(2007) Owners Alan & Pete demonstrating the Aero Garden System. You can grow fresh basil & tomatoes in your own home with this very low maintenance system. Sounds right up my alley seeing as how I have managed to kill any tomato plant I've tried to grow outdoors. I bought mine 2/4/08. I set it up in less than 10 minutes. Plants started sprouting in 4-5 days. Once they bloom, I will have cherry tomatos for 6 months.

. Heart disease is the #1 killer of women – one in 2.5 will die from this deadly disease, but only 13% of American women feel it’s THEIR greatest health risk.

. Nearly 2,500 Americans die everyday of CVD. That’s about one death every 35 seconds.

. According to the Centers for Disease Control and the National Center for Health Statistics, if all forms of major CVD were eliminated life expectancy would rise by almost seven years.

. A-myo-trophic comes from the Greek language. "A" means no or negative. "Myo" refers to muscle, and "Trophic" means nourishment---"No muscle nourishment." When a muscle has no nourishment, it "atrophies" or wastes away. "Lateral" identifies the areas in a person's spinal cord where portions of the nerve cells that signal and control the muscles are located. As this area degenerates it leads to scarring or hardening ("sclerosis") in the region.

Approximately 5,600 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with ALS each year. The incidence of ALS (two per 100,000 people) is five times higher than Huntington's disease and about equal to multiple sclerosis. It is estimated that as many as 30,000 Americans may have the disease at any given time.

SPECIAL NOTE: Please contribute to this organization. My good friend and videographer/editor for "Small Town Stories (see above link) passed away in 2006 after she was diagnosed with a motor neuron disease listed under the ALS umbrella. Right now, there is no cure.
