www.LifeSourceWater.com Athletic Director of Oaks Christian High School, Jan Hethcock, shares his experience of owning a LifeSource Water System for his home. His satisfaction with LifeSource at home led to the installation of a LifeSource Water System in the Athletic Department of Oaks Christian High School. In this video, Hethcock talks about the many benefits of owning a LifeSource Water System. Along with having great tasting clean water, LifeSource Water is gentle and helps fixtures last longer before replacing. After dealing with unsightly tap water for years, Hethcock shared with Oaks Christian High School how a LifeSource Water System would not only provide clean drinking water for their Athletic Department, but also helps prevent erosion of fixtures. Consuming thousands of gallons of water throughout over 700 athletic events a year, Oaks Christian High School now enjoys crystal clear, odorless, clean water without spending thousands of dollars for bottled water.

Saaraketha, meaning “bountiful field”; is an organization that intends to deliver the promise symbolized by its name. A Sri Lankan owned, organically certified company specializing in Agro Forestry; Saaraketha was established in 2008 under the 300 Factories Programme of the Government of Sri Lanka, following registration with the Board of Investment (BOI) Currently agriculture stands as a relic of past times, as a part of the vibrant history of the country where it was a main occupation; an occupation that was filled with pride. Our ultimate objective is to recreate the prosperity of the past centuries by transforming the agricultural landscape of rural Sri Lanka into one that is economically viable, socially responsible and environmentally sustainable; to instill a sense of dignity and respect among the farmers of Sri Lanka, providing them with direct links to the global market and equipping them with the tools necessary to compete in it. The organic fields of Saaraketha are located in the picturesque village of Wilgamuwa in the Matale District, bordering the Mahaweli river, where it supports many poor farmers to defy the odds of their circumstances. The scenic nature of the village hides the various hardships that compound an already difficult life for the community of Wilgamuwa where attacks from wild elephants pose a very real threat to both life and livelihoods, scarcity of clean drinking water, lack of access to basic health & education, and crippling cycle of

alkaline water

This alkaline water guy showed up at my Army Reserve unit and spouted his bullshit to a captive audience for half an hour. Captive audience is no exaggeration. This was a mandatory “briefing” and we had no choice but to sit there and listen to it. A little background: This video was shot at my US Army Reserve unit’s annual Christmas party. Normally, the morning is spent getting mandatory briefings on security policies, safety, suicide prevention, and financial responsibility. The afternoon is reserved for a holiday party for soldiers and their families. This year, our training schedule said there would be a briefing from WaterForLife, which is a charity that supplies clean drinking water to third world nations. Our unit, until a few years ago, handled water purification. What we got was a sales pitch from a guy from Kangen Water, which sells its alkaline water machines through waterforlifestore.com. After the presentation, I grilled the guy about the supposed health benefits of the water, and the possible negative side effects of drinking the stuff. I really wish I had recorded that part, because I made the guy look like a total ass. I would have continued to embarrass the guy, but one of our senior NCO’s jumped in and asked if I had ever tried the water. I told him that I had not, but that I also didn’t have to visit the moon to know it’s not made out of cheese. Science had already solved that one. I later learned that the NCO and our family readiness group director, who
