...investing - we all knew it was a risk, we were told to make sure we were diversified, blah-blah - but, my God, it had been going strong for so long and with such fantastic returns, we had to get in. The Securities and Exchange Commission even gave Madoff a clean bill of health several years ago, we now find out. Well, maybe not a clean bill, but it didn't shut him down either. In the topsy-turvy world of investment, we were quietly, richly safe. Until the call. (See the top 10 worst business deals...
...These centers provide addicts with their own equipment and clean needles, along with psychiatrists and social workers to uncover the underlying reason for the substance abuse and to establish whether or not the addicts will be able to maintain a regular job.

...like Ocean Blue and Orange Sunset. Like the Sigg and the Camelbak, the Kanteen fits easily into a car's beverage holder (the 32-ounce Nalgene Tritan was too wide, but Nalgene does make narrower bottles). Klean Kanteens are made in China by an American company, are easy to clean and because they're stainless steel inside and out, flavors do not linger after washing. Like the Sigg, the Kanteen can accommodate warm liquids but heat will transfer to the outside. If you are lost in the wild (and know how to start a fire) you can even boil water...
