And since we were having company over the other weekend, I snipped a few of my hydrangea blooms to use with my West Elm vase I have yet to use in the front entrance.
I love the summer blooming season!

Cebit 2008: Green and Cheap – Round Table Discussion in Hanover
Environmental protection and cost savings are not mutually exclusive. The hype topic Green IT was the subject of a press conference on Monday by CeBIT organizers Messe AG with representatives of various companies and a spokesperson for the global Climate Savers Initiative.
During its service life, a server consumes electricity worth as much as the server's purchasing price; saving power not only cuts costs, it is also environmentally friendly – especially if you consider that the CO2 emission by the IT industry is about two percent and thus on a partition with CO2 emission caused by air traffic.
This is why this year's CeBIT motto is Green IT.
Low-energy devices are one approach to greener IT. Their potential becomes apparent when you consider that about a billion people world wide use PCs, but only a few use efficient power management or avoid unnecessary standby operations.
Saving power is just one aspect. The WWF representative, Dr. Bernhard Bauske, pointed out that the next big challenge will be to consider a device's total life cycle, from sourcing of raw materials and supplier's operations, through production and production deployment, to disposal. Taking the ecological footprint into consideration, people would have to ask themselves if they really need to bin their cellphones every 18 months, or if a modular design and upgrades might help to improve environmental friendliness.
A Green IT Village at CeBIT demonstrates what offices and datacenters can achieve today. Virtualization releases enormous potential at the datacenter by consolidating up to ten servers on a single physical system. Each of the systems would consume US$ 700 to 800 worth of electricity a year. But modern office technology can drastically reduce power consumption. Even bigger savings can be made by avoiding business trips and using video conferencing. The CO2 footprint of a single transatlantic flight is equivalent to 80 teleconferencing sessions.

Dyn's Hackademy provides mobile apps for NH nonprofits
Hackademy, held for the second year, is the brainchild of Dyn CEO Jeremy Hitchcock, who envisioned it as a way to set people on a path to a bright future. It was also a way to get a look at outstanding students who might be recruited to work at Dyn someday.
"We hope that makes them realize what is possible," Hitchcock said.
The event wrapped up Sunday with a presentation to their clients of the iPhone apps they developed for the nonprofits.
"We didn't tell them what they were going to do," Rafieymehr said.
The students were divided into six teams with different colored T-shirts, bearing the logo and name of their nonprofit.
Kelsey Neil, who will be a junior at Plymouth State University this fall, was one of six women selected for the Hackademy. She is on the programming team at PSU, and when she goes to competitions, she said, she's often the only female. So when she found out that just under a third of the participants were women, she said: "That was huge."
"I don't know exactly," she said. "I take a course and I think 'I want to do this,' and then take another course and want to do that," she said.
She was impressed with the people she met at Dyn.
"We met a ton of people. We heard directly from the CEO," she said. "It was awesome."
John Pelletier, development director for the council, attended the presentation of the iPhone apps Sunday and said he was impressed.
As a result, Scouts won't be doubling up on homes, or skipping them.
Rafieymehr said the apps work, but they can't be used immediately.

Extreme Heat in Summer Affects Your Body
- June 2014
- Posted By JohnnyG
- 0 Comments
The extreme heat of summer can affect your body in many ways. It can be very dangerous, causing all kinds of health problems. While we can't talk about all the problems and how to take care of them, here are some of the major ones and tips to help prevent them. One of the biggest problems people face during the summer is heat exhaustion, the beginning of the more fatal version, heat stroke.
What is heat exhaustion? It's when you are overworking yourself, through exercising, working in a place with high temperatures, or even playing sports. What happens is you start sweating profusely, causing your body to increase blood flow to the extremities in order to try to cool you down. Heavy perspiration also takes moisture away from your vital organs. Between this and less blood flow to these organs, your body will start to go into shock. You get tired, you start feeling run down, and want to go to sleep. Following this is heat stroke, where your body's natural cooling system starts to shut down completely. Your internal temperature rises, and you literally boil from the inside. This causes catastrophic organ failure, brain damage, then death.
One of the biggest things you can do to help prevent this is to make sure you drink enough water on a daily basis. This means that you need to figure out how much you weigh, divide that by 6, then almost double it. This is how many ounces of water you should be drinking every day during the hottest part of the summer, or when there is a heat wave. Cool water does a lot for your body. It cools down your internal temperature, replaces the moisture when you sweat, and improves circulation.
Who is the most susceptible to these major heat problems? The elderly, those under ten, those that are diabetic, or have some kind of autoimmune disease are the most vulnerable. However, anyone of any age can experience heat exhaustion and heat stroke, if they're over exerting themselves.
You need to get out of the sun, and stay somewhere cool during the day. If you can, you need some kind of air conditioning, or ceiling fans installed in your home. There are a number of high quality companies that can help you. For example this commercial electricians in Maryland offer ceiling fan installation. They're called Colonial Electric, and they serve commercial and residential customers all over Maryland, Virginia, and Washington DC. Not only do they install fans and air conditioners, they also service and maintain the ones you have already. Best of all, in an emergency you can count on them to be available.
There are other problems that can arise on hot summer days. The most common is sunburns. Most people end up getting first degree burns, but the longer you're exposed to direct sunlight, the worse it could get. Second degree burns are when your skin has blistering, third degree, the most extreme, is when your skin is literally burning off your body. Staying out of the sun during the hottest part of the day is the best way to prevent burns, but if it can't be avoided, then wearing 30 SPF or higher sunscreen, wearing light long sleeve shirt and a wide brimmed hat are ways you can limit your exposure. Make sure that if you out at the beach, you have some kind of umbrella or other shelter set up, especially if you have small children. Carry plenty of water with you, as mentioned earlier.
These are just a few of the problems that can happen when you're exposed to extreme heat. However, with the proper planning, and knowledge, you can prevent getting sick.

Lab procedures for fiberglass dust testing: This document provides forensic laboratory procedural details for the laboratory identification of fiberglass hazards in air or in settled dust samples collected in residential and light-commercial buildings. Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2014 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved. Laboratory Identification of Fiberglass Fibers & FragmentsFiberglass fragments in air, dust, or material samples are easily identified in the forensic laboratory using light and polarized light microscopy and common slide preparation techniques. While glass fibers can be identified using Cargille(R) certified refractive index liquids, it is easier and faster to examine fibers prepared in almost any common slide mounting solution by looking for the following features:
The two lab photographs of fiberglass insulation just above show, from left, the characteristic concoidal fracture at the end of a fiberglass fiber, and resinous material used as a binder in fiberglass insulation. The resin binder in fiberglass insulation can appear in various colors and which gives fiberglass its individual characteristic color. Determining the source of fiberglass particles found in a building: It may be possible to identify the manufacturer of or at least the source of fiberglass fibers found in a building by comparing the color of resin identified in the microscope with colors observed by visual inspection of fiberglass installed in different building areas. Identifying fiberglass resins and mineral wool insulation: The left hand lab photo of fiberglass show below provides two examples of resinous binder in fiberglass insulation at a lower magnification of about 300x, with the left, triangular resin particle having been bound to two intersecting glass fibers. Notice the considerable variation in fiberglass fiber diameter in this photo - the fibers in this photo might be from different sources as not only are they characteristically different by metrics, but their resins are of different color. Problems in identifying very small fiberglass fragments in air and dust samples: Our own field investigations find that fiberglass particles are quite common in indoor air. Unless the forensic particle laboratory is making a point of counting small fiberglass fragments in indoor air or dust samples, only a large-particle count may be provided and the presence and potential effects of fiberglass dust may be underestimated. Furthermore, proper lab procedure and use of mountants with an appropriate refractive index to see glass fragments is critical as otherwise such particles may simply be invisible when viewed using conventional slide preparation methods. Under polarized light using crossed polars, the glass fibers in these photos will simply disappear from view. (photo not shown - phase contrast microscopy or use of special mounting fluids with an appropriate refractive index may be needed especially to identify small fiberglass fragments.) Photographs of Unbonded Fiberglass Insulation - "Blowing Wools"Above (left) we show a macro photograph of white blown-in unbonded InsulSafe® building insulation sold by CertainTeed and provided by a homeowner who asked our lab to study dust samples from her home. At above right is the same insulation shown in the stereo microscope at about 20x, and below the same material is magnified to 720x. Identifying Contents of House Dust to Screen for Building InsulationAbove (left) we show a 720x micro-photograph of white blown-in unbonded InsulSafe® building insulation sold by CertainTeed. At above right our photo shows the dominant particles in the dust sample from the home under study. Magnified to 720x the fibers we found were primarily cotton, with some linen and a few synthetic fabric fibers. There was virtually none of the insulation fibers provided for comparison (above left) as a possible source of dust in the home. Above (left) a client photo shows a heavy and rapid dust accumulation on building surfaces. At above right our lab photo shows that the prime contents of the dust were fabric fibers and starch granules, not building insulation in this case. - DF & WW 6/2010.

Herbert Anthony Stevens IV (born February 23, 1987),[1] better known by his stage name Ab-Soul, is an American hip hop recording artist from Carson, California. In 2007, he signed to indie record label Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE), where he eventually formed West Coast hip hop group Black Hippy, alongside his label-mates and fellow California-based rappers Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar and Schoolboy Q. He is perhaps best known for his introspective lyrics and his three independent albums under TDE, Longterm Mentality, Control System and These Days..., which were all released to generally positive reviews and moderate success.
Early life[edit]
Ab-Soul was born Herbert Anthony Stevens IV on February 23, 1987, in Los Angeles, California. Soon after his birth, his family relocated to Germany, where his biological father was stationed in the military.[2] Stevens spent the first four years of his life in Germany, right up until his parents split and he and his mother subsequently moved back to the United States, to live in his grandmother's house, in the suburban area of Carson, California.[2] He once recalled being five years old: "I was serious into video games and basketball, at five. But video games for sure. Five… What was that, Nintendo? Sega. Sonic the Hedgehog. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on TV. But I know early on, I really, really liked Michael Jackson, like we all did. Newborn babies loved Michael Jackson."[3]
At age ten, Stevens contracted Stevens–Johnson syndrome which caused him to be hospitalized and is the origin of his dark lips and light-sensitive eyes: "At ten years old, I got very sick. It was a pretty vivid day. I caught a rare virus called Steven-Johnson Syndrome. And it was very, very life-changing for me. It hindered my vision and my skin configuration. It definitely put a huge dent in my hoop dreams. I even kept trying to play. I tried to keep playing with my shades on, it was real funny when I think about it now. A lot of my friends were real cool about it. They wouldn't make me feel different or anything like that, but I just kind of figured… I won't have the sharp vision for that."[3] In his adolescent years however, Stevens was severely teased about his condition: "When I had got sick when I was younger of course it affected my lip skin, so coming up in school I had very dark lips and my eyes were low. I had to wear shades and shit. So I was quite peculiar. People teased me about my lips, and say I look high. I didn't even start smoking weed until after I graduated from high school."[4]
Stevens encountered music at a very young age, due to his family owning a record store.[5] Stevens also began crafting his rapping skills at an early age: "I was on BlackPlanet freestyle chat, rapping my ass off. Text battle. It is a very interesting world. I think that it still exists online, where you freestyle but you type it. They call it keystyle. I think that is where I developed my rhyming skills. I had been rapping a little earlier, maybe around 12 [years old], but when I hopped online and into that culture, that textcee culture. It really got me going as far as being a rapper.[3]
Stevens claims to have written his first verse when he was 12 years old, to the beat of Twista's "Emotions": "I was like, I can do this; I'll try it out. And I wrote it out. That's a day I remember vividly. From that moment I've had a very keen interest in the whole craft. Being a big fan of words and making the real connection with them. Saying things that can make your eyes open up. I can say something and I can turn heads.[6] Nevertheless rapping was just a hobby for Stevens, whose parents had a different future in mind for him: "My parents saw a bright, college-type future for me like as a lawyer, doctor, engineer, or something of that fashion. They put me in these high, gifted courses in school. I don't know how they went about doing that, but I was in them. I think with them wishing that upon me, I imagined it early on. I wasn't too set on being a rapper just yet at 15, it was just some real cool shit."[3]
It was not until he graduated from high school that he began to take his music career seriously: "I just wanted to be tight with [my raps] but I was growing a passion for it. Wasn't until after I graduated from high school and checked into the community college that I realized I wanted to be a rapper full time. I probably did the equivalent of a half a semester total, in my attendance. I tried one semester and dropped out and then I tried another semester and dropped out. So it just didn't work out."[6]
Musical career[edit]
2002-2010: Beginnings and signing to Top Dawg Entertainment[edit]
In 2002, Stevens recorded his first song. In 2005, he signed a recording contract with StreetBeat Entertainment, but just a year later, in 2006, he met Punch, President and Chairman of Carson-based indie record label, Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE), who as Stevens says, saw more in his music "than metaphors and punchlines": "As soon as I had graduated from high school I had signed an independent contract with a small label called StreetBeat Entertainment. Took it as a learning experience. But during that time, I had started working with TDE. That deal was for two years, so as soon as that was up, I built a relationship with TDE and became a member of that family."[7] Before signing to TDE, Stevens was a part of a rap group called Area 51, alongside Brooklyn-native and fellow American rapper Snake Hollywood.[8][9]
In 2007, Stevens officially became part of the Top Dawg roster, which already boasted fellow up-and-coming rappers Jay Rock and K-Dot (now known as Kendrick Lamar). Stevens states the book The Autobiography of Malcolm X (1964) as one of the texts that really enlightened him saying: "It just taught me a lot about people, religion, society, possibilities in society, success, and things like that. From there, I've just been very observant about a lot of the major political figures or religious figures that we have and I've been keeping a close eye to [them]. It may seem transparent, but ultimately it's very important to [draw your own conclusions]."[10]
In 2008, Stevens made a brief cameo appearance in the music video for his TDE-mate Jay Rock's commercial debut single, "All My Life (In the Ghetto)". Also in 2008, he began recording music for his debut mixtape, at the TDE Recording Studio: House of Pain. In December 2008, Stevens released his first music video, for a song from the mixtape, titled "A Day in the Life", through YouTube.[11] The mixtape, entitled Longterm, was released in January 2009. It was the first in a series, that Stevens claims will have four installments: "When I did the first Longterm I knew that there would be four of them. When I did the first one. So there will be four of them: Longterm 1, 2, 3, and 4. So right now we're at two. You'll have to wait for the next one. That's for the next Ab-Soul interview.".[12]
In 2009, he formed supergroup Black Hippy, with his frequent collaborators and TDE label-mates Schoolboy Q, Jay Rock and K-Dot (now known as Kendrick Lamar). Stevens released his second mixtape, and the sequel to his first, on June 28, 2010. The tape, titled Longterm 2: Lifestyles of the Broke and Almost Famous was highly acclaimed and featured Stevens singing on several songs.[13]
2011: Longterm Mentality[edit]
In February 2011, Ab-Soul revealed he was working on a project titled Longterm Mentality, and subsequently released "Hell Yeah", a track featuring Schoolboy Q.[14] On February 22, 2011 Stevens released another promotional recording taken from the album, "Moscato", a collaboration with another fellow Black Hippy, Kendrick Lamar.[15] In February 2011, Stevens also embarked on the "Road to Paid Dues" concert tour, after being enlisted by fellow American rapper Murs.[16]
On March 21, 2011 Stevens released the music video for a song titled "Nothin' New", in promotion for the album.[17] On March 25, he released "Gone Insane", the fourth track liberated that was taken from the album.[18] On March 30, a trailer for Longterm Mentality, was released via Top Dawg Entertainment.[19] On April 1, 2011 he released the music video for "Gone Insane", directed by Top Dawg in-house directors Fredo Tovar and Scott Fleishman.[20]
Stevens has stated the respective independent albums of his label-mates partly inspired material on Longterm Mentality: "I compare [the process behind] Longterm Mentality to the process with all of my joints. Kendrick's OD had came out and Q's Setbacks had came out. I had these bodies of work to go off of as references, as inspiration. I hear what Kendrick is talking about, I hear what Q is talking about, I heard what Jay Rock was talking about. So how am I going to piece this all together and add my own two cents, too? How do I continue the sound but have my individuality as an artist? It's the same challenge every single time."[21] Stevens released his first independent album, under Top Dawg Entertainment, exclusively through iTunes on April 5, 2011. The album subsequently peaked at #73 on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.[22] The album, although its title is Longterm Mentality, is not the third part of his Longterm series.[12]
2012: Control System[edit]
Soon after the release of Schoolboy Q's second independent album, Habits & Contradictions (2012), Stevens began promoting his second independent album, releasing a song titled "Black Lip Bastard", on January 17, 2012. The song was produced by TDE in-house producer Willie B.[23] On February 28, 2012, Ab-Soul, alongside Schoolboy Q, appeared on Sway Calloway's #SwayInTheMorning radio show, where Ab-Soul called "Black Lip Bastard": "pretty much one of the title tracks",[24] The first song that appears on the album, to be released was "Showin' Love", also produced by Willie B.[25]
On March 24, Schoolboy Q announced #TheGroovyTour; a month-long tour with Ab-Soul accompanying him the entire way. The tour began on April 20, at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, California.[26] On April 6, 2012, Ab-Soul liberated a song titled "Terrorist Threats". The song features frequent collaborator Jhené Aiko and fellow American rapper Danny Brown, who proclaimed on Twitter that "Black Hippy the new Beatles and I'm Harry Nilsson".[27] On April 17, 2012, Ab-Soul revealed the album's title to be Control System and unveiled the release date to be May 11, 2012. That same day, he also released a music video for "Pineal Gland", a song inspired by the psychedelic drug DMT and of course the pineal gland, a small endocrine gland in the vertebrate brain.[28][29] On April 24, 2012, Stevens released another song, "SOPA". The song, produced by Nez & Rio, references the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), a United States bill introduced by U.S. Representative Lamar S. Smith, that would have allowed the U.S. government to control the Internet.[30]
On May 1, 2012, Ab-Soul released another music video, for a new song titled "Empathy", the song features vocals from Stevens' late longtime girlfriend Alori Joh (December 16, 1986 - February 6, 2012), who had committed suicide earlier in February.[31] Joh's death had a huge impact on Stevens and the recording process of Control System.[32] On May 4, 2012, it was revealed "Black Lip Bastard" was remixed and would feature his Black Hippy cohorts, Rock, Lamar and Schoolboy Q.[33] On May 8, 2012, his collaboration with Lamar, titled "ILLuminate", was released. The day before the album's release Ab-Soul revealed the track listing and released snippets from the album. The album, as written on the back cover, is "Dedicated to the beautiful soul of Loriana Angel Johnson aka Alori Joh".[34]
Control System was released exclusively through iTunes on May 11, 2012, under Top Dawg Entertainment. The album sold approximately 5,300 units in an abbreviated week, debuting at number 83 on the Billboard 200 and appearing on several other Billboard charts as well.[35] The album sold an estimated 3,700 the next week.[36] During 2012, Stevens toured with the rest of Black Hippy and fellow American rapper Stalley, on BET's Music Matters Tour.[37]
In late 2012, Stevens was featured on Joe Budden's mixtape A Loose Quarter on the track "Cut From a Different Cloth". The song received praise as one of the best songs on the project. Budden has since announced that he and Ab-Soul have recorded many songs together which will be seeing the light of day in the near future. Budden went on to praise Ab-Soul as "one of the best things going in hip hop right now".[38]
2012–present: These Days… and other upcoming projects[edit]
In October 2012, American singer-songwriter and record producer JMSN, who previously produced "Nibiru" for Stevens earlier in August, for what his label called "TDE Fan Appreciation Week", announced he and Stevens would be releasing a collaborative project together.[39] The lead single for their collaborative album, which was set to be titled Unit 6, was officially released via iTunes on January 22, 2013.[40] The single, titled "You're Gone", features vocals from both artists, as well as production from JMSN.[41] On March 26, 2013, it was announced that Ab-Soul would be featured on XXL 's 2013 Freshman Class issue, alongside Schoolboy Q and other up-and-coming rappers.[42]
After a near four month hiatus, on August 6, 2013, Stevens released a new song produced by Willie B, titled "Christopher DRONEr", alluding to former LAPD police officer Christopher Dorner. Along with the song, he announced he was working on a new solo project.[43] The following day he would speak to XXL and say that he and JMSN had finished the Unit 6 album, however their management could not "see eye to eye", so the project was ultimately shelved for a possible later release, with Stevens saying: "As of right now it's sounding like prequel to my album." He went on to confirm that JMSN and Jhene Aiko, will appear on the upcoming solo project.[44] On October 17, 2013, Stevens stated that he was close to finalizing the project.[45] Then later that week, he confirmed that the project had been turned in for mixing and cleared up rumors that it was titled Black Lip Pastor.[46][47] With the release of the 56th Annual Grammy Awards nominations, it was revealed Stevens was nominated for Album of the Year for his participation on Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' debut album, The Heist.[48]
On January 2, 2014, Stevens revealed he had turned in two projects to his label Top Dawg, before the year 2013, was over: "I turned in 2 projects last year, yea I know what your thinking, let's see where this year takes me…" he tweeted.[49] On January 6, 2014, in an interview with Bootleg Kev, when speaking on the album Stevens stated: "Ali is mixing it right now," and that they were waiting on the perfect way to present the project, as a result of creative releases such as Nipsey Hussle's Crenshaw.[50] He also revealed the album is about progression and confirmed there would be appearances from his TDE label-mates, as well as production from hip hop producer Statik Selektah.[50] On April 11, 2014, Stevens announced he was also working on the third installment in the Longterm series.[51][52][53]
On May 5, 2014, Stevens took to Twitter to announce his third album would be titled These Days….[54] On May 30, 2014, Top Dawg management took to Twitter to reveal These Days..., is scheduled for a June 24 release date. That same day, TDE management also unveiled the cover art for the album and released a snippet of a music video for Stevens' song "Stigmata".[55][56] On June 21, 2014, Stevens released a music video for a song titled Closure", taken from These Days....[57] The album debuted at number 11 on the US Billboard 200 chart, with first-week sales of 21,812 copies in the United States and has received generally positive reviews from music critics.[58]
In an October 2014, in an interview with Montreality, Stevens revealed his first in-store retail project would be Longterm 3.[59]
Musical style[edit]
Ab-Soul cites fellow American rappers Twista, Canibus, Eminem, Nas, Lupe Fiasco, and Jay-Z as major influences, with Jay-Z being his biggest.[60] He stated: "There are many others, but those are the ones that come to mind at this time. Those artists are basically the template to my format as an MC. They all capture me with their music, whether it be the vibe, delivery, cadence, story, or just the lyrics in general."[60]

Dr. Hajbandeh believes in taking the time to treat the whole person and not rushing you into and out of the exam room. He is careful to explain test results, and discuss the pros and cons of treatment. His office will always call back on lab and radiology results, good or bad. (No more assuming that results are normal!) He works hard to prevent disease through screening as well as encouraging, coaching, and cheering on healthy lifestyles.
Dr. Hajbandeh's office features a convenient location with easy access to the Loop 101 and Loop 202, directly across the street from Chandler Regional Hospital. His new, modern office features an electronic medical records system. For patient convenience, there is an in-house Sonora Quest phlebotomist
and SimonMed Radiology is right next door. Dr. Hajbandeh's on-staff referral specialist helps expedite your visits to specialists. He leaves same-day appointment openings to accommodate life's emergencies or acute illnesses.
Dr. Hajbandeh grew up outside Chicago. He went to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign for his undergraduate degree and then went on to the Medical College of Ohio in Toledo. He completed his residency at Scottsdale Healthcare and has been Board Certified in Family Medicine since 2002.
In his free time, Dr. Hajbandeh enjoys spending time with his wife and newborn daughter. On the weekends he plays basketball and goes hiking in the mountains.
Dr Hajbandeh has been my Doctor for the last 6 years. I wouldn't want to have to go to anyone else. Dr H has undoubtedly earned my respect - and he also shows me respect in return. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
I was a new patient, seen today. Dr. Hajbandeh was so professional and personable. He took the time to ask questions about my past history as well as what was currently going on in my life. I did not feel rushed at all. He was genuine in his care and was thorough.
Very impessive and thorough
This was my first visit and I was very impressed. He is a good listener, and gave me a comprehensive examination. I am looking forward to returning.
I highly recommend Dr. Hajbandeh to anyone looking for a fantastic primary care physician. He is very kind and his bedside manner is excellent. I felt comfortable in his office, even though I was sick with the flu and it was my first visit. I will continue to go to this office because of the great experience I had here.
He took the time to address all my concerns, and I didn't feel rushed at all. I went home and raved about him to my family. I just found my new family care doctor :)
The doctor took his time with me and that was a very welcome change. I have been rushed and discounted so many times in the past that I almost didn't try to discuss everything I wanted to. Dr. Hajbandeh made me feel like I was actually important to him and that meant a lot.
I love love love Dr. Hajbandeh ! He took the time to figure out what I needed, he didnt just rush through our appointment . I am so thankful I came here
Dr. Hajbandeh was very thorough and didn't appear to be rushed in addressing the issue I was there for. Then he asked something to the effect of 'Is there anything that bothers you or that you'd like to have checked out?' This was a much different approach than that of the urgent care centers I've primarily used in the past.
Great first visit. On time appointment, friendly staff. Impressed and glad I found a good practice.
I was planning on only coming in to get some medical forms filled out, but after meeting with Dr. Hajbandeh I plan on making him my primary care physician. He is very knowledgeable, thorough, and seemed to really care about my issues.
Attentive, caring, detailed, honest, reassuring, personable, nice demeanor and sense of humor. Staff was highly skilled and detailed. Experience was team oriented.
Dr. Hajbandeh took his time and listened to me. He went over things very clearly. He was very detailed. He is an excellent doctor.
I loved it. I finally found my primary doctor
Very helpful and friendly. Very pleased with the experience.
I found a lump in my breast, he acted on it immediately, I am now getting the treatment that I need. Thank you for listening to my concerns.
I am not a fan of doctors/needles/etc. I expressed my health concerns to him, and his staff, and they all took the time to address the concerns and get me on a plan going forward. I appreciate there help, and support.
Dr. Hajbandeh was extremely friendly, professional, and informative. It was probably the best and most productive consultation I've had with a primary care doctor. Highly recommended.
A sense of calm He was very confident and comforting and he cares. I would definately recommend!
He was professional and pleasant to talk to.
As always, He is amazing thorough and very professional. He was teaching another med student and is also an excellent teacher too. :-)
Professional and courteous staff!
Very nice staff, thank you doctor Homan Hajbandeh for your support today.
Wonderful physician. Thorough, kind and knowledgable.
This was my second visit. Once again he made me feel very comfortable, answered all my questions and concerns and was very professional. I would definitely recommend him.
Very professional and an all around great Doctor. I think I'm going to make him my primary.
Homan Hajbandeh and the staff provided an exceptional experience. I will defiantly be returning for future appointments.
very professional. he gave me reasonable advice. i feel like i can trust him.
Very knowledgable however I didn't like how when I told him a symptom he immediately went to a medicine I can take. I want to know the causes so I can address the issue for good, not supress it. I hope going forward he can focus on real solutions not temporary fixes. Very kind, I am sure very smart! Great Staff!
I waited less than 5 min in waiting room and less than 5 min in exam room before being seen. This was my initial visit with Dr Hajbandeh and he was very professional, thorough and paid attention. Thank you.
Finally found a Doc I can "relate to". He's amazing! Need to help his office staff on my Insurance..... I'm very pro-active in my medical care, and he's very OK with that. My Sister is a DR in West Virginia, She's very "PRO-ACTIVE" on the patients part, and is very impressed with what he said! Seeing Dr. H next week for a "follow-up" and I'm sure he's now my new Doc!!
It was a great visit.
It was very good and he is a very nice doctor
Overall very satisfied with him. Reasonable wait time, professional and courteous staff. Always listen to my needs and perform any needed test. I also like the fact that he can send all my prescriptions to the pharmacy of my choice right from his laptop during exams.
My visit was excellent. He took the time to both listen and talk through different options with me. I appreciated his kindness!
I would recommend this Doctor to anyone! I will be sending my Husband to see him. I had an excellent Doctor in Illinois and was getting discouraged that I would not find one here. The first Doctor I did not like. Did not listen to me. This Doctor listened!! I will be getting the treatment and answers I need. Very Happy.
Very personable and thorough. Didn't rush, made excellent referrals and appears to do good follow up. Good efficient staff.
Very strong person..
It was great! Dr. H and his staff were pleasant, professional and showed genuine concern for my daughter. She was very comfortable with them. We have found our Primary Care Doctor.
He was awesome and cute lol and very nice
Nice everything went as it shoild had. I feel good about the aid and future med trement
Educated, communicates well
I found him to be professional and interested in what I thought was important to say, then he made me comfortable with his examination and recommendations. Great first impression.
Very nice & professional! I didn't feel rushed whatsoever. Highly recommended.
He was very nice and courteous, I moved into town 2 days ago and he was very welcoming and willing to listen and then talk.
Dr. H was incredibly friendly and helpful.
I was very satisfied with my first visit to Dr. Hajbandeh. I filled out the necessary paperwork and was seen soon after handing it in. I went through all the issues I had come to talk to the doctor about and he listened patiently and then responded in detail to all of them. He suggested doing a full check-up, a tetanus shot (I was due) and took blood. Even with all of this, my entire visit took less than an hour, including paperwork. I will be back to see Dr. Hajbandeh again in the future.
I was seen by Dr. Hajbandeh right away, and he was very kind and professional. He took time to listen and talk - didn't just rush in and out. My favorite thing is that I can see the same doctor every time I go which is important to me as I have been going to a different doctor's office for the past 4 years and never once met my primary care physician and saw someone new every time! This is frustrating b/c you never have a doctor that truly gets to know you, and I won't have to deal with that anymore now that I'm at Dr. Hajbandeh's office. Oh, the rest of the staff there were absolutely wonderful too - very friendly and happy!
Overall excellent, Smiling and welcoming front office and even accommodating when a little late. Dr. Hajbandeh always asks questions and take action on medical concerns to find out the root cause and treatment plan.
Very pleasant.
Very personable, good communicator.
Very professional and efficient. Very easy to talk to and listened to what I had to say.
My annual physical was very thorough and well executed.
very professional
he was very good at his job and very kind too.
He is very accommodating, makes me feel comfortable all throughout and happily answers all my questions. I am glad I found him, I highly recommend him.
Both Dr.Hajbandeh and his assistant were super nice and thorough. My son was nervous about having a physical, but Dr.H made him feel comfortable.
One will have a tough time finding a physician who is more attentive and thorough. He was very diligent in getting familiar with my history and asked probing questions to bring out things I may have forgotten. He's my regular doctor now.
Dr. H is very professional and caring. He made me feel like a person. I will go back to him. He will be my new PCP.
Thank you so much.....finally a Doctor that still takes some time to figure out why you are there!

I also didn't dip the rolls into boiling water and I made them simple round rolls. Turned out great!
I <3 anise
Four stars only because i was afraid to do the dipping in the hot water. They are so tender when they have risen and i was afraid i would deflate them. I baked them anyway and they were wonderful--just perfect sweetness. i could get fat on them!!!:)

The headline is attention-getting__"US Competitiveness Hinges on the Strength of Small Business Suppliers"__but the first paragraph speaks volumes more. In the May 6 edition of the Washington Post, Karen Mills, the administrator of the US Small Business Administration, writes, "Talk to the CEO of any major corporation about their global competitiveness and the conversation will almost always turn to their supply chains. They will tell you that a strong, nimble supply chain helps fuel innovation, creates efficiencies, and strengthens operations." Mills cites Caterpillar, GE, and Ford as companies that are moving some of their manufacturing back to the United States. The reasons are the same as those named by GE CEO Jeff Immelt in a 2012 Harvard Business Review article: "Engineering and manufacturing are hands-on and iterative, and our most innovative appliance design work is done in the United States. At a time when speed to market is everything, separating design and development from manufacturing didn't make sense." In her article, Mills talks about how investment in US small business is a result of high worker productivity, rising labor and energy costs, and logistical advantages of closer supplier networks. While this investment may bring some jobs back to the United States, it also helps firms better support global manufacturing. In fact, she writes, some foreign companies, such as Lenovo, Ikea, Nissan, Airbus, and Siemens, are investing in US operations and US suppliers. "Today, US-based, forward-thinking companies are looking at their supply chains very differently," Mills writes. "They are working together to co-innovate, they are helping supply the capital and skills their small suppliers need, and they are operating as partners." This trend, Mills proposes, actually helps US companies better contribute to the global marketplace. She, again, echoes sentiments originally expressed by Immelt. "This doesn't mean that we are simply reversing what we have done and retreating from performing R&D and manufacturing outside the US," Immelt wrote. "The fact is that we are__forevermore__going to play in a global economy, where competition is tougher, customers are more demanding, and the pace of change is faster. To win, we must play and we must improve everywhere we do business." Small, yet mighty In her article, Mills highlights the benefits small suppliers bring to the overall manufacturing landscape, key among them agility. From a supply chain professional employee perspective, we know most large corporation leaders consider these staff a competitive advantage. Now, as supply chain complexities increase along with the opportunities, small- and medium-sized business leaders also must consider investing in their supply chain teams. By contrast, the latest APICS Operations Management Employment Outlook shows that for the first time since the survey's inception, respondents expect hiring to go down.
Experts and political leaders alike recognize that supply chains fuel innovation, create efficiencies, and strengthen operations. In these uncertain economic times, those benefits aren't optional. Now is the time to invest in your company's supply chain by hiring APICS Certified Supply Chain Professionals (CSCPs) or supporting existing employees as they earn their APICS CSCP designations.

Yes, you can finally retire those greige shades because fall's go-to dark polish is Indigo! While nude colors are also setting trends for fall, Elle recommends switching it up, and trying this edgy shade of blue for evenings.
It has been spotted on the runways and advertisements of Cacherel, DKNY, and Zac Posen fall lines.
Since dark shades show wear and tear faster than a neutral tone, prep nails with a base coat. It gives the polish something to adhere to so it won't chip as quickly and also prevents the polish from staining the nail.
