What is Fibromyalgia Syndrome?

QUESTION: I've been to dozens of doctors with this never relenting problem of aches and pains.
It seemed as no one believed me or knew what I was talking about.
Finally one physician told me I had FS, but was less than hopeful. What can you tell me about fibromyalgia syndrome?

ANSWER: Fibromyalgia syndrome (FS), also called fibrositis, is a common but often unrecognized form of rheumatism of unknown cause, characterized by diffuse aches, pain and stiffness.
Patients are often tired, emotionally distressed or depressed, and may have light, restless sleep, headaches, and other chronic complaints. Although millions of patients have FS, it remains a relatively little known and poorly understood disorder.
It occurs about ten times more often in women than in men, and the age at diagnosis is usually between 35 and 60 years. Because the symptoms of FS are similar to rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and tuberculosis, and a patient can have one of these problems as well as FS, confusion can arise as to what the patient is suffering from and how to treat it.
Diagnosis relies upon laboratory tests to rule out other problems. Among symptoms your doctor will look for are chronic aching; feeling tired when you wake up; a pattern of stiffness and fatigue in the morning; and tenderness in a dozen or more specific sites.
These symptoms will have been going on for months, and you may notice that they get worse with certain types of weather, activity, and stress. It is important for the patient and family to become actively involved in the treatment of FS.
No single "miracle drug" cures FS, and the approach varies with each patient.
Although FS is not a form of arthritis, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which are used for arthritis, are also effective for some FS patients.
Tricyclic antidepressants at bedtime may help patients sleep better and may also relax muscles. Changing your lifestyle to reduce stress and set aside time for relaxation and recreation is advisable, and a psychologist can help you to do this.
Physical therapy, such as massage, acupressure, ultrasound can be helpful in combination with medication therapy. Often, relief can also be provided by warm and dry (rather than cold or humid) weather; hot showers; moderate activity rather than either overexertion or a sedentary lifestyle; and rest.
It's amazing how much better you may feel after an energetic walk that has not exceeded your abilities or pain threshold. In cases that do not respond to these methods, the doctor may inject local anesthetic into particularly tender muscles. It is essential that you, your family, and your doctor all recognize that FS is a real problem not just something in the patient's mind and, although it is a cause for concern, it is not a reason for undue alarm or worry.
FS does not kill or cripple, but it can cause pain that can be intense at times. The therapy for FS is an evolving one, and more and more doctors now recognize the syndrome, and diagnose it correctly.
Stick with the doctor who seems to have a handle on your case.
Fortunately, there are good treatment strategies available that can help people with FS.

What Could Cause Terrible Hip Pains?

QUESTION: Please help.
I am a senior, senior citizen, and can't always afford medical care all the time.
Perhaps you can diagnose my problem.
What could cause terrible pains in my hip?

ANSWER: For one of the most difficult of all diagnosis to make, you have provided me with far too little information.
There are many causes of "terrible" pains in the hips and, unfortunately, many of them mimic each other.
That made it difficult for doctors to diagnose exact cause of those pains in the past. Even with modern technology, accurate diagnoses still rely upon careful examination and observation by your physician.
X-rays are helpful but many causes relate to the soft tissues which surround your hip joint.
All possibilities must be considered carefully when searching for the cause of your pain. Before we discuss some of the possible origins of your pain, here's a quick description of the hip itself.
It is the only true ball and socket joint in the human body and, except for the knee, is the largest joint.
It is a major source of symptoms of pains in several parts of the body including the back, legs and buttocks.
When you take a step or rise from a sitting position, a force of 2.5 to 3 times the weight of the body is exerted to the weight-bearing dome of the hip.
So, our hips take a "beating" as we live long lives. Arthritis is immediately suspected when a patient goes to a doctor complaining of pain in the hip area.
But there are many clinical conditions that can affect, or be affected by, the hip that do not stem from arthritis. Nevertheless, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis cause more than 90 percent of such diagnoses. The most common causes of hip pain after a fall or some other trauma are fractures.
Next in frequency are synovitis, necrosis (death of cells in the lining of joints), and avascular necrosis (death of cells caused by a deficiency of blood supply). Occult (difficult to see) fractures most frequently occur in elderly patients with osteoporosis.
They are more common in women than they are in men and usually follow a rather minor fall.
Avascular necrosis happens in all ages and may result from huge corticosteroid intake, excessive alcohol consumption, drugs that cause the immune system to become weakened, trauma, and sickle cell anemia.
There are, of course, other less frequently occurring reasons for hip pain such as untreated congenital dislocation of the hip, metabolic hormonal conditions in children, and other less well understood conditions. There are three major conditions that mimic hip disease.
These include pain caused by pressure on nerve roots, trochanteric bursitis (affects the upper part of the hip bone), and vascular insufficiency. Hip disease treatments usually are conservative, using medication to reduce the pain symptom for as long as patients can tolerate the discomfort and inconvenience.
Using a cane can help relieve some of the pressure from your hip and reduce the pain. Though I would love to be a "miracle doctor" for you and my many other readers, it simply can't be done by answering a question in this column.
In cases such as yours, only the careful examination by a caring physician can start you on the road to relief.

What Causes Cauliflower Ears?

QUESTION: They make us wear ear guards on the wrestling team to protect against cauliflower ears, but I was never quite sure how the condition developed.
Would you please explain?

ANSWER: Keep those protectors on, a cauliflower ear is not the most attractive sight in the world.
The structure of the ear is formed by cartilage, which gives it flexibility and shape.
Covering this is a tissue which carries blood to the cartilage called the perichondrium.
When a forceful blow strikes the ear, the blood vessels can rupture, bleed, and form a clot, which can turn the ear into a swollen, shapeless reddish purple mass. If allowed to remain untreated, the clot becomes a thick scar and may eventually become hard as it is slowly transformed into bone-like material by deposits of calcium.
A few such masses, and you have a cauliflower ear. Proper treatment requires removal of the blood clot using suction drainage through a cut in the skin.

What Causes Fluid in the Abdomen?

QUESTION: This poor guy at the club has to have three pairs of pants, since he keeps developing fluid in his belly, and needs larger and larger pants. When the doctors take the fluid out, he can get back into small pants.
What causes fluid in the abdomen?

ANSWER: Ascites, or the presence of fluid in the abdominal cavity, is a telltale sign of disease and its exact cause must be identified before appropriate treatment measures can be taken.
The accumulation of fluid can result from a variety of conditions, though nearly 75% of the cases seen are related to cirrhosis of the liver.
Cancer and cardiac failure can also cause the condition, as can tuberculosis, and pancreatic and kidney disease. Normally, the abdominal cavity contains less than 50 ml of fluid, so large amounts of fluid can be easily detected when a patient's abdomen becomes tense and distended.
The patient may also experience abdominal pain and fever.
However, the clinical situation does not always lend itself to easy diagnosis, and due to the potential seriousness of the condition, it is necessary to analyze the fluid so that proper treatment can be started. Paracentesis, a technique used to withdraw fluid from the abdominal cavity, is the current diagnostic approach, and with recent advances in ascitic fluid analysis, it is now possible to tell which disease is causing the fluid to build up.
Such advances have made diagnosis and management of ascites easier than it has ever been in the past.

Will Personal Blood Pressure Notes Help Your Doctor?

QUESTION: I take my blood pressure at home every day.
I do it religiously, and keep careful notes.
It takes time and I wondered if it was worth it.
Is this information helpful for my doctor?

ANSWER: If you are taking your blood pressure yourself, you probably have noticed that it varies considerably with your physical activity, your emotions, your diet, and by factors that you can't put your finger on.
This is normal; your blood pressure is a dynamic force, one that rises and falls in response to the changing circumstances of your day and your body's reaction to them.
You can see that taking your blood pressure only occasionally gives readings that may not reflect the true picture.
If these occasional readings are taken only in the doctor's office, they may be even more inaccurate because many of us are a bit uneasy there. If you and your doctor agree that your home blood pressure monitoring equipment is accurate and that you use it correctly, your home readings will be helpful in getting an accurate picture of your blood pressure.
Ask your physician to check your equipment against the equipment in his office, and always take it in to the office with you, so it can be rechecked. Some physicians are using "24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitors" to automatically check blood pressures at regular intervals for a 24-hour period. These monitors are not yet widely used, but they are becoming more common. Blood pressure should be controlled so that your body's organs aren't damaged by high pressure.
Blood vessels in your kidneys, your brain, your heart and your eyes are just some of the vessels that are particularly sensitive to high pressure.
Any method you have of learning more about your blood pressure will be helpful to you and your physician.

How to Get Free Advertising

Free advertising works. And it's not just for companies that have a limited budget. Any size company can benefit from free advertising. Here are 11 ideas on how to advertise for free.

1. Place copies of extra flyers on bulletin boards in your community – any place that has a bulletin board. You can hang them in Laundromats, supermarkets, local businesses, banks. Many schools have bulletin boards, but you need to ask to hang your flyer in schools.

2. Place flyers on cars in parking lots. Check that your city doesn't have any kind of ordinance against this.

3. Write articles for free. By writing articles for Web sites or industry publications for free, many publishers will give you a byline, or a credit line, along with the article. You can use this byline to advertise your business and give out your Web address. An example: "By Joe Schmoe. Schmoe is the president of XYZ, a blah blah company. Visit blahblah.com."
Another way to use writing free articles is negotiating free ad space in place of payment for your article.

4. Leave sales brochures or flyers on doorsteps. Leave them with businesses as well as residences.

5. If you have a great ad that you run in the paper that's one to two inches in size, you can easily make this into a stamp. Once you do that, stamp all the envelopes of your outgoing mail.

6. If you use envelopes that have your return address printed on them, have the printer also print your slogan or a short ad beneath your address. Many color printing shops won't charge extra for this.

7. You can negotiate some free ad space with some publishers by offering to mail their catalog or newsletter to your mailing list. You don't have to give up your contacts, and this can become an ongoing free marketing campaign.

8. Free newspaper ads. If you live in a small town, your local newspaper might have space left over they need to fill. Newspapers don't use white space, which means they have to fill each page with either a story or an ad. Small newspapers might run your ad for free on the days they need the content.

9. If you use a postage meter machine, you can customize the space to the left of the stamp imprint to display your slogan or some other short ad.

10. If you have an e-newsletter, mail order catalog or anything else that could contain advertisements, contact other businesses that complement yours that have their own print materials with ad space. If both businesses have similar circulation numbers, many companies will exchange an equal amount of ad space with you.

11. Use advertising specials to your advantage. Some publishers will offer ad space at a two-for-the-price-of-one rate. Although technically this isn't free, you are getting one ad free. You could ask for or look for a buy-one-month-get-one-month free ad rate.

Let's Talk About Hummer Limos

The Hummer limousine. To describe it simply, it is a social hall on wheels.


The original Hummer was developed by the United States Army for military purposes. With its wide, stable base and sturdy outer shell, it has been and still is a very popular vehicle for all-terrain use.


In the early 1990s, Hummers finally began to be designed and offered to civilians.


Eventually, from the original Hummer was designed its classier brother, the Hummer limousine. Like all other non-military Hummers, the Hummer limousine is manufactured by South End Industries' AM General Corporation.


Modified from the Hummer H2 model, the Hummer limousine has the Hummer H2's front side and back end. And then, its makers put an additional 15 feet of leg room in between. This makes the Hummer limousine up to 38 feet long, compared to the 23-feet-long Hummer H2 standard version.


In addition to the extra 15 feet of floor length, the Hummer limousine's roof has also been raised six inches higher than the standard Hummer H2, to make the interior even more comfortable for its passengers.


Best of all, despite the luxurious appearance, the Hummer limousine is still essentially a Hummer vehicle, with the completely reliable, no-nonsense Humvee 6-liter V8 engine found in all Hummer H2 vehicles. In addition, it also has an additional alternator to power up any extra electrical appliances you may wish to plug into the car. And because of all the extra weight it expects to carry, it is also fitted with wider tires than those used by the standard Hummer H2 car.


All these features - the vehicle's solid stability, its extra alternator and its strong engine power, plus the generous interior space - make the Hummer limousine an ideal vehicle to rent for corporate events, post-prom night gatherings, spring break blowouts, bachelor parties, bridal showers, weddings, romantic honeymoons, etc.


When you do decide to rent a Hummer limousine, make sure you inform the rental company how many people you expect to fit inside it, so they can help you choose the best sized vehicle for your needs. The biggest Hummer limousines can fit up to 24 passengers, maybe even more.


The usual Hummer limousine's interior is normally equipped with tinted windows, classic and luxurious black leather seats, climate control, CD and DVD players, interior mood lighting, a privacy screen, and a flat-screen television. Many Hummer limousines also have ice chests, champagne wells, champagne glasses and, of course, high-quality champagne.


In addition to its existing features, a rented Hummer limousine can also be fitted out with almost anything you like to suit your special occasion. With such spacious interiors, you could dress up the inside of a Hummer limousine with extra speakers and sub woofers, revolving colored lights and mirror reflectors, a fog machine and a fully-stocked liquor bar, and you will practically have a night club on wheels. For a more sentimental occasion, you could decorate it with roses, play romantic music, and have a small dinner setting for two. Or, for something really intimate, you could rent a Hummer limousine with a jacuzzi, mirrored ceilings and an artificial fireplace.


No matter what you want your Hummer limousine to be, it will accommodate you. So let your creativity run free. The Hummer limousine is big and strong enough to carry your imagination wherever it wants to go.

Asbestos in buildings and homes

A lot of people are worried about asbestos, but what they do not realize is that undisturbed asbestos usually poses little or no problems. On the other hand, everything should be done to prevent the release of asbestos fibres as they can cause serious damage to your health, especially to your lungs and be the cause of cancers. That is why asbestos surveys or asbestos removal should be done as soon as you find out that there is asbestos somewhere. It is usually very difficult to see whether there is asbestos or not in a building or a home and that is why if you are not sure or have doubts, you should contact a company that will carry out asbestos surveys to find out more. It is important to know though that if you think that you are living in a house with asbestos there is no need to panic. As long as asbestos is not damaged or disturbed, it is safe. That is why you should never do any type of work on asbestos materials like sawing it or drilling it. The best thing to do is to contact specialists that will advise you of what to do and if an asbestos survey is necessary or if you need asbestos removal straight away. As asbestos was commonly used between the fifties and the eighties, you will be most likely to find some in places like rainwater fall pipes, fire blankets, garage and shed roofs or even in floor tiles. Interestingly, most people are exposed to a very low amount of asbestos that is present in the atmosphere but this as no effects of their health. This is completely normal since asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral. On the other hand, asbestos fibres and dust are pretty dangerous if inhaled over a certain period of time and in higher concentrations. This inhalation can even cause lung diseases like cancer for example. People really need to be aware of the danger of asbestos since it is the greatest single cause of deaths at work in the United Kingdom, and that is why asbestos awareness training are being done more and more in companies and that asbestos surveyors inspect many building to do asbestos surveys and find out whether the buildings we are working in are safe or not. Asbestos related diseases are responsible in the United Kingdom of around four thousand deaths every year.

Should I Purchase a Home when the Bottom is Falling Out of the Housing Market?

Times are scary right now, it's virtually impossible to turn on the TV without hearing about how housing prices are dropping at an alarming rate. Unfortunately, because of the influences south of the border our housing market is suffering. Add to that the instability in the stock market and the rapid decline of the loonie, people are running scared. Let's face it, all you have to do is turn on the news right now to feel as though it's the end of the world. In the United States, the vulnerable mortgage market has led to record high foreclosures and has caused the house values to plummet. People have literally walked away from their homes and handed the keys to the bank. So why does this affect the house values? Well the answer is simple, the banks are selling off their foreclosed houses at extremely low prices to try to recover some of their financial loses. If you add to that the fact that investors are now more cautious about investing in mortgage loans, the result is that it is much more difficult to get a mortgage loan when you purchase a home. Many Canadians are hesitant right now to purchase a home in this volatile market. If you find that you are one of these people you should rest a little easier to know that Canada has one of the strongest real estate markets in the world, and one of the best systems of banking in the world. The banks in Canada have always been more conservative about their lending practices, while the banks in the US had completely opposite practices. It's quite normal in the real estate market for there to be ups and downs, in Canada in 1989, we saw one of the worst real estate crises but the market rebounded. If you asked anyone who owned a house that year it was much worse than it is right now. People signed on to mortgages at a 5% interest rate and when it came time to renew that mortgage their interest rates went up over 20% more than doubling their mortgage payments. At that time, many people lost their homes because they couldn't afford to make their payments. The point is that since that time the market has not only rebounded but has been booming, and this market is simply the cyclical slow down that is inevitable. In fact, many people would consider this a great time to purchase a home. There are so many houses for sale on the market right now it's definitely a buyer's market. You can purchase a home right now at a good price and benefit later when the market recovers, this is a great investment for first time homebuyers. More importantly, purchasing a home in this market provides a good opportunity for first time homebuyers to start building equity in a home. If you are a first time homebuyer you shouldn't expect too great a deal, it is expected that most of the price appreciation over the past few years should still remain intact in most of the eastern provinces, with the exception of major metropolitan areas like Toronto. The home prices in the western provinces however are expected to see a significant decrease in value. The point of this article is to remind Canadians that the market is always going to have its ups and its downs but no one really knows for sure what tomorrow will bring. The one certainty I can offer however is that the market will not stay the same and it's not the end of the world!

The Excitement in Skating Leicester on Ice

When you have the opportunity to go skating at the Leicester on Ice you will find true excitement in skating Leicester. The ice skating rink is located near shopping and is convenient to get to. An individual can get to the rink by car, bus, train, and even by walking.

Everything about the skating at the Leicester on Ice is unique; this is because the ice-skating you do is outdoors. So, it would be a good idea to bundle up and be warm because it is going to be a bit nippy on the ice.

For those visitors who want to visit more than once in a season, a loyalty card can be purchased. This is actually a special card in the sense that it allows you to have the loyalty card stamped each time you purchase a normal session. Then, after the card is stamped completely you get a session at absolutely no cost to you! How great is that?

There is only one day during the winter season that the skating Leicester on Ice isnвt open and this is Christmas Day, unless there is really bad weather in such cases the ice skating rink isnвt able to operate.

It is essentially a memorable experience for everyone who visits. And, in many circumstances the visitors return. Ice skating has never been better in the outdoors and the only thing missing is you!

The Safest Way to Buy Loose Diamonds

When buying loose diamonds, it is very important that you yourself know how to judge a real diamond from a fake diamond. You must also know how to gauge the different types of diamonds so that you wind up buying loose diamonds that are of the highest quality that you can get for the price you pay. And that means knowing the 4 C’s involved in the purchase of loose diamonds – these are namely the Cut, the Clarity, the Color, and the Carat of each diamond that goes through inspection.

When a loose diamonds expert describes the cut of each diamond, he is referring to how the diamond was cut so that its brilliance is stunning to the naked eye. The cut of the diamond will allow this gem to reflect light much better compared to the badly or poorly cut diamonds. When you encounter an artisan who has mastered the fine art of cutting diamonds, he can literally transform each diamond that passes through his hands into a masterpiece. But a novice or untalented artisan who gets even the best rough diamonds will produce badly cut diamonds that would never pass scrutiny at any time.

The clarity of loose diamonds becomes apparent when each stone is handled under 10-power magnification. This helps the artisan see if the loose diamonds have any surface flaws because surface flaws will diminish the brilliance of the final product. The rating for diamonds based on clarity start at “completely flawless” (which means these are the loose diamonds of the highest caliber) and culminate with “noticeably imperfect” (which means these are the loose diamonds with the lowest possible rating a gemologist can give). The “completely flawless” loose diamonds will sparkle the brightest under light.

The most desirable color for any loose diamonds is crystal clarity with zero color. But in reality, diamonds come in a host of colors aside from being just clear diamonds. You can get diamonds that may start at color yellow then progress to brown, and even some loose diamonds that have rare colors such as blue, green, and pink. (If you have ever heard of the famed “Pink Panther” diamond, then you probably know this is true.) There are other colors too for diamonds, dubbed “fancies.” The highest possible rating based on color is D (for those diamonds that are crystal clear with zero color) while the lowest possible rating is Z (for those diamonds that are colored a robust yellow.) It is believed that a diamond with zero color sparkles the best, especially when you compare it with colored diamonds.

All loose diamonds are measured in terms of carats when their weight is considered. Each carat is made up of 100 points. If, for instance, you have a diamond that merits 75 points then it is said that diamond weighs .75 carats. It does not automatically follow that two diamonds with equal points (meaning they have equal carats) have equivalent value though. Carat weight only helps you determine which diamonds have the biggest size but total quality per diamond is measured by combining each of the 4 C’s during appraisal. That is why you can get diamonds of superior quality which are much smaller than other diamonds of lesser quality.

So before you set out to buy loose diamonds, it would be best to become proficient at judging loose diamonds based on these 4 C’s first. If not, you should get loose diamonds from reputable gemologists instead.

Car Insurance And Women – A Cheap Deal

Lady drivers or women drivers are a class apart and are often addressed as to being the lesser experienced among men and women. This a common conception in the minds of people all over the world. There have been instance when people have joked about this phenomenon and have laughed their hearts out. But there is one thing about women drivers that men are definitely jealous about, if not their driving skills.

It is the fact that women drivers get their insurance policies at a much cheaper rate as compared to men. This fact has lead to many a men feel sad bacause they are made to pay more or sheel out more from their pockets as compared to their women counterparts. Many insurance companies have had the tendency to allow women drivers more privileges. The reason to this has altough been very less understood.

The reason that a car company provide when asked to by a reporter though was good but not up to the mark in order to satisfy the ale community. They said that due to the fact that women drivers are involved in a lesser number of car accidents and other car related troubles in a recorded data of a paticular year, they are liable to pay much less . Due to the fact that the car maintenance costs for women are much less than male drivers , they are made to shell out less for their car insuramce also . The companies also believe that omen are able to clear their druiving tests much before male drivers . This leads them to believe that women are much more experienced which is not so. They are also not involved in as much felonies as much being caused by their male counterparts.

Due to the above stated facts that the companies believe , they claim to make the male drivers pay much more thasn they should be actually paying for their car insurance. The above stated facts and data that supports them make them believe the facts blindly. This makes women a safer bet for them as they would not have to pay huge claims for women as they may have to do for a male driver. This puts the male driver community under a lot of risk as they are liable to pay huge amounts.

The fact although still remains that women drivers are not better than male drivers as they lack the instincts that make a good driver . But as luck would have it just because of some loosely basedstatistical data they are made to pay less than male drivers.

Insomnia (sleeplessness) is a common sleep disorder in which a person experience difficulty in sleeping. Depression and anxiety are the two main causes of insomnia.

Review of AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 BABES, by Nige 54

Around The World in 80 Babes! is the classic tale of Nige 54 and his adventures meeting women and showing them a good time. Unlike many guys who are all talk and only think they know how to meet women, through his story, Nige 54 imparts the required insight and strategy that other guys can actually use to maximise their success. In contrast to "The Game," which painted a very negative picture of the whole seduction community, Around The World in 80 Babes! motivates and inspires every guy out there to make some changes and start living the "54" way.

If you've never travelled through Europe, this book provides a great account of what can be expected on a Contiki tour. This book will also inspire you to go on your own travels and many men have already re-traced the path of Nige 54 to experience their own adventure. Nige 54 breaks down the dynamic of the Contiki tour and how to best go about meeting women for fun and nudity. Add to that his adventures across the US and the book becomes an expert travel guide as well.

Perhaps the greatest part of the book is "Chapter 4, How to Get Laid All of the Time," where Nige 54 lays out his advice for meeting and attracting women. Unlike many of the popular seduction methods out there, his advice is concise, to the point and places a great deal of emphasis on taking ACTION. Once you know how he does it, reading the stories through the book simply cement the principles in place. As a reader, you become inspired to shake up your own life and really push your limits after reading about the thrilling exploits of Nige 54.

The book starts with Nige 54 becoming "bored shitless" by his job at a top Accounting firm. After seeing the film, "54," he becomes inspired to find his own version of "absolute heaven" where -- like the famed nightclub Studio 54 from the moveie -- "everything is beautiful." The reader learns the steps Nigel took to become Nige 54 and how he planned to maximise the nudity he would find on his around the world adventure.

One reader from the US, Larry had this to say. "I enjoyed it immensely, was laughing my ass off at some of your exploits and was even shocked at the audacity of a few things you pulled off.....you've developed your game to a very high level to pull some of that shit off! You definitely possess strong "inner game" which shines through in your stories. A big theme I hope people grasp is the outrageous lifestyle that's possible when you tighten your confidence, have some basic rules to work with and just go for it. I certainly found it inspiring. It's a huge and impressive accomplishment."

Along the way, Nige 54 discovers other things about himself he didn't know where there as his adventure takes the most unexpected and amazing twist that redefines the word "unpredictable" and highlights exactly why true life is often stranger than fiction.

What I find the best about "Around The World in 80 Babes!" is the way it inspires and motivates the reader to take a close look at their life and see how it can be made more exciting. Even if your life is one of stability, i.e. a wife, kids and a mortgage, it's an excellent way to live vicariously and experience absolute heaven.

Nige 54 has really become an expert at social interaction and travel and about the only questions that remain after reading the book are: What happened next? Where can I buy the sequel? and Do you have any seminars/in field workshops tours coming up? 5 stars.

Choosing the best Day Spa

The #1 key to enjoying your visit to a local day spa is relaxing your mind, body, and soul. So many people will go into a day spa and stay tense during the entire experience. Day spas and their relaxing treatments are designed to help you relieve all of the tension that you build in your day to day life.

I've put together a simple list for preparing yourself for your first day spa visit.

#1 - Choose your day spa wisely.

Look for polite and helpful staff as well as a nice/comfortable environment. Those two characteristics usually determine whether a spa is worth your time and money. Of course, looking for first hand customer reviews is always the best way of being sure.

#2 - Choose the best therapist for you.

Many therapists have their own style. You want to make sure that the therapist you choose has a personality similar to your own. It is never fun to visit a day spa and have a therapist with a dry sense of humor or personality all together.

#3 - Prepare yourself for your Day Spa visit.

Don't eat immediately before the visit. Drink as much water as possible; this will enhance your experience as the treatments are much more relaxing on a well hydrated body. It's usually best if you leave your valuables at home (you never know who will be in and out of the spa.)

Turning Your Home In To Green

In recent years we can see more and more people switching to buying green homes. This is either because they are getting concern about the environment or that the standards and techniques for building green houses have improved tremendously over the past years. In addition, sellers can also get a higher price for these green homes as they tend to save more on maintenance costs and utility bills. As such, if you are keen in purchasing a green home in Texas, how do you know that it is worth the price that you are paying for the house? This article will give you some tips on how you can get yourself a good deal. Check to see if the following things are found in the house:

1. A passive solar design
This is useful for natural heating and cooling of the house. Make sure there are not any skylights or greenhouse rooms in the house because that would mean too much heat gain in the building and will be very hot.

2. Attic spaces ventilation
Attic spaces can also accumulate heat, especially in hot climates, thereby causing the house to become very hot. On the other hand, moisture will remain in these attic spaces which are not ventilated, causing the wood to rot and smell.

3. Use of recycled or renewable materials
Since you are getting a green home, you should ensure that the materials used to build the house are not damaging to the environment. Some examples are using waste wood to build decks, use materials that are locally produced and can be renewed easily or recycled wood for the flooring of the house.

4. Use of safe materials
Products that are water based, non-toxic and biodegradable are more environmentally friendly so these should be used to build the house. Ensure that there are no materials that contain ozone depleting chemicals which are detrimental to the environment.

5. Site protection
The surroundings of the house is equally important, thus, ensure that the natural vegetation and animal habitats are protected from any unnecessary harm, especially if you need to do any additional constructions to the estate.

The 3 Best ID Card Printers for Your Business

If you know anything about ID card printers, you are already familiar with some of the top names in the industry. Datacard, Nisca, and Fargo bring an extensive array of well designed machines to the table. Today we will be looking at three specific models you should definitely investigate before you make a final procurement decision.

Datacard RP90

This equipment shows its true value when dealing with materials and applications other models can't handle. Instead of printing directly on each card, the RP90 prints images on film that can be transferred seamlessly to any surface. Using transfer film also allows you to configure the printed area around smart chips that need to remain exposed for interfacing purposes. The optional laminating feature adds an extra layer of protection and durability for frequently used cards.

This Datacard model is designed with high level security concerns in mind making it a favorite with government agencies. A particularly useful feature is available which blacks out any areas on the ribbon where text was printed off onto a card. This ensures that sensitive information can't be read on the ribbon when it is removed from the machine for disposal.

This manufacturer revolutionized the credit industry over 30 years ago by creating an inexpensive way to mass produce personalized cards for consumers. They are continuing their tradition of innovation today by incorporating technology into the RP90 that conserves laminate stock and dye during each card run.

Nisca PR5350

If you have a need for speed, the PR5350 is the card printer for you. This model has remarkable performance topping out at over 2.6 card imprints per second.

The standard features on this machine are excellent but you will find the greatest benefit in their wide range of additional options. Here are just a few:

-Smart Chip, RFID, and MagStripe technology for encoding and reading data
-Contact and contactless modules
-PR5302 addition which laminates both sides of each card for a long lasting finish
-Specially formulated UV ink that will not dry out and gum up the printhead

Nisca has introduced a number of firsts to the market including dual sided printing and self aligning printheads. They rely on R&D, engineering expertise, and customer feedback to keep the user friendly additions rolling in.

Fargo HDP5000

The HDP5000 is all about vivid image. There isn't a color you can think of that this printer can't create for you. This model doesn't just offer front and back printing - it takes it over the edge to eliminate white borders on the sides of your cards. Standard and custom holographic lamination is also available to give cards a lustrous sheen and take your marketing into the space age.

This machine weighs only 16 pounds but its performance and durability are outstanding. The unit even has a lifetime printhead warranty to prove it. The manufacturer plays it safe by providing a free cleaning roller with each printer ribbon so you won't forget to perform regular maintenance.

Fargo has now merged with HID Global Corporation. This partnership between two industry leaders brings together high quality card printing with technology such as central station managed access controllers.

Steps Of Root Canal Treatment

A root canal is a surgical procedure performed by a dentist in order to save an abscessed tooth. If a tooth’s nerve has been exposed due to a cavity or is otherwise damaged, a dentist surgically removes the nerve, or dental pulp, and cleans out any excess, lingering infection. The remaining hole left behind after the removal of the tooth is then filled in with a material that is similar to rubber. There are a handful of basic steps involved with a root canal treatment, which usually begins with the dentist taking x-rays to assess the condition of the tooth, the shape of the nerves, and the extent of the damage.

The Placement of a Rubber Dam around the Tooth
First, after the area has been numbed, the dentist stretches a small piece of rubber around the tooth that is going to be removed. This “rubber dam” is clamped to the tooth and held in place with a tool. The main purpose of the root canal is to remove a dead tooth, and to clean infection from the canal and surrounding area. Since saliva is potentially laden with bacteria, the dam acts as a preventive measure, and keeps more bacteria from entering the surgical site.

Gaining Access to the Nerve of the Tooth through an Opening
After the removal of decayed or weakened material, an opening is made in the crown of the tooth, often with a dental drill. This opening allows the dentist access to the root canals at the base of the opening, which is essential for the performance of this procedure. The access hole may be made in the surface of back teeth, extending down to the pulp chamber, or behind the tooth for those located in the front of the mouth. After this, the pulp is removed from the root canals using special root canal instruments.

Cleaning of the Interior of the Tooth
The root canal procedure then involves a thorough cleaning of the canals, removing debris, nerve tissue and any bacteria in the area. The cleaning stage involves special tools that feature rough surfaces used to file and scrape the areas to be cleaned. A second element in this step of the process involves the shaping and smoothing of the surface of the root canals in such a way that will allow them to be properly sealed later in the procedure. After constant rinsing throughout the procedure, the dentist then places a temporary filling in the hollow area for protection.

Sealing of the Root Canal
The dentist uses a material that prevents bacteria and infection from entering the root canal. This involves a rubbery material called gutta percha, which is placed in the root canal and sealed. This stage may be accomplished the same day as the cleaning and removal, or the dentist may instead perform this stage later, using the temporary filling to seal and protect the hollow space until that time.

Evaluation of the Root Canal Procedure upon Future Visits
Later, upon future visits to the dentist, the procedure is evaluated and any remaining work is considered and completed. The dentist insures that the procedure was successful, and that no infection remains in the area.

Day-To-Day Economy; Do We Really Need To Know About It?

If you are not the typical millionaire heir, whose millions came from "above", it is essential to be well informed about the current happenings of the economy. Everybody must earn a living, whether it is through sales, business transactions or working for an employer. It is a great truth that somehow or other, the course of our economy affects our daily lives. Ordinary Jobs So many people have jobs that have nothing to do with economy. A mechanic, a builder, a postman or a farm worker might even hate numbers and accounting. These ordinary jobs are very far from the stock exchange or banking, but they all have one thing in common with a banker or a stock broker. They contribute to the economy with their work, for one thing and on the other hand, they use the banking services and are affected by the ups and downs of the stock exchange. Headlines For this reason, nobody can say that they have nothing to do with economic matters. It has a direct influence on our daily living, even though we are not aware of it. Proof of this, are the headlines of the major newspapers and TV news. "Interest rates an all time low!" Or, "Oil prices soar sky high!" Now, tell me that those events do not have anything to do with our daily lives… A Healthy Habit It is very advisable to take due note of the mayor events from the papers, TV or Internet. Look at the general trend, find out how the stock exchange keeps people happy or makes them panic. If there is a housing crisis or a building boom, if the increase in the price of oil will force you to travel by public transport or you can afford a full tank every day. This habit will keep up your training and whenever you want to use credit, that is, every day on your credit card or an occasional loan, you will know what relationship there is between the Federal Reserve interest rates and the rates of your loan. Compare the interest rate the credit cards charge you, as well as the refinancing charge when you make the minimum payment, with the interest you pay on a personal loan or a debt consolidation loan and at once you will know exactly what to do. Housing Slump Look out for the latest news on housing and mortgages. Right now there is a certain recession in sales. You might want to keep your eyes open for decreasing prices and maybe buy and hold on until the recession is over. Buy with a mortgage knowing how to choose favorable conditions and low interest rates. Know that the builders need to sell and that some of them are even willing to pay for some of the mortgage fees. Credit Report Know about your credit report and how to check on it and keep it as best you can with a prompt credit repair. Use your imagination and soon you will discover how many things, apparently far away from normal citizens, have a direct influence on us.

Consolidating Student Debt After Graduation

Once you finish your college studies, it is time to start repaying your student debt. Depending on the career you have chosen you may have a very high amount of debt to repay. Even though you probably join the workforce right away, it may get hard to afford the monthly payments on your student debt. Fortunately there are debt consolidation solutions you can resort to in order to make your financial life a lot easier. People often wonder whether it is smart to wait till graduation in order to consolidate your student debt. There is no standard choice when it comes to this issue; however, many debt professionals think that it is best to consolidate student debt when there are no more chances of generating new debt. Others reason that it is a smarter idea to consolidate when market conditions are more advantageous. When Does Repayment Start? When it comes to federal loans, you will have to start repayment six months after you have finished college, whereas private student loans have different repayment programs and you need to check the agreement to see what kind of grace period you have. However the average student has higher amounts of federal student loans and thus, we will focus on federal student debt consolidation. Debt consolidation implies trading your variable rate federal student loans for a single fixed rate federal student loan. This is usually referred to as locking the rate on your student debt. All your federal student loans are replaced with a single loan with a fixed interest rate that by extending the repayment program attains lower monthly payments that are a lot easier to afford. What Can Be Achieved Through Consolidation Through Student Debt Consolidation you can reduce your monthly payments by up to 50% or more. The resulting installments will be a lot easier to manage and thus, you will not have problems affording them along with other debts, like a mortgage loan or a car loan. By consolidating your student debt you can have healthy finances and enjoy your life after graduation without making sacrifices. Consolidating may imply that your debt grows, because even though the interest rate remains the same, the extension of the repayment program implies that you will be paying for interests a lot longer. However, on a monthly basis, you will be paying less, which will lift all the weight from your shoulders from the very beginning and eventually, you can always prepay your debt if your finances improve. Benefits Of Waiting Till Graduation Waiting till graduation for consolidating your debt will let you incorporate all your student debt to a single loan. And even though you may have consolidated your debt before, if you took at least another federal loan, you can consolidate again after graduation. This will let you budget your payments more easily and decide your loan terms knowing what to expect from your income while at earlier stages of college you can hardly know what you are going to earn when you graduate. However, make sure to consolidate at least a couple of months prior the six months grace period has ended so you do not have to rush in and risk making an unwise decision.

Acne Program - Step 12 Change The Way You Think

Your thoughts have a lot to do with why you have acne. Most people will not even give this idea a single thought. You can get rid of acne without changing your way of thinking, but your thoughts will create some other illness that you might not see. Most illnesses begin with the way you think, the way you are, or your basic philosophy. Your thoughts create chemicals that flow into your blood and affect the function of your entire body. So if you have acne, it was created by the way you think. If you have ulcers, heart problems, or anything else, these were created by the way you think. Your thinking prevents you from eating and doing the things that you need to do to have good health or clear clean skin. If you have acne or any disease, it is an opportunity for you to stop and think about why you have it. Acne is an expression of your thinking. Everything about you – the way you walk, the way you talk, the way you dress, that way you eat, the diseases you come down with, the way you do everything – originates in your thought process. Here is one place to start your self-examination. Start by being more accepting of yourself. What I have learned in the past is that no matter how much you put yourself down or how critical you are of yourself, it will not change the world around you. The world and you are still the same. So, just get over it. Stop fighting who you are. Accept yourself as you are and get on with the purpose of your life. Just get on with it. Don't worry about what other people are thinking and doing. That's their problem not yours. You need to learn how to "face yourself." When you have acne you may not want to look at yourself and "face who you are?" If you have acne, there is always some underlying emotions and feelings that are being expressed by your acne. Look into yourself and try to see what you are saying with your acne. If you cannot find it, see if you can relate it to constipation. Constipation and a toxic colon is typically the cause of acne. But to go one-step further, all physical illness are created by some emotional unbalance that you are holding onto. Acne can be a representation of repressed traumas that you have experienced as a child when you were growing up. I know you may not want to hear this. But, Acne can be an expression of those traumas trying to burst out of the repressive mechanisms that your body creates to prevent you from facing these traumas until you are ready to do so. Some effort has to be make to connect and release these traumas, otherwise as you clear your face these traumas can move to some other parts of your body where they will be unseen and destroy tissue and body functions. If you have a negative thought, ask yourself this question, "does this thought or idea help me or others become a better person?" If not, then let go of this thought and move on to a better thought and a better place in your life. Good Luck To You Follow the 12 steps for getting rid of acne and you will get results. Follow these steps and your face will clear and become smooth and lovable.

If you want a good fit take a few minutes and answer these basic questions.

1. How much does your horse weigh? If a 1000 lbs or more, look to a Full Quarterhorse Bar (FQHB)/wide saddle. 2. What kind of withers does your horse have? Mutton-withered? Look to a FQHB if your horse is anywhere close to a 1000 lbs. i.e. 900 lbs or more. 3. Consider your horse's back. Is he wide or narrow? Can't tell? A wide back will require a FQHB. A narrow back will need a semi-quarterhorse bars. 4. Is your horse short backed? Look for a shorter skirt or round skirt saddle. You don't want the saddle skirts to rub the horse's hips. 5. Is your horse gaited? Seriously consider a gaited saddle. Gaited saddles have more rock with wider bars in the front and are smaller in the back to allow for the movement of their shoulders. 6. What is your budget? Be reasonable in your expectations. Leather saddles cost more than cordura saddles. You will find few leather saddles for under $500, so be realistic. Most of the time you will get what you pay for. 7. Consider what you are going to do with this saddle. Yes, the trail saddle looks nice, but you won't rope off of it for long. 8. What seat size do you need to look for? 9. What saddle pad will work? Most horses do not need special pads, but some horses do. Think about what will work, and do the necessary research. 10. Answer all the questions. All these questions need to be considered to insure a good fit. If you don't answer all the questions you may find a saddle that fits and you might not.

A Brief History of Canon

Canon is known today for its printers, copiers, and cameras. It began in 1930 as a small company called Precision Optical Instruments Laboratory, to produce cameras. The company's first camera was called the "Kwanon." Its first ad campaign associated it with the I-Class submarine and the 92-Type airplane, both of which the Japanese government was promoting as proof of Japan's technical superiority. Eventually, the company decided to change the company's product name from "Kwanon" to "Canon," which meant "precision" in Latin. In 1945, part of the company's manufacturing facilities were destroyed in Allied bombings—and the company ceased operations briefly after the end of the war. When Allied forces occupied the country, however, the company president noticed that they were interested in Japanese cameras. He decided there was plenty of opportunity for the company to succeed, and he decided to reopen the company and invite back its former workers. Canon began with cameras and eventually expanded into personal copying machines, color copy machines, and then inkjet and laser printers. One of Canon's important printer innovations was the bubble-jet printer. According to company legend, a technician accidentally touched the tip of a hot solder gun to a needle filled with ink. The heat caused the ink to spray out of the needle. This led to the development of the first bubble-jet printers in 1981. Canon also played an integral role in developing laser printer technology and liquid crystal displays. Canon is a groundbreaking company, responsible for driving innovation in camera and printer technology throughout the 20th century. With its long history of invention and its reputation in the market, chances are it will continue to be influential in the 21st.

Find yourself right at home in the kitchen?-Cooking

If you find yourself right at home in the kitchen, perhaps a chef career would be right up your alley. When the thought of a chef career comes to mind, it may project thoughts of slaving over a hot, smelly grill, flipping burgers and hearing endless orders shouted through a loud speaker. While that may be the scenario for some chefs, there are actually many different options for this occupation. Cooks for fast food and restaurant chains are always in demand because quick employee turnover is almost guaranteed. Many high school students take on these less-paying jobs solely as a summer gig. Others use the opportunity to bring in income until a more profitable job is found. However, restaurant, fast food and short order cooks are still categorized within the chef career spectrum and having the skill of producing high quality, tasty food is a talent that not everyone has. For more resources please login on to www.cajuns-recipes.com. Everyone has to begin somewhere, and working for one of these kitchens provides cooking experience, looks good on resumes, and can act as a jumping off point for beginning a chef career. If baking will be your forte in your chef career, perhaps a job at a cafeteria or nursing home would be a good job selection. While fast-food workers are constantly frying up and scooping out the same food products daily at a lickety-split pace, an institution kitchen is a more relaxed atmosphere where a variety of traditional, slightly more healthy dishes are prepared. For instance, many cafeteria kitchens designate two or three items in which an employee is responsible for preparing and baking daily, such as a cook who makes bread products, one who creates casseroles, and others who hand-bread and roast chicken. Having a set food prep schedule gives a cook or chef the opportunity to ease into their specialty and, over time, perfect their craft. After a few years of experience, it may be possible to advance to a head chef position at a prestigious eatery, such as a steak house or hotel restaurant. This chef career is a bit more stressful, as you are not only in charge of a kitchen full of employees; you are also required to insure the food going out to the paying customers is first-rate and superlative. A chef career at this high status will pay a higher income because cooking skills must be paramount and management skills proficient. Possibly the most sought-after chef career is as a personal or private household chef. You should also visit at www.atkins-diets-recipes.com. To be selected as a personal chef because of your impeccable cooking skills, creative dishes and flawless meal presentations is the height of honor for a chef after years of hard work and practice. If you are considering a chef career, knowing how to cook is not enough. You must perfect your craft and stand out from all the rest who are your competition. Enrolling in a vocational school which provides cooking instructions or even a specialty college or institution could help mold you into the cooking expert that will send you on your way to the world of chef careers.
