God the Cosmic Gardener
I began to imagine God taking delight in watching the universe slowly unfold and grow, much like my wife and I delight in the slow transformation of seeds into a bountiful harvest.

I began to imagine God taking delight in watching the universe slowly unfold and grow, much like my wife and I delight in the slow transformation of seeds into a bountiful harvest.
If I studied science, allowed my intellect to thrive, and continued the pursuit of understanding how things work, I was convinced that I would be condemning my soul and forsaking my faith.
All creation is the doings of God's hands, no matter how he did it. When I look at a painting, I can connect somehow with the painter, and the same goes with the universe and God.
I became such an expert in young-earth creationist theology and science that it turned into a wrecking ball for my faith.
Science is an honest and noble pursuit, evidence of human intellect and curiosity, and to turn away from these is to deny a very important part of who God created us to be in the first place.
My childhood in the evangelical church gave me the toolkit that led me to eventually accept the evidence for evolution, and marvel at the God who created it all.
Collection of the best articles of the past several weeks on science (and faith) from around the web.
Some of the Christian objections to evolutionary creation come from a misunderstanding of what the Bible means when it says "God created".
Recent high-school graduate Jacob shares about his journey from young-earth creationism to evolutionary creationism, and how his faith was challenged and strengthened along the way.
When we sit down to read sacred Scripture, we need to develop a rapport with the Bible's various authors and their worldviews. Otherwise, we will unintentionally demand they communicate in the same manner we do.
Read about the death of Wolfhart Pannenberg, still debating creation and evolution, and a really big dinosaur discovery.
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
There was nothing about my experiences on Oct. 20 or the God I'd met that day that intimated to me that he harbored a particular abhorrence for evolution or any scientific theory. I wonder how often we do stuff like that: add things to our list of divine "non-negotiables" that really reflect nothing of the God we experienced when he first welcomed us into his family as a free gift of grace.
…because accepting evolutionary theory for the first time does require us to reconsider and reframe other aspects of our cultural and spiritual beliefs, we must be more caring about the way we interact with those who remain in disagreement with us.
Ian Barbour died on Christmas Eve at the age of 90. He is credited by many to be the father of the contemporary academic discipline of science and religion.
As Christians we believe by faith that Christ was both human and divine, and although this paradox can be difficult to comprehend, it is not a stumbling block to our faith nor does it hinder us from having a relationship with him. Similarly, the Bible is both human and divine.
A deep love for scripture, coupled (ironically) with a lifelong struggle with religious doubt, led Robert Boyle to write several important books relating scientific and religious knowledge. We explore aspects of this fascinating interaction.
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons. In the IoT vision, every new "thing" - sensor, actuator, data source, data con...

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

The Internet of Things is tied together with a thin strand that is known as time. Coincidentally, at the core of nearly all data analytics is a timestamp. When working with time series data there are a few core principles that everyone should consider, especially across datasets where time is the common boundary. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Scott, Director of Enterprise Strategy & Architecture at MapR Technologies, discussed single-value, geo-spatial, and log time series data.

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada advises against non-essential travel to:
- La Mar and Huanta in the department of Ayacucho;- Marañon, Huacaybamba, Leoncio Prado and Humalies in the department of Huanuco;- Huallaga and Tocache in the department of San Martín;- Padre Abad and Aguaytia (province of Coronel Portillo) in the department of Ucayali;- Tayacaja in the department of Huancavelica;- Kimbiri, Pichari and Vilcabamba districts in La Convención province in the department of Cuzco (Cuzco City and Machu Picchu are not affected);- Satipo and Concepción in the department of Junin; and- the Upper Huallaga and Ene river valleys (Huánuco and San Martín departments)
In these regions, remnants of the Shining Path terrorist group continue to conduct occasional ambushes, kidnappings and attacks. In addition, narcotic trafficking still poses threats to security.
The decision to travel is your responsibility. You are also responsible for your personal safety abroad. The Government of Canada takes the safety and security of Canadians abroad very seriously and provides credible and timely information in its Travel Advice. In the event of a crisis situation that requires evacuation, the Government of Canada's policy is to provide safe transportation to the closest safe location. The Government of Canada will assist you in leaving a country or a region as a last resort, when all means of commercial or personal transportation have been exhausted. This service is provided on a cost-recovery basis. Onward travel is at your personal expense. Situations vary from one location to another, and there may be constraints on government resources that will limit the ability of the Government of Canada to provide assistance, particularly in countries or regions where the potential for violent conflict or political instability is high.
There are continuing concerns about a possible resurgence of terrorist activity by subversive groups, including remnant members of the Shining Path. Isolated incidents have occurred in remote areas and cities within the departments of Puno, Piura, Lambayeque, La Libertad, Junin, Ayacucho, Cuzco, Ucayali, San Martín, Huanuco, Huancavelica and Apurímac. Incidents include robberies, temporary takeovers of small villages, and, although rare, violence (including bombings) or threats of violence against local security forces or community figures. Overland travel in these regions can be dangerous.
Travel in areas where there is coca cultivation and processing is dangerous. You should review regional advisories carefully.
Violent crimes such as carjacking, assault and armed robbery are frequent. When arriving at Lima's Jorge Chavez International Airport, use a secure taxi service to go into the city, and exercise particular caution en route to your hotel. Further information on registered taxi companies is available on the Lima Airport Partners website. Attacks and robberies on vehicles occur regularly along the route from the airport, and even upon a taxi's arrival at the hotel.
Remain vigilant due to the threat of express kidnappings, in which victims are usually abducted for a few hours and forced to withdraw money from automated banking machines (ABMs). Most express kidnappings take place at night, but cases also occur during daylight hours. Kidnappings sometimes involve taxi drivers. Kidnappers tend to select victims according to outward signs of affluence, such as their clothing, vehicle or place of work. Travel in groups at all times throughout the country, do not accept transportation or guide services offered by individuals seeking clients on the streets, and book a secure taxi from a reputable company.
Criminals have been known to throw objects in front of oncoming traffic in the hopes that cars will stop. If this occurs and you need to stop, do so only in a safe location, such as a gas station.
Theft on intercity buses is also common, particularly when travelling after dark, when armed gangs have been known to stop buses to rob travellers. Thefts on boats by river pirates have been reported along rivers in the Amazon jungle.
If you are stopped by police or security forces, ask to see official identification. Record the officer's name, badge number and district. Thieves have been known to pose as police officers in order to gain the confidence and cooperation of their potential victims. Petty crime is prevalent in Lima and other cities. Purse snatching, pickpocketing, theft and break-ins occur, even during daylight hours, in crowded public areas, on micro-buses, and while hailing taxis. Thefts also occur frequently in hotels and restaurants. Avoid showing signs of affluence. Avoid carrying unnecessary credit cards and large amounts of money. Resisting a robbery can lead to further violence. While driving, keep your vehicle locked and keep your personal belongings in the trunk of the vehicle as criminals have been known to shatter windows or attempt entry at the sight of merchandise.
Incidents of sexual assault including rape have been reported in the cities of Lima, Cuzco, Puno, Pucallpa and Arequipa, and in many isolated areas elsewhere in the country. Female travellers should exercise caution at all times.
Never leave food or drinks unattended or in the care of strangers. Be wary of accepting snacks, beverages, gum or cigarettes from new acquaintances, as they may contain drugs that could put you at risk of sexual assault and robbery.
Demonstrations, protests and strikes are commonplace throughout the country. Strikes may cause disruptions to air travel, public transit and on roads. Protests in the area of Puno can sometimes result in the closure of the border crossing with Bolivia. Avoid large crowds and demonstrations and monitor local media reports for up-to-date information.
Poor road conditions and a lack of traffic signs are common. Mountainous roads can be particularly dangerous. When renting a vehicle, always purchase insurance. When travelling by car, keep your doors locked and windows shut at all times. Travelling in groups is recommended.
Only use reputable transportation companies. You may check with travel agencies which intercity bus companies are recommended. The Peruvian Ministry of Transportation (in Spanish) publishes a list of the intercity bus companies with the highest rates of traffic accidents resulting in fatalities or serious injuries. Avoid travelling by road outside of major cities after dark. Intercity bus travel can be dangerous. Bus accidents are frequently caused by excessive speed, poor vehicle maintenance and driver fatigue.
Do not hail taxis on the street. Reserve a taxi by calling a reputable taxi company or use taxi services associated with major hotels. Agree to a fare prior to departure, and do not pay until you have reached your destination.
Police spot checks are common and can cause delays. Carry identification and vehicle registration at all times.
There have been a number of incidents involving small aircraft in the area of the Nazca Lines, some resulting in fatal accidents. Ensure that your airline has a good record and appropriate safety measures in place.
See Transportation Safety in order to verify if national airlines meet safety standards.
If you intend to trek:
a) never trek alone;
b) always hire an experienced guide and ensure that the trekking company is reputable;
c) buy travel health insurance that includes helicopter rescue and medical evacuation;
d) ensure that you are in top physical condition;
e) advise a family member or friend of your itinerary;
f) register when entering national parks;
g) know the symptoms of acute altitude sickness, which can be fatal;
h) register with the Embassy of Canada in Peru; and
i) obtain detailed information on trekking routes before setting out. Treks and hiking excursions should be undertaken in groups, with experienced tour guides only.
Each year, several hikers and climbers are victims of serious accidents in the Andes, some of which are fatal. Climbers should be well informed on the possible hazards and exercise extreme caution in steep or slippery areas, which are neither fenced nor marked. Exercise extreme caution while climbing the Huayna Picchu, a peak near Machu Picchu, as serious injuries and deaths have occurred. Assaults have also been reported along the Inca Trail and in the Huaraz region of the Cordillera Blanca mountains. A detailed travel itinerary should be left with a friend or family member.
Contact the Peruvian National Police's High Mountain Rescue Unit (USAM) before visiting mountainous areas in Ancash (tel.: 51-1-575-1555, fax: 51-1-575-3036, email: email@example.com).
Swimming in jungle lakes and rivers can be dangerous due to the presence of parasites and wildlife. Strong currents exist in the Pacific Ocean and in rivers. Seek advice from local residents before swimming and consult local authorities about recent conditions.
There have been several recent accidents and drownings involving tourists white-water rafting, particularly on the Urubamba River near Cusco. Ensure that the rafting company follows strict safety guidelines prior to participating in any such activities.
Recently, spiritual cleansing ceremonies offered by Shamans and other individuals have led to the serious illness, deaths and assaults of several tourists. These services are not regulated and may involve taking substances that can cause medical complications and severely impair cognitive and physical abilities.
Dial 105 for emergency assistance. For tourist assistance and information, contact IPERU (tel.: (01) 574-8000, email: firstname.lastname@example.com).
The Peruvian government has opened tourist police offices in most tourist destinations. The telephone numbers for the tourist police in Lima are 51-1-715-6554 (Miraflores), 51-1-423-3500 (Lima North) and 51-1-243-2190 (Lima South). There are also tourist police offices in 15 other cities, including all major tourist destinations, such as Cuzco, Arequipa and Puno.
Tourists may register complaints on a 24-hour hotline provided by the National Institute for the Defence of Competition and the Protection of Intellectual Property (INDECOPI). INDECOPI operators speak English (tel.: 224-7777 in Lima; 01-224-7777 outside Lima; or toll-free 08-004-4040 within Peru). In Lima, the INDECOPI office is open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. (there is an answering machine after business hours). The office at the Jorge Chavez International Airport operates 24 hours a day.
It is the sole prerogative of each country or region to determine who is allowed to enter. Canadian consular officials cannot intervene on your behalf if you do not meet entry requirements. The following information on entry and exit requirements has been obtained from the Peruvian authorities. However, these requirements are subject to change at any time. It is your responsibility to check with the Embassy of the Republic of Peru or one of its consulates for up-to-date information.
Official (special and diplomatic) passport holders must consult the Official Travel page, as they may be subject to different entry requirements.
Canadians must present a passport to visit Peru, which must be valid for at least six months beyond the date of expected departure from that country.
Tourist visa: Not required
Business visa: Required
Student visa: Required
Canadians do not require a tourist visa to enter Peru. An entry stamp will be provided in the passport upon arrival at a Peruvian port of entry for up to 180 days, the length of which is determined by immigration officers. Overstaying a visa or entry stamp is a criminal offence. In most cases, Peruvian immigration charges a fee of US$1 for each day of overstaying a visa. This fee must be paid upon exiting the country.
Canadians entering Peru by land need to obtain an entrance stamp in their passport. If they fail to do so, Peruvian immigration officials could oblige them to go back to the border to obtain the stamp before leaving Peru.
Although Canadians do not need a tourist visa to visit Peru, all travellers are given an Andean immigration card (Tarjeta Andina de Migración) which is a visa paper issued upon arrival. This card must be presented prior to departure from Peru. Failure to produce this document may result in delays until a replacement is obtained. If your passport is lost or stolen, a new card and a new entry stamp on the replacement passport must be processed at the Superintendencia Nacional de Migraciones (Spanish only).
If you lost your passport or had it stolen on the same weekend than your flight departs, you may be required to remain in Peru until the following week in order to obtain a replacement entry stamp and immigration card.
If you entered Peru on a business visa, you must show certification from the Peruvian Ministry of the Economy that all Peruvian taxes on income earned during the trip have been paid. The certification is required even if no money was paid or earned. You must then present this certification to the central Peruvian immigration office in Lima.
Travellers carrying more than US$10,000 or its equivalent in any currencies or any monetary instrument must declare the amount exceeding US$10,000 when entering or leaving Peru. Furthermore, it is prohibited to carry currencies or monetary instruments exceeding US$30,000 when entering or leaving Peru.
Consult the government of Peru's Essential Guide for Tourists Visiting Peru for more information on entry and exit requirements.
The Peruvian Children Law requires that a minor (under 18 years old) travelling to Peru for more than three months, alone or accompanied by only one parent, present special documents to enter and leave the country. If the child is travelling with one parent, the non-accompanying parent must provide a completed notary authorization form, available from any notary public in Peru. If the child is travelling alone or with third parties, both parents must obtain judicial authorization from a court.
See Children for more information.
Some countries require proof of yellow fever vaccination before allowing entry. Consult the World Health Organization's country list to obtain information on this country's requirements.
Be sure that your routine vaccines are up-to-date regardless of your travel destination.
You may be at risk for these vaccine-preventable diseases while travelling in this country. Talk to your travel health provider about which ones are right for you.
Hepatitis A is a disease of the liver spread through contaminated food and water or contact with an infected person. All those travelling to regions with a risk of hepatitis A infection should get vaccinated.
Hepatitis B is a disease of the liver spread through blood or other bodily fluids. Travellers who may be exposed (e.g., through sexual contact, medical treatment, sharing needles, tattooing, acupuncture or occupational exposure) should get vaccinated.
Seasonal influenza occurs worldwide. The flu season usually runs from November to April in the northern hemisphere, between April and October in the southern hemisphere and year round in the tropics. Influenza (flu) is caused by a virus spread from person to person when they cough or sneeze or by touching objects and surfaces that have been contaminated with the virus. Get the flu shot.
Measles is a highly contagious viral disease and is common in most parts of the world. Be sure your measles vaccination is up-to-date regardless of your travel destination.
Rabies is a deadly illness spread to humans through a bite, scratch or lick from an infected animal. Vaccination should be considered for travellers going to areas where rabies exists and who have a high risk of exposure (i.e., close contact with animals, occupational risk, and children).
Yellow fever is a disease caused by a flavivirus from the bite of an infected mosquito.
Travellers get vaccinated either because it is required to enter a country or because it is recommended for their protection.
|* It is important to note that country entry requirements may not reflect your risk of yellow fever at your destination. It is recommended that you contact the nearest diplomatic or consular office of the destination(s) you will be visiting to verify any additional entry requirements.
|Country Entry Requirement*
Travellers to any destination in the world can develop travellers' diarrhea from consuming contaminated water or food.
In some areas in South America, food and water can also carry diseases like cholera, hepatitis A, schistosomiasis and typhoid. Practise safe food and water precautions while travelling in South America. Remember: Boil it, cook it, peel it, or leave it!
Typhoid is a bacterial infection spread by contaminated food or water. Risk is higher among pediatric travellers, travellers going to rural areas, visiting friends and relatives or travelling for a long period of time. Travellers at high risk visiting regions with typhoid risk, especially those exposed to places with poor sanitation should speak to a health care provider about vaccination.
In some areas in South America, certain insects carry and spread diseases like American trypanosomiasis (Chagas disease), chikungunya, dengue fever, leishmaniasis, malaria, onchocerciasis (river blindness), West Nile virus and yellow fever.
Travellers are advised to take precautions against bites.
There is currently an outbreak of chikungunya in this country. Chikungunya is a viral disease spread through the bite of an infected mosquito that typically causes fever and pain in the joints. Protect yourself from mosquito bites, particularly around sunrise and sunset. There is no vaccine available for chikungunya.
Cutaneous and mucosal leishmaniasis causes skin sores and ulcers. It is caused by a parasite spread through the bite of a female sandfly. Risk is generally low for most travellers. Protect yourself from sandfly bites, which typically occur after sunset in rural and forested areas and in some urban centres. There is no vaccine or medication to protect against leishmaniasis.
Travellers are cautioned to avoid contact with animals, including dogs, monkeys, snakes, rodents, and bats. Certain infections found in some areas in South America, like rabies, can be shared between humans and animals.
Crowded conditions can increase your risk of certain illnesses. Remember to wash your hands often and practice proper cough and sneeze etiquette to avoid colds, the flu and other illnesses.
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV are spread through blood and bodily fluids; practise safer sex.
Tuberculosis is an infection caused by bacteria and usually affects the lungs.
For most travellers the risk of tuberculosis is low.
Travellers who may be at high risk while travelling in regions with risk of tuberculosis should discuss pre- and post-travel options with a health care provider.
High-risk travellers include those visiting or working in prisons, refugee camps, homeless shelters, or hospitals, or travellers visiting friends and relatives.
Private hospitals and clinics in urban centres are often better staffed and equipped than public or rural facilities. Physicians and hospitals often expect immediate cash payment for medical care.
The decision to travel is the sole responsibility of the traveller. The traveller is also responsible for his or her own personal safety.
Be prepared. Do not expect medical services to be the same as in Canada. Pack a travel health kit, especially if you will be travelling away from major city centres.
You are subject to local laws. See Arrest and detention for more information.
Penalties for possession, use or trafficking of illegal drugs are strict. Convicted offenders can expect lengthy jail sentences, regardless of the amount of narcotics seized at arrest.
Pack your luggage yourself and keep it with you at all times. Do not carry anything through customs for anybody else.
Prison conditions in Peru are poor.
Foreigners are required to carry identification at all times. Be cautious when you carry your passport, especially in entertainment venues. A photocopy of your passport—specifically the information, visa and entry stamp pages—is generally acceptable. However, police may require that you produce the original. Failure to show identification could result in detention and police questioning at the nearest station where fingerprints would be taken.
You should respect local customs and laws when visiting Peru's historical sites. Fines and other penalties may be imposed by Peruvian authorities for any actions considered to be disrespectful at historical and archaeological sites such as Machu Picchu, Saqsayhuaman, and Ollantaytambo.
Peruvian law strictly prohibits the export of antiques and artefacts (huacos) from pre-colonial civilizations. Travellers who purchase reproductions of colonial or pre-colonial art should buy only from reputable dealers and should insist upon documentation from Peru's National Institute of Culture showing that the object is a reproduction and may be exported.
The export of coca tea bags is prohibited and it is illegal to remove certain fauna and flora items from Peru.
An international driving permit is recommended.
The currency is the Peruvian nuevo sol (SOL). The US dollar is widely accepted. Credit cards are widely accepted in Lima, but less so outside major cities. Travellers cheques are not widely accepted. In small towns, automated banking machines (ABMs) may not be readily available. ABMs in large cities may accept out of country bank cards and credit cards. You should inform your banking company of your travel prior to departing and confirm whether you will be able to use ABMs in Peru. Credit card skimming is also a concern and travelers should keep their credit cards within sight while making transactions.
Avoid moneychangers on the street, as they may carry counterfeit currency or work with pickpockets. Bystanders have been injured during violent robberies targeting these individuals.
Counterfeit currency in both nuevo soles and U.S. dollars is a growing and serious problem. Counterfeit bills are widely distributed, including by banks, casinos and local stores. Tourists should be aware of the security features of the currency they are using and be aware of scams involving switching legitimate bills with counterfeit.
Peru is located in an active seismic zone and is prone to earthquakes. If you are indoors when an earthquake strikes, make your way to a safe zone. These are usually marked in public buildings with an "S", which indicate where the structural pillars are located. If you are outside, keep away from buildings and other areas where objects could fall.
The rainy season extends from November to May in the Peruvian Andes. Heavy rains, flooding, landslides and corresponding transportation delays are likely to occur. During flooding, transportation, utilities, emergency and medical care, as well as food, fuel and water supplies, may be disrupted. Water-borne and insect-borne diseases may also become a threat. Keep informed of regional weather forecasts and plan accordingly.

DonJoy RocketSoc Ankle Support Brace$49.99For common and acute ankle injuries. Uses straps to prevent lateral ankle sprains without restricting range of motion.
Ankle Braces and Supports
The ankles are one of the most commonly injured areas of the body because they support your weight while you run, jump, turn and pivot. In essence, your ankle is involved in almost all aspects of movement. Wearing ankle braces designed to protect the ankle can help reduce your chances of injury. Ankle braces are ideal for athletes and those who simply just need some extra ankle support. If you've sprained or injured your ankle in the past, you may be more susceptible to injuries in the future. (You can learn more about ankle sprains here.)

Ankle sprains are one of the most common injuries seen amongst individuals in all age groups; in fact, roughly 25,000 people sprain their ankle a day. Sprains can occur when participating in regular daily activities and range in a levels of severity. For instance, stepping on an uneven surface or awkwardly losing your balance can both in fact can lead to severe sprains. If swelling occurs, pain is felt when pressure is placed on the ankle, if you felt a "pop" when the initial injury happened, there is a good chance that you may have a more severe sprain than you thought. With that being said, not only is it highly imperative to care of your injuries effectively, it is extremely important to efficiently monitor and properly care for your ankles, and all of your joints for that matter, before an injury actually occurs. You can get more information on proper care for other joints that may be easily susceptible to everyday injuries such as your knees here.
There are times where a sprain can cause an excruciating amount of pain which may lead you to wonder if you may have actually broken your ankle or not. A sprain can actually be difficult to differentiate from a broken bone or fracture without an x-ray, but if you have injured your ankle and are unable to bear any weight on the injured joint or if there is a significant amount of swelling and/or change in the shape, you should seek medical attention immediately to rule out the possibility of a fracture or break. Most ankle sprains will not require surgery, if taken care of properly, and minor sprains are generally best treated with a proper brace and/or rehabilitation program; all of this depends on the amount of ligaments injured and the grade of your sprain. On that note, let's take a look into what a sprained ankle actually is:
A sprained ankle can be described as one or more ligaments on the outer side of your ankle being either torn or stretched when an injury or strain occurred in the region of the body. Typically the ankle is rolled outward or inward when the actual sprain occurs; these are known as an eversion or inversion sprains. When the pain originates on the outer side of the ankle, chances it is the most common type of sprain, an inversion sprain. On the other hand, if the pain occurs more along the inner side of the ankle may actually indicate a more serious injury to your tendons or even the ligaments that support the arch; if your pain is felt more in the outer region of your ankle, you will always want to be seen and evaluated by a medical professional.
Properly treating your sprained ankle can help prevent any chronic pain and/or instability that can develop over time. For a general sprain (class or Grade 1) there are basic guidelines that should be followed to properly manage your injury. Always rest your injured ankle as often as you can (remember, rest means do not walk or put pressure on your ankle). If necessary, crutches can be used and if there is not a fracture involved it can be safe to put some weight on the leg. An ankle brace will also highly assist your healing process as well as by monitoring the pain. The ankle brace generally will control the swelling while simultaneously adding stability to the healing ligaments. If you are suffering from a sprained ankle it is important to also remember to ice your injury, this will help keep the swelling down. Do not put ice directly on the skin however, use a thin piece of cloth between the ice pack and your skin and try not to ice it any longer than in 20 minute intervals. Compression can also help substantially control the swelling and support and immobilize your injury. Finally, elevating the foot will reduce swelling as well as decrease the pain. You can elevate your foot properly by reclining and propping it above the waist or heart to insure its effectiveness. Any injury to your body should be evaluated and treated properly to ensure there isn't any long term damage, ankle sprains especially.

Cozumel Atlantis Submarine Adventure
For an alternative to swimsuits and "in the water" ocean experiences, try the Cozumel submarine tour as this excursion tops the list for seeing the beauty of Cozumel's underwater world without getting wet! Featuring a 48 passenger submarine, Atlantis XII, offers you a chance to experience why Cozumel remains one of the top dive destinations in the world. Diving to depths of up to 100 feet, the Atlantis submarine brings you up close and personal with Cozumel's top attraction Chankanaab coral reef which is an incredible section of the second largest reef system in the world: the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System
The Chankanaab reef is part of a protected underwater marine park established along the west coast of Cozumel to protect the delicate balance of its dazzling coral and countless species of tropical fish. The ocean currents help maintain crystal clear visibility of up to 200 feet on many days. While on this comfortable, safe submarine voyage to the ocean floor, look out the extra-large viewing ports of the Atlantis XII submarine and enjoy the wonders of the deep that exist around Cozumel.
Your submarine dive adventure begins on board ferry vessel Ana that will take you on a 12 minute cruise along Cozumels west coast to catch up with your submarine. Upon arriving at the Chankanaab reef dive site you are transferred to the Atlantis Submarine where you will have the opportunity to view this underwater paradise through large windows in air-conditioned comfort. Marvel at the huge variety of tropical fish including parrotfish, grunts, and groupers as your captain expertly navigates through magnificent 30 foot coral heads and travels along sea walls teeming with marine life. Enjoy all this in the air-conditioned comfort of your submarine excursion.
Throughout your submarine voyage an informative, live narration is provided by an experienced co-pilot who will be happy to answer any questions. You will not want to forget your cameras for a once-in-a-lifetime glance into this amazing undersea world. After a 40-minute dive the Atlantis submarine will resurface where the ferry vessel is waiting to return to the Atlantis Submarine Pier.
We invite you to experience why Cozumel is one of the top five scuba diving destinations in the world. Submerge 100 feet underwater and enjoy the magic onboard a real US Coast Guard Certified Atlantis submarine as you make the underwater journey to experience Chankanaab reef in Cozumel.

What a great Experience!!! We booked our excursions through this website with a slight bit of apprehension. We figured it would be safer to book through our cruise ship since this was our first time going to Cozumel. Boy am I so thankful we didn't. Our cruise ship (which we thoroughly enjoyed) had many excursions organized with tons of people in each excursion. By booking through Cozumel Insider we were definitely given smaller groups to be with. We did the Atlantis Submarine excursion that we booked and payed 79 dollars for BOTH my wife and I. It was 89 PER PERSON on our Carnival Cruise ship. We saved almost 100 dollars right there!!! Next year we will definitely book through Cozumelinsider, we will recommend this company to all our friends,
Dr. Marvin Carson ~ Tullahoma, Tennessee
March, 2007- Wanted to report back about our excursions you booked for us. We loved the
submarine tour. Being able to go down 100' was incredibly exciting! We saw a
turtle and a few large groupers. The reefs were really beautiful, so glad
we did this.
Jennifer Lansing ~ Palo Verdes Estate, California
We just returned from our Cruise and wanted to drop you a note to say thanks for booking the Atantis for us. It was a great excursion at a great price and a smooth transaction. Thanks Again.

bad instruction book
By not too swift
from Falls Church VA
It took me a while to figure out how to "finalize" the recorded DVD so it could be replayed in another unit other than the original unit. The manual says that if the recording is not "finalized" it would nor play back in other than the original unit, but it did not explain that after recording, one has to go to "setup" and select "finalize".
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Not a bad machine
By JJ
from New York, NY
The recording instructions in the manual are completely indecipherable. Only through an hour of trial and error were we able to figure out how to record a DVD from the VHS. The easiest way to do it is (1) insert the DVD and it will format itself (2) insert the VHS and hit play (3) press the "dubbing" button on the remote and don't do anything else.

best conversion device or program I have ever used and have used several. Very easy to operate and the results are great. Real time conversion of home movies on vhs or vhs-c ( with a converter ) to dvd. great quality!

Complicated to Operate
By JustJac
from Chicago
This unit is only for "home" movies. Will not convert store purchased VHS movies. Very very complicated to operate. I'm returning it.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: While we regret that this product didn't delight you, we are gratified that you took advantage of our unconditional Lifetime Guarantee. Although our goal is your complete satisfaction with every product, we understand you may encounter the rare occasion when an item doesn't meet your expectations.

Get your VHS tapes to DVDs asap
By Petra
from Washington, DC
This converter is nice, but found one that hooks directly into my home computer which I can EDIT the tapes before burning on DVD. If you just want to take what you have on VHS and put everything onto a DVD, then this is an easy product. If you want to edit, title, organize, then this isn't your best bet.

Great product for converting VHS to DVD
By Lizann
from Philadelphia
I used this to convert my VHS home movies to DVD. Was simple to use once I looked in the direction booklet under "dubbing" (not recording). Also does a good job of playing VHS taped and DVD's. Have not tried to record a program to a DVD but the directions seem simple. Make sure you finalize the disc after you record or you cannot view it on other machines.

Great Purchase
By Jeri the Quilter
from Rhinelander, WI
We have had the VHS To DVD Converter for about a week and have converted more than 20 VHS family videos to DVD. Although we have not tried all of the features of the unit, everything we have used has been easy to use and has worked better than we had anticipated. The instructions are very good, providing step-by-step direction for each application. This unit is well worth the money.

Good Product, Bad Documentation
By RT

The User Manual is very hard to understand if you are not an electrical engineer or something similar. I can dub a VCR to a DVD but have not yet been able to figure out how to copy my VHS C tapes on to one DVD. The user guide is not helpful!THE USER GUIDE IS NOT HELPFUL!!!!

Great product to own
By john
from Fremont California
Great for use to convert VHS to DVD most especially if you have "unforgetable memories" caught on VHS (like what I have) and also this product would serve as a VHS player/recorder (if you still have the kind of vhs camcorder, whcich I still have & am still using) and as an extra DVD player/recorder.
