I grew up in - in Mexico. I love Mexico. I love San Luis, my town. Some friends, you know, I'm USA, yeah, I'm a USA citizen.

I took a gander at this quote. The immigrant said that he loves his town,and his friends and he would like to stay in mexico. This is perfectly understandable. America makes it seem as though once your in,there is nothing else. There was nothing before and there wont be anything after. There are countries of equal significance or even more. All we have to do is look a bit further and we will see the truth.

I had no idea so many people legally crossed the borders in one day. I always thought by the stereotypical way people always talked about it, that only illegal immigrants could come in because it was so difficult for people to do it legally.
-
Wow, 40000 to 50000 people a day during peak time along just to cross the border for work is more than said for. I can imagine a line of cars waiting to get through the border every morning and evening. Like an never ending line of people, thirsty, hungry and exhausted.

Mayor ESCAMILLA: Right now, we're on Main Street and you can see that there's some farm workers right now.
-
Tens of thousands of Mexicans legally cross every day. Many pick produce in southern Arizona's vast farm fields, and all of them cross the border on San Luis's Main Street.

And usually at three o'clock in the morning you'll see the buses that park in the business parking lot. They'll just park there and wait for the workers.

they really like it a lot. Unidentified Man #7: (Spanish spoken) Ms. ESCAMILLA: (Through translator) And with that, they go to the fields to work really happy. Mr. SILVA: I work in the farm before in Mexico, but I started to work in the United States (unintelligible) 17 years old. When 1986, my wife, she passed away. I lose my car, I lose my pickup, I lose my small beans I had. I lose everything. And now I feel like my life is over. I don't see a reason to live. And these guy, he offered me to cross his car, and he put 30 pounds of dope inside. When I'm coming to cross the borderline over here in San Luis, Arizona, the officer, he saw me nervous with the way I speak to him. So, when the guy opened the trunk, he (unintelligible). In prison, I'm going to the book library and I find the bible and I start to read it. I never speak English the way I'm speaking to you now, never.

You've got thousands of people coming across every single day just to commute to work.
-
Yeah, because you're working 14, 16 hours a day.
-
I agree with Nicole, that is more than a normal working day of a 9-5 job. 14 to 16 hours a day is intense work. I'd be tired, hungry and bored.
-
Wow that's like going to work at 6 am and coming back at 10 pm.. I don't think I could handle that.
-
Those people are working really hard just so they can have food on their tables and be able to live. Working 14-16 hours is insane. It's way more than a normal day. I think I can work for that long, maybe. I wouldn't mind as long as I get a good paycheck.

Global demand for the fruit has expanded rapidly in recent years, and açaí is now cultivated for that purpose primarily.

According to ABC News correspondent Susan Donaldson, these products have not been evaluated (in the United States) by the FDA, and their efficacy is questionable.
-
A study in 12 healthy fasted human volunteers demonstrated that blood antioxidant capacity was increased within two hours after consumption of a commercial açaí juice beverage or applesauce.
-
When three commercially available juice mixes containing unspecified percentages of açaí juice were compared for in vitro antioxidant capacity against red wine, tea, six types of pure fruit juice, and pomegranate juice, the average antioxidant capacity was ranked lower than that of pomegranate juice, Concord grape juice, blueberry juice, and red wine

Marketers of these products, such as Monarch Health Sciences, parent company of MonaVie, make claims that açaí provides increased energy levels, improved sexual performance, improved digestion, detoxification, high fiber content, improved skin appearance, improved heart health, improved sleep, and reduction of cholesterol levels.

Quackwatch noted that "açai juice has only middling levels of antioxidants—less than that of Concord grape, blueberry, and black cherry juices, but more than cranberry, orange, and apple juices."

Report from Haiti: Desperate Call for Aid with Rescue Equipment, Medicine, Food & Water... - 0 views

I didn’t see a single aid worker or a single official aid convoy from the Haitian government or from an aid agency or from the peacekeeping force that’s here, the United Nations.

I think that some parts of the city do have electricity. Also phone service is really spotty, but occasionally it seems to work. I’ve been able to receive a few calls and, just on occasion, make a call out. But many times, there is no service.

And I talked to people there, and many of the children were just immediately crushed.
-
When I heard this, I just wanted to cry. Little children, younger than I am, lost their lives in an instant. No one know what is going to happen in the future, but I just feel like I can't really do anything for these dead children and their families. I wish I could.

I...I really felt sad when I read this. It's unforunate that these children died at such a young age and so violently at that.

are still in the streets trying to stay away from houses and walls and buildings that can further collapse, buildings that are fragile.

There was just a state of panic in the streets, people screaming, people running every which way.

Were is everyone at where is the international help and they need it wether or not there is any central government there is still need and they are still people so there is a thing called caring and duty.

I think that people will be running around and they will be panicing because, they are scared and they don't know what to do.

I was down at the prison yesterday, as well. And, you know, people were concerned with the fact that prisoners escaped. There was a woman there whose son was inside the prison at the time of the earthquake, and he was gone. She was looking for him. The prison is entirely empty. The roof just seems to have disappeared, sort of collapsed in on the building. And I believe there was a fire there, as well. Parts of the building were charred. So I think it’s, you know, a state of chaos in really different parts of the city.

Everyone Needs Therapy: Borderline Personality Disorder and The Fake - 0 views
-
I'm learning more about "personality" right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is:"Why do I always feel so lonely?" and "Why do I always act so funny?" I was researching this question onine, and this blog "Borderline Personality Disorder and The Fake" caught my attention because the title attracted me and my problem is somewhat related to that title, so I think it should answer my questions. This sparked my interest because maybe I'm somewhat depressed and stressed these days so that I always think too much, which makes me want to explore more about people's inner psychology. My favorite quote in this blog is "the truth is, most people with this disorder are smart, and they can really be very funny." This quote I chose here is basically saying that people who cannot easily control their emotions actually always look funny and they are always very smart. I like this quote because I think it somewhat applies to my situation. I think this is cogent and it makes me wonder that if I am also that type of person. I always look very funny, and maybe most people think I'm smart, which isn't exactly true... but anyways, actually I'm also easy to feel lonely and I always feel that I have some sort of inner disorder or something like that, though I don't really show that on my face, so people cannot really tell. I just don't want people to think that the thing I'm annoyed with is very silly and insignificant. Yet I believe that most people always get angry at very little things, but sometimes things have different meanings to different people, so something may be insignificant to someone, but it may also be very paramount to another. Nevertheless, I have to admit that when I get annoyed with something or someone, I usually just pretend nothing has happened. And the same with things that frustrate me. I would always try to look happy and funny even if I was very depressed. Anyways I believe that it's something that most people do in this society, so it's not rea

Traditionally with people who have Borderline Personality Disorder, once they're flying, meaning angry, there's no stopping them. The anger is a manifestation of pain. If you can't see that, then there's no helping your spouse, your child, your friend, your mother, whoever it is who is unable to regulate emotion. When the plate needs shattering, it will shatter. When they need love, they'll find someone to sleep with.
