Mango Bene from Cafe Mary Grace.
One word: OHMY! This is piece of heaven in a cake slice! I wanted to buy one whole cake to take home but it needs to be frozen and refrigerated immediately so I was thinking it might melt on the way home. Id love to have my family taste it sometime. In the meantime, I need to buy silver coins for our New Year’s Eve celebration tomorrow! More sweets await me!
Spanish Sardines and Olives Pasta
Spanish sardines and a great zing to an aglio e olio (garlic and olive oil). Tomatoes and mushrooms add color and flavor
Believe it or not, it was my first time to try Cafe Mary Grace last month. My college friends and I met there over lunch and finally were able to catch up on each other’s lives – talking about family, money like cash advances, savings and credit card bills!, children, marriages, and how we have changed since motherhood came.
The holiday season is going to be over and done with when the clock strikes 12 come December 31st tomorrow. And I will be going on a strict diet afterwards. It will be the year I finally lose weight, I want to claim that! With the husband staying with us, I will now have my own fitness trainer, coach and food guard (I call him that sometimes!). I just need to put on the last finishes of address labels of the thank you cards I will be sending out and then I will start listing down everything I need to buy at the grocery tomorrow.
A few days before 2010 officially comes to a close, my husband figured in an accident and fractured his clavicle. It has set our health and wellness plans by about four weeks, since it takes a month before it really heals (fuse together). I just do not know if he can really lift weights again.
We have planned to do some jogging in an oval track near our place every morning starting next week, but since he has fractured his right clavicle, he cannot drive. (All the more reason for me to finally learn how to drive) He also cannot do any strenuous activities. He wears a brace 24 hours a day and needs physical therapy maryland to be able to regain full mobility of his shoulder again. It has only been three days since the accident happened so he is still bruised and wincing from pain but I hope he will get better in time for our trip in less than two weeks.
Thankfully, it is only a fracture and nothing else. In time, it will heal. He would not need to undergo work rehabilitation or surgery. For that alone I am so thankful already. Next time, we just need to be more careful.
We all know that occupational therapy jobs and physical therapy jobs have always been in demand. Nowadays though, due to increasing need for rehabilitation of patients and continuing care and assistance outside the hospital of both elderly people and children, physical therapist assistant jobs are as in demand as well.
What do they do?
The physical therapy assistant job is concerned with helping the patients during the rehabilitation program. The clients might be people suffering from fractures, head injuries, stroke, and burns. PTAs aid these patients regain mobility and reduce physical disabilities. To treat such conditions, physical therapy assistants are specially trained to carry out various treatment programs that include therapeutic exercises, electrical stimulation, massages, paraffin baths, ultra sound, traction and more. The primary goal of all these rehabilitation programs is to help the patients lead an independent life once again.
Along with assisting in the rehabilitation process, PTAs have to assist the patients in moving from one place to another, place orders for new medical supplies, and carry out application form filling as well as many other clerical tasks. They are also expected to note down the patient history and keep a record of it to evaluate the productivity of their treatment programs.
Vitamin supplements differ from each other based on dosages and composition. If you would like to find out which supplement is right for you, you might want to check out the following considerations.
Your daily requirement
Although there are standard recommended dosages of natural vitamins, people still differ in terms of daily requirement. This is because we differ in lifestyle, work, diet, and genes. I, for example, have a higher demand for vitamin A than others, because I have relatively poor eyesight. Some people, on the other hand, suffer from joint pain because they lack a different kind of vitamin.
In order to make sure I get my daily requirement of Vitamin A, I choose the vitamin supplement that has a high concentration of Vitamin A, or I specifically go for Vitamin A supplements.
Composition
Vitamin supplements can also vary in composition. Multivitamins, specifically, come in different combinations to address different needs. Some multivitamin supplements, for example, may contain vitamin C while others may not. Others supplements may have a high concentration of Vitamin E, while there are those that contain only traces of the said vitamin. This is usually happens when the manufacturer produces a separate product that focuses on the missing component.
Just like when you’re choosing any other bike, selecting the right foldable bike for yourself should not be left to chance. There are specific things that you should be looking for or inspecting to make sure that the bike you choose is the right one for you. Here are some of them.
Folded and unfolded dimensions
Although most folding bicycles fold and unfold the same way, they still vary in size or dimensions. In order to make sure that what you’re buying fits the available space you have in your home, determine the folded and unfolded dimensions of the bike first. It would be pointless to buy one if the bicycle would be too large for the space you have.
Weight of the frame
Unlike road bikes and triathlon bikes, folding bikes are somewhat heavy. They need to be because their frame material should be thick and strong enough like steel in order to support the weight of the bike and the rider at the hinges. So before you select a model, make sure to lift each bike to see which one you’re comfortable carrying. Remember that part of the reason you’re buying a foldable bike is because of its portability.
Price
Most foldable bikes cost more than regular hardtails, but the difference in price should be well compensated by the convenience in storage and portability of any folding bike.
The flooring of your garage is very important. This part takes all the beating from your car tires and the constant foot traffic. Leaving it plain with just concrete is not a good idea because it becomes easily susceptible to cracks and stains.
When it comes to garage floors, it is better to have flooring that will give some degree of protection to it. Below are the usual options for garage floorings.
• Epoxy. The most popular type of garage flooring is epoxy flooring. It is very durable and resistant to stains and scratches. It also makes your garage look better because it has a glossy finish. However, it tends to lose its some of its gloss and turn yellow if there is too much sunlight exposure.
• Polyurethane. Just like epoxy, polyurethane is very durable and glossy and it is even more resistant to spills. Aside from this, it does not fade easily and it does not turn yellow over time.
• Latex. This is the cheaper alternative to epoxy and polyurethane. However, exposure to sunlight is also not good for latex floors so make sure that your garage is covered. It can also make your floor a little slippery.
• Polish. Some companies can do concrete polishing instead of coating your floor with epoxy, polyurethane, or latex. This would make your concrete look more beautiful while making it more durable. Take note that polished concrete floors do not have any coating but they still offer durability and gloss.
