, loving
-Loyal (said to have a respect and protect attitude)
-Very trainable
-Smart
-Good protectors

Boxer
A lot can be said about the boxer breed, but this quote says it all.
The character of the Boxer is of the greatest importance and demands the most solicitous attention. He is renowned from olden times for his great love and faithfulness to his master and household. He is harmless in the family, but distrustful of strangers, bright and friendly of temperament at play, but brave and determined when aroused. His intelligence and willing tractability, his modesty and cleanliness make him a highly desirable family dog and cheerful companion. He is the soul of honesty and loyalty, and is never false or treacherous even in his old age. 1938 AKC Boxer breed standardGreat Traits:
-Smart
-Energetic
-Agile, very athletic
-Loyal
-Fun
-Powerful
-Hard worker (extremely focused when challenged)
-Low Maintenance

Rottweiler
The Rottweiler boasts the most powerful bite of any dog, accompanied by a surprisingly friendly attitude. In general, rottweilers are well suited for roles as companions, guard dogs and works dogs. These dogs are dying to please you and eager to participate in any job you find for them. While they are difficult to train, with a little bit of persistence and patience you can teach your Rottweiler to be an amazing all purpose dog.
Note* Rottweilers have a bad reputation regarding human attacks. Most healthy, normal Rottweilers do not deserve this reputation. These dogs are not “natural born killers”.
Great Traits:
-Effective Guard Dog
-Self Asssured
-Calm
-Courageous
-Lovable
-Loyal (do not make immediate bonds with people)
-Strong instincts (with herding and guarding)

Understanding Your Dog
It is easy to assume you understand the genetic traits of a dog, but do you really? Many breeds have mixed genetic backgrounds which give them unique personality traits and health characteristics. One of the easiest ways to find out the exact genetic makeup of your dog is by purchasing an at home dog DNA test. This test is simple, it won’t hurt your dog and provides a complete genetic report of your pet with quick swab of their gum. This detailed report will help you create exercise, play and eating plans for your dog and give you the knowledge you need to prevent possible future health conditions. The results of your dog DNA test will also assist you in targeting the best training methods to use with your particular breed.When is a dog, a bad dog?
Bad dogs aren’t born, they are made. With the rare exception of certain dogs that seem to have a nasty temperament from birth, most dogs that may be difficult to train have usually been abused or traumatized in some way. Many times these dogs can be re-trained, however it should be noted that some abused dogs may have lifelong problems with training due to the trauma they have experienced in the past.Selecting the right qualities
Every family has different needs and that should be taken into account when selecting your breed choice. Carefully evaluate your situation and ask yourself the following questions-Will my dog have enough room to run and play?
-Will my dog be good with my kids? Or Will my dog bother other peoples kids?
-Do you have time to train the dog?
-Are you prepared to take care of all of the dogs needs?

What is a Survivalist?
As the survivalism
movement continues to gain steam in America today, many are starting to
ask what it all really means? A lot of people throw around the term
“prepper”, as an alternative to “survivalist” and it’s no surprise. But
what exactly is a “prepper”
or survivalist? A survivalist isn’t simply someone who’s thinking about
the future or wanting to be prepared. Anyone can be prepared but I
think true survivalists live a lifestyle of preparedness focused around
clearly defined principles and continuous personal improvement.
While everyone may have their own definition of what a “survivalist” is, here’s mine:
