Calgary Real Estate site review

Recently I was contacted by The Cliff Stevenson Group of Calgary Real Estate for a site review and to give my over all opinion. Well what they didnt know is that my sister just so happens to be on the market for a new house.  So I thought "hey lets check out this site to see what they have." So we went to http://www.cliffstevenson.com and checked it out. I being a pro/am web designer have to say that I found the page nicely laid out with a real intuitive navigation system. I loved the fact that he offered so many Buyer/Seller services. The group also shows their current listings right on the front page, as well as links to the blog and YouTube channel. Which I honestly dont know why would offer a blog, unless they have first time buyer tips, or property watches, etc. But hey it is another way to engage with the potential client.

Anyways I must say that I do like the fact that their navigation was so easy to use, and that everything was straight forward and concise.  I hate when websites lose focus of people who may be first time users or bury their content and actual helpful related articles of information that you are looking for.

So over all I must say that I love the page, and the services that this group offers. I would feel confident that they would and could help anyone find a property that they were looking for, and take their services above and beyond, as any business should.

Glooko Rolling out new Bluetooth Connected Device

Glooko has been on the cutting edge of Diabetic technology since day one. They have set the bar and now others are frantically trying to follow in their blazing foot steps.
Recently Glooko sent me their MeterSync Blue, which is a meter connecting device that allows you to upload your meter readings via Bluetooth.

Having worked with Glooko in the Past I was excited to be able to test out the MeterSync Blue. I opened up my Glooko App and began syncing my meter.



As you can see from my glucose results my sugars run high. But I was really impressed with how quickly it synced. I have used the other cables that Glooko had come out with, but really like the fact that all you have to do is plug in your meter, push the button on the MeterSync Blue and all your info goes directly to your phone or Android/iOS device.

[caption id="attachment_3079" align="alignleft" width="140"] Original Android Glooko Sync[/caption]

[caption id="attachment_3081" align="alignright" width="216"] New Glooko MeterSync Blue[/caption]

I am still not to thrilled about it being a 3 piece system like the Android version. I would have liked to see it be a more cohesive 2 piece system, that would closely resemble the iPhone sync cable system that is all one cord.

[caption id="attachment_3080" align="alignright" width="163"] iPhone Glooko Sync cable. Notice its all one piece.[/caption]

With it being a 3 piece system it seems like there is more room for you to lose some of the items you need in order to properly test. Another thing that you will notice between the MeterSync Blue and the original Android Sync cable is that they did away with the 3.5mm jack that you would have allowed you to plug the device directly into the meter and transmit that way. Had they kept the 3.5mm plug they could have just shipped the 2.5mm adapter that would have made it a 2 piece system and would save the company on production and shipping costs, and would have eliminated the need for the 3.5mm cord. However, that being said I must say that this is by far my most favorite of all the Glooko products. Being a fan of Bluetooth I love anything that can sync up using it.

My over all rating of the MeterSync Blue is 9.5 out of 10. Had they kept the 3.5mm plug and or made the additional 3.5mm cord part of the system and not a separate detachable I would have given it a 10. The MeterSync Blue is not yet available for purchase but you can click here  to be notified when it becomes available for public purchase.

Testing new E-Juice from Vampire Vape and EShish

I just received some new Vape in the mail yesterday and I must say Im pretty impressed with these guys. My two E-Cigarette Juices came from Vape Club. I got Vampire Vape - Bat Juice, and EShish Strawberry and White Chocolate.

Vampire Vape - Bat Juice is a really fun and extra fruity blend that is very sweet and extremely smooth and produces a nice cloud.  Unlike most 60/40 blends the Propylene Glycol blend in this particular juice doesnt hurt your throat when you hit it. It leave a wondrous aftertaste an feels like it almost freshens your breath. It is very much a treat almost like a desert. I have the 0mg Nicotine one so I can not speak for the stronger Nicotine ones but I do really recommend this one if you like a sweet fruity blend.



The EShish - Strawberry and White Chocolate is a really aromatic and mildly sweet tasting e-juice. When you smell the bottle you can get the bold smell of the strawberry with a faint creamy hint of the white chocolate. But when you combine them to be vaped it comes out in a Strawberry Pop Tart flavor. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Pop Tart's they are a pastry/biscuit that you cook in a toaster or you can eat raw.  It has a really nice throat hit that is nice and leaves a really nice after taste. It is not as sweet as the Vampire Vape - Bat Juice, but it is a really nice overall flavor. This one that I have is a 3mg Nicotine 80/20 blend. I can taste the nicotine in it as a very minimal note, but everything blends together really well. The cloud that it produces is nice and thick but in my opinion not as 'grand' as the Vampire Vape, I think that if reformulated with maybe less Propylene Glycol it might make it spot on.

Over all these two flavor profiles are really good. But for my personal choice I would have to go with Vampire Vape - Bat Juice. I like the super fruity profile of it. How it feels when inhaled and exhaled, and the sweetness/dessert like quality of it. The EShish is a really nice one that would be well paired if you happen to be drinking brandy or some other bold alcohol, or if you wanted something that wasnt to sweet but still had a nice candy like taste to it.

Tips to Minimize Occurrence of Stretch Marks During and After Pregnancy

Stretch marks during and after pregnancy are inevitable. It occurs as a result of the stretching of the skin up to its limits. As the skin tends to stretch to house the growing fetus, the collagen fibers tend to compensate to bring skin together. This is the reason why there are white streaks around the mother’s tummy. This does not only happen to mothers but to those who have suffered from a drastic change in weight. While this seems to be a big problem to a lot of people, there are actually things that one can do to be able to get rid of the scars it leaves.

One of the secrets in order to hasten the process of healing is hydration. Hydration is important in order to clean the body from toxins that may come interfering with the process of healing. Hydration is also important to keep the tissues intact and not dried out.

Moisturize skin. Moisturizers will help prevent itching and drying caused by the stretching of collagenous material. As the skin is moisturized, it will avoid inflicting harm on the skin brought by stretching. There are creams available in the market that can be bought with prescription or over the counter. But before this, one should consult on a physician in order to find the cream that will suit your needs. Consultation is important in order to get rid of the possible existence of allergies brought by some ingredients comprising the cream.

Diet does not always go out of style. Most of the health problems existing can be controlled with the use of proper diet. Controlling the effects of stretch marks is one. Vegetables and fruits for instance helps the body get the needed amount of nutrients to function. This is a proven fact but it goes with a bonus too. These foods tend to let you have softer and moisturized skin which is great news to combat the effects of drying brought by stretch marks. Once the skin is softer, marks may come limited.

If diet is one of the vital things to consider, exercise goes to follow. Exercise, just like proper diet has never grown out of the spotlight. It has always brought myriad of benefits in the aspect of health. It is also linked with the reduction stretch marks. As one goes with exercise, the skin is tightened and toned. Once this happens, the skin easily comes back to its original form which means reducing the visible marks. This is also beneficial to help the uterus come back to its non-pregnant state after the pregnancy. This does not stop only once you achieve the form you have always wanted. Exercising regularly will help you tone your muscles, strengthening it to resist the effects of tearing.

Load yourself with vitamins. Vitamins specifically A, E and C are perfect for the skin. These vitamins have anti-toxin properties which wash away the toxins brought by the foods, beverages and drugs taken in. Once these toxins are completely washed away, it will reveal healthy skin. Once you have got the skin that is healthy, it will be easy for it to resist the effects of stretch marks and that the effects will be minimized. Even the feeling of itchiness will be controlled as you have the best defenses to achieve such.

Proper diet coupled with exercise should be enough in order to minimize the effects of stretch marks. If you come to observe it, it will just boil down to the idea of living a healthy life. You can never really go wrong over living the healthy life as it tends to direct you to becoming an individual resistant to health problems.

For an expectant mother, there are a lot of things to do to be able to finally get rid of the effects of stretch marks. Yet, for those who have already acquired such, it is never the end. Consult your doctor to know what you can do to get rid of it. You might be prescribed with creams safe enough to use during the pregnancy. All you have got to do is to relay your worries. Having stretch marks during and after pregnancy may come to shake you but these are controllable. And don’t forget to follow special diet, read some helpful recipes.

Naturally, the body reacts to the sudden change in the size of a person. You may think of it as a problem but stretch marks are just the effect of the natural mechanism of the body to resist tearing of skin when it has reached the limit. This is actually an indication that your body is working its functions well enough. But since its appearance is bothersome, you would naturally get rid of it. Living the healthy life would help well enough to combat the not so good effects of this naturally occurring body process.

Before I Die–post taken from candychang.com

What is important to you 2011-present

It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day and forget what really matters to you. When I lost someone I loved very much, I thought about death a lot. This helped clarify my life, the people I want to be with, and the things I want to do, but I struggled to maintain perspective. I wanted to know what was important to the people around me and I wanted a daily reminder. So with help from old and new friends, I painted the side of an abandoned house in my neighborhood in New Orleans with chalkboard paint and stenciled it with the sentence “Before I die I want to _______.” so anyone walking by can pick up a piece of chalk, reflect on their lives, and share their personal aspirations in public space.

It was all an experiment and I didn’t know what to expect. By the next day the wall was entirely filled out and it kept growing. Before I die I want to… sing for millions, see my daughter graduate, eat all the candy and sushi in the world, straddle the International Date Line, be someone’s cavalry, live off the grid, build a school, hold her one more time, abandon all insecurities, be completely myself…  People’s responses made me laugh out loud, tear up, and feel consolation during my own tough times. The wall transformed a neglected space into a constructive one. It helped us understand our neighbors in new and enlightening ways. It showed us we are not alone. It provided a contemplative space to restore perspective and remember why we want to be alive in the world today.

I created the original wall in February of 2011 and after receiving hundreds of requests, my Civic Center colleagues and I created a Before I Die toolkit and the project site beforeidie.cc to help people make a wall with their community. You can also download all files for free to remix or create your own stencils. Thanks to passionate people, over 50 Before I Die walls have been created in over 10 languages and in over 20 countries, including Kazakhstan, South Africa, Portugal, Japan, and Argentina. Each wall is unique and reflects the people of that community and each wall is a tribute to living an examined life. The project shows you don’t need a big budget to make a big impact. It also pushes the boundaries of what our public spaces are fundamentally made of. With more ways to share our hopes, fears, and stories in public space, the people around us can not only help us make better places, they can help us lead better lives.

Kristina Kassem Once the wall was filled to the max or looking janky, we washed it down and started over again.

Update Sept 22, 2011: After seven months, the first wall comes to a happy end: the house will be turned into a home again thanks to new owners. We painted over the wall and stenciled one last thing – something Wendell Pierce said a few months ago that has stayed with Candy since: “Our thoughts are to the individual as our art is to the community.” It was ready to go but from the ashes come more.

Update Sept 22, 2011: After receiving many requests, we created a Before I Die toolkit to help people make a wall with their community! It includes a one-column stencil made of thick mylar so it’s easy to hang rigid against a wall. It also includes a title stencil, a guide, metal chalk holders, gloves, and chalk. All files are also available for free download if you’d like to create your own stencils.

“Death can inspire life. Especially in New Orleans, on the corner of Marigny and Burgundy, where the Before I Die project has used the specter of urban decay and death to create art and inspire. Using a boarded up house as a canvas, artist Candy Chang transformed a haunting reminder of blight and divestment into a powerful affirmation of human life and imagination.” – Life and Times
