Buying a new car can be a very exciting time. Most of us start online researching the type of car we’re looking for. Reading reviews, visiting forums, going to the manufacturer’s website, and in the end, determining which car will meet our needs. Once we’ve narrowed it down we visit a dealership. Talk to the sales team. Take a test drive. Finally, a decision is made, and we buy a car. But the experience shouldn’t end when we drive off the lot.
Customer Experience can be the key difference between a one-time customer and a lifetime customer. Presumably the experience so far has been excellent. Otherwise the customer would not have made the purchase. Now is when you need to make sure the customer stays happy.
At OpenText™, much like a dealership, you can research your software purchase online, talk to the sales team about your needs and what would be the best software to meet those needs. You can even test drive our software.
But we don’t stop there. At OpenText we strive for lifetime customers.
For current customers on maintenance subscriptions, My Support—the self-service portal—connects customers with resources, communities and our excellent Customer Support team. We have also reinvigorated our support program offerings to streamline our customers’ access to support. Our support and software development teams are part of your “extended warranty”, making sure that all the parts run effectively and are maintained as efficiently as possible. Likewise, every interaction and journey through the support experience is mapped out and analyzed, carefully considering the details to ensure that customer environments run smoothly, just like a well-serviced engine.
We assist in the adoption of our products through onboarding, go-lives, CSMs, value realization initiatives as well as focusing on barriers to adoption and fixing them. So, we don’t just flip you the keys and leave you to figure out all the features of your software on your own. Our constant attention to detail means we’re here for you every step of the way, helping you get to a level of confidence where you can expand your business solutions and leverage your technical capabilities to achieve the objectives you had when you purchased our products.
Quarterly releases, and consistent version updates mean you are always up to speed on the latest and greatest. Our drive to improve our offerings gives our customers the confidence that we have their best interests in mind. In doing so, we inspire loyalty and the likelihood that our customers will recommend us to others.
Finally, in doing all this, we also maintain a consistent pulse on customer sentiment using frequent touchpoints and feedback systems. Every customer interaction is examined and implemented into our ongoing improvement initiatives, as we strive to reduce customer effort and ramp up customer success.
For Customer Experience (CX) Day this year, OpenText is celebrating our commitment to our customers. We take pride in our wholesome approach to customer experience and our satisfaction scores are a testament to this commitment. Much like a good dealership, when our customers are satisfied, they are more likely to keep coming back to us and are able to succeed in their own objectives.
We wish all our customers, partners and colleagues a happy CX Day as we continue forward on our OpenText journey together.

"An archer left behind by history…" Whoa, this looks awesome. Today's trailer is for an upcoming martial arts film called Judge Archer, written and directed by up-and-coming Chinese filmmaker Xu Haofeng, also behind the epic The Grandmasters. As described by Twitch, where I came across this, "Xu approaches his films with a unique blend of grounded pragmatism - you'll never see anything in his fight sequences that wouldn't actually work - and philosophical rigor." Yea, it is badass. It stars Song Yang, Yu Chenghui, Li Chengyuan, Yenny Martin and Zhao Zheng. Just give this trailer a watch, it's impressive, check it out.
Judge Archer resolves disputes between various martial arts schools, but cannot settle his family issues and romantic affairs. When he is entrapped in a failed assassination plot his own ethics are put to the test.
Judge Archer is the second film directed by Chinese filmmaker Haofeng Xu, following The Sword Identity in 2011, who also wrote The Grandmasters screenplay. It was written, directed and edited by Xu Haofeng, based on a story by Haofeng, who is also responsible for the martial arts direction. It's premiering at the Rome International Film Festival in November, and received three Golden Horse Award nominations, but otherwise doesn't have a US distributor or actual release date set. Stay tuned. Anyone want to see this?
he wrote The Grandmasters as well, thankfully WKW is directing that one.

On this site you will find a number of blog entries that speak about claimed psychics, the harm they do and the lies they tell. The links section will send you to sites that speak about police and 'psychics', missing children organizations and a number of other relevant items. For many of the "bloggers" on this site, Robbie Thomas is a local/homegrown non-psychic and, for that reason, this blog does have a lot of information specifically about Robbie Poulton/Robbie Thomas and the harm that he does.
Making blatantly false claims and then suggesting the police are incompetent: On December 7, 2007, John Ramses (who has since ditched and exposed Robbie) put out a "press release" that states: "medium Robbie Thomas is asking why Caesar Aguilar-Cano was left to die by the hands of a known child abuser after Thomas had provided accurate details to police and news networks as to Cano's whereabouts only two days after the child went missing." These claims are false - Robbie Thomas did not provide accurate information (discussed here) and the suggestion that the police failed to act is an absurd and abhorrent one.
What if someone promised to you that your pain would soon end only to have that very person use and abuse you? In June of 2005, Robbie Thomas tells the family of a local murder victim that their case would be solved within 6 months. The case, to this day, remains unsolved. The family has spoken out about Robbie Thomas. If that wasn't enough, he made disparaging remarks about the family on a radio program and has used pictures and information relating to their murdered sister/family member to promote himself.
Robbie has claimed involvement in the Natalee Holloway case (still not solved).
Robbie has claimed involvement in the Casey/Caylee Anthony case (was not solved by any 'psychic').
100% failure rate: Robbie Thomas claims that he has been involved in "Psychic Criminal Profiling" for 20+ years. To this date, he has solved 0 cases using his claimed psychic powers.
There are thousands of unsolved missing persons and murder cases. Psychics clearly don't exist or this would not be the case. Robbie Thomas is not psychic (nobody is) and any claims otherwise are either lies whether the person making the claim believes it or not. The harm that is being done by 'psychics' is real and this site is our small attempt at trying to protect innocent victims from being re-victimized by 'psychics' - this is especially important because it is at times when they are most vulnerable and open to abuse.

Today, I had the chance to preach a Good Friday message during a unity service in our small community. Matthew's record of the events of the Friday Jesus died hasn't left me this week. Perhaps it will be a Word that speaks to you.
It was in the wee hours of a Friday morning just like this that an angry contingent of people descended in the courtyard outside the home of the High Priest. They’d already been to see his father-in-law, and Annas had been in no mood for any discussion about the rabble-rouser they’d come to talk about. After all… serving as the conduit between God and man wasn’t his job anymore. But it was his son’s.
Caiaphas was no more excited to see them coming. But the wake-up call was more than necessary in his eyes. Sabbath was less than 24 hours away, and something needed to be done with this man. The religious Congress of the day, the Sanhedrin, assembled under the cloak of darkness to discuss the matter, because daybreak was at hand. They made no bones about the need to get rid of Jesus. There was easily enough evidence to convict this rebel prophet from Nazareth on blasphemy charges. He’d audaciously claimed to be the Son of God. But the quandary came in realizing that, though blasphemy was an offense punishable by death in Jewish tradition, none of this would hold water in Rome. Jewish leaders didn’t have authority to execute the death penalty. It would take a civil violation, a capital offense, to make the death sentence stick. Good news was, Caiaphas knew that the Roman governor had a weak spot, and the Sanhedrin were about to exploit it.
When the large group of elders and others marched Jesus into Jerusalem’s Roman HQ before the sixth hour of the day, the governor knew something wasn’t right. He also knew this was the last place in the world he wanted to be. Pilate was stuck. He was always concerned with needing to appease the Jewish people, as they’d threatened more than once to report him to his superiors for his less-than-stellar leadership qualities. He’d taken money from their Temple treasury to build better water lines; he’d ignored their personal worship space and paraded graven images in their presence knowing it was offensive to them. Now, Pilate was on edge; the threat of losing his job loomed large. But neither did Pilate want to do the scut work of local religious leaders who were overly fanatical about their God.
Now it was the governor's custom at the Feast to release a prisoner chosen by the crowd. At that time they had a notorious prisoner, called Barabbas. So when the crowd had gathered, Pilate asked them, “Which one do you want me to release to you: Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?" For he knew it was out of envy that they had handed Jesus over to him. While Pilate was sitting on the judge's seat, his wife sent him this message: "Don't have anything to do with that innocent man, for I have suffered a great deal today in a dream because of him." But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus executed. “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor. “Barabbas,” they answered.
Pilate’s paranoia held him captive from answering this question personally. He was trying only to answer it professionally. How, as a ruler, should I deal with an innocent man who everyone else wants to die? Fear caused Pilate to respond in a way that protected his public position, but cost him his personal peace. He chose to deal with Jesus by literally washing his hands of the whole situation. Yet in trying to excuse himself and make no decision, Pilate’ answered his own critical question by choosing to let someone else choose for him: the crowd.
Pilate’s response led to Jesus’ crucifixion at the cries of the crowd. But how do you respond to this question? What DO you DO with Jesus? And why does it matter?
Centuries of people have wrestled with the question of what to do with Jesus. Atheists respond with refusal. Zealots respond with extremism. Every version and denomination of evangelicalism responds with a message that their interpretive flavor of Jesus is the “right one” and everyone else is missing the boat. Regardless of where others landed in the past, the question is a present day prerequisite for every person. Because it is not a collective question, it is an individual one. A personal one. What shall I do with Jesus? Everyone of us is Pilate today, reconciling what we do with the One we call Jesus.
The question must be answered because our answer frames how we live. What shall I do, then, with Jesus — Who loved His enemies and prayed for those who cursed and persecuted Him, who turned over temple tables in the face of the “church leaders,” who won’t always give me what I want, but always gives me what I need? What shall I do, then, with Jesus — Who ate with the most undesirable, who spent His last days pursuing the unseen and unloved, who turns our understanding of all things upside down? What shall I do, then, with Jesus — Who calls me to deny myself daily, surrender to suffering and give myself away in order to receive eternal life, who said that in being first we are actually last, who in moments of greatest pain asked His Father to forgive those who tortured and wounded Him most? What shall I do, then, with Jesus — who suffered and bled and died?
What shall I do, then, with Jesus? He is not neat and tidy, He isn’t a personal god you can put in a box and dole Him out as you see fit. He is not dispensable or disposable. To embrace Jesus as He came and lived and taught and showed us God’s love is messy. It’s confusing to the world around us. Sometimes even to us. But we must decide what we do with Him.
We can applaud Him, as a any fan might, rooting for Him on Sundays in our team jerseys and even sporting His name on t-shirts and coffee mugs, but only as long as our team is winning and it’s the right season.
We can ignore Him, pretending that His story is fable and fodder, another fairy tale among many we’ve heard in our lives, making believe we can allow the “principles from His life” to help make us better people.
We can reject Him, refuting the truth of His life, death and resurrection, refusing to accept the grace and mercy He offered freely and instead try to live by our own rule.
What shall [you] do, then, with Jesus? If today you haven’t answered that question in the way that leads to life, then this Friday is just another day to you, an extra “vacation day.” If you cannot answer the question, then Friday is just Friday, it’s not Good. It’s not Good News. It’s not God News. It’s just News.
Is He a story, or is He is a Savior? Is He someone you cheer for, or is He someone you live for? Is He a great figure in history, or is He the greatest gift God gave to make His story known to all of man? You must choose today. You must answer.
As he faced making the decision that would alter the course of human history, Pilate could not know he was asking the question that shapes every life today. What shall I do, then, with Jesus? Pilate made his decision. Today, the God who “so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son” is asking you to make yours.
Great message, Thank you for sharing.

If you live in the following states, you HAVE to try Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka! Products are currently available in South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Virginia, Colorado, Nevada, Kentucky, Louisiana, and New York.
On the rocks this drink tastes just like homemade sweet tea! No alcohol aftertaste in the least. So yummy!
I'm not a big drinker, but when hanging out with friends, I do enjoy a yummy cocktail from time to time. (Or a Redbridge) Most bars do not carry a gluten free beer and I don't know of any in my little coastal town that offer one other than an apple cider. I am not a cider fan.
On my boyfriend's birthday a few weeks ago, we had a kickball tournament and then moved the party to our favorite bar downtown, The Goat and Compass. It's one of those neat places that isn't crowded but isn't dead. And they really offer cool things that appeal to customers. Such as "ski shots", where there are four shot glasses attached to a snow ski and you take the shots in a group. So fun. And they have a board where you can pre-buy drinks for friends at a later date and they write down your name, who it's for, and why. It's not in the heart of downtown on Front Street; it's off to the side in what they call "The Brooklyn Arts District". So it's relaxed.
So that night of his birthday I asked the bartender for a flavored vodka something and he said he knew just what I would like. He sat a drink down in front of me that looked like sweet tea, so I thought it was a whiskey drink. I let it sit there because I thought "No way is this mine!" Then he asked if I tried it, and I asked Oh was this mine? So I took a sip. HEAVEN. So good. My new staple! And it's local...even better!
Interesting... yet another thing from your blog that I think I am going to have to try!
Oh & I am loving the Absolute Los Angeles (Acai, Acerola, Pomegranate, and Blueberry). & I just learned that Absolut is donating $250,000 from the sale of Absolut Los Angeles to Green Way LA! Drinking good & doing good.
...so you think this would replace my daily morning iced tea?

There is tons of history behind Northampton, there are various parks and gardens, and plenty of activities. If you’ve been searching for things to do in Northamptonshire, then you’ve found the right article.
Built for the Hanbury family back in the 1730s, this Grade I listed house surrounded by gardens and parkland is a beautiful place for walks and exploring. Kelmarsh Hall and Gardens is open to the public on set days throughout the year.

Brixworth Country Park is a great place for all ages. Have a picnic overlooking the lake, take a walk, cycle or a jog around the multiple trails, let the kids burn off the energy having fun on the playground, or dine at the park’s cafe. It’s a fantastic place for large group gatherings and there’s plenty of car parking available.
Abington Park is much more than just a “park”. It’s situated around two lakes that feature multiple fitness trails, outdoor sports facilities, lakes, aviaries and a museum. There’s plenty of spots for picnics and exploring to be done. Let’s just say, Abington Park pretty much has it all.

The gardens are great to walk around and the artwork at the grounds is great too. You’ll also come across some very old trees and plans throughout the area.
Bowling is great fun for all ages! Tenpin located in Sixfields Leisure, Northampton is a fantastic activity for families, couples and friends. After a few games, test your arcade skills and play a bit of pool. Tenpin Bowling is open every day of the week until late.
Going fishing at Sywell on the 67-acre lake built back in Edwardian times, is a great activity. Sywell is recognised as one of the leading Tench fisheries in the country. It’s been known that Tench over 12lb have been caught, although the average is around the 7lb mark.
Built in 1815, 78 Derngate is the only house in England that’s been designed by a renowned modernist architect, Charles Rennie Mackintosh. It’s now a museum and still features beautiful architecture and plenty of history. It’s one of Northampton’s best attractions. The house features a restaurant, art galleries and various rooms with unique interior designs.

My blog is usually pretty full of sunshine and a chill place to be, but there sometimes comes a day when I really need to sit down and properly chat about what's in my head. I'm not a politician or scientist but there are a couple of issues and events that I've been paying most of my attention to over the last few months, that I feel need sharing with you now more than ever.
"You may think that his sexism and other misogynistic ways won't touch you if you're not in the U.S, but think of it as an umbrella casting shadow over a much larger space."
As everyone who's unfortunately not been living under a rock for the past few days knows, Trump is in the White House. I repeat, Trump is in the White House. You may think that his sexism and other misogynistic ways won't touch you if you're not in the US, but think of it as an umbrella casting shadow over a much larger space.
If the President of the United States isn't a role model then who is? The Women's Marches going on all over the world now are just one way to raise our voices. WE control our rights to abortions. WE deserve respect. We have authority over our own bodies and do not deserve to be objectified, etc, etc.
If you've been reading here for a while you'll know that this has always been close to my heart! Can you believe there are still people out there that don't believe global warming is happening? Vivian Westwood even had her say in the issue this week, designing this badass tote for LFW. Talk about this issue. Especially since it's been censored from the White House website and is being revoked of priority and urgency, after so many years of trying. We are at the tipping point and only we have the power to change this.
Although this fits into the category of 'womens rights', it's a pressing issue I thought deserved it's own slot. It will take 170 years, at this rate, for our pay to catch up to that of mens. This isn't just in the first world but perhaps more importantly in the third world where women often don't have access to the same resources as men, including education. Talk about this, fight for this. Challenge your bosses if you discover your male colleagues are being paid more than you.
"We are at the tipping point and only WE have the power to change this."
Nutella starred in some not so happy headlines last week such as Nutella Causes Cancer, because a base ingredient of it is the carcinogenic palm oil. Regardless of whether palm oil is cancer-giving or not, the farming of it has wreaked absolute havoc on the rainforest, driving lots of species including the Orangutang out of their habitats. Destruction of large rainforests ('the Earth's Lungs') means less CO2 absorption and less Oxygen output. In other worlds, palm oil is also a perpetuator of rising Greenhouse Gases, so never mind it being bad for you, it's bad for everyone!
Many palm oil plantations use child labour and unbearably low pay rates for their workers, so talk about this and learn about this. Look for a sustainable alternative to products with palm oil in them and tell people!
2015 and 2016 were the years where social media highlighted the refugee crisis a lot. Many of us saw some upsetting videos and just because these aren't currently viral doesn't mean that scenes like this aren't still happening. The next few years might see us taking on more refugees!
My hometown (a 98% caucasian seaside town) is taking on just over 200 refugees in the next couple of years and I can just hope that people are welcoming and accepting. We need to talk about how 'refugee' is not the dirty word that sad excuses for newspapers (I'm looking at you, The Sun) have made it out to be and be more supportive of those around us. Donate don't hate!
"There's no need for us to be using lipstick with fish scales or crushed beetles in."
So many awesome bloggers, Youtubers and brands are going cruelty free. Kat Von D's make-up line is now totally vegan and bloggers such as Carli Bybel have stuck to the switch of choosing beauty that doesn't perpetuate animal cruelty.
In 2017, there's no need for us to be using lipstick with fish scales or crushed beetles in. There's no need for us to buy lipsticks that have been so cruelly forced on animals until these corporate giants were happy with the product quality. Just look at Too Faced, Seventeen, and Lush! All killing it without a single life at risk (see what I did there).
Sadly there are plenty more issues going on that need talking about but none that I feel I know enough about to talk on! I'm trying to learn every day. Hopefully the message from this post isn't all doom and gloom but that now more than ever is a time to support, inspire, talk, teach and motivate each other.
In numbers, we're pretty good at changing the minds of higher authority just by using our actions and voices. As long as we aren't hurting anybody else, there's no harm in spreading awareness, especially if you have a platform to use!
Which of these issues means the most to you?

MANILA Despite the demolition of its offices, the Department of Justice Action Center (DOJAC) has served more than 4,000 people by providing them legal assistance as it assured continued service to the public.
DOJAC Program Director Perla Duque reported to Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra that the DOJAC has already served a total of 4,032 clients from January to April this year.
These include 22 people involved in gender-sensitivity issues, 71 senior citizens, and seven persons with disabilities.
DOJAC transferred to its provisional location pending the demolition of the Administration Building to pave the way for the construction of a new one, Duque said in a statement Monday.
At the moment, the DOJAC has transferred its operations at the Sunny Oak Building located along Engracia Reyes St. in Manila.
Last year, the DOJAC managed to serve a total of 11,883 clients.

The UV bulb is responsible in removing microorganisms that can range from bacteria and viruses to algae and protozoa. The advanced UV treatment is capable of disinfecting water faster than chlorine without the use of retention tanks and harmful chemicals to your drinking water. The UV lamp emits powerful ultraviolet light and incorporates natural ultraviolet light energy to eradicate microbiological contamination. Energy components contained in microorganisms absorb the light energy; this disrupts the DNA and prevents reproduction.

Happy summer, 2017! All’s well in the world of Manual Therapy in the downtown Appleton Zuelke Building (coming up on three years in my return to private practice @ Brennan Hussey, PT, LLC). I’ve enjoyed the stories of new and old patients as well as the appreciation felt when we arrive at an answer to the latest physical pain. And I continue to be amazed by how many of you (majority) yearn for alternative treatment and answers for physical pain. While mainstream medicine has sometimes helped, most people intuitively know that there must be more……yes, there usually is.
By considering the body as a collection of interdependent systems and parts, manual therapy offers an alternative view of treatment. For example, why do we assume the pain and the problem are in the same place?
Speaking of alternative and mainstream, Ellen (also Mayo Clinic PT Class of ’88) has started teaching tai chi. I do not recall ‘multifidi’ being a topic of discussion in our home since we studied together during our formal graduate school days in Rochester (this is a ‘mainstream’ adaptation of an ‘alternative’ practice in my opinion – see ‘back muscles’). Anyway, breathing, balance, mindfulness, and flexibility are ALL enhanced with tai chi. Did I mention fun?!
Enjoy the second half of your summer! Currently looking forward to a September return to Sacramento, CA & Kinections Educational Institute (formerly known as Ursa Foundation) for another great class in Manual Therapy.
As our trip continued we spent a few days in San Francisco, walking the hilly city from Chinatown to the Golden Gate Bridge. Finally, we were off to Sacramento to attend the Ursa Educational Institute course. I have colleagues and patients ask why I travel so far to attend continuing education classes. Beginning in 1989 (well before it was mandated by the Wisconsin Physical Therapy Association that PT’s attend classes to obtain CEU’s), I was introduced to the specific techniques and thought-process unique to Ursa practitioners. I have yet to be disappointed by the high-quality instruction of what I know to be the most productive method of treatment I can offer my patients. Once again, the class was a weekend full of theory, methods and hands-on guidance & growth. The course title: ‘A Comparison of Manual Therapy for Treatment of the Face & Skull’ might lead some to believe that the instruction was solely from the neck up. I knew this would not be the case and was excited to see how the treatment of the entire body (yes, the head bone’s connected to the neck bone….on down) would once again be the hub of the class despite the title. Long ago I learned that the effectiveness of the practitioner depends upon how each individual patient is treated from head to toe. As changes occur, reevaluation is performed from treatment to treatment. EveryBODY is unique and so is the presentation of ailments, pathology and pain. Now it’s back to work in Appleton, where I look forward to using the additional layer of knowledge gained from this recent course to aid in the manual therapy treatment I provide my patients…….from head to toe.
Next up…. Why I love owning a private practice clinic!

To mark the 1st Year Anniversary of business, I'm starting a blog centered on manual therapy and healthcare...................certainly other topics will be included. For my first post, I've chosen a bit of information about my background.
After a few months as a new graduate (Mayo Clinic, 1988), I found myself working as a staff PT at Mayo. Quickly becoming frustrated with the lack of challenge in the conventional medical system, I sought change. A new job found my young family in southern Oregon (Klamath Falls). It was here that I was introduced to a teaching institution, the Ursa Foundation in Seattle, WA (now Ursa Educational Institute in Sacramento, CA).
Over the past 26 years of classes in manual therapy, and numerous patients arriving with different afflictions from sport injuries to headaches to back pain, the flaws in our medical system have become obvious to me.
1) The pain we feel is where the problem exists.
2) Conventional providers offer everything we need.
With that, I'm off.....to another class in Sacramento - "A Comparison of Several Manual Therapy Approaches to Treatment of the Face and Skull"
Your thoughts, comments, suggestions for future topics?????

Civil Code § 1375.05 – Construction Defect Litigation; Filing Of Complaint; Inspection Process; Expert Witness Depositions.
(a) Upon the completion of the mandatory prefiling dispute resolution process described in Section 1375, if the parties have not settled the matter, the association or its assignee may file a complaint in the superior court in the county in which the project is located. Those matters shall be given trial priority.
(b) In assigning trial priority, the court shall assign the earliest possible trial date, taking into consideration the pretrial preparation completed pursuant to Section 1375, and shall deem the complaint to have been filed on the date of service of the Notice of Commencement of Legal Proceedings described under Section 1375.
(1) There is an insurer for a subcontractor or design professional, that did not have timely notice that legal proceedings were commenced under Section 1375 at least 30 days prior to the commencement of inspections or testing pursuant to paragraph (6) of subdivision (h) of Section 1375.
(2) The insurer’s insured did not participate in any inspections or testing conducted under the provisions of paragraph (6) of subdivision (h) of Section 1375.
(3) The insurer has, after receiving notice of a complaint filed in superior court under subdivision (a), retained separate counsel, who did not participate in the Section 1375 dispute resolution process, to defend its insured as to the allegations in the complaint.
(4) It is reasonably likely that the insured would suffer prejudice if additional inspections or testing are not permitted.
(5) The information obtainable through the proposed additional inspections or testing is not available through any reasonable alternative sources.
If the court permits additional inspections or testing upon finding that these requirements are met, any additional inspections or testing shall be limited to the extent reasonably necessary to avoid the likelihood of prejudice and shall be coordinated among all similarly situated parties to ensure that they occur without unnecessary duplication. For purposes of providing notice to an insurer prior to inspections or testing under paragraph (6) of subdivision (h) of Section 1375, if notice of the proceedings was not provided by the insurer’s insured, notice may be made via certified mail either by the subcontractor, design professional, association, or respondent to the address specified in the Statement of Insurance provided under paragraph (2) of subdivision (e) of Section 1375. Nothing herein shall affect the rights of an intervenor who files a complaint in intervention. If the association alleges defects that were not specified in the prefiling dispute resolution process under Section 1375, the respondent, subcontractor, and design professionals shall be permitted to engage in testing or inspection necessary to respond to the additional claims. A party who seeks additional inspections or testing based upon the amendment of claims shall apply to the court for leave to conduct those inspections or that testing.
If the court determines that it must review the defect claims alleged by the association in the prefiling dispute resolution process in order to determine whether the association alleges new or additional defects, this review shall be conducted in camera. Upon objection of any party, the court shall refer the matter to a judge other than the assigned trial judge to determine if the claim has been amended in a way that requires additional testing or inspection.
(d) Any subcontractor or design professional who had notice of the facilitated dispute resolution conducted under Section 1375 but failed to attend, or attended without settlement authority, shall be bound by the amount of any settlement reached in the facilitated dispute resolution in any subsequent trial, although the affected party may introduce evidence as to the allocation of the settlement. Any party who failed to participate in the facilitated dispute resolution because the party did not receive timely notice of the mediation shall be relieved of any obligation to participate in the settlement. Notwithstanding any privilege applicable to the prefiling dispute resolution process provided by Section 1375, evidence may be introduced by any party to show whether a subcontractor or design professional failed to attend or attended without settlement authority. The binding effect of this subdivision shall in no way diminish or reduce a nonsettling subcontractor or design professional’s right to defend itself or assert all available defenses relevant to its liability in any subsequent trial. For purposes of this subdivision, a subcontractor or design professional shall not be deemed to have attended without settlement authority because it asserted defenses to its potential liability.
(e) Notice of the facilitated dispute resolution conducted under Section 1375 must be mailed by the respondent no later than 20 days prior to the date of the first facilitated dispute resolution session to all parties. Notice shall also be mailed to each of these parties’ known insurance carriers. Mailing of this notice shall be by certified mail. Any subsequent facilitated dispute resolution notices shall be served by any means reasonably calculated to provide those parties actual notice.
(f) As to the complaint, the order of discovery shall, at the request of any defendant, except upon a showing of good cause, permit the association’s expert witnesses to be deposed prior to any percipient party depositions. The depositions shall, at the request of the association, be followed immediately by the defendant’s experts and then by the subcontractors’ and design professionals’ experts, except on a showing of good cause. For purposes of this section, in determining what constitutes “good cause,” the court shall consider, among other things, the goal of early disclosure of defects and whether the expert is prepared to render a final opinion, except that the court may modify the scope of any expert’s deposition to address those concerns.
(g) (1) The only method of seeking judicial relief for the failure of the association or the respondent to complete the dispute resolution process under Section 1375 shall be the assertion, as provided for in this subdivision, of a procedural deficiency to an action for damages by the association against the respondent after that action has been filed. A verified application asserting a procedural deficiency shall be filed with the court no later than 90 days after the answer to the plaintiff’s complaint has been served, unless the court finds that extraordinary conditions exist.
(2) Upon the verified application of the association or the respondent alleging substantial noncompliance with Section 1375, the court shall schedule a hearing within 21 days of the application to determine whether the association or respondent has substantially complied with this section. The issue may be determined upon affidavits or upon oral testimony, in the discretion of the court.
(3) (A) If the court finds that the association or the respondent did not substantially comply with this paragraph, the court shall stay the action for up to 90 days to allow the noncomplying party to establish substantial compliance. The court shall set a hearing within 90 days to determine substantial compliance. At any time, the court may, for good cause shown, extend the period of the stay upon application of the noncomplying party.
(B) If, within the time set by the court pursuant to this paragraph, the association or the respondent has not established that it has substantially complied with this section, the court shall determine if, in the interest of justice, the action should be dismissed without prejudice, or if another remedy should be fashioned. Under no circumstances shall the court dismiss the action with prejudice as a result of the association’s failure to substantially comply with this section. In determining the appropriate remedy, the court shall consider the extent to which the respondent has complied with this section.
(h) This section is operative on July 1, 2002, but does not apply to any action or proceeding pending on that date.
(i) This section shall become inoperative on July 1, 2010, and, as of January 1, 2011, is repealed, unless a later enacted statute that is enacted before January 1, 2011, deletes or extends the dates on which it becomes inoperative and is repealed.

Addressing Gaps between Teeth | Mehdi Fotovat, D.D.S.
When certain teeth don’t develop or if the permanent teeth are small, a space can occur. This situation frequently happens with the upper lateral incisors, the teeth next to the two upper front teeth.
The piece of tissue that usually stretches from the inside of your upper lip to the gum just above your two upper front teeth, the labial frenum may sometimes grow past the two front teeth. In this case, the tissue blocks the natural closure of the teeth.
Thumb sucking and pacifier use can create additional space, especially between front teeth.
When gum disease progresses, the results is loss of the bone that supports the teeth, which can make teeth loose and create space.
As primary teeth fall out and permanent teeth erupt, young children may develop a diastema. These spaces typically close once adult teeth move into their permanent position.
If you have a diastema, your orthodontist can perform a complete evaluation. After determining the cause of the space, the doctor can devise a treatment plan to close the gap and correct any alignment issues. Once the space is corrected, you should achieve a flawless smile.

This is a step-by-step walkthrough which will use existing database to create the model. We will create one console Application which will generate the model using existing databases.
Apart from that, You will also need to have NuGet installed on your Visual Studio and the 6.1 or later of the Entity Framework Tools.
Check here to see how can you connect to existing database. I have already created one database in my previous blog. I ll use the same database(CreateNewDatabase.ManagingContext) to generate the model.
Here I am going to make use of the Entity Framework Tools for Visual Studio to help us generate some initial code to map to the database.
Now Select Code First From Database from Entity Data Model Wizard and then click Next.
Select the connection to the database you created and set Entities name too and click Next.
From choose your version, Select Entity Framework 6.0 and click Next.
Once you are completed, you will see a number of items that have been added to the project.
App.Config : This file contains the connection string to the existing database.
ManagingContext : A ManagingContext class has been added to your project. This represents a session with the database, allowing us to query and save data. In the default constructor there is name=ManagingContext. This tells Application that the connection string to use for this context should be loaded from the configuration file.

Everyone loves a party, Bogart and me included. With Blue Bird almost ready for “prime time,” with it’s freshly painted exterior, I accepted an invitation from Stacey Healy-Dooney to attend this wonderful get together. Nearly a couple dozen children and their parents came by to share in learning of One Million Acts of Kindness.
Bogart was in his glory, playing with all of the children and even taking time to help put his paw prints on the “Rescue Dog on Board” window.
Thank you to everyone for making this day a great success.

Iowa judge dismisses bulk of Sioux City lawsuit against state speed camera regulations.
Sioux City, Iowa is feeling the heat. Earlier this year the South Dakota legislature enacted a law exempting state residents from out-of-state photo radar tickets based entirely on constituent complaints about Sioux City's speed traps which South Dakota Governor Dennis Daugaard (R) branded as "abhorrent." On Monday, an Iowa district court judge sided with Iowa Governor Terry Branstad (R) and his rules designed to curtail Sioux City's excess.
Local officials in Sioux City were so infuriated that the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) would impose limits on the use of speed cameras on state-owned roads that they filed suit in the Woodbury County court to have the state rules tossed out as unconstitutional. The DOT said it would only grant permission for speed camera use if a jurisdiction submitted a comprehensive engineering assessment to prove there is a safety motivation for the use of the devices. The DOT regulations would only grant permission as a last resort after all engineering countermeasures were exhausted. The required, detailed accident history could only consider crashes caused directly by speeding.
The city was most offended that the DOT banned as irresponsible and dangerous the use of mobile speed camera cars parked on the side of the highway. The court sided with the state in dismissing the suit as prematurely filed, as Sioux City failed to use the proper channels to appeal the state regulation.
"The city contends that an email exchange, between counsel for the city and state of Iowa, establishes exhaustion of administrative remedies," Judge James D. Scott ruled. "Without delving into the substance of the exchange, the court rejects the city's contention. Correspondence with one state employee does not negate a party's obligation to exhaust administrative remedies through official agency channels."
Instead of attacking the rule, the city is supposed to file for a permit from the state. If it is denied, then the court can consider whether the state was acting in an arbitrary and capricious manner.
"The record contains no evidence indicating an unwillingness by defendants to consider a request for approval of an automated traffic enforcement system," Judge Scott wrote. "The court finds the available administrative remedies to be adequate."
The court will only allow Sioux City to attempt to prove its allegation that state officials abused the administrative procedures act in crafting the speed camera rules. All other charges were dismissed. A copy of the decision is available in a 200k PDF file at the source link below.

We chatted with this dynamic musician about why and how she's influenced by bygone decades, where she gets her inspiration and more.
Dominique Pruitt laughs when she tries to describe what her music sounds like. The question stumps the 32-year-old singer-songwriter. Although she was raised in a musically-inclined family and has been singing for as long as she can remember, in many ways her voice is, and will always be, an evolving work in progress.
"I find I'm still discovering and exploring my sound myself, so describing it to someone is really hard," she says. "But, my ideal sound, which I'm trying to achieve, would be old-school country mixed with 60s surf rock mixed with spaghetti western with touches of soul, mariachi and calypso. Sounds a little insane, right?"
Insanity isn't always a bad thing, especially in Dominique's case. For her, the creative process is intensely personal, and getting up on stage and sharing the emotional fruits of her passion's labor can be therapeutic.
While she may struggle to find the right words to classify her music, her personal style — charming, vintage, sparkly and imaginative — is definitely the reflection her songs would see if they looked in the mirror. And when music sounds as good as Dominique's, labels are a superfluous box that need not apply.
What and who are some of your creative inspirations?
I'm super visually inspired, so movies often get my mind going. Movies often are the direct source for inspiration. I'm also strongly inspired by living and growing up in Southern California. The 40s/50s/60s are my favorite eras, so they are hugely inspiring in every sense. For musical inspirations, I love Patsy Cline, Harry Belafonte, Dwight Yoakam, Elvis, The Coasters and Dolly Parton.
What is your writing process is like?
My writing process varies, depending on whomever I'm writing with at the time. I write with lots of different folks, but usually it goes something like, I bring in an idea or concept I have for a lyric, I discuss what kind of a sound I want to write around it, we'll discuss inspirations, etc., and then we dive in. I don't really play any instruments, so I do have to rely on my cowriters to help create the musical sound — I'm a good micro-manager on that though, hahaha.
Can you talk about the hardest song you've ever had to write?
The hardest song I've ever written, I wrote with a friend about a year ago — it's called "Outsider." It's just incredibly personal, and we wrote it when I was feeling particularly isolated in the realm of friendships. It also just paints my story of how I've always felt stuck in between, wherever I am. It applies to friendships, the music business, all of that for me. I wouldn't actually say it was hard to write because it came so naturally, but it was very emotional to write. I definitely cried during those sessions!
Do you remember your first-ever live performance?
My first-ever live performance was in high school. I sang the national anthem when I was a senior, at a pep rally. I would say that's about the age I realized I really wanted to try to be a musician and pursue singing, although I didn't REALLY dive into it until way later.
If you could meet any musician, dead or alive, and pick their brain for an hour, who would you choose and why?
Prince. Because, Prince! No really, he was just a GOD of performance. I would talk to him about performing and his writing process and inspirations.
Now I'm listening to lots of 80s and 90s country. I grew up with lots of it around, so I'm revisiting it on the "Prime Country" station on Sirius/XM. It's kinda golden! I'm also listening to Kacey Musgraves whose writing I really admire, Sturgill Simpson, Lindi Ortega, and the Dixie Chicks — I saw them in concert a couple months ago and they BLEW ME AWAY!
What has been the proudest moment in your music career thus far?
One of the proudest moments so far was having my single on the radio back in 2013 — it was just the coolest feeling to be able to hear myself on the radio! Just like in the movie "That Thing You Do," where they turn on the radio for the first time and just freak out because their song is playing.
The most challenging thing for me is my constant battle with writing and creating my sound. I am really trying to depend on myself and write solo more, because I know just what it is I like, and sometimes that can't be explained to other co-writers. BUT, writing by myself is also a huge challenge in itself because I am my own biggest critic, of course.
What about the 40s, 50s and 60s speaks to you? Why do you think you were drawn to these bygone eras from a young age?
Every aspect about the mid-century eras appeals to me — the music, the cars, the movies, the looks, the style, the houses. EVERYTHING! My grandma showed me lots of 50s movies growing up, so I think maybe that's where my love sprung up from.
You personal style is incredibly unique — what inspires your fashion sense?
My fashion is inspired constantly by bygone eras, and, sounds cliché, but just wearing what I like and makes me feel good! I LOVE vintage, but I also like mixing it with modern stuff too, because it makes it even more unique. I have an obsession with showgirls from the 40s and 50s, so I LOVE sequins and fringe and crystals and feathers — and LOTS of skin showing, haha. Nothing looks better under stage lights than something sparkly. My favorite vintage store in LA is Squaresville in Los Feliz, and then just the flea markets. Flea markets are heaven to me!
You're also passionate about horses. Can you tell us a little bit about that?
I am indeed passionate about horses — my dad's family had racehorses when he was a child, so he got me into riding when I was eight years old. I started taking lessons and was obsessed. I competed and rode probably five to six days a week until I was about 18. I would love to eventually own my own horses and compete again.
My parents still have horses, so it's nice to go for a trail ride every now and then. There is no better meditation for me then to go out on a trail ride through the mountains, on horseback. There is an old quote that says, "The outside of a horse is good for the inside of a man," and it really is the truth.
Tell us about your pups, too! You have a couple of dogs, right?
My husband and I have two rescue dogs we got at shelters — and they are the loves of our lives! They are two girls named Polly and Sailor. They are both little mutts with hot dog bodies and short legs. I'm a HUGE advocate for pet adoption and rescue, because there are so many incredible pets out there who need homes.
When we got together with this accomplished mezzo-soprano, Rebecca Ringle, we discovered how she handles her nerves, how her workouts impact her performance, and a multitude of ways that her age-old art form remains so relevant in modern culture.

Not only do their royal wedding invitations break tradition by acknowledging Markle’s “Ms” status, but they have also chosen against inviting any political leaders to the event. Instead, only personal friends of the couple will be inside Windsor Castle for the event on 19 May – along with 1,200 members of the public, young and old, who have shown examples of strong leadership, or particularly served their communities.
It seems that Markle’s good friend Serena Williams, though, may not be among them.
The tennis legend first met Markle met at a charity football game in 2014, and the duo have remained in touch ever since.
Indeed, in a Q&A with William posted to Markle’s lifestyle website The Tig, the soon-to-be royal dished on their friendship, saying: “We hit it off immediately, taking pictures, laughing through the flag football game we were both playing in, and chatting not about tennis or acting, but about all the good old fashioned girly stuff.
“So began our friendship […] and she quickly became a confidante I would text when I was travelling, the friend I would rally around for her tennis matches, and the down-to-earth chick I was able to grab lunch with just a couple weeks ago in Toronto.
It sounds like the #girlpower friendship to end all others – so why isn’t Williams attending the service?
Whether Williams is there in person or not, though, she fully intends to be at her best friend’s wedding in spirit – and made a point of dishing some key tried-and-tested advice to Markle.
Sound advice, in our opinion.

A real estate agent says the new owner wants to use the old beams and boards to make the new house.
NEWCASTLE — Some residents of Newcastle are fighting plans to tear down what they say may be the oldest house in Lincoln County.
The house is said to date to 1730, but has been vacant for two years.
The new owner wants to tear it down and start over.
Neighbor Mic Lebel tells WCSH-TV the house is an important part of their local history and should be saved. Lebel says some neighbors are talking about raising money to move the house and restore it.
Real estate agent Bob Whear says the house is rotted underneath and in bad shape. Whear says the new owner wants to use the old beams and boards to make the new house.
There is also concern that construction will disturb a nearby eagle’s nest.

Gilad Shalit is the most famous Israeli prisoner ever, but he likely won’t even be the only one freed this week. Far less discussed is the case of Ilan Grapel, 27, a dual American-Israeli citizen who served in the IDF and now studies law at Emory. He was detained by Egyptian authorities in June, first under charges of spying for Israel and then under ones of incitement; as yet, no indictment has been served. Then, last week, there was much action concerning him, suggesting that his situation might be tethered to Shalit’s. Over the weekend, there emerged reports that Grapel, too, is likely to be freed—following the exchange of more than 80 Egyptian nationals currently in Israeli prisons, most for illegal immigration-type offenses.
… Huh? The general assumption was that Grapel was not a spy, but rather some idealistic American kid who decided to visit Tahrir Square, foolishly lied about being a journalist, and unluckily ended up in Egyptian custody. But Israel’s willingness to trade prisoners for him—especially given that he is the United States’ responsibility, having entered Egypt with his American passport—maybe suggests otherwise? I talked to Bruce Riedel, a former intelligence hand and now senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, to get a handle on what’s going on with what is, after all, an American citizen one year older than myself.
It seems likely either that the exchange for Grapel is part of the Shalit deal, or that it is less closely linked: that the Shalit deal created a climate in which the Grapel deal could happen and also that Shalit could distract people from it—the Egyptian government is worried that its people will be angry about letting Grapel go. Which do you think it is?
I think it’s the latter. It’s an opportune moment to clean out the file system. And particularly the Egyptians want to do it because they want to continue to earn good favor with the United States and try to re-establish strong intelligence links. Our intelligence relationship was built around Omar Suleiman [former President Mubarak’s number two, now deposed]—it was very much a one-man show. This is a way they can do it and get a bunch of Egyptians free at the same time. They kind of hide it under the larger Hamas deal.
What makes now an “opportune moment” for such a deal?
I think it’s the general sense that the Arab world is in turmoil. Strike now when bird is in hand. Six months from now, who knows who’s going to be running what, and it may not be possible.
The other theory making the rounds—and it’s not really backed up by much, but still—is that Israel and the U.S. are striking these deals to put themselves in a favorable P.R. position so that they can then do something unpopular … like take military action against Iran.
There’s certainly a lot of suspicious and fishy things happening in the Iran arena, but I don’t think the Obama administration is interested in another war in the Middle East. I can’t see this president seeking another war when he’s spent much of the past two-and-a-half years to close down the two wars he inherited.
What is the significance of the fact that Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, previously head of the CIA, was in Cairo two weeks ago, and ostensibly failed (but probably did more than merely fail) to get Grapel freed?
Our blessing is useful for both sides, but especially the Egyptians, because the military wants to maintain the close relationship and would like us to avert our eyes when the Egyptian military has its occasional excess, like with the Copts. And this is money in the bank.
Finally, how do we square, on the one hand, the insistence that Grapel is not a spy with, on the other hand, Israel’s willingness to trade prisoners for him, especially given that he should be the Americans’ problem?
The simplest solution—not necessarily the right one—is he is some kind of Israeli agent, and they felt he would be much less likely to be arrested with a U.S. passport, and that assumption proved to be erroneous. I haven’t got a clue. But the simple answer would be: he was on some kind of mission, and therefore the government of Israel feels responsible to bring him home and would be willing to trade prisoners for him. It certainly will reinforce Egypt’s argument that he was an intelligence operative of the Israelis if he’s traded for 80 or so Egyptians.

On Songwriting – Carry on Beautiful!
I write a lot of songs. I have piles of finished notebooks with songs in and I think altogether I have probably written 400 songs since I was twelve when I started writing. Are they good? No, most of them are rubbish, a twelve year old wrote them. I would like to think some of the more recent ones are good though and I’ll hopefully begin uploading some to youtube and/or soundcloud for people to hear.
The thing with song writing though, for me at least, is that its incredibly personal. Each song carries a little part of myself, how I was feeling when I wrote it or how I feel over what its about as a whole. Each song I write opens a little window into my life during my most private moments and that makes it incredibly difficult for me to find the courage to record and allow people to listen to my songs.
To give you an idea of how this feels if you’ve never experienced it, imagine a time in your life when you were upset. Not the most upset you’ve ever been, just maybe someone you liked rejected you or you felt like you were losing a friend. Now, imagine every feeling you had during that time, every ugly crying face you made, every stupid thing you said, imagine all of that being made into a little audiobook for everyone in the entire world to listen to. That’s how it feels when I play my songs to people.
I pour every emotion I have into these songs and that makes it even more difficult because most human emotions are not pretty or glamorous. Real human emotions are messy, sticky and ugly which makes it hard to be willing to share those moments with other people who may not understand or respect the emotions you are expressing.
There’s also the issue of writing about specific events and boiling it down to specific people. There’s always the question of how far I can go before they stop thinking it might be about them and start to know its about them, or in the opposite event if they go from thinking its about them to realizing that although it is a love song and you are currently in a relationship, its not actually about them.
Emotions are tricky and even more so when you put your face to them like a musician does to their songs but they’re also so incredibly relatable to people. Music is so important to most people because its relatable. There’s nothing better than turning on the radio and hearing a song that sounds like its about you, so that means that although I may want to write a song about that time I moved to a different country and didn’t know anyone, most people can’t relate to that. Of course, I still write the song but even while I’m writing it I know that I’m much more likely to record a song about being in love or being jealous of someone than one no one can relate to.
That brings us to the whole ‘writing for yourself’ thing. I always write what comes to my head regardless of if I think its ‘sellable’ (AKA would be somewhat popular) or not because songwriting is for me to clear my head and settle my heard and that’s what it will always be. Do I want my music to be popular? Do I want people to like my songs? Do I want to hear a crowd of people singing along to my songs? Yes, yes and yes. Are they the most important things? No, not by a long shot.

Hiddensee: A Tale of the Once and Future Nutcracker by Gregory Maguire is a novel in which the author takes a look, from a different view point, on another beloved story. Mr. Maguire wrote several successful novels in the same vein.
The publisher is giving away 1 copy of this book – enter using the Rafflecopter form below.
I have read several of Mr. Maguire’s books, while I’m not a big a fan as others, I do enjoy a different perspective on old stories. My wife and sister really enjoy the Gregory Maguire‘s books which is another reason that I wanted to read Hiddensee: A Tale of the Once and Future Nutcracker.
The first thing I did was refamiliarize myself with the Nutcracker story. I have heard of the story before, but never knew exactly what it was about. After taking a few minutes (literally, it’s a short story) to re-read the synopsis I felt I was ready to start this book.
The writing style is simplistic, but stylish which somehow works. The story of Dirk Drosselmeier though seems to be stuck on permanent slow motion. I kept waiting for something to happen, which when it finally does we jump a few years to the future. The story mainly consists of something happens, time passes and when it gets interesting, all of the sudden it’s over.
It’s almost as if the author tried to keep the book neutral, or couldn’t decide what he wants to make out of the protagonist.
I did, however, enjoy the structure of the story, much like the old German fairytales many of us grew on. Mr. Maguire assumes that the audience has some background in those stories and uses analogies and little hints in the book. An aspect which really made the book enjoyable for me.
Even though, I wish the author would have renamed the two mischievous boys Franz and Moritz to Max and Moritz.
Maybe they were copyright issues?
in the Nutcracker story, a sickly girl named Klara is magically guided by an enchanted, carved nutcracker into a wonderful land on Christmas Eve. This is the story of Klara’s godfather, the mysterious Drosselmeier who just happened to be a toymaker who gives the Nutcracker to his goddaughter.
I’m looking forward to a new book from Gregory Maguire! Good continued success to you!

Ava will be a week old tomorrow. Life at home with her has been awesome. It's been such a big change but I think we are gradually getting used to it. The first three nights went smoothly, better than I was expecting. I thought I would be dead tired and hear alot of crying. However, Ava has been an angel baby. I'm sure it's too soon to say that because I've been assured my nights won't always be like that. I'll have my fingers crossed anyways.
On Monday, Noah and I took Ava to her first pediatrician appointment to check her bilirubin levels. When we left the hospital last Friday her levels were good but we started to notice a yellow tint to her skin a few days after coming home. I thought she might be jaundiced ( a condition common in newborns because their livers are too immature to break up bilirubin and causes skin discoloration) and it was only confirmed Monday afternoon. Treatment consists of the baby having to lay under special blue lights that will help break up the excess bilirubin. The nurse has instructed us to keep her under there as much as possible only taking her out for feedings and diaper changes. It breaks my heart because I want to hold her, kiss her, just enjoy her. I thought she would be really fussy not being swaddled and because she would be cold, but surprisingly she seems really relaxed under those lights. The nurse came to the house this morning to check on her and to take some blood to send to the lab. She called me earlier tonight and said Ava's levels were still elevated and I needed to continue the photo therapy. I hate it. I hope tonight will be her last night doing this. But she does look cute, like she's relaxing in a tanning bed, doesn't she??
