Do you have a concrete slab leak in your Laguna Hills property? Call us today at (949) 371-8413 for more information on the alternatives available to fix your leakage right the very first time.
It can be tough to inform, but typical indications of leaks in your concrete foundation are:
1. Wetness in your flooring
2. An increased water bill
3. The noises of water running when there are no faucets turned on
4. Spots on your floor covering that are warmer than others
Lots of elements may add up to structure leakage issues including age of the residential or commercial property, quality of initial craftsmanship, settling of the structure, as well as water quality and the pressure at which the water enters your pipes system from the exterior. Our slab leak detection professionals are skilled at rapidly finding the source of a leakage, even when it is not noticeable to the naked eye.
It is crucial to address piece leaks immediately because of the possible water damage that might be done, putting the security of your house's foundation at risk. If your Laguna Hills floor leakage repair specialists have a direct access point to repair the leak, it is possible to cut into the concrete and make the repair.
We specialize in:
- cost to repair slab leak
- foundation leak repair
- what causes a slab leak
- leak under concrete slab
- detecting a slab leak
- concrete slab leak detection
- slab leak symptoms
- concrete slab leak repair
- plumbing leak under slab
- water leaking through foundation
However, usually the most economical solution is to re-route entire areas of pipeline outside of the piece to prevent unneeded damage to your house. Once there is one leakage in the foundation, others might follow sooner than later. Bypassing the foundation entirely via our re-piping service can provide some assurance that you will not need to handle future piece leakages.
If you are in need of slab leakage detection and repair, Laguna Hills locals have actually trusted us over and over again to get their plumbing system back up and running fast. Call us at (949) 371-8413 to schedule an appointment.

Can Chamomile Tea Work As a Diuretic?
Chamomile is an herb that's commonly made into tea, although "hot infusion" is a more accurate term because chamomile is not a tea plant. Unlike black and green teas, herbal infusions do not contain caffeine, which is a well-known nervous system stimulant and diuretic. However, chamomile does contain other compounds that exhibit mild diuretic properties, which cause your body to lose water by stimulating more frequent urination. Consult with your doctor before intentionally using large doses of diuretics for weight loss or any medical condition.
If you are experiencing serious medical symptoms, seek emergency treatment immediately.
Diuretics cause forced diuresis, or increased water absorption, within your kidneys, which increases the rate of urination. There are several categories of diuretics based on how and where they affect your kidneys, but all diuretics increase the excretion of water from your body. Caffeine is the most commonly consumed compound with strong diuretic properties.
Chamomile Flowers
Chamomile is a slightly bitter flowering herb indigenous to many places in Europe and Asia. Fresh and dried chamomile flowers are commonly used to make herbal infusions or "tea." Chamomile is consumed hot and cold and can be applied to the skin for various benefits. Ground chamomile flowers are also available as oral capsules and liquid extracts are made from its fresh flowers and leaves. Chamomile contains no caffeine and does not disrupt sleep cycles, so it is considered appropriate for consumption prior to going to bed.
Diuretic Properties
According to "The New Healing Herbs" by Michael Castleman, chamomile displays mild diuretic properties and has been traditionally used in countries such as:
- Turkey to treat bladder problems
- menstrual cramps
- lung congestion
- inflammation
- edema 2
Chamomile is also considered a mild laxative.
Other Properties
Chamomile is probably best known and used as a sleep aid and to combat insomnia, because it has a calming effect on the nervous system. According to "Medical Herbalism" by David Hoffman, other properties displayed by chamomile include anti-inflammatory, mild antimicrobial and muscle relaxing effects. As such, chamomile is also used to promote digestion, reduce intestinal parasites, combat anxiety and help with the symptoms of rheumatism. Although chamomile is typically consumed at night, its mild diuretic properties might cause sleep disruption because of the need to urinate. So drink it in moderation, and try to empty your bladder just prior to going to bed.

Project Description
Virtual Reality Soccer Experience
Brands need to continually innovate in order to cut through the noise of a crowded market place. Even highly established brands who control a major share of their market, are continually innovating and evolving their outreach to customers. One key area of improvement for brands is to have people actively engage with their brands. Events, contests, and other competitive activities help accomplish this, but brands are looking for ways to totally immerse their customers in their brand message.
- Differentiation
Outside of their brand message, most brands are communicating to their customers the same way. Packaging redesigns, sponsorships, and giveaways are great tools for brands to use to differentiate themselves. However, these are available to everyone and they really don't allow for a customer to be totally immersed in the brand story.
- Tell a Better Story
Brands are looking for ways to get their customers engaged with their message. Videos and advertisements are losing their impact in the age of five second attention spans and video games. How can a brand grab a customer's attention and hold it long enough for the marketing message to work.
EON Reality created a branded interactive football (soccer) experience for a major soft drink brand for use in their VIP area at the 2014 World Cup in Rio de Janeiro. The experience placed fans on the pitch of Brazil's famous Maracana stadium where they blocked penalty kicks as a goalie as well as took penalty kicks, free kicks, and corners. VIPs who were enjoying the hospitality suite could participate in their own World Cup action. The experience was presented in a branded EON Icube Mobile which allowed for a totally immersive experience.
Instead of playing a two-dimensional video game or watching an exciting highlight reel, VIPs were able to have the experience of stepping on the field of one of the most famous venues in all of soccer. This experience let visitors experience the brand in a way they couldn't before.
Part of the story
By immersing the VIPs in the football (soccer) experience, the brand story became the VIPs story. They stopped being a viewer and became an active participant. Not only were the visitors entertained, but they paid attention throughout the experience and were fully immersed in the brand's message.
This experience conveyed to the VIPs the brand's long standing commitment to supporting sporting events in an entertaining way. These VIPs were able to jump into the shoes of a professional athlete. This experience added a significant level of excitement and fun to the hospitality suite.

yeah noWhat the splode did you just splodeing say about me, you little splode? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the splode out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my splodeing words. You think you can get away with saying that splode to me over the Internet? Think again, splodeer. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're splodeing dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little splode. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your splodeing tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will splode fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're splodeing dead, kiddo.
IDFK...Private First Class
There was a bunch of spamming in 2013 but it was against the rules.Are there no spammers left here anymore?
why did you bump this...Read this post out of context.
i dont have much to sayWhat filth dared pass your unworthy lips, pitiful urchin? I will declare, am the heir of the Elders, I have led our people out of tragedy single-handed, and I have destroyed over 300 white demons. I am learned in the arts of the earth and sky, and none are more connected to the Great Spirit than I! You are but nothing to me, prey. I will have your head hollowed for a gourde, my word is sacred! Do you think your magic will allow you to continue to disrespect me like this? Think again, dog! Even as you stand, my brothers from across the land are circling your home and your sacred place is being hunted right now, so prepare for the onslaught, rat. The onslaught that will decimate your very way of life from your people's history. You are a breathing ghost, child. I can move as I please, night or day, and I can steal your breath in over seven hundred ways, without so much as a knife. Not only am I a warrior-king's son, but I have the loyalty of my entire tribe and I will rather laugh than hesitate at wiping your hide out of this world, little dog. If only you had known what torrents your gibberish would bring upon, you would have kept silent. But you could not, you did not, and now the price will be yours to pay, backwards fool. I will spread fury like droppings until it consumes you, and you drown in its depths. You are a memory, boy.
You can always help with the ideas board if you like seeing as all Lt+ are already helpers.I'll take a look at that. Thanks.
just a suggestion though.

If you're reading this, the chances are good you've come here (as in, Earth) from some other place in the Universes, and are feeling a bit uneasy about it. Or maybe you feel great about it! Either way, you need to know you're not alone. You have a tribe, and I'm happy to be a part of it.
I have gotten a message a lot over the years, from my angels, council, the Powers that Be, to just be myself, in all my alien glory. That doesn't mean I came here in my spaceship in a human disguise, no, nothing like that. It means that on another planet and from another time, my soul was not in human form. I chose this human form for a very important reason, and if that resonates with you, you probably did too.
Many of the souls I am blessed to guide through life and challenges are like this too…so I felt I should go ahead and reach out to you far and wide, and make the "call," if you will. We are here, it's important, and together we can do the work of raising human consciousness. Even if you feel very human, and nothing else I've said makes sense, you too, are here for this work, of being the light.
In this episode, I share my story, of how I know where I come from and what I'm here to do. This is a story I've only shared with close friends and loved ones, and other like-spirited people. Today it's for all the world to hear, and I hope it helps even one lost soul.
The 26 signs that you may also be a fellow galactic being is of course not an exhaustive list, but it's what I was guided to share with you.
Those of us who fall under these signs, can often experience health challenges and symptoms, and so this episode speaks to that as well, and what to do about it.
Please leave me a comment below and let me know what you thought of the list, and what I didn't mention that feels true for you.
If you enjoyed the episode, please leave a review over on iTunes, so more like yourself can find us.
Here's to coming out of the "human" closet, and rocking our interstellar selves. Listen below or over on iTunes for the full down low!

Very nice. The feel of this piece is so calming. Funny thing... I viewed this on my mac and now on my pc... the colors are slightly different. On my mac, more sage/seafoam and on my pc, more on the grey/blue side. The color calibration on the 2 machines are probably different. No worries, both are great. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete

Study Highlights
- Women treated at a hospital after cardiac arrest may be less likely than men to receive potentially life-saving procedures.
- The number of cardiac arrest patients treated at hospitals increased and in-hospital death rates have fallen for both sexes, however women were less likely to survive, according to a new study.
Embargoed until 3 p.m. CT / 4 p.m. ET Wednesday, June 22, 2016
DALLAS, June 22, 2016 — Women who have a cardiac arrest are less likely than men to receive potentially life-saving procedures such as angiography to look for blocked coronary arteries or angioplasty to open them, according to new research in Journal of the American Heart Association, the Open Access Journal of the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association.
The study indicates such procedures have helped boost cardiac arrest survival rates, said Luke Kim, M.D., study lead author and assistant professor of medicine in the cardiology division of Weill Cornell Medical College in New York. "But the troublesome part of our paper is that just as with many other treatments we're still not doing as good a job with women as men. Women tend to get less immediate care when time is essential."
The study is the first to report sex-based disparities across a representative spectrum of cardiac arrest patients from more than 1,000 U.S. hospitals nationally. During the 10-year study, in-hospital death rates fell for both sexes, but remained higher for women. Of those who were treated in hospital for cardiac arrest, 64 percent of women died compared to 61 percent of men.
Using a database of hospital discharge records known as the Nationwide Inpatient Sample, researchers analyzed more than 1.4 million cases in which cardiac arrest patients were transported alive to acute-care hospitals from 2003 through 2012. During that time, the number of cardiac arrests increased by 14 percent.
Adjusting for factors including patient age, health, hospital characteristics and previous cardiac procedures, researchers also found that women who had a cardiac arrest from a shockable rhythm were:
- 25 percent less likely to receive coronary angiography;
- 29 percent less likely to have angioplasty, also known as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI);
- 19 percent less likely to be treated with therapeutic hypothermia, in which body temperature is lowered to help improve odds of survival and reduce risk of brain damage.
As a group, women in the study were older than men and were less likely to have been previously diagnosed with coronary artery disease. They were more likely to have other health problems, such as congestive heart failure, high blood pressure, obesity and other issues, and to have cardiac arrest caused by problems other than a blood vessel blockage, such as pulmonary embolism.
The study cannot pinpoint causes of the gender gap, the authors said.
Kim said better educational outreach across the community — not just to doctors, nurses, and first responders, but citizens on the street — could improve cardiac arrest survival rates. More people should be taught about cardiac arrest, how to perform CPR, and what defibrillators do.
Unlike some of the other disorders, "cardiac arrest is one of the few medical emergencies where there's a huge impact due to how the public responds to it. If someone can get to a patient right away and do CPR, that patient has a chance," Kim said
Cardiac arrest occurs when the heart abruptly stops functioning due to malfunction of its electrical system. In 2014, about 356,500 people in the United States suffered out-of-hospital cardiac arrests; only12 percent of those treated by emergency medical services survived.

Review: Living Sacrifice – The Infinite Order [2010]
Christian metal veterans Living Sacrifice return with a devastating assortment of thrash, death, and groove on The Infinite Order.
The guitar riffs of Rocky Gray and Bruce Fitzhugh gallop with the raw power that we used to worship Pantera for, while also offering a speedier as well as a more alternative feel. It is unfortunate that the younger bands these days can't pull this off correctly, or at least to a satisfactory level.
The more sentimental tracks "God is my Home" and "Love Forgives" contain great feel-good tones while tracks like "Overkill Exposure" and "Organized Lie" kick your teeth in without remorse.
Fitzhugh leads this multifaceted God-fearing madness with beautifully orchestrated Max Cavalera styled death grunts and bassist Arthur Green flawlessly lays down the low end.
Most of the tracks feature brief guitar solos that alternate between traditional shredding, dual harmonies, and even clean breakdowns ("The Training").
Drummer Lance Garvin adds little metallic percussive nuances on several tracks such as "Nietzsche's Madman" that advance the overall listening experience.
It is very clear that the guitar riffs are the strongest component of Living Sacrifice's latest affair which make the album worth checking out alone. Add the solid rhythm section, courtesy of the thrash percussion, and the hardcore leadership and you have the first solid metal album of 2010 –Meds
Living Sacrifice is Bruce Fitzhugh (Vocals/Guitar), Rocky Gray (Guitar/Vocals), Arthur Green (Bass/Vocals), & Lance Garvin (Drums).
Track Listing:
- "Overkill Exposure"
- "Rules of Engagement"
- "Nietsche's Madman"
- "Unfit To Live"
- "The Training"
- "Organized Lie"
- "The Reckoning"
- "Love Forgives"
- "They Were One"
- "God Is My Home"
- "Apostasy"

Hey guys! I was so excited by the all the questions you all had for me!! So let's get started!
Q: "Why did you start your blog?"
A: I started my blog because it's something I have always wanted to do. I'm so passionate about fashion, food and sharing all the goodies that I find! I think its the best when us ladies support each other and help each other out! Blogging is the perfect creative outlet for me. I love getting to interact with so many other inspiring and awesome bloggers. I think it's so great that I get to share my love and interests with other people who are interested in all the same things.
Q: "What's your skincare routine?"
A: My skin routine is extremely simple. I honestly have very sensitive skin so I try not to use a lot of different and new products. I remember I once bought a face mask and after using it my face totally broke out! It was the worst thing ever. My routine is as simple as washing my face in the morning and washing it at night before bed. I use Neutrogena Makeup Remover wipes to remove all of my makeup. Then after that I go over my face again with Clearasil ultra rapid action pads! I HIGHLY recommend these. I stopped using these for a month or so and my face was having all sorts of random break outs and when I started using them again it literally, NO LIE, cleared up over night. As far as moisturizer I use Clean and Clear moisturizer morning and night.
Neutrogena Makeup Remover Wipes here
Clearasil Ultra Rapid Action Pads here
Clean & Clear Moisturizer here
Q: "What are your makeup tips and fav products?"
A: As far as my favorite makeup products and tips I have everything linked HERE ! This is my go-to makeup look! I'm not joking when I say that I only ever do my makeup like this. Whenever I try a new look it never turns out right and I always just wish I had stuck with my normal makeup haha. I'm a creature of habit so when I like something I'll stick with that until I'm ready to move onto something else! Also I get asked about my lips all the time! First off, no I have never had lip injections they are just my natural lips. Secondly, I only ever use one liner and one lipstick. They are my all time favorites and will probably stay that way for a while. They are also linked in the link above! One of my favorite tips is to always wear lip liner. It makes your lips pop so much more. I put lots on to be honest and then I take my matte lip stick and go over my lips and all the liner and it seriously looks great. It never looks half as good without the liner! I used to never wear liner because when I put it on it always looked like way too much but it looks a lot more normal once you put lipstick on over it. My other suggestion is get lash extensions if you can. They are pretty pricey but boy are they worth it! It cuts getting ready time in half and you always look done up no matter what! It's the best!!!
Q: "How do you edit your blog photos and what camera do you use?"
A: I always upload the photos to my computer then transfer them to my phone and I do my editing on there! The apps that I use are Snapseed, VSCO and PostVu. PostVu is an awesome app my friend showed me and it allows you to add photos into your feed without actually uploading them to your Instagram so you are able to see what they will look like in your feed and if they match! VSCO is my favorite also. I really love all their filters! The Camera I use is a Canon Rebel T5i. I really love it.
I covered the questions that the majority of you guys asked so if you have any extra questions feel free to comment below and I'll be sure to get back to you! I hope that helped you guys!! Thanks for the support y'all are the best!!

Sony's got a new black rectangle coming out soon, and the latest set of alleged internet leaks of the hardware confirm it's not going to be much of a drastic redesign.
The supposed Xperia Z3 images come via experienced phone-leaker EVLeaks, and show a similar thing to that which we've seen before in a slightly earlier, blurrier leak. The sides appear to be a little more rounded than they were on the Xperia Z2, and... that's about it. Given how well received Sony's recent phones have been, a slight tweak is probably all the series needs. [EVLeaks]

For more than 30 years, we have been committed to providing you with the best of nature. And so everything began: in the early 1980s business with fragrances boomed. The market was flooded by synthetic oils - any conceivable fragrance could be cheaply manufactured in the laboratory. The possible negative effects of these fragrances on health seemed to play no role.
The knowledge and conviction that only natural essential oils have a positive influence on the body, the love for these precious natural ingredients and the lack of supply led to the founding of Bergland in 1981 with the aim of providing these natural fragrances in the best quality available put. After a few years, the desire to use the oils more intensively - the idea was born to develop natural cosmetics with essential oils.
In the role of pioneer, we established a first range of tea tree cosmetics, and what began in manual work soon led to a modern production plant, which today produces a wide range of certified natural cosmetics according to the highest quality standards ( BDIH standard ). We also have a selection of food supplements and food.
Under the motto "naturally top", we are now researching and producing for you with 60 employees in Heimertingen in the picturesque Allgäu.

You may not have heard of Russel Wright, but no one had a greater influence on the look and style of the mid-century American home than Wright.
"For more than 40 years beginning in the 1920's, the industrial designer Russel Wright was to Macy's and other New York stores what Michael Graves is today to Target and Martha Stewart is to Kmart," said The New York Times in 2006. "His philosophy — good design is for everyone — spawned a lifestyle movement. Everything manufactured in his name, including dinnerware, furniture and household items, was sophisticated, and all of it was cheap. With a genial smile and marketing genius, he ushered modernism out of the museum and into middle-class suburbia."
Those familiar with Wright's iconic designs can see evidence of his influence on the sets of Mad Men. Today, Bauer Pottery of Los Angeles has the exclusive license to produce Russel Wright's dinnerware — the most widely sold American ceramic dinnerware in history — the American Modern™ line designed by Russel Wright®, based on Wright's original designs.
Bauer Pottery will send a Russel Wright American Modern™ pitcher and four tumblers (valued at $164.00) for a lucky winner: perfect for your home …and your next Mad Men dinner party! Enter to win!

The Guatemalan Human Rights Commission estimates only 62% of Guatemalan children complete 6th grade, and less than 11% complete a secondary education.
The Alternative Learning Center (2002-present)
In 2002, UPAVIM established the Alternative Learning Center to offer children from La Esperanza and neighboring communities a school where they study in a safe and stimulating atmosphere. The school works to inspire the children to have a desire for learning to encourage them to continue in their education. They are also exposed to the values and personal skills needed to become an informed and active member of their community and their country.
Currently the Alternative Learning Center has classes from Kindergarten to 6th grade, attends to over 150 children and employs 8 teachers and a Director. A monthly fee of 175 quetzales (US$23) covers tuition costs, though uniform, books, materials, and registration costs are separate. The school is funded by fees but mostly from the sale of our handmade crafts. Breakfast is provided to all students and they are encouraged to practice healthy habits with hygienic and health routines as part of the daily schedule- from teeth brushing to exercise classes and nutrition guidelines. In collaboration with the UPAVIM public library and librarian, each grade participates in a literature program once a week where reading, writing, research, and critical thinking skills are reinforced.
UPAVIM CAA is currently in the process of integrating a Montessori style teaching approach, training teachers and implementing the philosophy in the classrooms grade by grade. In 2016 the kindergarten class began the year with Montessori practice, and the upcoming 2017 school year will include first grade in this program.

This summer I was traveling to Kolkata to visit my friends and family and decided to make some DIY skin care product for them. This was supposed to be my first sample batch to be given to them for trial and hence there was immense pressure sub consciously to make it perfect.
So I started researching on a perfect recipe on face scrubs which includes honey & shea butter along with the oil to make it really nourishing. But to my surprise each one of them didnt gave me a proportion which could be used exactly the way it is to give me the desired granulated consistency required to make a scrub which looks like it is professionally done. And hence I started experimenting with different portion of honey, oil & butter.
After a lot of mix and match, below is the perfect recipe which came out to be skin perfect (a coined termed to match something like picture perfect :P). And I stored it in sample containers to hand it over to my friends.
- 1 tbsp Granulated Sugar (Tate & Lyle buy it here)
- 1-2 drops of raw honey
- 1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tsp Shea butter
- 3 drop of Tea Tree Essential Oil
- 3 drops of Peppermint Essential Oil
- Dried rosemary herb
- Place sugar in a mixing bowl
- Add Olive oil & honey to it
- Warm Shea butter in microwave and add it to the sugar
- Add rosemary herbs to the bowl
- Now mix all the ingredients
- Finally ad essential oil and mix once again, Voila the scrub is ready
- Oils & Essential oils can be sourced from various vendors in India. Read my previous blog on Base oils to know more.
- Raw honey should be unfiltered and organic. I used Conscious Food organic honey.
- Rosemary herbs can be sourced from local grocery store too. I bought this from Nutramine.in
- Shea butter can be bought from Green junction.
Would love to hear from you once to try this at home.
Love Loads ! Shrads!

Everyone could use a little help de-stressing, especially busy college students. For those who have been interested in meditation, but feel too busy to give it a try, consider the following information on simple ways to begin practicing meditation in your daily life without taking up much time.
According to The Chopra Center, meditation is an ancient art that existed as early as 5000 B.C. and wasn't officially documented until much later in 1500 B.C. Without going into a full history lesson, note that this practice has had such longevity because of its legitimate benefits.
The physical and mental benefits of meditation may become more significant the longer you practice. In the past few years, countless studies have shown the positive benefits people receive from meditation. According to Collective Evolution, meditation has been shown to help decrease blood pressure and anxiety. One particular study found that meditating every day over a three-month period provided the best results for combatting stress, according to Science of People. Science of People also found research that indicates meditating can drastically improve mental focus. These are just a few of the noted changes people have experienced through meditation.
I'll admit that it is very difficult to attempt to meditate when you have a lot on your mind: a busy workload, daily stress, etc. The mind tends to wander, and I know I find myself impatiently waiting to open my eyes and carry on with my day. Recently, I have been trying harder to maintain focus. Everyone's intricate mind works differently and the meditational methods that inspire some may be less beneficial to others.
I personally find sitting in silence to be distracting for my mind, so I downloaded a meditation application on my phone to help guide me. There is a bevy of calming meditation apps in the app store that offer daily guided meditations. It's useful having the voice on the app guide your thoughts in order to prevent mind-wandering. If you don't know where to start with meditating, I recommend downloading one of these apps for some structure and guidance.
Remember to start small. Trying to meditate for a long period of time can be tedious and counterproductive, so begin with just a few minutes at a time. Perhaps start with a 3–5 minute seated meditation, and work your way up to 10 minutes. A seated 10-minute meditation is the ideal amount of time to reset your mind during a busy, stressful day. If you're up for it and are maintaining focus, try to go longer!
There are no set guidelines for meditation; it is a personal practice. Short meditations can be particularly useful to combat academic stress. A two-minute meditation in the library after long hours of schoolwork can help alleviate writer's block and is an essential break from staring at the computer screen. I personally have found this short meditation to be the most useful in the mid-afternoon at peak tiredness.
Explore meditation! You have nothing to lose from it except for a few minutes time, and there is so much to gain from making it a part of your daily routine. Try different methods: seated vs. standing, eyes closed vs. eyes open, using a guiding app vs. sitting in silence. There is no wrong way to meditate; it just might take some practice to learn which methods work best for you. It can be tedious as a beginner, but give it a try because everyone could use a little help alleviating the inevitable academic stress that comes hand in hand with college.

Top: Rhubarb-strawberry-blueberry crumble pie with chai coconut ice cream.
Bottom: Greek yogurt with granola and freshly-picked wild blueberries.
I've already crossed several items off my "Month in Michigan" to-do list: pie for breakfast, watch a storm roll in across the bay, root beer barrels at the Downtowner, solo kayaking... all while working from my home-away-from-home. Now Kathleen and Jeremy are visiting for a few days (it's the third time they've been up!), and Micah is coming up at the end of the week, which means it's actually vacation time for me now. So, I'm taking the next two weeks off: from work, from the blog, from wearing anything but pajamas and bikinis.
I'll see you in early August, when I get back to North Carolina. Until then, you can follow me on Instagram to watch as I cross off more of my vacation list (bike around Mackinac Island, hike around Tahquamenon Falls, beers at Soo Brewery, full moon ritual bonfire, skinnydipping, big-wave swimming, kayaking with Micah).

BizSpark Startup of the Day on Windows Phone - TB-ELECTRONICS
We can think of one way you would want to use Color Analyzer, the app made for Windows 8 by Swiss startup TB-Electronics. Let's say you are designing your house, but you are having trouble describing precisely the red you want. You can turn your phone and shoot a photo of an object of that precise color and the app does its magic by finding it in the color spectrum, identifying it and naming it.
The app was made over a few months with software provided by the Microsoft BizSpark program -- Visual Studio 2012, IIS7, Windows Phone Camera, Accelerator.
Do you build for scale first, or for revenue? How are those things related in your mind?
This app was done as first try of how it can work and how it can be usable. Second application is just more comfortable and created for using it every day.
Do you make reasonable predictions about how you are going to achieve revenue and then test them out, or do you start with a business model and deploy it, to see if it brings in revenue?
Our team has tons of ideas of apps. The only point is time. We are just doing apps which makes really fun or which are good responsible in development time to usage.
What questions do you and your technical co-founder / engineering team feel are the most important to solve about the business aspects of your company?
There are a lot of offers around the market. But in real, not a lot really increases the profit. Most are just creating work. But otherwise most offers which are new and making fun are innovative and are not made for profit.
When did you decide that you were "startup material"?
Every day when I got new ideas.
What impact or legacy do you hope to make in the market and in the business world?
Improve quality, processes and fun of work in this world.
What are some of the challenges you face as a founder or developer at a startup, when it comes to dealing with family life, or socially? Does working on a startup change the way you associate and interact in these areas?
To be responsible for myself is a big step after reaching 18th age. To be responsible for others and family it is another big step after startup. To keep responsible and grow up, it is the most challenge.
Obligatory questions that assist us in marketing
Can you describe the relationship that you have had with Microsoft in building your startup?
I was at www.activevb.de and got connection that way. Also though Sasha Corti the local Microsoft startup Evangelist.

Iodine is best known for its central role in healthy function of your thyroid gland. A little less known, are its other important health benefits such as its crucial role for brain development in children, maintaining breast health in women, preventing some cancers and even helping female fertility.
Iodine deficiency (a lack of sufficient iodine in the diet), on the other hand, can cause weight gain, low energy, depression, cardiovascular disease, cognitive decline, and a variety of cancers. It has also been linked to fibrocystic breast disease, a non-cancerous condition in which breasts feel tender and lumpy.
So how does Iodine play a role in helping women become pregnant?
" In a study led by the US National Institute of Child Health and Human Development; women with moderate-to-severe iodine deficiency were 46% less likely to become pregnant during each menstrual cycle than women whose iodine were deemed sufficient.
Women who are thinking of becoming pregnant may need more iodine." (1)
Once a woman is pregnant, iodine is crucial for proper fetal brain and nervous development and to help regulate the baby's metabolism. The evolutionary reasons for this are clear: iodine is essential to the developing newborn brain, so the mother's body must have a direct means of supplying iodine to the nursing infant. (2)(3)
A deficiency during pregnancy can also cause the mother to suffer from an underactive thyroid marked by fatigue, cold sensitivity and other symptoms.
Despite the important health benefits of Iodine, rates of iodine deficiency have reached epidemic levels, increasing fourfold over the past 40 years. A startling 74% of normal, "healthy" adults may no longer be consuming sufficient quantities. (4)
Fortunately, all iodine deficiency disorders and related health dangers can be prevented by adequate intake of iodine. The best dietary source of iodine includes seafood, yogurt, milk and eggs; it is also often added to salt known as Iodized salt.
Making sure to consume enough Iodine is crucial for your health and for your future baby's health as well!

Home Delivery From TJ's and Costco Via Instacart Raises $8.5M
San Francisco-based Instacart has raised $8.5M led by Sequoia Capital. Also backing are Khosla Ventures, Canaan Partners, SVAngel and Paul Buchheit, the creator of Gmail.
Instacart will shop for and deliver groceries to your door within 2 hours for a fee of $3.99. You can order from Costco, Whole Foods or Trader Joes,which don't deliver. The comparable here is not to Webvan or Amazon groceries but to a freelance car service like Lyft where anybody with a car can be a driver. We don't get how at that price they will get someone to drive to a store and buy groceries then drive to the customer's home.
The deal is notable because Sequoia's Mike Mortiz was on the board of Webvan. He says"We had still been receiving outpatient therapy for our Webvan fiasco," says Moritz, who's joining the year-old company's board. Still, with Instacart, he says, "There is little danger of a relapse." Everyone we know who was involved with Webvan says that the model works and there are a number of companies providing it today. Other than the pricing we wonder what happens if Trader Joes and Costco start to home deliver.
Instacart today says it has 200 personal shoppers in the Bay Area. The Instacart app has maps of local supermarkets and can direct personal shoppers to specific aisles. Founder Apoorva Mehta says Instacart's "secret sauce" is its fulfillment software, which allows the online retailer to combine orders placed at different times and fill them from different stores.

An Endodontist is a dentist that primarily specializes in the cause, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of any damage or injury to the tooth pulp as well as the tissue and nerves within and surrounding the root of a tooth that have become damaged or infected due to some type of bacteria.
Endodontist Job Responsibilities
An Endodontist's specialized training allows for him or her to be able to perform many treatments including dental trauma, Endodontic treatment, and cracked teeth. Perhaps the procedure that an Endodontist is most recognized for is root canal therapy. Root canal surgery is recommended by a patients primary dentist in an attempt to save the impacted tooth and because of the specialized training that an Endodontist has, patients are typically referred to this specialist to have the procedure done.
Additionally, Endodontists also can prescribe to patients prosthodontic fixtures like dentures and implants. Oftentimes, these fixtures are created by the Endodontist and he or she will install them in the patients mouth and/or teach them the proper way to install the fixtures. Also, because an Endodontist has undergone the requisite dental training he or she can also perform routine dental procedures like teeth cleaning, extractions, and even bleaching. Needless to say the job responsibilities of an Endodontist are wide and varied.
Endodontist Training and Education Requirements
In the United States, it is required that all dentists be licensed in order to practice and in order to become licensed individuals must graduate from from a dental school that is accredited by the American Dental Association and pass any examinations associated with obtaining licensure. Before a student is admitted into a dental school, students must have a bachelors degree and applicants have to take the Dental Admissions Test (DAT). However in some special cases, a student will be admitted into dental school after securing 2-3 years of undergraduate study and will obtain their bachelor degree while in dental school. In order to excel at in dental school, it is recommended that students have undergrad degrees in such subjects as biology, chemistry, or some other science, although this is not necessary. Dental school lasts 4 years and an Endodontist must undergo an additional 2-3 years of training after successfully completing dental school. Currently there are over 50 different Endodontist schools in the United States, after successfully completing training the candidate will become eligible to sit for the American Board of Endodontology exam and once he or she successfully passes all requisite exams then he or she will be awarded a Diplomate status along with the degree of Dental Surgery (DDS) or Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD).
Endodontist Salary and Wages
As with most careers, an Endodontist's salary can be varied and takes into consideration a lot of factors including experience, location, and whether an Endodontist is self-employed and works in a private practice or if he or she is salaried and works for a hospital, family dental office, or the military. On average, according to Payscale, in October 2010, the average base salary range for an Endodontist was between $120,000 and $202,950. This does not include bonuses, which can be an additional $2,948 to $27,469 each year.*
*According to the BLS, http://www.bls.gov/oco/
Endodontist Certifications
Again, anyone who is interested in practicing dentistry must be licensed and in order to obtain licensure, the prospective candidate must be enrolled in an accredited dental school. This school must pass all of the stringent requirements of the American Dental Association. Upon completion of the classroom and lab portion of dental school, candidates must successfully pass all written and practical portions of the National Board Dental Examination. After the individual secures his or her degree in Dental Surgery (DDS) then they can apply to Endodontist school. To obtain board certification from Endodontist school, dentists have to apply to the American Board of Endodontology (ABE) and after all requirements are satisfied, then he or she is a Diplomate of the ABE and is able to legally practice.
Endodontist Professional Associations
There are several professional associations to which an Endodontist can be a member. One of the biggest associations that all dentists, no matter their specialization, are a member of is the American Dental Association (ADA) and is a leading association for professionals and the ADA also helps promote good oral health to the public as well.
The American Association of Endodontists (AAE) is a professional organization that was created exclusively for Endodontists. The AAE helps promote research and fosters ideas that encourage excellence in the field of Endodontics.
Academy of General Dentistry was organized to provide ongoing education for dentists. Again, since Endodonists primarily work with tooth pulp and root canals most days, it is important to stay abreast of other general dental procedures.
American Academy of Fixed Prosthdontics is a professional organization that fosters competency in the practice of crown and bridge prosthodontics as well as additional research in the field.

It's okay to bend this way to get started, but after a while it would be best to focus on bending using only your tongue and mouth without tilting. You'll find that you have more freedom and ease with this technique over time.
I've learned to bend notes by tilting the harmonica up so that my lip covers part of the hole. Is this method okay?

Teens with ADHD often face a time when they want to stop taking ADHD medication. For parents, this can be a scary time. Parents might remember what life was like "before medication." They might have sought treatment because of behavioral problems, poor grades in school or a combination of both. The thought of going back to a time when every day was a struggle is accompanied with worry. Instead of creating a power struggle, however, the situation can be used as an opportunity for growth.
Discover the reasons behind the request
There are many different reasons why a teen might decide he or she no longer wants to take medication. As a parent, before making any decisions, sit down with your teen and open a discussion to find out why. Some of the reasons teens choose not to take medication include:
- Not wanting to be different than their peers
- A feeling that their new level of maturity gives them a better ability to control symptoms of ADHD without medication
- The belief that symptoms are no longer severe enough to warrant medication
- The concern that medication is stopping them from being their "true" self
Your teen might have additional reasons but you can use these as a way to open up a discussion and find out more about your teen's perspective. Understanding the reasons behind your teen's request to stop medication can help both you and your teen find ways to move forward.
Once your child reaches the teen years, adulthood is just around the corner and that means he or she will be making their own healthcare decisions, including stopping medication. It is best to work with your teen now, when you still have input into these types of decisions and provide guidance on how to make adult decisions.
Set parameters for a test period
ADHD is unique in each person but there are also some common behaviors, such as forgetfulness, not handing in homework, lack of follow-through, incomplete tasks and performing poorly in school. Consider where your teen's weaknesses are and make a list of "test behaviors" you can keep track of while your teen isn't taking medication. Avoid vague statements, such as "you must keep up your school work" or "you must still do well in school." Instead, be specific, such as:
- Handing in homework and assignments (set a limit to how many missed assignments is acceptable, such as one missed assignment per week)
- Receiving a minimum of a B on all tests (or whatever you decide is reasonable)
- Completing chores at home without being reminded (or with one reminder only)
- Not being late to school and/or work
- Not getting into trouble for behavior at school
Decide when you want to sit down again to review how your teen is doing without medication, for example in two weeks or one month. Make sure both you and your teen agree on how the results will be measured, for example, let your teen know if before your review you plan to talk to teachers at school to see how everything is going at school.
Set limits if necessary
Some parents agree that teens can reduce, but not eliminate medication, for example, parents might insist that medication is used if a teen will be driving. If you have limitations such as this, make them clear. If your teen is currently on a long-acting medication, it might be necessary to get a prescription for short-acting medication that he or she can take for just these times.
Review the results
Once the test period is over, sit down with your teen and review the areas you deemed as important. Has he or she lived up to the expectations? Based on the review, you can choose to extend the time without medication, making it clear you will continue to review progress and behavior on a monthly basis.
By giving your teen a chance to try to manage ADHD without medication, you respect their ability to make decisions in their life. But you have also given guidance on how to measure the results of a decision and then review whether the decision was best. Your teen might decide that the benefits of taking medication are worthwhile and may decide to continue doing so.

We all hate scripting. In fact most people (like 99.99 % of the entire planet) when they look at a bunch of code, find it so intimidating and complex that they won't even try. Others just don't even have the time to learn how to script, it's months of study and learning. The biggest problem with Future Pinball (and especially VPX now) is the scripting, it was always the scripting, and will be the scripting in the future.
The FPx template is designed to replace the stock New Table template in Future Pinball. This one will be aimed right at beginners, in fact, with luck, it may work exactly like the Pinball Construction set. This not only fixes the bugs and incompleteness of the New_table template, it also adds more features that every beginner would want, and then presents it in such a way to make it as easy to use as possible.
It is so easy to mess up a script, especially the high level code of a scoring and logic template. Even advanced coders can mess up pretty easily, because all the code is MIXED IN together. FPx divides the script in to 2 parts, with the first part a user section, and the second portion the actual engine. The engine contains "Hooks" to the user section, this allows just about everyone to make simple changes without needing to touch the engine at all, and yet be able to use one of the most powerful, full featured engines available for Future Pinball.
The FPx template is designed for those who want to get their feet wet with scripting, and yet has all the power and features for Intermediate coders to use.
Here's a list of features:
' 4 players support
' Bonus count up to 159, bonus multiplier up to 15x
' Replaced tilt system with a custom plumb bob tilt setup
' Added Variables for easy settings. balls per game, bonus, replay scoring etc
' 2 ball multiball
' Player memory system that requires typing in one line of code per light
' ball save, extra ball, special and jackpot support
' Complete routines included for all aspects of arcade tables, from power up, light Attract mode to a match feature
' Initialization, Light Attract, Match routines all ready included
' easy control of lights for Light Attract and game play, no typing required
' Pause key plays tune
' 9 element x4 translight display, Hud display x2 A.N.D. (Alpha Numeric Display) to support up to Williams System 11
' HUD display can be hidden or shown using the default HUD key set in the editor (Usually the tithe key, just below the esc key)
' Pre-set unified Bally type scoring
' Debug system variable for code testing in place. press F9 key at editor. Also writes to text file during debug mode to track code
' Special HUD displays for debug mode, shows bonus etc
' Multiple sound system capability with background music support
' Solid State and A.N.D. support HUD display
' Preset feature scoring Extra ball/Special etc with just one line of code
' Easy Beginners Fail safe system. All access needed for easy modification of the engine in ONE place without needing to touch the engine code
' You can add/remove/replace lights, sounds, change the display, adjust timers etc through this one setup
' Code is heavily remarked, and teachs you new methods as you work your way down the hit code
' Engine is fully automated as possible, so no need to touch the engine code, no rocket science degree needed.
' A brief tutorial is included in the script, at the very bottom
The FPx template is now available at Pinball Nirvana, and will be uploaded to other sites. Screenshot at the download page

For those of you who were wondering, yes I am still very much a cinema geek dating back to my 'cinephile' post a little while back I can tell you with great certainty that nothing has changed. In fact now that my life has a bit of routine in it since leaving university earlier this year I'm a more active cinema goer than ever, and my unlimited card has certainly been through the ringer these past few weeks with the latest in Christmas releases, from Paddington and Horrible Bosses 2 to the Hobbit and the Hunger Games my cinema life has never seen so much action!
But today I wanted to tell you about an unexpected gem that I suspect may go overlooked by many a cinema goer in the coming weeks and just as a word of recommendation from me I highly suggest you see Bill Murray's latest acting endeavour 'St Vincent'
|St Vincent Movie Poster 2014
Now I know what a lot of you will be thinking, Bill Murray is often viewed as a love him or hate him kind of actor and well I love him and my mother hates him, but in this film I can't imagine anybody not being able to muster at least a smirk at his comedic performance as inappropriate aging childminder Vincent!
I will try not to give too much of the story away but in the opening scenes we are introduced to the crass, elderly veteran Vincent de Van Nuys (Bill Murray) who lives out his days drinking hard liquor, wasting his money at the race tracks and generally making others around him a bit miserable. Of course when introduced to his new neighbours, Maggie (Melissa McCarthy) and her 12 year old son Oliver (Jadeb Lieberher), is nothing but his typical grumpy self. Following unexpected difficulties at school, Oliver finds himself in the care of Vincent after an opportunity to squeeze some cash from single mother Maggie presents itself.
Vincent and Oliver go on to share in all kinds of debauchery and archaic experiences including a few stints at the race track, broken noses and of course Olivers introduction to Daka (Naomi Watts), a 'lady of the night' Throughout the course of the film Vincent and Oliver forge an unlikely friendship which is both heartwarming and endearing to witness. The film has scenes of laughter, love and heartbreak and I would recommend it to anyone who would like to avoid the shiny shiny of the many blockbusters we have thrust in our faces these days in favour of a gem of a film.
Happy watching until next time folks!

Websites and online stores offer convenience, however, buying diamond jewelry online can be challenging! Here are 3 killer tips everyone should know!
Today, you can buy just about anything online. Even some things that seem best suited for a physical store have crossed over into the digital world and diamonds are no exception.
We can all agree that websites offer comfort and convenience, however, buying jewelry without touching it and seeing it in person can be a real challenge.
We have a few great tips for you to keep in mind while buying diamond jewelry online:
Know what you are really getting – The first thing you need to do is set a budget and after that decide which characteristics are important to you. Diamonds are graded according to the four C's which is a system created by the GIA or Gemological Institute of America. The 4 basic criteria are clarity, color, cut, and carat weight. It is super important to know where a diamond falls into these categories as that will affect the end price. You need to search for a diamond that fits within your budget and always pay attention to the Cs.
Take your time – It is important to determine whether or not the diamond seller is legitimate. We always recommend the potential buyers to read the customer reviews on the website or check for BBB accreditation. When it comes to payment, use your credit card as the best method of payment. Also, it is really important to look into the return policy. In case you want to return the diamond, you should know the terms and conditions. Most reliable sellers offer a 30-day guarantee.
Weigh your options – You need to make sure you are totally comfortable with your purchase. According to GIA and the experts, you need to find an online seller that also has a physical location or a showroom where you can see the diamonds.
Online jewelry retailers such as Blue Nile, James Allen, Brilliant Earth, and others offer high-quality photos and videos of their diamonds so you can see what you are getting.
Brilliant Earth has showrooms at different locations including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Denver, San Diego, Chicago, Boston, and Washington, DC. You can schedule an appointment and have a one-hour visit with a professional jeweler who can help you choose the right piece of jewelry.
You can also visit their online store and take a look at the extensive collection of diamonds they offer.

I've always been a big fan of my slow cooker, but I recently got a pressure cooker, despite my fears of blowing up my kitchen. I AM IN LOVE.
I'm not a devout meal prep girl, but one thing I do sometimes is make a big batch of shredded meat and either freeze it for future meals or use it throughout the week. Already having seasoned, cooked protein is such a timesaver on busy weeknights!
Today I'm going to give you a basic shredded pot roast recipe and show you three easy meals to make with it.
I realize that not all of you have a pressure cooker, so I'll give slow cooker directions as well. You have a slow cooker, right? If not, you can have one of mine. I'm somewhat of a slow cooker hoarder.
Okay, start off with a 4-5 pound beef roast. The cut doesn't really matter as long as it's got a lot of meat on it. I prefer boneless roasts, but you can use a bone-in roast if you like.
If you're using a pressure cooker, you'll need to cut the roast into large chunks. For slow cookers, this step is optional, but it will cut down on some cooking time if you cut it up.
I also showered the roast with a few generous pinches of sea salt and cracked black pepper.
There's a big "to sear or not to sear" debate. Many recipes will ask you to sear the meat on both sides before pressure cooking or slow cooking to add flavor to the meat, and I do it occasionally if I think that I'll really need a flavor boost. In this case I'll let you make the call. Personally, I didn't think that this recipe needed it.
Plus, it's an extra step and and extra dirty pan. I don't blame you if you want to avoid that.
We want this meat to be versatile so I seasoned it very neutrally—like a classic pot roast. Mushrooms are optional but I found that they gave the pot juices more substance, and slow-cooked mushrooms are to die for.
In that little bowl is a mixture of flavor-boosting ingredients: garlic, onion powder, crushed pepper flakes, and Worcestershire sauce (you can substitute coconut aminos if you happen to be eating paleo or Whole30 compliant).
Add the mushrooms and the bowl o' flavor along with some beef broth to the pot.
If you're using a pressure cooker, it'll need to process on high pressure for 2 hours. If you're using an Instant Pot, set it to Manual for 120 minutes.
If you're using a slow cooker, close the lid and cook it on low for 8–10 hours (for a whole roast) or 6–8 hours (for a cut-up roast).
By now your house will smell pretty amazing and you'll have fall-apart tender beef to pull out of your pot. Shred it with a couple of forks.
Divide the beef, mushrooms, and pot juices into three containers. You may want to put the lids on quickly in case you have a 2-year-old climbing around. They love stuff like this.
You can either freeze these portions or use them in meals during the week! Either way you've got a big chunk of dinner prep done.
Here are 3 meals to get you started!
Simple Shredded Beef and Broccoli Stir-FryOne option is to do a simple shredded beef stir-fry. If you have a favorite stir-fry sauce, use about 1/2 cup of that. I included a from-scratch recipe below.
BBQ Ranch Baked PotatoesHere's another option! This one is FOUR ingredients. Okay, five if you need a garnish. And maybe six if you roast some broccoli. But still. It's quick and delicious and you'll be a Tuesday night hero.
Shredded Beef Tex-Mex SaladGuys, I could eat Tex-Mex salads every single day of my life, and boosting this pot roast with some taco seasoning is a dream come true.
And yes, this recipe has ranch dressing, too. I'm six years old, okay?
What would you do with a giant pot of shredded beef? I'd love to have more meal ideas to add to my arsenal!

The man who resigned from the cabinet over Gordon Brown's leadership urges him to learn from the "remarkable" work of London Citizens – in connecting local people with political debate.
On May 6th, Dr Rob Gilbert (Fellow of Magdalen) and Ian Vijay Bhullar (PPE, Keble, 2006-2009) will speak about the impact of community organising on the General Election.
Rob's placement with the Contextual Theology Centre followed Citizens UK's response to the credit crunch through the autumn – and as he speaks, the alliance has secured commitments from all three main parties on these issues.
Ian is currently a year-round Jellicoe intern, and his work on the Sanctuary Pledge will also be part of Citizens UK's agenda at its forthcoming General Election Assembly in Westminster.
Book your place with the co-ordinator, Revd Angus Ritchie (email@example.com) and join us at 9pm in the New Rooms, Magdalen College – for free-flowing wine and discussion… After the seminar, there will be an opportunity to go to a nearby room and watch the results of the election as they begin to come in.
2010 is shaping up to be an eventful year for the Jellicoe Community. As we head towards the General Election, London Citizens' anti-usury campaign will reach a new level – and our Centre will be playing a key role in this work. In Oxford, we are planning an exciting week of events on Christian faith and community organising – including the launch of a short film on the Jellicoe Community at an event at Keble College with the Bishop of Oxford. You can follow this on our 'Crunch Time' blog.
Later in the year, we will be marking the 75th anniversary of the death of Fr Basil Jellicoe – about which more details will follow soon.
