¡Hola familia y amigos!
They fumigated all of Fundeci (the apartment complex we live in) this week, which means our house is basically just a graveyard for cockroaches. I wonder how many times I've used the word "cockroach" in my emails. Far too many. Someone should count and tell me.
Today was one of those picturesque days that you wish you could just live in forever. We spent the day waking up (still at 5:30, shoot me now), studying, and then taking a glorious cat nap. Following that, we went for Papaya milkshakes in front of the Merced (one of the four beautiful churches marking the Central of Leon), and then to the Mexicanita to enjoy some rather delicious quesadillas. And then we were able to climb onto the newly painted part of the Cathedral of Leon with our good friend Nicole, and had fun running on top of the snow white domes and getting the soles of our bare feet covered in chalky paint and soaking up the sun (pictures to come soon).
They didn't even charge me three times more for the price of one ticket to climb up this time, because I have my Cedula and am officially a Nica for the next year. Ha. I wish you could have seen the look of frustration on the woman's face when she realized she couldn't gyp me again. We found out later that there was apparently a level 5 earthquake while we were standing on the tippy top, too, but we didn't feel anything. I guess if I had to choose a way to die falling off of a Cathedral would be pretty cool. Didn't die, though. I'm more likely to die from an overdose of rice.

I guess if I had to choose a way to die falling off of a Cathedral would be pretty cool. Didn't die, though. I'm more likely to die from an overdose of rice.
Anyway, not a whole lot to report this week, other than the fact that I think I was legitimately depressed this Sunday. We had two huge conferences for all of the stakes of Leon, and the chance to invite families for Saturday and Sunday to be able to baptized before the end of this change. My hopes were so high. Maybe too high, honestly, and we had more than seven families who promised that they would go. And you know what's heartbreaking? When you really, truly believe and expect something to happen, and then it doesn't. Every other companionship in the Zone brought at least one family to the conference, and as I'm sure you've guessed by now, we brought no one. No one. Not even one single person would come with us. Saturday was hard enough, waiting for them to show up and then realizing they wouldn't, and Sunday was just...the worst. New lowest point of my mission right there. We passed by for more than 10 different families, and one by one were told that "something had come up," or they weren't home, or "I have to make soup," or what have you (three of the excuses were "I have to make soup," for some reason, haha. Who even wants to eat soup when it's more than 100 degrees outside??). We passed by for some of them twice. First to wake up them up and have them confirm that they were going, and then later to find out that they had then no intention of going whatsoever. By the end of the morning and realizing that we wouldn't even be able to bring anyone, after having practically begged some people, I lost it. I felt so...deceived. We had one last family who said they would come, and they didn't come, either.
I think more than anything it made me appreciate even more fully the Atonement of Christ, and how He has descended even lower than our lowest of moments. Although it wasn't exactly ideal, I'm weirdly grateful for how I felt yesterday. I feel like I was permitted to understand just a little bit more of how He feels, when he hopes and expects us to do certain things or be a certain way and then we don't or aren't, because let's be honest, we've all had moments in life when we go a different path and decide to make soup. I know in our lowest moments He's there, and sitting alone with Hna. Gonzales in the conference room surrounded by empty chairs that we were pointlessly saving, I know that He was conscious of the desires of our hearts and how we were feeling. Sometimes He loves us enough to let us understand and rely on Him just a little bit more than we were before . . . because honestly, without Him, I know that I can do nothing.
It was a low day, and I think I easily could have resigned myself to just staying low in my thoughts for the rest of the night, but . . . I'm on a mission, and, unfortunately, "wallowing in self pity" is not on the list of things we're permitted to do. So, we set out to work. And I can now say that I have a testimony of the scripture in Ether 12:6, that says " . . . . I would show unto the world that faith is things which are hoped for and not seen; wherefore, dispute not because ye see not, for ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith." That night we were able to find two new very positive families, one of which accepted a baptismal date after only talking with them for five minutes in the street. I don't know what will happen this Sunday, but I'm hopeful. I'm living in the trial of my faith, but things are looking up. I'm just trying more than ever to forget myself and go to work. Matthew 16:25, "For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it." I'm in the finding process. It isn't easy, but I know that I'm being blessed 100 times more than any "sacrifice" I might be undergoing. The same goes for all of you. Those moments we're trying to do good even when all of the elements are against us are the moments we're walking shoulder to shoulder with the greatest and most perfect missionary there ever was, and I don't mean me (haha). I cannot ever work hard enough to express the love I have for my Savior.
A few days ago I was thinking a lot about my suitcase, and how I've been living out of it for almost a year now . . . which led me to think about traveling in general and how great and terrible it is at the same time. The interesting thing about traveling is that you come to a new place expecting to see/experience new things and take them away..but what I'm finding is that rather than taking away, I've been leaving behind. I can never be this girl again. This tanned, sweaty, happy missionary girl, weaving her way from house to house in the dusty, sunny streets of Nicaragua. I can't be in Germany, brushing my hand against the Neuschwanstein Castle for the first time (literally a dream come true), or lost in a quiet wood in the Forest of Dean in England, or tromping through the mud in rainy Scotland. I can't be the little girl hiding in her closet reading books into the late hours of the night, or sneaking out onto the trampoline to talk late into the morning hours with a close friend. I can't be the girl laying on the floor laughing with her friends in a college dorm, procrastinating 12 page papers and going on 7-11 slurpee runs. I can't be that same girl, and I am her, too. It's a divide that's hard to reconcile.
What do you do, when you have to leave a place or time that you truly loved? You just have to move on like nothing happened, mentioning it on occasion, when the truth is that everything happened. You being you happened. But you can never quite explain it nor can you hide it or change it . . . you just leave it behind and carry the parts you can with you locked in memories and imagery and feelings in your heart, always with the half-secret hushed desire/expectation of coming back and reliving it someday, while simultaneously accepting that doing so would be impossible. You're different, the place is different . . . roads once familiar take on an alien feel..and you're left with no other choice but to revel for a moment in that fleeting, comforting feeling of finding something lost, and then intentionally losing again. Traveling is about losing just as much as it is finding.
Changes are in two weeks, and I must admit I've lost my psychic powers. I have no idea what's going to happen anymore. There's a rumor that I'll be staying here with Gonzales for another transfer (which would make sense . . . isn't it always that when you get along super well with a companion you're never with them long enough, and when it's more of a struggle it's longer?), and I don't know what to think about it. I'm going to pack up my suitcase, spend a final day with Rosita and Roger and Nicole and Hermana Johana and Nady and Luis and Iris and the accruing number of people I know and love, and then I'll say goodbye to them. Knowing full well that I will probably never be a missionary in Leon with them ever again.
Jacob 7:26: ". . .the time passed away with us, and also our lives passed away like as it were unto us a dream. . ." This week passed by so quickly I couldn't even believe it . . . and sometimes I feel like my entire life is just passing by so quickly I can't even believe it. Isn't there some sort of pause button somewhere?? Geeze. I can't seem to catch up! Most of the time I'm just really grateful that my thoughts are not God's thoughts, because if they were, the world would stop functioning, haha.
I wish I had something hilarious to tell you, but I must admit I'm just feeling kinda...drained. Happy, but tired. Heading to Managua for a Training meeting tomorrow so we'll be waking up at 4:30..oh joy.
Love you all! The Church is true,
<3 Hna. Behan

I'm sold, but what if my teen isn't?
By Amanda Hage, SSI Administrative Assistant
You have probably heard enough amazing things about MN Student Statesmanship Institute that you are convinced your high school student should attend the program this summer. But what if, like Grace, your teenager has a different opinion?
"Terrified, I was absolutely terrified. It had been a good idea in March, but now that I was face to face with the dorms and people milling about with suitcases in hand, apprehension overwhelmed me. Begging my mother to drive me back home, I clung to the seat of the car. I was absolutely afraid of going to this camp! I was afraid of SSI!" – Grace, 2016 Alumnus
Does that kind of scenario sound familiar? At some point, everyone fears the unknown. Foreign ground is never comfortable, even if it fuels growth. Usually, it takes someone else to push us toward the dreaded new thing. Sometimes it takes a good swift kick. But once the pain is over, we're glad someone forced us to face our fear.
"After SSI, I had new-found motivation; while I still struggle with the terrible habit of procrastination, I remember the sense of accomplishment I savored at the end of that stretching, wonderful week. Diligence as a lifestyle is something I choose to pursue into my adult life. Looking back, it seems quite humorous how frightened I was of something that was so good for me." – Grace
On the other hand, maybe your high school student is not scared of trying a week-long summer program. Instead, maybe he or she is set on only having fun and thinks a leadership program sounds boring! They might be able to relate to Shaohannah…
"My parents signed me up for 'government camp' and I was none too pleased. (After all, who wants to go to government camp for a week anyway?!)" – Shaohannah, 2016 Alumnus
Summer is the season for kicking back and having fun, right? In contrast, "government camp" may sound like all work and no fun. But Shaohannah learned SSI is so much more than that.
"I had SO MUCH FUN! After SSI, I was begging my parents to let me come back next year!! SSI wasn't just a boring 'government camp'. I learned more about how government works at SSI than in a whole year of civics. The feats of strength, the caucus meetings, worldview speakers, worship, everything was awesome! I was refreshed in my spiritual walk and challenged to learn more about government. I can't wait for next year!!!" – Shaohannah
Pushed to do what they would not have done on their own, both Grace and Shaohannah reached a change of mind. In fact, they are returning for SSI 2017! What Grace and Shaohannah experienced is an important part of becoming a leader: learning to step up even when something looks frightening or hard.
To those who are on the fence about coming this summer, Shaohannah gives this assurance:
"You don't walk away from SSI empty. Besides the Biblical worldview training and the hands-on legislative teaching, SSI is an amazing camp to just fellowship with like-minded students and staff. [Students] share struggles, eat together, and dump water on one another . . .! SSI-ers walk away empowered to serve God and counter the culture!" – Shaoannah
So if your student is hesitant, help them take the first step. The first step, after all, usually proves the hardest! Share Grace and Shaohannah's stories with them as an example that new friends can turn this experience into a thrilling one.

I have been avoiding writing this article for quite some time, but it just won't go away. These things we avoid rarely just fade away into the sunset leaving nothing but a contented glow. They so often just sit there, niggling away at us, and are a huge source of stress and tension.
Why do we avoid something? There are two key reasons:
1. We don't value it.
If we're putting something off because there isn't any value to it – no use or benefit to us or to others – then that's fine. I believe that whatever we do should add value either to ourselves, or to someone else, from the mundane ticking an item off your checklist to the more noble selfless acts designed to improve someone else's day.
2. We fear it.
What's more relevant in a work sense though, is we fear an action, so subsequently we avoid it.
Why do we fear something or even someone? Our number one fear is failure. We fear we may fail to meet or exceed the expectations of our family, friends and colleagues and also ourselves. No one wants to bruise their self-esteem or even risk their sense of security. If a situation feels threatening in any way and we don't believe we have the fire power to defend ourselves against the threat, then many of us will avoid it rather than tackle it. We all have a comfort zone into which we can retreat at the first sign of danger. From our comfort zone we can create all sorts of weird and wonderful ideas to provide validation for our avoidance, including what lies beyond and in the dark unknown . Very often we have an exaggerated or baseless perception of the magnitude of a threat.
People who avoid challenges, threats, confrontation, difficult and complex tasks and relationships are often overwhelmed. They can
- be indecisive
- struggle with relationships
- be unable to share their feelings openly and honestly
- struggle to follow their intuition
- tend toward reclusive behaviours
- suffer from guilt
- fear failure; and, underpinning all this
- doubt themselves.
For leaders, these are tough burdens indeed. It is very difficult to lead when you're struggling to take a step forward yourself. So it's critical you address these challenges head on – DON'T AVOID THEM.
"Doubting themselves and their instincts
Those who doubt themselves, lack trust in their own gut or instincts, or second-guess themselves continually find themselves far from where they want to be. Successful professionals believe in themselves without fail. Sure, they acknowledge they have "power gaps" or blind spots, and areas that need deep development. But they forgive themselves for what they don't know and the mistakes they've made, and accept themselves. They keep going with hope and optimism, knowing that the lessons from these missteps will serve them well in the future."[i]
Now, it's time to stick your neck out
I love this analogy. The turtle never goes anywhere until he sticks his neck out. The turtle is a great analogy for an avoider. At the slightest sign of danger he retreats into his impenetrable fortress where he is safe and sound. I must say, in fairness, it is probably wise for a turtle. But he never makes progress until he sticks his neck out and takes a chance. The same applies for you.
Now to tackle the issues head first
Out with the mirror
As with all behavioural change, self-awareness is the first step. If you're not aware that you have an opportunity to change for the better, then what are you going to work on? Taking a good hard look at your behaviour is always step one. It doesn't necessarily follow that there is a problem, or even an opportunity, but you won't know until you check it out.
A little reflection
This section has a few instructions for you. Bear with me.
Ask yourself, "What is something I have been avoiding?" Now write down the reason for avoiding it, straight off the top of your head – don't think about it too much. Look at what you've written. Is that the real reason, or is it just a convenient excuse? Is it the old "I have been too busy this week, I just have to get that other critical thing done first" excuse?
Now stop and stare out the window and think about the feelings associated with that action. When you imagine yourself doing what it is you're avoiding, how does that make you feel? Nervous, apprehensive, angry, disappointed?
Here's the confronting part: Ask yourself, what's the worst that can happen (really), then consider the likelihood that that will happen. What has been the outcome of your previous experiences?
And now think about how you would feel if you tackled the issue and there was a satisfactory or even good outcome
What am I saying, to myself that is?
Be conscious of your self-talk. Turn "if I" into "when I", "I never" into "I always", "I could" into "I can" and "It was my fault" into "I couldn't control the outcome". Optimism is incredibly important when breaking the avoidance cycle. Here's some great advice from Martin Seligman, Author of Learned Optimism.
"To dispute your own beliefs, scan for all contributing causes. Focus on the changeable (not enough time spent studying), the specific (this particular exam was uncharacteristically hard) and the non-personal (the professor graded unfairly) causes. You may have to push hard at generating alternative beliefs, latching onto possibilities you are not fully convinced are true. Remember that much of pessimistic thinking consists in the reverse, latching onto the most dire possible belief, not because the evidence supports it, but precisely because it is so dire. Your job is to undo this destructive habit by becoming skilled at generating alternatives." (Seligman, M Pg 222)[ii]
Set yourself up for a win
Look at your To Do list, particularly where in secret code it's become your To Avoid list. Start with the less challenging of those tasks, take them on, complete them and celebrate your success. Pop open a bottle of sparkly in your head each time one of them hits the dust. Pretty soon you'll get to enjoy the buzz of confronting and completing challenges.
Do it now
Set yourself a goal to face a challenge as it arises and not to defer it. Check your motivations honestly. Why are you putting off the confrontation? Will it be better or worse, easier or harder when you do bite the bullet and address it?
They just irritate me
Say hello to that person that gets under your skin. Smile at them, make a joke. Who knows, they may turn out to be human. If you're lucky they'll have more insecurities than you.
I hope will write your comments below and not avoid it because it's all too hard, or you don't have time, or your too self conscious.

|[Vote] Repository Usage and Versioning
|Fri, 23 Apr 2004 09:03:36 GMT
Rethinking our version structure and moving to subversion seems to indicate that we should rethink our repository usage. I think we should use one repository per major version, so one repository for all 2.x versions (except 2.0.x versions that we leave the way it is). Then one repository for testing new stuff, like the new block system - this will be the sandbox or scratchpad repository. And finally - as we already have - the site repository. As recently reported we already have incompatible changes from 2.1.4 to 2.1.5 (which we accepted to have!) and as I pointed out lately I want to remove some deprecated stuff to continue the development of the current version. And we have some major changes, like the Cocoon forms that justify a minor version changes anyway. So, I think, we should: - tag the current cvs in order to create a branch if required - change the version to 2.2, so this will be our next release - try to follow the versioning guide (which is a work-in-progress) - move to subversion whenever we want - if the need for a 2.1.5 release arises we create a branch, revert the incompatible changes and use the branch This allows us to continue the development of Cocoon in any direction without worrying about versions and how this fits into the development of blocks. Blocks (and perpaps other features) can be developed independently in a sandbox/scratchpad and when they are mature enough can be moved in the main trunk. This can then result in a new major or a new minor version. We can decide this when the time comes. Carsten Carsten Ziegeler Open Source Group, S&N AG http://www.osoco.net/weblogs/rael/

A book review by Suki Wessling
Mules of Love. Ellen Bass. BOA Editions, 2002. 90 pages. $13.95.
There's something about Ellen Bass's latest book of poems, Mules of Love, that makes you glad she's not writing about you. If she did, what would she see? Her friendly neighbor's yellowed teeth like the crazed / enamel of an old vase. The plumber's face adorned with eyes the amber of cellos... / the tiny garnet / threads of capillaries. The obese man next to her on the plane, who can barely buckle his seatbelt, yet doesn't have to ask for an extender / for which I imagine him grateful.
On the other hand, perhaps we all should receive a poem from Ms. Bass, who writes of her lover, and like pulling a fat shining trout from the river / she pulled the river out of me. That's / the way I want to know God. Who dedicates gorgeous poems to her children. Who considers how she could have stopped the suicide of a man she once had casual sex with. Who writes a poem for sufferers of insomnia everywhere, awake all together, linking hands / around the world. Who seems able to see everyone---the bus driver mumbling through ill-fitting teeth, / the grocery store clerk with tufts of hair sprouting from his ears---making love.
These poems, as Billy Collins is quoted in one poem, are mighty strong poems, carrying details from the grotesque to the sublime with equal care and love. In the opening piece, Bass describes poems as the portals through which we enter our lives. In this case, the portal is through the earth, grounded and real. This is not a book for those who don't want to see beauty in the ugliest of details: Here she talks a potential suicide down from a ledge. There she compares her own vulva---as she later does a penis---to an eager dog. She reminds us that we, the imperfect and downright ugly, can have sex. And that sex allows us to forgive each other those imperfections that she illuminates---and caresses and dresses up---in her poems. And Bass doesn't shirk from portraying the more complex aspects of love and sexuality: how she after seventeen years of a lesbian relationship still occasionally misses a penis, that nice thick flesh that hardens / to just the right consistency. How she worries about the future, regrets the past. Her guilt is indelible, her troubles familiar / as the peeling paint in the back / hallway.
Bass writes poems about people. These are poems that contemplate the larger questions of life only as products of the smallest details: the beauty of a flower comes from its resemblance to an asshole; contemplating the G-spot leads to God; a mundane argument between lovers is matched to the extinction of tigers; a foot massage paves the way for the tranquillity to read Hawking's patient discussion / about whether the universe is expanding, / contracting, or staying the same. The scale of this work is small; from it we look up to see the immensity of our lives and our universe. Worrying about us like a mother, Bass, through her minutiae, writes to remind us that love will save us.
Then you hold life like a face

This is a comprehensive view of the Jewish settlers in the West Bank. The Settlers provides a historical overview, a geopolitical study and an intimate look at those people at the core of the most daunting challenges facing Israel and the international community today.
Settlers cannot be divided into categories. Some are living in the West Bank because the real estate prices are cheap, some for religious reasons, and some for no particular religious or ideological purpose.
And so the question remains: What is a settler?

It's not quite as swanky as the Pizza Hut iPhone app in the US, or even as easy as Domino's pizza by text service, but Papa John's has announced a version of its site optimised for mobile phones.
With around 10% of online orders coming from mobile phones - despite this being via the full-fat site - Papa John's has now caught up and those visiting www.papajohns.co.uk from a mobile will automatically go to the simplified site.
Mobile phone users will be able to access full menus, pizza customisation and repeat orders, while the nearest store will automatically be suggested.
"This makes the mobile ordering site ideal for people who are in locations where it is hard to talk or they would prefer not to speak on the phone, whether it's on the way home on a bus or train, or in the pub", says Papa John's.

You've Got Questions, Here's Some Answers
- Why hitch my organization's wagon to the Supporters Union train?
- Supporters Union's goal is to support Austin soccer supporters and soccer culture. When your organization is part of Supporters Union, you have a greater voice in growing the soccer community and you help unify the Austin market. This is critical when it comes to issues like a bringing a professional soccer team to Austin, building a soccer-specific stadium, and attracting events like international friendlies.
Being part of a collaborative community also helps everyone involved pool
resources and share information.
- Why is that SG having such great memberhip growth?
- Where'd that pub get those great new promotional t-shirts?
- How do you make a stadium-compliant flag pole?
Every organization will have their contact person invited to be a part of our Supporters Union Supporter Leadership Council. This committee will help collaborate, coordinate, and execute initiatives to move the Austin soccer market forward. These include:
- Charity events
- Pep rallies
- Pub crawls
- Advocacy: Making sure supporters are heard and represented by stakeholders such as local government and soccer club (or potential club) owners
- Group/Bulk purchases of supplies like tifo materials, membership kits, and promotional materials
- Any other issues that matter to the supporters community
- My organization already has a web page, Twitter account, etc. Why get listed here?
- We can better promote your organization on the site, at events, and on social media.
- It helps make it easier for new fans/supporters/customers to find you.
- SEO. Inbound links from highly-targeted sites like Supporters Union help boost your search rankings with the big-G.
- We're also getting your rival pub, supporters group, soccer club on-board — don't be left out. We're all in this together to make soccer the "other" sport people think of when they think "Austin." Supporters Union is a neutral community to collaborate; match day is when we get to yell and scream at each other for 90 minutes.
- Can this help me attract new members/customers/fans?
- Yes. We aim to be the "SportsCenter for Austin Supporters" or "do512 of soccer." We've already received numerous comments that people enjoy following the Supporters Union site and social accounts because they want to keep up with everything soccer in town but don't want to follow everyone and add additional noise to their feed. Supporters Union posts all the "highlights" to keep everyone up-to-speed. Once a Supporters Union member gets to know you, that creates your great opportunity to win them over.
- My organization is barely online. We basically have a Facebook Page. Can you help?
Yes! Some of the ways Supporters Union can help boost your online presence:
- Your Supporters Union Profile could act as your official webpage; we can even help you point a custom domain to it.
- We welcome articles. Supporters Union provides a place to publish news important to your group and to the Austin soccer community.
- If you're using a number of online resources to manage your community, your Suppporters Union profile helps create a one-stop dashboard for members to quickly access them.
- We're a community. Reach out to other organizations and ask how they're doing the things you'd like to be doing.
- What's it Cost?
- Nothing. We're building a collaborative community run for and by those invested in Austin soccer. Organization membership, like Supporter membership is completely free.
- Okay, we'd love to grow to a point where it makes sense for your organization to contribute deals (*cough*beer specials*cough*) to members, help sponsor events, etc. It also means that we as a community want to provide the right kind of RoI for your group or business.
- Still Not Convinced?
- Reach out to the many organizations who are already part of Supporters Union . See what they think.
- Question not answered?
- Drop us a line.
What are you waiting for? Sign-up today!

Theoretical problems With Alkaline water: The main problem with the concept is that it is impossible to alter the pH of a patient's blood without causing severe health concerns. Mammalian blood contains a vast number of different pH buffers which evolved to automatically raise or lower the blood pH if a deviation occurs. These buffers heep the pH of human blood between 7.35 and 7.45. If the buffers become saturated and the pH of the blood is altered more than +/-0.4 pH, death will result. It is commonly claimed by alkaline diet proponents that cancer cells are killed in an alkaline environment, which is true, but so are almost all other cells in the human body. Proponents will attempt to disregard the above by reminding us that it is possible to alter the pH of urine by eating or drinking particular foods, which is also true, but is completely independent of the blood pH. This is based on the metabolites of certain food chemicals (referred to as "Ash") becoming concentrated in the urine. As a (healthy) bladder is an independent receptacle in the body, the pH of the fluid contained therein also has no effect on the blood pH. A different attempt at disregarding this is the claim that blood pH is balanced not by buffers but by excess acid being dumped from the blood into the cytoplasm of cells, meaning that blood pH won't reveal that your cells are dangerously acidic; needless to say, this is false..
Another clue of the ineffectiveness of an alkaline diet is that whatever food you eat will pass through your stomach. The acidity of the stomach is affected by things such as stress, amount of food eaten, or infections. Eating acidic or alkaline foods has no effect on stomach pH, in much the same way as it has no effect on the pH of blood. More recently, proponents claim that the benefits arise from reducing acid load in the body. It is claimed that when acid load is too high, "alkaline minerals" such as calcium are reclaimed by the body from bones leading to conditions such as osteoporosis. Meta-analysis studies have shown this is not the case. Far from being healthy, alkaline diets could actually be harmful, as they recommend removing certain food groups altogether rather than reducing certain types within the groups. Examples would be removing all fats and oils from the diet which provide Essential Fatty Acids, and dairy products, which are excellent sources of vitamins and minerals, especially vitamin D which is difficult to find in foods outside of dairy products. A further theoretical problem comes from the definition of "acid/alkaline food" used by many proponents of the diet, which is based on burning the food in air and testing the pH of the resulting ashes and remains. The results of this uncontrolled oxidation have only the vaguest resemblance to the by-products created by the actual process of human digestion and respiration, which involves breaking down the food into its consistuent molecules and metabolising them separately.
Some people believe that alkaline water helps our bodies metabolize nutrients and expel toxins more efficiently than regular tap water, leading to better health and performance. Anecdotal evidence supports some of those claims. But so far, we don't have solid data supporting alkaline water's use. Until we learn more, save your money: Stick to tap water and supplement with mineralized water if you like. But what is alkaline water? Alkaline water is water that's less acidic than regular tap water. This means it is rich in alkalizing compounds, including calcium, silica, potassium, magnesium, and bicarbonate. Many people believe that the typical North American diet contributes to chronic low-grade acidosis – a condition that may be associated with poor health outcomes including heart problems, altered hormonal status, and the loss of muscle or bone. Proponents of alkaline water believe that it can neutralize the acid in your bloodstream and help your body metabolize nutrients more effectively, leading to better health and performance. Let's take a closer look at these claims. Most of us know that water is a big deal. In fact, our bodies are largely made of the stuff. No other substance is so important to our physiology or health. No wonder so many of us feel concerned about increased pollutants and contaminants in our tap water. But before we completely dismiss North American tap water, the good news is that it's actually quite safe compared to the water in many other parts of the world. Tap water contains different dissolved elements that influence its pH level. Pure water has a pH level close to 7. Alkaline water has a pH above 7.
122 I used a negative logarithm of the hydrogen concentration to create a scale from 0-14, where a pH of less than 7 is an acid, 7 is neutral, and higher than 7 is an alkali," reads an 2009 announcement from Carlsberg, on the 100th anniversary of the breakthrough. So water has a pH of 7, lemon juice 2.4, and bleach 12.5. The pH of beer is between 4.1. and 4.6 .... Before the pH scale, the only parameter to measure acid levels were vague terms such as 'good,' 'bad,' or 'slightly more than last time.' The innumerable useful applications of the pH (short for "potential of Hydrogen") scale range from foods and beverages to cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and medical diagnostics. Just about every liquid has had its pH measured at some time—including those in our bodies—which, it is very important to note, have more than one pH level. Take the stomach, for instance. It has a pH ranging from 1.35 to 3.5, due to production of hydrocloric acid, which aids in digestion. Blood, on the other hand, must always be slightly alkaline, with a pH of 7.35 to 7.45. The body's buffering systems keep it within that precise range, and excess acid is excreted by the lungs and kidneys. That's part of their job, and they are very, very good at it. The body maintains its pH balance over widely differing diets, and even though what you eat can affect the pH level of your urine, it cannot affect the pH level of your blood. Understand? Good. Now back to
. These electrical devices—which generally cost from $1,000 to almost $6,000 and are often sold by multi-level marketing companies—attach to the kitchen faucet or go under the sink. They strip out contaminants, like other filters, and, besides producing alkaline water for drinking, they also produce acidic water, for cleaning. If you've ever washed windows with a water-and-vinegar mixture, you know acidic water is a good cleansing agent. But the notion that alkaline water can fight or prevent disease? Any chemist will tell you that there is still much to learn about water, but hmmm. Many of the online claims are based on the theory that ionized alkaline water has smaller "clusters" of molecules. According to the Kangen Water website, for instance, "These small clusters make alkaline water Kangen Water more soluble and permeable, allowing you to absorb the important vitamins and nutrients your body needs." And The Alkalizer ("A Wetter Water for a Better Body") maintains that, "The smaller mineral clusters, as measured by the use of a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance device is a more hydrating water than normal tap water. Through electrolysis large tap mineral clusters are reduced from their original size. The smaller cluster size gives the water excellent hydrating properties, high solubility and good permeability."

Black metal
Black metal has proven somewhat difficult to categorize. Some fans and musicians have a firm concept of genre and subgenre, but others reject such categorization as limiting or useless and think of black metal more as an artistic movement than a sub-category of popular music. There is often significant crossover from one category to another, and often the influence of non-metal music is present.

DJ Pebbles: Aussie DJ Smolders In Glossy 'Heart Away From You' Music Video — Watch
DJ Pebbles, a pop DJ and singer hailing from Brisbane, Australia, should definitely be on your radar. Her video for the EDM banger 'Heart Away From You' debuted today, April 26, and HollywoodLife.com has the exclusive premiere. WATCH it right here!
Dj Pebbles is just nineteen, and she's already securing her spot as dance floor mainstay. We're thrilled to be premiering her sultry new music video for "Heart Away From You," and you can watch it above! Then check out our exclusive interview with her below.
DJ Pebbles' 'Heart Away From You' Music Video — PICS
What were your inspirations for this video?
I love acting, so I wanted my new music video to tell more of a story. I drew inspiration from the films Taken and The Bodyguard, Justin Bieber's "What Do You Mean" video. It was meant to symbolize the journey of putting my heart back together after it had been kidnapped (broken).
What's the meaning behind the song?
It's about the recovery from heartbreak, and how it's okay to open up again and let yourself feel something. Not all love has to be painfully deep. It can also be lighthearted and fun!
Is this what you've always wanted to do? How old were you when you got started?
I have always loved performing and creating. I was one of those kids that would make my family watch me for hours. I remember when I was 11 years old, I would write songs and practice them with my grandma. Then, at 12, I made some pretty big sacrifices and decided to work very hard to make my dream come true.
What was it like relocating from Australia to the US?
It was super scary and overwhelming at first. I had no idea what to expect. I had never even been to NYC before I moved here! But NYC is the most creative place on the planet and I love how many opportunities I have here.
Do you miss anything about Brisbane and AUS?
I do miss being in Australia a lot. Being away from my friends, family, and the beach is hard.
Would you ever want to collaborate with someone?
I think it would be amazing to work with Drake.
If you weren't doing this, what would you be doing?
Honestly, I have no idea! I feel like I'm living my dream, and I never thought I would get to call my hobby a job. My parents wanted me to be a doctor, so just in case they're reading this I'm going to go with that.
What's your favorite New York memory?
That's a tough one! Probably New York Fashion Week, or The Meadows Music Festival.
If someone hasn't heard you before, what song should they listen to first?
I would say listen to "To Not Love You" first, so you can hear the love story before the heartbreak that is "Heart Away From You."
What are your favorite fashion trends right now?
I'm obsessed with Fendi's new line, and LF's crop top with fishnets style. I also love Givenchy's shoe collection — it's causal-made-fancy.
A post shared by @ cartierlee on
How did you hone your style?
It took a really long time for me to learn my personal style. I think it's a way to express who you are and feel comfortable with yourself. Individuality is something that should be celebrated, not made fun of, but I guess when you're young that's not always the case.
What's next for you?
Definitely more music. I just started performing around NYC, so a tour is also definitely in the near future.
HollywoodLifers, do you love this new video? Tell us what you think!

A 2011 James Beard Award winner for "Best Chef, Mid-Atlantic," Chef Michael Solomonov is the executive chef at Zahav (237 St. James Place, 215-625-8800), Philadelphia's renowned modern Israeli restaurant. Known for his extraordinary skill at transforming simple foods into artful culinary masterpieces, he is widely regarded as one of the city's top young chefs and entrepreneurs. In addition to his duties at Zahav, of which is he co-owner, Chef Solomonov is a partner in Percy Street Barbecue (900 South Street, 215-625-8510), a Southern inspired barbecue restaurant and bar on South Street that has quickly become known as the best place in Philadelphia for smoked meats, and Federal Donuts (two locations: 1219 South 2nd Street and 1632 Sansom Street) a mostly take-out, donuts-and-fried-chicken shop serving exceptional coffee, cake donuts and fried chicken.
In 2012, Food & Wine magazine named Chef Solomonov among the country's top "Empire Builders," admiring his devotion "to reinventing overlooked cuisines." Chef Solomonov was also the subject of a New York Times feature in 2011 that explored the genesis and continued success of Zahav, which praised his "simple food with layers of flavor." That same year, Zahav was elevated to a coveted "Four Bells: Superior" rating from the Philadelphia Inquirer, one of only four restaurants citywide to attain that elite status. Both Conde Nast Traveler and Travel + Leisure named Zahav among the top restaurants in the nation in their May 2009 issues, and Esquire named Zahav among their "Best New Restaurants, 2008." Zahav has also been featured in Bon Appetit, which selected the restaurant as one of their "Hot 10 Summer Blockbusters."

Here's a bonus follow-up photo set for Klara's outdoor park scene in Normandy. This was actually an enormous private estate, although there were a few groundskeepers standing behind me as we shot these. (For those who asked about Klara's facial expressions, she was not angry, just squinting to avoid the harsh afternoon sun. To save her eyesight, we went inside after this session, and those shots are coming up soon as well.)

Remote login software TeamViewer has had a significant number of user accounts hacked, and the organization is scrambling to find the root cause of the problem. A spokesman for the organization, Alex Schmidt, confirmed the community's suspiciton over the weekend, but is blaming poor external passwords to be the main cause.
This has not stopped users of TeamViewer to take to community networking sites Reddit, Twitter, and other social media sites voicing their frustration about hacked accounts. The scare here is that due to the very nature of the software, hackers are able to take control of a user's PC, and are able to make purchases using saved shopping information as well as install malicious malware.
Check out the tips below, provided by Alina Bradford, over on CNET.
Has your TeamViewer account been hacked?
There's no need to worry and wait to see if your TeamViewer account has been hacked. You can do a little investigation to find evidence which may indicate a breach.
Take a look at the files that log the program's connections to your computer. How you access the files is different, depending on what operating system you use, according to TeamViewer.
How access TeamViewer QuickSupport log files using Windows:
- Click on the tool kit symbol in the upper right corner
- Click on the button Open Logfiles...
- Open the files named ConnectionFirst
How to access TeamViewer full version + Host module log files using Windows:
- Click on Extras in the menu
- Click on Open log files...
- Open the files named Connections_incoming.txt and Connections.txt
How to open log files using Linux:
- Run the command teamviewer -ziplog (with root) on a command line
- Unzip the ZIP file
- Open the files named Connections_incoming.txt and Connections.txt
How to open log files using Mac:
- Start the Console app (/Applications/Utilities/Console)
- Look in Files -> ~/Library/Logs/TeamViewer
- Open Connections.txt
Once you have the files open, look for any logins using an IP address other than your own. If there are logins from a strange location, your account has probably been hacked.
Don't know what your IP address is? Type in "how to find your IP address" into Google search. Google will give you your IP address as the top search result.
What to do if your TeamViewer account has been hacked
If you suspect that your TeamViewer account has been hacked, there are several steps you should take to secure your computer and your account.
1. Alert the TeamViewer support team. Their support numbers are 1-800-951-4573 (English) and 1-800-865-9123 (Spanish); you can also submit a ticket.
2. Run a malware scan to be sure that malicious software hasn't been downloaded on your computer. After a scan has been completed and you're sure that there isn't any malware on your computer, change your TeamViewer password by going to Extras > Options > Security > Personal password.
Here are some guidelines for creating unique, hard-to-crack passwords:
- Don't use passwords that use personal information (your birthdate, your child's name, where you were born).
- Use a combination of lowercase and capital letters.
- Don't use words that can be found in the dictionary.
- Use letters, numbers and special characters in your password.
- Use different passwords on different accounts across the Internet.
3. Enable 2-step authentication, if you haven't already. Log in to your TeamViewer account at login.teamviewer.com. Click Edit profile > General> Activate link > Two factor authentication. Then, follow the onscreen instructions and click Save.
4. Change your user options to lock down your account. Go to AdvancedOptions > Connections to this computer. Change the setting from full access to confirm all. Now for TeamViewer to allow any inbound access, someone will need to be physically at the computer.
To make your connection even more secure, you can restrict only certain TeamViewer IDs or deny connections from outside your network. To so this, follow the instructions in the TeamViewer manual for remote control.
5. Change your other passwords. Did you share your old TeamViewer password with other accounts across the Web? Change their passwords right away and make sure your new passwords are all different. Once hackers have one password they will try to use it to hack into other accounts.

Trudging Through It Sober and with a Smile
I am having yet another crazy busy week, as a matter of fact I wanted to post this morning but here it is, 4pm already!
I am feeling quite overwhelmed by my jobs workload. It seems that I am living and breathing work! And then house work and kids and oh…. When is this going to end! Of course in many ways I am very grateful that I have a job, especially since so many have had been out of work due to the United States federal government shutdown – I tell ya, as I am writing this out, is sounds crazy but it is very real!
So I am just trying to keep it all together, trying not to freak out and have a nervous breakdown or something. I know my coworkers have their own ways to deal. The other day I asked one of them how he deals with the stress, he replied – "Lots of Bourbon!" – HA HA ! I told him that if I did that he would not see me ever again. We laughed about it; I wonder if he even believed me, but I know that is true. Maybe not the very next day, or one after that, but eventually the drink would take over and I would probably just quit coming to work – and yes, been there, done that!
So I have my own ways to deal, first of all I take deep breaths and frequent breaks during the work day. I eat and drink (water) regularly – forgetting to eat makes me even more crazy! I take my multivitamin daily, and I try to get a good night's sleep, which is a bit hard when you're overwhelmed and stressed. But I have learned that the serenity prayer does wonder for this, I just repeat it over and over, till I fall asleep. Here is my version with a little personal line:
God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change
Courage to change the things I can
Strength to continue to be kind to others (even though I want to ____ them)
And the wisdom to know the difference
Another thing I like to do is to listen to some angry music, like NIN and Disturbed for release of frustration, and then some calming jazzy music like Macy Gray and Joss Stone to relax. For me MUSIC is really the best for stress! There is always a song that can get me through! And of course I call my sponsor and email my BFF! I also go to a meeting when I can and I read lots of sober blogs. And speaking of blogs, you my friends have been writing like crazy, today alone I got 15 notifications! Woot Woot – perfect timing! I am very grateful, thank you!
Oh… and I know that some of what I am feeling is of my own making. I have this great ability of making things really huge when they may not be. Well the work load is huge indeed, but I am sure it will all be done in due time. And I am sure that the world will not blow up if it is not! So I have to remind myself to stay in today and only focus on what is directly in front of me!
One day at a time
One foot in front of the other
I heard this little line on "The Middle" show tonight, the ending line was – We all go through tough patches, you just have to hunker down and ride it out!
Well, happy Wednesday,
here is a little something that is guaranteed to make you laugh!
How are you doing this week?
If you, or anyone you know, is struggling with alcohol addiction, please click the Find Support link for an extensive list of support groups. Also please check out the links to many useful resources in the sidebar, and always feel free to contact me anytime at email@example.com.
You may also find some great inspiration and support from all the awesome sober bloggers listed in the side bar under POSTS I LIKE and RECOVERY BLOGGERS, as well as Sober Courage page on Facebook and Sober Courage on Twitter.

10 Low Platelet Count Causes (Disease-Induced)
Blood is an essential component of the human body. It is formed by cells and plasma. Plasma constitutes 55 percent of the blood. It is formed by cells – the red blood cells, white blood cells and the platelets (thrombocyte cells).
Red blood cells or RBCs are responsible in carrying oxygen to different parts of the body and white blood cells or WBCs are responsible in fighting off infection. The platelets are needed by the body to stop bleeding. This happens along with other proteins and components in the blood which help in stopping a bleed, known as coagulation factors.
The cellular components of the blood are formed in a site called the bone marrow which is located inside long bones. The blood cells form and mature in the bone marrow and are then passed into circulation, in the bloodstream.
However, many diseases can affect production of cells, thereby influencing cellular count such as the platelet count. It will certainly be in a horrible position to experience sudden and uncontrolled gushing out of blood from the nose, gums and other openings of the body.
And sadly, it could happen with a really low platelet count. Before that happens, better manage the drop immediately. This may usually be a costly endeavor but there are affordable options such as all-natural remedies you can learn from money back guaranteed materials like Conquer Low Platelets.
Low Platelet Count Causes By Medical Condition
The following medical conditions cause a low platelet count:
1. Dengue Fever.
Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne tropical disease caused by a viral infection. Some patients experience the development of the condition into a life-threatening stage referred to as dengue-hemorrhagic fever, where bleeding, blood plasma leakage, and low platelet count takes place.
The drop in platelet levels is a result of the attack brought about by the virus to the location where platelets are produced, the bone marrow.
The treatment for acute dengue is supportive in approach, using either oral or intravenous rehydration for mild or moderate cases. Intravenous fluids and blood transfusion are included for severe cases of the medical condition. Hospitalization is required in the management of dangerously low platelet count.
2. HIV infection.
HIV is a rapidly spreading viral infection that also causes a reduction in platelet count. HIV can affect any organ of the body which includes the bone marrow, altering platelet production.
The treatment for HIV induced reduction in platelet count is called HAART or Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy. It is aimed at reducing the viral load and preventing further destruction of the bone marrow by giving time for the platelets to revive.
3. Drug induced.
Certain drugs such as paracetamol, diclofenac, fluconazole, ibuprofen, naproxen, etc. can cause low platelet count in different ways. Withdrawing the causative drug is the management of choice for a drug induced low platelet count.
In some cases, the platelet count may fall dangerously low and the patient may require hospitalization. The treatment may be refocused on management of any developed complications along with effectively preventing death.
4. Heparin induced.
Heparin is a drug used in thrombotic situations such as pulmonary thromboembolism. A thrombotic state is a situation when abnormal blood clots form due to certain factor/s. Heparin induced thrombocytopenia or HIT is different on how it causes low platelets in comparison to other drugs.
In fact, heparin can cause an increased tendency of forming more clots as opposed to increasing the chances of bleeding. This may sound contradicting but it does happen in many occasion. The reason it happens is because HIT antibodies gets formed against a platelet protein which eventually activates the platelets.
The activated platelets cause increased clot formation, consuming a lot of platelets in the process, resulting to a low platelet count.
5. Idiopathic or Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura.
ITP is an immune mediated causative factor for reduced platelets in the body.
It is defined as the occurrence of isolated low platelet count but with normal bone marrow and absence of other causes of thrombocytopenia.
ITP causes a characteristic purpuric rash along with an increased tendency to bleed. This autoimmune condition that causes the destruction of blood platelets in patients is classified as primary thrombocytopenic purpura. Read about ITP treatment methods.
6. Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura.
TTP is caused by a deficiency of an enzyme which cleaves von Willebrand factor. It can also be a result that happens due to the destruction of this enzyme by antibodies.
Von Willebrand factor, when cleaved, acts upon platelets, normally preventing adhesion and aggregation, thereby keeping blood from clotting together as they should in normal circumstances. This keeps the blood flowing freely in the bloodstream.
In the absence of cleaving, however, the platelets adhere and aggregate to one another forming clots. This lead to increased consumption of platelets resulting to a low platelet count. TTP can be inherited or idiopathic. The inherited form of the disease is called as Upshaw Shulman syndrome.
7. Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome.
HUS is mostly preceded by a severe and ignored case of bloody diarrhoea. This results in reduced blood flow to the kidneys due to severe dehydration which may eventually lead to kidney damage.
The loss of blood through the gut in the form of diarrhoea is directly responsible for the reduced platelet count in HUS. There is another form of HUS which is hereditary in nature and not associated with diarrhoea.
The treatment is supportive and revolves around correction of dehydration and prevention of complications due to reduced platelet.
8. Pregnancy induced.
Reduced platelets in pregnancy can be due to many diseases such as connective tissue disorders, viral infections and hypersplenism. But the most notable among these is HELLP syndrome.
This results from an increased blood pressure which is a direct effect of the pregnancy itself. It is managed by drugs like magnesium sulphate that reduces the blood pressure and is safe to use in pregnancy. However, there are cases where a mild drop in platelet count during pregnancy is considered normal.
9. MYH9-related disorders.
Myosin heavy chain 9 (MYH9)-related platelet diseases belong to the group of inherited thrombocytopenia. May Hegglin anomaly, Sebastian, Epstein and Fechtner anomalies however, are rare causes of reduced platelet count.
Each of these has a common feature – the presence of large platelets as seen on microscopy. But their distinctive features differentiate one from the other. These diseases can be inherited in any one of the many forms such as autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive or X linked recessive.
10. Evans syndrome.
This is a disease which presents a diagnostic dilemma even to many physicians. It is very similar to HUS in presentation. It can only be differentiated by a blood test called coombs test.
The main complication of low platelet count is the tendency to bleed. Depending on the location of the bleed, it will produce varied symptoms. For example, if the bleed occurs inside the brain, the symptoms will be nausea, vomiting, loss of consciousness, etc.
The diseases that can cause a reduced platelet count are not exclusive to the list given above but usually fall in one these. As true for any disease, not every condition can be conclusively diagnosed and treated for good, though can be managed. Management for low platelet count depends on the underlying specific medical condition.

The tingling started while at work and was just off and on. I associated this feeling of my hand "falling asleep" due to my positioning at my desk. However, the feeling has not gone away for the last 24 hours. I have not taken another dose just in case this is the reason. Any ideas or thoughts?
Could tingling in my left hand be a side effect of Phentramine?

Responses (1)
Possible Side Effects
Since phentramine contains bitter orange and caffeine, both of which are stimulants, you may experience these possible side effects: sleep disturbances, such as insomnia; nervousness; shaking of the hands; feeling jittery; heartburn; and the feeling as if you are spinning. Other effects may include nausea and vomiting, increased urination, headaches, tinnitus (ringing of your ears) and sun sensitivity. Sexual issues such as impotence can occur, as well.
Severe Effects
# It is important to consult a DOC if you experience any of these issues: High blood pressure, or a racing or irregular heartbeat are signs of a serious condition. It is not common to feel your heart beating forcefully, to have chest pains, or to experience visual disturbances such as blurriness. If you feel as if one side of your body is going numb or weak, seek medical attention immediately, as these are potential signs of a stroke. Seizures are another severe effect of phentramine.
Ischemic Colitis
# By using phentramine, you have a rare chance of developing ischemic colitis. According to the Mayo Clinic, ischemic colitis occurs when your colon is injured or inflamed due to a restriction in blood flow to the colon. If you develop ischemic colitis, you usually will feel pain on the lower left side of your abdomen. You may also experience bloody stools, frequent diarrhea, vomiting and fever.
Allergic Reactions
# Having an allergic reaction to a medication is rare. However, if you develop any of the following symptoms, discontinue taking phentramine and seek immediate medical attention: rash or hives; or swollen face, tongue or lips. It is also abnormal to experience difficulty breathing, wheezing of the chest, or difficulty swallowing.

At the Lake
Finally, got the rig at the lake and have been living in it all week. Very enjoyable, got a nice site with a view to the small pond that is below the dam. As of now I plan to stay out there another week and then take the rig to the shop for some minor modifications to the kitchen cabinets etc. Rain storm this AM so a good time to get some needed rest time. Besides at 0800 still pretty dark from all the black clouds etc. Came to town today and went to the office to catch up, then do laundry and head back out. Will not come back until I go to work on Monday. A beautiful day today, so laundry hurry up, cold beer at the rig and brats for supper tonite. Hopefully my daughter and her family will be able to join me on Sunday. Only communication I have with the outside world is my two Blackberrys, one from work and the other personel. Can get email etc. Will not be online in the rig until I sell the house and get a good laptop setup. So the cat will wave his tail tonite and enjoy the outdoors and peace and quiet.
