Green tea offers a variety of health benefits. Ranging from headache relief to inhibiting the spread of cancer, green tea can take credit for greatly improving the quality of your health. Now, studies have shown that regular consumption of green tea can also have a positive impact on your liver, and may help slow the progression of fibrosis. So, what exactly is it about green tea that makes it so healthy for us?

More than any other type of tea, green tea leaves contain a large amount of polyphenols, potent antioxidants commonly found in most teas. These antioxidants help reduce cellular oxidation and inflammation, two dangerous factors contributing to liver damage. Numerous studies have been conducted on these ingredients and the results all point to the same conclusion – green tea lessens the severity of liver damage and aids in slowing fibrosis.

If green tea is so healthy, then what about all the other teas available, each rich in their own ingredients? The difference is in the way the leaves are processed. Green tea is processed in such a way so that the health aiding ingredients are left intact, while other tea leaves are not.

Like many other teas, the green variety does have a high caffeine content, which most people with liver disease know should be consumed sparingly. But, with scientific proof now pointing to green tea’s liver health benefits, a cup or two each day seems like a fair compromise. If you’re still concerned about your caffeine intake, opt for caffeine-free tea, still with all the same liver-friendly ingredients. Consider replacing your morning cup of coffee with a nice hot cup of green tea, for maximum liver health benefits.

Music enthusiasts would love to know where to download music online for pennies. Very often, we would really like to get a particular song but simply do not want to buy the whole CD or download the entire album. Some of us may even feel that the online music sites are simply charging too much for us to download music online. If you can identify with one of these scenarios, then this article would open your eyes to a whole new way to download music online and not only that, but do so cheaply.

The Hibernauts, Ideal Free Distribution and Museum Mutters: Saturday Night Special, with bonus Apples in Stereo sighting
[edited with an added paragraph, noon Sunday] I first suspected that the Hibernauts’ CD release show at Off Broadway was packed as I was driving up Lemp, and saw that the parked cars stretched nearly bumper-to-bumper to the Lemp Neighborhood Arts Center — which is a solid three or four blocks away. “Nah,” I said to myself

THE DIPLOMATS “Push It” Dirty Version (TV-MA)

www.NGTV.com
Hailing from East Harlem, The Diplomats, comprised of Cam’ron, Jim Jones, Freekey Zeekey, Juelz Santana, J.R. Writer, Hell Rell, 40 Cal, and Jha Jha ? clearly remain on the fore-front of New York City’s hip hop scene. Beyond their commercial albums, Dip Set also rules the streets with their immensely popular mix-tapes. With this follow up to their debut album, Cam’ron and company unleash a flurry of new street anthems including mix-tape favorite “Push It”.
Although the masterminds behind this musical revolution are all natives of Harlem, Manhattan, the newly added members cover many realms of hip-hop genres. The first lady of the Diplomats, Jha Jha, a Miami native, is the feline amongst this K-9 unit. Although Jha Jha’s flow stems from southern influence she is no stranger to what the streets in other cities like New York, Chicago and Detroit want to rock to. Being the only female of the Diplomats is a challenge that Jha Jha takes on full force with the grace of a lady and lyrics of a fierce leader. “I bring a little sexy twist to the Diplomats” says Jha Jha.
While the Bronx native, JR Writer’s, one-on-one demeanor is quit introverted, his on-camera and stage presence resemble nothing of the same. JR Writer’s flow quickly grabs the attention of any listener and his cleaver lyrics exude a sort of surprising confidence. He has made appearances on underground mixtapes with the Diplomats on songs like “Shake” with Cam’ron but this time around he gets an entire track to confirm his ill lyrical skills. His tracks on the Diplomats second LP Diplomatic Immunity 2 gives the spotlight to JR Writer as he secures his spot as a member of the Diplomats with the poise of a first-round draft pick. JR Writer brings a strong, silent-type, personality to the Diplomats, which leaves plenty of room for true lyrical maximizing.
Hell Rell has a little more experience with the Diplomats then the other member’s do. He was down when the Diplomats first started. Now after doing a bid or two, Hell Rell is ready to expose his lyrical expertise and streetwise antics. Although the streets taught Hell Rell the in’s and out’s of making money he has transferred that energy from the concrete to the recording studio. Hell Rell explains what he brings to the Diplomats, “…you know I’m from the bottom so I’m bringing that bottom music back to the game”.
The Diplomats have become an unstoppable movement in hip-hop music. Although their grandstand approach is often overshadowed by their “underdog” status, the Diplomats know what style of music they want to release. The Diplomat soldiers’ pasts combined with their futures make the ingredients needed to cook up hard-core beats with lethal lyrics and everyone is eating it up.

Invitations

Here’s one of the cutest 1st birthday party ideas for teddy bear invitations. Dress your baby up in a baby bear costume. Take their photo, print it out and add something like: “A “beary” special baby Michael is turning 1. Please join us for some birthday fun!” You could even ask everyone to bring their favourite teddy bear to the party.

Another idea is to cut card stock into teddy bear shapes and put pink ribbon for a bow on the top of the teddy bear’s head for a girl’s invitation, and a blue ribbon around the teddy bear’s neck for a boy’s invitation. You can get creative and remember to keep an invitation for the scrapbook. Your child will be too young to remember the party, but later in life will really enjoy looking back.

Decorations

Here are some great teddy bear 1st birthday party ideas for decorations:

Put out lots of stuffed teddy bears around the party area (you could also use them as table centerpieces). Draw on poster board and colored papers a bunch of paw prints and put them all around the house. If you have a sidewalk leading to the house, use colored chalk to draw more paw prints a few steps before the front door.
