The other day I was catching up with a friend and she recalled an incident that happened to her while passing by the makeup section at a department store. I found it very powerful and wanted to share it with you guys!
I want to preface this by saying that I used to work retail for a makeup company and the only reason I felt confident doing this was because I TRULY loved and believed in the product that I was selling. I wore it myself and found it easy to tell customers about a product I loved. By nature, I am not an outgoing person, and always feel pushy and "fake" when I am being told to say something specific to help the sales of a product. So, for that reason I have always enjoyed the "artistry" part of my job as a makeup artist and found that if it was something I truly believed in and used myself sales came naturally.
Back to Jen's story. She was out shopping, running some errands and lives in Hawaii. It is the hottest time of the year right now and she happened to be out and about without any makeup on. While passing the makeup department a makeup artist who worked at a counter approached her and said, " I have the perfect COVERAGE for your complexion."
Jen replied, " What's wrong with my complexion that it would need coverage?" He stumbled over his words taken back by her response. He then told her that it is his JOB to say that to people in order to help drive sales. She then asked to speak with the cosmetic store manager and told them that she was VERY upset by this sales approach and the words that this makeup artist said to her.
She said she was trying to be confident running around with a natural face and no makeup and didn't need anyone telling her there was something to "correct" or "cover" on her face. She expressed that she believed they should re-think their sales approach and their view of real beauty.
When Jen told me this, I was so PROUD of her for being bold enough to say something about how she felt in this situation. I think this is a very common approach from employees who need to sell makeup. They are told to say certain things to draw the customer in… after all it is THEIR job to SELL the makeup, but at the end of the day, "WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?" Are we telling women that they NEED to cover up their under eye circles and blemishes in order to be more beautiful? I will admit that I feel more confident when I use makeup to put my best face forward. And, since I am a makeup artist, I like to present myself in that way. It's also fun for me to enhance my features to the best of my ability. But- I also know that it is not what makes me a beautiful person.
So my thought was, maybe the cosmetic industry just needs to be more mindful on their sales approach when going up to women in a department store. Don't tell women what they NEED to FIX, tell them what you find beautiful about them… strike up a conversation, ask them how their day is going, then maybe as you connect with that person they will want to spend more time talking and if they are looking for makeup, they will trust you enough to help them with some tips and tricks. This is just a thought. 🙂 You don't need to fix or cover anything, you're beautiful for how you were created and for the qualities that make you YOU-believe that!
I wanted to wrap this up by posting a "no makeup selfie" I took with my nephew…since USUALLY all my photos I am wearing makeup and I like to post pictures like that cause you know me and my mascara are tight like that. HAHA 😉 Remember this "Just because she's beautiful, doesn't mean you're not".
One of my best friends asked me one day, "Lauren, do you think you're beautiful… do you know you're beautiful?" I almost started crying… because I had to think about it.
So, this is my challenge to you… ask yourself this question today, "what are the things that make me beautiful? Do you KNOW you're beauty." For me I must remind myself of these things daily. It's a daily struggle and I think for many women it is.But-I'm here to encourage you!
Love you all!

Tax Law
The practice of tax law involves providing advice on the structure of a variety of commercial transactions, negotiating their terms, and assisting clients with tax-related controversies, including any that may arise out of those transactions. The types of transactions covered can vary widely, from the formation of new enterprises, funds, and joint ventures to mergers and acquisitions, securities offerings, and bank financings and even to internal restructurings and bankruptcies.
The structure of a transaction can significantly affect its tax consequences, and very small changes in structure or in the underlying facts can have enormous tax significance. Tax lawyers design structures with those consequences in mind, while also taking into account the parties' commercial goals, timing issues, and any other legal or accounting considerations. The tax treatment of some transactions — such as a "spin-off," where a company distributes subsidiary stock to its shareholders — is highly complex, and tax lawyers may assist clients in obtaining confirmation of their transactions' tax consequences from the IRS in the form of a private letter ruling.
Tax lawyers also review and negotiate the terms of the transaction, ensuring that the legal agreements implement the deal in a manner consistent with its intended structure. The agreements also govern the relationship between the parties. They may help the parties understand the intended tax treatment, identify certain tax exposures, and allocate responsibility between the parties for any taxes that may apply.
Tax lawyers also work with clients to determine the most tax efficient manner of carrying on ongoing business operations, taking into account federal, state, local, and international tax considerations.
On occasion, tax-related disputes arise between the parties to a transaction or with the IRS or another taxing authority. Tax lawyers may represent clients in administrative proceedings, private settlement negotiations, or litigation related to these controversies.
Tax lawyers are responsible for providing technical advice and analysis, but must fully understand the overall business transaction in order to do so. The best lawyers give advice in a way that is clear, thoughtful, and business-minded. Tax lawyers need to be closely involved in a transaction from the very beginning and throughout the transaction, in order to be able to give the best advice on an ongoing basis and to be able to modify the structure, if necessary, in response to any changes to the business terms of the transaction.

Second Annual SF Energy Watch Participating Contractor Appreciation Breakfast
News by Topic
Participating contractors and vendors came together at the second annual SF Energy Watch's Contractor Appreciation Breakfast last Wednesday. Attendees had a chance to enjoy delicious food and drinks, while conversing with program staff and networking with each other. See photos.
SF Environment was pleased to celebrate their hard work and contribution to the SF Energy Watch program, a public-private partnership between the City of San Francisco and Pacific Gas and Electric Company that offers financial incentives for energy efficiency upgrades to commercial and multifamily property owners. Thanks to their labor, the program has completed almost 300 energy efficiency projects and has paid almost $1 million dollars in incentives so far this year.
"We are on track to achieve 93% of the program's kW goals for the year, and we appreciate the particularly hard work you are doing to meet our early deadlines in November so that SF Energy Watch can continue to be a robust program in the next program cycle" said Debbie Raphael, Director of SF Environment.
SF Energy Watch is designed to make energy efficiency easier and more affordable, create jobs and stimulate the local economy. The work of participating contractors and vendors is instrumental to achieve the program's energy saving goals so incentives continue to be offered. Their services also help fight climate change. More efficient equipment installed in San Francisco means fewer greenhouse gas emissions. Working together San Francisco becomes a better, cleaner and more sustainable place to live and work.
A dynamic city like San Francisco requires the efficient use of clean, renewable energy to meet the needs of today and future generations. Our innovative policies and programs help San Franciscans use energy wisely, while saving money and reducing environmental impacts.
SF Environment aims to reduce travel-created carbon by getting people out of cars and instead traveling by walking, biking or public transit. We also are greening the City fleet of vehicles and encourage the public to reduce their impact by supporting cleaner fuels and vehicles.
Zero Waste
Imagine a world in which nothing goes to landfills or to incinerators. We think it is achievable, and SF Environment is doing everything we can to make it happen.
Toxics & Health
As the first city to adopt the Precautionary Principle, San Francisco strives to protect the health of its residents, visitors and the local environment. SF Environment develops programs and policies to help individuals and businesses make safer choices in products, practices and services.
Buildings & Environments
San Francisco is habitat for 800,000 people – meeting needs for space to work, play, and learn; for food, water, and air; for community with local flora and fauna. SF Environment provides support for urban agriculture and forestry and green buildings, helping residents and businesses harness environmental opportunities.
Education & Equity
SF Environment focuses on building community capacity - engaging people throughout the City's neighborhoods and providing them with the tools, education, and job opportunities to ensure that the places where we live, play, learn, and work are safe and healthy.
Climate Change
Reducing carbon emissions is central to ensuring a sustainable future for San Francisco. Climate change will bring unstable weather, rising sea levels and damage to our city's natural habitat and infrastructure. SF Environment is committed to mobilizing the City to deal with Climate Change.

Foodways | Digital Traditions
Foodways are one of the most prevalant community-based art forms in the South. South Carolina history is strongly rooted in agriculture and food has long been an important aspect of economic and social life. From large rice plantations in the Lowcountry to family farms tucked in the hillsides of the Piedmont, food preparation was a large part of daily life. Parents taught children how to prepare vegetables and dress hogs. Different ethnic groups brought recipe variations with them when they settled throughout the state. Germans in the Midlands, French influences on the coast, and Scots-Irish in the Piedmont. More important, recipes synthesized African and Native American influences to create a wholly unique environment.

Russian leader Vladimir Putin's campaign to annex the Crimean Peninsula has raised military tensions in Eastern Europe as former Soviet republics and their western neighbors wonder what Moscow's next move might be. Although the Crimea was part of Russia for centuries before Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev folded it into the Ukrainian republic in 1954, military planners in Eastern Europe's capitals can't ignore the possibility that Putin might seek to recover other lost territories. One place where people are especially apprehensive is Poland, a country of 38 million that joined NATO in 1999 and the European Union in 2004 but shares borders with three former Soviet republics and the Russian enclave at Kaliningrad on the Baltic Sea.
With few natural barriers to keep invaders out, the Poles are counting on western allies to back up their own indigenous defense efforts. Western nations in turn need Warsaw's support for whatever sanctions they impose on Russia to deter further expansionist moves. But history has taught the Poles that they can't count on other nations to save them, so long before the Ukraine crisis unfolded, Warsaw decided to buy a network of defenses against overhead threats originating in Russia. Called the Polish Shield, the $43 billion project would be able to counter fighters, bombers, drones, cruise missiles and tactical ballistic missiles. Longer-range ballistic missiles could be handled by land- and sea-based defenses the U.S. is deploying to the region.
The linchpin of the Polish Shield is a family of mobile radars and surface-to-air missiles that Warsaw will buy from foreign suppliers, with the aim of giving much of the production work to local contractors. Poland's military has narrowed down the number of prospective offerors to four teams – two led by U.S. companies, one by French companies, and one by Israelis. And that's where the politics begin. The traditional U.S. champion in such competitions has been Raytheon's RTN +0.87% Patriot air defense system, which was developed during the Cold War. The U.S. had planned to develop a successor to Patriot called the Medium Extended Air Defense System, or MEADS, but the Army decided to kill that program several years back for lack of funding.
There isn't much doubt that the next-generation MEADS is more capable than Patriot — or at least would be if it entered production. It offers 360-degree radar coverage in an easily transportable configuration that could be mounted on the Army's most common medium truck. All of its sensors, missiles and command centers can be carried on C-130 or A400 airlifters, and once on the ground the system's wireless links enable it to disperse to safe locations without losing any of its defensive punch. The much heavier Patriot batteries only cover 90-120 degrees of the horizon and require a lot more airlift. Moving them around once they are deployed on the ground is a logistical challenge.
The Army decided to stick with Patriot partly because at the time it was fighting insurgents who lacked aircraft and missiles — making air defense a low priority. But it isn't a low priority anymore because the focus of U.S. military strategy is shifting to the Western Pacific where U.S. forces confront a rising China, and now Russia has forced its way back into U.S. military calculations. Both countries field ballistic missiles and airborne weapons that would present a challenge to Patriot in its current form, and the outlook is for such weapons to become more capable in the future.
So in an unusual move, the Obama Administration late last week gave prime contractor Lockheed Martin permission to offer the Medium Extended Air Defense System to Warsaw for use in Polish Shield. The Poles have known about MEADS for some time, because two other European NATO nations — Germany and Italy – provided 42% of the money needed to develop it. A Polish delegation showed up for November tests in which a MEADS prototype demonstrated its ability to intercept a drone and a ballistic missile approaching from opposite directions.

Many plants in the Colorado landscape are affected by diseases every year with some causing little to no damage while others may produce a sudden decline or death. Chemical controls have been proven to be largely ineffective against most of these pathogens. The best defense against any of these diseases is to ensure plants are healthy, fertilized and properly watered. Prevent injury to the plant and damage to the roots. Removal of diseased wood may be required to prevent the spread of disease. If you think that a disease may be harming your trees or shrubs, then meet with an Elk Creek representative to have it diagnosed correctly the first time.
Front Range Plant Bacterial Diseases
Fireblight is a bacterial disease that most commonly affects crabapples, apples, pears, mountain ash and at times, other fruit trees in the Rosaceae family along the Front Range. This bacterium is introduced through open wounds or from pollinators transferring the bacteria to flower blossoms. Warm, wet conditions during spring and early summer will encourage the spread of fireblight. Trees with fireblight will develop curled and blackened tips extending down the branch towards the trunk. Leaves will remain on branch after they have died turning brown or black and severely affected branches appear burned. Pruning of diseased wood is recommended while the tree is in dormancy; any pruning done during the growing season can transfer the bacteria with each cut so this is generally not recommended. Elk Creek recommends an antibiotic trunk injectable treatment in the spring to help control the spread of fireblight.
Bacterial wetwood is a common disease that affects many of our shade trees including aspens, elms, cottonwoods, maples and willows though it may be found in a variety of trees. Areas of infection will be moist or wet with a yellow-brown discoloration on the bark. Internal gas pressure from the bacteria will cause slime to ooze from the trees' central core which is slimy and has an unpleasant odor. This slime will also attract insects and can be a host for fungi. Bacterial wetwood will inhibit new growth in infected areas and may eventually kill the tree. There is no effective control for wetwood.
Front Range Fungal Diseases
Marssonina Leaf Spot is the most common foliage disease of aspens and cottonwoods in the urban corridor. Infections will occur after bud break during warm and wet springs. Damage to the leaf first appears as small brown flecks with a yellow halo and as it progresses, spots will merge to become large black areas and leaves will fall prematurely. This damage is mostly aesthetic and contained to the leaves, although repeated outbreaks year after year will stress the tree. Removing fallen leaves from the landscape will help to prevent the spread of this disease in the spring.
Septoria Leaf Spot is more commonly associated with cottonwoods but will also affect aspens. Damage may be irregular but can begin as tan spots with a black border progressing to large brown or black areas. As with other leaf spots, the damage is mostly aesthetic. We do not recommend the use of fungicides to control leaf spots.
Shoot Blight is a fungus that affects new growth tissue on aspens and cottonwoods. This fungus will be spread during warm, wet conditions at any time of the growing season. Symptoms first appear on the leaves as brown or black areas causing distortion and dead leaf tissue. Affected leaf shoots will turn black and begin to curl resembling a shepherds' crook. The removal of fallen leaves as well as the pruning of dead branch tips during dormancy will help to control this disease.
Cytospera Canker affects many trees and shrubs in the Front Range landscape. The fungus will attack plants or parts of plants that are injured or highly stressed, especially affecting plants with root damage. Cankers will form on the bark of the limb appearing as a blister and may ooze sap. Leaves on affected limbs will turn yellow and may fall prematurely. As the canker girdles parts of the plant, new growth will be inhibited and dieback may occur above the canker. No effective chemicals are available to control the fungi that cause canker. Pruning of diseased wood is recommended to control the spread of this disease.
Apple Scab will affect crabapples as well as apple trees. It will create leaf blotches and cause yellowing of the leaves, leaves may drop early. This fungus will also damage the fruit causing dark, soft spots and reduce the quantity of the crop. Cultural practices are the best defense against this disease. Avoid irrigation hitting the leaves of the tree, prune think trees to enhance air circulation and drying, remove all leaves from the ground in the fall and prune diseased wood from the tree during dormancy. For repeated outbreaks, a fungicide may be applied at bud break in the springtime.
Anthracnose causes mainly aesthetic problems for sycamores and oak trees in our region though repeated outbreaks year after year will stress the trees. Symptoms appear during the summer but the damage was done at bud break during wet, cool springs. Leaves will develop irregular brown patches and distortion is common. Leaves will drop early and there may be some tip dieback. Fungicides are not effective for this disease. Remove all leaves from the ground and prune deadwood from the tree.
Dwarf Mistletoes are common throughout the western U.S. These leafless, parasitic plants will commonly infect ponderosa pine, pinyon pine, lodgepole pine, and Douglas fir. These plants will actually root into the bark stealing water and nutrients from the host tree causing yellow needles, reduced foliage and witches broom. This will cause a gradual decline in the trees health and will make susceptible to disease and insects. Mistletoe should be removed from the host tree by pruning.

The amount of spin you place on a golf ball directly affects the success or failure of a variety of shots. For example, you must impart just the right amount of side spin on the ball to hit a controlled fade or draw. When you're hitting an approach shot, you typically want as much backspin as possible on the ball -- particularly if you're hitting from the rough -- so the ball won't bounce or roll off the green. A rough-surfaced club can help impart backspin on the ball.
Friction Defined
Friction is a key element that helps create backspin during a golf shot. Friction is defined as the force that resists movement between objects that come in contact with each other. The smoother the surfaces of the objects that collide or are rubbed together, the less friction created. Conversely, rougher surfaces produce greater amounts of friction.
Club Face Friction
If the golf ball and club face were both smooth surfaces there would be little friction, so the ball would naturally slide up the angled club face on impact. The resulting shot would have little backspin. A dimpled golf ball is, obviously, not a completely smooth surface. Additionally, the club's grooves are designed to apply friction to slow the ball's progress up the club face. This results in a greater amount of backspin. Likewise, a club head designed with a rough face adds even more friction, which further resists the ball's ability to climb up the club face and therefore adds even more backspin to the shot.
Regulated Roughness
Because the benefits of backspin can be so great on certain shots, the United States Golf Association limits the degree of roughness a club head may contain. Appendix II, Section 5b, of the Rules of Golf states that with a few exceptions the roughness of a club's impact area "must not exceed that of decorative sandblasting, or of fine milling." Exceptions to this rule allow for grooves, punch marks and certain decorative markings on the club face. The impact area on a typical club is the area in which grooves are cut.
USGA Guidelines
The USGA's equipment guidelines further refine the definition regarding allowable roughness on the club head's surface. Club faces conforming to USGA regulations may not have a roughness measured at more than 180 micro inches. On milled club heads, the crest-to-trough depth cannot be greater than 0.001 inch, which equals 0.025 millimeter.

Apparently otters are Patriots fans. On Saturday, the North American river otter at the Lehigh Valley Zoo in Schnecksville correctly picked the New England Patriots to win Super Bowl XLIX.
Zoo officials gave the otter two otter-safe "footballs" stuffed with some of the otter's favorite fish like sardines and capelin - one marked for the Patriots and the other for the Seattle Seahawks.
The otter made no hesitation and went straight for the Pates football, picking the eventual winner in the 28-24 match-up.
The zoo says the otter is very active in the winter months and haa a thick fur coats to keep it warm. Otters are native to North America and have adapted to living in the cold temperatures.
See the otter and other animal daily 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the zoo at 5150 Game Preserve Road, Schnecksville.

I spent an hour last night and another hour today bidding on various exercise clothes on ebay. I go to boot camp three days a week and try to run one or two days a week so I need lots of exercise clothes. Unfortunately, I kept getting outbid on things at the last second. But that's okay with me because...
My weekly trip to the thrift store today turned up this pair of NEW Lululemon belted exercise pants --for $3.99! I seriously just about freaked when I saw they were my size! Even if they weren't my size I would have bought them just to turn around and sell them for some serious cash on ebay. Okay, that's not true. I would have just kept them in my closet so I could see that I bought $145 exercise pants for $3.99. Since they do fit I'll be wearing these babies often. They are so comfy.
My New Lululemon Pants
These are brand spankin' new pants, People!
Another pair of these same exact pants are selling on Ebay today: Starting big $110 or Buy it Now $130 + $15 for shipping!
Someone else's Ebay posting and picture. Their picture quality is way better than mine. I'm over it.
Often I find great deals on less expensive brands, like GAP. Last week I bought this GAP fully lined, side-zip, herringbone wool pleated skirt. Because it had the week's 50% off number on the tag, I only paid $1.98 for it. It's perfect for fall.
Snub your nose at me and my thrift stores if you want. I don't care. I'll be happy to keep dressing cute and saving thousands of dollars a year on my high quality thrift store finds. It's the only way (for now) I could afford to wear such lovely brands like Saks Fifth Avenue and Lululemon. I have many other things to do with the money I save.

Print pageVaccinations
Infection control is important to prevent cross infection between patients.
Most is known about this problem in patients with cystic fibrosis, who are particularly vulnerable to both cross infection and to worsening symptoms when infected with certain organisms. Of particular concern is transmission with pseudomonas, although much less is known about the impact of this organism in PCD or other forms of bronchiectasis.
As a result in-patients with any form of chronic suppurative lung disease are segregated to prevent this happening. This is achieved by personal hygiene regimens, separation of patients on wards and in clinic and avoiding sharing rooms for physiotherapy. Cleaning all nebulizer equipment and not allowing siblings to share equipment is essential.
Preventing infection is also possible with vaccination and all PCD patients should follow guidance for both annual vaccination programmes , and more long term protection for other bacterial forms of pneumonia. The following guide is typical, but can change depending on emergence of new organisms and development of vaccines. Your medical team will be able to update you on what is current.
- Seasonal flu vaccines are developed every year in response to the virus that is most prevalent. It does not protect against all forms of influenza, and is only protective against the most likely virus to cause an epidemic that season.
- Swine flu vaccines have been developed in a very similar way to the seasonal flu vaccine in response to the worldwide spread [pandemic] of the H1N1 virus. This is a newly identified virus and less is known about how it will behave in any given season, or what will happen when it is prevalent with another form of epidemic flu. It is safe and well tolerated and all PCD patients should be offered this protection.
- H. influenzae type B is now part of routine childhood vaccination programmes.
- Streptococcus pneumoniae is a common infection in PCD and all patients are advised to have the pneumococcal vaccine. This vaccine does not need to be given annually, and covers many but not all serotypes of the organism. Therefore, pneumococcal infections may still occur and should be treated aggressively.

Oregon Approach to Reforming State Licensure Boards and NPDB for Disclosure Movement
What they have done in Oregon is very novel and I actually think cleaner than the original Sorry Works! language of 2012. Moreover, it addresses apology immunity in a very nice way too. In short, Oregon's leaders have proposed establishing a patient safety commission, and this commission will accept voluntary reports of adverse events from doctors, hospitals, or patients/families. Nobody gives up their legal rights, either side can instead choose to go to court. If, however, they go to the commission, the conversations are confidential and never can be used in court, and, moreover, the report to the commission is not considered a written demand for money under Oregon law --- so even if a payment is made it is not reportable to state licensing boards or the NPDB. Once a report is made to the commission, there is a time line...so things don't drag on forever, and, again, people can still go to court at the end of the process. Very novel process. I like it. It encourages people to talk, and will truly make the court house the last option. Lastly, the commission will use the reports for safety improvements, but without naming/shaming providers...which I think is so valuable for encouraging caregivers to talk and improving safety and quality.
Here is the link for the Oregon language, and here also is a letter of support from the Oregon Medical Association.

187/75 outside midfielder
Capable of sustaining a ranking of 8-25 within an AFL list
Style like Clinton Young
Selling points are his pace and ball carrying ability, offensive hurt factor and kicking depth
Tested very well for endurance, but doesn't show on the field – perhaps because he is lacking in game sense/reading of the play?
Skill execution and decision making are both decent to good
Fitness base has further scope for improvement given he has never had a pre-season at VFL before (debuted mid year?)
Queries are he plays too reactive/doesn't win enough of his own ball
Smith has the potential to be a good ball carrying wingman at AFL level that may be able to play off the flanks.
He isn't a mature age recruit you'd expect to be at his best straight away like perhaps Liam Anthony, Greg Broughton and Michael Barlow, but given a couple of pre-seasons to improve his fitness base and body size he should be performing near his peak.
I would think he's worth a draft selection in the late second round or beyond.

Got A Leak? We Can Help Locate Any Leak. Call (805) 210-8455
Expert Leak Detection Services
The EPA estimates that 10% of US homes have leaks wasting 90 gallons of water each day, or more. Much of that just goes straight down the drain, but it still indicates that a many of homes have serious leaks. But it's not just about wasting precious water. Even excess moisture quickly leads to mold and expensive water damage repairs. And that can happen in as little as a day. If there's lots of water involved, that's an emergency situation.
That's why we offer 24 hour leak detection services to all Ventura County for precise location, averting water damage repairs.
You may know that you have a leak and need to locate it. The source can actually be quite far away from pooling water or other indications, even in flooding situations. Or you may only suspect a problem because you've noticed an unexplained jump in your water bill, damp or warm spots, mold or musty odors, or perhaps wet or luscious growth areas outdoors. Fortunately, it's easy to test if you indeed have a leak, and it's no longer necessary to deal with demolition to find the location. Our expert leak detection services can find the problem without making several holes in the walls or floor, or lots of digging out in the yard.
The Pros at JW Home Care Restoration
We're a local independent company, family owned and operated. We use up to date with the latest leak detection methods and technologies. We also have water damage restoration experts on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
Non-Destructive Hidden Leak Detection
Some problems are obvious — a broken toilet tank, washing machine hose, or water heater. But many sources remain hidden out of view. You might have a leaky roof, poor caulking around windows, or a plumbing problem. Pipe leaks can occur inside walls, above the ceiling, and even underneath a concrete floor. Such problems are especially likely if your building was constructed in the 1970s or earlier when galvanized pipe was common, but even copper plumbing isn't foolproof and doesn't last forever.
Even if there's no obvious problems, you face progressive water damage. Mold can get started in as little as a day, yet you might not see it. Mold doesn't need light and so can flourish inside walls and under flooring. And before long sheet rock (dry wall) deteriorates and any kind of wood (including paneling and structural framing) warps, splits, and rots. Water damage restoration can be expensive, but can be minimized with early detection.
Locating the source can be difficult, with water flowing quite some distance and in surprising directions. Our experienced technicians have a variety of techniques and tools at hand to deal with just about any situation. That includes pipe-tracing equipment, sensitive humidity and moisture meters, and electronic leak detection instruments that operate much like a beach metal detector. Methods also include sensitive IR thermal cameras to quickly survey tiny temperature differences that accompany water or even damp insulation, as well as ultrasonic gear.
All that means we will not be making numerous hit-or-miss holes looking for the source. We'll find it non-destructively the lowest restoration costs.
Slab Leak Detection
Most Southern California homes are built using a concrete floor slab as the foundation. Pipes are often run under the slab, and radiant heating systems sometimes run plumbing within the concrete itself. Aging pipes and gradual settling as well as earthquakes and other ground movement eventually results in a problem. Despite being out of sight and out of mind, the resulting flow of water erodes the soil under the building. That leads to uneven settling (and often still more leaks), that in turn leads to cracks in the floor, walls, and even ceiling. Without prompt slab leak repairs the damage can be extensive.
Our slab leak detection professionals can quickly determine if you have an under-slab problem , and then precisely determine the slab leak location. All without ripping up your flooring an jack hammering holes in the concrete all over the place.
Underground Leak Detection
Our electronic instruments are especially effective for underground leak detection. Whether from a water supply line, sewer line, or sprinkler system our experts can find the exact location for an absolute minimum of disruption to your landscaping. Precise leak location is especially important when the problem happens to be under a driveway, walkway, or patio. And again, it's not just about wasting precious water. An underground leak can lead to spoiled lawns and gardens, and even damaged foundation.

Hamer Korina Special (P-90s), heavy distortion
|Clips recorded through a Blackheart Little Giant 5 and 65 Amps London Pro 1x12 cab (Celestion G12H-30). Mic'd with a Shure SM57, dry into a Chandler LTD-1 mic pre with no EQ into an Apogee Symphony I/O to Pro Tools. No added reverb or FX.
I set up a Fender American Standard Strat, a Blackheart Little Giant 5 head, and a 65Amps London Pro cab with a Celestion G12H-30 speaker to evaluate the Blues Shaman. With the Blackheart set clean and flat, the pedal delivered a classic, slightly fizzy, thick-bottomed blues mood. The pedal translated picking dynamics superbly, and the whole rig felt lively and very touch sensitive. The Blues Shaman has a knack for conveying the nuances of the interaction between fingers, wood, and wire. It's very organic sounding.
Digging in with the Gain at 1 o'clock imparted the beautiful sound of a small combo nudging up against the breaking point. In the Combo setting, you can hear the Blues Shaman take on many of the qualities of an open-back cab with its airy, and less bass-heavy sound. The Tone knob is effective and has a very wide range. Rather than just add treble, it shapes the voice in a more dimensional way— moving from darker to brighter and fizzier without sacrificing bass clout. At first, I was leery of having only one control for tonal voicing, but in this case it was more than enough to dial in tones ranging from James Gang-style grit to Leslie West's Mountain-sized hugeness.
Switching to my humbucker-equipped Hamer Korina Special, I cranked up the gain and toggled to Stack mode, which thickened and tightened up the bottom end while emphasizing low mids. With my eyes closed and the amp volume high, the bristling, compressed tones made me feel like I was onstage at a late-'60s outdoor festival. Small as the test rig was, it sounded as badass as a Sunn Coliseum head—only at a much more practical volume. The Ascension switch propelled that sound even further into the stratosphere—adding a killer boost and livelier harmonics.
There is no doubt Rivera knows his amps. And the Blues Shaman feels like a pedal built by someone who understands an amplifier as a living, breathing beast. The Blues Shaman nails that tweed sound and so much more. I can envision situations where I'd happily take the setup I used for this review over a '50s tweed Deluxe simply for the versatility the Blues Shaman adds.
Buy if...
you need a wide range of tweed-style tones in a single pedal.
Skip if...
your overdrive tastes tend toward modern flavors.

From electronic structure to elasticity
Jianfeng Lu
Ab initio electronic structure models like density functional theory have been widely used in a range of applications. The mathematical understanding of these models is still sparse. In this talk, we will discuss some recent works about the continuum limit of the electronic structure models, trying to build connection between density functional theory and the elasticity theory. Algorithm developed based on the multiscale strategy enables electronic structure calculations for macroscopic systems. (Joint work with Weinan E).

How to get in?The 'Slyne Head to Erris Head' coastal description provides approach information to the suggested initial fix. Vessels approaching from the south should select the northbound sequenced description; vessels approaching from the north should select the southbound sequence; western approaches may use either description.
Little Killary Bay is on the west coast of Ireland on the border of Counties Galway and Mayo about 40 miles northwest of Galway.
It is a narrow inlet off the Atlantic Ocean about 2 miles long which has a northwest facing entrance channel between Carricklea islet to the north and Carricklass rocks to the south, and the Rosroe peninsular seperates Little Killary Bay from its near neighbour Killary Harbour. The shores of the inlet slope steeply, the south side being covered with trees down to the water whilst the north side is barren with Mweelrea mountain towering over it.
Access is straightforward and the bay can be entered in any weather, and once inside it offers good shelter. The two popular anchorages are off Rosroe Point on the north shore which has no facilities, and at the head of the bay beyond Ship Rock northeast of Salrock House where you may obtain water from a well with the owners permission. This good anchorage with perfect shelter has 8 visitors moorings in a tranquil location.
Consideration should be given to the number of fish farms in the area; and although the access is straightforward caution is required in bad weather or poor visibility as there are quite a number of off-lying rocks and shoals and it is not recommended for a night approach as there are no lights.
Why visit here?Little Killary Bay lies immediately to the south of Killary Harbour, their entrances divided by the Rosroe peninsular, and it runs in a south easterly direction for about 2 miles to its head at Salrock.
Illaunmore, a rocky islet connected with the shore by a sandy isthmus, forms the southern point of entrance, and care should be taken to avoid Bird Rock which is always above water, and similarly Carrickglass Rocks which stand between 7 and 15 feet high above the water at the entrance to the bay.
Fish farming is a major occupation of the area and care should be taken to avoid the salmon fishing nets and mussel cages, inside the entrance to the bay, whose positions are only approximately charted and are often moved without notice. An Adventure School also has its base on the southern shore of the bay and you may encounter several dinghies and canoes as you travel through. The area is also popular with serious climbers as the surrounding mountains offer severe challenges.
This tranquil bay has little in the way of facilities but is well worth a visit for its dramatic scenery.

Brain Lab for Kids is an interactive and hands-on book that takes readers on an exciting journey into the functions of the brain through enlightening experiments and creative activities.
Riding a bicycle, learning a new language, catching a ball, reading a book: these activities and everything else we see, hear, feel, and do are made possible by the soft, whitish-pink substance inside our heads called the brain.
And yet, we take for granted many of the amazing things our brain does for us. And so, Brain Lab for Kids offers 52 family-friendly activities, experiments, and models to help us understand how the brain accomplishes all that it does.
Each lab in this book is divided into several sections. After the title of each lab, the approximate time it will take to do the experiment is listed. The 'Methods' section provides a step-by-step guide of the procedures and materials you will need to complete the lab. The science behind an experiment is explained in the 'What's Going On' section. 'Brain Facts' are some interesting, fun, and perhaps surprising bits of trivia related to each lab. Finally, 'Thinking Deeper' has suggestions that you can use to take each lab further.
This expanding field offers the opportunity for all of us to learn about ourselves and others, and how we can better communicate, motivate, inspire and just plain collaborate together.
Eric H. Chudler, Ph.D. is a research neuroscientist at the University of Washington. In 1997, with support from the National Institutes of Health, Eric established 'Neuroscience for Kids', a website with information and interactive activities about neuroscience that can be used in the classroom or at home.

Aug. 3 claims filing deadline stands
Judge denies motion to move deadline to May 2016
People who want to file a claim against the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis have until Monday, Aug. 3, to do so.
During a Thursday morning hearing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Minneapolis, Judge Robert Kressel acknowledged and commended the archdiocese's efforts to notify possible claimants of clergy sexual abuse about the deadline.
The primary issue during the nearly 90 minute proceeding was whether the archdiocese had complied with the April court order specifying where the public notices of the Claims Filing Deadline needed to appear, and how often. Attorneys for the archdiocese provided the court with a 55 page affidavit showing that notices were published in 23 newspapers and on their websites, from national publications like USA Today and the National Catholic Reporter, to regional and local papers, like the Bemidji Pioneer, the Minneapolis Star Tribune, and the Hmong Times. In addition, Claims Filing notices were sent to more than 1,000 treatment centers and mental health professionals, 45 hospitals, the five other dioceses in Minnesota, and all 187 parishes in the archdiocese.
The judge rebuffed the unsecured creditors committee's assertion that the archdiocese hadn't done enough to notify possible claimants, saying the "effort to involve parishes was very helpful," and extending the Claim Filing Deadline to May 2016 was unnecessary because this case featured "longer notice than typically given and way more notice than typically given," in bankruptcy cases.
"I think it's a good step forward," archdiocese bankruptcy attorney Rich Anderson told reporters following the hearing. He pointed out that those who have legitimate claims against the archdiocese can still make them after the Aug. 3 deadline passes. "It doesn't close the door and doesn't intend to. There is an opportunity under extraordinary circumstances for people to come before the court. However, anybody who believes they have a claim should act before Aug. 3." Anderson added, "Monday's deadline allows the Archdiocese to move ahead with its reorganization and provide for just compensation to victims in a more timely fashion."
Charlie Rogers, the archdiocese's attorney negotiating with insurance companies, said Thursday's court ruling provides the momentum for the long process ahead. "What we're all geared towards is global resolution of everyone's claims — parishes, parish insurers, the archdiocese, the archdiocese's insurers," Rogers said. "And we have been proceeding along those lines since day one and will continue to proceed along those lines."
After Monday's Claim Filing Deadline passes, representatives for the archdiocese, parishes, and those who filed claims will begin looking at the claims, assess how much money is available and establish a plan to pay the claims and emerge from bankruptcy.
Notice by the numbers
(Places/People to Whom Notices of the Claims Filing Deadline Were Sent)

- 10 high schools
- 10 law firms, including Anderson and Associates, that might have represented past abuse claimants
