What causes Appendix pain?
This occurs when the appendix is inflamed and pus filled. The appendix is a pouch that is finger shaped and jets out on the right lower side of the abdomen from the colon on that side. This structure is very small and has no essential purpose that is known but this does not mean it can not cause any problems.
Appendix Pain Location
Appendicitis creates pain that normally starts near the navel as well as shifting to the right lower abdomen. This pain typically intensifies over a time frame of twelve to 18 hrs. and ultimately will become quite severe.
This can affect anyone but it mostly occurs in individuals in between the ages of ten and thirty. The standard treatment is elimination of the appendix surgically.
The location of this pain can vary, depending on the age of the individual as well as the position of the appendix. Pregnant women as well as young children can have appendicitis pain in places that are different.
Appendix Pain Symptoms
Symptoms and signs of appendix pain or appendicitis can include:
- Pain that is aching and begins near the navel and then will shift to the right lower abdomen
- Pain that gets sharper over time
- Pain that is sharp in the right lower abdomen that happens whenever the area is pressed down and then quickly release – rebound tenderness
- Tenderness that happens when you apply any pressure to the lower right abdomen
- Pain that gets worse when an individual coughs, walks or makes any movements that are jarring
- Vomiting
- Nausea
- Low-grade fever
- Loss of appetite
- Diarrhea
- Constipation
- Inability to pass gas
- Abdominal swelling
If the individual or child has symptoms or signs that are worrying, call for an appointment to see your family physician. Abdominal pain that is so stark that an individual is not able to sit still or discover a position that is comfortable requires immediate attention medically.
Appendix Pain Causes
What causes appendicitis is not always known. Often appendicitis can occur as a result of:
A blockade
Piece of hard stool – fecal stone – or food waste can get confined in an opening of the cavity running the interval of the appendix.
Appendicitis can also occur after an infection, for instance gastrointestinal infection, or can start after other kinds of infections.
In either case, bacteria can afterwards rapidly invade, triggering the appendix to be inflamed and pus filled. When not treated immediately, the appendix can split.
Appendicitis may create complications that are serious.
An appendix can rupture
If the appendix does rupture, the substances of the intestines as well as organisms that are infectious may leak into the cavity of the abdomen. This causes infections to develop in the abdominal cavity and cause peritonitis.
A pus pocket can form in the abdomen
The seepage and infection of intestinal contents can create an abscess – which is a pocket of infection also known as appendiceal abscess. This abscess needs treatment before the abscess tears open causing a much more widespread infection in the abdominal cavity.
Appendix Pain Diagnosis
The appendix pain can over time change, making the establishment of a diagnosis often difficult. Additionally, pain in the abdomen region can come from a vast number of health problems besides appendicitis. In order the help with the diagnosis of appendicitis, the physician will more than likely first take a history of symptoms and signs and then execute a very thorough exam of the abdomen.
Procedures and tests can include:
Physical to assess pain
The physician can apply pressure that is gentle on the area that is painful. When this pressure is suddenly released, appendix pain will normally get worse, a sign that the peritoneum is inflamed. Other indicators the physician might look for include rigidity of the abdomen and the tendency for the abdominal muscles to stiffen up in reaction to any pressure around the appendix that is inflamed.
Blood test
The physician will be checking for high white cell count that can point to an infection.
Urine test
A urinalysis will need to be done to make certain that a kidney stone or urinary tract infection is not causing the pain.
Imaging tests
The physician might recommend an X-ray of the abdominal area, an ultrasound scan or a CT scan in order to help to endorse appendicitis or to find any other reasons for the pain.
Appendix Pain Treatment
Treatment for appendix pain normally consists of surgical removal of the appendix that is inflamed. Any other treatment can be needed depending on each individual situation.
Appendix surgery or appendectomy
Appendix surgery is executed as open surgery by using one incision in the abdominal region about two to four inches long. Or this surgery can also be done laparoscopically involving several very small incisions in the abdomen. In the course of a laparoscopic technique, the surgeon will insert special tools as well as a video camera into the abdomen in order to remove the appendix.
Generally, laparoscopic surgery permits the individual to recover fast and creates less scarring. But, this type surgery is not suitable for everyone. If the appendix has burst and the infection is extended beyond the appendix or if an abscess is involved, the individual can need an open appendectomy. This allows the surgeon to un-contaminate the cavity of the abdomen.
An individual should anticipate spending one or two days in the hospital after an appendectomy.
Drainage of abscess before surgery
If an abscess is current, it can be drained by putting a tube thru the skin and into the abscess. The appendectomy may be done several weeks later when the infection has been controlled.

The cannibal cop case of Officer Gilberto Valle continues to dredge up gruesome details of what prosecutors allege was the 28-year-old's plan to abduct and eat women. The defense's response? It was pure fantasy.
While the details are disturbing, so too is the idea of "thought police." Where, exactly, does U.S. law draw the line between fantasy (no matter how dark) and conspiracy?
"In this country, it is a crime to conspire to commit a crime," said Joe DeMarco, an Internet lawyer and former head of the cyber crimes unit at the U.S. Attorney's Office in New York. "So, if we agreed to buy a kilo of cocaine and break it up into little bags and sell it, even if we never did it, it's a conspiracy that violates the narcotics laws of the U.S., and we could go to jail for years and years...We like to stop a crime before it happens."
NEWS: Prehistoric People Ate Each Other, Bones Show
But, criminal law doesn't go after fantasies, said Marcus Asner, partner at Arnold and Porter, a New York law firm, and former chief of the major crimes unit at the U.S. Attorney's Office in Manhattan. Criminal law separates between actus reus and mens rea, Latin terms meaning guilty act and guilty mind, allowing some leeway in guilty thoughts -- meaning that almost all defendants argue they were simply pretending.
"Suppose you're at a target range and you don't realize someone is behind the target, you pull the trigger and someone accidentally gets killed. In that case, you're not guilty," Asner said. "It was an accident. On the other hand, if you are shooting at something thinking it is a person, and you intend to kill a person, but in fact the person is not there and no one gets killed, there is no completed crime -- but we call that attempt and attempt is a crime."
In reality, though, it's blurry, he said. One key question that often helps define cases is whether the defendant took a substantial step toward the crime.
Take a case he argued in 2005, U.S. vs. Joseph Zito. Zito often got online to look for young girls, and eventually, he started chatting with an FBI agent he believed to be a young girl.
NEWS: What the Donner Party Ate in Final Days
"The government figures out who he is but doesn't arrest him until he gets in the car and shows up to meet the girl with sex paraphernalia in the trunk of his car," Asner said. "We were very careful to make sure the guy did take a substantial step."
One of the arguments against Valle is the specificity he used in his communication.
"This is someone who hasn't just idly talked about cannibalism, but he's named specific people," DeMarco said.
Further complicating the "I was just pretending" defense is the Internet.
NEWS: Can a Heinous Murderer Be Considered Sane?
"The Internet allows people who have these niche interests to find each other in ways that are efficient, global, and, if you want, anonymous," DeMarco said. "It enables people with disparate interests -- whether it be stamp collecting or cannibalism -- to find each other. And that can validate their interest, so they don't feel alone or odd or unusual."
That validation can lead to encouragement, DeMarco said, so that someone who was initially only mildly interested in stamp collecting, for example, could form a club. And when the subject is something society disapproves of, it can encourage someone to cross certain lines they might not have otherwise.
"The very probing question is, What is the difference between fantasy and what's blameworthy?" Asner said. "At bottom, it's a moral judgment. Oftentimes, that is for the jury to figure out."

Fed up with burning scalp? There's hope.
Hi guys,
If you've found this the chances are you've Googled 'burning scalp' as I have when I first encountered the problem over a year ago.
I was so frightened with what I was reading about hair loss, I clicked off and never searched again.
But I want to let you know if you are suffering with this problem there is hope.
Mine first started when I was on holiday, it happened suddenly and I notice when I brushed my hair more strands than usual came out. This was accompanied by a distinct burning sensation that I though must have been sunburn.
After coming home to the UK the problem persisted. I was under a lot of stress having just broken up with my boyfriend and now I had to worry about my hair falling out! I remember sitting on the train from the airport gently pulling on my hair and five to ten hairs would come away easily. All the while it was burning, a sensation that seemed to move around my scalp, from one side to the other. I felt sick with worry when I realised it wasn't sunburn and I went to see my doctor.
They gave me special shampoo and a steroid liquid. When this didn't work I went to a consultant who put me on a type of anti-depressant Citalopram, which apparently works by dulling nerve endings. He thought it could be some kind of neuralgia. This appeared to work for a few weeks and then the problem was back. Hair still coming out to excess.
I was so scared of losing my hair, I kept checking it with a hand held mirror so I could see the back. I did this every time I went to the bathroom. Sometimes I'd wake in the night petrified about all my hair coming out. I had met someone new and when he text me to say my hair was all over his pillow and how funny it was I almost died. He had no idea quite what I was going through. I started to wear my hair up a lot as I became paranoid it was starting to thin. In the street I would check out everyone's head of hair as they past me, I felt obsessive but there was nothing I could do about it.
I'm writing all this because if you have a burning scalp now, I know you'll identify with all that I'm saying and I want you to know there's a chance it WILL get better all by itself.
Right back to the story...in general, the pain seemed to intensify then dull, at it's most painful I'd be in tears, unable to concentrate at work. After another doctors visit, one told me that it could be stress related and to go home and have a drink! He looked at me like I was crazy and so I decided to try and ignore the problem to see if worrying less about it would ease the pain. After 6 months of ignoring it the best I could, it was still nagging away at me!!!
I went back to the doctors, they did blood tests but ultimately found nothing wrong. By this point I had told those closest to me what was wrong, they all told me that I had a full head of hair and that I needed to try and stop worrying. My new boyfriend was amazing - and still is! - unlike the doctors he doesn't think I'm nuts and would ask each day 'how's your head today?' He didn't even laugh when I invested in a retro ice bag to place on my head when it got really bad!!!
I can't give you a cure to this as I am still living with a burning scalp BUT...for some reason, after a year and a half, the pain has started to subside. I can now go for days without thinking about it. If you imagine the pain as volume control, it's like the volume has been turned right down, just the faintest burn/tingle. This i can live with!!!
I am using special prescribed shampoo one a week - maybe this helps. Mentally I am no longer stressing about my hair coming out - I think this certainly helps and my hair is coming out less, still more than it ever used to but no one else notices but me.
I think this condition is a real catch 22. The more you worry the more you burn so accept the fact that the pain is real, try and treat your hair like you did before the burning scalp began - so if you want to use your favourite conditioner on the ends of you hair - do it. Just by treating yourself as you did before the burning began really helped me.
I'm at a stage now where I can even book a hair cut appointment. Something I have done only once since I've had this problem! I was always terrified they were going to be rough with me and make the pain worse.
Even if writing this helps one person I'll be happy. I just felt when I was at my worst the terror of looking at websites which spoke only of definate hair loss and depression really upset me!!
So there IS hope. Be patient, ride the storm and hopefully your scalp will calm itself down and give you a well earned break!
Re: Fed up with burning scalp? There's hope.
Thank you for your letter. My scalp has been burning for six months and have seen two derms with many treatments and no cure. No flaking or sores, just like you said feeling sunburned, hair hurting. May I ask what special shampoo you used as I have tried many. I even put aloe vera plant gel on my scalp. Hair spray seems to make the sting worse, but like you said with the hair thinning I have to use it to go out. My hair is to my waist and it is so disturbing as my scalp has never done this until the doc gave me a steriod shot in my scalp and its been burning ever since. Thanks for the encouragement, it means alot.
Re: Fed up with burning scalp? There's hope.
Hi there,
I'm glad that my experience has helped in some way. Ironically since I put the post up my burning has got worse!! Ahh! Nevermind, it'll pass.
The shampoo my doctor has prescribed contains nizoral.
I think there are different types of this shampoo so be sure you get the bronze and white box and bottle. The shampoo is bright pink!
Let me know how you get on x
Re: Fed up with burning scalp? There's hope.
The one you could try is called nizoral - white and bronze box. I got mine through my doctor.
Re: Fed up with burning scalp? There's hope.
Thank you very much. I'm waiting to see if it is my thyroid meds as they were on the high end and just changed to a lower dose. Have been playing detective for awhile. I will get back with you and so appreciate your help and hope you get better asap.
Re: Fed up with burning scalp? There's hope.
Thanks for your post, I am having scalp/hair loss trouble and it is nice to hear someone else talk about the same feelings and actions. I laughed when I read about checking your hair with a mirror - I do that all the time!
I have been given topical steriods to try address the inflammation and Coal Tar shampoos - to no avail.
I am also changing my diet - as a way of reducing inflammation - reducing sugar, diary (a big culprit for causing psorisis apparently) and also limiting gluten, I am feeling better and my allergies are better but still itchy burning red scalp and hair loss - so I will keep it up for a while longer to see how it goes.
One connection I have made that may help others is that on days where I take ibuprofen or asprin my hair loss almost doubles - which is weird!
I wish everyone luck with their hair issues - hope you all find some resolution x
Re: Fed up with burning scalp? There's hope.
Hi all,
Saw a new derm and he thought I might have Lichen planopilaris. Ugh. Well, he reviewed my two past biopsies and noted the inflammation was in the blood vessels not the hair folicles. I'm going for allergy testing Monday. He asked me to use Dermasmooth and am hesitate because I don't tolerate steriods. My hair is falling out and still burning. He also stated it could be scalp dysesthesia. I will hopefully find out what is going on and I don't like looking at my scalp in the mirror either. Anyway, this is real and he seems to be a good doctor. Thank God someone cares in the medical field. Best of luck to you all and I'll be in touch.
Re: Fed up with burning scalp? There's hope.
Hi there, interesting response from the doc. I've since been back to see a consultant who was also very helpful. I'm now on Amitriptyline as they insist it's neurological. I'm on week three and no real change yet but I'm hopeful as ever.
One thing I have realised though...I used to freak out in a big way when brushing my hair after washing it as sooo much came out. BUT then I realised I had stopped washing my hair as often as I used to which was everyday. So, naturally, 3 days build up of shedding hair looks so much worse than one day. This calmed me a great deal and just thought you guys might have a similar issue. Good luck and keep me updated all!! x
Re: Fed up with burning scalp? There's hope.
I'm glad you were able to find a bit of comfort in having a shared experience. Interesting one about changing diets. It's all worth a go I suppose. Apologies for the huge delay, I've not been on this website for ages ;) Thanks so much for your reply, it's really helpful to swap ideas and try and boot this silly burning scalp thing in the butt!!
Re: Fed up with burning scalp? There's hope.
Hello all,
I went back to the dermatologist and he said I definetly have scalp dysthesia. I will try Clobex shampoo and if that doesn't stop the scalp pain he is certain I need to be on 10mg's of Doxipin or Neurotin. He blames the hair loss on my thyroid but assured me I wouldn't go bald. My hair is to my waist and thinning as I type this. Ugh. I hope this helps someone and the meds help me. Also, he suggested 5 to 10mcgs of Biotin and A/G Pro vitamins. They are sold on line or can be ordered at Walgreens or Wal Mart. Best of luck to all and I'll check back hopefully with good news.
Best wishes.
Re: Fed up with burning scalp? There's hope.
Sorry I meant to type 5000 to 10,000 mcgs. of Biotin. I can only take 2500 as it upsets my stomach.
Re: Fed up with burning scalp? There's hope.
Hi all,
Still have the burning scalp. Tried Doxepin for six weeks and no relief of symptoms and hair is very thin at crown where it burns the most. The derm told me the only medicine left to try would be Elavil. I'm not going there unless I start losing all my hair. I have read other posts and think I will try avoiding diet coke and using Philip B Rejunenating Oil as posted by Flower. My heart goes out to everyone who suffers with this condition. It is real and frustrating. If anyone has success from treatment please post. Best of luck to all.
Re: Fed up with burning scalp? There's hope.
I was going to start a new thread on this topic, but saw your post.
(I realize this is a couple old, but if it can help someone?)
I have had the same exact thing for around 4-5 years on and off only on the nape of my neck hairline and my part line. I have tried absolutely everything, had all the blood tests, prescription shampoos, steroids, etc.
Here is what worked for me:
I cleaned the nape area and part line once with stridex no alcohol / aloe pads which contain salycic acid. Yes, that made my scalp somewhat irritated and some of you might have to test a little area, but the salycic acid chemically exfoliated the hair follicles.
After the pad water dried up, I washed my hair with Free and Clear Shampoo and Free and Clear Conditioner and rinsed very very well, because my scalp is very sensitive from all the crap I've put it through over the years.
I towel dried my hair (with a towel that had been wiped down and let air dry with anti-bacterial hand cleanser as I also apply to my pillowcases).
I wait a couple of hours to let my scalp calm down a little bit.
I apply Bactin spray wound disinfectant, which contains benzothonium chloride, which sticks to the scalp and hair and is a powerful antibacterial that hospitals use. I felt the burn go away right away, I just had a little sting from the exfoliating stuff.
I did this routine with shampoo and Bactin (not the exfoliating all the time and still do if I feel a little burn coming on) and it took around 3 days to cure my burning.
I imagine if the scalp is too infected you would have to go on antibiotics? I'm not a doctor, just have been living with this for so long and did not want to go on AB's.
Re: Fed up with burning scalp? There's hope.
Hi, I see this is a few month old but I was wondering if your scalp is still doing better for? I am also wondering if one of the other girls could give a update on Phillips B oil and if it worked? I have been dealing with this crap about two years now. Hope to hear from back!
Re: Fed up with burning scalp? There's hope.
Hi Curly,
Welcome to the boards. I'm sorry to say the only product that has helped me is Sarna lotion. It calms my scalp temporarily, however that is better than no help. I have had this condition about four years along with hair loss. I'm apposed to being treated with Elavil which would most likely help. Just don't want to get on it. I keep hoping when I calm down my scalp will also. Wishing you the best and if I can help in anyway I'm here for you.

The wretched climate, combined with the squalor and decadence of the country, made me curtail any plans and just stay inside as much as possible while I was there. Don't ever want to go back to that part of the world.
I am, however, conditioned to dry heat, after living in Arizona for a few years. But 45 years ago I lived for a year in the Panama Canal Zone, which has got to be as bad as southeast Asia for humidity. And I've spent a few summers in New Orleans, which is almost as bad. So you can adjust somewhat.
But I really don't want to spend any significant amount of time now in a climate that makes me feel lethargic. Asia just isn't on my radar.
Oh well, I guess latin America is out of the question for me too. It's a shame. I don't want to feel lethargic either. I live in the UK which is so boring, the last thing I want is weather that makes me want to fall asleep. I want to live in a place that makes me want to get up and do something. That's why I think southern Europe is best for me in that way. But damn, those filipinas.

The features that characterize the present model ranges of BMW Group, including outstanding dynamics and remarkable efficiency in all vehicle classes, have been confirmed by the results of the readers' survey called 'The Most Sporting Cars 2009' conducted by Sport Auto, the German automotive journal.
Of the 16 categories for production cars, models from both BMW and MINI came in with a total of six titles, in addition to the six models from BMW Group who won honors in their corresponding class.
Thus, once more, the BMW Group dominated the readers' survey of Sport Auto, confirming the superb reputation of BMW and MINI products among sporting and dynamic car enthusiasts.
In all, there were two diesel and four gasoline models that won the 2009 readers' survey titles, including BMW Group Saloons, Coupes, Convertibles and Roadsters getting the honors in the different classifications. The BMW 3 Series, along with the BMW M3, won three out of four class titles.
In the category of saloons of up to 50,000 Euros, the BMW 335i got the title, for diesels above 35,000 Euros, the honor went to the BMW 335d Coupe, and in the price category of up to 80,000 Euros, the BMW M3 Saloon was voted a the Most Sporting Saloon.
In the Convertible category of up to 40,000 Euros, the BMW Z4 sDrive23i Roadster won the top spot. For Diesel Vehicles up to 35,000 Euros, the BMW 123d Coupe still reigns supreme just like it did last year. The MINI John Cooper Works won the Small Car category for two succeeding times already.

Rugby World Cup: We're up and running at last... and long haul will be worth it
As World Cup build-ups go, this one has had it all. From heartbreaking late injuries to selection controversy and mounting fears that escalating costs mean by the time the final rolls around fans will have to take out a second mortgage in order to afford a pint and a burger.
Yes, it really has had everything... apart from games that matter.
With the phoney war of the warm-up Tests now mercifully in the rear-view mirror, we're finally down to the contests that count with England against Fiji at Twickenham first up this evening.
As host nation, England find themselves under considerable pressure and questions remain about the side Stuart Lancaster (pictured) has assembled in the four years since they scampered home under a cloud from the 2011 tournament in New Zealand.
The emphasis placed on character by their coach means that the "dwarf tossing" scandal is unlikely to be repeated and England's issues are to be played out on the field.
The loss of three key members of the Welsh starting side - Leigh Halfpenny, Rhys Webb and Jonathan Davies - has made the Pool of Death seem a little less fatal.
But with a resurgent Australia also in the mix matters will still be testing.
Without an established midfield pairing and a back-row that still has its detractors, it's hard to see England lifting the Webb Ellis Cup for a second time, even if a wave of home support does take them deep into the tournament.
New Zealand remain the team to beat, their strength in depth seeing them leave some frightfully talented players at home, but if they are to become the first team to retain the trophy they will need to overcome a travel sickness that has prevented them winning the competition on foreign soil.
The aging core of a South Africa side that was successful back in 2007, along with emerging youngsters like Jesse Kriel and Handre Pollard, will, of course, also be there and much as they'd like to in Ireland, one should never take the French challenge lightly.
And what of Joe Schmidt's men?
Travelling fans and those left at home to wonder just which of England's 2003 squad hasn't become a television pundit, are all dreaming of a first semi-final berth at the very least, but the man in charge is keen to look no further than tomorrow's meeting with Canada.
It's an understandable stance and few countries have provided a better example of the idea that pride comes before a fall than Ireland back in 2007.
The 'Golden Generation' were bullish about their prospects of tasting glory out in France…that was until the less than traditional rugby forces of Namibia and Georgia proved slightly sterner opposition than was expected.
Deep down, however, Schmidt, who has ceaselessly succeeded since he arrived on these shores, must be daring to dream.
In World Cups gone by, the keys to success can broadly be said to centre around a canny coach, a forceful leader and half-backs that can execute a game-plan.
In Schmidt, Ireland have a man considered by many to be the best in the business.
The mastermind behind the European triumphs of Leinster at the turn of the decade who went on to secure two Six Nations championships in as many years, is it any wonder many think his native New Zealand will one day come calling?
For leadership, Paul O'Connell is a driving force fit for any side, even if the totemic lock is approaching his final days in an Ireland shirt while Rory Best is on hand to offer further experience.
A veteran of three World Cups, he was there for the misadventure of 2007 and will be just as keen to downplay prospects of success as his coach.
If the glory of the past two seasons was initiated by Schmidt's move into the top job, then on the field there has been no more significant figure than Johnny Sexton.
Often appearing to seek solace in the green of Ireland during a mixed spell in the Top14, the out-half is an ever-willing lieutenant for his coach, able to carry out his game-plan to the letter and combining well with Conor Murray, a fellow world class talent at Schmidt's disposal.
More will come into play and, as the camp have stressed, little can be gained from looking too far down the tracks, but in these key areas Ireland are primed for their longest run in the tournament.
Will it all add up to a recipe for success? We'll soon find out. Seven weeks of rugby lie ahead. It's a long haul but you'll love it.

Since we officially started hurricane season on the first of this month, and in light of the tropical storm we've already had and all the tornadoes touching down across the country, I thought it was a good moment to remind everyone to have an emergency kit for all their pets and family members ready.
You never know when you may find yourself in a situation where you and your family needs to pack up in a hurry and evacuate. It could be a tornado, a hurricane, a flood, etc. It happens more often than anyone thinks and in the 11th hour it is too late to get together good kits for every member, especially the pets. So it's vital that everyone (adults, children, and pets) have backpacks or plastic totes ready to grab in seconds, throw them in the car, and leave.
The Red Cross website has great ideas for what to put in backpacks for your human family members, from clothing and toiletries to emergency supplies, so I will not go into that here. But I will talk a bit about pets, focusing on your reptile pets.
Per Red Cross recommendations, you should have what you need to be OK at least 3 days, so that's what we'll base our kit on.
|A lizard clings to an arm chair following severe floods in Texas this past month. This guy may not be someone's
pet, but it should remind us to think about our reptiles in case of an emergency.
1. A Container. You will need somewhere to pack the supplies into. I like plastic storage containers with lids that are locked into place. They are easy to stack in a car, are relatively water-proof, you can see what's inside if you choose a clear container, and they're easy to write on (your name, what's inside, etc.) You could use a backpack too, however.
2. Temporary Cages. Whether you have a chameleon, a frog, a hamster, or a parakeet, you'll need somewhere to put them safely for the duration of transport. It'll give you somewhere to house them in if you need to spend a couple nights in a hotel, too. For chameleons I love butterfly cages (available anywhere from Amazon.com to your local Walmart) because they collapse flat, provide a lot of airflow, and you can spray chameleons through them with water. I also have another container for immediate transport, which you could use as temporary housing for other animals like geckos or snakes - Tupperware containers with lots of small holes drilled in the lid. You could use snake bags as well, or spend the money on Kritter Keepers. All good options for temporary, compact housing. Use one per pet!
- For your chameleon, you'll need something to climb on once you're settled somewhere safe and can pop out the butterfly cage. I recommend fake vines from the Dollar Store. You don't need anything fancy, just enough to add climbing surfaces and leaf cover. These vines also fold away nicely in a plastic container.
3. Water. Like you would for people, you should pack a couple water bottles in your pet kit. For chameleons, make sure to bring a smaller water sprayer, and for other pets bring something to pour the water into such as a tiny bowl or deli cup.
4. Towels/Sheets and Paper Towels. You should always have at least one towel or something else that is absorbent or can be used to cover up the temporary cages. Remember that animals in an unfamiliar place, like a hotel or an emergency center will be terrified, do them a favor by covering up their temporary cages as much as possible. I also keep a roll of paper towels in there as well - it's just something that always comes in handy.
5. Hot or Cold packs. You never know what the weather may be doing at the time of an emergency. It could be a 98F day in South Florida or it could be a 10F day in England. You just never know. So I recommend ordering a few hot and cold packs online, used to ship reptiles. Both packs have an estimated life of 48 hours, but I would have several of each.
- Note: You don't want to put these heat packs directly in contact with any animal, as they could burn or freeze themselves. But you could put them outside of the temporary container and cover with a towel, to warm or cool the air beneath it. How warm or cold will depend on your specific species and their limits. You do not need to replicate ideal temperatures if you can't, just keep them within a comfortable, survivable rage.
6. Any Medications. This won't apply to most reptiles, but if your pet needs to take any medication for something, have it within reach so it is easy to grab, throw into the emergency kit, and take with you. You could put some calcium supplements in a little zip lock and keep it in the kit, but I feel that it's not vital unless your animal is undergoing treatment for MBD or is gravid.
- Someone among you should have a first aid kit in their backpack, and many of those items will work on pets as well. Stock up with some Polysporin, for example, which is better than Neosporin on reptiles in case of any cuts. Remember to keep any injuries dry, clean, and protected.
You'll notice that I did not mention food. This is because A, you shouldn't be spending vital time trying to scoop out crickets or worms into a container in an emergency, and B, most reptiles will be fine not eating for several days (and they may not eat at all in a new, stressful environment.) Get yourself settled and safe, and then worry about finding a pet store to get crickets.
|What you'll need in your kit. Everything should fit comfortably into the large plastic
container. All photos and products belong to their respective owners, none are mine.
1. Have everything ready to go. Put everything into the large plastic container (all the towels, paper, Tupperware containers and butterfly cages, etc.) Also add a card with your name, cell number, another emergency contact, and an email. You never know if you'll become separated from your pets, and chameleons don't wear tag collars. Have this ready ahead of time, obviously.
2. In An Emergency you want to grab each pet and put them into their respective Tupperware container. That (and any meds) should be the only thing you have to grab before you go, as far as your reptiles. Put all of the pets into the large plastic container, close it, and pack it into the car.
3. Once You Are Safe you can unload all the animals out of the large plastic container and set up their better temporary cages. Try to keep them and yourself as comfortable and safe as possible.
I hope that everyone stays safe always, and that any evacuation is quickly over and your homes are safe to return to. But it always pays to be prepared if you want to keep all members of your family safe. Please never abandon pets at home alone in an emergency, most do not survive through a flood, hurricane, or other serious event.
I will add photos tomorrow.

Discussion in 'Introduce Yourself' started by RMZ, Mar 19, 2013.
Congrats and welcome to TFI. Njoy driving.
Hi RMZ, Firstly welcome to TFI.
I guess this is one of its kind intro to this very FIAT forum looking like not so liking fiat ride :evilsmile
Its nice to see such unbiased views looking forward to read more about your views after few K Kms of ownership. I presume that these are the initial views !!
Punto is a good buy for sure and you might be right with the 1.2 petrol engine but i dont think fit and finish of the ride is that bad!!
And regarding the inclined parking, i have parked my punto on inclines (steep and not so steep) on various occasions and have not faced the issue that you have mentioned. My car stands still at the incline (in both directions) with just the hand brake on. Good to get this checked.
Thankyou Fiat1100.
Hello Raj. Its not that I don't like her, but I was concerned about those things that I mentioned. I really love her suspension. Huge difference compared to my prev car, Alto. Regarding fit n finish, how do you feel when sliding the a/c vents left n right, or the markings on fuel lid, bonnet opening and boot opening levers? In Alto, these were definitely better. The power window switches, dashboard etc feel solid enough.
In my car, the glovebox locking mechanism was faulty when I did the PDI. There were 3 other Puntos at the showroom and two of them had the same issue with glovebox. SA has however rectified my issue and it works fine now. Will detail these in my ownership thread.
I'm planning to visit the service centre this saturday and will get the handbrake checked. Happy to see so many TFI-ans helping me out with suggestions.

Pope calls on couples to marry
Pope Benedict XVI has denounced the "disintegration" of family life in Europe and called for couples to make a commitment to marry and have children, not just live together, as he re-affirmed traditional Catholic family values during his second and final day in Croatia.
The Pope also voiced the Vatican's opposition to abortion at an open-air Mass at Zagreb's hippodrome, the highlight of his trip to mark the local church's national day of families.

Criminals deportation scheme flops as only two leave Britain
A KEY Home Office programme to rid the UK of foreign criminals without costly legal hearings has seen just two offenders leave the country in the past year, the borders watchdog has revealed.
Theresa May announced the plans in April last year
The scheme was supposed to save £10million a year and see scores of foreign offenders accept a slap on the wrist for their crimes if they agreed to be deported.
But an independent inspection found the Home Office missed its own annual target of 62 removals by an embarrassing 60.
The flagship scheme was announced by Home Secretary Theresa May in April last year.
Under the programme low-level criminals avoid prosecution by agreeing to leave the UK for at least five years.
But the chief inspector of borders and immigration John Vine discovered the Home Office found police regularly failed to offer them the option of leaving the country.
He said the Home Office was trying to "address this problem".
The failure is revealed in a report on Operation Nexus, where police in London and the West Midlands link up with immigration officers to identify and deport foreign offenders.
Mr Vine praised the Met for helping boost the number of overseas criminals removed in the capital from 418 in 2012 to 1,077 last year. But he slammed West Midlands officers for their ineffective use of immigration officials.
We have seen a rise of more than a third in the number of illegal immigrants identified
Only 336 out of 717 foreign criminals had their immigration status checked and the number of removals barely improved during the period of the operation, he said.
The number of immigration offenders identified by Operation Nexus rose 37 per cent overall from 1,134 in the four months to January 2012 to 1,553 a year later.
Last night, Tory immigration minister James Brokenshire said he was pleased with the report.
"We have seen a rise of more than a third in the number of illegal immigrants identified through joint working with police since the inception of the operation," he said.

Salvaging or repurposing furniture is a environmentally friendly way to find cost effective and unique furniture pieces for your home. We asked Carrie Thachuck, the owner of The Passionate Home for some tips on getting started. The Passionate Home is located in Langley and sells repurposed furniture and art.
What are some of the reasons people spend the time and effort to fix up things instead of buying them new?
Personally, I would choose to reclaim and restyle a piece of furniture over purchasing something new because I love the thrill of the hunt and love to make it my own. It brings me such joy to create something unique that is just perfect for my space and it gives you a sense of accomplishment.
There are many reasons people would choose to spend their time and effort; they could already own a buffet for example, that once belonged to their Grandparents and they would hate to get rid of it but the colour is dark and boring and does not go with their décor. A bit of TLC and a few coats of paint and you have a perfect piece to complement their space and to fit below their flat screen!
Older pieces tend to be better built, it saves money to shop second hand, and it is also a "green" option, by keeping furniture out of the landfill. Reclaiming furniture gives you something unique, saves you money and is environmentally friendly.
Where are the best places to find items to repurpose or salvage?
The best place to find items to repurpose or salvage is in your own home! The home of a friend or family member, thrift stores, flea markets, auctions, antique stores, consignment stores, second hand furniture stores, even the side of the road! You could even try The Passionate Home!
Where are some of the places you draw inspiration from?
I find inspiration everywhere I go, but if I were stuck for an idea, I would turn towards home décor magazines, books and blogs. I also love to browse around other beautiful home décor shops.
What are some of the essential tools you need for repurposing furniture?
The tools you need for repurposing a piece of furniture really depends of the piece you are working on. Some basic tools however would include a palm sander, a screw driver, and a paint brush. The most important tool I think would be your imagination!
What do you suggest for a beginners project?
A good beginner project would be small and in good solid shape. A small project does not take up too much room, does not take too many tools and you will see your results quicker than if you were to tackle a larger project.

I have played no deposit bonus promotion in this casino 21 Grand and Supreme Play. As I have the same problem in both casinos, and they a part of the same group (they have same owner), I will describe problem here.
After I have finished playing ND bonus promotions (at 21 Grand on Oct 7 and later at Supreme Play on Oct 12), their agents on chat have confirmed that I have finished them successfully. Also they told me that when I make a deposit (25€ to each casino), I can request a withdrawal of total sum (deposit+bonus winnings). I did exactly what they told me. So I deposited via Neteller 25€ in each of these 2 casinos (50€ total), and requested a withdrawal of 55€ in each casino (110€ total).
Details of deposits:
21 Grand deposit transaction:
205344095970390 25.00 NETeller COMPLETE Oct 7, 08:44:58 AM
Supreme Play deposit transaction:
205344110135364 25.00 NETeller COMPLETE Oct 12, 04:40:12 PM
Details of requested withdrawals:
21 Grand details of withdrawal transaction:
205344095972481 55.00 NETeller PROCESSING Oct 7, 08:46:03 AM
Supreme Play details of withdrawal transaction:
205344110138311 55.00 NETeller PROCESSING Oct 12, 04:40:58 PM
And then started problems.
After first week since I requested the withdrawal (at 21 Grand), when I asked about it, agent told me that it will be processed next week.
After second week agent told me that it will be processed in a few days.
After third week (today) and a lot of waiting for answer, their agent told me that I have several accounts at casino. I immediately told him that is not true. I have one account per one casino (one account at 21 Grand, and one account at Supreme play).
Later, their agent called me on phone. She confirmed that I have one account per casino. But then she told me that I broke some bonus rules, and that is why they won't pay me out. She didn't tell me which rules I broke in any of their 2 casinos, so I don't know what it is about. I simply used no deposit bonus promotions which I received through their affiliate partner LCB when I registered, one promotion at 21 Grand and one promotion at Supreme Play.
Therefore I will not accept that after 3 weeks of winning no deposit bonus promotion and confirmation of that by their agents, they arbitrarily classify me as a "bonus abuser".
Beside that, in a no way I can accept that they will not refund at least my deposited money of 50€ (25€ in each of their 2 casinos) back to my Neteller account. This is simply stealing of my money. I have deposited money (2 times of 25€) only to make a withdrawal of bonus winnings as their agents told me on chat, that is way I want it back to my Neteller account.
Simply, after I have finished promotions and made winnings, they confirmed that. Then I have deposited and requested withdrawals. Now 3 weeks later when I insist on payment, they deny it and don't want to pay me out.

* RWE and E.ON pass key test on nuclear plan; shares rally
* Pan-European index FTSEurofirst 300 down 0.2 pct
* Rolls Royce and Safran hit by concerns over EU probe
By Danilo Masoni
MILAN, Oct 12 (Reuters) - European shares were slightly lower on Monday after reaching one-month highs in a rally last week, with civil aerospace stocks leading the fallers and German utilities soaring after concerns over nuclear costs eased.
The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index and the euro zone's blue-chip Euro STOXX 50 index both fell around 0.2 percent. The two indexes are up more than 4 percent so far this month.
Traders said it was no surprise that some investors were taking profits following last week's gains, while Japanese markets were closed for a holiday and the United States was celebrating Columbus Day.
"The market is consolidating after last week's rally, also because of the holidays in the U.S. and Japan," ActivTrades chief market analyst Carlo Alberto De Casa said.
He said investors would be focusing on Chinese trade balance data, but most of all on U.S. economic statistics later this week, for more indications as to when the Federal Reserve will increase rates, the main focus for markets in recent weeks.
E.ON and RWE both rose more than 10 percent in their biggest one-day bounce in seven years after the German government concluded that they had set aside enough money to decommission their nuclear plants.
Several brokerages including Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse, Equinet, Societe Generale and DZ Bank upgraded either their ratings or target prices on Germany's utilities as a result.
The stocks pared gains and were up 5.9 and 8.8 percent respectively as some analysts suggested remaining cautious.
"This is not the end of the German nuclear decommissioning story," said Investec analysts in a note, noting that a further examination will now take place and that other unresolved issues were still pending.
Rolls-Royce and Safran both dropped more than 4 percent, hit by weekend media reports of a European regulatory investigation into the airline maintenance market. The two engine makers confirmed on Monday they were in the process of filling out questionnaires sent to them by the European Commission regarding aviation equipment servicing contracts.
Fiat Chrysler rose 0.7 percent after disclosing pricing for the initial public offering of Ferrari, which could value the luxury sports car unit at close to $10 billion.
Biotechnology group Novozymes fell 3.8 percent after Goldman Sachs downgraded its shares to "sell" from "buy".
The strong gains for E.ON and RWE helped the German blue-chip index DAX outperform Europe. The index, which remains some 20 percent below a record high reached in April, was little changed.
Hampstead Capital hedge fund manager Lex Van Dam said the DAX now looked in better shape. "Finally some good news out of Germany, with the utilities RWE and E.ON leading the way. I am quite constructive on the market," he said.

Odour Control & Wastewater Treatment
Destroy odour causing compounds with the oxidising power of ClO2
Chlorine Dioxide is effective across a broad pH range, and unlike chlorine will oxidise a number of odour causing compounds without forming toxic chlorinated by-products
Corrosion due to sustained, uncontrolled release of Hydrogen Sulphide caused the shutdown of a $6M wastewater treatment facility after 2 years
Effectively controlling industrial odour emissions requires a deep understanding of the upstream process, and any variability that might occur. Often, a combination of alkaline and basic scrubbing systems, and/or barrier misting systems are required to achieve complete control.
Chlorine Dioxide can form an important part of this control system. Scotmas work with leading manufacturers of scrubber and barrier mists systems to integrate effective chlorine dioxide treatments into the treatment chain.
Chlorine Dioxide is particularly effective against sulphides, mercaptans, secondary and tertiary amines where is powerful, non-chlorinating oxidative action oxidises the compound to non-odour producing components, without producing chlorinated organic compounds that are so hazardous in wastewater discharges.
Chlorine Dioxide can be added to once through and recirculating scrubber systems easily and cheaply using our Alpha dosing systems, or even directly without a generation system to recirculating acidic systems.
In temporary barrier misting systems, Chlorine Dioxide can again be applied as a simple tablet to the feed bowser, or via a simple continuous dosing system. Scotmas provide a number of simple colour change dip test kits to help you ensure that Chlorine Dioxide is being deliver efficiently and safely to your system.
Our simple, peristaltic dosing system can be applied to wet scrubber systems to deliver ClO2 on a timed or continuous basis in response to control signal
Simple, one off or slug dosing of odour control liquor using liquid or tablet based precursors, to deliver Chlorine Dioxide as a clean-up solution
For more complex wastewater applications, our Bravo generation systems can be engineered for multi-point dosing, in response to air quality monitoring systems in stacks and the wider environment, as well as integrated to your SCADA system
A team of experienced environmental engineers, chemists and microbiologists on hand to help you obtain and maintain required regulatory permits
Managing Director, Alistair Cameron gives an overview of Scotmas Group and our expertise in Chlorine Dioxide

Art Flashcards
A period of intense and aggressive colonization of African states by European powers began in the 1880's
Artists responded to the situation in a variety of ways…..
Some abandoned reference to traditional ways and materials indigenous to the land.
Some adapted their forms as they incorporated newly available materials.
Portuguese travelers to bring back to the wealthy
Clients who financed their voyages.
Hybrid between cultures because…..
Ivory carvers from Africa used imagery from
Both Africa and Europe to make these more
Enticing to the European market.
A status piece displayed in homes of the wealthy
to show wealth and power of the family.
Dogs and snakes are represented in high relief,
both are considered to have strong connections to the spiritual world in African Culture.

Sapi-Portuguese Refers to
The African region of Sapi
As it was discovered by and
Influenced by the early
Portoguese Slave traders.
The Portuguese found skilled artists
Working in the Benin Kingdom along
The western coast of Africa.
Portuguese people referred to the Kingdom
As the Beny Kingdom.
Copper and Brass were important to the
People of Benin and most of the artwork
From the region was made of cast metal.
In 1897 the British attacked Benin and
Conquered the very powerful region.
Benin had taken over many neighboring
Regions prior to the British takeover.
Art pieces were sold to British Museums
Many of the works of art were created
For use in rituals and for display on
This plaque is a depiction of important
Benin leaders and fighters.
The scale and relief of each figure conveys a message of rank.
The largest figure being most important.
The very ornate regalia is also a sign
of wealth and power.
It is still argued that some of these pieces should be returned to the native land from British Museums.

The Fante region
Each group in the Fante region has it's own organized military. Flags were used to specify between groups.
Flags were used to intimidate neighboring enemy groups.

Melbourne, Australia
A romantic idea or vision of what the native peoples were like in the exotic colonized lands.
The British. There is no interaction between the people themselves but the
Composition suggests a calm and peaceful scene.
The native boats and people are in the foreground of the painting creating
A linear perspective, leading the
Viewers eye to the British boats
Calmly nestled in the background.
(V formation "framing" the British
An atmospheric perspective is used
To create a crispness in the foreground
Contrasting the slightly out of focus
Background in the mountains.
The landscape was partially invented
Manipulated by the artist to create
An exotic feel. The volcanic mountains
Of Tahiti could not be seen from any
Coastline in reality.
The painting is Romantic and idealized to portray a colonization as in a positive light.
Reference to Madonna and Child…a Classical reference in European artistic training,
Can be seen with the woman and her baby in the foreground. The woman is shirtless
Depicting an exotic and Native style on the old classic.(hybrid)

James Abbott McNeill Whistler,
Focus of the painting is on Chinese imports created exclusively for European
market. Whistler was a collector
of Chinese Wares. The ones seen here are of his private collection.

Dutch Wax cloth prints created by
England specifically marketed for Africa.
1799 meets 2008 with political
Commentary and criticism.
The text on the desk is in French
"Do the dreams of reason produce monsters"
Suggesting that the imposition of the
Enlightenment ideals during colonization
may in fact create a few demons--such as
dictators "democratically" voted into power.
"The sleep of Reason Produces Monsters"
The artist's critique of his period's
political and social vices.

Hello Sandra,
we could not advise you if this will fix your problem with the door, you would need a local service engineer
to help you with this
08 Jul 2013 by Anonymous
is this the correct part?
Hi I have a hotpoint aquarius tdl31 tumble dryer and it has stopped working I believe because the spring on door catch is not clicking the door shut and so dryer won't operate. Is this the part I need that keeps the door shut? Is it hard to change? Thanks
24 Oct 2013 by sarah
This is the spring for the door latch, unfortunatley i could not tell you how easy it would be to fit, you would really need top speak to a service engineer

First off, I can't mount my SD card. Doesn't come up at all on the phone, nor my computer. Second problem, Well this one was going on before the rooting/roming was made. I use an extended battery, but the system doesn't recognize it as a "Approved Battery", which does not let me charge the phone unless its fully off. In order for this to work, I need to remove the battery, connect the charger, insert the battery and then let it charge as its off. Any and All help is extremely appreciated! -ditoh1

JA: Back in Action - Trailer @ RPS
View Single Post
December 9th, 2011, 09:52
Am I the only one looking forward to this game?
I saw this video a while back, but now seems like a good chance to share it with those who may not have:
Wish I paid more attention in German class to understand what they're saying, but it's also a pretty nice gameplay demonstration. Maybe I've missed some news on this one, but I didn't realize it had such a tasty menu of autopause options, which you can see in English at approximately 6:25. No "pause every turn," a la BG2, that I would like, but this menu coupled with manual pause should leave me in pretty decent shape.
I remember reading enemies would be visible across the entire map at all times, but proper line of sight seems to be in. Note the options to autopause when a player spots an enemy and when an enemy spots a player. In the outdoors, a couple of enemies do appear to pop into view due to line of sight. Also, at the end of the video, a player character goes down a ladder and runs into an enemy machine gunner, who destroys the player before he can scrabble back up the ladder.
Looked like some decent character stats, inventory and recruitment. Also saw overhead damage numbers. All of that and the strategic overview map all looked pretty reminiscent of JA2 to me, though it has been a while since I played it.
