found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
INITIAL BIO 08/28/2011: Timmy is an adorable little 5 year old 5 lb boy who is being fostered in West Palm Beach, FL. He hasn't been in foster care long, but it appears tiny Tim is housetrained, likes other dogs around his size (he's not a huge fan of hyper dogs), and is very very sweet. Timmy needs bloodwork and a dental/neuter before he will be ready for adoption. He's also very much underweight and should gain about a pound to be at a healthier weight. If you think this handsome fella would be happiest living with you, please submit an application! Thanks! Currently, we feel that it is best that he go into a household with no children under 15 and no larger dogs. Timmy is being fostered in West Palm Beach. Please check back often to see update and what the vet says about our latest little angel!
Timmy, a West Palm Beach Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier for sale in West Palm Beach, or seeking a Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier dog from a breeder in West Palm Beach.

Fantastic first cruise!: Carnival Fantasy Cruise Review by baritone77
Overall Member Rating
Fantastic first cruise!
Destination: Bahamas
Embarkation: Charleston
Here's a few points:
They do charge a gratuity at the end of your trip, which was around 11.50 or so per day/per guest. So unless you are so moved by above and beyond service, don't feel the need to tip for everything.
We did feel the "motion of the ocean" for a couple of days, but it wasn't extreme. If you get slightly sea-sick, you might want to consider bringing something with you
Our trip was pretty windy at times, and although the weather was beautiful, it did get a bit chilly at times, so you might want to bring a light sweater with you.
We would have liked to have seen a few more activities for adults, but when we found ourselves wandering with nothing to do, we sat on the deck in the sun and got a great tan.
The shows were pretty good, but I wouldn't say they were the best I've ever seen. Having said that, please go to the shows! They are entertaining and the performers were extremely enthusiastic!
If they have a "Farewell Fun Party" on your cruise on the last day, GO! There are free drinks and the house band plays a variety of music to dance to!
Some reviewers commented on the "aggressiveness" of the staff (particularly the photographers), but we never felt overly harassed and accosted. Yes, they want to take your picture often, but you are not charged for the photos unless you want to buy one! If the waiters stop and ask if you want something from the bar, simply say "no thank you" if you don't want anything and they move on quickly.
The pool area could get a bit crowded, so finding a deck chair could be tricky.. but keep walking and you will find a spot.
With such a bargain cruise, you will get certain cruisers who have limited to no tact. It was particularly annoying during one comedy show when one guy decided to engage the comic by constantly commenting on what he was saying. The comic hilariously shut the guy up finally, but there was a couple of "seriously dude, shut up" moments. As one of the staff mentioned during the art auction, there is a fine line between being engaging and being obnoxious.. they will tell you when you cross the line. Speaking of art auction, be careful with this one. They have a raffle for "free art" and they will have these "specials" that you might consider to be a pretty good deal, but what they don't tell you until you schedule and appointment to pick up your "free art" is that you can't carry the artwork with you.. you have to PAY for it to be shipped to you (cheapest being $35 for unframed artwork) If you have it framed, you are looking at at least 100 bucks extra. It was a fun experience, but just know that "free art" is not free, and if you win a raffle, be sure to ask if there is shipping cost involved. I could write more, but I realize this review is getting a bit long :) I'm open to questions if you have any!
Overall, the trip was fantastic and I highly recommend Carnival Fantasy!! Less

|Seller's Description
This is a brand new and improved version of the original SGS compensator that was made in Italy in the 80s. The basic SGS style compensator is designed for use with any full sized Beretta 92 Series (9mm only) pistol with a standard dust cover and a 4.9" factory barrel. This compensator can also be used on a Taurus PT92 and PT99 pistol with or without a rail. In addition to this basic SGS style compensator, we are also making a new "wide body" SGS style compensator (it is only 1/8th" wider than the regular one) for the 9mm Beretta pistols which have a rail built into the dust cover (Vertec, M9A1, 92G-SD, etc.) AND a brand new version of the basic wide body compensator which has been specifically designed for use on the new Beretta Model 92A1. This auction is for ONE of the regular SGS style compensators, however, the high bidder/buyer may substitute for one of the wide body compensators if they are available. One of the unique features of the SGS design is that it does NOT require a threaded barrel. Several of these compensators have been sold in California. It should go without saying, but the Beretta pistol the compensator is mounted on in the pictures is NOT included as part of this sale. The SGS compensator is the same compensator that was used on Leon's two Beretta pistols in the movie "The Professional". This is not some cheap Chinese knockoff of the original SGS compensator. These new SGS style compensators are made locally and are superior to the original SGS compensators in every way. There are no other dealers and the only place you can buy one of these SGS style compensators is from me. These compensators are made in the US by Americans out of some of the best materials money can buy and CNC machined to a high quality standard. The compensator is made out of 7075 T-6 aircraft grade aluminum alloy. The bushing which is press fit and pinned at the back of the compensator is made out of 4140 heat treated steel. The special elongated guide rod is made out of 316 stainless steel. The special retaining screw has been redesigned to make it stronger and is made out of 17-4 stainless steel. All other components are made out of steel. These compensators are normally finished with a Mil. Spec. Type III, Class 2, hard coat black anodized finish, but can be provided with a satin silver bead blasted finish on request. The regular compensators are made with the original SGS factory "gap" and come completely packaged with the new improved guide rod and retaining screw assembly, a new improved Nord Lock lock washer, an assembly pin, an allen wrench, and a reworked copy of the original SGS instruction sheet. These compensators have been shipped literally all over the world (Canada, Australia, France, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, South Africa, etc.) without any problem. International buyers are welcome, but will be charged an extra shipping fee. Anyone who is interested in learning more about how these new SGS style compensators came to be made in the first place can read the original "SGS Compensator Project" thread which is posted in the Beretta Smithing & Maintenance section of the Beretta Forum. http://www.berettaforum.net/vb/showthread.php?t=34977 In addition, anyone who is considering buying one of the new SGS style compensators and would like to learn more about them and what to expect should read the original "WTS: Brand New SGS Style Compensators" thread which is posted in the Classified section of the Beretta Forum. This thread contains lots of good information and includes pictures, feedback from buyers, lessons learned, warnings, and other information you need to know. http://www.berettaforum.net/vb/showthread.php?t=43353 There are more pictures and more feedback from buyers in a WTS thread which was posted as a "sticky" in the classified section of the Beretta Forum until it was closed. This thread was nine pages long when it was closed and the most current information can be found at the end of the thread. http://www.berettaforum.net/vb/showthread.php?t=50075&page=9 Finally, anyone who would like to learn more about what to expect from using one of these compensators can read the two part range report on the new SGS style compensator which is also posted on the Beretta Forum. Range day today, teaching a friend to shoot. SGS Surprise. Part 1 http://www.berettaforum.net/vb/showthread.php?t=47276 Range Day Today..SGS Surprise for New Shooter, Part 2 http://www.berettaforum.net/vb/showthread.php?t=47289 Anyone who still has questions about anything after reading this information may send me a question through AuctionArms or may contact me directly at [email protected] Thanks.

Have Toyota Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Hello, and thank you for choosing Just Answer to help you with your questions! How many miles are on your 4runner?
And is this something you've recently purchased, or owned for a while? If you've owned it for a while, did this noise suddenly appear, or has it sort of always seemed to be there?
I am about ready to buy the vehicle
how many miles are on it?
Ok, these engines are real prone to valve noise. Chances are, the valve lash has never been adjusted. This engine doesn't use hydraulic lifters, it uses shims on top of the valve buckets. Over time the valves tend to wear into the head a bit (this is normal) and the valve lash clearances tend to be a bit excessive, in essence "slamming" the valve shut when it closes. This makes a tapping noise
It isn't a huge deal to have them re-shimmed, your local dealer should have no issues with it
The current ower purchased it in 2001 and says it has always made the noise, but never used oil or impacted the vehicle. Does this sound right? If I leave it as is will it create any issues?
Like I said, it isn't uncommon at all on the vz series engines. Typically it isn't a big deal. However if left unattended (especially on the 3.0... the 3vz that was in the 4runners before the 3.4 that yours has) will beat the valve seats out of the head. This does take a while though
You'll slowly lose compression, and need a valve job.
Typically you won't see this happen in the 3.4 until well over 200,000 miles, closer to 250-300k range
What kind of money at a dealership to fix it?
but there are too many variables to tell for sure
Typically, about $500 or less. Most of this is labor, and it really depends on your local area, how much the labor rates are in that area, etc. They could be anywhere from $70/hr to $150/hr depending on where you live in the country
Ok, you have been real helpful. The vehicle sale price is 5500 and the vehicle is clean. Buying for high school son to drive to school. Will likely be 5 or more years before I put 50K more on it. Thanks for the info. Look like I can take a chance on it thanks sir.
But I'll tell you the same thing I tell everyone that is looking at buying a used car. Before you buy it, take it to the dealership (not some local independant shop, the dealer knows exactly what the problem areas (if any) are on a vehicle, and exactly how things are supposed to look/sound/taste/feel like
ok. Thanks
They'll usually charge a half hour to hour labor for a 'pre purchase inspection' to look it over real good, and they can give you a list of anything that is good, stuff you'll likely need to look at in the future, and stuff that needs to be replaced soon
Make sure the timing belt has been replaced. It won't damage the engine if it breaks, but will just quit running wherever it happens to be which if it were one of my kids, I wouldn't want that to happen and have them stranded somewhere
Those water pumps have a tendancy to leak out through the weep hole. Doesn't mean it isn't working, just means it's aged and due to be replaced
If it is an auto, make sure the fluid is in good condition. This will be a good indicator of maintenance of the vehicle overall
it should be bright red when it is new
The water pump, timing belt were changed at 100K, I will check the fluid.
You can look at the back side (inside) of the rear brake drums, where the axle housing meets up with the backing plates. The axle seals have a tendancy to leak
would the leak show up as drops on the ground or just stick the inside of the wheel area?
You can tell the age of the spark plug wires by looking at them if they're still Toyota wires. Toyota prints the date year of the wires on the wires themselves. IF you look at them, you'll see a bunch of printed words. At the end, if they're original wires they'll say 1998
Axle seals won't show up as leaks on the ground unless they're REALLY leaking. You will be able to see what looks like a big wet spot on the back of the brakes. Usually it will leak inside the drum, get everything all wet and gooey and make a big mess
I think the spark plugs were changed at 100K, do they need to be replaced now?
Thanks, XXXXX XXXXX to go now. I appreciate your help.
This depends on what kind of plugs were installed. platinum or iridium shouldn't
But really, this is little stuff. These engines, if maintained will easily last to 300k or more. It's a great engine and great trans
These are the toyotas that gave the reputation for lasting forever
I'm happy to help, if there is anything else I can help with, please let me know.
ok. Thanks. What do I do hit accept or just sign off?
If you feel I have helped you, an accept would be greatly appreciated.
Sure thing. Thanks.
No problem. Good luck :)

Our patent-pending technology is a convenient way to easily transfer value using Bitcoin, in a matter of seconds. No skill required.
Bitnote is a single use, handheld ticket representing conventional currency denominations but with an encoded mask used to redeem Bitcoin.Learn more about Bitnote
With reference to a more familiar currency, you can instantly load your smartphone with Bitcoin or transfer money around the world using a Bitnote. No sophisticated Bitcoin understanding required.Learn more about its usefulness
It's as easy as taking a picture or making a phone call. Digital cash without the technical hassle.Learn how easy it is
The Bitnote process is simple. You can load your smartphone wallet with Bitcoin or transfer money halfway around the world instantly. Just visit your local convenience store to get started.
You can clearly see the purchase amount in all four corners of the note and just above the Bitnote logo. Printed over the scratchable surface you can find the loading code. It is used primarily to load the Bitnote at the cash register, but another important function is that you can scan it using the app, to confirm the loaded bitcoin, and/or local currency.
As soon as the loading code is scratched off the redeeming codes are revealed. Thus, the power of the Bitnote is exposed for transferring value. Once more, the Bitnote is now unavailable for reloading due to the scratched off destruction of the loading code.Indeed, a Bitnote with a scratched off loading code automatically identifies the note as used and unlikely of any value.
The Bitnote includes 3 basic redundant redeeming codes below the scratch-off loading code. That is, these codes represent the exact same Bitcoin and value. Thus, when you use one of the redeeming codes, the other 2 codes will simultaneously expire as also having been redeemed.
The Bitnote utilizes a QR code that can be read and redeemed directly by the Bitnote app. Alternatively, the code may be shared and redeemed in a remote fashion.
This code consists in a list of words or phrases that can be shared by telephone or any other kind of auditory method of communication.
This code may be a string of alphanumeric characters that can be shared by SMS messaging, email, engraved text, or any other means of text communication.
Use the app to redeem the Bitnotes that you get physically or redeem one remotely using the visual or alphanumeric code.
A Bitnote seller can use this app to load a Bitnote with Bitcoin for the first and only time.
Use this app as a wallet to manage your Bitcoin from your redeemed Bitnotes and to make direct purchases and transactions through your smartphone.
A Bitnote for the spanish speaking population of the world. The Bitllete is an version of the Bitnote that helps spanish speaking individuals to relate and understand the concept of the Bitnote.

AFTEr a long career in the provision of good housing I read with interest your coverage of the latest housing proposal in Malvern, and the three anti-development letters which as usual filled much of your letters page.
I don't feel able to comment on the specific merits of that proposal but I think I can confidently assert the following.
First, very few readers will write in to champion the interests of those 150 households who would benefit from good new housing in an area of their choice.
Second, no one will send in proposals of alternative sites where 150 homes could be built.
I made the train journey from Malvern to Bristol last week, and the view from the train reminded me how many homes were built in the 60s and 70s on the outskirts of towns and cities, and near the railway tracks, in an era when the growth of the number of households was much smaller than currently.
I wonder a) how many of those homes would have been stopped if the current level of opposition to development had prevailed then; b) how many of those who live in those homes now oppose development near them; c) whether any of them have like me, children and grandchildren adversely affected by the chronic and massive shortage of housing that has developed since the late 70s.
Isn't it time we all saw the bigger picture regarding housing development ?

I now live in Goodlettsville Tennessee, north of Nashville ,with a ridgerunner for a hubby, who I met when he was in the Air Force at Selfridge Air Force Base in 1967, and now he is retired from Dupont.
Email me if there is anything that needs to be made right on my inputs.

My sister Irene (Fleury) Young passed away July 7, 2006 if you leave a flower or a gift on her interment it would be very appreciated,you can find it as an off shoot of my Mom's interment, Florence Jean (Simpson) Fleury.
If there are any who put gifs and flowers on my family or friends interments which are mostly in my Sponserships, I thank you all so very much, and I will also try to do the same for your loved ones.
I also look for duplicates in the cemeteries I put flowers in and I will tell the members about them so they can be deleted .
So if anyone finds duplicates on my interments please let me know.

if I have any interments that I have made in my profile as to date and you see any that may be your family ,please let me know so that I can transfer them to you.
Keep up the good work you and yours do in findagrave .
I have completed my treatments for Radiation and Chemo in this month of Jan 2015. But I will not be helping with pics anymore.
For the familys of any interments in Forest Lawn Cemetery here in Goodlettesville TN where I sometimes I did take requests, the cemetery has a way to have real flowers placed on interments for special occasions 3 times a year for a fee , and if anyone is interested they may call the Forest Lawn office to set it up.
I was informed by the Ladies who run the office in The National Cemetery here in Madison Tennessee that the Kiosk outside the office has the same records in it as the office records have inside , so that means , if the name isnt on the Kiosk then the soldiers are not in this Cemetery. And also there are quite a few unknowns headstones that are interred in the National from the Civil War.
Spring Hill Cemetery is a strict cemetery,I have had problems with office people when I did ask for the locations as a request pic taker , They say only family of interred people there may ask for locations. So if you need a location call office at Spring Hill Cemetery 1-615-865-1101 then say you are family related. Ask for Section#, plot location#, plot#, and grave #. You may need to provide dates. Then add information to the photo request . And if they find the location in the office for you ,ask them to help show whoever comes in for it to go out and help look ,or make a copy of the location on a map , because sometimes it is hard for the pic taker to locate by just the direction itself , whereas the office people may be able to go directly to the grave with them . But make sure you specify someone will come into their offices and you need a family services person to show them where the interment is ,otherwise they may not help.
My photos are for public use and permission to use them are not needed. And your very welcome
Thankyou to all who give me a heads up on my interments if there are things wrong with them in different ways.
I have a flair up of my cancer now which I was cancer free from a couple of years ago .
It came back in my esahphgus this time so I am doing Ceamo and radiation now.
So I will not be doing anymore pics for the cemeteries. Thankyou to all .

I hope you are feeling well these days and I will pray for good health for you and your family.

Hello My Friend
Sorry I have been busy with losing my youngest sister this May 5, 2017. They thought they had gotten rid of all her cancer but apparently they did not. My niece cremated her so there is no grave for her. I have found a lot of my Penny, Bingle, Frost, and the other names that married into them are still living. Have been busy keeping up with them but most of them do not know that much about their own kin much less mine section. Will keep you in my prayers and in the Temple until you say to take your name out of it. Love you my friend. firstname.lastname@example.com # 47230178 Keep up your spirit okay.

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis. It affects millions of people around the world and is caused due to the gradual wear and tear of the protective cartilage at the end of your bones. The condition most commonly affects the joints in the hands, knees, hips and spine although it can damage any joint in the body.
The symptoms of osteoarthritis develop slowly and get worse with time, and include pain during and after physical activities like movement. The joints may become tender and may pain even with the application of light pressure. Stiffness and loss of flexibility are some of the other symptoms. The loss of cartilage due to gradual wear and tear causes the condition. It causes the smooth surface of the cartilage to become rough, giving rise to friction.
Some of the risk factors involved that can increase your chances of developing the condition are:
- Old age - The chance of osteoarthritis increases with a person's age.
- Sex - A study concluded that women are more likely to develop the condition. Although there isn't an established reason, lesser physical activity is attributed as a possible cause.
- Obesity - Having excessive body weight can be a contributing factor. This is because it puts added pressure on the weight-bearing joints, such as the hips and the knees.
- Joint injuries - Joint injuries contracted due to sports activities, accidents or other such factors can increase the likelihood of this condition.
- Genetics - In some of the cases, the condition is observed to be passed from generation to generation.
- Bone deformities - Some people who are born with bone deformities and defects can have greater chances of having this condition.
- Other diseases - Having diseases like diabetes and gout can increase the risk of the condition.
Some of the complications of this disease are:
- Joint pain and stiffness may cause hurdles in daily activities. Daily activities like changing clothes can be painful.
- Some people are unable to work any longer. Joint replacement surgeries are advised by doctors in these cases. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult an Orthopedist.
Have you undergone cartilage damage recently and are seeking ideal treatment measures? Cartilage damage is a common form of injury that involves your knees. Other joints such as the ankles, elbows and hips may also be affected by cartilage damage. Cartilage, the tough and flexible tissues covering the surface of your joints, acts as a shock absorber, allowing the bones to slide over each other. Cartilage damage may occur because of injuries such as a gradual wear, sports injuries and osteoarthritis. While acute cartilage damage may heal on its own, severe damage may need treatment via surgical measures.
- Physiotherapy is effective when you experience difficulty in moving your affected joint.
- It is also an important part of recovery if you have to undergo surgical procedures for treating cartilage damage.
- A physiotherapist will teach you certain exercises that are effective for strengthening the muscles that surround and support your affected joint.
- This helps in reducing pain and pressure on the joint.
- Severe and serious cartilage damage does not heal effectively on its own, and a surgery may be required for treatment.
- Usually, surgery is performed by using Arthroscopy. This is a form of keyhole surgery in which certain instruments are inserted into your affected joint via incisions or small cuts.
- In some cases, larger incisions have to be made.
- Such surgeries are carried out after giving general anesthesia to the patient.
The most common surgeries that are undertaken in cases of cartilage damage include the following:
Lavage and debridement
- In this form of surgery, your joint is cleaned for the removal of any loose tissues.
- The damaged edges are trimmed to be made smooth. Sometimes, the damage may also be repaired during the same time.
Marrow stimulation
- In this procedure, tiny holes are made on the bone beneath your damaged cartilage that releases the bone marrow in it.
- The marrow cells stimulate the production of new cartilage.
- In this procedure, small plugs of healthy cartilage from areas of a joint that are non-weight bearing are removed and used for replacing areas of the affected cartilage.
- This procedure involves the alteration of the alignment of your leg for reducing pressure on the damaged area.
- It is effective in improving pain.
- A wedge of bone may be removed or added from your thigh bone or shin bone.
- The bone gets fixed with a plate till it gets healed.
In some cases, a joint replacement surgery has to be carried out. In this procedure, the entire affected joint is removed and replaced with an artificial joint. Hip replacement and knee replacement are common examples of this kind of surgery.

My mother's age is 65 and she's having pain in her knee and also in her front bone (TIBIA) for last 7-8 years and now it's increased. Due to which she's having problem in walking and standing. Her pain increases when she work for long time and swelling also occurs in her knee. She's taking calcium tablets prescribed by doctor and also some pain relief ointments but get only temporary relief. Is there any remedy or treatment by which she can get permanent relief. Please tell some effective oral medicine or ointments/oils.
Heel pain is a common problem in the body where the affected person experiences pain radiating from the heel bone. Heel pain usually progresses slowly over time, it is recommended to consult a medical professional, if heel pain turns severe. The pain tends to be most severe after one has been inactive for some time such as after waking up in the morning.
Heel pain is usually caused when tissues present in the bottom of the heel (Plantar fascia) is inflammed. These tissues connect the heel bone with the bones of the feet and acts as a shock absorber. Tears form in these tissues when they are damaged or when they get thicker. These tissues are at an increased risk of wear and tear for those who are over 45 years old. The risks also tend to increase if the person is obese or whose occupation requires standing for lengthy periods of time.
Among other causes of heel pain are heel bone fractures, fat pad atrophy (a condition where a layer of fat present under the heel bone is reduced) and bursitis (inflammation of the fluid filled sacs present around the joints). Peripheral neuropathy is a condition where damage occurs in the peripheral nerves (that transmits signals between the central nervous system and the rest of the body), this can cause pain in the heel.
The symptoms of heel pain include:
- Experiencing pain while jogging or walking
- A feeling of pins pricking the heels after waking up in the morning
- Inability to put weight on the heel
- Painful swelling
- Pain in the heel accompanied by fever
Heel pain can be prevented by taking certain preventive measures such as restricting usage of high heeled shoes without proper support and stretching the heel regularly. Medications such as painkillers are used to treat symptoms of heel pain. Consult a doctor for accurate medicines !!

Arthritis is an inflammatory condition that affects the joints and bones of the patient and creates general problems when it comes to mobility and other such postures, which require some amount of physical stamina and strain. This kind of condition can be of many types. Furthermore, it can affect many different parts of the body right from the knees to the shoulders and the wrists. There are many forms of treatment for this condition, which may be carried out by orthopedic specialists as well as other practitioners of alternative medicine.
Read on to find out why Ayurveda is one of the best ways to deal with this condition.
- Ancient science: Ayurveda is an ancient science that is steeped in the logic of ages, and it has been allowed to evolve over numerous centuries, which makes it all the more authentic when it comes to various forms of treatment.
- Combination of measures: Ayurveda is not just a field of medicine, but it is primarily known as a life science because it combines a variety of measures that have to do with inside out cleansing of the system. From massages to herbal medicines, yoga postures to lifestyle changes, this form of treatment can help the patient get rid of the condition rather than just treat the symptoms.
- Massages: When we use a particular oil or herb to massage our bodies, we are actually imbibing the goodness and richness of those elements, which are ideal for the condition that we are suffering from. This oil that may be derived from cloves or various other elements that are naturally found, can actually seep right into the bones and joints to repair the condition. Mustard oil and camphor are also well known oils for arthritis.
- Doshas: Ayurveda depends on the various doshas for a proper form of diagnosis, and arthritis comes under the Data dosha. This typically affects the energy, surrounding the proper functioning of the joints and therefore, one can safely say that this is a well-researched body of science, which is being put to use so as to prescribe medicines and other forms of treatment for that particular dosha.
- Exercise: The yogic postures are known to have helped many people and the various asanas that are specifically required for an arthritis patient will help in doing away with the root cause of the disease. These asanas include the less rigorous ones that can build strength and stamina so that the patient is able to lead a more normal and healthy life.
- Lifestyle changes: The diet changes that will be prescribed for arthritis-affected patients along with the changes in one's routine, will help in reaching the root cause of the condition so that he or she may get a better chance at normalcy in the long run. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult an ayurveda.
Hello doctor. I am 25 years old. I have cellulite in my thighs n back portion. Its very difficult for me to wear shorts. please suggest treatment for the same.
I am 40 Yrs old male. Have gone for full body check-up, everything is normal in that. For last couple of days, feeling sort of weakness and pain at the feet too. Even after a sleep of 8 hours, looks like need more sleep.
Knee pain is something that can affect anyone - irrespective of their age. While sometimes it may be of minor importance - and can easily be handled by self-care, often, lingering pain is a manifestation of some other serious underlying problem, such as arthritis. In this case, it is imperative that you consult a doctor and take appropriate measures to combat it.
Causes :
Arthritis: The chief cause of lingering knee pain, arthritis itself can be of a number of types:
- Osteoarthritis, which is a result of deterioration of cartilages due to wear and tear
- Rheumatoid Arthritis, an inflammatory chronic disorder
- Septic Arthritis, causing pain, swelling and redness.
- Gout caused due to the development of uric acid crystals in the joints
Fractures: These are caused by the breaking up of the kneecap due to falls or collisions.
ACL Injuries: Caused due to the tearing of the anterior cruciate ligament (that connects the femur and the shinbone). Especially common in sportspersons such as footballers or basketball players.
Meniscus tears: The meniscus or the rubber-like cartilage (that acts as a shock absorber) can be torn by sudden jerks or excess pressure.
Symptoms:The major symptoms of knee pain include weakness, redness, instability, stiffness or the inability to properly straighten or move the leg. Often, a deformity is also visible, such as a bone sticking out of the leg - in which case it is advisable to consult a doctor immediately.
- Possible risks: Factors which include the odds of being inflicted by knee pain and cause serious complications include :
- Being overweight: This exponentially increases the stress or pressure that is applied on the knee joints - even in doing mundane tasks like walking up and down stairs.
- Excessive physical activity: Some activities, such as sports apply excess stress on the knees as compared to other tasks.
- Loss of muscle flexibility: Tightness or weakness in muscles causes increasing number of problems in the knees.

A picture was forming of Amanda as a vixen with dark impulses, and her family struggled to control the firestorm.
Was she vixen or fool, this fair snake woman with the beautiful face, for whose smile the officers risked death and disgrace?
I told him that for all her religion she seemed to me to have a deal of the vixen in her.
They sat there looking back at the beautiful scene, as the vixen passed down the harbor.
Do you mean to say, Giles, that you have dared to shoot a fox, and a vixen with a litter too?
"Not for the likes of her," retorted the vixen, with her red arms a-kimbo.
He lost his appetite, and vixen was allowed to eat his dinner under his eyes.
Aye, indeed, what would become of his vixen and her children?
vixen knew the routine of travelling as well as she knew my office-work.
In the important temple of Pacha-camac (the spiritual deity of Peru) they worshipped a she-fox or vixen and an emerald.
Old English *fyxen (implied in adjective fyxan), fem. of fox (see fox, and cf. Middle High German vühsinne, German füchsin). Solitary English survival of the Germanic feminine suffix -en, -in (cf. Old English gyden "goddess;" mynecen "nun," from munuc "monk;" wlyfen "she-wolf"). The figurative sense "ill-tempered woman" is attested from 1570s. The spelling shift from -f- to -v- began late 1500s (see V).

The idea that competition regulators might mimic Britain's Office of Fair Trading and recommend a free-for-all in newspaper distribution is a big headache for Spanish distributors.
"This would be a problem for smaller magazines, because a lot of them would not be viable," said José Manuel Anta of Spain's Federation of National Associations of Distributors of Published Goods (Fande).
"It would lead to self-censorship among publishers, who would decide not to risk publishing some things. We are talking about information and culture here, not foodstuffs."
Spain's newspaper distribution network is divided into areas, with each newspaper handing an exclusive distribution deal to a single distributor in each area, such as Madrid, Catalonia or Andalucía.
The service is irregular. The national press does not get to some rural areas until mid-morning or later.
Larger distributors, often owned by one or more newspaper publishers, are beginning to get a hold on much of the market.
Smaller distributors, espe cially those that serve rural areas and village shops, often double up as distributors of books and other goods.
Whoever might benefit from the introduction of competition, it certainly would not be newspaper and magazine readers, Mr Anta said.
"The advantages of competition would be felt along the commercial chain, but the price of a newspaper would stay the same," he said.
Spaniards are less dependent on their local supermarkets than the British, and newspaper sales there are relatively small.
Convenience store chains and petrol stations may be in the strongest position to bargain for better discounts with distributors if competition is introduced.
Most of the Spanish press is still sold through the colourful, magazine-clad kioskos on city streets and small-town shops.
"Life is complicated enough for the people who own them as it is," said Mr Anta.
But Carlos Olivares, owner of a Madrid newsagents, said that he has his hands tied by the distributors. "They generally do a good job, but you have to accept what they say," he said.

Ford City tackle returns for senior season
One of the key new faces on the line for Ford City isn't really new at all.
Senior tackle Chad Cloonan was one of the team's more productive linemen as a sophomore, and after a year away from football, he returns to the team and solidifies the Sabers' line on both sides of the ball.
The decision to not play football as a junior was Cloonan's own, but after spending a year in the stands, the 6-foot-2, 270-pound senior was ready to get back on the field.
"I missed it a little bit when you come and see all your friends playing on a Friday night," Cloonan said. "You miss that feeling getting pumped up, running through the paper (onto the field) and actually getting to play."
Cloonan's teammates have been supportive of his return to the team, and he said many of them were the ones who encouraged him to come back in the first place.
"They were really hoping I'd come back, and they helped me make the decision," Cloonan said. "I'm glad I did."
Count Ford City coach John Bartolovic among those happy to see Cloonan back on the field.
With a combination of size and smarts that his coach repeatedly raved about, the big man has had no problem fitting back into they system he has played since his midget football days.
"A lot of times when kids miss a year, they're almost like being back to ninth or 10th grade again, but he did start as a 10th-grader," Bartolovic said. "He has the game experience, and I think he'll be just fine. He's a big boy with good feet, and he's very intelligent. He doesn't make mental mistakes."
After a year away from football, one concern for any player is the ability to get back into game shape. There are none of those worries with Cloonan, who is far more than just a lumbering bruiser in the middle of the field.
Cloonan stayed fit even without football, and he did so by doing things more endurance-oriented than linemen usually face, such as running in last month's Ford City 5K.
"Conditioning-wise, I did a lot triathlon stuff in the summer, so cardiovascular fitness I'm good for," Cloonan said. "I still need to get a little bit quicker off the ball, but other than that, I'm in pretty good shape."
Cloonan's return puts a veteran player in key positions for Ford City. As a bookend on the line of the Sabers' Wing-T offense and a anchor in the center of the defensive line, the senior should see plenty of action in his return.
"We're real happy to have him there," Bartolovic said. "With him and some of the other kids we have back ... we were real pleased with the line on both sides in our first (intrasquad) scrimmage."

Freddie Prinz Jr. Takes a Swipe at Jack Bauer?? Are you insane?
Freddie Prinze Jr. Says Kiefer Sutherland Was Such a Jerk on "24" That He Wanted to Quit Acting
FREDDIE PRINZE JR. hasn't done much acting recently, and apparently that's KIEFER SUTHERLAND'S fault. Freddie had a major supporting role on "24" back in 2010 . . . and in a new interview, he says Kiefer was such a jerk that he didn't want to act anymore. He says, "It was terrible. I hated every moment of it.
"Kiefer was the most unprofessional dude in the world. That's not me talking trash. I'd say it to his face. Everybody that's worked with him has said that. I just wanted to quit the business after that. So, I sort of just stopped."
He doesn't elaborate on what Kiefer did, but he did say he was forced to take his shoes off to do scenes with Kiefer . . . because he was so much taller than him. He adds, quote, "Just put the guy on [a box] or don't hire me next time.
"You know I'm 6 feet and he's 5'4." For what it's worth, the Internet says Kiefer is five-foot-nine, and Freddie is 6'1. So-called "sources connected to Freddie" claim Kiefer's drinking problem contributed to him pulling a total Lindsay Lohan on the set . . . you know, being a diva, making people wait for him, stirring up drama, and so on.
Kiefer hasn't responded . . . but his rep says, quote, "This is the first [Kiefer] has heard of Freddie's grievances. Kiefer enjoyed working with Freddie and wishes him the best."
Interestingly enough, that feeling WAS MUTUAL, at the time. In an old interview from 2010, Freddie said Kiefer helped him out a lot . . . and that he, quote, "really enjoyed working with him," and that it was "really rewarding."

At Spa-Go's we know how to cater to seniors. All of the services we offer are available for seniors and our staff is trained to handle their special needs.
Here are some of the many services that we offer seniors:
Senior Massage: Senior massage is one of the most crucial times to have massage. Massage helps with circulation, energy, touch therapy and body rejuvenation and immune system boosts. We recommend the Panacean massage service, as that it offers deep massage in the high stress area of the neck, shoulders and back. It has steamed towels applied and aromatherapy. It also has stretching of the arms, legs and acupressure points up and down the spine for an immune boost and points for detoxing the organs. We recommend twice weekly to no longer than every 6 weeks for a health program.
If the feeling is chronic and whole body, a series of hand placements occur from head to toe. Spiritual wellness is proven helpful in healing and we'd love to make a difference! We recommend weekly when energy is failing and touch is not enjoyable or circulation is not to be increased. A phenomenally powerful experience.
Senior Facials: We recommend a facial using our all natural African imported Shea nut butter to help strengthen the skin and hydrate to lessen the signs of aging. Our amazing pumpkin peel facials also are a natural way to turn back the years and keep fine lines and wrinkles at a minimum. You should have facials regularly. We recommend twice monthly and no longer than ever 6 weeks for beautiful healthy skin. (for ladies we recommend adding services to the hands, neck and chest areas where sun damage is most relevant.
Manicures/Pedicures: It's wonderful to have your nail services in home. You get an entire hour all to yourself and don't have to share your technician's time. More massage with your services. You can find our various manicures and pedicures on our private services menu.
Teeth Whitening: The one-hour process is very effective for teeth that have been stained by smoking or by substances like coffee or tea. It also whitens teeth discolored by medicine such as tetracycline or speckled fluoride. For clients with teeth darker in stains,schedule an additional appointment within 24 hours to complete the fourth cycle to obtain the most desired results.
Alternatively,for clients with dark stains or clients who want to reduce the time of each cycle, we recommend you to split the whitening process into two treatments. The First Day we will perform two 20-minute teeth whitening cycles,The second day we will complete the procedure by performing another two 20-minute cycle. Natural teeth only.
Custom Skin Coloring: Custom skin coloring helps with those who are very pale, have age spots, too much red or other skin conditions. You can control the color you receive and when attending events or functions, we can have our experienced technicians provide you with a healthy glow. People will think you've been on vacation…
Senior Fitness: We offer fitness programs and classes specifically designed to meet the needs of the senior, called Senior Specific. Our programs will help seniors improve their lifestyle and overall health and operating system.

MEDIA ALERT: CHECK POINT'S ZONEALARM FORCEFIELD PROTECTS PCs AGAINST THE NEW WIDESPREADNINE BALL ATTACK
ZoneAlarm's Extreme Security virtualization technology and antivirus protection continue to shield consumers from new and sophisticated Web browser attacks
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., June 19, 2009 – Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: CHKP), the worldwide leader in securing the Internet, today announced that ZoneAlarm® ForceField™ technology protects consumers against Nine Ball, a multi-layered Web browser attack targeting legitimate websites to redirect users to malicious sites owned by the attacker. Nine Ball malicious programs typically attempt to steal information from users for potential financial or identity theft use. By placing a two-way "bubble of security" around the user's browser, ZoneAlarm ForceField, also included in ZoneAlarm Extreme Security, stops Nine Ball infected sites from being able to redirect the browser to other sites, or to download malicious programs onto the consumer's PC.
Nine Ball works as users visit one of the infected websites and are sent through a chain of redirections to sites owned by the attacker, before landing on the final drive-by download site. The downloaded malware attempts to infect user's computer through a number of exploits including Adobe Reader, QuickTime, Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) and AOL SuperBuddy. The multiple redirections are designed to make tracking the attacker more difficult and occur in the background without the victims knowledge. The attack name "Nine Ball" refers to the name of the final landing page which is full of malicious drive-by exploits that are automatically downloaded to computers without user's consent or knowledge. Once infected, anything the victim types could be monitored and used to commit identity theft, such as stealing credit card numbers, passwords or other sensitive data.
"In the past couple of years, more and more hackers have started targeting trusted websites to distribute malware designed to steal financial or personal information. Mass-compromise attacks such as Nine Ball, Gumblar and Beladen have already infected approximately 140,000 sites collectively," said Ben Khoushy, vice president of endpoint products for Check Point. "Once again, Check Point's unique ZoneAlarm ForceField virtualized browser security solution provides the necessary protection against the continuously evolving ways hackers try to exploit legitimate websites."
ZoneAlarm ForceField successfully protects computers against attacks such as Nine Ball, or previously announced Gumblar, by placing an impenetrable two-way bubble of security around the browser. The ZoneAlarm ForceField sandbox prevents unwanted malware from damaging users PCs or from stealing users private information.

In addition, the antivirus protection included in ZoneAlarm Antivirus and ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite will detect and remove known Nine Ball malware, assuming consumers have updated to the latest virus signatures.

Shared Knowledge
"Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC)"
"How to Replace the Run Capacitor in the Compressor Unit"
20 July 2017
Summary: the run capacitor, located in the outside compressor unit, is the most common failure component in HVAC. Replacement can be a do-it-yourself (DIY), if you are careful.
Run capacitor replace?
Never replace parts unless you are sure or think you are sure they are bad or defective.
Before replacing the run capacitor, make sure you read, HVAC - Outside Compressor and Fan Not Starting or Running.
HVAC has 240, death, alternating current (AC) voltage.
Do not attempt any do-it-yourself (DIY) repairs on HVAC if you have never worked with or around high voltage.
Always, double and triple check that circuits are dead. This means using a voltmeter.
Do not trust a circuit breaker.
Do not trust a quick disconnect.
Do not work on HVAC when you are tired or too hot or pressured.
Yes, it can get hot inside without HVAC but better to suffer through a hot house and get whacked by high voltage.
HVAC replacement parts are available from multiple sources on the Internet, no questions asked, but most HVAC repair companies will not sell parts directly to a homeowner (liability and they want to service your unit).
I am lucky in that I live near an electric motor rebuild shop that carries HVAC motors and run capacitors they will sell to anyone.
So, if you are thinking about DIY HVAC repairs make sure you have a source for parts. You might have no choice but to pay someone to repair your unit.
Run capacitor costs? From Internet sites, about $8 a piece. From electric motor repair shop: $20. Repairman will charge you $30 or more.
Flat blade screw driver.
Perhaps nut driver or pliers.
Voltmeter that can read 240 volts alternating current (AC).
Insulated pliers.
How to remove a defective run capacitor:
In your home circuit breaker box, you most likely have 2 circuit breakers related to your HVAC: one for the inside blower and one for the outside compressor unit.
Locate both circuit breakers and move them to the "off" position.
Move to the outside compressor unit.
At the quick disconnect, either toggle the switch to the "off" position or remove the insert by pulling outward.
Find and remove the access panel on the compressor unit.
When working around the outside compressor unit, be careful to not step on the pipes coming out of the unit.
Using your voltmeter set to a scale that will read 240VAC, place your probes on the 2 largest wires at the bottom of the relay and confirm there is no voltage present.
If you read any voltage at all, do not proceed. Believe it or not, I have seen circuits tied directly to power company house mains!!
Remove the screw holding the run capacitor strap in place and holding the run capacitor lower it down and then upside down, with all wires attached.
Do not touch the terminals of the run capacitor with your fingers. Capacitors store charge and although a whack from a capacitor will not kill you, it might startle you enough, you fall or otherwise hurt yourself.
Now look closely at the terminals end of the capacitor.
Raised up out of the metal should be: COM, Herm and Fan.
Take a piece of paper and write down the color of wires going to each terminal.
Double check your notes and compare to the wiring diagram on the back of the access panel.
On my diagram below, the run capacitor is on the left and marked "RC".
When you are sure you know absolutely which wire goes to which run capacitor terminal, take an insulated screwdriver and short across the COM terminal and either of the other 2 terminals and then short the other terminal to COM.
Using insulated pliers carefully pull all wires off the run capacitor terminals. Pull at the push-on connector, not just the wire.
Once you have the run capacitor out of the compressor unit, being careful of the terminals, rotate the run capacitor until you can see its label.
This label will define what you must buy as a run capacitor replacement.
How to install a new run capacitor:
Once you have a new run capacitor, mark the outside of the capacitor with a marker of some kind such that you know the definition of each terminal: herm, com and fan.
Although marked on the bottom in the metal, it can be difficult to consult the bottom once you start connecting wires to terminals.
Using your pliers, push the connector of each wire over a terminal on the the run capacitor.
Double check that the right color wire is on the correct capacitor terminals.
Triple check that the right color wire is on the correct capacitor terminal.
Mount capacitor back into compressor unit.
Note that run capacitors vary in diameter and you might have to shim the capacitor to get the retaining strap to hold it tight against the unit wall.
With the run capacitor mounted, double check that all wires are attached to a terminal and there is no loose wire ends anywhere.
Take a break and move away from the compressor unit.
Come back to compressor unit and check everything over again.
Place access panel back on compressor unit and tighten screws.
Toggle the quick disconnect to "on" or insert the fuse\metal block back into the quick disconnect.
Turn on circuit breakers to air handler and outside compressor unit.
If a breaker immediately trips, you have a wiring problem and immediately place both breakers in the "off" position and go take a break before looking at compressor wiring again.
Go to a thermostat connected to the unit being worked on and set to "cool" and a temperature below current room temperature.
The fan motor on top of the compressor unit should start turning immediately, if it is not defective.
The compressor unit may try to start and then shut down. Do not worry.
The compressor unit will try to start again after a short time.
The compressor unit may try to start several times before it starts and continues to run.
If the fan motor makes a loud humming noise and does not turn, it is defective and must be replaced.
If the compressor unit does not eventually start and continue to run, best to call a HVAC repairman.

(CNSNews.com) -- Senator Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) said she is opposed to using the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as a "health care policeman."
Boxer, who made the statements on Thursday at the "Stand Up for Women's Health" rally in Washington, D.C., sponsored by Planned Parenthood and several other pro-abortion organizations, was speaking in reference to H.R. 3, the "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act."
That bill, currently being considered in the House of Representatives, would make permanent the Hyde Amendment restrictions on federal funding of abortion except in cases of rape, incest, or a threat to the life of the mother, and would also prohibit people from taking tax deductions for payments made for abortions except in those circumstances.
"We say no to another extreme bill," said Boxer, speaking before the supportive crowd of pro-abortion activists. "Listen to this one -- would put the IRS in the middle of a personal or private decision by requiring millions of women who have had an abortion to disclose it to tax auditors. We say 'no.' We are not turning the IRS into a health care policeman."
In the bill's text, the reference to the IRS reads as follows: "For taxable years beginning after the date of the enactment of this section-- (1) no credit shall be allowed under the internal revenue laws with respect to amounts paid or incurred for an abortion or with respect to amounts paid or incurred for a health benefits plan (including premium assistance) that includes coverage of abortion ...."
While Boxer is supportive of keeping the IRS out of health care in instances involving abortion, she is in favor of Obamacare's individual mandate to buy health insurance, under which the IRS would be responsible for fining individuals if they do not carry health insurance, beginning in 2014.
The Hyde Amendment, first enacted in 1976 and named after the late Republican Rep. Henry Hyde of Illinois, is attached each year to the annual appropriations bills, and it prevents any programs funded by those bills from paying for abortions except in the cases of rape, incest, or where the life of the mother is at risk.

Unite Union joins Global Day of Action
Unite Union joins Global Day of Action
15th May 2014
Unite Union
Low wage workers will rally outside McDonalds flagship restaurant in Auckland today (Thursday 15th May) as the first action in a new worldwide campaign for fair pay, and the right for fast food workers to join unions.
The campaign, #fastfoodglobal was called by the IUF (International Union of Food, Agricultural, Hotel, Catering, Tobacco and Allied Workers' Association) after a worldwide conference of fast food workers held in New York last week.
Unite organiser, Joe Carolan, who recently returned from the US conference, said:
"New Zealand is one of very few countries that have union agreements covering fast food workers. Many of the conditions workers in other countries are struggling to win - we have already achieved here. We are taking action today to support Fast Food workers in the USA and other countries who are fighting for these same conditions."
Unite led the 2005 "Super Size My Pay" campaign, which ended youth rates in fast food restaurants. It also organised the world's first Starbucks strike and ultimately achieved union contracts for workers employed in all major fast food companies in New Zealand.
Thousands of workers in the USA have been striking to win $15 dollars (US) per hour and the right to belong to a union capturing major news headlines with campaigns like "Fast Food Forward" & "Fight for 15".
Unite Union which has been negotiating contracts for it's 5000 Fast Food members throughout the country for almost a decade is also campaigning for an immediate increase to the minimum wage to $15 per hour.
A rally will be held outside Greenlane McDonald's (cnr of Great South Road and Greenlane West) at midday today (Thursday 15th May). There will be an opportunity to interview workers at the rally.

Artists get a little 'crazy' with Buddy Holly songs
These days, any pop star who drops off the radar after a couple of years tends to resurface only in trivia quizzes.
Not Buddy Holly, who enjoyed barely 18 months of stardom, died at 22 in a plane crash in 1959 and will not fade away.
The latest proof is Rave On Buddy Holly, a tribute album celebrating the 75th anniversary of the rock 'n' roll pioneer's birth.
The collection, out Tuesday on Fantasy/Concord, offers 19 interpretations of Holly's songs, including the title track by The Strokes' Julian Casablancas, True Love Ways by My Morning Jacket, Peggy Sue by Lou Reed and Well All Right by Kid Rock.
Artists were urged to venture beyond Holly's bouncy, hiccup-punctuated originals. Paul McCartney initially considered a faithful rendition of It's So Easy but says he opted "to try a crazy, funky version." The resulting yowling barn-burner finds McCartney rapping at points, ad-libbing "By about half past nine, we're gonna be down by the old juke joint, man, we're gonna be playin' them records, we're gonna be dancin', man."
Florence + The Machine's Not Fade Away, with Ivan Neville on keyboards, gets a New Orleans groove. With ex-husband Jack White on drums, model/singer Karen Elson turns in a countrified Crying, Waiting, Hoping. Modest Mouse puts an arty spin on That'll Be the Day.
When Americana singer/songwriter Justin Townes Earle was asked to record Maybe Baby, "I figured I could have fun and grunge it up a little bit."
Though primarily identified with rock and pop, Holly made significant contributions to rockabilly and country, leanings with which Earle identifies.
"You know that terrible movie La Bamba? That's how I discovered Buddy Holly," says Earle, 29. "He grew up in the Texas Panhandle during dance-hall days. You can hear a bit of Bob Wills' swing in what he does."
Randall Poster, better known as the music supervisor for such directors as Martin Scorsese, Todd Haynes and Wes Anderson, produced Rave On, handpicking artists and encouraging novel renditions "to speak to the range and scope of Buddy Holly's music," he says, adding that he enlisted co-producer Gelya Robb "to tap into the punk-rock vitality of Holly. We were intent on making a record that had a little toughness to it."
McCartney's rowdy track "has so much spirit and energy, we were blown away by it," Poster says. "He's probably been playing that song for 50 years. It's so much fun, and he's having so much fun."
Holly's enduring appeal?
"The songs are so emotionally direct," Poster says. "He let people know their own experiences were worthy of songs. He wasn't a force of nature like Little Richard or Jerry Lee Lewis. He was the first rock star who came out of the audience."
Such newer acts as the Black Keys, Cee Lo Green and She & Him should draw fresh ears to Holly, Poster says, "and they're in for a treat."
Tribute records are meant to spread the gospel, Earle says.
"I doubt I have too many fans who don't know who Buddy Holly is," he says. "I have the kind of fans who buy anything I'm on. They'll get to hear great bands and a bunch of great songs."
