Office Closed Wednesday

Hi ,

After a month of waiting for SMUD to approve the electrical panel change they have finally come through. They are supposed to shut off our power at 8am today and rain permitting we will be getting our new electrical panels. Once these are in place we can move forward with putting new stucco on the front of the building.

Unfortunately with no power we will have no phone service today. With fingers crossed we will hear from you tomorow for any office needs.

Thanks,

David

Cucumber Avocado Macadamia Nut Dressing

Nothing sets off a nice summer salad like a delicious creamy dressing. I know there are purists out there that think a salad should only be sprinkled with exotic virgin first press olive oil and a fancy wine vinegar or possibly simple lemon juice. But I am not one of those people. I grew up loving thousand island and creamy buttermilk ranch dressing. Just my clay feet showing up here I guess. Now I don't choose to use mayonnaise, ketchup, milk, or any of the other ingredients of those glorious dressings of the past, so I have to get creative.

Today Ellen says to me "Lets do a salad for lunch. What type of dressing can you use?" I checked the refrigerator and found nothing so I decided to invent a dressing for the occasion. Using the basic concept of oil and vinegar as the basis of any dressing I improvised. I had half an avocado, which I figured would add oil and creaminess. I tossed this into the blender along with some avocado oil and some plum flavored vinegar. There was a bag of raw macadamia nuts on the counter so I added a small handful of those to the mix. Then looking around the kitchen I spied one of those shrink-wrapped English cucumbers in the hanging fruit basket that was now several days old. Why not? I peeled that puppy and chopped it up and threw it into the blender as well. A few spices and a minute of blending and BAM - a new favorite dressing is born.

How to find us -

Our address is 9725 Fair Oaks Blvd.

Finding the new location is very easy. Coming from highway 50 up Sunrise Blvd, you turn left and go up a block. We are on the right hand side - the building just past the Subway Sandwich shop. If you are coming down Sunrise from the Mall area then just turn right on Fair Oaks Blvd and up a block on the right.

If you are coming from the Roseville area you could come down Sunrise Blvd, but that is a long trek. It is probably shorter time wise to come down Auburn Blvd - San Juan Ave like you have been for the Sunset office, but instead of turning left at Sunset, keep going straight 3 more lights to Fair Oaks Blvd and turn left. Go down 2 lights to New York Ave, go through the intersection, and immediately turn into the turn lane once the center divider ends. We are on the left.

Tactical Breathing Can Stop Stress on the Spot

How do you quell stress induced fear in order to handle a crisis? Firefighters, police, and military are now using an ages old yoga breathing technique to do just that. Sometimes called combat breathing or square breathing, it can calm down those feelings of panic right now so you can deal with what is going on. Simply taught, it is slowly inhaling for a count of four seconds, holding your breath for four seconds, exhaling slowly for four seconds, and again holding your breath for four seconds. Repeat this cycle until calm.

Vitamin B May Protect Against Alzheimer's

It is estimated that within 20 years 1 in 4 Americans will get Alzheimer's. What can you do now to prevent this? Significant reductions in risk are associated with getting higher levels of the B vitamins - particularly B6, B12, and folate. These B vitamins reduce levels of a dangerous amino acid called homocysteine that causes the brain to shrink. Getting enough B vitamin has been shown to reduce brain shrinkage by as much as seven fold in the brain areas related to Alzheimer's. This article discuses a complete Anti-Alzheimer's lifestyle.

Why Finnish babies sleep in cardboard boxes

For the last 75 years Finnish expectant mothers have been given a new baby starter kit by the government that has been credited with Finland now having one of the lowest infant mortality rates in the world (much lower than ours.) The cardboard box has everything a new mother needs, and the box itself has a mattress in the bottom to serve as the baby's first bed.
