The Best Coffee Shop in Every State
These days, a cell phone is no longer just a phone. They can be used to order groceries, play games, check email, and even be used as a pedometer. The same fluidity applies to the modern day coffee shop. No longer are they simply an oasis for students and internet-less nomads. Now, they're many people's home away from home with immaculately designed decor that communicates just that. And they don't just serve coffee and a token fancy drink or two—many of them have menus that span various cuisines and meals. Some hot spots are just as revered for their sandwiches and dessert offerings as they are for their pour overs and latte art.
With so many delectable coffee shops around the nation, it can be hard to uncover those that are truly special and unique. That's why we teamed up with our friends at Foursquare to bring you the top-rated java joint in each state. (To really give you the creme de la creme, we pushed aside chains like Starbucks and bookstore cafés.) Read on to find out if your favorite made the cut and to discover a few that are bound to become your new favorites! But before you get your buzz, find out the 25 Things That Happen to Your Body When You Drink Coffee!
The Red Cat, Birmingham
Unlike some other coffee joints where the food menu is more of an afterthought, the folks at The Red Cat make a genuine effort to serve great grub and addictively good java. Whether you're in search of a spot to snuggle up solo with a good read, a place to go head-to-head in a board game with a date, or an energizing eatery to brunch with friends, this place has got you covered.
Insider Tips
"Saturday morning and the line is out the door. Take your awesome lattè to the outdoor farmers market right outside the door. Über hipster scene." — Foursquare user Van Baird
"The Burmese Latte is my favorite. It is vanilla and coconut. Get the whipped cream and stir it in for extra sweetness." — Foursquare user Tammy Hart
"[Their] gouda grits are the best thing you'll put in your [mouth]. Oh, and the coffees are good too. My faves are the Mocha & Abyssinian (a blend of vanilla and cinnamon) [lattès]. — Foursquare user Mende Ritch
Snow City Cafe, Anchorage
Snow City Cafe's low prices, solid brunch menu, and free coffee refills earn it a 9.1 out of 10 on Foursquare. We love that their go-to milk alternatives are unsweetened, which is a rarity at popular cafes and chains. If you find yourself in the last frontier, warm up with a cup of Joe and get an order of the Kodiak Benedict, which is made with delicious king crab cakes.
Insider Tip
"Make a reservation or expect a long wait, especially on the weekend. If you are visiting Anchorage, make this stop a priority! Incredible selection and free drip coffee while you wait!" — Foursquare user Stacy Myers
The Coffee Shop at Agritopia, Gilbert
If you've always wanted to indulge in a Cupcake Wars-winning cupcake while sipping a delicious cuppa Joe in a lush rose garden, you'll find your happy place at The Coffee Shop at Agritopia. In addition to coffee shop standards, they also carry mouthwatering breakfast and lunch entrèes like waffles, omelets, egg-filled burritos, fish tacos, and sandwiches—many of which are vegan."
Insider Tips
"Nearby school tends to fill this place up with tweens and teens from 3:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. Might want to time your visit to avoid this rush." — Foursquare user John Lewis
"I really enjoy their breakfast menu. Most of what you will eat is grown in their gardens. Yum!" — Foursquare user Carol Husbands
Onyx Coffee Lab, Fayetteville
In addition to their impressive, rotating menu that includes gems like barrel aged cold brew, coffee-banana ice pops, and cocktail-inspired coffee beverages, this local shop hosts weekly cuppings (which is just barista-speak for coffee tastings) and brewing classes.
Insider Tips
"[The] Smoke & Oak was a nice treat on my birthday. First time I've had 'smoked' coffee outside a campfire." — Foursquare user Summer Backstrom
"Need a second wind? Try the Red Queen Espresso!!!" — Foursquare user Billy Johnson
Neighbor Bakehouse, San Francisco
This may be the highest rated coffee shop in all of Cali, but we're not so sure the coffee has anything to do with its popularity. Just one look at the bakery's Foursquare page and it's easy to see that people are flocking to the eatery for their croissants. Considering the average French pastry can easily run you 300 to 400 calories, we suggest that you cut yourself off after one and steer clear of the sweetened coffee beverages—especially anything similar to these 20 Coffee Drinks with More Sugar Than a Can of Coke.
Insider Tips
"This bakery has some of the best croissants in SF. Their hours are limited but they have a small, curated selection of treats well worth a visit." — Foursquare user Naomi Petrash
"Don't leave without the blackberry pistachio croissant." — Foursquare user Anthony Adams
Huckleberry Roasters, Denver
In addition to brewing beans from around the globe, Huckleberry serves their own blends—which makes sense. They did start off as a small a coffee roaster back in 2011. At the end of 2013, however, the owners opened their first retail location. And the rest, as they say, is history. Pop in for a delicious pour over or hang out for one of their monthly events. They host neighborhood bike rides and even unique events like paper printing workshops.
Insider Tips
"Great pour over. Large space. Good coffee. Nice, quiet morning spot for reading, relaxing, and hipster/puppy watching." — Foursquare user Jing Zhang
"Great coffee, but slow service. By far the slowest of all the craft coffee shops I've been to (e.g., Cream, Black Eyed, Little Owl). Only come here if you have time to spare." — Foursquare user Onyx Mueller
Lorca, Stamford
Leyla Jenkins, the owner of the Stamford hot spot, Lorca, learned the art of making churros in Spain, and they are one of the shop's most buzzed-about menu offerings at her artisanal coffee shop. Other menu offerings that make this artisanal coffee and dessert shop a hit with locals: The Cortado (a Spanish classic, similar to a macchiato or a cappuccino) and seasonal drink offerings like maple-cinnamon lattes and the London Fog Tea Latte (earl gray tea, lavender, and milk). They also have a killer lunch and breakfast menu, with artisanal sandwiches.

Brew Ha Ha, Newark
Oh. Em. Gee! Just look at those mouthwatering donuts. If those aren't enough to convince you that you need to get your tush to Brew Ha Ha, maybe these other tasty sounding delectables will. The Meadowood sandwich (stuffed with turkey, brie, granny smith apple, lettuce, tomato, and a fig spread) and The Branmar oriental noodle salad, which comes complete with turkey, sliced vegetables, and sesame-ginger dressing are both solid mealtime options. It's the shop's coffee shop that's earned it international fame, though. Actor Ryan Phillippe was recently spotted sipping down their iced coffee, later tweeting that it's his "favorite coffee spot in Delaware."

specialTEA Lounge & Cafe, Miami

Everything is deemed delicious by fans, who love the shop for its cozy, welcoming ambiance that's ripe with cushy couches and board games.
Insider Tips

Insider Tips

There, coffee lovers can sip on one of their expertly roasted creations or nibble on savory plates like Turkish Kebabs and artisanal pizza.

Since flavor is added to the brews through the beans—not by adding sugary syrups to the mix—all of their flavors, from snickerdoodle to blueberry cobbler and everything in between, will be diet-friendly.

Fireflour Pizza + Coffee Bar, Bismarck
While a combination coffee and pizza shop may seem far too odd to be good, in the case of Fireflour, it just works. They have an extensive tea, coffee, and espresso menu, as well as beer and wine. Enjoy the former with scones or a pastry in the morning, or enjoy the latter with one of the restaurant's 14 specialty pies. The Uptown pie—topped with provolone, goat cheese, roasted red peppers, tomatoes, zucchini, red onions, red pepper flakes, arugula, walnuts, and extra virgin olive oil—sounds out of this world!
Insider Tips

Elemental Coffee Roasters, Oklahoma City
Elemental roasts their beans daily in house, which is just one of the many reasons this hip, minimalist coffee sanctuary is a winner. They also have a wide variety of espresso-based drinks and locally baked pastries and healthy entrees, which makes it easy to set up shop with a laptop and stay put for the day.

"You cannot go wrong with a pour over, but if you want something different, order off the menu. Ask for a Cortado."— Foursquare user FUBelly
Coava Coffee Brew Bar, Portland
This minimalist-chic, spacious roaster shares space with a woodworking studio—it doesn't get any more unique than that. It's not just its magazine-worthy aesthetics that make Coava a winner, though. Their crispy almond croissant and espresso drinks are revered for their quality, complexity, and balance. Considering they travel the world in pursuit of the very best beans, we can't say we're surprised that their customers can taste the difference.

South Carolina
Black Tap Coffee, Charleston
If the inviting minimalist decor doesn't lure you into this Charlson gem, maybe all the chatter around the java and food will convince you that you need to get your tush through the door. It's not just pour-overs and frothy lattes here (while both are top notch); their menu spans into the creative and unusual with drinks like their famed lavender iced latte and Black Mint Julep, which is a blend of coffee and a virgin variety of the drink for which is it named. They even dole out free cucumber water and have an ongoing book exchange. Consider this a must-visit if you're in Charleston!

Evening performances go down on the regular—typically two or three times per week—and can be enjoyed while you scarf down on their sandwiches, salads, smoothies, or nacho platters.

The Coffee Shop, Riverton
If you're one to blow all of your discretionary calories or sugary coffee drinks, you should consider checking out this Utah hot spot. They have so many tasty-sounding creative lattes on their menu, it's hard to know where to start. There's the banana split, which is made with an actual banana (not that goopy, syrupy stuff), the Smilin' Hawaiian (macadamia nut, coconut, white chocolate) and the Almond Joy (almond, coconut, dark chocolate). Indulgent? Yes. Worth every calorie? Absolutely—just don't make it an everyday thing or your waistline will pay the price.
Insider Tips
"If you want a caffeine super high, ask for The Astronaut." — Foursquare user Sam Drici

Scout & Company, Burlington
Stop into Scout & Company in the winter for their world class espresso bar (froth courtesy of a local organic dairy farm) and swing through in the summer for their homemade hard ice creams, which they make right at the cafe. Their entrees range from healthy (chia seed porridge and grilled broccoli topped with Parmesan and pepita hummus) to indulgent (waffles and breakfast tacos), so there's something for everyone. Not to mention, the space itself is pretty rad. Nearly all of the walls are covered with floor to ceiling windows and the decor is best described as minimalist, cozy-chic.

Outsourcing in special effects
In 2004, Rueters reporting on the boom in outsourcing by Indian animation companies cited an analyst:
"Not many firms have gone beyond being a sweatshop," said Apurva Shah, an analyst at Prabhudas Lilladher. "I think it's tough for an Indian firm to be another Pixar." (read here)
Then the focus was more on animation than on special effects. A recent Times (London) report states that Western producers are turning to the subcontinent as a cost-effective and skilful source of special effects. Films that have outsourced special effects to India include 28 Weeks Later, Spiderman III, xXx: State of the Union. Though the general view of India is as a destination for low-end clean up jobs, which are labour intensive, the report has Prime Focus arguing that films such as 28 Weeks Later demonstrate that Indian special effects companies can deliver high-quality creative work (read report here).

Certified Organic Hard Red Winter Wheat Seeds
- USDA Certified Organic
- Whole Sprouting Wheat berries
- Excellent Germination Rate 98-100%
- Resealable Packaging or pre-measured bags for wheatgrass trays
- 7-10 days for wheatgrass
- 2-3 days for wheat berry sprouts
- Great for grinding into whole wheat flour
- Outstanding choice for food storage
- Microbial Tested
This wheat is the same wheat we use in our flagship wheatgrass growing kit. If you are looking for refills for growing wheatgrass, be sure to buy the 5 & 10 pre-measured bags. These pre-measured wheatgrass refills are our most popular product because everyone comes back for the incredible quality of seed that you can't find anywhere else.
All Wheat is Not Equal We have had the experience of growing wheatgrass and being in the commercial wheatgrass business over the last twenty years. We have experienced growing many different kinds of wheat from different areas: Texas, Utah, Idaho, Montana, California, and Israel-- both organic and non-organic. The wheat we use now is grown in eastern Washington and is undoubtedly the best wheat we have ever used. It has a spectacular germination rate and makes a beautiful and nutritious grass. Our wheat is USDA certified organic, which means the grower has not used herbicides in his field for over 3 years.
If a wheat is organic, it will have more of a variety of minerals than a non-organic wheat. If you grow with an organic compost the organisms in the soil will help the minerals absorb into the grass properly. Organic produce should also have the organism on it that produces cobalamin (B-12).
Customer Comment:
" Yay!! Yay!!!! I'm SOOOO GLAD my shipment will arrive tomorrow. I decided to try some Whole Foods organic winter wheat berries- you know, local, no shipping, on sale for 89 cents a pound.....oh, no. No, no, no, no. I used exactly the same amount of seed that I use of yours. I'd say there was about 1/3 less (at least) growth, it was sporadic- some short, some tall....and the mold....oh, the mold......the horror............... Sigh. Lesson learned. :-)
Thanks, and have a great weekend! Macha B. "

The 21st-ranked Chico State Wildcats men's basketball team notched two wins to ring in the new year setting up a couple of titanic tilts this week against two of the three teams they share first place with in the CCAA.
Chico disposed of Cal State Los Angeles on New Year's Eve with a 73-55 win. The Cats suffocating defense forced the Golden Eagles to run through their offense multiple times, while also getting back in transition preventing easy buckets for CSLA. Chico State had four players in double figures led by Corey Silverstrom's 18 points. An emphasis for the Wildcats was to keep the Golden Eagles off the boards, which Chico did out-boarding CSLA 40-26.
On Saturday the Wildcat men traveled to Carson to take on the Dominguez Hills Toros. Dominguez came into the game as the best 3-point shooting team in the league, knocking down 42 percent of their perimeter tries. While the Toros shot 42 percent from downtown in the game, Chico held the hosts to 14-of-44 shooting from two point range, holding Dominguez Hills to 34 percent shooting for the game. Chico won the game 78-64 withTanner Giddings having the best game of his Chico State career. The senior dominated the paint scoring a career high 20 points grabbing 12 boards and blocking 4 shots.
Chico State will rest for a couple of days before making the difficult trek to Arcata to take on long-time rival Humboldt State on Thursday before heading down to Pomona on Saturday. This week marks the most difficult and maybe the most important week of the regular season.
Chico State, Humboldt State, Cal Poly Pomona and UC San Diego are in a four-way tie for first place in the CCAA with records of 5-1. Not only will the games be difficult but the travel from Arcata to Pomona is the toughest of the conference season.
In Humboldt the Wildcats must muzzle an electric offense that is averaging nearly 90 points a game. The Lumberjacks are rolling despite, what appeared to be a crippling injury to returning power forward Calvin Young II who tore his ACL weeks before the season started. Five players average double figures for the Jacks, led by senior Rocky Brown who is scoring 20 points and grabbing 9 boards a game. Returning freshman of the year Malik Morgan is having another great year averaging 12 points and 5 assists a game all while shooting 51 percent. While Humboldt is giving up 75 points a game it is a mere footnote when you consider the potency of their offense. The Wildcats defense will be tested in one of best environments in the CCAA.
The Cal Poly Pomona Broncos tasted defeat for the first time this year on Saturday night as the UC San Diego Tritons tripped them up on Saturday in La Jolla. The Broncos had won 12 straight fell at Rimac Arena.
Senior Jordan Faison may be the best player in the league. He has been one of the most consistent performers in the CCAA since he donned Bronco colors. He is averaging 18 points, 7 rebounds all while shooting 62 percent from the field. Faison also patrols the middle in that stingy match-up zone, a staple of Head Coach Greg Kamansky's club.
Pomona has never been flashy, but they have always been good. The buy-in from their group is a reason why they have won multiple West Region titles, are a perennial NCAA Tournament team and have won a National Title. More than any other team in the CCAA the Broncos take advantage of opponents' mistakes. They will rarely beat themselves and they feast on team's impatience on the offensive end. You take a bad shot, you will pay. This year's Broncos scored 75 points a game while giving up only 60 points a contest. Considering the reduced shot clock and the faster pace to games, giving up 60 points a game is a tremendous feat.
Chico plays Pomona on Saturday night in a battle between the two teams that have been the most consistent winners in the CCAA over the last four years.
On both Thursday and Saturday the Chico State men will air at 7:15pm on Newstalk 1290 KPAY, also right here on KPAYSports.com and ChicoWildcats.com

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The biggest loser in the Green Bay Packers' general manager search might have been Eliot Wolf.
The 35-year-old son of Hall of Fame GM Ron Wolf lost out to Brian Gutekunst, who was hired Sunday to succeed Ted Thompson.
"At least he had the opportunity to interview for it," Ron Wolf told ESPN on Sunday night in a phone interview from his home in Florida. "Obviously the people up there don't think he's worthy or they would've hired him. End of discussion."
It leaves the younger Wolf's future with the organization in question.
Wolf would have plenty of suitors if the Packers allow him to leave, but he would have to get permission from the team because he's still under contract. He could not leave for any job other than general manager.
Last week, the Packers let another high-ranking scout, Alonzo Highsmith, out of his contract to join the Cleveland Browns' scouting department. A source told ESPN that Browns GM John Dorsey, a former Packers personnel executive, planned to go after Wolf.
The elder Wolf ran the Packers' personnel department from 1991 to 2001 and is beloved in the NFL's smallest city for turning around a struggling franchise. Eliot grew up in Green Bay and followed his father into the business. He began writing reports on players at age 14.
He has been with the Packers since 2004, when he joined the team as a pro personnel assistant under then coach/GM Mike Sherman. Since then, Wolf has been promoted five times under Thompson and has served in his current role as director of football operations since 2016.

There are lots of times when being culturally a Brit makes me go a bit humm – The Sun's Page 3 scam (showing a breathtaking contempt for women), Mrs Brown's Boys (He seems really nice, I have tried really hard – it doesn't make me laugh. Don't hate me ) and most of the content on Channel 5. Then something comes along and it makes me want to stand up and sing God Save The Queen. (Which I don't mind – I think it's a tune and I am very keen on our Queenie. Prefer Jerusalem if I am pushed though) This is a long drawn out way of saying that Wolf Hall is mercifully very good.
I LOVED the books. I was a little bit "really – are you sure?" about a screen adaptation and the TV programme is certainly different from the book – it jumps around the timelines like crazy. I am not sure you get the depths of Cromwell quite the same way here but maybe a book is better for that. I read a post by an author saying more or less how sick she was of the Tudors – Tudor This, Henry VIII that and of course she is completely right. Trouble is, this is just a super-duper watch. It rattles along.
All the women are too pretty. Anne Boleyn, who I understood got by on her French sophistication is just lovely and the so-called mousy Jane Seymour can stop traffic with her looks but there you are. Henry VIII is – well you can see how he is but I read this week that he was quite hot as a young man so all well there then. Just loved the clever little two minutes with the Mark Smeaton character who is nothing now but will be so significant later. It is also my first time seeing Mark Rylance. I only know him as an actor who plays long weird roles that seem to make other actors sob that they are not worthy but you see him here and you get an idea what all the fuss is about. Course, later on there will be a lot of shouting and sawing of necks etc but I will deal with that as it comes.

RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. -- Pernilla Lindberg plunged into Poppie's Pond with her parents and fiance-caddie Daniel Taylor, celebrating her first professional victory in about the biggest way possible in women's golf.
"I can't believe that I can call myself a major champion," Lindberg said.
It wasn't easy.
The 31-year-old Swede needed a major-record eight sudden-death holes over two days to finish off Inbee Park in the ANA Inspiration, ending it Monday morning with a 30-foot birdie putt on the par-4 10th.
"I just know I'm a grinder, and I just felt: 'This is mine. I'm going to do this,"' Lindberg said. "I just knew I could, and I just kept fighting away. I couldn't believe when that last putt went in."
Park's 20-footer to match stopped on the edge of the cup.
"The putt Pernilla made on the last was a champion's putt," Park said. "I'm really happy for her. This one was not an easy major win for her, as well. I mean, eight-hole playoff, I've never done something like that before, either."
They played four holes Monday after going until it was too dark to see -- and then played some more -- Sunday night.
Lindberg won in her 250th start on the LPGA, Ladies European and Symetra tours, sharing the moment with father Jan and mother Gunilla. They introduced her to golf at Bollnas Golf Club about 150 miles north of Stockholm.
"It's so cool," Lindberg said. "The only reason I'm playing golf is because of them.
On Sunday, Jennifer Song dropped out with a par on the third playoff hole, and Park and Lindberg decided to take one more trip down the par-5 18th in fading light. With portable lights and the scoreboard helping illuminate the green, Park holed a 6-footer for par and Lindberg made a short putt to match. They finished at 7:21 p.m., 15 minutes after sunset.
Play resumed at 8 a.m. on No. 10, with Lindbergh leaving a birdie putt an inch short from a little lower on the green than her winner later on the hole. They made up-and-down pars on the par-3 17th, with Park holing a tricky 8-foot downhill putt and Lindberg staying alive from a foot closer.
Lindberg then reached the 18th in two -- the first time one of them went for it in the six times they played the par 5 in the playoff and regulation -- but was on the far left side and was only able to get her eagle putt within 7 feet. Park laid up and hit a wedge to 8 feet. They both missed.
Lindberg is the fourth player to lead wire-to-wire in the event and first since Pat Hurst in 1998, and the fifth to win the tournament for her first LPGA Tour victory. She's the sixth Swedish female major champion, joining Liselotte Neumann, Helen Alfredsson, Annika Sorenstam, Anna Nordqvist and Jenny Lidback (born in Peru to Swedish parents) -- and all of them also won their first LPGA Tour title in a major.
"I remember writing some goals probably right when I got to high school," Lindberg said. "Writing about the dream scenario, and it would be to obviously win a major championship and leave a mark in history. But at the same time it felt like too big of a dream to come true, but it has."
She jumped from 95th to 34th in the world ranking.

The Dallas Stars squeaked into the playoffs, edging out the
Arizona Coyotes by two points for the final Wild Card spot. In the playoffs,
they were bounced in the Western Conference Quarterfinals in six games by the
heavier, deeper Anaheim Ducks. Their lack of depth was exposed by the Ducks,
but the Stars made one of the biggest moves of the offseason, acquiring Jason Spezza from the Ottawa Senators.
Additions: Subtractions:
Jason Spezza – C
Alex Chiasson – RW
Ales Hemsky – RW Ray
Whitney – LW
Anders Lindback – G Chris
Mueller – C
Patrick Eaves – RW Tim
Thomas – G
Rome – D
The Stars sent Alex Chiasson, a second-round pick and two
prospects to the Senators for Spezza and a prospect. Spezza goes from being the
go-to-guy in Ottawa, to the second line centre in Dallas. The reduced pressure
should help Spezza and makes the Stars a much more dangerous offensive team.
Dallas also brought Ales Hemsky to town via free agency. After being traded
last season, Hemsky, 30, posted four goals and 13 assists (17 points) in 20
games on a line with Spezza.
The two former Sens join an already potent offence–the Stars
finished 10th in the NHL with 2.82 goals per game. They are led by their
captain Jamie Benn and his linemate Tyler Seguin. In his first season with the
Stars, the 22-year-old Seguin finished fourth in the league in points (84),
fifth in goals (37), seventh in game-winning goals (8) tied for eighth in
power-play goals (11) and 11th in assists (47)… Not a bad first season eh? Benn
was equally as good posting 34 goals and 45 assists–his 79 points were tied
with Alex Ovechkin and Joe Pavelski for eighth in the NHL.
The second tier of talent in Texas sees a number of young,
up-and-coming players. 19-year-old Valeri Nichushkin had an up-and-down rookie
season, but the kid is an absolute beast with loads of potential. Cody Eakin,
who played as their second line centre, will slide to the third line with the
addition of Spezza, but he set career highs in goals (16), assists (19) and
subsequently points (35).
Defensively, the Stars top-option is Alex Goligoski. After
an underwhelming first year and a half in Dallas, Goligoski has found the game
he showed in his four years in Pittsburgh. He was 21st among NHL defensemen
with 42 points last season. Trevor Daley has grown into a very capable
defenseman as well. He had one of his best NHL season in 2013-14, despite
missing 15 games with a high-ankle sprain. And at 40-years-old, Sergei Gonchar
saw his production slip dramatically last year, but he should remain a staple
on the Stars power-play this season.
Between the pipes, Kari Lehtonen will be the starter and he
will have Anders Lindback as his back-up this season. Over the last four
seasons, Lehtonen has started 81.2 per cent of the Stars regular season games,
posting a 2.47 GAA and .918 SV% over that span.
Season prediction: The Stars finish third in the Central Division
and make the playoffs for the second straight season with Lindy Ruff behind the

Bring back Global Tweaks ++ on Discord
0 have signed. Let's get to 1,000!
Today I am writing up a petition for the unfair removal by Discord of the Global Tweaks ++ server (home of Pokego++).
Throughout the years, the Pokego++ team has worked tirelessly and efficiently in providing a top of the line service that no other has provided. Not on iOS and not even on Android. And yet, for a hiccup along the way, they have been cast aside.
After bots and scanners were down for several weeks and several accounts were hit with a red warning and shadowban, none of which could be foreseen, this team has worked extremely hard to release a safe version of their tweak so that everyone could safely play during the Community Day event. And yes, after more than 200 hours of testing, the version was safe. However, a security change made server side caused many accounts to be locked until further notice.
I get it. You're frustrated and upset and you lost something that was precious to you. I have as well. But who is really to blame in all of this? Have you ever thought about that?
I am truly ashamed that we have users among us who will fluently use their service for several months on end and then with one small problem that was not even in anyone's hands, the users became ungrateful and toxic - throwing rocks at the very team who made it possible for us to play and enjoy a game that we love in the way we want to play it. I am not even part of the ++ team and yet I am offended and incredibly sad. This cannot be the way that we repay months and months of hard work that had little to no compensation at all to the ones who put in their all to make it work. I am horrified that a small group of individuals can be so disrespectful that they manage to take down a server that took months to build. They have lost almost everything. They lost their members, they lost their information, they lost their server format, and they lost the many many heartful conversations that everyone has put in. Most of which is vital for them to continue and move on from this bump in the road.
They did not deserve what they got, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks so. Let's make this change so that we can try to bring them back to their full potential. Let's show Discord just how much we love Global Tweaks ++ and how much we want them back. Let's sign this petition and show them how grateful we are for everything they have done.

Fred's Face Part 1
Hello everyone. I will start today with a story that at first is not related to infertility, but in the end will provide a discussion that will be relevant. Here we go.
Well here you see it, the spoils of a surfing accident that in 2007 changed my face just a bit just forever.
I really had to force the smile here because I was in pain and sleepless. Surfing accidents are usually quite embarrassing. They are frequently caused by human error.
This could mean 2 crashing into each other, in which case one party was in the wrong, but even here the person in the right may have avoided injury if he was paying more attention to his surroundings. In most other cases, the surfer gets into trouble for not properly thinking about the task at hand ie. trying to catch too big a wave. Commonly, it's just a matter of improperly judging the break of the wave or improperly timing the standup and turn. Sometimes poor judgment relating to local conditions ie. reefs, shallow bottoms, currents etc., can get surfers into big trouble.
The point is surfing accidents are never glamorous.
It's not like saying "I broke my arm running with the bulls". Skiing accidents are more suitable for putting the blame on something other than stupidity. "There was this huge patch of ice", "they did not groom well" and "my binding never released" are common statements lifting the blame for injury away from the operator.
When you get hurt surfing, you usually know what you did wrong, and it's not a good feeling.My main problem was inexperience.
I grew up spending a fair amount of time in the ocean and frequently body surfed and boogie boarded, so I was at least familiar with wave shapes, currents and tides. But I did not start surfing till much later and without lessons I was just out there waiting for trouble. Learners tend to start on larger boards, and mine is a monster.
9 feet 6 inches of very thick glass, making it one of the heavier boards in its class, quite a torpedo. Perfect for learning and for getting up on small waves, but dangerous under the wrong circumstances.
So this is where the non-glamour comes in.
I wasn't even trying to catch a wave.
I paddled out on a rough day with wave that were closing out, meaning that the wave instead of starting to break on one side, the wave just broke all at once, not leaving any place to catch and ride. After a while I recognized this and realized I should head in: good thinking. What I did not appreciate is that you need really watch the waves as you come in, because if you get caught at the wrong spot, a large heavy wave can crash right on top of you sending you and your board, separately of course, into the underwater equivalent of outer space.
You go down and around and around and around.
So that's what happened to me.
Knowing my board was not far from me, I covered my face with my hands (I have since learned arms are better) and I waited for the rough water to calm. Just as moved my hands away, while still well underwater, the nose of the board rammed into the side of my face, hard.Why am I telling you this? Because I want to tell you of my experience with the doctors I ran into in seeking treatment. My interactions were probably very similar to yours, especially when faced with the prospect of surgery. And believe me; I was very surprised by what I found.
All to come in the next blog.

Residents in Baltimore, Maryland are unhappy with the raging murder rate that has increased over the last three years. Residents experience so much more murder and that's all thanks to Black Lives Matter (BLM) activists complaining for years about how there was too much police and wanted to see less police in some neighborhoods. The often violent or disruptive social justice warriors protested, demanded less police, and now they know life without a strong police force to serve and protect the hard-working citizens. The crime has increased and murder is rising. BLM wanted less police in the neighborhoods and they got it. Now they're faced with more people losing their lives and the murder rate continues to climb in Baltimore.
BLM activists can't have it both ways. They wanted less police and they got it, but now they've got more bodies on the pavement and residents aren't happy. Three years in a row there has been an increase in Baltimore murder rates, so now what? Now they'll have to welcome the police back into their neighborhoods and remember that most police are there to do a good job. There might be a bad officer once in a while, but every job has that one person that no one can stand. Every job from sports, office jobs, food industry, fire departments, schools, and any job you can think of. There's almost no way to guarantee that every job has a perfect staff. We have high expectations for our police and most officers go above and beyond the call of duty.
Breitbart reports:
"Baltimore has now experienced higher murder rates for three years in a row after riots and BLM-sponsored protests began rocking the city after the death of Freddie Gray, a suspect who died in police custody in the spring of 2015, National Public Radio (NPR) reported.
Since the riots, police morale has collapsed, and city officials began planning a lighter police footprint in response to complaints of residents and protest leaders.
But now, black leaders are blaming cops for the spiraling murder rate, saying that the police pullback has put them in danger."
If the murder rate spirals out of control, then who is really to blame for that? It's not the fault of the police. It's the fault of the people. Bad people do bad things, and America has laws to help enforce punishment for people who do bad things. We have police to help maintain order. We have laws to give people a set of rules to abide by. Most people don't need to be told the rules because they're moral human beings who act with a sense of decency, but not everyone is like that.
When Black Lives Matter wants less police, then gets less police and more murder, then whose fault is it?
Black Lives Matter keeps talking about stopping police brutality, but they need to talk about not breaking the law and killing each other.
Keep America Great Or Make It Creepy Like Joe?

Thanks to a special promotion for Netball Australia's registered Netball Schools and Schools Ambassadors in SA, 800 individuals attended the match, seeing the Diamonds take a 2-0 advantage in the Series.
The Netball Schools Ambassador Program has been designed to ensure that netball has a continuous presence at schools and ultimately becomes the sport of choice for many students.
Netball SA's School and Engagement Manager Rachel Heywood said, "The Netball Schools Ambassador program is a great opportunity to identify advocates of netball within the school environment, providing a strong link between state sporting organisations and local schools.
"The program provides teachers the opportunity to not only be kept up to date with netball opportunities for their students, but provides a great personal development opportunity through the use of the free Netball Schools resources."
Heywood continued, that the opportunity to attend last night's match is an example of the benefits available to those promoting netball through schools. "The recent Quad Series Match ticket offer open to all South Australia Netball Schools Ambassadors was a great demonstration of how being involved in this program can provide exciting opportunities for the wider school community, whereby 800+ school children and their parents were able to witness their netball idols in action last night!"
Netball Australia's Schools Engagement Manager, Trevor Robertson echoed Heywood's sentiments, "becoming a Netball Schools Ambassador benefits the individual and their school with opportunities to engage in netball in many different ways.
"The Netball Schools Ambassador is our conduit into their school community, with one of their roles being to notify and share the Teacher Curriculum Resources; from time to time opportunities to attend netball games in their state do arise, and we are excited for those in SA who attended last night's match."

Hey everyone, new member here
I am 25 years old, currently in Vancouver Canada. I am a former youth in government care, was homeless for 9 years
across Canada, and I am a torture and suicide survivor. I tried to move to Israel last year but was denied entry for no reason and was
held in a detention camp and physically tortured for 4 days before being sent back to Geneve (I went through Manchester and Geneva to get to Tel Aviv, total cost for Vancouver Canada to Tel Aviv was $565), where I had the time of my life and felt so at home that I didn't want to leave. My primary goal is to pay off debts, get out of poverty forever, and leave for Europe for a while, backpacking, working on organic farms, lots of partying around the continent, and meeting new people and building community for myself which I've never had here in Canada. I have no criminal record, and to this day have used no illicit drugs, no alcohol, no nicotine, no marijuana and not a single cup of coffee in my entire life, save a glass of champagne on NYE when I was living with my biological family.
When I was homeless here in Canada, I saw children commit suicide, I attempted suicide many times and survived, and I slept on the streets and in shelters across Canada. A lot of people in this country don't care about poverty and homelessness, they only care about the financials, "the economy", which is why most of them voted in the last federal election for the Conservatives, who recently removed offical oversight of the dometic spy agency CSIS (Canadian Security and Intelligence Service), as well as flat out abandoned the poor and dispossesed and are leaving them to their own devices. I know the health care system very well, as well as child and adult welfare, shelters and social services across the country, and have met a lot of police officers, paramedics and social service workers over the years, both in Canada and in Switzerland.
So after years of poverty and destitution, no community, no supports and no life, last year I attempted to
immigrate to Israel (I am Jewish). When I was in Geneva/Geneve, I gotta tell you, within days I felt like I was one of the locals,
I very quickly became familiar with the social customs and way of being, I never felt so at home somewhere.
I was without any money, and therefore (as well as not knowing French and not being able to find work) I asked
the Canadian government to get me back to Canada, and so I was repatriated on June 4th of last year. The
amount of money the federal govt spent on it is a debt of $2050 (airfare + financial assistance to live in Geneve until
repatriation) that I have to pay back, and they are holding my passport until I pay it back. The good news was that
until June 4th of this year, as the feds bought roundtrip tickets, the return portion was good until June 4th and
wound've cost only the change fee of 200 Swiss Francs (about $223CDN), if I could pay off the debt.
When I got back, I was homeless on arrival and went through massive, massive re-entry shock. Almost everyone didn't
care that I was tortured and lucky to be alive, and so I got no help and no supports, had to go through shelters, got
beaten and assaulted quite often, and only recently got into subsidized social housing (rent @ $375/month) here in
Vancouver. Not only do people here not care about victims of rape and torture, but I got spat on, assaulted and beaten
oftentimes just being on the bus and walking on the streets in cities across Canada, from Winnepeg to Vancouver.
I wasn't able to find a way to pay off the debt by June 4th of this year, but cheap tickets are available to get
to Europe (canadianaffair.ca + low budget airlines in Europe, which is what I did last year).
The response from my biological family to me being tortures was "we don't care, you are causing us stress so screw
you." That has been the typical response that I've gotten in Canada, all a buch of dead people, so screw them,
let them die, I want out, to look after myself and get out of here forever!
So first off, I have done the impossible and survived thigns most people can't survive, seen things most people
haven't seen, and I'm telling you, the only obstacles to success in life are the obstacles in your mind, your
belief systems, period. There are no excuses, no excuses whatsoever to not getting things together and getting out of here ASAP
If you have any questions, let me know. Looking forward to contributing and learning from other people here .

Welcome to the forum sfexcellence. That was an interesting story you posted. Why did Israel deny you entry into the country, especially since you're Jewish? I thought any Jew would be welcomed to the country. And sorry to hear about your homeless experience in Canada. On the bright side, at least you weren't homeless in the U.S., which is even worse in treating the poor and homeless than Canada. Look forward to your future posts on HA.
Nice to meet you! I hope you feel welcomed here. Beat of luck with figuring out your situation.

zboy1: Thank you. There was no reason given, the Israelis just denied me entry. It could've been that I had no money and no return ticket, though. I am not pro-Israeli anymore, the country has a LOT of problems and it needs to fix them fast.
zacb: Thank you, I am working on plans to get back to Switzerland by late June of next year at the latest, just in time for the Montreux Jazz Festival.
Do you know anything about the cost of living there? Or just the general living conditions? The only problem I have heard about Switzerland is the entrance requirements to become a citizen are huge. I think you have to have 75,000 a year in income to live there. But it probably would be worth it.
And as a side note, I have a thought for you. I don't know what your access to a computer is, but if you could get online enough, maybe you could start an online business. I don't know how feasible that is, but I know for myself that is what I am doing to try and get overseas. I would post a link up here, but that would be crossing the line, but if you can find Rich Jerk on a P2P site, I would suggest getting that. And you might want to get the Google Sniper 2.0 if you could find it. I hope you can find gainful employment either way.

This past Tuesday, a bevy of bedazzled patrons of Toronto's art scene coalesced at the Four Seasons Centre of Performing Arts.
Decked out in sequinned gowns, oversized sunglasses and bellbottom suits evoking 70's era fashion, over 1800 attendees came out to celebrate The National Ballet's annual fundraising Gala, MAD HOT BALLET.
This year's discotheque theme was inspired by the free spirit of the 1970s and was present in many small details through-out the evening. Not only were attendees dressed to the nines in bohemian black-tie affair, but the disco theme was elegantly woven into the dance performances and event decor.
The glittering evening began with an hour long performance to a live orchestra led by Music Director and Principal Conductor David Briskin. The performance included a world premiere of Joshua Beamish's Lollapalooza, performed by Principal Dancers Harrison James and Jillian Vanstone. The pair wore costumes by Canadian fashion designer Jason Wu. Attendees were also treated to Justin Peck's Paz de la Jolla, which will be performed as part of the National Ballet's Summer Mixed Programme June 16 – 22 with James Kudelka's The Man in Black and Alexander Ekman's Cacti.
Following performances, a reception took place during which Toronto socialites mixed and mingled with star dancers from the National Ballet. After the reception (which included an Aperol spritz bar and a MAC Glitter Bar) 650 VIP guests were led back into the theatre to enjoy a private dinner onstage catered by Canadian celebrity chef Mark McEwan's North 44 Caters followed by a night of disco dancing with the National Ballet dancers.
Since its inception in 2011, the Gala has raised over $11.8 million in support of the artists and activities of the National Ballet.The Gala raised over 1.3 million for the National Ballet, funds that will help produce more world-class shows, foster creativity amongst Canada's talented dancers, as well as grow audiences at home and abroad. Below are some of our favourite outfits from the evening.

Why People Don't Live Life Before Leaving Earth
Being a lover of arts and creativity, I am a great fun of plays. I prefer plays to dramas (movies) in a lot of ways because unlike drama (movies), you (the actor) are made to deliver on your feet to a live audience. For this reason, there is very little room for errors as everything to be performed is carefully put together in such a way that an error or break in communication from one character or actor can ruin the whole play.
Therefore, for a play to be very successful, there is a need for a very committed people to rehearse and rehearse and rehearse consistently over time to the point that they can pre-play the play in their mind while on stage. Thus. Every error to be made should be made and corrected in the rehearsal stage before the play proper.
In other forms of creative arts like dramas (or movies), there is a rehearsal period too. However, the period is not as consistent and intense as that of a play. I even heard some talented and experienced actors don't rehearse in the first place. All they do is to go through their scripts, prepare and deliver. After all, they could almost always freeze, pause, cut and take several shots should there be an error somewhere. A good editor or post production team can edit and put things together in such a way that can convince the viewer that things were as real as they were shot and never rehearsed or edited.
However, whereas there is a practice period and a real action period in the entertainment world, things are very different in the real world. In the real world, you (as an actor) have just the "real action" period with no practical "rehearsal" period.
Yet I find it so strange to see how people live their lives as if it were some "rehearsal" for some life to come in the future! In other words, it saddens my heart when I see a lot of young people from all walks of life living their lives in a way that makes me ask myself if they are really living life.
As complicated and sarcastic as it seems, this is often the case in reality. Growing up, people have always been promised of what will happen next so much that they forget the next starts from now. For instance, parents put off having quality time with their kids for spending hours and hours in the office probably on a job they hate. Kids, likewise, put off playing and experimenting with things for a caution from their parents who probably have concerns and destinies different from that of their kids. Some people I know intentionally (or unintentionally) put off investing in their health and happiness now for some time in the future when they acquire enough.
You may be thinking, "But tomorrow will always come!" Yeah, maybe! But there is no guarantee that you will show up tomorrow. There are lots of people who were with us yesterday but are not here today. Likewise, there are opportunities existing today that were not present yesterday and there are opportunities here today that may not be available for us tomorrow.
So, if you are not assured of tomorrow, why live your life as if you will live forever? Why put important things on hold today to be done in a future you are not guaranteed of? Someone once said humans are the most interesting creatures on earth: we put our life and health on hold to chase after money for the most precious part of our lives until we lose the sense of our lives, then we spend all the money we've gathered in the past trying to get our lives back.
This is really crazy if you ask me. Why on earth will a human being created in the likeness of the creator live their lives in such a manner? But that is all that happens in most cases. Artists and designers who love to draw and design are compelled to put their love for arts on hold and pursue a degree in law with hopes that someday, they might return to their "first love" in the future as if they were assured of what will happen tomorrow.
Finally, let me ask you this; will you do what you are about to do now if today was your last day on earth? If yes, then congratulation! You are living life. If no, then sorry to tell you that you are really not living life that much. So for the next moments through to the rest of your life, I would like you to live your life as if it was your last on earth and if there is any good you need to do, you ought to do it NOW because, unlike a play, you may not have many opportunities to restart life. Moreover, you only have one chance to make a first impression so make an impression in this life today that you live because there may not be a second life on earth for you after this..

this is my first animation tutorial that i followed from Youtube..its a very simple effect of just my name exploding (AshSpry)… this was tutorial was relatively easy to follow also to taught me how to set time frames in blender and now i have to got a little more experience knowing my way around blender.. because i have also been following tutorial from the site Guru.com and i am now working on an animating wreaking ball.. where i have made my own chain and wrecking swing across the screen and hitting into a pile of boxes.. but it it taking me a while because it is a lot more complex thing than the animation for this exploding letters.
Month: March 2014
Blender Mug
this is my first independent project in blend on which i followed from a tutorial on YouTube.. While creating this i have found the experience very useful as i got use to the interface and the most tools that were covered in the workshop and some that i missed out on. .. Also this helped my in the workshop as i tend to get a bit behind.
Here i also went out and did some research on fronts. I have found out that fonts are the most important part for any designing or especially for business, A good typeface creates an emotional response in relation to the message it is sending out. You're trying to get that tone of voice right – you can shout or whisper. And you want to sum up the spirit of the age, because they do date quite quickly.
Gravity Typography video
Here it is
My very first typography video that i have created in after effect using font, colours, time laps and the short sound track from the movie gravity..
this was my very first time building typography in after effects and learning new tools in after effects. at the beginning of the clip i have got one second of t.v static i have decided to put this in because, at the beginning of the clip i hear a radio static and i think it was a good idea to incorporate the visual of a t.v static i think worked good with the video clip as it catches the viewers attention straight away. i have also added a camera shake to all the text, so each text that floats in gets will be in motion of the camera.
Kinetic Typography.. (Research pulp fiction)
So a new project have been set and it's to animating a short typography video.. with a twenty seconds clip from the movie gravity.. since this project have begin i have been researching typography videos from YouTube, the kinetic site and creative blog http://www.creativebloq.com/typography/examples-kinetic-typography-11121304 these two site have giving me a very clear understanding on which directions i need to take in-order to get the best from creating my very own typography video.. on this research i have found large amount of typography videos that has been taken from well known movies for examples pulp fiction and Reservoir Dogs.. i have decided to work along side these two typography video because they have a very strong approach in the terms of sounds effects, not only they were clear but also had a pitch of hight and low.. so while i was listening to the sounds i can easily visual the each word that i can hear. also the research clips contain a lot of background effects which were interpret with the text for example shakes and tumbled and also heavy sound effects.
Here i have a collection of the images that was photograph in my search for natural forms in the alphabet project..

New Delhi: In a major development of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmaavat, whose earlier name as 'Padmavati', the Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected plea of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh government against release of film in the two states.
States must obey orders to screen "Padmaavat", the Supreme Court said today.
Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan on Monday moved the apex court seeking it modify its earlier order lifting the ban on the screening of the film.
Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, along with Gujarat and Haryana, had banned the film amid fierce protests by Rajput groups.
Last week, on a petition by Padmaavat's producers, the Supreme Court ruled that the film cannot be blocked on account of potential trouble and asserted that it is the job of the state government to protect people and maintain peace.
The court today said that order cannot be modified.
The movie is scheduled to release on January 25.

Detroit may not be everybody's idea of a vacation destination, but it is actually an exciting and vibrant city to visit. The people who live in the city are very loyal to their Detroit roots. After all, with all the money he has made since he left the infamous 8 Mile trailer park, Eminem still lives in the Detroit area, all be it a mansion in the hills.
Detroit was founded as "la Ville d'Etroit" - "the City at the Straits" in 1701, making it one of the Mid West's oldest cities. It was originally a very strategic point of French and Native American trade, and but the by middle of the 19th century Detroit was being compared to Paris in terms of its scenic parks and wonderful architecture.
Much of that changed in the twentieth century, when Detroit became the Motor City, still the area's primary focus today.
With the growth of the early auto industry Detroit sprawled outwards and encompassed an even larger geographical area, which eventually made it one of the country's largest metropolitan areas.
Of course, Detroit is best known for cars and music, it is after all the home of Motown, one of the most influential music companies in the history of rock and roll (and more recently the aforementioned Mr. Mathers) But Detroit is also one of the world's busiest ports, and is a also a major steel producer.The Detroit River is linked by ships to over 40 countries, and by vessels ranging from huge freighters to private yachts that lay in dock in the city's protected harbor.
Detroit is also extremely ethnically diverse. A visitor can head to Hamtramck to visit its wonderful Polish bakeries or dome to Mexicantown which is home to a great number of affordable restaurants.
Back in the 1970s those who govern Detroit decided to try to give the then embattled city a new nickname "Renaissance City". However, it was not until the 1990s that much was done to help Detroit live up to that moniker.
The crime rate in the city is still one of the highest in the country, and there were some political scandals in 2008 that put the city's revitalization efforts back a little, but the addition of a host of restaurants and nightclubs have helped revitalize the city's downtown area. The new glitzy theater district now has almost as many seats as the great White Way in New York City. The whole of Detroit now finally seems to be pulling itself out the past into a brighter future.
Detroit is one of the 13 metropolitan areas in the USA that are home to all teams who play in the four major professional sports leagues. The new Comerica Park is the home of the MLB's Detroit Tigers, Ford Field to the NFL's Detroit Lions and Joe Louis Arena to the NHL's Detroit Red Wings. The Palace at Auburn Hills, home of the legendary Detroit Pistons of the NBA, is located just outside of the city limits too.

Three Unusual Symptoms Heartburn Can Cause
Click Here To Send This Post To A Friend
Although acid reflux is quite common, the range of symptoms heartburn can produce is surprisingly broad, with some symptoms that are easily recognizable, and others that are more unusual and can therefore be difficult to recognize as symptoms caused by heartburn.
If you suspect you may be suffering from symptoms heartburn may have triggered – whether they are common or unusual – it is important that you speak to your doctor for a formal diagnosis. This is to rule out any other underlying condition and to prevent any serious or long-term consequences that may result from the disorder.
GERD can cause you to suffer from reactions that can range from quite mild – almost unnoticeable – to ones that are actually life threatening. Keep in mind, the more dramatic symptoms heartburn causes are typically those that have developed over time, so if you do feel a bit of discomfort you shouldn't panic. However, make a doctor's appointment anyway to ensure you know the degree and type of GERD you are suffering from and what your options are.
Aside from typical symptoms heartburn presents, you may also want to watch for these less common symptoms, which can include:
Pain – though pain is one of the more common symptoms heartburn has to offer, there are forms of pain that are considered to be quite unusual. For example, the typical pain felt from GERD includes a burning sensation in the mid to upper chest region, or a burning sensation in the esophagus or lower throat area. However, more rare are pains that migrate to the shoulder blade or overall shoulder area.
Vomiting – among the more unpleasant symptoms heartburn presents is varying degrees of vomiting. This can include wet or sour burps, wet hiccups, or food coming up a bit within an hour of eating. Less common versions of this potential symptom of GERD include feelings of nausea during or soon after eating or sometimes projectile vomiting. Though not common, there have been cases where this has occurred and should be checked if you experience these symptoms and suspect GERD.
Respiratory – the respiratory system is easily impacted by GERD and therefore frequently presents with symptoms caused by heartburn. These commonly include a runny nose, bad breath, recurrent sore throat, sinus infections, upper respiratory infections, wheezing, bronchitis, asthma, a nagging dry cough, coughing at night, frequent throat clearing, labored or noisy breathing, a hoarse or deepened voice, or nodules on the vocal cords. More rarely however, GERD can develop into sleep apnea, aspiration (inhalation of stomach acids into the lungs), pneumonia, and laryngospasm (a brief spasm of the vocal cords that temporarily interrupts breathing, usually lasting up to 30 seconds).
Due to so many different kinds of symptoms – and a range of uncommon symptoms that can easily be mistaken for other illnesses, diseases, and conditions – acid reflux may not be the obvious choice as a diagnosis. Only a doctor can help you know for certain if your symptoms heartburn may be causing are indeed a result of GERD. When in doubt, it is always best to seek the advice of a medical professional. This is especially true in the case of children, who may need different remedy options than adults.
