San Diego Defense Lawyer

As I grow old I learned to believe that not all prisoners are law breakers, some of them are not guilty of the crime they were accused of. I heard many cases that they were just misjudged and accused and there was no one good enough to defend them. Sometimes they don’t have enough money to pay for the whole lawsuit and proceedings. These cases can happen to those coming from poor families and were only given free public attorneys to defend for them. 

I know every attorney has the capacity to do his job but I’m also aware that there are attorneys who have the best abilities and professional experiences to deal with defending accused person like Kerry Steigerwalt, a leading San Diego Criminal Defense Lawyer who is highly respected by the legal community. His law firm has the experiences and resources in representing and defending clients of various criminal cases in San Diego. They handle shoplifting, capital murder, homicide, assault and many others. For two decades now they defended various clients in criminal charges and obtained the "not guilty of murder" verdict for clients in many of their cases.

Best Free WP Themes

I’ve been blogging for more than three years now using blogger but slowly my friends are turning to wordpress. They told me that it has to do with a lot of things which are important to bloggers. One friend told me that she’s concerned with ownership and branding and love the way she could install the software to the server under her owned domain name with no sub-domain structures. It’s also more secured as when blog is hacked or database is lost you can still bring back your data from your server or through your host. Well that’s part only of the advantages that I heard from them and looking through WP it has other things that I’m looking forward to like the hundreds of pinging services so you can reach the world through this pings.

I’m still with other providers because it’s really hard to switch because it would take too much of my time but I’m planning to create a new one using WP to get the best of both blog hosts. Now I’m looking at the best wordpress themes available and I love choosing among them. I can choose the most appropriate theme for my new blog. Just looking at them makes me feel more excited at starting a new wp blog. Well after starting on it I have to look at the roster of the best 10 wordpress hosting which I’ll have to decide on choosing soon because I shall need it to complete the hosting.

I’m glad that my friends are there for me to guide through using this new found host which is a little complicated than my other host. Anyway it’s worth it because now I will not only have the means to choose among the best free wordpress themes but have an access to thousands of plugins that will make my blog look more chic, professional and search engine friendly. It’s now easy to share Twitter posts, add Flickr photos and a lot more, I’m really excited.

Coffee Break at the Patio

I’ve been doing my writing assignments since lunch time and I think I deserve a break right now. It would be real good if I can have coffee at the patio. I’ll just wait for the husband to arrive so we can have a relaxing chat about what happened the whole day. It’s their school’s clearance day and also their last day for the semester. Tomorrow will be the start of their enrolment and I’m amazed how time flies and he has finished one semester already. I really believed that learning knows no age and you can reach your dream depending on your goals. 

Anyway I have to get up now and get myself my creamy coffee first and wait at the patio where I can relax my back and feet from long hours of working in my laptop. It would be nice if I can have those beautiful Patio Furniture Covers I’ve seen at Empire patio covers so I wouldn’t be tired from cleaning all the dirt caused by dust. I’ve noticed that the walnut finish was becoming pale too because the sun’s heat is so intense these days.

I really need to list down all the things needed for the patio as in the long run it would be more economical to have Patio Chair Covers and Patio Table Covers to protect them from early fading, wear and tear. Our outdoor furniture would last longer if they have protective coverings like those I’ve seen at Empire patio covers site because they have durable, stylish and very affordable covers for the patio furniture like chaise lounge, chairs, tables, grill, fire pit and a lot more. They also guarantee their products with 1 year warranty for classic material furniture and 2 years for the signature materials. Now I have few minutes left before the husband arrives.

Iron Deficiency in Children

I remember a school seminar for the parents last July which was hosted by a haematologist doctor. She talked about the importance of Iron in our body and what will happen if there’s iron deficiency in our children. She summarized that Filipino way of eating are susceptible to deficiency because we tend to eat more ice and vegetables which are low in iron unlike Americans who eat more proteins. 

Anyway she suggested great ideas on bringing up our children in such a way that they will strong and healthy. Of course they should get rid of vices like alcohol and Black and Mild, sleeping so late at night, imbalance of food nutrition intake and many more. Children should also be brought up with faith in God because that’s the real key in living. They should be healthy in mind, body and spirit. If one lack one of the most important things mentioned that’s when sickness will come to you.

Fashionable Medical Scrubs

When we were at the hospital last month and stayed there for almost one day I’ve observed that healthcare staff is really nice to look at. They have the clean clinical look that fits their profession. I always love seeing nurses in their spotless medical nursing uniforms that they seem to maintain very clean all day long. I’ve noticed that uniforms now are becoming trendy and fashionable these days because I’ve seen some of the scrub’s classic designs worn by men are in multiple colors unlike the previous years when they wear white uniforms only. Sometimes you’ll turn your heads over them because they look great.

It’s really a big difference now with the last decades of bringing through hospital uniforms because blue sky scrubs offers innovative scrub designs for all staff in the healthcare profession. Now you’ll see chic scrub hats and caps on female nurses on the operating room. With my experience being on the operating room three times on my caesarean operations it’s surely a delight to see chic professional attending you. Their pony, pixie and poppy hat collections are some of the trendiest and fashionable accessories they have.

My niece who is an intern nurse already has discovered where she can buy medical scrubs online and she feels good about wearing them because it fits great on her and its becoming to her look. That’s what blue sky scrubs provide, their medical scrubs are chic, high quality, stylish yet has the professional look of the nurses. You can also choose from their variety of colors like ceil blue, navy blue, royal blue and some others. Visit them now and see their trendy scrubs, scrub hats, accessories and medical coats.

PH: Stripes - Zebra

This was taken in Manila Zoo 2 years ago when Josh was only 5 years old.  It was my girls' educational tour and my little boy joined in. It was his first field trip and he's very excited to see all the animals in the zoo.  Just look at his eyes and sheepish smile.  He's very young here and all their stop overs overwhelmed him.  He was so amazed at the stripes skin of zebra, he thought it was painted on the body and not a natural one  hmmm the innocence of toddlers :-)

Sleeping Early Tonight

I’ll be resting early tonight because we’re going to be at the contest as early as 6:00 in the morning. No worrying about finding the best acne products for my teen daughter because she’s not allowed to sleep late in the night. We told her that it can cause her to have acne so she’s trying to sleep earlier than usual. Anyway I didn’t have problem with acne or pimples when I was her age but she’s our eldest and she might possibly get it from his father’s genes. DH is free from scars of acne too but he told me that during his teens he also experienced having minor pimple problems.

Managed Hosting

I’ve been enjoying having domain sites for about three years now and I’m glad my friend introduced me to it. It’s more flexible and there are more benefits than having free-hosted blogs. It’s like a company with very reliable managed hosting because you’ll get the full service performance and round the clock monitoring. I’ve been employed with a company with such a high tech equipment and gadgets and I know how nice and easy to work if your office has the latest innovations in town. Not only that because if the company you’re working for gets the best hosting you’ll have there are few interruptions online.
