Alkaline water
I just recently discovered how important pH balance is for the body. As it turns out, the body should be more alkaline than acidic. I found that interesting, since alkaline is my screen name. Here is some information on the subject.
Acid-Alkaline Balance
Proper Health starts with the correct acid-alkaline balance in your body. The pH level (acid - alkaline measurement) of our internal fluids affects every cell in our bodies. Extended acid imbalances of any kind can overwhelm your body, and lead to health complications.
Just as the body regulates its temperature in a rigid manner, so will it manage to preserve a very narrow pH range - especially in the blood. As a matter of fact, the body will go to such great lengths to maintain a blood pH of 7.365 that it will even create stress on other tissues, body systems, and organs to do so. Chronic acidity will interrupt all cellular activities and functions - it interferes with life itself.
When the pH of the body gets out of balance (too acidic), we may experience low energy, fatigue, excess weight, poor digestion, aches and pains, and even more serious disorders.
The cycle of acidity begins primarily as a result of three things:
1. Ingesting acids. Eating too many acidifying foods like processed sugar, meats, dairy, coffee, alcohol, etc. Create an acid ash in the body. These acids can overload the body’s ability to neutralize them.
2. Creation of acids. Pathogens and microforms create acidifying toxins in the body. As the body becomes more and more acidic, bad bacteria, yeasts and other microforms proliferate in the body. Since these organisms are living, they eat as well as create resulting toxins. These toxins are often very acidifying.
3. Improper elimination of acids. Not all acids are the same; some are weak and some are strong. Weak acids like citric acid are much easier to neutralize than strong acids like uric acid. The body uses many systems in order to buffer acids including breath, mineral reserves, and fat. When the body’s buffering systems become compromised, excess acids build up.
The process of reestablishing acid-alkaline balance begins with proper diet and nutrition. This includes eating alkalizing foods (vegetables, low sugar fruits, etc.), super hydration (drinking plenty of alkaline water that is ionic and structured), and proper supplementation.
pH Balance begins with super hydration
Water is the most crucial factor in establishing and maintaining proper acid-alkaline balance. Since your body is 70% water, it is extremely important to constantly replenish your supply of it. The body loses 2.5 liters of water every day just through normal bodily functions. The quality of the water that you drink is just as important as the quantity of water you drink. The water you put in your body must be able to prevent toxins and chemical substances from accumulating and creating destructive influences on cells. Water must also transport minerals and nutrients required for cell metabolism, and remove any substances that can damage the cell. Ideally, the water you drink should have a ph between 9 and 10, and you should be drinking 3-4 liters of it daily.
In order to hydrate your body optimally, you need to drink water that is alkaline and ionized. Alkaline water helps to neutralize stored acids and toxins. Once these acids are neutralized, they can then be removed by the body. Alkaline water containing ionic minerals also acts as a conductor of electrochemical activity from cell to cell. Reports from studies suggest that ionized, alkaline water can help the body resist disease and slow aging by:
Increasing Intracellular Hydration
Replenishing Essential Minerals
Stabilizing and Protecting Cells
Helping To Maintain Normal Blood Flow and Acid Alkaline Balance
Flushing Out and Preventing Wastes from Accumulating in Cells
Preventing Free Radicals from Forming and Damaging Other Cells
Alkalive™ pH Booster™, added to your water, increases the alkalinity and pH of it to 9.5. It also infuses it with over 72 ionic minerals.

THE HARDEST BUTTON TO BUTTON
By David Cotner
Immigration in America is today's hot-button issue -- and by "hot-button" I mean "press here for nukes." By the Time I Get to Arizona, a new exhibition about the recent Arizona immigration laws -- Senate Bill 1070 in particular, ranking in notoriety with Prop. 187 or AB 7734 -- includes a video installation by guerrilla artist The Phantom, taped surreptitiously along the U.S.-Mexico border, exposing everything from coyotes and black helicopters to the desolate wasteland that faces immigrant hopefuls trying to make it into the U.S. Featured in the exhibition: multimedia artworks by Acamonchi, Dabs & Myla, Dash 2000 Fidel, El Mac, Estevan Oriol, Jaime Germs Zacarias, and Ritzy Periwinkle. Curated by in-house artist collective Viejas Del Mercado and sponsored by shoemaker Puma, it's your chance to see the latest avant-garde street art that tackles today's issues in a relevant way -- and it's not for nothing that the avant-garde are always the ones who get shot at first.

The biggest man made disaster.
AP - 2 mins ago
NEW ORLEANS - The cap on the blown-out well in the Gulf is capturing a half-million gallons a day, or anywhere from one-third to three-quarters of the oil spewing from the bottom of the sea, officials said Monday . But the hopeful report was offset by a warning that the farflung slick has broken up into hundreds and even thousands of patches of oil that may inflict damage that could persist for years.
Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen , the government's point man for the crisis, said the breakup has complicated the cleanup.
"Dealing with the oil spill on the surface is going to go on for a couple of months," he said at a briefing in Washington. But "long-term issues of restoring the environment and the habitats and stuff will be years."
Allen said the containment cap that was installed late last week is now collecting about 460,000 gallons of oil a day out of the approximately 600,000 to 1.2 million gallons believed to be spewing from the well a mile underwater.
The amount of oil captured is being slowly ramped up as more vents on the cap are closed. Crews are moving carefully to avoid a dangerous pressure buildup and to prevent the formation of the icy crystals that thwarted a previous effort to contain the leak. The captured oil is being pumped to a ship on the surface.
"I think it's going fairly well," Allen said.
BP said it plans to replace the cap — perhaps later this month or early next month — with a slightly bigger one that will provide a tighter fit and thus collect more oil. It will also be designed to allow the company to suspend the cleanup and then resume it quickly if a hurricane threatens the Gulf later this season. The new cap is still being designed.
"It gives us much better containment than we've got" with the existing cap, said BP senior vice president Kent Wells.
BP and government officials acknowledged it is difficult to say exactly how much oil is spewing from the well, and thus how much is still flowing into the water. BP spokesman Robert Wine said the figures being discussed are estimates, some of which have been provided by the government.
Ed Overton, a Louisiana State University professor of environmental sciences, suggested it is too early for anyone to claim victory. The spill, estimated at anywhere from 23 million gallons to 50 million, is already the biggest in U.S. history, dwarfing the 1989 Exxon Valdez disaster in Alaska.
"We're hopeful the thing is going to work, but hoping and actually working are two different things," Overton said. "They may have turned the corner, they may not have. We just don't know right now."
He said he doesn't believe BP will have turned the corner until it sees a significant flow from the well stopped. "And it is not entirely obvious to me that that is happening," Overton said.
"I do worry we are not removing as much oil as we ought to be getting," he added.
The "spillcam" video of the leak continued to show a big brown billowing cloud of oil and gas 5,000 feet below the surface.
In Washington, President Barack Obama sought to reassure Americans that "we will get through this crisis."
"This will be contained," he said. "It may take some time, and it's going to take a whole lot of effort. There is going to be damage done to the Gulf Coast , and there is going to be economic damages that we've got to make sure BP is responsible for and compensates people for."
But in a forecast that was by turns hopeful and gloomy, Allen indicated that cleaning up the mess could prove to be more complex than previously thought.
"Because what's happened over the last several weeks, this spill has disaggregated itself," Allen said. "We're no longer dealing with a large, monolithic spill. We're dealing with an aggregation of hundreds or thousands of patches of oil that are going a lot of different directions."
When finished, the new cap would be connected a riser pipe floating about 300 feet below the surface. Engineers say the riser would be deep enough to avoid damage from hurricanes that can roar over the Gulf of the Mexico, but shallow enough to allow returning drill ships to quickly reconnect to the flow.
Meanwhile, crews worked furiously to skim, scour and chemically disperse the substance from the water.
Tony Wood, the director of the National Spill Control School at Texas A&M University in Corpus Christi, said BP's success at containing some of the leaking oil would not dramatically reduce the amount of time it would take to clean up the Gulf.
"We have a large volume still escaping," he said. "Cleanup levels up to twice as large as we have right now will go on for at least a year." He added: "The reality is that most of the spill, the vast majority of the spill, is still well offshore."
The oil — brick red in places, chocolate brown in others — has washed up on the shores of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and the Florida Panhandle .
At Barataria Bay , La., just west of the mouth of the Mississippi River , large patches of oil the consistency of pancake batter floated in the still waters. A dead sea turtle caked in brownish-red oil lay splayed out with dragonflies buzzing by.
The Barataria estuary, which has become one of the hardest-hit areas, was busy with shrimp boats skimming up oil and officials in boats and helicopters patrolling the islands and bays to assess the state of wildlife and the movement of oil. On remote islands, pelicans, gulls, terns and herons were stained with oil.
Jody Haas, a tourist from Aurora, Ill., was among the few walking on tar-stained Pensacola Beach. Haas, who has visited the beach before, said it wasn't the same.
"It was pristine, gorgeous, white sand," she said. "This spot is light compared to some of the other spots farther down and it is just everywhere here. It's just devastating, awful."

What is Your Free National Name & Race?
Our ancestors taught the world through the Ancient Kemetian-Moorish Adept Mystery System. The Bassalt Heads and Earth Mounds can be found to this day from Canada in the North, Southward throughout the U.S., Mexico, Central and into South America, proves our pre-America presence. No other people can factually or rightfully make this indigenous claim. This includes the Indian Tribes that followed many centuries later.
We are the return of the Ancient Ones and we are today what our Ancient Forefathers were yesterday, without doubt or contradiction! You are the descendants & hires of this land in which you now dwell! You are indigenous to this country.
This is Africa (Amexem), you’re ancestral HOME!
How can a people be Colored in the 1940’s, Negroes in the 50’s, Blacks in the 60’s, Afros in the 70’s, Black Pan-Africans in the 80’s and African Americans in the 90’s… If Italians, Greeks, English, Chinese, Japanese, Turks and Arabians are forced to proclaim their free national name and religion before the constitutional government of the United Snakes of America, it is no more than right that the law should be enforced upon all other so-called American Citizens alike.
There is but one true and divine way for the misnomer-ed Negro, Blacks, Colored People and African Americans to be free and that is to unite, becoming one family, bearing the one true free National name of their Forefathers. All state certified Birth Certificates, U.S. Social Security numbers and other United Snakes Identifications rest upon Ex post Facto laws which are bogus and fraudulent. Yet, these same laws give authorization to your right from Negro to Moor by you correcting and proclaiming proper Status, which is required by law of all free national governments according to their constitutions. We have naturally derived our Free National Name “Moorish” by West African descent and “American” by indigenous birth.
You are NOT! Negro, Black, Colored, Black American or African American!
These are not Races or Nationalities & the world does not recognize them.
Whether you want to be or not – you are Asiatic by Race & Moorish by Natural Decent! We must stand together in our Proper Person & claim our Free National & Family Tribal names!
Ali, Bey, Dun, Dey, El, Nuwabian, Washitah, Yumanchee or Zulu etc!
Moorish American!
Our Moorish Government, already accepted in writing as a Nation by the Delegates from Geneva at the 2007 UN Conference, is made up for free Moorish Peoples by the Moorish Peoples who need their freedom. In accordance with the Declaration of Human Rights: We have the right to be known by Our One, True Free National Name. We have the inherent Rights to lands, air and waterways originally civilized, inhabited and cultivated by our Forefathers and insure the sanctity of our Men, Women, Children and their prosperity.
Exclaimer: The entirety of this mondus operandi is not to be misconstrued as a religious affiliation, church or secret society because with all free national governments, religion is the choice of its Nationals, not visa versa. This is not intended as an attempt to rally believers to start an uprising, denounce, attack, rebel, or overthrow the existing government of the United Snakes of America. Actually we Vow to Uphold, Protect, Support and Defend this said Government: but only now we do it with Love, Truth, Peace, Freedom & Justice; as
True Moorish American Citizens!
Bambatta tour in Brazil
Rolou neste dia 01.04.10. O evento Rap in Rio no Circo Voador, Arcos da Lapa Rio de Janeiro o evento teve como atração principal AfrikaBambaataa que levantou a galera com muita Disco Music, Eletro Funk, Funk Carioca e Break Beats uma festa que com certeza irá marca a história do Hip Hop carioca pois Bambatta declarou seu amor pelo Funk Carioca em especial Tati Quebra Barraco e disse que o Funk Cariocatambem faz parte da cultura Hip Hop e que vê no Funk Carioca o Hip Hop dos anos 80. Bambaataa teve o prazer de tocar ao lado de Marcelo D2, B Negão, Black Alien alem de Catra e a Sagrada Familia. O unico acontecimento ruim ao evento foi a não participação da Zulu Nation Rio de Janeiro que não fôra convidados a estarem presentes para prestigiar e participar do evento nem por Afrika Bambaataa e nem pelos organizadores do evento. Acreditamos que isso possa ter causado um mal estar imenso dentre os Zulus do Rio de Janeiro, já que a Zulu Rio de Janeiro é uma das mas comentada atualmente como uma organização atuante no Hip Hop carioca. Para quem não sabe a Zulu Nation é uma entidade criada por Afrika Bambaataa no mundo todo e que é respeitada pelos seus principíos de ativismo politico e militancia pela verdadeiracutura Hip Hop. Realizando eventos e manifestações em prol das comunidades e da organização coletiva.
