well let me try and help you visualize why, Sorry if I get too carried away. But I know with me it helps to have a picture sometimes to understand things.
As you can see the track bar has two pivot points, one fixed to the frame (point B) and one mounted to the axle (point A). as the stock suspension sits, the track bar should be level to the ground and parallel with the axle. as the suspension moves through the range of travel point A moves upwards but also in an arc, using point B as the center of the arc. The length of the track bar is determined by the distance from point A and point B as the truck sits level and unloaded. So point A is at the longest point in the arc of travel even before there is any movement. as the suspension moves the axle will try and stay level regardless of the angle of the track bar. Thus as point A moves up and theoretically closer to point B the axle is forced to shift to the right. You have to remember that even though the true distance from point A to point B actually never changes (due to the fixed length of the track bar), the Vertical plain going through point A will 1) remain parallel to the axle plain and 2) shift closer to point B.
You mentioned that the stock suspension does not appear to shift when loaded so why does it do it when lowered. Well I bet it does, but just not enough that we would notice.
If you recall, we had to replace our bump stops with shorter ones with the drop kit. that's because the stock bump stops would not allow that much drop with out hitting the axle. So after the drop was done there is only about a 1/2" of shift to the right. I would bet that even with the stock suspension fully loaded the shift is there but, it is less than a 1/2 in. more like 1/4" in most cases. and I bet most people don't even think to look.
So really all we need to fix it is to have a track bar that is about 1/2" longer to push point A further away from point B, thus shifting the axle back to the right by 1/2". Or you could just drill a hole in the axle mount about 1/2" closer to point B, but i would be afraid that that would weaken the mounting point.
ANYWAY, sorry it got so winded. my head hurts now..lol

Horses Wander Onto Atlantic City Expressway Shoulder
State police have removed several horses that wandered onto a shoulder of the Atlantic City Expressway in Winslow Township.
State police have removed several horses that wandered onto a shoulder of the Atlantic City Expressway in Winslow Township.
A mix of rain and snow should be accompanied by a moderate dose of coastal flooding Wednesday into Thursday, as shore towns continue to rebuild their beaches after Superstorm Sandy.
The cost to clean up the damage left behind by Superstorm Sandy isn't cheap. No one knows that better than Ocean County officials, who are set to approve an emergency appropriation this week. It will be the third one since the storm hit back in October.
Two men were killed when their car overturned on an Atlantic County roadway and they were ejected from the vehicle.
A federal judge on Thursday upheld a 21-year-old law prohibiting sports betting in 46 of 50 states, dealing a setback to New Jersey's attempts to revive its struggling casino industry by grabbing a piece of what has become a multibillion-dollar industry, both legal and illegal.
New Jersey and Nevada recently became the second and third states in the country to legalize online gambling. A casino expert has predicted that New Jersey will destroy its western counterpart in terms of revenue.
Governor Chris Christie has presented a $32.9 billion State Budget proposal. He says it maintains the fiscal discipline needed to restore New Jersey, is balanced and imposes no tax increases.
It's the end of the line for hundreds of boats and recreational vehicles damaged by Superstorm Sandy.
On Tuesday, you'll find out just how far your tax dollars go. Governor Chris Christie is scheduled to deliver his Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Budget Address before a special joint session of the legislature at the State House.
Family members say the longtime owner of Atlantic City's iconic Steel Pier has died.
Cousin Vinny has been helping the kids at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital since 1985. Year after year after year Cousin Vinny comes through for the kids and this year was no different as he dropped off
Two south Jersey men face charges after they allegedly threatened on Facebook to "shoot up" their former high school, a posting they claim was only made to see whether the website would remove it as inappropriate.

When your Oldsmobile Series 68 was born, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who wants long-lasting quality in their automobile. It's not a regular occurrence that you realize that you have to buy a replacement Control Arm for your vehicle. Oldsmobile vehicle drivers have become used to a certain level of reliability when driving their Series 68 around town. Obviously, you bought your Series 68 because you knew that you wanted strength and American style both impeccably combined into one vehicle.
The handling of your Oldsmobile Series 68 relies on a well-built suspension. A key ingredient for optimum stability is a good control arm. All modern vehicles have independent front suspension, which means that control arms allow for separate up and down movements for each wheel. Now that beam axles are gone, so are king pins. So your Oldsmobile Series 68 control arms use ball joints to pivot the spindle.
Don't let a broken Control Arm spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by buying anything but the highest quality replacement parts. Buying new Oldsmobile parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are getting the best deal on the absolute greatest original and aftermarket replacement Series 68 parts on the internet. At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents here with enough expertise to help you purchase the appropriate Oldsmobile Series 68 part for your project or repair. When it comes to Oldsmobile Series 68 Control Arm parts, you can find them for 1948, 1947, 1942, 1941 models by clicking the appropriate year below.

Unable to use the less-than symbol as an option for drop-field.Asked by blancazca on October 13, 2015 at 08:07 PM
One of my drop down questions wont work. I have tried everything please help, my client is complaining.
Thank you
JotForm Support
I have checked your form and I see that you were able to change the options for the said field.
It seems that the less-than symbol (<) is treated as a special character used in HTML, that is why it cannot be used as an option. However, there is a way for you to produce such symbol with the help of an HTML Name.
< = <
You may also use this chart I found over the internet as reference in the future: http://www.ascii.cl/htmlcodes.htm
Let us know if you need any further assistance. Thank you.
JotForm Support
Just to add, aside from adding it from the Options icon as shown above.
You can also add it through the properties of the drop-down field. You can type the symbol "<" as it is without using the "<" and it should still work.
Thank you very much Mike!
JotForm Support
You're most welcome! Should you have any other concerns, please feel free to open a new thread and let us know. We will be glad to help you. Thank you.

MAX Whitlock will not be the only South Essex Gymnastics member in action at the Commonwealth Games today.
For the Basildon-based club received a number of other call ups, including Scott Hann as a coach.
And Hann says it will be a great occasion for all concerned.
"To have the level of involvement that we do is fantastic," he said.
"I've seen one or two them here already and one or two have already gone home as they were involved in the rhythmic gymnastics which has now ended.
"But it's another great achievement for us as a club."
South Essex Gymnastics' Rebecca Bunce worked as judge during the rhythmic event while Tania Bonici carried out commentary duties.
Dave Massam has now arrived to be a judge for the gymnastics competition, along with equipment volunteer Dave Rapley.
But all eyes will be on Whitlock from today as the double Olympic bronze medallist strives for more success.
And Hann insists the 21-year-old is in good shape ahead of the competition.
"Max is feeling good and he's happy with the set up here," said Hann.
"The facilities are great and so is the venue but it's a very long competition for him.
"He could well be competing every day until Friday so we have to make sure he maintains his focus and concentration.
"But today is a big day as he will be competing in three of the apparatus with a further three taking place tomorrow and Max will want to get off to a good start."
Whitlock and the rest of England's gymnastics squad arrived in Scotland on Friday and trained at the venue over the weekend.
And Hann's only pre-event fear is the amount of food that is available.
"I don't think I've ever seen so much food," laughed Hann.
"There's so much of it everywhere you go and I'm really going to have to be careful while I'm out here and resist trying to eat too much of it!"


text: Hummingbirds have many skeletal and flight muscle adaptations which allow the bird great agility in flight. Muscles make up 25-30% of their body weight, and they have long, blade-like wings that, unlike the wings of other birds, connect to the body only from the shoulder joint. This adaptation allows the wing to rotate almost 180°, enabling the bird to fly not only forward but fly backwards, and to hover in front of flowers as it feeds on nectar and insects. During hovering, ruby-throated hummingbird wings beat 55 times per second, 61 times per second when moving backwards, and up to 75 times per second when moving forward. This female ruby-throated hummingbird was one of many fighting over a nearby feeder in Rockaway, NJ USA. I captured her with my Nikon D3100 and the Nikon 70-300mm zoom lens.

My Website: Dabeers Customs
Mayhem # 2859043
About MeDabeers Customs is the fashion brand designed by Kelley Beers. Dabeers Customs specializes in one-of-a-kind shoes with hand- placed embellishments. Kelley is a fashion designer from St. Louis where she studied fashion design in high school. At the very young age of 14, she began sketching clothes. Kelley spent hours on the sewing machine to bring some of these designs to life for the high school fashion show. After earning her diploma, she would go on to learning the fashion business. While studying for her degree, she worked behind the scenes at fashion shows and trade shows in "The Windy City" of Chicago. One of those shows was the well-known bridal brand Alfred Angelo, where she prepared models to debut the latest bridal and prom collections. After she completed her studies, she would launch her career designing custom wardrobes for men, women, and children. The most important thing that stood out was Kelley's ability to translate visions into unique custom shoes. These are one-of-a-kind treasures that she customized by hand. She works with Swarovski Crystals, studs, pearls, lace, and even spikes, among other embellishments. In early 2012, Kelley officially launched the brand "Dabeers Customs". The label features her customized footwear and other complementary designs.

Crazy about this home fashion design trend - color-drenched with shades of Cuba! Definitely a coastal trendworthy palette from this re-discovered Caribbean nation; shades of aqua, cerulean blue, deep turquoise, royal blues and emerald green. This design trend is tropical with a definite twist of incredible Spanish and Moorish influenced art and (think Barcelona!) architecture. Imagine medallion circles and intricate tiled shapes.. . So cool!

Lindsay Lohan Teeth
October 15, 2011 by staff
Lindsay Lohan Teeth, Everyone, including People magazine wants to know why Lindsay Lohan has rotten teeth and blood-stained hands. I guess people have not realized that their drug use to smoke, and the general lack of hygiene, so he asked her representative who gave no response. It's like he was not even hear the question.
"Lindsay is widely recognized as one of the most beautiful actresses of her time, and asks us each week wanted to do photo shoots with her for the best photographers," said her agent, Steve Honig, People magazine.
"She's been on the cover of Vanity Fair," Honig says, "and the top beauty and fashion magazines. It is a beautiful and glamorous actress."
"With everything that happens – the deterioration of public education to the homeless rampant international concern – no way I'm going to comment on Lindsay's teeth," he said.
The deterioration of public education and homelessness out of control? You are a representative of Lindsay Lohan. Is not it your job to answer these questions? You're not a fcking politician.

NEW YORK On a crisp October morning, a group of high school students taped one dollar bills over their mouths as they approached the Lower Manhattan offices of JP Morgan Chase. Danielle Raskin, a 17-year-old senior at Eleanor Roosevelt High, was among them.
"Those with more money should not have a larger say in politics than the rest of the people," Raskin said. "It frustrates me that these people create policies only for profit and not for the benefit of people, which is not how government is supposed to work."
Raskin and other members of 99Rise, an outgrowth of last year's Occupy Wall Street movement, were at the offices of the nation's largest bank to protest the deluge of political spending bankrolled by undisclosed donors.
While spending by independent political groups on races for the presidency, the Senate, and the House of Representatives topped $1.3 billion this year, according to the Sunlight Foundation at least $300 million was spent by groups that are not required to disclose their donors -- so-called "dark money."
More than 100 dark money groups have been active, and overall, 80 percent of their spending supported Republicans, according to Sunlight's analysis. The top seven non-disclosing spenders backed a conservative agenda -- Crossroads Grassroots Policy Strategies ($70 million); Americans For Prosperity ($35 million); U.S. Chamber of Commerce ($33 million); American Future Fund ($21 million); Americans For Job Security ($16 million); Americans For Tax Reform ($16 million); and American Action Network ($12 million).
The ballyhooed super PACs, which spent at least $625 million by Election Day are registered with the Federal Election Commission and are required to disclose the sources of their unlimited funds. But the dark money groups, registered with the Internal Revenue Service as 501c non-profits or social welfare organizations, do not. (They disclose only expenditures to the FEC).
"I want big companies to say how much they are giving and to whom in these elections," said Jenny Ferreiras, a 17-year-old senior at the Bronx High School of Science, who participated in the protest at JP Morgan Chase. The demonstrators had no specific evidence of bank political donations to dark money groups.
Classmate Carolein Mossel said, "It shows that the one percent can buy politicians, while the 99 percent just sit there and watch."
Mossel and Ferreiras watched as Raskin and two other young women went inside the bank's lobby and staged a sit-in. They held an American flag and a sign demanding greater donor disclosure. After an hour of refusing to budge, the NYPD arrested them.
In Washington a few days earlier, Public Citizen had left gift-wrapped boxes of fake money on the front steps of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as a mock presents for the Chamber's 100th birthday.
"What the Chamber is doing is taking money from the giant multinationals around the country, laundering it, and then spending it in huge ways in election races across the country," said Robert Weissman, president of Public Citizen. "We don't know which companies are behind this money. Today, we are calling as a first step for the source of that money to be disclosed."
A study by Public Citizen found the Chamber was the top or second-biggest non-disclosing outside spender in 29 of the 35 congressional races where it spent $100,000 or more.
Public Citizen also found 86 percent TV advocacy paid for by all independent groups, were negative attack ads.
Like other watchdog groups, Public Citizen has called for passage of the DISCLOSE Act, which would require all groups that spend $10,000 or more on campaign communications to reveal their donors. The Senate bill died in a Republican filibuster over the summer.
"I think at the very the minimum what we need to is make sure it's all transparent," said Jon Tester, the Montana Democrat who won a close battle Tuesday for a second U.S. Senate term. "So we know who's giving the money."
Tester was subjected to most of the $7.5 million in dark money ads aired in Montana, seen as a linchpin to the Senate majority Senate candidates in Wisconsin, Nevada, Ohio, and Virginia, were hit with millions more - with mixed results.
"I've been told that there's very few people that are making these contributions. Let's find out who they are," Tester said. "I mean, freedom of speech is great, but if we're giving freedom of speech to a hundred people and not the rest of us, that's kind of crazy."

(This is part 4 in the Athens series. See parts one, two, and three.)
One of the hidden gems in my trip to Athens was the Kerameikos, which is at the edge of ancient Athens. The old city wall runs through the site. This photo here shows a footpath just outside the inner city wall.
The city wall was an important demarcation point. According to ancient Athenian custom, the dead were buried outside the city. In addition to the major markers for the rich and famous, the ancient burial grounds have many smaller cylindrical tomb markers for the less well-off.
Within the historical site of the Keremeikos, the major structure is the Pompeion, an old temple. It's best seen from the street above (the modern street level is a few meters above the level of the ancient ruins).
The Pompeion is set at an angle to the modern city streets, which surprised me. In many cases, modern streets evolved from ancient layouts. Once I made it down into the archeological site, I realized the reason for the precise layout of the Pompeion. Early in the day, the shadows showed me that the Pompeion was perfectly aligned with the rising sun:
Wandering around the historical site, you will move in and out of the ancient boundary of Athens. One of the major features in the site is a path that goes from the main gate at the Kerameikos to Plato's Academy, which was located outside the city walls. I followed the foot path to the edge of the site, and wondered how many students had taken the path from ancient Athens to the academy over the centuries.

ZOE Was my day & night pal for the past 3 yrs of my retirement. I miss her every minute of my day & I feel hurt no one else in my family says anything about her. I feel bad also because I should of taken her to get the lump checked sooner. Maybe she'd still be here if I did. Even though she was 14.5 yrs old.& I knew she didn't have a lot of time left. Her actually being gone is harder then I expected & I have trouble letting her go in my mind. Zoe was a 13" Beagle, always full of love & very affectionate. I can see her come bouncing down the stairs when I'd get home, and she would get so excited when we'd come back from anywhere. Wagging her tail, going in a circle all happy. I look at all her favorite spots where she would lay down & my eyes swell up with tears. She had arthritis & her little leg would shake, but she was always there for me. It's so hard not having her next to me like she was. I'm I over reacting? It's been 11days since we put her down, why am I still so sad? I felt less for family members who've passed! I know she's not in anymore pain but I just can't stop missing her. I feel lost. Even though I have my cat of 13 yrs still with us, it's not the same. I had to put my 3 yr old cat down 2 days earlier, but Zoe is so much harder to let go. I loved Angeleyes too but Zoe was so much more family. Love & miss u Zoe!!!

Roseville professionals have options as month closes
June 20, 2012 by Sarah
The Roseville Chamber of Commerce will be wrapping up the month in style with the next "Small Business Speaker Series" taking place, as well as the Chamber Breakfast.
Out of these two events, the activity begins on June 26 with the next installment of the chamber's Small Business Speaker Series. Featuring Jeremiah Miller of Forging Leaders as the guest speaker, this upcoming presentation has been entitled "Creating a Successful Culture through Leadership." Whether new hires or other major changes are being made, established standards can go a long way towards promoting internal stability while also helping an administration get more out of its employees. Since the event will be starting at 11:30 am as per usual, this lunch hour schedule is one that makes it easier for working professionals to put in an appearance.
Packed with all sorts of quality content as always, company decision-makers will have plenty of information to go over after this upcoming presentation. After all, attendees will be learning all about how leadership can be used to establish a company's culture. Free for members and $25 for guests, this projects to be another excellent segment of the Small Business Speaker Series.
Two days after the workshop, the Chamber Breakfast will be taking place. Being hosted at the Sierra View Country Club, this is going to be starting fairly early in the morning at 7:00 am. Since a good turnout is expected for the breakfast as well, Roseville entrepreneurs stand to gain quite a bit from getting business card printing done ahead of this event.

This build works well in all PvE content, except for Warmaster where you should use a more specialized build.
The TACC Assault Rifle can be used at all ranges with no noticeable damage drop off. The Spanner Protector should be rolled for healing and links, for self healing and team support.

On September 1st, 2014, four members of the EA Society of DC met to do a test run of our project to comment on proposed regulations. One of us had heard of a proposed EPA regulation through industry contacts and expressed interest in commenting on it, so we decided to take that one as our test case. We met at a University of Maryland computer lab for a day, and spent a few more hours doing follow-up over email. We submitted our comment, which can be read here, before the deadline.
Cost-Benefit Analysis of Cost-Benefit Analysis
Our comment recommended accelerating the regulatory deadline, on the basis of our analysis which suggested that this would save the world about $1.5 billion in economic costs due to global warming. We spent something like 40 person-hours on this, which – if our recommendation is solely responsible for the recommended change – amounts to about $37.5 million per person-hour invested, fairly impressive even if you discount by a large factor for the probability that we affected the outcome.
What We Did
The proposed regulation was to ban a set of refrigerants with a high impact on global warming, now that feasible alternatives with a lower global warming impact had been invented. There were about seven comments posted, of which we were able to read three. Two were from a manufacturer of frozen margarita-makers, asking if their company would be affected by the regulation, and one was a strongly worded emotional comment from an engineer asking the EPA to ban a different refrigerant as well. We were optimistic that we could contribute significantly to the discourse by performing a competent cost-benefit analysis.
The first couple of hours were spent getting a picture of what exactly were the most important effects of the regulation, which turned out to involve a lot of digging, because the rule covered refrigerants that affect a lot of industries. It turned out that some of the biggest global warming savings were from banning a few refrigerants used in automobiles, so we decided to focus on just this aspect of the regulation.
Once we had a basic framework of analysis, we set about gathering sources to estimate the annual impact of the regulation on global warming, and building our model for what the effect was, noting our sources for data in a Google Doc separately from the Excel doc with the model. Our initial estimate was that the effect of the regulation was strongly positive, and that the deadline should be accelerated.
After we wrote up a first draft of the comment, we started to cite our sources, and couldn't find the source for one of our numbers. When we tried to re-estimate this part, the numbers we found were different, and the estimated impact of the regulation was negative. By this point it was getting late and we were all tired, so we called it a night.
Later, communicating over email, we realized that when counting the social cost of carbon, we hadn't correctly adjusted for time. Once we corrected this, the numbers came out strongly positive again. We finished the write-up, satisfied ourselves that the reasoning was correct and backed up by facts, and submitted the comment.
Lessons Learned
- Spend a while figuring out the most important few effects of the regulation. This is something we did, which saved us a lot of time.
- Make sure someone with access to the venue commits to get there in advance. Two of us were waiting outside the locked computer lab until someone with a key card got there.
- List sources, reasons as we build our model, writing the whole thing down in one place, rather than building the model first, then going back and citing sources/evidence later. This would have helped us notice problems earlier.
- Expect to have to go back and change our minds later, don't spend a lot of time making it perfect, give people a chance to sleep on it.
As of now there appear to have been 194 comments submitted. Many appear to be from people in industries affected, but a quick skim of a few of them suggest that most are not related to the auto industry, which is the effect we focused on.
We don't have a good way to estimate how influential our comment was yet, but the results of this attempt were encouraging. Further iterations of this project seem high-value.

Shiite alliance to lead Iraq
Iraq has confirmed the conservative Shiite United Iraqi Alliance as the winners of December elections, finally paving the way for the formation of a new government and opening of parliament.
The confirmation came as at least seven Iraqis were killed and 17 wounded in a car bomb attack in southern Baghdad.
The chief election commissioner Adel al-Lami read the final certified results which were the same as the provisional ones announced on January 20.
The final results for 275-member parliament gave 128 seats to the Shiite alliance, 53 for the Kurdish Alliance and 44 for the Sunni-led National Concord Front and 25 for former premier Iyad Allawi's Iraqi National List.
On January 20 the commission had declared the provisional results but all parties had lodged a number of appeals, claiming they deserved more seats.
In the three weeks since the uncertified results were given, some 24 complaints by nearly every political party were examined by the Transitional Electoral Panel, led by the chief judge of Iraq's highest court.
"The judicial commission examined the 24 complaints and these did not change the results," said Lami.
According to the constitution, the new parliament should sit within the next 15 days.
Plea for life
Kidnapped US reporter Jill Carroll made a fresh plea for her life in a video released by her captors.
Dressed in a headscarf, a composed Carroll urged US authorities to agree to the demands of her captors "as quickly as possible", in a video aired by Kuwait's Al Rai television on late Thursday.
"I'm fine, please just do whatever they want," said the 28-year-old journalist, who was freelancing for the Christian Science Monitor when she was abducted on January 7 in Baghdad.
"There is very short time," she said.
The video was the first time in recent months that such a message has been broadcast with the audio.
Arab satellite channel Al-Jazeera has recently not broadcast the audio portions of kidnapper videos, a policy apparently not shared by the Kuwaiti channel.
Carroll's calm measured delivery in the current video was stark contrast to her harrowing appearance on Al-Jazeera on January 31, when she made an emotional plea for her release with tears streaming down her cheeks.
She is being held by a group calling itself the Brigades of Vengeance, which has called for the freeing of all female prisoners from Iraqi jails as a condition for her release.
On Thursday Major General Rick Lynch, spokesman for the coalition forces in Iraq said that the US military will soon release a fresh batch of 450 detainees, but did not clarify whether there would be any women prisoners among them.
Last week the military had released 50 male detainees, while in late January, more than 400 were released, including five women.
The US and Iraqi authorities have repeatedly denied any link between the detainee releases and Carroll's abduction.

Blackpool manager Ian Holloway remains unsure whether he can persuade goalkeeper Matthew Gilks to sign a new contract.
Gilks has seen his career revitalised during Holloway's time at Bloomfield Road and he played a key role in the club's promotion to the Premier League.
He has caught the eye of many observers in the top flight and has also earned a call-up to the Scotland squad.
The 28-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and Holloway is aware that he may not be able to hang on to the former Rochdale keeper.
Holloway would bear no grudges if Gilks decides to secure a more lucrative deal elsewhere, but will not give up on the prospects of retaining his services.
"How many fans would believe we are in the Premier League and he is in goal for us playing out of his skin?" said Holloway. "All sorts of people are rumoured to want him.
"I was sick and fed up with the stick he got in his first game and I have worked my socks off to help him. He has more than done that.
"He is a magnificent man and I am delighted how well he is playing.
"If I can keep him I would love to. If I can't, he goes with my blessing. Unfortunately he is out of contract and what is his agent telling him, who knows?
"What I do know is I have Paul Rachubka training now, Richard Kingson and young Mark Halstead.
"If Matt goes one of them might have to play. It won't be that much of a hardship, but Matt owes me nothing."

Warning: Do NOT attempt to do any of these exercises
without first discussing them with your doctor!!!!
|||| Level One Exercises |||| Level Two Exercises |||| Doug's Core Program ||||
The above 'Levels of Rehabilitative exercises, with the exception of the Gym Ball hyper-extension exercises, are all classified as 'Dynamic Stabilization Exercises' (DSE). The theory of this style of rehabilitative exercise is to achieve strengthening of the Core Muscle Stabilizers of the spine (transversus abdominus & multifidus) while keeping the patient in a 'Neutral Spine' position (1). In other words, we are going to get that back strong again without putting undue stress and strain on the injured disc, facets and ligaments.
DSE exercises are geared toward the chronically disabled and post-surgical patients, whom could never tolerate the out-dated Extension exercises of McKenzie, nor the Flexion exercises of Williams, which puts unnecessary motion forces into an already danged and inflamed disc and/or facet joints.
After any serious injury to the back the Core Muscle Stabilizers of the spine become rapidly weakened and even atrophied (4). By three month the weakness and atrophy will be even more debilitating and apparent and easily show-up on MRI scans (12 ,13). Surgery also has been known to destroy the strength of the core stabilizers; it has been reported that the trunk muscles suffer a 30% decrease in strength after discectomy surgery (2)! So, we have some work to do, in order to get our strength back following surgery.
It is imperative that we get and keep our "Core Stabilizers" as strong as possible. Why is this important, you may ask? Because our damaged disc needs help!
As we have learned from my other pages, the lumbar disc is responsible to 'carry' the weight of the body or carry the 'axial load' of the body. If the disc is damaged and inflamed, it doesn't want to carry anything because this downward pressure HURTS in the same way it hurts to walk on a sprained ankle.
The only way to take some of this irritating pressure (axial load) off the disc and facets is by making the Core Stabilizers stronger. You see, the Core Stabilizers also help carry the 'axial load' of the body and will assist the disc in its weight bearing duties, as well as protect the disc from other directional forces. So, strengthening the Core Stabilizers will reduce mechanical irritation upon the disc and facets, lessen your pain (3), and allow you more 'up-time' (time spent standing, walking, sitting).
Yes! Exercise therapy for chronic lower back pain is recommended by several well respected guidelines (9 ,10,11). In fact there are increasing numbers of high quality randomized controlled studies which demonstrate that 'Core Stabilizing exercise' have a profoundly positive and long-term effect on both decreasing lower back pain and improving over-all patient function (5,6,7,8).
I have my patients perform these exercises three times per week. The exercises towards the top of the pages are easier and should be done first. Once mastered you may add new ones into your routine. Initially your secessions should only be about 10 minutes long. As you get stronger, your secessions should get longer and longer, up to about 60 minutes. Spend about half the exercise period doing the face-up exercises (which strengthen the transversus abdominus muscle) and the other half doing the face down exercises (which strengthens the multifidi muscles). I also have my patients walk for 10 to 45 minutes on the days they are not exercising.
A final word of warning: disc injuries that involve nerve root damage (radiculopathy) are often very difficult to rehabilitate. They can't be 'pushed' or 'rushed'. You must take things very slow! Believe me, I've tried so hard to 'speed-heal' myself and it ALWAYS ENDS IN SUFFERING! ( in fact I'm suffering as I type this very page (5-30-04) as the result of over-doing-it on my exercises...I never learn!) So please, do as I say and NOT as I do. Find a routine of exercise that works and stick with it. DON'T ADD TOO MANY NEW EXERCISES AT ONCE. If you do, you'll never know which one hurt you and you'll have to throw them all out! So, have patients "grasshoppers" and only add one new exercise per week.

Two days after a 12-hour round trip for a regional victory at Plain Dealing, Vermilion Catholic was back home with one of preparation for their Class 1A state quarterfinal against a rested and deep No. 7 St. Mary's of Natchitoches club.
Spurred by a third-quarter surge, No. 2 Vermilion Catholic relied on the scoring of guard Ashailee Brailey and a suffocating defense that resulted in a 41-30 victory before an overflow crowd.
"They instill that in us. We always play 32 minutes," Brailey said. "That's what helped us."
There's no rest for the weary with Vermilion Catholic (24-4) set to face No. 6 White Castle in the Top 28 tournament at Burton Coliseum in Lake Charles, at 7:45 p.m. Tuesday.
"We talked about having to do the little things right," VC coach Kim Guidry said. "We knew they would come in well coached, with 12 players that could play with a great post (Shelby Bishop). I asked them if we were ready for that challenge? They answered it, I thought."
Brailey scored 13 of her game-high 21 points during a nine-minute stretch of the first half with center Kaylen Collins and guard Lexie Langlinais adding nine apiece.
In order to try and combat St. Mary's depth and full-court pressure, Guidry said her team made a concerted effort to go inside to Collins to draw fouls and stop the clock when necessary.
She also utilized some of her second-half timeouts more for a brief respite than for strategy.
"We were getting tired, so that stopped the clock. I used a few more timeouts in the second half just to give their legs a rest and get some hydration to finish the game," she said.
After finishing the first half on a 9-4 run that resulted in a 25-20 halftime lead, VC opened with a 7-2 spurt with Langlinais making a 3-pointer from the wing, Collins adding a putback and Brailey another basket to make it 32-22 with 3:34 remaining.
Brailey's basket was a direct result of VC's hustle with Collins claiming a loose ball on the floor and assisting in the made field goal. Langlinais' 3-pointer was set up by Leah Camel's diving effort on the floor that led to a steal.
VC extended its lead to 37-23 after three quarters when Collins scored on another putback and dropped in a pair of free throws in the last two minutes of the quarter.
St. Mary's (23-7) got to within 37-27 on a four-point play from Mazie Dubois, who knocked down a 3-pointer and made the subsequent free throw with 6:34 remaining.
VC never allowed its lead to dip below double digits, limiting St. Mary's to 27 percent shooting and forcing 22 turnovers.
The Eagles missed all eight of their fourth-quarter shots but shortened the game by dribbling time off the clock on Brailey's two free throws with 1:55 to play that also produced VC's final points.
"In the second half, the ball started really bouncing their way," said St. Mary coach Johnny Cox, whose team had a 14-game win streak snapped. "They outhustled us during that stretch so they created that. VC deserves a lot of credit. They all played hard and played well together. They deserve it."

One of the smartest types of renovations that you can undertake is a bathroom renovation. Renovating your bathroom is not only a financially savvy decision that increases the value of your home, but it also greatly increases the aesthetics of your bathroom. You can finally turn your home bathroom into the place that you want it to be.
Before undertaking a plumbing renovation project, there are certain considerations that you should make. These considerations mainly come in the form of deciding what kind of bathroom plumbing units you want. Choosing the right units can make a world of difference when it comes to the appearance of the materials, cost of repairs, and even ease of use.
Choosing the Right Metals
When it comes to the metals in your bathroom, you'll mainly be dealing with your bathroom's plumbing fixtures. There are many different options you can choose from, including brass, steel, zinc, and plastic. In terms of the metal finish you can also choose chrome, nickel, bronze, brass and pewter.
To begin with, the best metal to choose is certainly brass. Compared to economical options like steel, zinc, and plastic, brass will last you longer, it is smoother, more dense, and highly durable. If you choose brass, make sure that the fixtures are lead free. In terms of finishes, each of the options listed are good quality, so it just comes down to a matter of taste and personal style.
Choosing a Shower or Tub
The second consideration that you'll need to make for your bathroom plumbing is choosing a shower or a tub. As This Old House points out, you also have a number of choices when determining which bathroom fixtures are best for you. For example, there are two types of shower fixtures that you can choose from – a rim mounted tap that sits on your tub, or a hand held model that can be installed for easier use and maneuvering.
In addition to choosing the style of plumbing fixture for your shower or tub, you also need to decide upon the temperature control of the unit. These days, some shower heads have sensors that prevent scalding by detecting temperature that is too hot. You can also choose a traditional method if it works better for you.
Before You Buy
Finally, one of the main concerns that most homeowners have when renovating their bathroom is that they are misinformed about the items that they are purchasing. To avoid this issue, the easiest solution is to seek out professional advice before purchasing plumbing fixtures. Pipe Perfection recommends consulting your home bathroom renovation specialist about any fixtures that you want to install. This step provides you more clarity about the items that will go into the renovation and it will also ensure that you're making the best decision for your new and improved bathroom.
Choosing to renovate your bathroom is a big decision, which is why you need to be extra careful about the choices that you make. For your renovation, you want to make sure that you are choosing quality products, plumbing that suits your personal preference, and especially the right professionals to do the job. Once you have these specifications together, you're informed and ready for a successful renovation.

The Services Offered by Excavation Contractors
Earthwork is a crucial component in construction. Excavation contractors are specialists who work with earth to rendered pieces of it suitable for purposes of building. They move around dirt or soil, rocks and other materials on such land so that buildings attain the correct elevations. This is critical to prevent flooding of the buildings when it rains. They ensure too that the earth foundation remains solid as to support a building's weight. Earthwork is diverse in nature and thus requires many moving earth materials around such sites. Additional materials could also require being trucked in to avail a suitable surface. For clients with excavation needs within Melbourne for instance, it is wise consulting a contractor for excavation Melbourne offers even for minor tasks like digging a basement or adding a small segment to the home. In general excavation contractors offer a number of important services to their clients.
1. Clearing and Grubbing
This task is performed before actual excavation work starts and involves stripping land of undergrowth, stumps, trees as well as shrubs. One can among other special services approach vacuum excavation professionals for this undertaking.
2. Rough Grading
Once the excavation contractor is through with the task of grubbing and clearing the land, some places might remain that require filling whereas other extremely high land-sections may need cutting down of soil. The action of "cutting and filling" land before undertaking construction work is known as rough grading. By example, a contractor for Envirolink provides can carry out the cutting and filling process, with respect to a set of civil plans which indicated existing elevations of land while overlaying the purposed elevations. Excavation starts by cutting down excessively-high areas and moving such material to areas where soil is too low. The material gets tracked down using a bulldozer to ascertain firmness and compaction. As well, various other experts such as those for directional drilling Melbourne has can also be of great assistance during this operation.
3. Trench Excavation
Trench excavation is primarily applied for digging ditches for underground-utility placement. The utility (water line, sewer drain or storm drain pipe) gets placed into trench, covered and compacted to make the area even and smooth in all without bumps and dips. Open trenches can be utilized for diverting away water from buildings and towards a designated area for avoiding erosion and flooding. The main task of a contractor involved in trenching Melbourne avails is preparing sites for various construction objectives that could involve for instance residential as well as commercial purposes. It includes compacting building pads for foundations, driveways, basements, parking lots and nearly every developed surface. This is accomplished using heavy equipment like compactors, rollers and bulldozers. Other pieces of equipment utilized for digging include backhoes and excavators. Such digging equipment removes soil from extremely-high areas while the bulldozers push the soil extracted into low areas. These elevations are marked by surveyors, while excavation contractors are guided to correct heights using lasers. This same process is applied for a residential, commercial, infrastructure or utility project. Obviously, executing this kind of work requires employees with diverse kinds of equipment as well as technical capacities.
The normal nature of earth work is rather dangerous and demands expertise and experience. It means that contractors need to abide by the prescribed standards of procedures for occupational health and safety. Hiring the services of a professional in excavation Melbourne has is among the prudent steps that clients can take to ensure meeting these requirements.

Advantages of directional drilling
Life is a constant process of improving ourselves and learning to acclimatize with the changing environment around us in order to survive. Likewise, construction industry is undergoing constant change for the better. It's for this reason that outdated methods of piping in the industry are constantly being replaced with more updated, modern ones. Methods that give room for control and precision while at the same time reduce negative impacts on the environment that initially had been almost out of control due to the traditional means are given preference. It's for this reason that methods like directional drilling have become popular in construction.
What is directional drilling
You may be wondering what directional drilling is. This is a method that is applied by technicians when locating pipes for utilities. All they have to do is drill the ground in a horizontal position and as this is being done by you, they do not have to disrupt landscaping. This is a better way of doing it for initially, technicians had to dig across an expanse of soil to install pipes. This would normally take a while, stretching to weeks and also required a lot of manpower to do trenching for pipes. It's no doubt things are at a better place now.
The process usually involves a small screw connected to a hollow pipe of a tracked directional boring machine that is launched into the ground at an angle. As the drill gets pushed to the ground, a drilling fluid containing bentonite polymer and water follows. This solution is meant to make the hole stable. The drill then results to underground semicircular arcs and then leaves the ground. To make the hole larger so that it can host pipes, a reamer is sent back through. Finally, the polyethylene pipes are fused together along the lengths, and then they are heated until a seamless connection on the entire length is achieved.
Among the advantages of using this system is durability. This is because the pipes are very strong. Another advantage is that the installation becomes much faster without having to disrupt the landscape which is unlike systems of chain trenching Melbourne professionals follow, which have to significantly disrupt the soil. The cost of installation also significantly reduces as a smaller crew will be used. The convenience of being able to install pipes anywhere is another big win for people who will use this system. The system also does not impact the environment, in this case the soil, because the pipe connections are lasting; therefore, soil contamination will be negligible.
Directional drilling experts are in the market to help you with the installation of your utilities. All you have to do is locate one that is close to you and is experienced in the area. The ways that you stand to benefit from this kind of system are immense, including reduced cost, flexibility, durability and speed of installation. Also unlike Melbourne chain trenching procedures, here you do not have to disrupt the landscape as you drill. Most importantly you cannot fail to recognize the impact on the environment. You can also view more about directional drilling by clicking the link http://envirolink.com.au.
The Importance of Earth Moving Equipment in Construction and Mining Industry
Australia is said to be the largest producer of opal accounting for 95% of world supply of opal gemstones. These precious minerals usually find application in the making of jewelry and ornaments for they have amazing colors and are beautifully created. Today, the mining of the mineral can be done by a single person or by conducting underground open cut operations. Earthmoving equipment, therefore, finds great application in this area. If you work in the mining industry and are looking for earth moving equipment for your work though, you will need to put some things into consideration.
Reserve your equipment in advance
Whether you are embarking on an opal search mission or just have a construction project underway, the importance of working with specialized equipment cannot be overlooked. As most of these equipment can be costly, hiring one is an affordable option. However, you will need to make early reservations to avoid last minute rush as these equipment are in high demand with the construction projects and mining activities going on in Australia. Also sometimes earthmoving equipment can be booked for a while, therefore, you may get inconvenienced
Learn how to operate the equipment
Learning how to operate heavy earthmoving equipment can be quite mind taxing. This is especially if you do not have experience working with such kind of equipment. Therefore, ensure you find a hiring firm or selling firm that will be able to provide training on the same. Also you can find manuals and tutorials on the Internet so that you can operate the machines well.
Find high quality equipment
Whether you are buying or using earthmoving equipment hire services for your project you want to embark on, the importance of quality cannot be overemphasized. High quality equipment will protect you from constant breakdowns that can be quite unnerving. They can even go as far as affecting the quality of our work. Therefore, ensure the machinery you pick is one that was manufactured with the highest standards.
Why hiring is a considerable option
Well apart from the cost saving benefits that one derives from the services of excavation equipment hire Melbourne firms provide, there are other benefits too. First is the fact that you will be assured of working with high quality equipment. This is because many hiring companies want to have equipment that will last a long while. Another benefit is you do not have to worry about maintaining the equipment. This will be taken care of by the hiring company, and all you have to do is pay for the cost of hiring and enjoy using the services of the equipment. Additionally, the hiring companies will do the delivery and collection of the equipment from your site. How convenient!
Earth moving equipment are very important tools when it comes to mining and construction projects. They help make work easier as well as less tiresome. There are plenty of firms, which provide equipment forearthmoving Melbourne wide for hire which anyone can utilize especially when they are tight on budget or engaging on temporary works.

A very pregnant Ciara posed for a maternity shoot with W magazine and she looks adorable. I'm just glad the photos aren't all showing Ciara with an exposed belly…those have never been that attractive to me and they are so cliche'.
Anyway, Ciara, 28, is eight months pregnant and in her spread she dishes on pregnancy fashion, her unborn son and how pregnancy has changed her body. Check out excerpts from her interview below.
"It feels good to not have to wonder whether your abs are tight enough," she says. "I like not being so perfect."
Whether or not she wants her children to have a career in music like their parents:
"It's a really hard world. If that's what their heart yearns for, then I'm down. I believe in allowing your child to be who they want to be—as long as they want to be something great."
Ciara also notes that she has received parenting advice from Kim Kardashian and will be releasing a new album soon after she gives birth. Read the full interview here.
