Blogging Art.

Hi there, I 'd read article talking about blogging, and how to do it, and blabla bla, it was good, but did not talk about the real escence of this art, at the begining for me sound kind a confusing when my friend told me about it, and day by day it became easier and natural and really enjoyiable, sometimes I do not write because I feel I don't have anything intresting to say, but I should worry about it, because what is going on in my day, in my life...even then there is something always that we can say if we take a few minutes to meditate and just have a couple of minutes for ourselves, I need more accion and adrenaline in my life, blogging is pretty good as a therapy also where you can do poetry just as the the art of painting, sublime your toughts and feelings and ideas put an order and logic to them and make them beautifull and then...share, and when others read it, that is amazing, sometimes I complain that my kids don't listen to me, that my husband don't listen to me, that my family doesn't listen to me, and then when I see that someone leave a comment in my blog, I do feel REALLY good about it, because I know my toughts and ideas were not a cry in the empty space,... If we scream in the middle of the nothing nobody can hear anything, but still mean something at least for yourself, but when somebody listen some where, Does Not Have a Price, Today I just want to Thank~ Everybody who has read my blog, or just to take a look and people blogging and taking the time to read other humans ideas and lifes and thank you all for sharing and let me tell you that we are doing the right thing and sailing in the right direction, Greek Philosophers as Aristoteles would say that just by the dialog of a few brains together we can give live or give birth to the Knowledge (pensamiento).
Lets keep doing our good job, and lets be happy where ever we are.

Owls...and more

I want to start with one of the stories that my Mom told me about Owls,...
She was starting to work as a teacher in Mexico, they give her a job in the middle of the forest in a town by the mountains to go and teach in this little town, there was not hotel, or room to rent, the rich people of the town give her a room and a bed and what she need she stayed with this family, the mistery starts when one day she starts listening to an Owl, a big eyed owl will go and stand in one of the branches of a huge tree that face just straigt to my Moms window, every night at 8 o'clock this owl will go and sing for about an hour in the tree next to the window and then take off, during two weeks... then one day one of the son's of thefamily she was staying with died, got kill some one kill him, the family was very sad, and then my Mom notice that after the day the son got kill, the owl did not come back, did not come back that night, and did not come back the next day or ever again, so my Mom felt like was weird so make a coment to the woman Mother of the boy, she told her about this weird thing with the owl, and what she said next is just so amazing and scary but true, but this lady told my Mom,,,
You should have told me before... about that Owl coming, you did not know, but the Owl was trying to tell you what was going about to happen, she told my Mom, that in the town and old people there knew, and had a say "When the Owl Sings the Indian Dies"
Isn't is amazing, I think owls can be messengers I don't think they are bad, I think they are creatures of God and they are good, they are divine messengers too, that birdie was trying to say something, this is one of the better stories my Mom has told me, and I have to say that I have a fasination about Owls, they are my favorite bird and animal above all, they just remind me of the spiritual world, you know when they say, that the eyes are the doors or windows to your soul, Well they have two big beautifull windows to their souls, I just love them they are so unbelivable cute, and misterious as can be, they represent wisdom, and I just love them little and big and everyone of them. Back in the past I used to draw owls everywhere, anywhere and one day talking with my friend hipmmomy she told me that she could help me to put some designs on t shirts and stuff, so we work on it, and we got it done and now I want to present you a little online store that is in diapers but I think could have potencial because is cute
I always like drawing, eyes, owl, eagles, trees, hands, leaves, mountains, rivers, it is just such a nice way to proyect all your energy, and your feelings, and thougths, I recomend everybody doing it, anyways I introduce you our little shop tell me what you think?

Monosodium Glutamate

Others things that are very important in our life to prevent getting a cronic inflamatory condition that can cause a negative impact in our healt. I have talk about the toxins that get stuck in our arteries, and immune system blocking the linfatic channels making so dificult for our body to clean itself and have a fight reaction against strange agents in our body, well today I want to talk about One of the dangerous toxines that we are getting into our bodies so many times that can have a very negative impact in our healt since about 1947. This poison because for Me, that is what it is! Also make you fat, in the bottom of the post I add some websites that will help you understanding and learning more about this sustance that is sickening US and the world population every single day, and to our children too, maybe they don't want us to last to long, die soon after we are not longer able to work and beeing profitable for the economy... who knows what are the dark intentions, make us adiccts to this products so we keep buying, anyways please take note of this and do not use or abuse this Poison foods because you wont feel it now but it will show trought the years, now talking about foods also starches are very bad to your body they just get stuck and attached to your intestins and that leads to other problems but Ok here is the Deadly list of the food THAT YOU MUST NOT EAT ANY MORE! or limitate the intake to a minimun, I know is not easy, but prevention is the key...

This is the famous Monosodium Glutamate :(
We can find this "Add flavor and conservative formula" and adictive! In almost ALL the Processed canned food, as


Chicken broth
Chichen Noodle soup "that we give to our children or eat when we get a cold!" Imagine that!
All Canned soups of the US food industry
Beef and chicken of the US food industry
Flavored potato chips products of the US food industry
Snack foods
Frozen Dinners
US-originated fast foods
Instant meals such as the seasoning mixtures for Instant Noodles
Corn Nuts
Lunchables

Some companies whether intentionally or unknowingly use the words flavorings or spices even if other ingredients including MSG are present. This is technically against the regulation and should the company be questioned about it, would be required to update labels.

part of this blog also contains referal info coming from the next websites.

Antioxidants

Antioxidants, we have heard so much about them and that is good, because if we do not include in our daily diet enough of this we can be at risk of developing some kind of cronic inflamatory condition that can end up in cancer, we find the best proanthocyanidins antioxidants in
cocoa or chocolate
apples
peanuts
grape seed capsules
bark of pines
whole grapes
almonds
bluebarries and cranberries.
proanthocyanidins help stabilize collagen and elastin, this two specially will help in the prevention of premature or sick aging.
We find Antioxidants in other Herbs as Ginkgo Biloba, Green Tea, Milk Thisle, Bilberry and Tumeric.
Vitamins as Vitamin E, Beta carotene, Vitamin A, Lutein, B2 Vitamins even better if you get complex B, wich includes B6 and B12 too for our nervs, Cysteine and Co Enzyme Q10 also is a powerfull Antioxidant.
To this list we most include the proper amount of Manganese, Copper, Selenium and Zinc.
Remember that if we eat colorfull meals fruits and vegetables, greens, reds, yellow, orange, it is easy to get the needed intake of this but just to be sure myself I try to add this supplements at least two to tree days a week when I know I did not make time to get the rigth foods or enogh vegetables in our diet.
Something we must know about vitamins and how to be carefull, specially there is some vitamins that we cannot abuse of them because they are liposoluble, that means that the mechanism that our body uses is to disolve them in to the fat, and not into the water as the hidrosolubles.

There is two kinds of vitamins
hidro soluble and the lipo soluble (Fat Soluble or water soluble.)
The most of the letters are hidrosolubles....
the hidrosoluble vitamins went out of the body with the urine,
the liposolubles remain in the fat of the body and liver for a little longer time.
Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin which is derived from two sources: preformed retinoids and provitamin carotenoids. Retinoids such as retinal, retinal, and retinoic acid are found in animal sources like liver, kidney, eggs, and dairy produce. Carotenoids like beta-carotene (which has the highest vitamin A activity) are found in plants such as dark or yellow vegetables and carrots.
Thiamin (also spelled "thiamine") is a water-soluble B-complex vitamin
the water-soluble factor from vitamin B2 and named it vitamin B6.
Vitamin B12 is an essential water soluble vitamin that is commonly found in a variety of foods such as fish, shellfish, meats, and dairy products. Vitamin B12 is frequently used in combination with other B vitamins in a vitamin B complex formulation
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a water-soluble vitamin which is necessary in the body to form collagen in bones, cartilage, muscle, and blood vessels, and aids in the absorption of iron. Dietary sources of vitamin C include fruits and vegetables, particularly citrus fruits such as oranges
Vitamin D is found in numerous dietary sources such as fish, eggs, fortified milk, and cod liver oil. The sun is also a significant contributor to our daily production of vitamin D, and as little as 10 minutes of exposure is thought to be enough to prevent deficiencies. The term "vitamin D" refers to several different forms of this vitamin. Two forms are important in humans: ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) and cholecalciferol (vitamin D3). Vitamin D2 is synthesized by plants. Vitamin D3 is synthesized by humans in the skin when it is exposed to ultraviolet-B (UVB) rays from sunlight or the diet.
The major biologic function of vitamin D is to maintain normal blood levels of calcium and phosphorus. Vitamin D aids in the absorption of calcium, helping to form and maintain strong bones. Recently, research also suggests vitamin D may provide protection from osteoporosis, hypertension, cancer, and several autoimmune diseases.
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin with antioxidant properties
Forms of vitamin K:
"Vitamin K" refers to a group of chemically similar fat-soluble compounds called naphthoquinones. Vitamin K1 (phytonadione) is the natural form of vitamin K, which is found in plants, and provides the primary source of vitamin K to humans through dietary consumption. Vitamin K2 compounds (menaquinones) are made by bacteria in the human gut, and provide a smaller amount of the human vitamin K requirement. Vitamin K1 is commercially manufactured for medicinal use under several brand names (Phylloquinone, Phytonadione, AquaMEPHYTON, Mephyton, Konakion). A water-soluble preparation is available for adults only as vitamin K3 (menadione).
for more information about vitamins and Antioxidants visit the next links some info was taken from this websites to provide you with some good information.
Thank God for letting me finish this post, I have to let my little daughter to help with the post so she pick pink for some of the text in the post, they don't like to see momy working in the computer for so long... again, I am glad I was able to finish this post tonight :) Have a great week!!!12

just thinking...

Is now 11 o'clock at night finally I have sometime for myself, usually my kids sleep at 9 but they want me to stay untill they fall asleep reeding some books, after runing around cleaning the house, making food, and all the stuff that Mom's do, at the end of the day sometimes is hard to think oh well and tomorrow will be just one more of this days, sometimes it seems like nothing that you do makes a difference, I live trying to be better every day, better Mom, better wife, but then I realize that I just need to be a better MYSELF, A BETTER ME, when I try to please God and what I enjoy most, I became automatically a better Mom and Wife because it gives me the confidence of knowing I am doing the Right thing...
But sometimes because we were teach by our parents to please others, the bad habbit sometimes subconscienly takes over and we stop doing things for the right reason, is not because you don't care about what others think, is because everyone lives with their own laws and have a diferent points of views, and what can be sweet for me could be sour for you, there is not way to please others, you can Be nice to others, respectfull, helper, kind, loving, caring and you can love them so much and show that love, but do not try to please in a way that goes against your ideas, your moral, your selfsteem. This are lessons for myself, I like to write about it because when I see it written I remember better when the situation comes, I love to be nice and kind but some times because I forget about myself and that is not good to anyone. :)

Radium 226 and 228 in Drinking water.

Reverse Osmosis Water System, probably a solution
http://www.allergybuyersclubshopping.com/nimbus-reverse-osmosis-water-system.html
this is one of the water filtration systems that can get ride of most of the Radium and other polution in water for your house, remember that even if you do not drink it, you are showering on it and breathing it.

In this post I am adding some links to read about Radium more information about this situation happening in some areas of the country,(this is not new is been happening for years and years) but is important we know and if we can take the necesary steps to protect as much as we can our loved ones. Nuclear Power Plants work with Uranium, and when the Plant is not well treat or the uranium leaks or gets in contact with soil and water Radium goes free around the town in water air and soil and is not a positive thing...

We always get scared when we think about the radiation idea and we think that just in a nuclear attack we could be exposed to this, this is not the case, we are exposed to radioactive agents in several ways, and the less we are exposed the better because this exposure specially when is cronic through the years leads to osteosarcoma (bone cancer), lung cancer, breast cancer and another disturbances as catarats and others in our bodies...
Last week I got on the mail a water quality notice from the city I belong, saying that they got 10 new Water treatment Plants to treat the Naturally occurring radium in the city's public water supply. (I wonder if using the word naturally is going to cure some ones cancer)...
Anyways the concentration of Radium a Radioactive element was in our water for God only knows how long and is now in our bodies, exeding the maximum allowable concentration of radium in drinking water by the Polution control Board at 5 picocuries per Liter, we were at 6.33 picocuries per liter... becausse maybe is not in the water now, but if after beeing exposed to radium you take a radium test in urine and you will find it there... they said is not emergency,... but SOME PEOPLE DEVELOP CANCER.... not all of them... of course not all develop cancer, some develop catarats, some develop other problems, minor injuires, we are all diferent.
Anyways, my husband decide to put a general filter for the all the water that comes into our house, this water system has been really good and I guess will protect us at least a little bit when this kind of radium leakings ocurr.

In the notice was writen, You do not need to use an alternative blottle water supply or else, However if you have specific healt concerns talk to your doctor, This is not a immediate risk (No because cancer takes time to develop), If it had been, you would have been notified immediately. However, some people who drink water containing radium 226 or radium 228 in excess (just as we did) of MCL over many years may have an increased risk of getting cancer.
This text includes some writens in the letter from the city of Joliet Public Utilities Department.
Joliet IL 60433

Reverse Osmosis Water filtration filters 80% of the Radium in the water that is pretty good, I wanted to add this site and info not just the bad news, there is always a way to solve a problem once you have found it, so if you have a problem with Radium or water polution seek what solution could be best for you and your family, I made a little research and this is the best system that I found
http://www.allergybuyersclubshopping.com/nimbus-reverse-osmosis-water-system.html
I acctually have a not osmosis one and it works fine but this one will be the next to get. I am not advertising this site is just a recomendation with reference to the post.
