It is a human anatomical fact that the body contains three hundred and sixty joints. Of those three hundred and sixty joints in the body there are 76 spine and pelvis joints, 64 in both upper limb extremities and 62 in the body's lower extremities.
If you were to do the math, this means that there are 202 joints in the human body or 202 opportunities for something to go wrong with the body's ability to move and 202 possibilities in which something could happen to cause the individual to experience pain. Therefore, it is important to know about the significance of joint, joint pain and what are some of the remedies that can be taken to not only prevent joint pain, but treat joint pain when such occurrences happened.
The Importance of the Joints
The joints in the human body are actually hinges that allow the body to be mobile. This mobility is an important aspect of humanity as it allows the person to be active in the workplace, in leisure activities, participating in sporting events and simply adding to the quality of one's life.
Specifically, the joint is a combination of two separate bones coming together and separated by a substance call cartilage. Additionally, the bones are held together to each other by ligaments and the muscles are held together to the bone by tendons.
Together this whole process allows for the individual to walk, move, be active, etc. When this process works well it is pain free and therefore the individual does not take notice because there is no attention brought to normalcy.
What Causes Joint Pain
However, joint injuries do occur. These joint injuries could be as a result of improper movements which put strain on the joint, twisting or spraining of the joint or there can be damage to the cartilage which reduces the cushion between the joints and causes inflammation. Consequently, this inflammation causes pain when the individual tries to move.
Another factor that can lead to joint pain is various types of diseases of the body. One such disease could be arthritis. Also, if an individual is carrying a little bit too much weight this can add stress on the various joints in the body, knees, hips, etc. and therefore causing pain in these joint areas.
Remedies to Address Joint Pain
There are many remedies available to an individual to help address any joint pains that they are experiencing. Some of those remedies could include the use of medications or topical gels to alleviate the symptoms of the joint pain. However, these remedies simply address the pain but don't deal with the problem or the root of the pain. Additionally, it would be helpful to the individual to consider the loss of weight to help relieve any undue stress that is being experienced by the joints due to additional weight being carried.
In addition, there are many products available on the market that is designed to help the individual who is experiencing joint pain. One specific product that has been proven to be very effective in helping to relieve joint pain is the product known as WalkFit Platinum.
WalkFit Platinum is a dynamic product that guarantees the benefits of its actions to those individuals experiencing joint pain in their feet, legs, hips and back. This product has been scientifically designed to provide the action of absorbing shock and cushioning the integral parts of the body that are experiencing joint pain.
The individual only needs to insert the product into their shoe. WalkFit Platinum will do the rest by providing, as an insert into the shoe, cutting edge and dynamic support with additional cushioning to the heel as provided by extra gel.
Also, available are three sets of arch inserts. Each of these inserts can be customized and manufactured to provide personal individual comfort.
Researchers have found that the pain that individuals are experiencing in their joints can be pinpointed back to the misalignment of one's feet. Therefore, through the use of WalkFit Platinum and placing this miraculous product in one's shoe they will find that other parts of their body will feel the effects of realignment along with the realignment of the feet.
Specifically, this product will help to alleviate pain in the lower back, properly align the shoulders and the back area of the individual, reduce pressure placed on the knees, affect the hips by balancing these critical joints and envelop the feet for enhanced stability.
The message and outcome of using WalkFit Platinum is that by cushioning the feet, not only will the feet find comfort, but the trauma experienced by the entire body through the resulting shockwaves when walking will be reduced significantly. In addition, this fantastic product will help with an even distribution of the individual's weight. This will have the dramatic effect of minimizing pressure points, rubbing and stress. It accomplishes this outcome by spreading out the weight of the body proportionately.
Why Buy This Product?
The simple answer to this question is that it works. The proven success of this product is based on a number of clinical trials that have shown this product's effectiveness in helping to relieve foot, back, hip, knee, and leg pain through its use. This independent clinical study was conducted on individuals who were experiencing pain in their joints and back. When these individuals who were involved in the case study utilized WalkFit Platinum into their daily routine a favorable rating of 97% or higher was recorded.
In addition, many satisfied customers who use this product have posted various glowing reviews of the life-changing dimension that utilizing this product has brought to their lives. Some reviews include words such as 100% satisfied, ankles no longer hurting, knees no longer hurting, I am no longer falling or tripping, and inferences of having a new lease on life have all been recorded.
Finally, one added benefit of using WalkFit Platinum is additional positive side effects. Those positive side effects include a reduction in the formation of bunions, corns and calluses. In addition, those individuals using this product report that there is less of a burning sensation in their feet.

I took a look at PFF's signature stats but, the group all RB's for pass blocking. Leach was #41 with a 92.9 Efficiency rating. In 2011, he was #15 with a 96.8 rating.
There were only a couple of FB's, who I knew ranked very high in Hynoski from the Giants, and Ellison from Minny. The vast majority of all the RB's in pass protect was only in the range of 50 to 170 snaps doing so.

Many of the Baronies within the Kingdoms do demos at schools and such but not so much for the 'public'. It's a historical group so the idea is to find your local group, then attend 'Council' meetings and get to know the people and what they do.
You can find out if your local group has equestrian events (some areas don't, but that doesn't mean you couldn't start one!).
Once you show an interest in participating you will have people at your beck and call working to get your persona (who you are going to be) developed and how to get involved with the group.
I have a close friend who was involved with the PA SCA for years! She was actually apprenticing to be a Knight until her health problems (which always looks funny 'cuz she's a wee little lady!). Then she switched to Seamstress. Anyways, she was going to let me tag along, but then she stop going for personal reasons. Now she lives in Georgia.
I tried talking w/someone involved in the local equestrian SCA. They weren't friendly or really willing to talk w/me.
My other qualm is I think the SCA given timeline for personas isn't as early as I would like for a persona. I think.

- 1/8 tea spoon of ground black pepper
- 1 jar marinated artichoke hearts(6 oz.)
- 3 Table spoon of chopped fresh basil

- 1 can of sliced ripe olives 2.25 oz.
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1/4 tea spoon of hot red pepper flakes crushed
Italian Salsa How to Make It
- Start your Italian salsa by taking a medium bowl, mix tomato, chopped red onion and olives.

Legal Knowledge Strategist, Jean P. O'Grady has a warning for all legal knowledge workers, associates, assistants, paralegals, legal administrators, HR personnel, messengers, word-processors, receptionists and the guys in the mail room.
Beware the seemingly indestructible "white shoe" law firm and use Dewey's imminent demise as the ghost of Christmas Future – how things might be if everyone does not take the lesson and change their ways.
In her perceptive post on the attorneys fleeting en masse from Dewey's sinking ship – Dewey Leboeuf and The Due Diligence Imperative. Let The Job Seekers Beware…Prestige is not enough - O'Grady reminds us that
Since the American Lawyer started the AmLaw 100 in 1986, approximately 10% of the original 100 firms no longer exist.
If the best and the brightest law firms have proven to have a "one-in-ten" odds of collapse in 25 years, I think it is time to reassess how we view law firms as potential employers during the recruiting process.
It is time to take responsibility for our own "due diligence."
The Red Flags
Since even the equity partners are often denied access to the holy of holies – the firm balance sheet – what's a legal secretary to do?
You can start by reading about mergers and attempted mergers, moves of large groups of high-flying lateral partners, defections by the old guard and the one thing that often attracts us – the bling! – offices that look like they cost a million dollars.
They did.
Beware the Art on the Walls
Watch for every penny spent on the wall art, marble floors, granite surfaces, banks of flat screen televisions, and oodles of high tech equipment.

Read Poems by
Robert Johnson
I'm on a ride back to nowhere.
Back where I started from.
Where the ring of truth goes round in circles.
And you just end up a bum.
I've spun my wheels till there's no tread.
Sung for my meals just to get fed.
I'm looking for a place to start without a glimpse of hope.
Somewhere where I can trace my heart to the last knot on the rope.
My bag of tricks to pick up chicks, I gave up years ago.
My reputation, I tried to fix, but you know how it goes.
The absolute of yesterday's all anybody knows.
And now my lifes a patch work quilt of someone elses clothes.
I'm on the road to better days if I can find my way.
From where the past left me aghast with nothing left to say.
My hopes and dreams hung on moonbeams are fading in the sun.
Life's not alway's just what it seems when your living on the run.
Maybe someday the air will clear so I can finally see.
That over there away from here, I'll come to know it's me.
That pulls the strings when the truth rings of what was meant to be.
And this bird fly's up to the sky's to finally be free.

The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga football team picked up a transfer just over a week before the start of preseason camp today. Head Coach Russ Huesman announced the signing of Daniel Ring, a 6-3, 275 pound, defensive lineman from Navy who is eligible to play immediately.
"We are excited to get Daniel in our program," stated Huesman. "He is a talented player who has experience playing at a high level. He should be able to step in and help our program immediately."
Ring is a native of Lighthouse Point, Fla., and spent the previous two seasons at the Naval Academy. He played in all 13 games as a redshirt freshman in 2012. He started three games at nose tackle, including the final two of the season.
Ring finished the season with 17 tackles, including two for a loss and one sack. He had three solo stops in start in the win against Army.
The Mocs' already loaded defense gets stronger with the addition of Ring. UTC returns 10 starters to a defensive side that was among the top units in the FCS in 2012. The Mocs were 10th in the nation in total defense, allowing just 307.9 yards per game. Chattanooga was also 18th in the country in scoring defense (20.4 ppg) and 12th in the FCS in passing defense (166.0).
UTC opens the season on Thursday, Aug. 29, against UT Martin. Kickoff is set for 7:00 p.m. (E.D.T.) at Finley Stadium. Tickets are on sale now on GoMocs.com or by calling the UTC Ticket Office at (423) 266-MOCS (6627).

Gus finds an ally in Alan-Michael. Coop has a surprise for Ava. Mel has a proposition for Jeffrey. Harley worries about Gus.
Marina and Mallet have been sent out to look for the missing baby. Gus initially ducks behind the counter at CO2 as they approach. He stashes the baby and then reappears to offer them coffee. They tell him about the missing baby and he asks them to let him know if they find anything. Gus gets a room at Towers and, while he brings the baby in, Alan-Michael walks by and spots him. Jokingly, he asks Gus whose baby he is stealing. Gus gives a lengthy convoluted explanation of why he has a baby in the room with him, but Alan-Michael doesn't believe him for a minute. While Alan-Michael helps to change a diaper, Gus explains the real reason he took the baby. Alan-Michael gets on the phone to his attorney, 'if you're going to fight to keep this kid, you're going to need my help.' Gus asks him what he hopes to gain. He answers that he's had experience with fathers that didn't want their kids and will do everything he can to make sure a child is with parents that want it. Gus walks him to the door when he finds Dinah and her camera crew lurking in the hallway. He sends her away and promises to help her next week as the nurse arrives. He leaves her to look after the baby while he runs an errand.
Ashlee brings Dinah a rough cut of The Law. Ashlee puts it on and remarks that Marina and Mallet really have a lot of chemistry together. Dinah asks her if she values her job or her life more; she needs to stop saying things like that.
Coop gives Ava her birthday present but she wants to forget that it's her birthday. She's reluctant to open her gift, but when she does, she finds two tickets to England. Coop has re-applied and been accepted to Oxford. He wants them to move in January. She doesn't know how to feel about this. Later, they pick up their Christmas tree and she falls while they're carrying it. He helps her up and reminds her that it's their anniversary. She's surprised that he remembered. He urges her again to come to England with him and she finally says 'yes' and jumps into his arms.
A rough looking Jeffrey wakes up on the floor outside of his room. He manages to raise himself up and crawl inside to pass out again with his St. Jude's medal in his hands. He wakes up later and can't find his shirt. There's a knock at the door: It's Mel. She says that she's 'come in peace' and asks what's wrong with him. He's lost everything. She tells him that she is divorcing Rick and makes a pass at him. He warns her off; she shouldn't get involved with him: He 'ruins women'. 'Maybe that's what I want,' she tells him. She's tired of being responsible; she's changed. But Jeffrey reminds her that they've been in this situation before and it didn't work. She should stay her solid, respectable self and leave him. Undissuaded, she threatens to take her clothes off right there if he doesn't agree to come to dinner with her that evening.
Mallet arrives at Harley's door after she calls him. She begins to go off on him over Gus' excessive workload. She can't believe that they made him work all night. A befuddled Mallet explains that Gus wasn't at work all night and isn't at work right now; he just saw him nervously drinking coffee. Harley starts to worry. An overly chipper Dinah arrives to deliver Mallet's lunch. He asks her if she's just being nice to get Harley on her show, but she says 'no'. When Mallet lets slip that Gus was out all night, Dinah launches into a list of all the things he could be doing and all the ways that Harley could catch him. Her paranoia seems contagious, but Harley tries to convince herself that she isn't the jealous type. Dinah rushes off and Mallet tells Harley not to be paranoid like her. Harley tells him about Bailey Brook and Mallet teases her by asking if Gus' secret was that he wasn't a virgin before he met her. She tells him that his record was sealed. Mallet says Gus was probably just a stripper and laughs before leaving. She starts to pace and can't shake the suspicion that Gus was up to no good. She begins searching his pockets to no avail. Gus interrupts the search and asks her 'if I did something you didn't like, you'd forgive me right?' Harley is in a panic, Gus has something to confess. He's tried not to be idiotic since they got married but�She assumes he was with Bailey Brook, but he says that he wasn't with her. Before he can explain, the police begin knocking at the door and he says that they have to run now and they climb out the window.
Jeffrey has gone out to get a coffee at CO2. Coop reluctantly serves him and tells him that he and Ava are moving to England 'indefinitely.' Jeffrey tries to say that this is 'good' but is having difficulty. He starts to ask a lot of questions; he's concerned that they're moving across the world when they've never even lived together. Coop accuses him of trying to relieve his guilty conscience; he doesn't deserve a daughter like Ava and has to stay away. Jeffrey is about to protest, but he remembers his promise to Olivia to stay out of Ava's life and stops himself from getting involved.
Dinah and Ashlee are walking along while Ashlee is making salacious storyline suggestions. They spot Mallet and Marina walking toward them and Ashlee makes more suggestive remarks about them which Dinah doesn't appreciate. Mallet tells Dinah to stop being so suspicious about everything and she announces that she is going to do a show about how to spot a cheater.
Ava arrives at Alan-Michael's office and he compliments her on the work that she's been doing lately. She informs him that she is moving to England with Coop; she'll find him a replacement before she leaves. He's disappointed; he though she really had a future at Spaulding. She says that, right now, her future is with Coop. When she leaves, he cancels the vacancy she's announced and says that he's not ready to lose her yet. She returns to Coop who has a sandwich with a birthday candle in it waiting for her. He wishes her happy birthday yet again while Jeffrey watches sullenly from the shadows.
Mel meets up with an eager Rick, who expects her to tell him she's set up marriage counseling sessions. He's dismayed to find out that she wants to tell him about Jeffrey. He asks her how long she's been sleeping with him. She hasn't; she wanted too, but she couldn't. She's leaving the hospital and going into business with Jeffrey. They'll set up their own law firm in town. Rick is not happy and Mel storms away.

i have noticed a huge trend in bike thieves wearing helmets, ya'know saftey first before stealing, i got a feeling he's getting his bike nicked off him, where is the other 2 guys bike gear? and why would he try and steal 2 bikes? There isn't even a video of him trying to steal the bikes, the videoing conveniently happens after this takes place, by someone who is clearly a friend of theres. Pinkbike are clearly promoting a happy slapping video here. Just goes to show how retarded people on here actually are. In the video, you got one guy that resembles an ape, another guy with tattoo's who thinks he's jackie chan and a guy with a cheap and nasty camcorder that doesn't record in 1080p thinking he's mr hard -_-

sounds good to me. Grips, saddles and shorts are just a bit bland for a review section imo, hope we see some stuff put head to head with similar products though

Pinkbike, you may get these items for free and to test, but these are all down to personal comfort and not to how a reviewer see's them. Expensive or cheap it doesn't matter, mix some bike components in with these type of items like budget forks and an OTT priced set of brakes, and actually maybe compare them to the nearest rival. It's heading onto winter, i don't need new shorts, why would i change my grips when they are comfy and then risk buying uncomfy ones.

How much longer will these last over my £5 pair of biking shorts? mine have served me well for 3 years, not quite sure they'll beat it, and mine are hella comfy too. whats the crash resistance like, think they should be put through a wood chopper and if they stand up to it, then worth the money imo

Adding to a steady drumbeat of criticism from conservatives, the right-leaning editorial page of The Wall Street Journal hammered the Romney campaign on Thursday, saying it is "slowly squandering an historic opportunity."
The jumping off point for the criticism was Romney adviser Eric Fehrnstrom, seemingly in agreement with President Obama, proclaiming earlier this week that the mandate in the 2010 health care law is a penalty and not a tax. On Wednesday, Romney reversed course, saying it was, indeed, a tax. The Journal surmises that Romney's "fear of being labeled a flip-flopper" led his campaign to initially go with the "penalty" stance.
"The Romney campaign thinks it can play it safe and coast to the White House by saying the economy stinks and it's Mr. Obama's fault," the editorial reads. "Meanwhile, the Obama campaign is assailing Mr. Romney as an out-of-touch rich man, and the rich man obliged by vacationing this week at his lake-side home with a jet-ski cameo. Team Obama is pounding him for Bain Capital, and until a recent ad in Ohio the Romney campaign has been slow to respond."
The criticism comes after Rupert Murdoch, who owns The Journal, complained on Twitter on Sunday that the Romney camp was too insular. "Tough O Chicago pros will be hard to beat unless he drops old friends from team and hires some real pros. Doubtful," Murdoch said of Romney. Former General Electric chairman Jack Welch also chimed in with a tweet in support of Murdoch's position.
The Romney campaign has pushed back against the calls for a shake-up, saying that they respect the views of other conservatives but have no plans to make any changes at this point.

Pre-Workshop Survey
In order to prepare for the Collaborative Processes Framework Workshop on June 3 and 4 in Washington D.C., we would like to gather information on three key questions.
- What are the various collaborative processes that you know of, have access to, might use, or have used in your Bureau?
- How do you define the various collaborative processes that currently exist?
- How does your bureau, or office within your bureau, currently use one or more of the processes you defined?
- What resources do you draw on (in-house or consultant resources) to undertake these processes?
Your responses will help us develop the agenda for the workshop, various draft products to be used in the workshop, and to help us, your facilitators, understand the range of views on and uses of collaborative processes across bureaus.
We've included below a bit more detail on each question. If you could, please return responses to Elena Gonzalez no later than May 12.
We should note we've chosen the generic term "collaborative processes" to capture the universe of processes, strategies and tools used to engage multiple parties that we hope to talk about in the workshop. Like all terms, we're sure it's both imprecise and imperfect, but we hope it will work well enough!

if you dont want to get it repaired rob the parts off of it and sell it. The dvd drive is at least worth 50 bucks and you can sell the fan, case, and bluetooth module
Before you launch it I would consider sending it to Nintendo for repairs. Only $75. I don't think anything but boot2 would help you now partner.
if you dont want to get it repaired rob the parts off of it and sell it. The dvd drive is at least worth 50 bucks and you can sell the fan, case, and bluetooth module
I'm in the UK and I haven't got a clue how much it costs here to repair. Good idea about the parts though, I was really impressed with my soldering skills when I put the chip in
It may 'accidently' take a tumble downstairs, I can claim off the insurance then lol. I've had it since they were released in the UK, few years now.
just wait till it tumbles down the stairs and insurance tells you that your deductable is as much as the wii!
£50 Already checked. Also I get to keep my wii apparently.
Ipsa scientia potestas est.
Warning: Piracy is NOT supported. Word your questions carefully.
I can fix your Wii for you if you want, I am in the Netherlands.
Already saved a couple using an infectus.
Or you can buy an infectus yourself and I can help you out on the process.
It is up to you, but the Wii is really not dead yet!
Insurance said they will cover it, but I need an engineer's saying "Yeah, it's true... It's dead"
As soon as I get a piece of paper saying that, I get a new Wii.
Anyone out there that can help with that?
Maybe a console shop like "game" that sells 2nd hand consoles can give a you a report letter? also I recenlty got a 2nd hand wii off ebay for £65 delivered to replace a bricked wii.
Great idea about Game, thanks for that. I've just rung them and they're expecting me tomorrow
I've seen them Wii's on Ebay, think thats the way to go so I can stick my dvd drive into 1 of them.

Sleek and modern, this ceiling light offers an energy efficient LED design for added functionality and convenience.
Featuring an energy efficient LED design, this flushmount ceiling light is a great option for your home. Finished in a classic white, this fixture gives you plenty of versatile options. Use it in a bathroom, kitchen, or hallway.
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
Lights up the 16 x 20 bedroom so well, we're going to be using the same fixtures to light the workshop.
I used these to replace 2 light 32 watt wraparound fixtures in a school hallway. The staff loves the new look, but the light level is barely better than what was there. The diffuser cuts down on the light output dramatically. Be mindful of spacing if using in corridors. As far as home use, these are ideal for medium to large walk in closets, small to medium kitchens and bedrooms. I would like to see them in a higher K rating, but that's my personal preference. I like halogen white light.
Our associates are standing by to assist you.

The Bank of Elk River serves the financial needs of individuals and businesses in Elk River, Otsego, and Zimmerman Minnesota.
Mortgage Loans
The Bank of Elk River offers 30 year Adjustable Rate and 10 year Fixed Rate, in-house mortgages for our customers.
We also work with a vendor for other first mortgage products, including but not limited to, Construction, Conventional, FHA and USDA.
Whether you're a first time home buyer, buying that dream home or lake property, refinancing your home to reduce your monthly mortgage payments or purchasing investment property, we want to help you find the right program for your needs.
Find Out How Much You Can Afford
The first step in obtaining a mortgage is to determine the type and amount of loan for which you qualify for. In the case of buying a home, it is extremely beneficial to determine how much home you can afford even before you begin looking. In doing so, you will be able to have an accurate price point when you are looking for the right home and will be able to begin to establish an accurate budget for homeownership. By completing a mortgage application and gathering a few items, you can be pre-approved to purchase your new home!
When should I refinance?
It is often said that you should refinance when mortgage rates are 1% lower than the rate you currently have on your loan. This is not always the case. Refinancing may be a good option even if the interest rate difference is minimal. Also, you may not be in the best mortgage product for your current financial situation. For example, you might have an ARM (adjustable rate mortgage) and now you might be better off with a Fixed Rate Mortgage. We can help determine if refinancing is the best option for you at this time.
In-House Mortgages
The in-house mortgages are kept at the bank as part of our loan portfolio. Payments for this type of loan can be made at any of our locations. For more information on these loans, please contact:
Main Street Office:

LIVE UPDATES: Lincoln City v Cambridge United
Posted: April 18, 2014|
It's back-to-back defeats for United. They were better in the second half but couldn't create a decent chance. Lincoln bullied them with their direct, physical style and won the battle.
4.49: 3 mins of added time.
4.48: Norris gets down low to make a good save from Lincoln sub Arthur's shot.
4.46: A Lincoln corner comes to nothing. Time running out for United.
4.41: The 10 men of United have less than 10 mins to get something out of this game. Chances have been few and far between.
4.38: SENT OFF: United's Donaldson has been shown a red card after picking up his second booking for a foul on Adams.
That's United's first red card of the season.
4.36: Silly booking for Lincoln's Sheridan. Time-wasting after he kicked the ball over the hoarding when he had failed to keep in it play.
4.31: Lincoln break after a poor United corner and Tait is dispossessed in the middle of the pitch. But Taylor mops up the danger.
4.25: Big scramble in the United box, but Norris dives on the ball.
4.21: Substitution for United. Barnes-Homer replaces Elliott.
4.16: Chance for Lincoln. Tomlinson scuffs his shot when free at the back post.
4.15: United have started the half much better than the first. They are seeing a lot more of the ball.
4.07: Sam-Yorke got a nice cheer from the home fans when he came on. They appreciate his efforts during his loan spell here.
Sam-Yorke actually took part in the crossbar challenge at half time (he didn't do very well). I hope he had time for a warm-up.
4.06: Roberts is playing centre midfield. It looks like Money has dedcided to match Lincoln's 3-5-2 formation. Sam-Yorke should provide a bit more physicality up front.
4.04: The match is back under way.
4.03: United makes two changes at half time. Sam-Yorke for Chambers and Roberts for Dunk.
Although the penalty was harsh, Lincoln probably deserve their lead. United need to regroup at the break. They've been bullied.
3.47: Donaldson has been booked for diving, trying to win a freekick on the edge of the box. A bit unlucky, he tripped up as he tried to beat two players.
3.45: What I think is United's first shot of the half, comes from Hughes and goes way over the bar.
3.44: Great save from Norris. Tomlinson bursts through one-on-one and Norris makes himself big and blocks the shot.
3.40: This match is a real war, and United are losing the battle at the moment.
3.33: GOAL: Ben Tomlinson scores from the spot. LINCOLN 1 UNITED 0.
3.32: Penalty for Lincoln. A shot hits Bonner and the referee points to the spot for handball. It looked harsh.
Everyone thought the referee was pointing for a goalkick when it should have been a corner, but he was actually giving a penalty.
3.29: Chambers beats three players to set up an attack for United, but it comes to nothing.
3.25: Lincoln have a shout for a penalty for handball. Tom Miller's long throw causes havoc in the box and the ball hits Ian Miller, but the referee waves away the appeals.
3.21: Lincoln go close to taking the lead. Newton's inswinging corner evades everyone and nearly sneaks in at the far post.
3.16. Lincoln right-back Tom Miller has a very long throw, which is a dangerous weapon for the Imps.
3.15 I suspect United will have to play a lot on the break today. Lincoln aren't going to let them play much football in the middle of the park.
3.13: A good inception from Tait leads to a break for United. Elliot can't get his head to Dunk's cross. The ball falls to Chambers but he's offside.
3.10: Power's dangerous cross into the box evades everyone and is gathered by Norris.
3.06: Tom Elliott is down with a head injury after being clattered by Nat Brown in the United box while defending a long throw.
He's okay though and is back on the pitch.
3.05: Lincoln have started well and have had a couple of corners.
3.01: The match is under way.
2.58: The players are out on the pitch and we are ready to go.
2.50: Richard Money wasn't joking when he said they play an air raid siren here. One has gone us, followed by the Dambusters theme tune, ready for the arrival of the players.
2.45: Some quality DJing here, mixing All Together Now by The Farm into the Fools Gold by the Stone Roses.
2.30: The teams are in:
Lincoln City: Nick Townsend, Tom Miller, Nat Brown, Thierry Audel, Sean Newton, Charlee Adams, Arnaud Mendy, Alan Power, Jake Sheridan, Ben Tomlinson, Kris Bright.
Subs: Koby Arthur, Danny Rowe, Dan Gray, Jon Nolan, David Preece.
Cambridge United: Will Norris, Greg Taylor, Tom Bonner, Ian Miller, Ryan Donaldson, Tom Elliott, Harrison Dunk, Richard Tait, Liam Hughes, Luke Berry, Ashley Chambers.
Subs: Kevin Roberts, Delano Sam-Yorke, Nathan Arnold, Josh Gillies, Matthew Barnes-Homer.
There's a few changes of United. Champion, Coulson and Chadwick are all out with knocks. Bonner has come in at the back for Coulson. Tait has replaced Roberts at right-back. Elliott is fit again and Chambers partners him upfront. Fit-again Dunk starts after being on the bench against Kiddminster.
2.20: Welcome to Sincil Bank. It's a glorious day and the players are out on the pitch warming up.

Reduce Unsecured Debt
Friday, 30 July 2010 03:00Many consumers across the country are struggling with their large monthly payment obligations, and are having difficulties even affording the necessities they require to live comfortably. Some are unable to continue to pay their bills on time and are falling behind on their payments for their unsecured debt.
For many consumers, the most difficult types of debt to keep current with are their unsecured debts, mainly their credit cards, medical obligations and personal loans. Unsecured debts are obligations that are not supported by collateral and typically have higher interest rates. Secured debt, on the other hand, is debt that is backed by an asset, such as a home or a car. With secured debt, a creditor can often repossess the collateral if a consumer fails to make payments, and hence the interest rates are lower.
For consumers that are aiming to reduce how much unsecured debt they carry, there are a number of options. Consumers that are carrying several unsecured debt obligations with high interest rates can apply for a debt consolidation loan, in which a bank issues a new loan for enough money to pay off all their outstanding debt balances at once. However, consolidation loans can be difficult to qualify for because they often require a high credit score and sufficient income levels. For consumers that are approved, they can consolidate their debt into one single monthly payment at a lower interest rate. If consumers choose to pay more towards their principal balance every month than the minimum payment, they can get out of debt more quickly.
Another alternative for consumers to reduce unsecured debt is to seek a debt settlement or debt negotiation company that will work with their creditors to structure settlements at a reduced balance. While creditors may not normally consider settling if a consumer inquired directly, debt negotiation firms have relationships with the lenders to help structure these reduced settlements. Lenders would rather receive a partial payback of the balance they are due, rather than risk receiving no payment at all.
Debt negotiation Companies can typically reduce debt by somewhere between 40 and 60 percent of what is owed at the time of settlement. The challenge to this method is that it requires a consumer to have accumulated sufficient savings to make the settlements, which many consumers might not have readily available. Hence, it is very important that individuals find a good debt settlement company that helps them save money from the outset of the program, and thereby represents their best interests.

Debtmerica has had one vision since inception - to help Americans nationwide attain financial independence.
At Debtmerica, we're proud of our achievements and honors. They represent our commitment to our vision and clients.
Top Articles to Help You Lead A Debt-Free Life
- Debt Consolidation: "Debt Consolidation" is one of the most commonly misunderstood and misinterpreted personal finance strategies that consumers inquire about all the time. While some view it as a method of taking on new loans, others see it as a debt relief alternative. It is more important than ever for inquisitive consumers to have a very strong understanding of exactly what debt consolidation entails, and the impacts it can have on personal finances.
- Debt Relief: Debt relief is defined as a partial or total forgiveness of debt. When the term is used by the government, it usually refers to the forgiveness of debt to underdeveloped countries. Recently, it has begun to refer to the millions of consumers who are overwhelmed with debt seeking financial relief from their unsecured debt.
- Credit Card Debt: Credit card debt is an example of unsecured consumer debt, accessed through credit cards. Debt results when a client of a credit card company purchases an item or service through the card system. Debt accumulates and increases via interest and penalties when the consumer does not pay the company for the money he or she has spent.
- Debt Settlement: Debt settlement programs use a third party to negotiate lower balances and interest rates on unsecured debt. This type of debt management plan helps provide consumers an alternative to bankruptcy while reducing your outstanding debt.
- Credit Counseling: There are a numerous options for consumers who want to start getting their finances under control after accumulating large amounts of debt, which could inevitably lead to credit problems further down the road. Consumers who are in control of most aspects of their finances, but still feel like they could use additional help managing their debt burden, could certainly benefit from the assistance of a consumer credit counseling service.
- How Do I Get Out of Debt?: Now that the national economy is beginning to recover and people are having a better time dealing with their personal finances, many consumers who found themselves sunk deep in debt over the last few years may be asking themselves the question, "How do I get out of debt?" Fortunately, there are a number of avenues consumers can take to get out of debt, each with benefits and drawbacks depending on how quickly people need to fix their financial problems.
- 10 Tips to Avoid the Debt Trap: Have you ever thought about why so many of the people you know are struggling with debt? Do you ever wonder why banks keep lending to certain individuals, even when they are falling behind on their payments? Did you know that debt problems are a leading cause of major societal problems, such as stress, divorce and alcoholism?
- Credit Management: Many consumers are finding themselves buried under a pile of mounting debt. With interest accumulating month after month in addition to late fees being charged, many consumers are finding it difficult to make just the minimum payments on their credit cards. Although this may seem like an endless battle, with a strict budget and some discipline there are credit management strategies and solutions that will allow consumers to reduce or even eliminate their debt.
- Credit Card Debt Reduction: In recent months, many Americans have made a greater effort to seek credit card debt reduction and reduce the balances they owe, but some may not know where to start. Fortunately, there are several options available for consumers thathave a financial goal to achieve credit card debt reduction.
- Credit problems: Paying down high levels of debt is one of the best ways to improve credit problems and increase one's credit standing. But many people cannot do that so quickly, especially in this economy. About one-third of a credit score is based off of a credit utilization ratio, which is the total creditbalances divided by the total credit limits. A great target is to use no more than 30% of one's available credit.

Consensual BDSM is not illegal. Adults can do what they please to each other. What changed was the certification of sexual acts on film for the R18 certificate, meaning they can be sold in sex shops. It's not even illegal to film and distribute these internationally. But if you want to sell legally in the UK certain acts will not be permitted.

Diabetes mellitus is a condition where people don't produce enough insulin to meet their body's needs or their cells don't respond properly to insulin. Insulin is important because it moves glucose, a simple sugar, into the body's cells from the blood. It also has a number of other effects on metabolism.
The food people eat provides the body with glucose, which is used by the cells as a source of energy. If insulin isn't available or doesn't work correctly to move glucose from the blood into cells, glucose will stay in the blood. High blood glucose levels are toxic and cells that don't get glucose are lacking the fuel they need. These two problems cause the symptoms of diabetes.
There are two main kinds of diabetes: type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. More than 90% of all people with diabetes have type 2. Overall, about 20 million people in North America have diabetes. Only about two-thirds of people with type 2 diabetes are aware of it and are receiving treatment because, for many people, early symptoms are not noticeable without testing.
Type 1 diabetes occurs when the pancreas cannot make insulin. Everyone with type 1 diabetes requires insulin injections. Type 1 diabetes occurs most commonly in people of northern European ancestry.
Type 2 diabetes occurs when the pancreas does not make enough insulin or the body does not use insulin properly. It usually occurs in adults, although in some cases children may be affected. People with type 2 diabetes usually have a family history of this condition and are most often overweight. People with type 2 diabetes may eventually need insulin injections. This condition occurs most commonly in people of American Indian descent, Hispanics, and North Americans of African descent.
Another less common form is gestational diabetes, a temporary condition that occurs during pregnancy. Gestational diabetes affects about 4% of pregnant women in the United States. The problem usually clears up after delivery, but women who have had gestational diabetes have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disorder. It's believed that a combination of genetic predisposition and additional (as yet unidentified) factors provoke the immune system into attacking and killing the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.
Type 2 diabetes is mainly caused by insulin resistance. This means no matter how much or how little insulin is made, the body can't use it as well as it should. As a result, glucose can't be moved from the blood into cells. Over time, the excess sugar in the blood gradually poisons the pancreas causing it to make less insulin and making it even more difficult to keep blood glucose under control.
Obesity is a leading cause of insulin resistance - 90% of people with type 2 diabetes are overweight. There are probably genetic factors involved in the cause of type 2 diabetes as well. A family history of the disease has been shown to increase the chances of getting it.
Other risk factors for the development of type 2 diabetes include:

Weight Loss Resistance
Nov 19th
Although this may seem contradictory, your brain and body love the idea of getting fatter! Consider this: energy is your most critical resource – it fuels everything you think, feel, and do. Glucose and oxygen are both required by the cells in order to create energy, and if we run out of either it's lights out for the entire system. Therefore, anything the body can do to conserve or preserve this natural energy source makes it more likely to survive in times of famine.
Even though most of us are not actually worried about running out of food anytime soon, the brain is still on high alert just in case. Anytime we go too long without eating this alert system is triggered and a cascade of hormones are released to help us hold on to the resources we have, and seek out more resources (calories) as soon as possible.
Let me create a simple picture for you. You are stranded on a deserted island with no food. Initially you don't feel hungry because your stress response decreases appetite in the beginning in order to help you focus on what needs to be done to take care of whatever emergency you're facing. In time, however, adrenaline wears off and another stress hormone, cortisol, is released along with appetite increasing factors all designed to get us to food quickly, find the most valuable food sources (high sugar, high fat), and load up.
And remember, the brain and body love this idea because it allows us to store more valuable glucose away for future emergencies. What is the storage called? You guessed it – fat
As the brain works hard to find and store extra energy, it also tries to conserve energy by slowing down metabolism, which is done by reducing the amount of fuel the body requires at that time. Only the most essential organs, emotions, and thought patterns get energy in times like these. The result? We may feel sleepy or sluggish, irritable or angry, and have a tough time concentrating.
The greater the stress, the more the brain wants to conserve and preserve energy in our body, and the more likely we are to store and protect our fat. Which means that even if you are dieting, eating things that you believe are healthy for you in smaller portions and moving more often throughout the day, if your stress levels are high you're going to battle against hormones that are designed to make you fat.
In fact, if you add exercise to this already complicated equation you might actually get fatter! Now that's reallyfrustrating. You could be investing precious time and energy, dragging yourself through workout after workout and actually doing more harm than good when it comes to your weight loss efforts.
Why? Because exercise is stressful to the body. And when we are taking care of our needs physically, emotionally, and mentally we are able to tolerate this stress in a way that is healthy and actually makes us stronger as a result. We have more energy, our immune system is enhanced, our heart and lungs more effective, and so on.
However, if you go into exercise already stressed, or if you haven't fueled up before a workout you might end up creating even more weight loss resistance for yourself as your stress levels continue to skyrocket. So now instead of just thinking you are stranded without food, your brain assumes something must be chasing you because it can't imagine why you would exercise just for fun. More stress, more fat.

5 Tips on Making Better Food Choices at Your New Years Eve Party
Dec 30th
With the holiday season wrapping up and a few last minute celebrations like New Years Eve, it is almost impossible to avoid all the delicious offerings. Let's be realistic here, we try to at least have a portion of each dish on our plate, but at the same time we're afraid about affecting our weight. We don't have to avoid all the foods; we just have to make better choices! First thing we must realize is that all the food we eat in one day from a party does not cause us to gain a few extra pounds, it is rather an accumulation of overeating throughout many days and not exercising enough to offset those calories.
When you are at the party, try these tips!
- You don't have to be shy about eating the different dishes if you know it is a high-calorie item. Just limit yourself to just a taste. Obvious high calorie items can be different types of cheeses, or anything that has a filling.
- Look for food items that have been baked instead of deep fried (one coconut shrimp can have the same calories as a dozen cocktail shrimp!)
- If you absolutely have to have dessert, choose a cookie instead of a slice of cake and try to avoid that slice of pie which tends to have the most calories out of these two dessert items.
- At the party, pass up everyday snacks that you have so you can spend your calories on items you want to try.
- And lastly, don't be afraid to turn down your aunt's offer for seconds when you are already full! Your focus should be on maintaining your goal of a healthy lifestyle, not worrying about offending your relative's or friend's feelings if you turn down their offer.

Comfort Foods Made Easy
Sep 13th
Justin Robinson, a strength and conditioning coach & Registered Dietitian for Rehab United and a Nutrition Consultant for Optimal Nutrition Inc./ FITzee Foods was featured on askmen.com last year, check out this great article and see how you can have your comfort food and not feel guilty about it!
Think of your last family get-together (wedding, birthday, funeral); while you may not recall every aspect of the day, you likely remember what your mom or grandma served for dinner. And can you think of a happy hour with your friends that did not involve either appetizers or cocktails? Nearly every social situation in life involves food and, frankly, there is nothing wrong with that. Food is both a necessity and a luxury; we require nutrients to survive, but we also thrive on the delight and satisfaction from certain foods.
Comfort foods remind us of fond times, improves our moods and just tastes good. Comfort foods, however, do not always agree with our healthy lifestyle since they often call for butter and cream in the recipes, are deep-fried or include high-fat meats.
Since we cannot always alter social situations (or other common triggers to eating), we must modify the food if we plan to improve health. Try these recipes for some novel comfort foods made healthily. We guarantee you'll find them just as tasty as their less-healthy counterparts.
Chicken Noodle Soup

Buying Healthy and Organic: Tips to Save Your Money
Jul 19th
As something we've spoken about before, we know that buying foods organic isn't exactly the thrifty option, but there are ways to buy organic without breaking the bank. From coupons to tips from your local grocery store, there are plenty of resources out there to save some of that paycheck for other things. Here are some ways to save from FitSugar.com:
Clip Coupons
Many organic food brands post coupons on their websites you can print out; all you have to do is check the savings or coupons section of the company's site. You may need to install a program, sign up for a newsletter, or answer a short survey, but if you're looking to save some dough, it's worth the time and effort. Here's a list of online coupons for organic food that are available now, which include savings on cereal, bread, dairy products, and more. Also check the websites of your favorite health grocers; very often markets and grocery stores will have in-store coupons available on their site (or in their stores). Never underestimate the power of double coupon day or the amount of money you can save by joining a store's membership rewards program.
Use Social Media
Following your local grocery store on Twitter or Facebook is an easy way to learn about weekly and daily specials. In addition to the smaller health and grocery stores in my area, I also follow larger chains like Whole Foods and Safeway on Twitter, all of which alert customers to sales, price drops, and other specials and events taking place in its stores. Recently I bought five pints of organic blueberries from Whole Foods that were priced at 99 cents per basket; I learned about this sale thanks to the Whole Foods Twitter stream.
The more things you can make from scratch, the better it is for your wallet. Purchase seasonal produce in bulk and you can, pickle, or freeze fruits and veggies to use later. Go a step further by making homemade preserves, marinades, and cooking sauces. Instead of buying pre-made dry mixes, which are often full of preservatives, stock up on different types of flour and grains to create your own. Make your own spice mixes, trail mixes, and soup stock, and try making your own granola, muesli, and cereal. And when it comes to lunch, roast your own sandwich meat and skip bagged salad mixes by chopping up lettuce instead. The possibilities are endless.

Happy & Healthy Cinco de Mayo
May 5th
Posted by michelle in Health and Nutrition
Have a healthy Cinco de Mayo celebration this year…it is possible! Stick with natural and homemade salsa, maybe some grilled lime chicken, or even fresh fish tacos! Using fresh and natural ingredients to cook with will reduce the calories found in modified and processed foods. Here we even offer up some low calorie Margarita Recipes from Health.com so you can enjoy the festivities without the guilt! Most frozen margaritas at restaurants can weigh in at 500 calories or more, but these recipes pack all the cool refreshment in under 200 calories.
STRAWBERRY MARGARITAS: Calories: 198. Strawberries give a delicious splash of sweetness to these traditionally tangy cocktails. And the addition of fruit gives you 3 grams of fiber.
- 3 1/2 cups strawberries
- 2 1/2 cups crushed ice
- 1/2 cup tequila
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons Cointreau (orange-flavored liqueur)
- Lime wedges (optional)
Combine strawberries, ice, tequila, lime juice, sugar, and liqueur in a blender, and process until the mixture is smooth. Pour the margaritas into 4 large glasses. Garnish margaritas with a lime wedge, if desired. Serve immediately.
LIME SORBET MARGARITAS: Calories: 186. This simple recipe can double as an after-dinner cocktail and dessert. Using lime sorbet creates the frozen margarita taste, but keeps the drink at a lean and mean 186 calories.
- 1 lime, cut into 8 wedges
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 pints lime sorbet
- 1/2 cup tequila
Rub the lime wedges around the rims of 8 stemmed glasses. Place the sugar on a small plate. Turn each glass upside down and dip the rims in the sugar to coat. Place 2 scoops of sorbet in each glass and pour 1 tablespoon of tequila over the top of each. Serve with a spoon. Tip: Let everyone dig in. For a nonalcoholic, kid-friendly version of the Lime Sorbet Margaritas, replace the tequila for each glass with 2 tablespoons club soda or seltzer.
MANGO-AVOCADO MARGARITA: Calories: 162. This drink is part smoothie, part margarita, with all the delicious flavors of both. Plus the mango and lime juice pack this sweet drink with vitamin C.
- 2 cups ice cubes
- 1 cup chopped peeled mango (about 1 large)
- 6 tablespoons chopped ripe peeled avocado
- 6 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup tequila
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons Triple Sec (orange-flavored liqueur)
- 4 lime wedges (optional)
Combine first 8 ingredients in a blender; process until smooth. Divide the mixture evenly among 4 glasses. Serve drinks with lime wedges, if desired. Serve immediately.
FROSTY BLENDED MARGARITAS: Calories: 179.
- Lime wedges
- Kosher salt for the glasses' rims
- 1/2 cup juice from Mexican limóns or fresh limes
- 1/4 cup tequila
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Cointreau (orange-flavored liqueur)
- 2 1/2-3 tablespoons superfine sugar
- 12 ice cubes
Run a lime wedge around the edge of each glass. Then dip rims into a saucer filled with the salt. Put the remaining ingredients into a blender; blend until the ice cubes are chipped and the mixture becomes frothy. Pour the mixture into the prepared glasses; garnish with lime.
Let us know how these turn out. Enjoy your Cinco de Mayo celebrations!

Mother With Multiple Sclerosis Loses Her Health Coverage Due to Obamacare
Posted By kurtnimmoadmin On November 29, 2013 @ 2:07 pm In Medical Tyranny,Old Infowars Posts Style | Comments Disabled
November 29, 2013
Please pray for Whitney Johnson. We shared her story on the Sean Hannity show on Friday and have been promoting her story nationwide. Today she sent us an update and prayer request, and she said we could share with you.
She's a beautiful 26-year-old mother with M.S. and, due to ObamaCare, her health plan was canceled. The problems are getting worse. Please read and pray. This is happening to real Americans.
Whitney's request, "Pray for me this morning, I actually just found out moments ago that in order to be added to my husband's insurance (which is the route I thought I was going to be able to go) it is going to cost me $900 per month, and the insurance is awful. It doesn't cover my treatments, and I have to pay $5k out of pocket before any co-insurance even picks up! We simply can not afford $900 per month for my health care alone. I also got word that my friend with type 1 diabetes just got quoted a premium of $600 per month with a $14,000 deductible!!! This is just outrageous. I trust The Lord will provide for me and my family or just heal my body so I no longer need treatments. I ask for you to pray." #teamwhitney
