<p>MOMENTUM. MURPHY'S IS A NATURAL PRODUCTS COMPANY THAT FOCUSES ON PRODUCTS FOR OUTDOOR LIVING. AND MOST SPECIFICALLY IT FOCUSES ON ALL NATURAL PLANT BASE MOSQUITO PRODUCTS. MY WIFE WOULD GO ON THE BACK PATIO AND GET TEN BITES TO MY ONE. I LOOKED ON THE MARKET TO FIND A PRODUCT THAT WAS NATURAL AND EFFECTIVE AND IT WAS A STRUGGLE. I THOUGHT GOODNESS, GRACENESS THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY. HERE IS SOMETHING THAT IS MISSING IN THE MARKET AND HERE IS A PROBLEM AND LET'S SOLVE IT. THE BRAND ORIGINATES IN OUR GARAGE IN NORTH RALEIGH AND NAMED AFTER OUR OLD DOG MURPHY THAT PASSED AWAY SHORTLY AFTER WE LAUNCHED THE BRAND. WE DON'T HAVE PRODUCTS THAT CONTAIN PETROLEUM AND CHEMICALS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. EVERYTHING IS WE USE IS NATURAL LIKE OUR INCENSE STICKS AND THE BAMBOO SAWDUST AND WE INFUSE IT WITH A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF ESSENTIAL OILS. WHEN YOU TAKE A COMBINATION OF DIFFERENT OILS AND PUT THEM IN A HIGH CONCENTRATING TOGETHER EACH ONE OF THEM IMPACTS THE MOSQUITOES DIFFERENTLY SO WE HAVE ARE A BLEND OF THEM TOGETHER SO WE HAVE A BROADER SPECTRUM OF COVERAGE AND PRODUCTS LIKE LEMON EUCALYPTUS AND A BALM FORM LIKE A DEODORANT STICK SO IT IS EASY TO APPLY AND CERAMIC CANDLES AND TEA LIGHTS AND A NICE VARIETY FOR PEOPLE TO CHOOSE FROM. PEOPLE OFTEN ASK THE QUESTIONS DOES IT WORK AND I ALWAYS SAY YES, BUT TRY IT AND SEE YOURSELF AND THE FEEDBACK IS USUALLY IT REALLY DOES WORK AND PEOPLE ARE SHOCKED THAT A NATURAL PRODUCT CAN WORK THAT WELL. ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT WE GET FEEDBACK ON IS HOW NICE IT SMELLS. WE SELECTED PRODUCTS THAT WERE EXTREMELY GOOD FOR REPELLENTS BUT WE SELECTED THEM SO THEY WOULD SMELL NICE. OUR MISSION STATEMENT IS SIMPLE, TO CELEBRATE NATURE AND INSPIRE GOOD THROUGH QUALITY NATURAL PRODUCTS. CONSUMERS ARE MORE CONSCIENTIOUS ABOUT PRODUCTS THEY ARE USING AND THAT IS TREND THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING AND IT IS GAINING MOMENTUM AND GAINING ATTENTION TO TYPES OF COMPANIES THAT THERE ARE AND MURPHY'S IS CERTIFIED CORPORATION THAT IS A COMPANY BASED OFF OF THREE PREMISES. AND THAT IS PEOPLE, PLANET AND PROFIT. SO HAS BEEN THE BOTTOM LINE THAT EVERYTHING IS JUDGED OFF OF. THIS IS MORE. THIS IS ABOUT THE PEOPLE. THE PEOPLE WITHIN YOUR ORGANIZATION AND THE PEOPLE WITHIN YOUR COMMUNITY AND THE PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD QUITE FRANKLY. ALL OF THE COMMUNITIES THAT YOU ARE A PART OF AND ABOUT THE PLANET AND ENVIRONMENT AND ARE YOU A GOOD STEWARD OF THE ENVIRONMENT AND DO YOU SOURCE YOUR PRODUCTS RESPONSIBLY AND DO YOU PACKAGE RESPONSIBLY, WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR RAW MATERIALS FROM? IT IS HAVING TRACEABILITY OF THOSE DIFFERENT THINGS. IT IS NOT JUST WHAT YOU SAY BUT IT IS WHAT YOU DO AND WHAT THAT DOES IS IT ATTRACTS PEOPLE WHO ARE OF A KINDRED SPIRIT AND PASSIONATE ABOUT IT AND IT MAKES ME ONE OF THE LUCKIEST BOSSES THAT THERE IS OUT THERE BECAUSE I HAVE ATTRACTED SUCH GREAT PEOPLE AND EMPLOYEES THAT ARE A JOY TO WORK WITH. OF COURSE YOU CAN GO TO OUR WEBSITE THAT IS MURPHY'S NATURAL.COM AND FIND OUR PRODUCTS THERE. WE REALLY ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO GO TO OUR WEBSITE AND TO OUR STORE LOCATOR AND PUT IN THAT ZIP CODE TO FIND A RETAILER THAT IS NEAR THEM. YOU WILL FIND US IN LARGER RETAILERS LIKE TARGETS AND WEGMANS AND THERE ARE GARDEN CENTERS AND GIFT SHOPS AND HARDWARE STORES THAT MAY BE RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER FROM FOLKS. WE ENCOURAGE THEM TO GO TO OUR WEBSITE AND FIND SOMEONE LOCAL.</p>

I'm meteorologist K Campbell in the wr severe weather center. Here's your weekend forecast looks pretty good. On Saturday, there is a small chance for rain. That would be first thing very early in the morning in our northern counties. The rest of the day looks pretty good, partly cloudy, mid to perhaps upper seventies. By Sunday, it's much cooler. Highs struggle to get into the sixties even. It's a cloudy day and we've got some scattered showers in the forecast Sunday, but we're on the stable side of the front. So we're not severe weather on Sunday and we really could use some rain. We'll get to that in a minute. Let's talk about your Saturday planner because that's going to be the day to be outside 63 at 8 a.m. by noon, 71 and will be in the mid to upper seventies during the afternoon. Still in the low to mid seventies by dinner time. Future cash shows pretty quiet, start to the day. Perhaps a few showers in our northern counties and cloud cover to start, but those clouds clear and we'll see more sunshine later on before we cloud back overnight into Sunday morning. Scattered showers are possible throughout the first part of the day, Sunday and then we'll see a band of steadier rain make its way in as we head into Sunday evening and perhaps Sunday night as well. Early on, we need any rain, we can get the drought monitor showing an expanded region for abnormally dry and yellow. That's the morning stage before you reach drought status. So we really need some rain to prevent drought from developing as we head into the month of May. The system that's bringing our rain chances for your Friday night is this area of low pressure along with a cold front draped to the south. That cold front is going to knock temperatures down as well. We're down to 46 degrees on Monday morning, 44 we had to lower the low Tuesday morning because there's not likely to be as much cloud cover and that's going to allow temperatures to fall even further. But for the weekend morning will wake up to temperatures near 60 Saturday morning and in the lower fifties again on Sunday morning. If you are running the Tar Heel 10 miler, we got some pretty nice weather for it. A 20% chance for rain for early on. Otherwise temperatures will be in the low to mid 60 s. Looks like some pretty good running weather for us. Looking ahead to next week, we're still on the cooler side start 66. But Monday trending more sunshine And then as we get into Tuesday, Wednesday, we're likely to be back in the seventies, Wednesday. We've got a cold front coming the way it looks now. Only a small 20% chance for rain with the front, but it is going to knock temperatures down again. Not as dramatic but low temperatures could be back in the upper forties with highs in the upper sixties to lower seventies toward the end of next week.
