Congressman Charlie Crist (D-St. Petersburg) made the following statement after the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) found the Republican healthcare repeal bill would result in 14 million fewer Americans having health care coverage in 2018, with a total of 24 million Americans losing coverage by 2026. At the same time, those with coverage would see higher out-of-pocket costs, including higher deductibles and premium increases of 15-20 percent. The bill also would cut $880 billion from Medicaid, gutting the program that 70 million low-income Americans depend on for care, including seniors and individuals with disabilities.
"The score from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office confirms our worst fears. The Republicans' 'Don't Care' health plan means fewer Americans with access to lifesaving care, doubling the uninsured rate across the country, and raising deductibles and out-of-pocket costs. This legislation is terrible for those in their golden years, our seniors. And most distressing is how this bill treats the poor and the disabled of our society," said Crist. "The Gospel of Matthew teaches us that we will be judged by how we treat the 'least of these.' But this bill treats the least among us in the most inhumane way possible. At some point, its authors and supporters will have to answer to a higher power as to why they did this, with no acceptable defense.
"It's time for Republicans to go back to the drawing board and put people over politics. We need to work together to strengthen healthcare, not tear it apart to simply fulfill a campaign promise."

…. (nope, not Susan) Innovation
That's my aim for Learning Technologies this year.
I've spent the last couple of years attending/speaking at the Learning Technologies conference but if I'm honest, I haven't really taken the time to dig into the exhibition as much as I should have done.
This year is different.
This year I will actually be participating in the exhibition myself, so armed with that physical immersion and the fact that I don't have access to the conference upstairs, I will be spending some quality time looking around the various exhibitors in the hope of spotting something 'innovative'.
So how do I define 'innovative'?
Well to be honest I haven't got a definition, but I have got a gut feeling. A few weeks ago, I was engaged in an exchange of tweets within my network of tweets around what innovation was and it became quite clear that people had very or subtly different definitions – and why wouldn't they?
The sending of automated text messaging to learners ahead of an event may in some people's eyes seem innovative, however to others it's 'old school'.
Many of us may see Augmented Reality as innovative, but military aircrew, in particular pilots, will tell you that Head Up Displays (HUDs) have been augmenting their reality for many, many years.
I'm definitely more open this year to seeing something out of the ordinary and a few vendors have already made some interesting statements about what they will be unveiling; but I'll wait until I've seen it for myself before giving my post-event thoughts within this blog.
What I'm pretty sure of is that another rapid authoring tool, LMS or ingeniously 'tarted up' next button won't be getting a mention.
If you're heading down to the conference, what are you looking for?
Tried and tested solutions?
A 'safe' proposition for your budget holder?
Tarted up 'click next' stuff?
Or something a little different…….

In the weight room, don't be fooled by players who are always pumping iron. It takes a lot more than big muscles to succeed in college sports. Players are becoming more agile, and developing superior game skills every year. You need to develop muscle strength as well, it's true, but your primary focus in weight training should be to use the equipment to help you develop strength along a natural range of motion.
If your school doesn't have advanced machinery in the weight room, you're better off using free weights, and pulley systems that allow you to copy the same motions you make when playing. A few simple exercises done right can replace thousands of dollars of weight-room equipment. Good, old-fashioned push-ups, with a clap in the air every other rep, will do wonders to increase your chest and triceps. Chin-ups will increase your biceps, and pull-downs will bring out your lats.

Bannon's last-minute, anti-establishment plea to Alabama voters
Jonathan Swan
Steve Bannon went — as Steve Bannon might say — "buck wild" inside a barn in Fairhope, Alabama, last night. He was there to rally support for Roy Moore, who faces incumbent Republican Senator Luther Strange in today's special election. Trump was in Alabama last week hosting a rally for Strange (the same rally at which he began his tirade against the NFL), but that didn't change Bannon's mind on which candidate to support.

Look at this colorful Sculpture in the Park and see if you can figure out what it is made out of…
If you said "Flip Flops" you're correct! It's Flip Flop Art.
From a distance it looks like a colorful blob without any texture, like maybe it's a blow-up display.
As you get closer you begin to notice more color, texture, and layering.
Curious, you can't help but wonder what this is all about and you want to know more.
It's only when you get really close and pay attention that you realize it isn't what you thought it was. It's actually something complex and creative, that required a lot of thought and creativity to make it special and unique.
Sound like any anybody you know?
On the surface or from a distance, things aren't always what they appear to be. It's only when you spend a little time getting to know something or somebody can you fully appreciate what they're all about.
Like the sculpture in the park.

February 3rd, 2012
Episode 328 of 429 episodes
It got loud when NPR Music live webcast these full concerts from two of the grittiest rock duos of the past decade, The Kills and JEFF The Brotherhood. Each band has an outsize sound, fueled by deafening guitar noise and trashy rhythms, and is known for feverish but playful live performances. JEFF The Brotherhood opened the webcast from Washington, D.C.'s 9:30 Club, followed by The Kills. Singer-guitarist Alison Mosshart and drummer Jamie Hince formed The Kills in 2001 after bonding over their shared love of blues- and punk-infused garage rock. Their fourth and most recent record, 2011's Blood Pressure — released after Mosshart heightened her profile alongside Jack White in The Dead Weather — is full of sex and swagger, dark guitar riffs and twisted beats. Real-life brothers Jake and Jamin Orrall founded the duo JEFF The Brotherhood in Nashville in 2001. Over the course of a half-dozen full-length albums, they've built a reputation on distorted, noisy rock with a wry sense of humor. For the band's Tiny Desk performance at the NPR Music offices, they insisted on removing their shirts for what they called "a sad love song," which was immediately followed by plenty of guitar shredding and messy beats. No promises on whether the duo will shirt-up for Thursday's live webcast.

* No parking pass is needed; our meetings will be held in the rooms adjoining the café. Pro Combat is our primary meeting space with an overflow room next door if we exceed capacity.
* Here is a map with the café door marked for access so you don't end up waiting for access to an unauthorized badged area ;):
Food Options* Onsite, the Evergreen Café provides modest choices at affordable prices including vegan and gluten free options beyond the salad bar.
* The coffee/smoothie cart along the window opposite our meeting spaces offers beer and wine after 11:30.
* You may bring a brown-bag lunch to this space if you prefer but no microwave is available so plan accordingly.
* After lunch, the tray\dish return is along the hallway behind the cafe.
* Restrooms are next to the tray\dish return.
Community Agreements* Food is cafeteria style and attendees desiring to eat will need to collect it, pay for it, and bring it to our event space which is right off the main seating area.
* We focus on Agile principles, practices, frameworks, methods, and techniques, not project specifics unless attendees or presenters volunteer those specifics in alignment with their organization's policies. And, what happens at the cafe stays at the cafe.
* AgilePDX representatives will coordinate and facilitate sessions to support starting on time, ending on time, topic focus, and community building and engagement.
* This event is a no-host event similar to other AgilePDX events and is not a forum for commercial entities to or sell products or services. However, everyone is welcome as a member of this learning community.
* In appreciation of agile leaders at Nike welcoming community involvement and exposure to new ideas, we leave the space they have provided as we found it--or better.

LEGO The Lord of the Rings
Using red bricks?
I have bought x2 and x4 red bricks, but they dont seem to be working, is there something I need to do to activate them?
magpie1950 - 4 years ago
First you need to pause the game and then select extras. Go to your multipliers and if they say no that means that theyre off and u need to press the button "A" to turn them on. Now when you collect studs the difference should be noticeable but if you still see no difference here's a test: walk up to a silver stud (do not collect it yet) and look at your total amount of studs. Add 80 to that and then collect the stud. If the scores match, the multipliers are on because a silver stud is usually worth 10 but with the 2 and 4 multipliers it would be worth 80

Discover your hidden talents
Techniquest Glyndŵr (TQG) is North Wales' largest science discovery centre engaging with over 60,000 people annually, both on-site at Glyndŵr University in Wrexham and off-site as outreach throughout North Wales, North-West England and the Midlands. It has exciting and ambitious plans to extend its education provision, working in partnership with employers and teachers.
TQG's location on a University campus, and its relationships with the Welsh Government, Glyndŵr University and Techniquest Cardiff, has created a unique partnership in the field of science communication. This has allowed the centre to evolve into a facility that offers a far wider range of activities, including access to specialist facilities and expertise, than would be possible as a stand-alone science discovery centre. TQG's development and success will be influenced by harnessing the opportunities this provides.
As part of the continued development of the business, TQG is looking to recruit a team of experienced science centre professionals to ensure the continued delivery and development of STEM engagement, CPD activities, funded projects, and activities for educational and public audiences.

Long distance girlfriend wants to go poly
View Single Post

MonoVCPHG! I've been perusing your posts (on other threads) with great interest. I don't know if I have the strength, quite frankly. I want to see her happy, but I wouldn't stay in the relationship just for her sake. I think I can honestly say I'd take a bullet for that woman, but taking a bullet is easy because it's quick and painless. I'm not sure I could submit myself to a situation where I'd be quietly suffering my lot just to make her happy (nor do I think she could be happy under such circumstances) or for the occasional happy moment. Of course a relationship is not always happy; it's very much about the *unhappy* moments, too. From my current perspective, it's about finding out whether I'm "too mono" for this or not... and if I am and if the situation turns out to be too painful, I'll seriously thinking about ending the relationship. But right now, I see no reason to jump the gun. Why give up something so wonderful out of fear of being hurt? Why not first find out whether I or she (or the other he) can handle it? For both of us, this is unknown territory, and we both have to wait and see how we respond and adapt to the new situation. And reading about poly relationships and discussing it with others has already helped me a lot.
However, you do raise a very important question that's been on my mind: how does "commitment" pan out in a long-distance poly relationship? My girlfriend has been very wonderful in sending me reassuring messages these past couple of days, but of course when left to my own devices I do feel, well, not forsaken but I certainly do find myself wondering about my presence in her mind ... before she "rediscovered" it, I had this permanent sense of me thinking about her and her thinking about me, and we'd tell each other how we'd wander through the streets and smile because we were thinking about each other. And I believe it's going to be much harder to sustain this in the coming months. I find it also really hard not to over-worry and over-interpret signs... maybe you've made similar experiences, Mono? You know, you look at the way she phrases certain things, the way she chooses to respond to certain things you say, and you immediately start asking yourself whether it's a signal that something's different... I'm still trying to wrap my heart around the notion of love as something that's not measurable... about notions of sufficiency, or "secondary" not necessarily meaning "less loved"... I can understand these things rationally, but my gut doesn't process them as easily.
In any case, I'll let you know if I find the strength. I certainly hope so. But judging by some of the responses I'm getting, I better brace myself. And the most feasible way to do that right now seems to me to talk a lot and be open and honest and read and learn.

Find info concerning Los Angeles City College ticket office, and registering for discussion sections and departmental electives. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. Then get a copy of the schedule of classes, so you can plan a workable weekly schedule for yourself. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Los Angeles City College Theatre Studies information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Los Angeles City College.
Not all people working as actors in film, television, or theater are professionally trained. For example, Bob Hoskins didn't have any formal training before taking up acting. Universities may offer drama programs derived from the system of Constantine Stanislavski, which was popularized in America by Lee Strasberg and Stella Adler. Regardless of a school's approach, students should study human emotions, character interpretation, voice and dance.
While most modern theatre companies rehearse only one new piece of theatre at a time, and then perform that piece for a set run, retire the piece, repertory companies often rehearse multiple shows at once. Repertory theatre involves a group of accomplished actors, and relies more on the reputation of the group, rather than on an individual star performer. Further, actors who have worked together in several productions can respond to each other's nonverbal cues without relying as much on external direction or adherence to theatrical conventions. Beyond consideration for Los Angeles City College ticket office, you may think about UW Platteville calendar for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

The story is this: Dave and Cheryl Duffield adopted their miniature schnauzer Maddie when she was a tiny puppy, and she became a loyal, loved member of their family.
One day in 1994, Dave Duffield was playing with Maddie as his software company PeopleSoft was just getting off the ground. He picked up his small dog and said, "If we ever make some money, I promise we will give it back to you and your kind so others can be as happy as we are today."
PeopleSoft was plenty successful, of course, and the Duffields kept their promise. For the past 15 years, the Pleasanton-based Maddie's Fund has been providing money for various pursuits — hands-on animal care, research, education — in the name of "revolutionizing the status and well-being of companion animals."
The ultimate goal, said Maddie's Fund president Rich Avanzino, is to "empty the shelters," and to ensure that, one day, no animal is ever put to death in one.
"It's a dream all animal lovers have had," said Avanzino, Maddie's Fund president since its inception. "We want to find homes not only for the 'cute and cuddlies,' but the 'old and uglies,' too."
To that end, Maddie's Fund holds its annual Pet Adoption Days, this year on Saturday and Sunday, May 31 and June 1, at almost 100 shelters and pet/pet supplies stores throughout the Bay Area.
Maddie's Fund dollars, Avanzino said, go to those shelters and agencies (who often set up shop at pet businesses on weekend days) to pay for spaying/neutering, immunizations, adoption fees and — sometimes — other medical costs that the adopting family would typically have to pay.
That amount is typically from $50 to $250 per animal, he said.
Maddie's Fund has earmarked $10 million to give the participating organizations in the nine states in which it operates, donating up to $2,000 for every dog or cat adopted during the two days.
This funding helps the groups save and treat more animals throughout the year.
Jesse, a young cat found alongside a Martinez road recently, had a broken leg, among other injuries. Jesse was treated for his injuries by Contra Costa-based Community Concern for Cats. Candace Olsen, past president of that group, said Jesse will be at Pet Food Express in Lafayette this weekend as part of the Maddie's Fund event there.
"Most people don't realize that our fee doesn't even come close to paying the cost of rescuing a cat … So the funds from Maddie's Days allows us to do more rescues all year long," Olsen said.
Adoption events are going on all over the Bay Area, and beyond, Saturday and Sunday. To find the nearest event, go to http://adopt.maddiesfund.org/participants/bay-area/, and click on the county you're interested in.

Windsor residents and businesses face $70 fine if snow isn't shoveled off sidewalks within 24 hours
February 22, 2014
Memo to Windsor residents and business owners who don't want a lighter wallet: Shovel your sidewalks when it snows.
Those who haven't shoveled their sidewalks within 24 hours of a snowstorm this winter are being hit with fines. Failure to remove snow or ice within 24 hours of a snowstorm results in a $70 fine.
According to police reports, from Jan. 7-10, six residents and two businesses were socked with fines.
After a Jan. 28 snowstorm, seven residents were hit with fines Jan. 29. At least four more residents were issued fines from Feb. 3-7.
"What the ordinance allows is that after the storm is over with or after it stops snowing, they're supposed to have the snow removed from their sidewalks within 24 hours," said Windsor police Lt. Richard Higuera. "Reason being is we get a lot of complaints. Kids walk to school. People walk to the businesses. If it's left untended, then it becomes icy, and we don't want any slips and falls. We don't want people breaking a hip. Twenty-four hours, after it stops snowing is sufficient time for somebody to get it cleared. The way we do it is our ordinance people look at it."
Higuera said if citizens call in and make the police aware of the spot, they'll send ordinance officers out to take a look at it.

"If they're not clearing it, we'll usually encourage them to get it taken care of without any ticketing. Usually they get a warning, but it's not required," Higuera said. "If they don't do it, the Town will go ahead and have it removed and we give them a ticket for not removing it."
Higuera said it's been a bad winter so far.
"This year has been bad because we've had snowstorm after snowstorm," he said.
He said the fine portion is $70, and that doesn't include the cost the town has to pay the contractor to remove the snow if the resident or business owner doesn't do so in a timely manner.
"The real simple answer is just remove your snow," Higuera said. "Most of the instances where we have ended up ticketing is (other) people have called saying they're not taking the snow off. People really have an interest in that."

Discussion in 'Social Life, Food & Drink, Travel' started by Fabienne, Jan 31, 2005.
Made 2 different red mullet dishes tonight, both different styles.
First, "Fish and Chips":
Satisfying. Garlic and parsley work well with the mullet.
Second, I cut open and boned the fish, then stuffed it with herbs and a slice of orange. Pan-fried in olive oil and served it with a simple salad and a vinaigrette. I thought this preparation really let the great flavors of the fish come through. And I think orange works well with Rouget.
Really not a bad meal for a little over 8 bucks.
The second one looks nice. First one looks weird.
What are you doing with all this skill MM? Have you found a rich broad to take you in yet? You applied to the CIA?
Weird? It looks a lot of things, but weird is not one of them. It is about as normal as you can get.
Good questions, Rambo. I will be sure to let you know when I have the answers.
It does not look like it would be served at a PF Chang's, thus, it is not "normal". Your move, sir.
That is a very "Rambo" answer. You and I seem to have more in common than I would have guessed. Interesting...
I had something you would have recognized as food for dinner tonight. You should have come by.
He's rich too, could have caught a last minute first class flight.
A childhood friend of mine was a carpenter for a time and did some work at Bren's house. An art appraiser was there one day and was walking around dumbfounded at the quality of the collection - apparently one of the great privately held collections of it's kind (modern?) in the world.
I would love nothing more than to compliment your wife on her cooking skills. The photos of her meals have been quite extraordinary.
just ate a baguette with some salami and cheese, 6am beer drinking snack. Bakery has a weird unfortunate name:
Happy hour at Grand Luxe Cafe tonight - sliders, taquitos, and quesadillas.
Yesterday - happy hour at Grand Luxe Cafe - wings and fried shimpy things.
Grand Luxe, really? That's the Cheesecake Factory's slightly hotter, but still ugly, sister.
Where you are at tonight is much better.
I've never heard of the Grande Luxe Cafe. Though, I'll admit that the shrimp and bacon club at The Cheesecake Factory is totally worth any shame involved in dining there.
Tonight was great - they were having a HUGE IT company party there and I gate crashed it. Grouper, steak, indian food (SO MANY INDIANS), AND FREE DRINKS. Then we saw a fashion show with a bunch of hot models.
Separate names with a comma.

A dark and malevolent force has invaded the normally tranquil world of Shenandoah County, a small, rural community located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.
Emma Howard is living her dream. She has just graduated from veterinary school and returned to her hometown to accept a position as an equine veterinarian with her friend and mentor, Dr. Adam Waller. Best of all, her boyfriend and fellow veterinarian, Chase Reynolds, has accompanied her. Emma's dream soon turns into a nightmare as she and Chase become victims of escalating acts of hostility. Someone doesn't like the fact that Emma is dating a black man and is determined to put an end to it.
John "Cowboy" Howard, retired national rodeo champion and owner of Wild Pony Ranch, loves his daughter and will do anything to protect her. When the sheriff's office fails to produce results John launches his own investigation and finds himself chasing an elusive and relentless foe. Time is running out and John is forced to consider some questions for which he has no answers. How far will this bigot or hate group go in their harassment of Emma and Chase? Who could be behind this? A greedy developer who has his eye on Wild Pony Ranch? Zealous members of a local evangelical church? A white supremacist group?

Hard times have descended upon Shenandoah County, Virginia. The paper mill has cut back to one shift and is barely hanging on. Businesses are closing, no longer able to attract customers. For Sale signs abound, reflecting the fear and desperation of homeowners. There are no buyers other than the bank which continues to fatten its portfolio of foreclosed properties.
When Richmond Lomax arrives in Shenandoah County the local citizens think they have found the answer to their prayers. Purportedly the scion of an old Virginia family, Mr. Lomax has big plans for this small county in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. As CEO of Southeastern Land and Development Company, Lomax intends to build an exclusive five star resort and spa. The project will bring badly needed jobs to the county.
A problem soon emerges. The parcel of land the developer wants for his project is Wild Pony Ranch, and John "Cowboy" Howard, owner of the ranch, is not about to sell. John and his family quickly find themselves estranged from people in the community who blame the ranch owner for their plight. When the estrangement escalates to open hostility and violence John knows he needs to find the answers to some troubling questions:
Who is behind the violence directed at him and his family?
Who is Richmond Lomax and why does he want to build a luxurious resort in a small, rural county mired in a deep recession?
Where is Lomax getting the money for such an unlikely project?
John finds himself in a race against time as tensions mount and Shenandoah County stares into the abyss of moral and financial bankruptcy.

Meanwhile, William Toms is trying to convince Salem to donate his property to the environmental group he represents.
When Salem makes it clear he has no intention of giving up his land he becomes the target of open hostility. As he begins to realize his life is in danger Salem sends out a call for reinforcements.

New Delhi, May 25 (ANI): President Pratibha Devisingh Patil, who will be visiting China from May 26-31 to deepen and expand strategic and cooperative partnership, will be the first Indian head of state to visit that country in a decade.
President Patil's visit coincides with the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between India and China.
Minister of Food Processing Industries Subodh Kant Sahay, Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao and a business delegation will accompany her.
"This visit is the first by an Indian Head of State to China in a decade, the last one being in 2000 by the then President K.R. Narayanan. From the Chinese side, President Hu Jintao paid a state visit to India in November 2006," said Rao.
Commenting on growing Sino-India relations, she said: "India China relations are characterized by regular high-level exchanges, which are proposed to be maintained and even enhanced.
"In the preceding months, our Prime Minister met with President Hu Jintao at Yeketerinburg in June last year and again at Brasilia in April this year. He had very good exchange of views with Premier Wen Jiabao on the sidelines of the East Asia Summit in October 2009, and during the 16th Summit of the Conference of Parties on Climate Change at Copenhagen in December 2009."
The Foreign Secretary said that developing friendly cooperation with China has been one of the priorities of India's foreign policy and, New Delhi is pleased that relations are becoming truly multifaceted.
President Patil, on the first leg of her visit in Beijing, will have extensive talks with President Hu Jintao who will also be hosting a State Banquet in her honour on May 27.
She will meet with other senior most leaders of China, including the Chairman of the National People's Congress Wu Bangguo, Premier Wen Jiabao and Chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference Jia Qinglin.
President Patil will also visit the historic city of Luoyang in China's central Henan Province on May 29 to inaugurate an Indian-style Buddhist shrine in the famous White Horse Monastery. She will dedicate it as a gift from the people of India to the people of China.
Luoyang has special association with India, as the first two Indian Buddhist monks to China lived and worked in the monastery there under imperial patronage in the first century A.D.
In the last leg of the tour, President Patil will visit Shanghai. She will also address a business meeting to be attended by captains of industry of both countries.
The President will also interact with the Indian community in China. This interaction will be in Shanghai. She will also unveil a statue of Rabindranath Tagore on Shanghai's main avenue. By Praful Kumar Singh (ANI)

How I Stated An easy Alkaline Promoting Food Plan For Beginners
Every beginner, at some point, struggles with where and how to start with an Alkaline diet meal planning. For years we have been lead to believe that what we eat does not have a direct correlation to our health. We as melanated people have been told for ages, and many of us have accepted that theory which falsely states that because of genetics we are more prone to an extended range of diseases. Diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, heart disease and stroke are some of the common conditions that are plaguing our communities, we have got to pay more attention to what we put in our bodies and try to make appropriate adjustment to heal ourselves.
I have first to say that I was not entirely restricted to only alkaline foods when I began my vegan transition because I knew that it was not practical for my lifestyle at the time. My method incorporates eating two high alkaline promoting foods for everyone one low acid-promoting food in every meal. Now, let find out what an alkaline diet is, an alkaline diet is incorporating more high alkaline forming food in the body into your daily meals. Today I have succeeded in elimination all non-alkaline foods from my diet, and I am happier, healthier, full of energy, even my state of mind has dramatically improved since becoming 100% vegan. It will be tough at the beginning of your journey, but when you fundamentally understand that the food that we ingest serves as a healing component when we only eat foods that come from nature that hasn't been tempered with. Our foods can also serve as poison if we insist on eating processed food for a long time.
The foods you're going to eat on the alkaline diet are whole foods that are nutrient dense made by nature primarily to nourish your mind body and soul. These foods will include lots of fruits, vegetables, and plenty of water. You can start with little changes like adding alkaline rich foods like quinoa, walnuts, mushrooms, bell peppers, kale, and mangos, that will not alter your overall eating habit. A great resource that helped me understand the high power of eating well was DR, Sebi. Look him up either youtube of Google; there is a great wealth of importation on him that you can find which will help you understand the connection between food and health. Let all take responsibility for our lives and our help raise a generation of free thinkers and a healthy state of mind because at the end of the day real wealth is excellent health.
I find that substituting your foods with more alkaline-forming food that will not modify the taste of the meals that you are accustomed to is key. Below I have included some high alkaline food items that you can add or substitute within your food preparation.
Here are some examples of High Alkaline forming foods below
Vegetables: mushrooms, okra, onions, peppers, kale, artichoke, and lettuce, etc
Fruits: watermelon, grapes, bananas, orange, pears, peach, mangos e.t.c
Spices: cilantro, ginger, parsley, thyme
Proteins: walnut, pine nut, hemp seed

JIMMIE JOHNSON, NO. 48 LOWE'S CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO: WHAT DID IT MEAN TO YOU TO WIN YOUR FIRST WINSTON CUP RACE AT CALIFORNIA? "Last year we were running well and competing for wins, but we didn't expect to win that soon or that early into the...
WHAT DID IT MEAN TO YOU TO WIN YOUR FIRST WINSTON CUP RACE AT CALIFORNIA? "Last year we were running well and competing for wins, but we didn't expect to win that soon or that early into the season. We had hoped that by the end of the year we were going to be a contender for race wins. But, when it all came together - to win in my home state - it couldn't have gone any better for me. I couldn't have dreamt it to be any better. It was such a cool thing to win in my home state and have my friends and family in the stands - like I said, it couldn't have gone any better.
"Looking at coming back this year - last year we won the first Dover and race had a few of those feelings that come along with coming back as the defending race champion, and went back and was able to do it again. So, hopefully we'll keep that record up and come back and repeat again in Fontana. Again, I'm going to have all my family and friends and all that extra motivation from being in my home state to go out and win again."
IS THERE ALSO EXTRA PRESSURE THAT COMES WITH RACING IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY IN YOUR HOME STATE? "No - and, I say that now and I'm not there, yet - but, there is so much pressure every week and so much on the line that it's not going to be too different than a normal weekend, I don't think. The great thing, obviously, is that we ran well there before and we run well on the bigger tracks. We really run well everywhere, but we should be right where we left off last year, I hope - competing for the pole and for the win."
ON ROAD COURSE RACING IN NASCAR "I like them. I they're a nice addition to our season. I wish we had a couple more so that we could also get a little better at them. It seems like we have our two and by the time we get to Watkins Glen for the second one we all remember how to road course race again and we're done with them.
"I think it's cool. It adds a lot to our sport. Our drivers in Winston Cup are some of the best in the world. I like that we can show what kind of talent we have on a road course, as well as ovals."
HOW MUCH TIME WILL YOU SPEND PREPARING FOR THE FIRST ROAD COURSE EVENT AT SEARS POINT? "We're building new cars and we're going to test some cars at a local track back here in Virginia to get a feel for things. But, we won't come out and test at Sears Point this year or at Watkins Glen. We have our hands tied even more this year. We only have five tests that we're allowed to do, so we're real limited. We're going to have to use some other tracks to get our brakes testing in and road course testing in."
DO YOU FEEL MORE AT EASE THIS YEAR? "Yeah. A year under your belt - I don't care what it is - it makes a big difference. You know what to worry about, what not to worry about. I found last year I really lived day to day and had a lot of unneeded stress that came along with that. This year has been a lot calmer and more relaxed."
HOW ARE YOU BALANCING EVERYTHING THIS YEAR? "I just handle it day by day. Luckily, we're able to sit down as a whole with the sponsor and the team and say, 'Alright, this is what we're looking at for tests, this is what we're looking at for appearances.' Then, there are some obligations through NASCAR that I have and some other personal sponsors. We try to lay it out in a way to where it makes sense and we're not running ourselves into the ground, trying to attend all these things and do these things. That's been pretty important. This month and next month are probably going to be my busiest months of the year. But, we're trying to actually get some of the stuff on the front side - some of our obligations out of the way, so that at the end of the year when we don't have an off-weekend and we're all short on energy and all the things that come along with a long season, we don't have a lot of extra commitments to make."
AS A ROOKIE, HOW MUCH DID THE WEAR AND TEAR OF THE SEASON GRIND ON YOU?) "It wore on me a lot more than I thought it did. When you're in it day to day, you feel like you're managing and everything is taking care of itself. But, the year really took a lot more out of me than I had ever expected. It's just a long year. The experience this year that I bring over, I'm realizing that you really just need to position yourself until September. In September is when you really need to pour it on. That's what Tony did last year and the way Jeff has won championships in the past. So, we - as a team - are really just trying to relax, do what we can, chill out, get what we can every week and when we get to September, try to step it up and see who can step up with us. Hopefully, we'll be able to step up ahead of everybody."
WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH JEFF GORDON THIS YEAR? "It's really the same. He's a friend, a team owner, a teammate, a boss - he's got them all wrapped up in one. It's cool to be competing with him. To be on the same team in some respects - we work so well together, we drive a very similar setup, we look out for one another on the racetrack and work well together. It's really been a very similar situation as last year."
ON THE PROSPECT OF CALIFORNIA GETTING A SECOND DATE "Growing up out there on the west coast, Indy car racing and off-road racing a motocross racing were the big things. I never was that interested in NASCAR until I got older and was around it, and that's because they don't have a lot of races out there. I think the more races we get out to the west coast, there are a lot of race fans out there that are craving this and wanting this. The more dates that we can have out there - even if it's just another track in the area or something - but, we need more west coast dates. There is a huge fan base out there that is wanting it. I'm glad to hear that California is being considered as an option."
DOES THAT MEAN THAT THE WEST COAST NEEDS MORE TRACKS? "The way I see it, a great situation working out is every track has one date and we go to a new place every week. We run into problems now where tracks have two dates and neither one of their events are sold out because the novelty is gone.
"You can go to the spring or the fall - 'whichever, no big deal.' If you only had one and it was the 'the' event - that one event everywhere would be sold out. They could build more grandstands and really blow out that one weekend a year. That is kind of my observation. That way we hit as many markets in as many states as possible.
"Plus, I don't think we need to lose Martinsville and Darlington and Rockingham. Those tracks have a lot of heritage and they've really brought the sport to where it is today, so I think it's a good compromise to keep the old tracks around then bring in new ones that will make everybody happy."
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE THE SCHEDULE CUT DOWN? "Without a doubt. Twenty or 25 races a year would be plenty. But, I just don't see that happening. There is no way they'd go back on the events. There won't ever be any less, so we're stuck with it. It's a young man's sport in a lot of ways or a young woman's sport in a lot of ways. The drivers - we have the luxuries of private airplanes and great travel accommodations, getting hurried in and out and staying in our nice motorhomes. But, these crew guys that are out of school, trying to buy their first home, trying to start a family, newly married - these guys work unbelievable hours. That is who it really takes a toll on. You wish that everybody would have a little more time at home to have a life."
DO YOU BELIEVE THAT ONE REASON YOUNG DRIVERS ARE DOING WELL IN NASCAR IS BECAUSE THEY CAME IN WITH A 'CLEAN SHEET OF PAPER?' "I definitely do. There is a lot of truth to. Engineering and aerodynamics - there are so many advantages in that that outweigh the old school setups and mechanical grip that we used to look for. Coming in with an open mind is every helpful. It does a lot. A good example is the '24' car last year at Dover. The year before he dominated there. He would be foolish to not come back with the same setup. But, times changed so much in the course of a year that we came back with a totally different setup off the wall. Jeff runs in the top five somewhere. The second race he came back with the same setup as what we had. But, things change so quick and if you don't keep an open mind to it you can get stuck in a rut and have times pass you up."
IS THERE ANY DANGER IN ENGINEERS ARE GOING TO OVERCOME THE SPORT? "I don't think so in NASCAR. We're not allowed to have anything electronic on the race cars under race conditions. We don't even have fuel injection. There are so many different things so that we're not allowed to sneak in driver aids in any way, shape or form that it really is left up to the driver. The things we learn on technology, you can't ever take that away form us. That just keeps making parity and in some ways, taking away from the racing, I think. But, that's the one thing we have working for us is that driver element. There will never be any driver aids. There will never be any traction control or launch control or any of this other stuff you see that takes the driver's skill out of the cars. I think that is going to be the best thing helping us."
HOW MUCH DO YOU FEEL YOU'VE GROWN AS A DRIVER IN A YEAR? "It just keeps growing so much that I'm still on the rapid spike up. There are just different things you learn. Now, coming back with a little bit of confidence and security in my abilities and where I fit in the sport, I'm able to really look at things in a different light without feeling that extreme pressure and stuff that I felt last year. I'm a much different driver, a much smarter driver than I was last year. Hopefully, it will all come together for us at the end."
ARE YOU AS COMFORTABLE IN STOCK CARS AS YOU WERE IN OFF-ROAD STUFF? "I am now. I've learned the cars enough and understand the aero games that go on in traffic when you're following someone. There are just a lot of weird things that exist in stock cars that you never saw in the off-road. It's vice-versa, I guess. I'm very comfortable in these cars now and I feel at home."
HOW LONG DID IT TAKE TO FIND THAT COMFORT LEVEL? "I would say from '97, when I first drove a stock car, to midway through last year. Mid to late last year is when it really started to feel second nature to me."
ON OVER-DRIVING THESE CARS "You can over-drive these race cars. It's not like an Indy car or an F-1 car where the harder you drive it through the corner the more downforce it creates and just sticks the car to the ground. We don't have ground effects or wings on these cars. I think where 'sophomore slumps' come into play in our sport in NASCAR is your second year you get a lot more confident, you're not scared of the speeds, you're not scared of the cars and you just drive the car over its limits. When I came into the sport, I was able to hit that sweet spot relatively quick. I've been trying to hold on to that mentality of aggression - what that limit was. It's real easy to get over it. The more times you come to these tracks, you're not scared of anything. It's just second nature, so it's real hard to remember where that sweet spot is. I'm trying to make a conscious effort of that every week."
ARE YOUNG DRIVERS MORE SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T TAKEN A HARD HIT YET? "I've hit my fair share of walls. I had a pretty bad one at Watkins Glen a few years ago. Just like anything, when you're younger you really don't think about things, you don't have as much on the line and you might take more risks. Luckily, I'm young right now and I don't have to worry about that. But, maybe some day down the road, you think twice about your family and your kids and other things that are out. We all know how hard it is when you get older to recover from things. Maybe that weighs into your mind. It hasn't been in mine, yet, and I hope it doesn't ever."
WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO A KID THAT WANTS TO GO WINSTON CUP RACING? "It's a long, hard road. There are so many times when I didn't see that it was going to work or know how it was going to work, and it still did somehow. It's about drive and determination. Really, the biggest thing too, to be more specific - is about people.
"I just was trying to meet as many people as I could. I did a lot of things that weren't in a race car or around a race car. Chevrolet took me to events and introduced me around and met people. They got to know my face and name and got to know my personality. At the time, I didn't see how any of that was going to help me. But, once it all came together, it really did and I'm very thankful for it. I knew Rick Hendrick and he was watching me from a meeting that I had had with him when I was 19 years old when I met, and I had no idea that he ever remembered who I was. But, he still paid attention and kept a close eye on me."
