Why do I still feel pain in my foot after having my foot amputated?

Cleaning with LemonsIf you're looking for natural alternatives to household cleaning products, here's an interesting secret. It's all in the lemon! The lemon contains acids that can remove stains and rusty spots in your kitchen utensils and dishes. Try out your lemon cleaning skills on these things:
Countertops - Try dripping some lemon in baking soda on countertops then wipe with a damp sponge and dry. Do not use on marble, stainless steel or delicate stone.
Cutting boards - Remove undesirable stains from your wooden cutting boards and utensils with lemon juice. Lemon juice is a natural bleach and deodorizer. Cut a lemon in half, rub the juice on the board and let it sit for 20 minutes. Dry with cloth.
Dishes - Add a teaspoon of lemon juice to your dishwashing detergent to fight grease-covered dishes.
Faucets - Get rid of that lime scale by rubbing some lemon juice on water fixtures and letting it sit overnight.
Garbage disposal - Throw some pieces of lemon through the disposal to replace any unwanted odors with that fresh lemon smell.

PHILADELPHIA - For the first time in more than six years -- officially, six years and two days -- the University of Pennsylvania and Pennsylvania State University meet on the hardwood. This intrastate rivalry has seen 43 games previously, with the Quakers holding a commanding 31-12 advantage over the Nittany Lions.
GAME 4 PENN (1-2) vs. PENN STATE (4-0)
Tuesday, Nov. 25, 2008 * 7:30 p.m.
The Palestra * Philadelphia
TV: None
RADIO: WXPN 88.5 FM (Brian Seltzer, Vince Curran)
Penn Game Notes (PDF)
Quaker Notemeal...
Through two games this season, Penn has had two different players lead it in scoring (Tyler Bernardini vs. UNC and Monmouth, Kevin Egee vs. Drexel) and three different players lead in rebounding (Jack Eggleston vs. UNC, Brennan Votel vs. Drexel, Conor Turley vs. Monmouth).
Bernardini has reached the 20-point mark twice already, giving him eight such games for his career; both he and Egee have scored in double figures in all three games this season.
Votel entered this season with just one double-figure scoring game as a collegian; he has reached that mark each of the last two contests, with 17 points at Drexel and 14 Saturday vs. Monmouth.
Freshman guard Zack Rosen has dished out 13 assists without a turnover in the last two games; for the season, he has 18 assists and three turnovers, a 6.0 ratio.
Sophomore Remy Cofield scored 12 points Saturday vs. Monmouth, his third career double-figure scoring game and first since Feb. 11, 2007 vs. Princeton.
Senior Tommy McMahon saw his first action since the 2006-07 season Saturday, playing 10 minutes and recording four points and two rebounds. McMahon missed last season after having surgery prior to the campaign.
Penn has 10 players on its roster who started at least one game last year; 10 who had at least one double-figure scoring game a year ago; and three players who had a 20-point outing.
Penn vs. Penn State
Pennsylvania's intrastate rivals have met 43 times, with the Quakers holding a 31-12 lead over the Nittany Lions.
This represents the first meeting between the squads since Nov. 23, 2002almost exactly six years ago to the day. In that game, also played here at The Palestra, the Quakers rolled to a 62-37 win over the Nittany Lions. That snapped Penn State's four-game winning streak in the series, from 1995-2000.
Thanks mostly to its dominance of Penn State, the Quakers boast a winning record against Big Ten opponents, at 46-45 overall.
Illinois ... 0-6
Indiana ... 1-3
Iowa ... 1-2

2008 Philly Hoop Group Classic
Penn is not participating in this year's Classic, which concludes Friday and Saturday here at The Palestra. However, Penn State is. The Nittany Lions will play three games in five days here at The Palestra, in fact, and are part of the evening sessions on Friday and Saturday, playing Rhode Island Friday and either Villanova or Towson Saturday. PSU's games with NJIT and Hartford, played prior to its arrival in Philadelphia, were also part of the Classic.
The National Stage
Penn certainly made a splash with its first two games this season. The Quakers opened Nov. 15 with the No. 1 team in the country, North Carolina, then followed that up Nov. 18 with a meeting against Drexel that was part of ESPN's "College Hoops Tip-Off Marathon," a 23-hour smorgasbord of games and insight throughout the ESPN family of networks.
Injury Report
Penn has played its first three games without Aron Cohen, Justin Reilly and Darren Smith. Junior Andreas Schreiber was on the UNC trip, but sat out the game due to injury. Freshman Mike Howlett played eight minutes at UNC, but has not dressed for the last two games due to injury. After sitting out the first two games, senior Tommy McMahon saw his first action since 2006-07 Saturday against Monmouth, playing 10 minutes and recording four points and two rebounds.
Notemeal From Monmouth...
Penn forced 26 turnovers and collected 16 steals, both highs in the Glen Miller coaching era with the Quakers.
Penn scored 57 points in the second half, one shy of the high for the Glen Miller coaching era (the Quakers scored 58 vs. Florida Gulf Coast two years ago).
One game after going 13-of-28 from the foul line (46.4 percent), Penn shot 20-of-24 from the charity stripe (83.3 percent).
Senior Tommy McMahon saw his first action since the 2006-07 season, playing 10 minutes and scoring four points with two rebounds. He sat out last year after having preseason surgery.
Senior Brennan Votel scored 14 points, his second straight double-digit scoring effort; prior to this season, Votel had one double-figure scoring game in his career (11 points vs. Harvard on Feb. 10, 2007).
Sophomore Remy Cofield had 12 points off the bench, his third career double-figure scoring game and first since Feb. 12 of last season (11 vs. Princeton). Cofield shot 5-of-5 from the field, and also had three rebounds and three steals.
Sophomore Conor Turley filled his 18 minutes of action with a team-high eight rebounds, three assists, two steals and a blocked shot.

With the end of high street DVD rental and online movie streaming taking over, I think it's fair to say mid budget films like The Guest will probably not be made for much longer. If you have a movie package with Sky or Virgin etc you tend to watch the 'big movies' in your spare time and not scroll down to see what else is available. Because of that this year I have decided to buy most of my movies from Amazon Marketplace and then flip them at places like CEX or on the local market and invest that money in more stuff. A movie package is a bit too expensive for me. I don't want to watch multiplex fodder and so online second hand movies at great prices allow me to pick and chose the move interesting and quirky ones to review and see. The Guest is certainly that.
The star of this retro American action horror is none other than Downtown Abbey's Dan Stevens, doing a rather good Texas accent and a chap I once met playing cricket for a village team. He was rather good and a cricket nut and goes to a lot of Surrey matches. The film is from Simon Barrett and director Adam Winguard, who did the equally genre teasing 'You're Next'. It's not like many movies you have seen before and enjoys mixing many genres. But for the ladies Mathew Crawley is in it and he has a six-pack so that should be enough, doing a rather good impression of Ryan Gosling, which is no bad thing.
• Dan Stevens as "David"
• Maika Monroe as Anna Peterson
• Brendan Meyer as Luke Peterson
• Sheila Kelley as Laura Peterson
• Lance Reddick as Major Richard Carver
• Leland Orser as Spencer Peterson
• Tabatha Shaun as Kristen
• Chase Williamson as Zeke Hastings
• Ethan Embry as Higgins
• Joel David Moore as Craig
• Steven John Brown as Mike
• Brenden Wedner as Ian
• Alex Knight as Mr. Lyles
• Frank Bond as Mr. Alston
• Jesse Luken as Drew
• Kelsey Montoya as Jason
• Justin Yu as Blair
• A. J. Bowen as Austin
• Chris Ellis as Hendricks
• Candice K. Patton as Sgt. Halway
• Chris Harding as Caleb Peterson
All American mom Laura Peterson (Sheila Kelley) recently lost her son Callum in Afghanistan and proudly flies the American flag outside her middle-class home with pictures of her son Callum proudly displayed all around the house. Those memoires are about to come flooding back when handsome and clean cut blue-eyed stranger 'David' rings her doorbell and tells her was is in Callum's unit and a buddy in Afghanistan and come to pay his respects. Mrs Peterson is lifted by the likable young mans visit and he appears to be who he says and in the photographs with her son in the unit and so it's not long before he is welcome in the Paterson's home as a guest as he has time on his hands after laving the army.
Mom puts him in Callums old room, much to the concern of Callums hot sister Anna (Maika Monroe). Obviously she is weary of him at first and maybe he does have PTSD or something but soon draw to his blue eyes and six-pack. Dad Spencer (Leland Orser) is just happy to have another man in the house. Luke (Brendan Meyer), a 16-year-old high school soft more completes the Peterson clan.
David is a bit of a dude/badass and soon starts 'fixing' the families problems and making himself useful and so indispensable to the Petersons. He is great around the house and quickly deals with David's bullies at school and Mr Paterson career promotion prospects. He is the ideal big brother for Luke and potential boyfriend for Anna. But something still doesn't sit right with David and when bad things start happening in town Anna calls the army to check him out. She was right to and David is not quite as stable as he looks and mayhem is about to arrive as the school Halloween dance nears and Major Richard Carver (Lance Reddick) and his SWAT team arrive in town to bring him in.
The Guest has definitely got something but it hasn't quite got enough of it to make this a cracker. Dan Stevens fun one note dark performance (think Ryan Gosling in every movie he has made) keeps the film tongue-in-cheek fun and sadistic as the peripheral unknown cast exaggerate his performance and so impact his menace some more. I didn't watch Downtown Abbey but I'm guessing he took this movie to bury that typecasting of the posh boy, which most of our top British actors seem to be these days.
With its Cool electro retro soundtrack (think Terminator) the film is intentionally structured as a horror film with the pace of a thriller. In fact its multi genre at times. The first act is psychological drama with a slow build up to the second act as we move the film into action thriller territory in the and on to its stock horror slasher ending, the final Halloween sequence a real treat. There is black humor and twisted cliché aplenty and also surprise genre twisting that produce notable moments. It's quite simply not a film that sticks to convention and likes to play with B-Movie staples.
I enjoyed it enough to recommend it to you and certainly not suited to kids as it's very violent at times although not big on gratuitous sex and nudity. Although the plot is straightforward action thriller stuff it's suitably disguised and some cool moments to be enjoyed, the ultimate antihero turning into anything but by the end as the bullets fly and the knife is twisted in the gut. It will be interesting to see what director Winguard comes up with next and encouraging knowing there are people out there still trying to make films like this. Top end 3/5 to watch out for folks!

The Radio Times –'One of the many pleasures of director Adam Wingard's tough, fun thriller "The Guest" is seeing Matthew Crawley -- er, British actor Dan Stevens -- serve up a mesmerizing star turn of psycho charm'.
Globe & Mail –'The pleasures of The Guest lie mainly in anticipating how the next expected corner will be turned'.
The Mail –'Dan Stevens] plays wholesome, aloof, seductive, dangerous, psychotic... He nails every single beat'.

Village Voice –'A transcendent comic chiller, when The Guest's characters are in peril we actually care, and Wingard respectfully makes the kills clean and quick'.

Lucknow, July 19 (IANS) Congress leader Digvijay Singh, who has consistently proposed that Rahul Gandhi take on a more stellar role in the party and government, said Thursday he was happy that the party general secretary had agreed to play "a more proactive role in the party and government".
Addressing a news conference in the city hours after Gandhi told a news channel that he had agreed to do so, Singh said: "I am happy to note that he has agreed to play a more proactive role in the party and government."
Singh said Gandhi had "respected the sentiment of Congress workers all over the country" with his decision.
Singh, who has been a vociferous proponent of Rahul Gandhi taking up the top job, said he was only expressing "the views of the mass of Congress workers of the country".
Singh also said that Gandhi's role would be decided by the party president Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi's mother.
Asked if Gandhi would replace Manmohan Singh as prime minister, Digvijay Singh said he could not comment on that.
Meanwhile, in New Delhi, the Congress has said that Gandhi is to play number two position in the party.
Party media department chairman Janardan Dwivedi said: "In future, his role would be after Congress president. That is clear."
Earlier, Rahul Gandhi told NDTV:."The decision (of his involvement) has been taken, the timing is up to the leadership."
To a question on central schemes in Uttar Pradesh, Singh also said that it was up to the Akhilesh Yadav government to ensure that the state gets the full benefit of central schemes like the National Rural Health Mission and there is no corruption.

Kuwait is strategically positioned at the mouth of waterways to Iraq and Iran, giving it the advantage to serve as a regional hub for shipping and transportation activities.

Kuwait OVERVIEW The land area of Kuwait is about 17,818 sq. kms and has nearly 500 kms of coastline along the Arabian Gulf. Kuwait is strategically positioned at the mouth of waterways to Iraq and Iran, giving it the advantage to serve as a regional hub for shipping and transportation activities thus its ease of access to S. Arabia, Iraq and Iran makes it an ideal choice as a major trading centre. CHARACTERISTICS OF MARKET Kuwait's economy is heavily dependent on oil revenues which account for almost 50% of GDP, more than 80% of government revenues and over 90% of export earnings. The surge in oil revenue that Kuwait has enjoyed in the last few years has fuelled strong growth that has cascaded to other sectors which the government is keen on sustaining. The government in its attempt to diversify its economy from the dependence on oil revenue and assuring its future prosperity is looking to position the state as a regional trade and finance centre competing with countries such as UAE, Qatar and Bahrain. The development and expansion of the state?s transport infrastructure which are currently underway is a step in this direction. www.uktradeinvest.gov.uk Page 3 of 11 Ports ? Kuwait Kuwait Ports Infrastructure Kuwait has three commercial ports which are an integral part of its transport network. The three ports ? Shuwaikh, Shuaiba and Doha are operated by Kuwait Ports Authority (KPA), a public sector body run on a commercial basis under the authority of the Ministry of Communications. Shuwaikh port is considered the main commercial port for Kuwait. The port has a total land area of 3.2m sq.meters and 1.2m sq.meters water basin area. The port has 21 berths of which 14 berth have 10meters depth, four with 8.5 meters depth and three berths with 6.7meters depth. The total length of all berths is 4,055 meters. The vessels traffic to and from the port passes through a Navigation Channel dredged inside Kuwait Bay. The length of the channel is around 8kms with a depth of 8.5 meters at minimum water tide level. The Port can receive vessels of 7.5meters draft at any tide condition and vessels of 9.5meters draft at high tide. Shuwaikh?s container terminal (SCT) covers an area of 26 hectares and is used for both exported and imported containers. Shuwaikh has a ship repair facility, which is run by HEISCO situated off berth 2 measuring 190meters by 32meters. The floating dry dock can accommodate vessels upto 35,000 tonnes deadweight. Located 45 kms south of Kuwait city, Shuaiba port is Kuwait?s second most important commercial port. The port has 20 commercial and container berths as well as an oil pier (which is operated by Kuwait National Petroleum Co). The oil pier has a depth of 16 meters. Shuaiba has an extensive conveyor network for handling bulk petrochemical exports, as well as several modern workshops for maintenance of marine harbour craft and other equipment. The port has two basins for small craft and barges. The craft basin has a depth alongside of 4meters and comprises three piers. The barge basin has a depth of 6meters and offers four piers ranging from 157meters to 287meters in length. Most of Kuwait?s maritime trade is carried out through the ports of Shuwaikh and Shuaiba. Between the two ports, they have cargo handling capacity of 1.2m TEU. Doha port, located to the North of Kuwait City is the smallest of Kuwait Ports Authority (KPA) ports with a depth of 4.3 meters. The port is used to berth dhows, barges and small coastal vessels. The port offers nine piers covering over 2,500 meters of quay length. The port contains warehousing facilities that covers an area of 8110 sq. meters and cattle pen of 3250 sq. meters area. www.uktradeinvest.gov.uk Page 4 of 11 Ports ? Kuwait Oil Terminals Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KNPC), a subsidiary of KPC, operates the country?s refineries and associated export facilities. KNPC?s three refineries are: Mina Al-Ahmadi, Mina Shuaiba and Mina Abdulla. Kuwait has a well-developed infrastructure for exporting crude oil, refined products, and LPG for which it has four oil terminals located near its refineries. The largest are Mina Ahmadi and Mina Abdullah. The others are at Shuaiba and at Mina Saud (Al Zour) in the Divided Zone. Mina Al-Ahmadi handles most of Kuwait?s petroleum exports. Twelve offshore berths can load more than 2 million bpd of oil for which it can accommodate large oil tankers. Mina Al-Ahmadi has four facilities. The south pier has eight berths varying in depth from 12 to 15 meters. The north pier has four berths with a depth of about 18 meters and can handle tankers with a cargo of up to 100,000 tons. The artificial sea-island, which could handle 375,000 ton tankers, consists of a loading platform with six docking platforms in almost 30 meters of water. The pier at Mina Shuaiba has four berths and can receive tankers up to 100,000 tons. Mina Abdulla has an artificial sea-island in 13 to 17 meters of water and an off-load capacity of 214,000 tons. Mina Al Zour (Mina Saud) is an oil terminal, loading crude from the southern oil fields. It can accept vessels upto approximately DWT 140,000 for loading full cargo and up to approximately DWT 370,000 for loading part cargo. Maximum draught allowed is normally 15.85 meters (52 feet). Bubiyan Port Project With an area of 860 sq. kms, Bubiyan is the largest of Kuwait?s islands. The island?s central location at the mouth of waterways to Iraq and Iran will provide the port with the potential to serve as a major deep-sea staging area for regional shipping and transportation activities. Upon completion Bubiyan port will provide easy access to Umm Qasr and also link Iraq, Iran and Saudi Arabia via a planned rail network. The cost of the Bubiyan port project is estimated to be around $4 billion, which is a component of a larger $85 billion ?Silk City? plan. The development of the port will be executed in four phases over the next 16 years and, once completed, will have a planned capacity of 3.5million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs). www.uktradeinvest.gov.uk Page 5 of 11 Ports ? Kuwait Work on the first Phase began in 2007. The first Phase of the project has been divided into three different implementation stages. Stage one comprises construction of roads and bridges, soil processing, in addition to designing and maintenance of roads and railway. Stage two involves designing and establishing 16 anchorages. The last stage of phase one involves expansion of the port to a depth of 20 meters, to accommodate larger vessels in order to conform to international maritime accords. The three stage project is planned to be completed by 2014, transforming the island into a marine transport hub with a major sea port together with tourist resorts and nature reserve. Phase Two of the project is planned from 2016 to 2021, which will encompass expansion of facilities. Phase Three is planned to begin in 2023 and is expected to take 60 months for completion. The work will involve establishing additional 8 anchorages. In addition, 36 more anchorages will be constructed in Phase Four starting 2033, giving the port a total of 60 anchorages. There are also plans for the construction of residential complex on the island in addition to recreational and entertainment resorts. As part of the Ministry of Public Works overall plan for the support of the island project, the plan includes construction of a bridge to connect to Subiya city, which is in addition to Jahra-Subiya causeway as well as Jaber Al Ahmed Bridge. Current Development The first phase of the Bubiyan Island work began in 2007 and involves soil treatment and the construction of roads and bridges. The estimated cost of stage one of the first phase is around US $411 million (KD118 million). The Ministry of Public Works?s ?Mega Projects Agency? (responsible for large scale projects) signed a deal with the China led consortium - China Harbor Engineering Company which also includes local companies - Shaheen Al Ghanim Road and Bridges and Gulf Dredging Co. This stage of the project will focus on the initial construction and development of the port's infrastructure. However, work on the first stage of the project has moved at a painstakingly slow pace with less than 2% of the development completed in the past two years. The contract involves the construction of a 34-kilometre-long road and bridge to the port. www.uktradeinvest.gov.uk Page 6 of 11 Ports ? Kuwait The first phase of the overall project is meant to increase accessibility to the island's port and was scheduled to take around 42 months. The Bubiyan port project has witnessed some complications in the progress of the project as there was change in the overall programme management consultant, US-based Hill International who were replaced by Louis Berger. Stage two works will comprise three design-and-build packages covering dredging, quaywall construction and onshore roads and paving. This stage (2010-2014) of phase one includes the design and construction of the port itself. The design-and-build contract covers the construction of a container terminal, four berths and a 1,300-metre-long quay wall, in addition to port buildings and utilities, digging and soil improvement works and site levelling. Bidding for stage two was postponed to January this year and the winner of the bid is a partnership between South Korea?s Hyundai Engineering and Construction and local Kharafi Group. The winning bid is believed to be $1.14 billion (KD328 million). The scope of the work will include building of port with capacity of 16 anchorages. The work includes design-and-build that covers the construction of the container terminal, berths and quay wall, plus port buildings and utilities, digging and soil improvement works, and site leveling. Stage three of Phase One encompasses marine drilling for work such as extending the basin, widening the channel, and will include constructing building yards and providing other services needed. Originally, the port project was due to open by 2009 but delays over the build-operate-transfer scheme have pushed back completion dates. The first three-container berths, originally due to come online in 2009, has been postponed, with the following five berths similarly delayed. OPPORTUNITIES The Bubiyan port and the privatisation of the existing ports has the potential to provide a number of opportunities to the UK Maritime and Port Industry. The Bubiyan port is Kuwait?s most ambitious project, aimed at transforming Kuwait into a regional trading hub. Given the scale and complexity of the project, expertise will be required during the construction and operational stages. The operational management for the Bubiyan port is expected to be awarded to a private consortium. Currently there is discussion for setting up an Authority for the management of the port. Opportunities include the supply of equipment, safety and security, software and solutions, training and logistics services. The overall plan for the Bubiyan Island also involves setting up a free trade zone, recreational centres and tourist resorts thus creating a number of opportunities in other sectors. The Island project also includes the construction of desalination plant and power station. www.uktradeinvest.gov.uk Page 7 of 11 Ports ? Kuwait The Bubiyan port is not the only maritime project the country has to offer, the government is looking to expand and enhance the existing ports infrastructure. Kuwait's existing container terminals at Shuwaikh and Shuaiba have seen an upsurge in demand due to the rapid expansion of the local economy and their strategic location for Iraq-bound freight. The facilities at Kuwait?s ports have not been amongst the most developed in the region, and have suffered from bureaucracy and insufficient focus on infrastructure. However, Kuwait Ports Authority (KPA) has been working to boost the efficiency and capacity of the Shuwaikh and Shuaiba Ports. New gantry cranes and yard equipment, redevelopment of stacking areas, and installation of enhanced computer systems are in the pipeline, in addition to the deepening and widening of the approach channel to allow larger ships to use the terminals. Shuaiba Port will see further investment in its infrastructure. Kuwait invited international consultants to draw up a masterplan to redevelop and expand Shuaiba port, which will provide a number of opportunities. There are also plans for KPA to develop Doha port to handle more commercial cargo as the port is endowed with ample space for the expansion of warehousing and cargo handling facilities. There have also been unconfirmed reports that KPA may look to privatise its ports for which international operators will need to be invited. It is expected that special purpose vehicles will be set up to manage the three port facilities namely Shuwaikh, Shuaiba and Doha, which will be able to bring in international partners to manage and operate the terminals and invest in the ports' infrastructure. Kuwait Oil Co has plans for constructing a sea port which will be built 300 meters from the shore onto the sea and will stretch about 140 meters along the shoreline. KEY METHODS OF DOING BUSINESS Kuwait's Commercial Companies Law provides for the establishment of the following types of companies and ventures. ? Limited liability company ? Shareholding company ? Partnership ? Joint venture ? Commercial agency ? Branch All the above, with the exception of 'joint venture' possess a separate legal identity. www.uktradeinvest.gov.uk Page 8 of 11 Ports ? Kuwait UK companies wishing to do business in Kuwait are advised to operate through a local agent or j/v partner. This is especially required for Government contracts. A local agent or partner will be more finely attuned to the local business environment and therefore, best suited to deal with complicated issues that may arise.

Scarlett Johansson Teams Up With Pete Yorn In A New Music Video
It seems Scarlett Johansson is the go-to Hollywood starlet for music videos these days. First, there was the video she made with Bob Dylan for his single, "When The Deal Goes Down," in which she was featured in a "montage of sixties-style home movie clips." Then, she starred in Justin Timberlake's music video for his single, "What Goes Around Comes Around," in which she's a blond bombshell Timberlake spends the duration of the video seducing. Now, Scarlett joins Pete Yorn in a video for the single "Relator," from their collaborative album, "Break Up."In this newest video, ScarJo channels Brigitte Bardot, an idea Pete Yorn says came to him in a dream. "I was like, Scarlett Johansson could be the Brigitte Bardot type. So I reached out to her and she was into it, and we did it." The New York Daily News reports that "Break Up" is "inspired by French singer/songwriter Serge Gainsbourg, who worked with Bardot on a series of duets for her 1968 album, Bonnie and Clyde."

Your memory is the pivot of your being. It is the center where information is stored and recalled at will for future uses. The short-term memory enables you to retain a minimal amount of information for a short period. You can also call it a temporary workstation where facts and details are received before being processed in the permanent or long-term terminal. However, these maladies could occur when your brain cells stop growing and begin to dwindle and reduce until it results in memory problems. We are going to look at how to improve the short and long term memory in your brain.
How to improve short-term memory
There are many ways that you can improve your short term memory like practising brain training, learning memory skills, and taking of memory supplements.
• Practising brain training
As a senior person, if you want to improve your short-term memory always engage in puzzles, reading, writing, playing cards, computer games, and learning of musical instruments. These games have the potentials of inhibiting the attack of dementia and Alzheimer's diseases. There is also a web-based brain-training program called 'lumosity'. You can use it to test and checkmate your level of improvement, and it polishes your cognitive skills.
• Learning memory skills
Do you want to flex your brainpower and memory skills? Some of the techniques and skills you can use to improve your memory are mnemonic devices and chunking. You can use a mnemonic device to remember several unrelated facts. It is a visual and verbal cognitive enhancement device used as a memory improvement technique. The mnemonic device functions by evolving lively and clear mental imageries and emotions and giving a raw and skeletal data relevance. Another method of improving memory skills is by chunking that is a process whereby large numerical digits are split into bits or chunks for easy memorization.
• Taking of memory supplements
This approach is taken to combat nutritional deficiencies and the resultant effects like dementia and Alzheimer's disease. By taking these supplements, you are striking and maintaining a balance. Some of the best and most active memory vitamins are omega 3 fatty acids and vitamins E, C, A, and B.
Pramiracetam is a nootropic supplement prepared to enhance the cognitive functions of your brain like improved memory, reasoning and thinking capabilities.
How to improve long-term memory
This type of memory storage enhances the organising of various information and details, which could last for decades or years. There are two types of long-term memories like the declarative memory and procedural memory.
Long-term memory loss is caused by stress, diseases, and accidents that could impair the capacity of the brain to function effectively. Here are some of the ways you can improve your long-term memory:
• Sleep well and refresh your memory
During sleep, your brains are remodelled and rebuilt; therefore, you need to allow yourself some sleep to balance the neuronal networks in your brain for enhanced memory capacity.
• Engage your body in exercises
You will be physically fit and mentally alert when you engage in physical exercises. It helps to regulate your blood and the functions of your cardiovascular system.
• Eat balanced diets
Do you want to improve your long-term memory? Then, you need to always, eat balanced diets. This will help to balance the brain with all the nutrients and vitamins it needs to function well.
• Participate in brain exercises

Like every other game this week the sixth inning put the nail in the coffin. With Conner Bright on second after a 1 out double Grayson Griener sent one 4 rows deep in left field. That would be the games entire scoring.
Leading the way offensively for the Colonels was TJ Alas who went 1-2 with a single and a walk.
Defensively Tanner Perkins would pitch 6 innings giving up 7 hits and 2 runs and 1 strikeout. He would be relieved by Logan Hershenow who would strike out 2 and give up 1 hit in 2 innings of work.
South Carolina starting pitcher was lights out the entire game pitching 7.1 innings striking out 10 Colonels.
Tomorrow is the final game of the series with first pitch at 1:30 pm. EKU will send senior Myles Scott to the mound and South Carolina will send freshman Will Crowe to the mound.

India pulled of a sensation performance with the ball to reduce a cruising South Africa from 87/2 in the 9th over to 120/7 in 14.4 overs before wrapping up the hosts innings for 146/9, thus winning the only Twenty20 of the tour by a comfortable 21 runs.
South Africa's innings began on a shaky note. In just the second over, Indian seamer Ashish Nehra bowled Hashim Amla for 1 off 3 balls. South Africa stumbled to 8/1 in 2 overs.
But when Munaf Patel came onto bowl, he was welcomed by Morne van Wyk who flicked him over midwicket for a six and then followed up that shot with two back-to-back fours, one, through cover point and one back over the bowler's head. Van Wyk was on a roll. In the 4th over, he dispatched Nehra over midwicket for another six.
But the bowler came back well in the over, giving away just 2 more runs as the hosts moved onto 31/1 in 4 overs. Munaf too made a good comeback when he had Ingram caught by Praveen Kumar at short third man. But later that over, van Wyk hammered Munaf for a six and then a four in successive deliveries to take South Africa to 42/2 in 5 overs.
Then it was off-spinner R Ashwin's turn to come in for some tap. Van Wyk slapped him for a straight boundary and then pulled him to midwicket for a huge six. to take his side to over 50.
The Proteas had reached 59/2 in 6 overs after taking 17 runs off Ashwin's first over. Then A B de Villiers settled in by swatting Yuvraj Singh for two consecutive fours in the 7th over, while van Wyk got after Ashwin in the next over, smashing him for a six over deep midwicket to bring up his 50. He had made 54 in just 24 balls - the fastest 50 by a South African in T20s.
But he was not finished with business, when Praveen Kumar came back on to bowl, van Wyk cut him for a fierce boundary. The Proteas had raced to 87/2 in 9 overs, requiring just 82 from 66 balls. But in the 10th over, India fought back with a super run out to send back de Villiers for 14 off 10 balls and South Africa were 88/3, before Yuvraj trapped J P Duminy in front for a duck. The hosts were in a spot of bother at 89/4 in 9.4 overs.
In the very next over, Van Wyk flicked up Kumar, but the shot went straight into the hands of Nehra at midwicket. The batsman was on his way for 67 off 39 balls and South Africa were stuttering on 93/5 in 10.4 overs.
But captain Johann Botha was determined to keep the momentum going and struck Praveen for a boundary down the leg side. At the end of the over, South Africa still required 71 runs off 54 balls. Yuvraj kept up the pressure by bowling a 3-run 12th over as the hosts sneaked over 100.
In a dramatic following over, Miller swiped Yusuf Pathan for a six, but the bowler came back in the next ball to trap the batsman in front for 10. The Proteas had slumped to 108/6 in 12.5 overs. At the end of the over, South Africa needed 56 off 36 balls.
Two balls later, Botha hammered Yusuf for a six over long on. But just a couple of balls after that, the bowler had Alviro Petersen caught at short extra cover for 2. The Proteas were in dire straits at 120/7 in 14.4 overs, needing 49 runs from 32 balls. Ashwin then came on to bowl a tight 16th over, reducing the equation to 44 runs required off 24 balls. In the 18th over, Wayne Parnell kept South Africa's hopes alive by striking Nehra for a four.
But Ashwin saw the back of this upstart in the 19th over when he had him caught by Yusuf at square leg. Parnell was on his way for 14 off 16 balls and the Proteas were 141/8 in 18.3 overs.
In the very next over, Nehra dismissed the captain for 25 off 22 balls. Botha was on his way with the South African innings all but over at 144/9 in 19.2 overs. India ended up winning the match by 21 runs.
Batting first, India got off to a forceful start with opener Murali Vijay knocking two fours off South African express bowler Wayne Parnell in the first over and then smacking good-bye man Makhaya Ntini (who is playing his last international match) for another boundary. But Parnell had the last laugh when he had Vijay caught brilliantly by van Wyk at mid off, for 14 off 12 balls.
But the other opener Virat Kohli, was intent on keeping the momentum going and hit a back foot shot off Parnell to the fine leg boundary. Kohli then attacked Rusty Theron in the 4th over, when he flicked him to mid-wicket for another four.
Rohit Sharma got into the act soon after, edging Ntini for a four to the third man boundary, before Kohli joined the party to smash the same bowler for two more fours, before Sharma finished off the over with a powerful flick over midwicket for 6. Kohli then took a single off Theron to bring up India's 50, after which he and Sharma took 7 more runs off the over. A relatively quiet over worth 6 runs followed with India moving to 63/1 in 7 overs.
In the 8th over, Johan Botha came on to bowl, but he was blitzed through the covers by Kohli for four. But in the next over, he bowled the batsman for 28 off 19 balls with the scoreboard reading 67/2 in 7.3 overs.
In the 9th over, after Yuvraj and Sharma ran 5 singles, the former smashed a four to midwicket to take India to 78/2. The batsman took just 5 runs off the next over which was bowled by J P Duminy, reaching 86/2 in 10 overs.
Then Sharma got stuck into Botha, striking him for two fours, one though the on side and the other, through the off, before ending the over with a huge six. The last shot brought up India's 100. The visitors had moved to 102/2 in 12 overs.
However in the next over, Duminy ended Sharma's belligerence when he had him caught at the long-on boundary for 53 off 34 balls. Just a few balls later, Yuvraj was run out at the non-striker's end for 12 off 13 balls. India had stumbled to 110/4 in 13.1 overs.
Raina struck Ntini for a boundary in the first ball of the 15th over, but the bowler conceded just 4 more runs in the over as India moved to 122/4 in 15 overs. Raina then went after Theron, smashing him for a four to midwicket and then for a six in the same region.
But Theron came back strongly in the over when he bowled Yusuf for 6 off 8 balls. The danger man was gone and India were floundering on 136/5 in 16 overs, with captain M S Dhoni the new man at the crease. Parnell bowled a frugal 17th over, conceding just 6 runs.
Raina gave Ntini an inauspicious last over in international cricket, when he hit him for a six over midwicket and scurried three singles and a double with Dhoni. India has consequently moved past 150. In the last over, Raina hit a six off Theron but was out in the last ball when he was caught at mid-off. India had posted a competitive 168/6 in their 20 overs with Rusty Theon picking up 2/39 off his four overs.

Everyday we are faced with many different challenges. Polictical, Professional, Psychological, Social, Emotional, Sexual, Mental, Medical, Spiritual and so on...
Today, the question is beyond all your problems, situations good,bad or indifferent whats most important is how you see yourself. The world has set a high standard what you "should" see in the mirror....But the WORLD is NOT your mirror.
You are who you are. I used to suffer from low self-esteem, low self-worth and then one day someone placed a mirror in my face and asked me the question I am asking you. "What do you see in the mirror?" From that moment forward I no longer succumbed to low self anything. Why? because of my A to Z list of every wonderful thing I see when I look in my mirror. I learned my self-worth one moment at a time...
So if you are suffering from low self anything, I appeal to your most inner self to make your own list which describes you and start being those things daily.
Here is an example of my A to Z list:
A: Acstetic, Appealing,Alluring
B: Bold, Beautiful,
C: Concise,Charming
Start your list and share your thoughts. "What do you see in the mirror?"

Just a week ago the Jim Henson Company decided to part ways with fast food chain Chick-fil-A because of the controversial remarks from their President. Apparently the President of Chick-fil-A staunchly opposes same-sex marriage and he isn't afraid to let the world know. Speaking to the Baptist Press he said that he was 'guilty as charged' when it came to his support for the Biblical definition of marriage as being between a man and a woman.
Read More At: Jim Henson Ends Relationship With Chick-Fil-A!
Chick-fil-A's anti-gay marriage stance did help it in gaining support from conservative lawmakers and people like Sarah Palin and Rick Santorum, but the news was not viewed as something encouraging by long time customers of the food chain.
The recent plummeting of Chick-fil-A's brand approval rating is a comprehensible manifestation of this. Just before Cathy's interview was published, Chick-fil-A's Index Score was 65. After four days it had slumped to 47, while last week, the chain had a score of 39.
According to Aaron McQuade, Director of News and Field Media at GLAAD the results are "reflective of an America that values and respects its LGBT neighbors and rejects rhetoric like Dan Cathy's that seeks to demean and dehumanize the LGBT community."
Brand Rating Falls But Sales Boost
The slumping brand rating of Chick-fil-A did not turn out to be much of a concern for the fast food chain as its supporters are happy enough to enjoy its meals irrespective of the stance and criticism the company has faced over its same sex marriage stance.
On August 1 the Mike Huckabee–sponsored "National Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day." The Baptist minister and former governor of Arkansas called on supporters of traditional marriage to rally in support of the restaurant. And what an amazing turnout has it been for Chick-fil-A. Half a million people (which, by the way, did not include people like Sarah Palin and Rick Santorum!) flocked to their local chicken chains.
On the other hand, opponent of Cathy's stance over same sex marriage have planned "Kiss Mor Chiks" for this Friday. The event intends to call upon all people of the same sex to show up and kiss each other at Chick-fil-A locations.
Chick-fil-A Employees Speak At Last
While Chick-fil-A and its supporters happily enjoyed their meals on the 'Appreciation Day' there were others who not only refrained from participating in any of the activities, but also dubbed the day as hater appreciation day.
Among them was Andrew, 24-year-old gay employee of Chick fil-A employee in Northern Alabama. "I call it hater appreciation day," said Andrew. "It's very, very depressing." Not just Andrew but many other employees working at Chick-fil-A are finding it difficult to pursue their work in the increasingly homophobic environment.
Despite the fact that many of them love their work, fact remains that Chick-fil-A restaurants are operated by independent owners, and employee experience can vary depending on the person running the particular chain.

Indy Racing League News and Notes -- 12/10/04
Today's IRL headlines
1. Fernandez's Book Debuts In Mexico
2. Castroneves Helps Raise Money For Charity
1. Fernandez's Book Debuts In Mexico: IRL IndyCar® Series owner/driver Adrian Fernandez debuted his first book, "Adrian Fernandez, Imagenes para la Historia," on Dec. 10 in his hometown of Mexico City. The 200-page, full color, coffee-table hardback chronicles Fernandez's life in photos, and features a foreword by Jo Ramirez, the former team manager of the West McLaren Mercedes Formula One team.
"I have had the idea of a book in the back of my mind for a while now," Fernandez said. "When my sister, Mary, approached me about heading the project, I thought the time was right coming off our success in the IRL this year."
With detailed Spanish-language captions by Jose Antonio Cortes, the book covers Fernandez's childhood days and his early racing successes in Mexico and Europe. The book also documents Fernandez's debut on the American racing scene in Indy Lights and follows his 11 years in CART competition, culminating with his recent accomplishments in the IndyCar® Series.
"When I look back over my career to date, I have so many memories -- of people that have helped me to get to this level, of friends that I have made, of the fans that have supported me, of successes shared and the many challenges along the way," Fernandez said. "I have been very proud to represent my country around the globe. Hopefully, this book will give everyone a glimpse into the world that I have worked hard to be a part of these past 30 years."
Published by Mexico Desconocido S.A. de C.V., "Adrian Fernandez, Imagenes para la Historia" will be distributed by Sanborn's, a department store with 58 locations in Mexico City and an additional 71 stores throughout Mexico, beginning Dec. 10. The book will also be available at the SIAM 2004 Auto Show in Mexico City (El Salon Internacional del Automovil Mexico 2004) Dec. 11-19.
"Adrian has been an inspiration to so many people," Cortes said. "I feel very honored to have partnered with him on this project. Many people have followed his career through the media over the years, and this book really gives you an inside look at his life."
2. Castroneves Helps Raise Money For Charity: Marlboro Team Penske driver Helio Castroneves participated in the Chris Evert/Bank of America Pro-Celebrity Tennis Classic on Dec. 4-5 in Delray Beach, Fla.
The event brought together some of the biggest names in sports and entertainment including former President George H.W. Bush, Matthew Perry, Chevy Chase, Lindsay Davenport and rocker Gavin Rossdale and raised $1.2 million for South Florida charities.
The weekend's matches paired a celebrity participant with a professional tennis player. Castroneves, a two-time Indianapolis 500 winner, teamed with tennis star Lisa Raymond to defeat the team of Chris Evert and Chevy Chase, 6-4.
In addition to the action on the court, the event featured a concert by Sheena Easton on Dec. 4 at a black-tie gala at the Boca Raton Resort & Club. A silent and live auction raised more than $300,000.
Among items up for bid were two pace car rides with Castroneves and four passes to the Toyota Motorsports suite at the 2005 Indy Racing League IndyCar® Series season-opening Toyota Indy 300 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The items sold for a combined $25,000.
The IRL IndyCar Series opens its 10th season of competition with the Toyota Indy 300 at 2 p.m. (EST) on March 6, 2005 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The race will be broadcast live on ESPN and the IMS Radio Network. The 2005 Menards Infiniti Pro Series season also opens on March 6 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The race will be broadcast by ESPN2 at 4 p.m. (EST) on March 17.

Mixed opinion
We originally intended to stay there one night as we were to collect out daughter and her friend from Reading festival the next day.
But they were frozen cold, starving and needed a shower and a warm bed so we asked if we could squeeze them in our room for the night. They were good in accommodating us but did charge us an extra £40 for the privilege. We had the Sunday roast which was nice but the food is very expensive I feel. At 1.30am my husband got stuck in the bathroom as the lock jammed so for 10 minutes we tried to force it, we then had to resort to trying to barge the door down when luckily this seemed to loosen the lock and he could get out. I mentioned this to the hotel so that no other poor soul would have this happen to them, but although they apologised, no compensation was offered for our ordeal. The rooms are not part of the Inn, you go round the back into the converted stables, which is lovely until you have to get wet going to breakfast in the morning when it rains. My suggestions for improvement are, better quality toilet paper, a proper alternative breakfast for vegetarians, and soya milk. Free wifi would be good, you also have to pay to watch movies in your room.

Do we have our teens trying to do too many things? Are they over involved? Getting enough sleep, good quality sleep, is vital for everyone from babies to seniors.
Sleepy Teens at Risk for Smoking, Drinking
(Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Teenagers who don't sleep well may be more likely to take up bad habits like smoking and drinking.
In a new study out of China, researchers report adolescents who reported getting less than eight hours of sleep per night, frequently experiencing nightmares, and having trouble falling asleep were at higher risk of drinking alcohol.
A higher risk of smoking was associated with those behaviors, as was having a bedtime after midnight, difficulty staying asleep, and the use of hypnotic drugs.
Researchers studied about 1,300 children from five high schools in China. The average age of study participants was 14.
Study author Xianchen Liu, M.D., Ph.D., from the University of Pittsburgh, reports more research is needed to confirm these findings, but the results "suggest a potential role of sleep intervention -- that is, education in sleep hygiene and the treatment of sleep disturbances -- in the prevention of adolescent substance use."
Previous studies have suggested sleep affects a wide range of physical, mental and emotional aspects of health, with poor sleep linked to everything from cardiovascular disease and diabetes to depression and obesity.
