2 Walnuts
The word superfood gets tossed around in respect to walnuts more than any other nut. This basically means while we now know walnuts are nutrient-packed, we're still in the process of discovering all the benefits they can bring.
Among the latest studies was one that found that walnuts may actually enhance reasoning skills in teenagers! Considering the insane popularity of Justin Bieber, this is no small feat.
A well-publicized study in 2006 found that the fatty acids derived from regular walnut consumption decreased subjects' total cholesterol level and LDL cholesterol in short-term trials.
And you don't have to eat a tree's worth to see the benefits!
Just a quarter cup serving of walnuts daily provides almost 100 percent of the total recommended omega-3 fatty acid intake and contains just 163 calories. Just a one-ounce serving has more omega-3s than a 4 oz piece of salmon.
Walnuts also contain phytonutrients and antioxidants that are known to be helpful in reducing inflammation levels and warding off type 2 diabetes. Another interesting walnut factoid: They're a rich source of melatonin, which encourages a healthy sleep cycle.

3 Pistachios
Pistachios are also the inspiration behind the "pistachio effect, " an interesting approach to eating highlighted in a recent study at Eastern Illinois University. The authors of the study found that subjects who were offered pistachios in shells ate an average of 125 calories worth of nuts, whereas those who were offered shelled nuts consumed an average of 211 calories. However, participants on both sides rated their fullness and satisfaction the same, despite the difference in calories.
The Takeaway: Eating more slowly and mindfully can help you stick to caloric restrictions and get more satisfaction through less food. Your mother always told you that eating slowly was better for you, and here's proof mom may have been onto something. So take your time and savor this healthy comfort food!

5 Peanuts
Sometimes you learn as an adult that you had it right as a kid. That bag of nuts is definitely the healthiest thing you can eat at the ballpark!
Peanuts come in endless flavors and mixes of varying nutritional worth, but for many of us, they are still first and foremost the base of peanut butter. But not all peanut butters are created equal! When shopping, look for natural varieties with oil on top.
These varieties contain less sugar and added ingredients. Also consider making your own in your blender or food processor. It's easier than you think and there's no step down in taste.
Peanuts are one of the great energy foods, no matter if you're an athlete or a desk-jockey trying to maintain focus through a long work day. They are high in protein, dietary fiber, and antioxidants.
Consuming peanuts also reduces the chances of stroke, as they increase your natural production of nitric oxide, which dilates blood vessels.

Just Kids Dental – Sheboygan, WI
Dr. Andi Igowsky
Few kids would tell you that a dental visit is "fun" but for the pint-sized patients of Just Kids Dental, that's an accurate description. The Sheboygan, Wisconsin pediatric office is not just comfortable; it's an explosion of color and kid-friendly activities and spaces that grab the children's attention the minute they come in.
The waiting area is all about making the patients feel comfortable and happy. With bright fabrics and window treatments as well as vibrant stained glass inlays in the walls and whimsical lighting fixtures, the entrance is cheerful and bright. The waiting area features a creative coloring station and a custom-built school bus that invites kids to climb inside. The bay area includes a kid-sized basketball court where patients can try to outscore Team Cavities, and a built-in floor piano (inspired by the movie, Big) that "plays" as patients walk across it. If children are nervous when they come in, it's quickly forgotten as they enjoy all of the activity areas, allowing parents to fill out paperwork without distraction and relax with a beverage from the coffee bar. "The patients and parents are thrilled when they walk in. The kids immediately leave their parent's side to explore the fun things in the waiting room, leaving the parents time to be greeted, check in and fill out information," says Dr. Jaime Marchi, who built the new 9,000 square foot office in 2011.
Just Kids Dental First Pediatric Office In Sheboygan
Dr. Marchi's practice opened in 2002 and was the first pediatric dental practice in Sheboygan. But as the patient load and staff grew, the space became tight – there were just five chairs for patients, the business areas and treatment areas were too small, and the checkout created bottlenecks. Interestingly, even though the space was cramped for Doctor Marchi and her team, the office layout was too open and didn't provide enough privacy.
The final decision to build a new office came when her sister, Dr. Andi Igowsky, entered pediatric dentistry. Dr. Marchi knew that eventually her sister would join her in the practice, so she purchased land in 2008 in a highly visible location. The new building would solve the space and layout issues, allow two doctors to practice simultaneously, and would also open the door to new technology and innovative décor that would appeal to children.
She worked with Henry Schein Equipment Sales Specialist Dan Kroeger and Henry Schein's National Design Group to put her ideas into a precise plan that addressed the needs of the practice while also providing a delightful experience for patients and their families.
"We have had a great relationship with Henry Schein over the years," remarked Dr. Marchi. "Working with them wasn't a choice at all – I wasn't going to do this without them!"
Today, when you drive up to the Just Kids Dental office, you might think you're entering an old-fashioned schoolhouse, complete with a tower and bell that the patients can actually ring! However, when you enter the practice, there is nothing old-fashioned about it. It's state-of-the-art, bright, and is decorated with a school theme throughout. Each room in the practice is named after a room found in a school, such as the music room, math room, and even the principal's office! Patients are treated to a different quote in every room; all quotes contain the word: smile!
Logical Layout Optimizes Workflow and Comfort
Smiling comes easy for Drs. Marchi and Igowsky because the layout and upgrades to equipment and technology have made the office more comfortable and definitely more productive. Working together, Dr. Marchi and Henry Schein's design team created an office that is unique, but also flows smoothly in a circular route so bottlenecks have been eliminated. With 10 chairs in the new office, spread out between open bays that accommodate multiple family members, and four quiet rooms set apart for children who need a more soothing environment or are being treated with sedation dentistry, there's plenty of space for both Drs. Marchi and Igowsky to be fully scheduled on the same day, something that was difficult in the previous location.
The office is outfitted with chairs, cabinetry, and lighting from Pelton & Crane. Each space is comfortable, attractive, and designed with both right- and left-handed capability, which is particularly important because Dr. Marchi is right-handed and Dr. Igowsky is left-handed! KaVo handpieces and electronic scalers provide greater comfort and productivity for the staff, but are also quieter and less intimidating to the young patients.
Equipment and Technology Increase Production
The new location incorporated a SOREDEX CRANEX D digital pan/ceph and SOREDEX DIGORA Optime phosphorus plates – and all of the digital images are displayed on the chairside screens, allowing parents to easily understand proposed treatment. The centralized sterilization and storage areas, like the rest of the practice, were designed to be easy-in, easy-out, allowing the assistants to work more efficiently. The abundance of computers at every workspace also allows the staff to schedule appointments while patients are still in the treatment areas, making checkouts faster and preventing back-ups.
Saving Time For Patients with Technology
If there's one thing that most parents value, it's convenience, and Just Kids Dental has embraced technologies that make it easier for parents in a variety of ways.
The office adopted Demandforce, which integrates with the practice management system to send appointment reminders via e-mail and text message and then receive confirmations back from the patients in the same way. Dental forms can be e-mailed ahead of time, allowing parents to fill out the paperwork at their convenience instead of when they arrive. In addition, check-in and paperwork updates are done on iPads, which is faster, easier, and eliminates the need for the filing and storage of paper.
Dr. Marchi explains "From a business aspect, we have gone completely paperless, which is a huge accomplishment!" It's no surprise that the practice is earning rave reviews via Demandforce from patients, and that the kid-centric activities are a favorite. But, patients are also sharing their positive experience at Just Kids Dental with friends and family.
"We have definitely sparked the interest of people in town," notes Dr. Marchi. "We see several new patients each day, and many times they have no idea that the practice has been around for 10 years! We have increased our new patients by double over last year. Our total patient numbers have gone up by over 2,000 in just six months!"
Research and Resources Key to Building the Office
Dr. Marchi began the planning process for her new office three years before it was completed, working with Dan Kroeger and the Henry Schein National Design team. Today the office enjoys greater visibility, a "wow" factor that has kids and their parents talking, and the latest technology that is easier to use, requires less maintenance, and delivers a superior level of care to patients.
Like most moves, relocating the practice did have some stressful moments, but now that the doctors and staff are acclimated to the new office, it is actually more relaxing and less stressful.
"Everything is so clean and bright, it automatically puts a smile on our faces," says Dr. Marchi. "For me as the owner, it is good to know I am building equity and have ownership in something that I've worked so hard for."
So, what advice does Dr. Marchi have for other doctors considering such an investment? "Lean on those experts around you and rely on them to do what they know best. Henry Schein is an excellent resource and will help you in your decision-making process. Do research and determine not only what you need at the moment, but where you want to be in the future. All in all, I would advise anyone to go for it! It is definitely stressful and time consuming, but I have learned that the greater the challenge, the greater the reward!"

|Which Type of Earring and Which Piercing Point Is Safest with Regard to Tearing Through the Ear by an External Force?
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22288435 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|OBJECTIVE: To discover the relationship between earring types, piercing points, and the mechanical force needed for earrings to tear through the earlobe. METHODS: A 5-mm-thick silicon paddle was used as an earlobe model. Five types of earrings were used: hoop, stud, buckle, hook, and screw. Tension was measured 4, 8, and 12 mm from the lowest border. The force and degree of pull needed for the earrings to tear through the tissue or fall out were measured. RESULTS: The force required to pull the earlobe from 6 mm was 4.88 ± 1.74 N in a cadaver, 0.58 ± 0.18 N in the model, and 0.55 ± 0.19 N in a living earlobe. The hoop fell out with the least force applied (3.31 ± 0.90 N), followed by the stud (5.77 ± 1.81 N) and the buckle (7.78 ± 1.58 N). For the hook (8.98 ± 1.02 N) and screw (9.98 ± 2.01 N), all the models tore through. The 12-mm point required the greatest force to tear through (17.31 ± 2.33 N), followed by the 8- (13.64 ± 2.42 N) and 4-mm points (9.98 ± 2.01 N). CONCLUSION: The 4-mm point is recommended for hoops, buckles, and studs, and the 8-mm point or higher is recommended for screws and hooks.

NBA Playoffs: Rondo Hurting Celtics More with Bad Arm than Helping?
Rajon Rondo is a Boston Celtic in every sense of the word. Pridefull and courageous with a belief in brotherhood. His valiant effort in this playoff series has drawn praise from all around the league. Celtic lovers and haters!
As the Celtics now face a 3-1 deficit against a Miami team that finally figured out how to beat them in a close game, Doc Rivers finds himself with a difficult question going into Game 5. Does he play Rajon Rondo in crunch time? The answer to that question at the end of Game 4 was a shocking NO. That decision has already left Doc unsettled and unsure.
"Yeah you know guys, listen, I don't know what the right call was," said Rivers in the post game press conference. "He struggled getting the ball, the guys in their right spots. I loved his defense for the most part." Doc later added "We needed more scoring on the floor, that was the main reason we did it."
But would Rivers do it again? Rondo missed a lay-up in the closing seconds at the end of regulation in Game 4 that would have given the Celtics an 86-84 lead. The fact is Rondo missed that lay-up as he drove right on his non-injured arm. He just missed it, it happens. The injury was not the cause of the miss nor was it the single reason Boston lost, but skeptics think that Rivers looked at that play as a reason to sit Rondo most of the overtime period.
If Rondo is unable to attack, finish, and cause havoc defensively with his lightning quick hands then Rivers indeed may look elsewhere should the situation pose itself again. That said an injured Rondo is still better than 90% of the point guards in the league and certainly better than any floor general the Heat have to counter with. Either way Rondo is going to play and be valiant in his effort. Lets hope that Doc makes the right decision. Better yet lets hope the Celtics have a double digit lead in the closing minutes and it becomes a mute point all together.

Wears her heart on her sleeve.
Eyes like a mirror,
Reflecting myriad emotions.
Mind like an innocent child,
Exposed to explosion .
She trusts the deceivers,
With all her devotion.
Shatters her dreams,
For the souls that are frozen.
They take her for granted,
Slaughter her illusions..
Subjecting the epitome of green,
To gigantic erosion.
Eventually, they make her,
Butt of ridicule and rejection.

Apr. 18, 2016 By Jack Jodell (in association with BURR DEMING of FAIR AND UNBALANCED.COM – see my blogroll at lower right).
Happy Monday to all of you, readers! Our Master Podcaster, the gifted BURR DEMING, slipped out of town to visit his grandchild for a few days. Before he left, though, he shared this latest gem dealing with the horrible way reactionary Tea Party-infested Republican governor Rick Snyder of Michigan successfully took over his state and then poisoned the people of Flint by switching their drinking water supply from a safe source to a cheaper, deadlier, and corrosive source.
In Burr's own words, "The conservative political faith of Governor Rick Snyder became more important to those in charge than any other consideration.
Ideology became more important than facts, evidence, or those affected.
People were sacrificed.
People died.
It hasn't stopped."

We recently had the privilege of getting behind the wheel of the awesome Nissan GTR. Aside from its expected pant-changingly rapid acceleration and sci-fi looks, the surprising discovery was that unlike most marques and models with superpower pretensions, this is a car that engenders genuine goodwill from the passing pedestrian and fellow motorist.
When sitting in traffic in central London, its 480hp twin-turbo straining at yet another red light, men, and occasionally women, would unashamedly pull out their camera phones, some even giving an enthusiastic thumbs up instead of a more traditional two-fingered gesture.
Perhaps this bonhomie is down to its cultish status among petrol heads (in Japan its nicknamed Godzilla and its ludicrously function-heavy interior was designed by the people behind the Gran Turismo video game), its racing pedigree (it recorded the then-fastest ever lap around the Nurburring in 2008 - recently equalled by the Corvette ZR1), even its humble price (£55,000) and even more humble origins - this, after all, is a Nissan, they of the 1 litre Micra.
To help further cement this idea that the GTR is for drivers, not wealthy posers, Nissan has just announced details of its 2009 Race Academy, where owners of the GTR and the 370Z are given the chance to tap into the full potential of their acquisitions from professional tutors at a Silverstone training day. Those setting the fastest times then get to compete for the coveted title of Nissan Race Academy Top Gun 2009.
This, after all, is a car for the open road or track, not for trundling down Knightsbridge on a Sunday afternoon. Though we can confirm that that's quite fun too.

Volkswagen buys a piece of Suzuki, eyes world's largest automaker crown
On Wednesday, the maker of the popular Beetle and Jetta models agreed to purchase a 20 percent stake in Suzuki Motor Corp. for $2.5 billion, which will help it gain a foothold in emerging markets like China and India. If the vehicles produced by Suzuki are counted, third-place Volkswagen would be in a neck-and-neck race with first place Toyota Motor Corp. (TM), Edmunds.com senior analyst Michelle Krebs tells DailyFinance. General Motors Corp. (GRM) is currently in second place.
Meanwhile, Volkswagen gobbled up Porsche earlier this year, adding to its already-formidable lineup of brands, including Audi, Bentley and Czech manufacturer Skoda. The company is building a new plant in Chattanooga, Tenn., which is scheduled to be running by 2011. Volkswagen executives have said there are no plans to delay the plant's opening despite the worldwide slump in auto sales.
Volkswagen was hurt for years in the U.S. by perceptions that its vehicles were of poor quality. That reputation is starting to change and Volkswagens are now "significantly improved," Krebs said. Volkswagen's market share is still small, under 2%, where it was during the late 1980s. Sales are improving thanks to its well-regarded diesel vehicles, which account for about one-quarter of its sales. TV commercials featuring the the talking Beetle with a German accent as thick as sauerbraten seem to be working. A Volkswagen spokesperson could not be immediately reached for comment.
The company realizes the challenges it faces.
"As you know, an entrepreneur isn't just someone who creates a new business," Stefan Jacoby, the head of Volkswagen Group of America, said in a recent speech at Duke University. "It can also be someone who redefines an existing business. That is what my colleagues and I are trying to do at the Volkswagen Group of America. We intend to reclaim Volkswagen's place as a leading brand in the U.S. market. "
During the late 1960s, Volkswagen made some of the most popular vehicles in the U.S. Beetles and Microbuses were symbols of the counterculture, like peace signs and love beads. The brand began to fade in the late 1970s and in 1987 the company announced that it would close its plant in New Stanton, Pennsylvania.
"For a long time, they did not have the right products," Krebs said,
Volkswagen hopes to sell 800,000 units in the U.S. by 2018, which is a pretty tall order considering the automaker sold 163,196 vehicles this year as of November. It also aims to triple its sales in China by that time. But given the state of the car industry, time is on its side. Volkswagen may make additional acquisitions as car companies bite the dust because of the recession.
"Certainly their aim is to be number one in the world by 2018," Krebs said. "They certainly have a shot at it."

The figures did not meet the expectations of the market, but kept over 50 points for the ninth consecutive month, according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).
According to the PMI, figures over 50 show expansion, while figures below it reflect reduction of activity, Efe news reported.
"The slower expansion was in part due to sluggish growth in both market demand and supply," said NBS senior statistician Zhao Qinghe.
The expansion -- less than estimated -- is a result of a contraction of the high-energy-consuming industries and of a sluggish growth in imports and exports, added Zhao.
The sub-index for production stood at 53.8 in April while the sub-index for new orders came in at 52.3, both down from the figures recorded in March.
Nevertheless, equipment manufacturing and high-tech manufacturing continued with robust growth, with the sub-indices reaching 52.1 and 53.4 respectively, well above the 51.2 registered for all manufacturing industries in March.
Zhao also stated that consumer goods manufacturing rose to 52.2, "indicating an increasingly important role it plays in the economy".

Choosing the right material is an important factor when it comes to building and decorating a house. If you do not find the right material, it can have an impact on the building and can question the lasting of the building. So while you select the materials, take time and select wisely. The area that people should give more consideration is the selection of the correct skirting board.
Skirting boards have a lot of benefits, and it is important to have skirting boards if your floors are of wood. The wooden flooring always will have some or the other kind of spaces that needs to be on the cover such as the expansion gap. You can conceal the small holes in the gap and provide better protection to the wall so that it will not be damages. The oak skirting and architrave should enhance the beauty of your home. Buildingguide.co.nz/ can give you an idea about choosing the right building materials.
If you plan to replace the skirting board, the first thing you need to check is to visit your local shop. You can check whether they have got the skirting boards you are looking to buy. If not, ask them to show some new skirting boards. The shop keepers will be having a variety of skirting boards with them. If you are planning to rebuild or renovate the building in a periodic way, you can give a sample of the skirting board you are looking for and ask them to inform you whether they find any. If they do not have anything on hand, you can ask them whether they can make a new one for you as some shopkeepers specialize in some timber work or some special services.
MDF skirting is popular because of the easiness they provide in installation and the way they
get molds for the purpose. Common people can afford MDF skirting. They are available in prefinished modes. The only drawback of MDF skirting is the people who can only paint it. You can invest your money with some real timber shopkeepers as you can enjoy the benefits of high- quality finishing.
Softwood skirting also provides some great advantages. The major advantage of softwood skirting is you can varnish them or paint them to get a natural look. For period homes, this advantage will be a huge help. Softwood skirting is available in wide variety, and if you want to renovate a building, this would be of great help.
Hardwood skirting can give you a top-end look. The pleasing look of this timber will gel beautifully with walls of historic homes and will be a good match with the oak floors. Hardwood skirting cannot have any damages from knocks or scuffs like softwood skirting. The only major thing about hardwood is they need to go through drilling as fitting a hardwood is a bit hard when you compare it with softwood or MDF.
To hide the electrical work or pipe work you have done to your home, fixing a skirting board is the best way to it. The only thing you have to look is the correct selection of skirting boards.

Three plastic surgeries you can do one week before your wedding
All cosmetic procedures and plastic surgeries aim to make us feel better about our look.
There are several really important celebrations in our destiny and undoubtedly wedding is one of them. Most girls imagine their weddings in details when they are still 20 years old. They know what dress they will wear, what makeup they will have and other significant details. Unfortunately, most girls don't know how old they will be and don't plan to have some plastic surgeries. Especially for the wedding. In Singapore, the average age for first marriage is 29 years old. We have listed several plastic surgeries and cosmetic procedures that you can have easily before your wedding, without the fear that something can get wrong.
Improve your facial structure
Dermal fillers are used to give the face some lost volume or to contour it properly. Fillers are injected under the upper skin layer with a needle and the procedure is almost painless. Most people don't need recovery time and there are no visible scars after the procedure except a little dot from the needle. If you want to change a little your face there is no more perfect time, than before your wedding. This way you will have an amazing fresh look at your wedding day. However, different substances can be injected under your skin but the length of the procedure is the same and there is not a recovery time at all.
Draw your eyebrows
Microblading is not a new procedure anymore. Most women are with microblading or planning to have one. The truth is that having perfect eyebrows is not a rocket science and every woman wants to save some time and skip monthly plucking. Thanks to the microblade technology you can have them for less than 2 hours. Of course, your skin will be red several days so for this procedure you will definitely need one week recovery time. Of course, some people manage to recover faster but it depends on the patient's body. We all know that eyebrows can make someone's face more highlighted or to ruin it completely. Specialists will choose and draw the shape of your eyebrows and the client has to approve them only before the beginning of the procedure.
Dermal filler for your nose
Some people have amazing noses but the reality is that most don't so 70% of women want to improve their nose but don't want to have a surgery. Nose job surgery is not an easy one and people avoid it as long as it is possible. However, there are several ways to improve your nose with dermal fillers. The specialist will inject a filler on the right spot where is needed and the shape of the nose will be improved. Of course, the dermal filler is a temporary decision so you if you want to have a nose job surgery you still can have it.
Look good on wedding photos
Every woman wants to be the most beautiful bride thanks to plastic surgeries and cosmetic procedures this dream is completely possible. For me, one of the most important things was to look amazing on the wedding photos because they are what we will save as a memory. As you may guess, the photographer and the quality photos are really important, too. We had a GIF photo booth at our wedding and it was the best idea ever. Not only I was amazed at my new eyebrows but GIF photos were amazing, too. If you are planning your wedding, you can check Ubersnap.com and the wedding photo booth service they are offering. They will make gorgeous photos but how you will look it is up to you. There is nothing to be ashamed if you want to improve your look for your wedding so read again this article and make a decision what you would like to change.

Meet our Audiologists
(RHAD) (BSHAA) (FdA)
Lindsay is a Company Director and one of the principal Consultant Audiologists for Regain Hearing. She qualified with distinction at Amplivox Academy in Wilmslow, Cheshire in 2005. Here she also met her partner Lee Fletcher, whom she would form the company with five years later. Lindsay has a wonderful way with people. As an audiologist her personality and kind manner shine through when dealing with her clients. This is matched only by her technical ability, highly trained in all aspects of audiology, with a wealth of experience in treating all manner of hearing losses, Tinnitus and ear wax removal.
Lindsay began her career as an Audiologist for Hearing Health in the West Midlands as a domicilary practitioner, specialising in all aspects of hearing correction for patients with mobility problems. She quickly gained popularity and trust with her growing network of patients and was seen as a safe pair of hands, always willing to go the extra mile. Incidentally, this glowing reputation caught the attention of Age Concern who were keen to work with her when Lindsay finally decided to branch out on her own. Regain Hearing soon became the 'go to' guys for Age Concern recommendations. Lindsay and Lee became the hearing health professionals for their elderly and dementia patients in Kent.
Lindsay's rapidly expanding knowledge of all hearing aid manufacturers, technology and styles led her to become part of an elite national hearing exhibition team very early on in her career whilst working at Hearing Health. She was tasked with advising visitors of all ages as to types and causes of hearing losses and providing personalised solutions. She quickly learnt her trade, around the same time that hearing aid technology witnessed the birth of the digital age.
Lindsay was responsible for upgrading hundreds of private hearing aid wearers from analogue aids to digital systems - no mean feat! When it comes to getting the best out of a hearing aid, she has always been unrivalled in her field. The skill involved in programming digital hearing aids is often overlooked, but it is crucial to successfully fitting them to patients, something Lindsay recognised very early on.
Prior to founding Regain Hearing in 2010, Lindsay also worked for Hearing and Mobility and latterly Amplifon, as branch Manager of their Canterbury practice for two years. During her time as an employee, she remained ever popular with her patients, always positioned at the top 5% of high achieving audiologists in the UK.
At an early age Lindsay was identified as an influential figure in the Health and Leisure Industry, given top level management roles within various UK luxury health spas. She was exposed to excellence in hospitality, providing the highest level in customer service, dealing with the general public and famous, high profile clients alike.
At just 24 years old, Lindsay was head hunted by The Racquet and Healthtrack group to set up and manage an exclusive flagship new-build health club in Solihull, West Midlands. Due to its rapid success, Lindsay was awarded Health Spa of the year, and was promoted to assistant AGM. It didn't take her long before she was running her own clubs as a General Manager for David Lloyd leisure in Burton Waters, Lincoln and Leicester.
At the grand old age of 30, Lindsay made a life changing gear-crunching career move into audiology. She found that she could utilise the skills she had learnt running health clubs when looking after patients as a health care professional.
Lindsay has a young family who she enjoys her time with. She has four daughters, two dogs, one cat and Lee (not in order of priority she hastens to add!). She has a real passion for music and likes to keep fit and active. Lindsay has a strong connection to Spain, where she regularly takes the family to visit her mother, a local artist in Torrevieja

Epilepsy is a brain condition that causes a person to have seizures. It is one of the most common disorders of the nervous system. It affects people of all ages, races, and ethnic backgrounds.
The brain consists of nerve cells that communicate with each other through electrical activity. A seizure occurs when one or more parts of the brain has a burst of abnormal electrical signals that interrupt normal brain signals. Anything that interrupts the normal connections between nerve cells in the brain can cause a seizure. This includes a high fever, high or low blood sugar, alcohol or drug withdrawal, or a brain concussion. But when a person has 2 or more seizures with no known cause, this is diagnosed as epilepsy.
There are different types of seizures. The type of seizure depends on which part and how much of the brain is affected and what happens during the seizure. The 2 main categories of epileptic seizures are focal (partial) seizure and generalized seizure.
Focal seizures take place when abnormal electrical brain function occurs in one or more areas of one side of the brain. Before a focal seizure, you may have an aura, or signs that a seizure is about to occur. This is more common with a complex focal seizure. The most common aura involves feelings, such as deja vu, impending doom, fear, or euphoria. Or you may have visual changes, hearing abnormalities, or changes in your sense of smell. The 2 types of focal seizures include:
The symptoms depend on which area of the brain is affected. If the abnormal electrical brain function is in the part of the brain involved with vision (occipital lobe), your sight may be altered. More often, muscles are affected. The seizure activity is limited to an isolated muscle group. For example, it may only include the fingers, or larger muscles in the arms and legs. You may also have sweating, nausea, or become pale. You don't lose consciousness in this type of seizure.
This type of seizure often occurs in the area of the brain that controls emotion and memory function (temporal lobe). You will likely lose consciousness. This may not mean you pass out. You may just stop being aware of what's going on around you. You may look awake, but have a variety of unusual behaviors. These may range from gagging, lip smacking, running, screaming, crying, or laughing. You may be tired or sleepy after the seizure. This is called the postictal period.
A generalized seizure occurs in both sides of the brain. You will lose consciousness and be tired after the seizure (postictal state). Types of generalized seizures include:
This is also called petit mal seizure. This seizure causes a brief changed state of consciousness and staring. You will likely maintain your posture. Your mouth or face may twitch or your eyes may blink rapidly. The seizure usually lasts no longer than 30 seconds. When the seizure is over, you may not recall what just occurred. You may go on with your activities as though nothing happened. These seizures may occur several times a day.
This is also called a drop attack. With an atonic seizure, you have a sudden loss of muscle tone and may fall from a standing position or suddenly drop your head. During the seizure, you will be limp and unresponsive.
This is also called grand mal seizure. The classic form of this kind of seizure has 5 distinct phases. Your body, arms, and legs will flex (contract), extend (straighten out), and tremor (shake). This is followed by contraction and relaxation of the muscles (clonic period) and the postictal period. During the postictal period, you may be sleepy. You may have problems with vision or speech, and may have a bad headache, fatigue, or body aches. Not all of these phases occur in everyone with this type of seizure.
This type of seizure causes quick movements or sudden jerking of a group of muscles. These seizures tend to occur in clusters. This means that they may occur several times a day, or for several days in a row.
A seizure can be caused by many things. These can include:
Epilepsy may be caused by a combination of these. In most cases, the cause of epilepsy can't be found.
Your symptoms depend on the type of seizure. General symptoms or warning signs of a seizure can include:
During the seizure, your lips may become tinted blue and your breathing may not be normal. After the seizure, you may be sleepy or confused.
The symptoms of a seizure may be like those of other health conditions. Make sure to talk with your healthcare provider for a diagnosis.
Your healthcare provider will ask about your symptoms and your health history. You'll be asked about other factors that may have caused your seizure, such as:
You may also have:
The goal of treatment is to control, stop, or reduce how often seizures occur. Treatment is most often done with medicine. There are many types of medicines used to treat epilepsy. Your healthcare provider will need to identify the type of seizure you are having. Medicines are selected based on the type of seizure, age of the person, side effects, cost, and ease of use. Medicines used at home are usually taken by mouth as capsules, tablets, sprinkles, or syrup. Some medicines can be given into the rectum. If you are in the hospital with seizures, medicine may be given by injection or intravenously by vein (IV).
It is important to take your medicine on time and as prescribed by your doctor. People's bodies react to medicine differently so your schedule and dosage may need to be adjusted for the best seizure control. All medicines can have side effects. Talk with your healthcare provider about possible side effects. While you are taking medicine, you may need tests to see how well the medicine is working. You may have:
If medicine doesn't work well enough for you, your healthcare provider may advise other types of treatment. You may have:
This treatment sends small pulses of energy to the brain from one of the vagus nerves. This is a pair of large nerves in the neck. If you have partial seizures that are not controlled well with medicine, VNS may be an option. VNS is done by surgically placing a small battery into the chest wall. Small wires are then attached to the battery and placed under the skin and around one of the vagus nerves. The battery is then programmed to send energy impulses every few minutes to the brain. When you feel a seizure coming on, you may activate the impulses by holding a small magnet over the battery. In many cases, this will help to stop the seizure. VNS can have side effects such as hoarse voice, pain in the throat, or change in voice.
Surgery may be done to remove the part of the brain where the seizures are occurring. Or the surgery helps to stop the spread of the bad electrical currents through the brain. Surgery may be an option if your seizures are hard to control and always start in one part of the brain that doesn't affect speech, memory, or vision. Surgery for epilepsy seizures is very complex. It is done by a specialized surgical team. You may be awake during the surgery. The brain itself does not feel pain. If you are awake and able to follow commands, the surgeons are better able to check areas of your brain during the procedure. Surgery is not an option for everyone with seizures.
If you have epilepsy, you can manage your health. Make sure to:

text: I have a 2015 here at work that sounds similar. I changed the front pads about a month ago with some wagner qs. Shortly after the driver was complaining of a noise from the front right that stopped when he touched the brakes. Everything looked fine, I sprayed the rotors with brake quiet, it was good for a few days then the noise came back. It only seemed to do it when it was warm, I pulled the pads off and cleaned everything, re lubed it everything, sprayed brake quiet stuff on the rotors. It was good for another week. Yesterday the same noise came back. This morning I swapped the rotors and pads from one of the parts cars we have and so far so good. I haven't had a problem with these pads before, the rotors looked okay but I changed them cause I had extras anyways and didn't want to see this car come back again for the same problem.

David, reporting/auditin is done in the "financial reporting" permitted use. I still think that financial reporting is a bit underspecified. The question of contracts is not easy. OBA happens because there are contracts. Those contracts describe a certain expected behavior. Having an exception for contracts would include those installing OBA. The entire reason for DNT would vanish in one exception and we could only hope that people wouldn't use that loophole. After 12 years in privacy, I don't believe that the loophole will remain unused. If one uses the loophole, a race to the bottom will be created. No level playing field anymore. That's why we have to be careful IMHO. RigoReceived on Sunday, 28 October 2012 19:28:30 UTC

Forgoing or foregoing?
Angelina and Brad are suing the British newspaper News of the World for alleging that they plan to separate. Look at this related quote spotted on various websites covering the story:
"I have had no contact from … Angelina Jolie and/or Brad Pitt," Trope wrote, according to a letter sent to the couple's lawyers and partially quoted in Schillings' statement. "I have never met … your clients or had any involvement with either of them. The forgoing is true with respect to all other members of this firm."
That 'forgoing' should be 'foregoing'. This is because 'foregoing' means 'previously mentioned' or 'preceding'. See Oxford Dictionaries.
The way to remember the spelling of 'foregoing' is to think of 'as mentioned before'.
So how did the separation rumours start? Sorry, I meant to say, so is 'forgoing' a word?
Yes, it is, and it means 'going without', for example:
She is forgoing dessert to ensure she gets home on time.
A slight complication…
I hate to tell you this, but 'forgo', meaning 'to go without', can also be spelt 'forego'. See Oxford Dictionaries.
However, 'forego', meaning 'previously mentioned' cannot be spelt 'forgo'. (As I was explaining before.)

Ha! I didn't realize that "forego" was an acceptable alternative spelling. English is a minefield…
I love the past tense of "forgo," just because it causes such eye-rolling when you use it: "forwent." Here's an example: "I'm not going to say never to anything," said Moulton Patterson, who forwent a bid for reelection. (L.A. Times)
The past participles are "forgone" and "foregone." You see the latter a lot in "foregone conclusion," i.e., everyone knew the answer before the question was even posed.
I had to construct a paragraph yesterday with one "forgoing" and two "foregoings." My head was spinning but I think I got it right.
I just thought of this memory aid for "foregoing": To forecast (the weather) means to predict the future. The forecast comes before the event.
(And in the "just because" category, a weather forecast in Sp. is "prognóstico." I love that. :))


text: i am now taking legal action againist my employer/s for my current back injury which is a budge in the L4-L5 and a disc protrusion in the L5-S1 which is pushing on the s1 nerve root and giving me great problems with my right leg causing numbness and tingling and sensations of burning and hot and cold feeling. My solcitor has given me no indication of what figure i am likely to receive and i am due to see one of there doctors in a couple of weeks. I am wondering if anyone had been through the same thing and what am i to expect when i see this doctor. Does anyone any idea what i could receive. I have just turned 30 and have one 2yr old. I have to leave my job becuase i could not handle doing all the additional lifting involved. I am now working casual in a lower paid job but that is also proving difficult with the bending involved. Having spoken with my regular treating doctor they are reluctant to do anything further other than taking voltarin which upsets my stomach and norflex which does nothing for the nerve leg pain. I injured my back late last year. I was told by my specialist to go back on light duties for 6 mths from feb 2005 but my GP didnt want that and said i had to go back full duties so thats why i left my job. I knew my back couldnt cope with all the heavy lifting. My gp also stopped my physio after only a few sessions as he said it was enough. What am i to do now? My back isnt getting any better and i have been having really bad pain radiating down my r leg. The doctors i am seeing dont want to really do anything and i am feeling more depressed with the pain and the struggles of trying to cope with this and look after my son. Hope someone can give me some advice.

Emmitsburg, Md. (September 14, 2012)--Kelly Baker scored twice to lead the Mount St. Mary's women's soccer team to a 4-0 win over visiting VMI on Friday night at Waldrom Family Stadium on campus.
The Mount (4-3) broke on top in the 23rd minute when Baker scopped up a rebound and tapped the ball into the empty net. Andrea Bujacich started the play by hammering a shot from 20 yards out that was bobbled by the goalkeeper, allowing Baker to get the goal.
Baker made it 2-0 when she converted a penalty kick with 14:22 left in the first half. Baker was fouled in the box to earn the penalty. It was Baker's second goal of the game, marking the second time this year she has scored twice in the same game.
The Mount made it 3-0 right before the end of the half on a Keriann McGettigan goal. Kate Murphy lofted the ball into the box where Melissa Rowan headed the ball back to McGettigan, who beat the keeper to the lower left for her first goal of the year.
Sam Manson's first collegiate goal in the in the 71st minute rounded out the scoring. Manson tapped in a cross from Carly Deegan to push the advantage to 4-0. Deegan's assist was her first collegiate point.
Freshmen goalkeeper Rachel Bourne and Vicky Cocozza combined for the shutout win. Bourne made one save as the Mount dominated the game with a 26-to-1 shot advantage.
The Mount's 4-3 start to the season matches the best seven-game start in program history. Mount St. Mary's was also 4-3 to open both the 1994 and 1996 seasons. The Mount has 14 goals on the year, already surpassing last season's total of 13.
Mount St. Mary's returns to action on Friday, September 21, when the team opens Northeast Conference play at Saint Francis (Pa.)
Game Notes: The Mount is 2-0 all-time against VMI with both wins coming at home...The Mount has scored four goals in a game three times this year.

To look upon her Angelic face on the day she was brought to us was a day of great joy.
Little did we know that our precious Angel was not to stay with us for very long.
God sent her to us for a short time so that we could enjoy all of the love that she was able to give.
In the short time that she was here, she loved her family wholeheartedly with her little but precious heart.
Her name is Aleya for a reason. She was of God and then returned to him with all of the love that her family had given to her.
A mother's love for her child never ends; it grows and grows and never stops, even after her death.
A father's love for his child is like a bright shiny star shines as bright as the love he has for his child that will never diminish.
When you have siblings, they learn that each life is precious and to enjoy what little time there is and to also understand that family comes first and foremost.
A family whole and a family broken will learn to love one another for the love a child lost will unite them and make them stronger.

The opening and closing videos are by Toumani Diabete, the kora master from Mali, playing Debe alongside the great Ali Farka Touré, and playing Toumani with his Symmetric Orchestra.
Music: Meditation or Intoxication
Which is music for you, meditation or intoxication?
It's a striking question!
The same! You are hearing an instrument -- a sitar, or anything. Many notes are there. Be alert and listen to the central core, the backbone of it around which all the notes are flowing, the deepest current which holds all the notes together -- that which is central, just like your backbone. The whole body is held by the backbone. Listening to the music, be alert, penetrate the music, and find the backbone of it -- the central thing which goes on flowing, holding everything together. Notes come and go and disappear, but the central core flows on. Become aware of it.
Basically, originally, music was used for meditation; particularly Indian music developed as a method of meditation, Indian dancing developed as a method of meditation. For the doer it was a deep meditation, and for the audience also it was a deep meditation. A dancer or a musician can be a technician. And he can be a great technician, but the soul comes only when the musician is also a deep meditator.
And music is just the outward thing. While playing on his sitar, one is not only playing on his sitar, he is also playing on his alertness inside. The sitar goes on outwardly and his intense awareness moves inside. The music flows outwardly, but he is alert, constantly aware of the innermost core of it. And that gives samadhi. That becomes ecstasy. That becomes the highest peak.
It is said that when the musician has really become the musician, he will break his instrument -- because it is of no use. If he still needs his instrument, he is not a real musician yet. He is just learning. If you can play with music, with meditation, sooner or later the inner music will become more important, and the outer will become not only less important: ultimately it will become a disturbance. You will throw the instrument away from you, because now you have found the inner instrument. But it cannot be found without the outer; with the outer you can become alert more easily. Once you have become alert, leave the outer and move inwards. And for the listener also, the same!
But what are you doing when you listen to music? You are not meditating. On the contrary, you are using music as something like alcohol. You are using it to be relaxed, you are using it for self-forgetfulness. This is the misfortune, the misery: the techniques which were developed for awareness are being used for sleep. And this is how man goes on doing mischief with himself.
If something is given to you which can make you awake, you will use it to make yourself more sleepy. That is why for millennia teachings were kept secret -- because it was thought to be useless to give techniques to a sleepy man. He will use them for sleep; he cannot do otherwise. So techniques were given only to particular disciples who were ready to shake their sleep, who were ready to be shattered out of their sleepiness.
Ouspensky dedicates one book to George Gurdjieff as "the man who disturbed my sleep". Such people ARE disturbers. Persons like Gurdjieff or Buddha or Jesus, they are disturbers. That is why we take revenge upon them. We may have been dreaming beautiful dreams and he comes and disturbs our sleep. We want to kill him. The dream was so beautiful. And if it is beautiful, then it is more dangerous because it can attract you more, it can become a drug.
We have been using music as a drug, dancing as a drug. And if you want to use music and dancing as drugs, then they will become not only drugs for your sleep, they will become drugs for sexuality also. So remember this point: sexuality and sleep go together. When you awake you will be more loving, the whole energy of sex will have been transformed to love.
To summarize:
WHILE LISTENING TO STRINGED INSTRUMENTS, HEAR THEIR COMPOSITE CENTRAL SOUND -- their complete central sound -- THUS OMNIPRESENCE.
And then you will know what is to be known, or what is worth knowing. You will become omnipresent With the music, finding the composite central core, you will become awake, and with that awakening you will be everywhere.
Right now, you are somewhere -- a point which we call the ego. If you can become awake, this point will disappear. You will not be anywhere then, you will be EVERYWHERE -- as if you have become the all. You will have become the ocean, you will have become the infinite.
The finiteness is with the mind.
The infiniteness enters with meditation.
Carrie: Thank you so much, Okei. The sitar video is absolutely beautiful. I could listen to it over and over again. For me, the music is a simultaneous blend of intoxicant and meditation. :)Namaste!
okei: Yeah, it's cool! The kora is like a sitar, but it's a "21-string West African harp".
Denise: ♥
Kathy: The same idea is also the core behind other instruments like Scottish bagpipes. They also have a central, "drone" sound around which the rest of the melody is played. Music certainly does have a way of transporting us, doesn't it? :) Thanks, Okei!! :) Blessings!
okei: Thanks for dropping by, Denise, and Thanks Kathy! They do indeed... and it does, but we are bombarded with music and even bombard ourselves sometimes.
The ease of listening to music, with the transfer to digital, the ability to store thousands of tracks on a small device, instead of just a few as in the past, makes this more true than ever, that it becomes just mindless noise to fill the silence.
And this can be said of anything, even that which is most spiritual, so it's worth paying heed to Osho's warning (extracted from the above):
"If something is given to you which can make you awake, you will use it to make yourself more sleepy. That is why for millennia teachings were kept secret -- because it was thought to be useless to give techniques to a sleepy man. He will use them for sleep; he cannot do otherwise."
This originally appeared on Buddhist Travellers in 2010.
