|Sinus Infection
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
- Streptococcus pneumoniae
- Haemophilus influenzae
- Moraxella catarrhalis
Risk Factors
- Recent viral infection
- Smoking or exposure to second-hand smoke
- Other sources of indoor or outdoor air pollution
- Allergies , particularly hay fever and asthma
Abnormalities of the facial bones, sinuses, or nasal passages, such as:
- Deviated septum
- Nasal polyps
- Cleft palate
- Large adenoids
Certain chronic illnesses, including:
- Cystic fibrosis
- Kartagener's syndrome (a chronic lung disease) and immotile cilia syndrome
- Wegener's granulomatosis (rare disease that causes blood vessel walls to become inflamed)
- Asthma
- Sarcoidosis
- HIV infection and other disorders of the immune system
- Diabetes
- Head injury or a medical condition requiring a tube to be inserted into the nose
- Cocaine and other drugs inhaled through the nose
- Facial pain or pressure that increases when you bend over or press on the area
- Headache
- Nasal congestion not responding well to either decongestants or antihistamines
- Runny nose or postnasal drip
- Thick, yellow, or green mucus
- Bad breath
- Cough , often worse at night
- Ear pain, pressure, or fullness
- Fever
- Dental pain
- Facial congestion or fullness
- Fatigue
- Holding a flashlight up to the sinuses to see if they are illuminated
- CT scan or Xray of the sinuses to look for fluid in the sinus
- Removing sinus fluid through a needle for testing (rare)
- Endoscopic examination of the sinuses—threading a tiny, lighted tube into the nasal cavities to view the sinus opening
- History of 10 or more days of colored mucus
- Tenderness over the sinuses
- Fever
- Visible infected mucus in the nose
- Difficulty smelling
Home Care
- Hydrating—Drinking lots of fluids may keep your nasal secretions thin. This will avoid plugging up your nasal passages and sinuses. Salt water nose sprays or irrigation may also loosen nasal secretions.
- Using steam treatments—Keep a humidifier running in your bedroom. Fill a bowl with steaming water every couple of hours. Make a steam tent with a towel over your head. This will let you breathe in the steam.
- Nasal and sinus washes
- Decongestants—Use either decongestant pills or nasal sprays to shrink nasal passages. Do not use nasal sprays for longer than 3-4 days in a row.
- Intranasal corticosteroids—These are inhaled directly into your nose through a nasal spray. Corticosteroids may help relieve congestion by decreasing swelling in the lining of the nose in people with allergies.
- Antihistamines—Allergy medicines called antihistamines may help sinusitis symptoms if they are caused by allergies. However, they may also dry out the nose.
- Guaifenesin—This medicine can help you cough up secretions, but hydration is more effective.
- Antibiotics—Your doctor may decide to give you antibiotics if the infection seems to be caused by bacteria. Although, studies have shown that antibiotics are not effective in treating acute sinusitis.
Over-the-counter medicine—You can use acetaminophen , ibuprofen , or aspirin to treat sinus pain.
- Note: Aspirin is not recommended for children or teens with a current or recent viral infection. This is because of the risk of Reye's syndrome . Ask your doctor which other medicines are safe for your child.
- Repair of a deviated septum
- Removal of nasal polyps
- Functional endoscopic sinus surgery—a lighted scope is used to enlarge the sinuses to improve drainage
- Balloon sinuplasty—a tube with a balloon attached is inserted into the sinuses (the balloon is inflated to open the sinus passages)
- Have allergy testing to find out what things you are allergic to and to learn how to treat your allergies.
- Avoid substances you know you are allergic to.
- If you have allergies, consider using cortisone nasal spray or antihistamines to decrease inflammation.
- If you get a cold, drink lots of fluids and use a decongestant (either pills or nasal spray).
- Sinus washes.
- Blow your nose gently, while pressing one nostril closed.
- Try not to fly in an airplane when you are congested. If you must fly, use a nasal spray decongestant to decrease inflammation prior to takeoff and landing.
- Use a humidifier when you have a cold, allergic symptoms, or sinusitis.
- Use High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters for your furnace and vacuum cleaner to remove allergens from the air.
- Avoid cigarette smoke.

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

By Miki Shima, o.m.d.
Over the 23 years I've been in practice, I've helped hundreds of couples become pregnant without high-tech or pharmaceutical interventions. But many of my patients also add Chinese medicine to conventional fertility treatments to increase their effectiveness and alleviate some of the side effects.
Looking eastward has another benefit, too. In the rush to develop increasingly sophisticated ways to treat infertility, doctors often skip over a critical element: bolstering the patient's overall health, which can suffer in the course of treatment. Where Western medicine concentrates solely on the reproductive organs, Chinese medicine works to strengthen and balance all systems of the body, using a combination of acupuncture, herbs, and nutritional supplements.
Here are some of the fertility-related questions I hear most often.
Q: I've been trying to conceive for one year, so far unsuccessfully, and I'd like to avoid the hassle and expense of conventional fertility treatments. How effective is Chinese medicine alone in helping women get pregnant?
A: That depends on several factors. Your first step should be to see your gynecologist for a few exams. She can check for any physical obstructions that might be preventing pregnancy, such as a blockage in your fallopian tubes, and assess your levels of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), which affects ovulation, to make sure you haven't entered early menopause. If your FSH levels are above 10, your chances of getting pregnant without any kind of conventional fertility treatment are very small; if you have high FSH levels and an obstruction, your chances are essentially zero.
However, if your FSH levels are 9 or below, and there are no physical obstructions, traditional Chinese medicine alone can substantially improve your odds. For instance, if you are between the ages of 35 and 40 and your FSH is around 9, you have about a 4 percent chance of getting pregnant without any treatment whatsoever; with acupuncture and Chinese herbs, I've found that the probability rises to about 25 percent.
If you do need to see an infertility doctor, Chinese medicine can still help. Many of my patients are women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) or egg donation, and I've found that adding acupuncture, supplements, and herbs to the mix can raise their success rate by about 15 to 25 percent. One recent study from Germany reported that women who received a regular course of acupuncture immediately before and after in vitro fertilization were 58 percent more likely to get pregnant than those who underwent IVF alone.
Q: Will the fertility herbs my acupuncturist gave me interfere with the fertility drugs I'm taking?
A: No, with one exception. The drug Lupron is prescribed to shut down hormone production (as part of IVF treatment), so herbs that promote hormonal activity can interfere with it. I tell my patients to stop all herbal treatments while taking this drug.
Q: Are there a...

George Timothy Clooney (born May 6, 1961) is an American actor, film director, producer, and screenwriter. For his work as an actor, he has received three Golden Globe Awards and an Academy Award. Clooney is also noted for his political activism, and has served as one of the United Nations Messengers of Peace since January 31, 2008.
Though he made his acting debut on television in 1978, Clooney gained fame and recognition by portraying Dr. Douglas "Doug" Ross on the long-running medical drama ER from 1994 to 1999. While working on ER, he started attracting a variety of leading roles in films including Batman & Robin (1997) and Out of Sight (1998), in which he first teamed with long-term collaborator Steven Soderbergh. 1999 saw the release of Three Kings, a well-received war satire set during the Gulf War featuring Clooney in another lead role. In 2001, Clooney's fame widened with the release of his biggest commercial success, Ocean's Eleven, the first of a profitable film trilogy, a remake of the film from 1960 with the members of The Rat Pack with Frank Sinatra as Danny Ocean. He made his directorial debut a year later with the 2002 biographical thriller Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, and has since directed Good Night, and Good Luck (2005), Leatherheads (2008), and The Ides of March (2011). He won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his work in the Middle East thriller Syriana (2005) and subsequently fetched Best Actor nominations for such films as Michael Clayton (2007), Up in the Air (2009) and The Descendants (2011).

By Doug Palmer
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Commerce Department on Friday said it had reached a draft agreement with the Russian government to revise a 13-year-old deal governing imports of hot-rolled steel.
The pact raises the minimum price at which Russian hot-rolled steel can be sold in the United States.
The department launched the negotiations with Russia after U.S. steel company Nucor Corp.
Nucor and other interested parties will have a chance to comment on the deal before it is final. Those remarks are due to the Commerce Department by November 23.
After a preliminary review of the 1999 "suspension agreement," the Commerce Department agreed earlier this year that prices for Russian hot-rolled steel were well below the U.S. market.
The reference price for Russian hot-rolled coil imports using the suspension agreement mechanism of $408.32 per tonne for the second quarter compared to the going rate in the domestic market of $763 per tonne in March, the department said in a June 1 notice announcing the preliminary results.
Under the revised formula in the draft deal, the reference price in the fourth quarter would be $601.75 per tonne for one group of Russian hot-rolled steel, $661.92 for a second group and $770.24 for a third.
The draft deal was announced on the same day the House of Representatives approved legislation to establish "permanent normal trade relations" with Russia - a move required by Russia's entry into the World Trade Organization in August.
But Moscow was angered by a provision that threatens sanctions on Russian human rights violators. The Senate must also approve the trade and human rights bill before President Barack Obama can sign it into law.
The 1999 pact is called a suspension agreement because it halted the imposition of U.S. anti-dumping duties on Russian hot-rolled steel.
If the two sides fail to reach a new deal, those anti-dumping duties, which one private trade attorney estimated at 60 to 165 percent, may go into force in December.
The case has pitted Nucor and other U.S. producers against Russian steel companies including JSC Severstal, Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel and Novolipetsk Steel.
A description of the draft deal is posted on the Commerce Department's website: http://ia.ita.doc.gov/download/russia-hot-rolled/russia-hot-rolled-susp-draft-rev-20121114.pdf

You've probably heard it before, maybe from your mom or your grandmother, "If you pick up the baby when they're crying you're going to spoil them." The reality is you can't spoil a newborn. The only way your baby can communicate with you is through crying. They cry when they're hungry, when they're tired, when they need a diaper change, when they're uncomfortable, when they're bored and when they want to be near you. Your heartbeat, your scent and your voice are all soothing to your baby.
If you think I'll just let them cry because they need to learn to self soothe, that's not the best thing for your baby. Infants can't self soothe. If your baby stops crying after a while they've just given up hope that you'll come find out what's wrong.
Crying releases stress hormones that will stick with your baby throughout his or her life. If you make it a habit to respond quickly to your baby's cries they will be calmer sooner and they'll be more confident and less stressed as they grow older. Having that comfort from parents can make a world of difference in your baby.
As a mother of newborn twins I know first hand how stressful a crying baby can be. You change their diaper and they still cry, you move them to the swing and they still cry, you put them on the playmat and they still cry, you give them a pacifier and they still cry, you feed them and they still cry, you rock them and they still cry, you bounce them and they still cry, you shush them and they still cry. Take a deep breath and remember they love you and you're doing the best you can. Call someone who said, "If you need anything give me a call" when you had the baby. It's okay to take a break. Let someone else take over trying to soothe the baby and you go for a drive, sit down with a calming cup of tea, take a shower or take a nap. For your sake and the baby's you need to take care of yourself too and stress is bad for you too.
Just know that holding your baby when they cry is not going to spoil them no matter what your mother says.

Spanking Kids May Lead To Aggression
(New York, NY) -- A new study reveals that five-year-olds who are spanked are more likely to be aggressive later in elementary school. Researchers at New York's Columbia University found that 52-percent of mothers and 33-percent of fathers spanked their kids at the age of five. But experts say there's no evidence that spanking is good for kids. The Columbia study was recently published in the journal "Pediatrics."

By Michael Arbeiter, Hollywood Staff
We may be a decade and change out of the golden era of Robin Williams, but the memories remain crystal clear. There was a time that the fast-talking, follicle-ridden funnyman was Hollywood's reigning champion in the realm of broad, wacky comedy.
Yes, this is the Robin Williams many of us remember best: the constantly quipping goofball who'd bounce around a room in a dress in Mrs. Doubtfire, a robot suit in Bicentennial Man, or in animated form as an all-powerful genie in Aladdin, managing celebrity impressions and absurd wordplay all the while. But for some, Williams meant something softer - a father striving desperately to recapture his youth and connect with his son in Hook. A therapist aching to break through the shield of a detached young genius in Good Will Hunting. The man has shown off his dramatic chops too, proving that we have a pretty substantial arsenal from which to choose when considering our favorite Robin Williams movies.
And quite the variety did amount when our staff members chimed with their picks. Williams' appearance in the forthcoming dramedy The Big Wedding had all us all thinking back upon our favorite of his historic turns...
Abbey Stone: Mrs. DoubtfireMatt Patches: AladdinAly Semigran: Good Will HuntingAnna Brand and Kate Ward: JumanjiKelsea Stahler: HookLindsey DiMattina: The BirdcageMichael Arbeiter: PopeyeBrian Moylan: Ferngully: The Last RainforestChristian Blauvelt: Hamlet

We have a pair of these for our Toddler, and he's a squirmy monkey. It's great that they go on so quickly, and we have had nothing but success with them, we plan to buy another pair in the next size up.
I loved these shoes for my 2 year old. They fit really nice but 2 weeks after buying them, they started falling off all the time. When I checked to see why, I noticed the Velcro had already worn right out. Not worth buying an expensive pair of shoes if they're not gonna hold up!

1. "We are all spies" Yes, if you believe Hollywood! The Cold War is over, there aren't KGB agents around every dark corner.
2. "Russia is dangerous" Not any more dangerous than any other large country. Every city has it's bad areas and the same safety rules that apply everywhere else apply in Russia.
3. "We drink vodka all day" Russians really do love their alcohol and have a high tolerance but that doesn't mean everyone is an alcoholic. Alcohol is present at most occasions but as a matter of custom and tradition.
4. "Russians are all miserable and gloomy" As you walk around the streets of Russia you will notice that hardly anyone ever smiles. Showing emotion is considered strange or impolite. Smiles, laughter and warmth are reserved for the privacy of Russian homes with friends and family.
5. "We hate Americans" Actually Russians love American trends, music and culture. When they finally make it over like Starbucks did in 2007 – they are insanely popular!
6. "It's always cold and gray in Russia" Yes - Russia's winters are brutal but so are the Midwest's! Russia has a mild spring and fall and in some places extremely warm summers. The sun does shine on that side of the world too.
7. "There are dancing bears and babushkas everywhere" Bears –
yes but in the same wilderness areas as the rest of the world. Sadly,
Babushkas don't play as big of a role as they used to in Russian culture
– this is a truth that is fading out.
The time I spent in Russia was an eye opening and fascinating experience. I decided to write this guest blog because every time the topic of Russia comes up in conversations….people can't seem to get enough about what it was really like to visit! So don't be afraid to add Russia to your own bucket list while you are watching the Games at home.

Whose Dog Is It?
A conflict that's hard to resolve

The owner did not provide enough information to identify the dog when lost, e.g., tags, microchip. It belongs to the finder since she now considers the dog to be her own (if she did due diligence in finding the owner as this article states).

If the finder contacted her local animal control office and nobody claimed the dog, typically the dog would have been made available for adoption within 5-7 days. So even if the finder had not kept the dog but dropped it at the county shelter, the dog would have either found a home or been euthanized. From just the details provided, I'd say the finder has the true ownership here.
Being the owner of a dog who was found and kept in a similar manner, I did my homework and found that after 14days the dog is considered abandoned and is free to be adopted(in my area at least). And considering its been a Year and that the man didn't have collar, tags or chip to prove that the dog was his in the first place.... the dog is hers. Plain and simple
Neither "own" the dog. But Ms. Biggs is now the dog's guardian and Bear should remain with her. Hopefully Hansom-Fleming can find happiness in knowing that the dog is well taken care of.

The finder now OWNS the dog. She did everything to find his previous owner. There should be a statute law--after 30 days of finding a dog and if no one comes to look for the dog, the new owner should have the right to own/keep the dog. Of course, they have to show proof that they did everything to find the prev. owner.

I completely agree with Anonymous, above, that the previous owner did not provide proper identification, nor did they have the dog neutered, all of these things a responsible dog owner would do. No one can say that the both the previous guardian and the current one did not love the dog, but the current guardian showed more signs of being a responsible dog owner, and she tried to find the previous owner through all possible channels. I'd say the dog is hers. Alternatively, let the dog choose....dogs will remember a person if they had a close bond....I'm betting that the dog is more bound to the person he's with now, who has clearly made him part of her life, not left him in a yard to jump over the fence and escape.

Wow. I cannot even imagine the emotional pain this is causing both parties. However I'm inclined to believe the girl.

As much as it hurts my heart to think of losing my beloved dog, finding her again, and not having the option to get her back, I believe the dog belongs to Jordan Biggs unless Sam Hanson-Fleming can provide genetic samples proving the dog is his. Even if he could, though, I think the dog belongs to Biggs. She has invested quite a bit of money into a rescued dog and a service dog is not easily replaced. Sam Hanson-Fleming needs to look for a new dog, preferably through the pound or humane society, and seriously consider a breed that is less likely to jump his fence and disappear.

It's the original owner's dog. It's really not even close legally.
What makes this case compelling is the emotional investment that Jordan Biggs put into the dog, but that in no way changes ownership of the dog.
"Due diligence" in trying to find the previous owner does not change ownership any more than such efforts would make a child yours should you find them on the street or an unattended car yours should you put it to good use.
That Jordan had the dog operated on is actually troubling. If we side with Jordan legally, then we open the door to all sorts of well meaning but illegal activity. You think your neighbor's dog is too fat? "Rescue it" and rehab it, and then claim it's yours.
Think that the guy down the street is stupid and ignorant for having a dog that still has its balls, well open that gate and you can take him to the vet and have him desexed.
Without a specific law that grants adverse possession rights to the "rescuer" ... and this would most likely require licensing like a real shelter ... then Jordan is a good samaratan, but she doesn't own the dog.
The finder owns the dog. That is because in most states, there is a 7 day stray hold. If the dog had not been claimed within that time period, the shelter could legally place him for adoption.
He has NO WAY of proving that he ever owned the dog, and did not claim him when the finder was advertising the dog that she had found.

Where will the dog be happier? It sounds like he has a 'job' with Jordan, and is doing agility with her, which is great. I wonder did Bear react to the old owner, the old owner's kids? I would side with Jordan on this, since she is giving Bear a good life. This story really shows the importance of microchipping!

Geez!! I can't imagine this EVER happening to me! I myself have a rescue from a shelter. A wonderful dog I have had for 5 years now! If his previous owner came forward now I would be absolutely devastated! He is MY dog!! But.. now imagine ... if I were to somehow lose this precious animal and someone else took him in. Someone else fell in love with him and after all efforts to find me failed they decided to keep him only for me to find him a year later... how would they feel? How would I feel? This is such a hard hard case. I have never lost an animal I have never found but I would NEVER stop thinking about them, I would never stop missing them and I would certainly never stop loving them. It would be like losing a child. This dog is a member of my family. I will be devastated when his life comes to an end but I would be equally devastated if I lost him only to find him only to be told I can't have him back. I just don't know what the right thing is here.. I just have no idea and I can't imagine how either family would cope!

This isn't even about a law! Who cares what the "law" says. Why should there even be a "law" where a family member is concerned. This is about someone's heart. I understand the bond Jordan has BUT if they can determine that this dog belongs to Sam.. it is his dog!

She owns the dog. The former owner (if he really is) should just be glad he knows what happened to the dog and that he is happy and well taken care of. She has all the proof....he has none. I wonder what would happen if he had "found" the dog after it was adopted out through a shelter?

No she STOLE the dog. If she really looked on craigslist why didnt she see the actual owner's post.

I am a provider of a forever home for 3 rescue dogs so far. They are chipped and licensed and their health coverage is better than mine. This whole thing is right out of Lassie who while lost takes up with a crippled girl. The Lassie was placed between the two children and while being called from both sides went to one of them establishing ownership. Alas this test lacks a foundation in the law. I can clearly see why the young lady who found Chase/Bear feels she has a legal claim however there is no evidence in the articles about this dispute that she adopted the dog in question. She "assumed the dog was hers after some months of trying to find the owner. It is laudable that she did attempt to find the dog's owner. I would have done the same. According to the article, the original owner spent a year trying to find the dog, and did license the dog. There should be a public record of that. Since a dog is considered property without an adoption on the part of the finder the title to the dog did not pass. The real issue here is if indeed the dog in question is in fact the same dog. The judgment of the people at animal control is that the dog is in fact Chase. The finder clearly invested in the dog but if it is not hers and she has not clearly established a title she is not the owner. He investment in training and service dog certification is not recoverable from the original owner because she lacks title. I suppose that it is possible there may be some DNA evidence(hair) at the original owners residence. If the finder and the original owner are willing to take the risk DNA would clearly identify the dog one way or the other. I expect the cost of such a test would fall to the finder who could pay for it. If she is going to fight this in the courts testing is significantly cheaper. Should such testing prove that it is not Chase then a lawsuit is not necessary and the claim of the original owner is without merit. I doubt the original owner can afford the cost of testing since he could not afford the chip in the first place. This is the kind of thing requires the wisdom of Solomon for a fair outcome. Unfortunately the evidence to date strongly supports the original owner. It's not fair but there it is.

I find Jordan's actions since the original owner found his dog to be troubling. She alleged that she posted signs , contacted the shelter, posted on Craigslist, that she did everything that she was supposed to do to find Chase's owner. However when she and her attorney were contacted by Mike Oswald from MCAS to present evidence that she had followed her obligations, the request was ignored. The situation could have been resolved right then. But Insead her attorney filed suit against the original owner alleging neglect for allowing him to escape. Sadly, that is a standard I cannot meet nor can a good number of dog owners. My totally uneducated guess is that she is hoping to intimidate him into letting her keep Chase since I doubt he has the resources to hire an attorney.

"Bear" would have been either killed in a shelter or adopted by another family at the shelter if not cared for by the finder. All attempts were made to find the owner and one was not found. The only other choices for the finder would have been to take "Bear" to a shelter or keep "Bear" to save "Bear's" life. At that point, the finder takes responsibility to save the dog and becomes liable for the dog (in my opinion). Then you have to consider the money the finder invested to care for the animal. If the owner comes later and proof is found to be there dog. Money that was spent on the care of the lost animal should be reimbursed before the new owner is forced to give up an animal that is now part of their family. We need a law that will allow a finder of an animal to have the option of legally filing for ownership after a 6 month period. If abuse is found caused by the new owner and the prior owner is found. Then the rights of ownership should be returned to the prior owner, but only for the safety of the animal and in cases where negligence and abuse are apparent. I've thought of this before when our dog was lost. He returned in three days, but I could remember thinking he was lost for good and prayed he would be in the loving hands of a new owner. I pray "Bear" will be able to stay with his new owner and that the prior family could visit "Bear" in his new home. I know it's hard, but sometimes good things take sacrifice and "Bear" was lost a whole year. I couldn't even begin to imagine what would have happened if a new loving owner wasn't their to save him.

In recent years there has been growing interest in examining the effectiveness of the charities and other nonprofits that play so important a part in American life.
Charting Impact,
a new project developed by
BBB Wise Giving Alliance
GuideStar USA
, and
Independent Sector
, is a response to this interest. It provides a framework of five questions that organizations of all types, sizes and missions can use to describe what they want to achieve and what they have already accomplished. A key aspect of the project is that the reports produced by participating organizations will be available online for public view through
. Charting Impact was developed, tested, and refined with input from nearly 200 nonprofit and philanthropic leaders across the country.
To the public, Charting Impact reports offer concise, detailed information, in a consistent format, about what individual nonprofits are aiming to accomplish. Such reports can counteract the emphasis on ratios or other narrow criteria too often used as sole measures of charity value. They can enhance the information available to the public in the Alliance's evaluative reports.
For charities, working through the Charting Impact framework can have additional benefits. It encourages organizations to think strategically about how they will achieve their goals. It can position them to work with and learn from other organizations. For national charities that file requested information with the BBB Wise Giving Alliance, there is a specific benefit: completing Charting Impact can help a charity meet Standard 7 of the Alliance's Standards for Charity Accountability, which calls for a charity to submit to its governing body, for its approval, a written report that outlines its performance and effectiveness.

G-Star – Beat the Fake
One of the problems with becoming a household name in designer clothing is that people start to copy your work. They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but when you receive fake clothes instead of the originals you were expecting, there won't be a fell-good factor. In fact, depending on where you buy your fake G-Star clothing, you may not even be able to get your money back once you've discovered the problem. That's why you should always shop with a reputable retailer.Spotting G-Star Fakes
G-Star jeans are a particular favourite of the fake clothes brigade. Designer fakes are big business and it's surprising how often people can be duped about the authenticity of a branded piece of clothing. G-Star designs are susceptible because they are denim and unless you can tell between the various qualities of denim, you may have a hard time spotting that you've been done. There are, however, some simple steps you can take to avoid getting scammed and to make sure you're buying original G-Star products:
- Buy from an honest seller – whether you're buying on the high street or online, always make sure you're buying from a retailer you can trust. Look for website that are established, reliable stores, with all the contact information you need so that you can get in touch if things go wrong. On the high street, only use specialist G-Star stores or concessions within established shops.
- Check for detail – with designer clothing like G-Star, it's all about the detail and that's what usually makes a fake garment stand out. G-Star jeans use a particular button design which is often not properly replicated by fakes, and the studs on fake G-Star jeans are often different to the originals. When it comes to denim, the stitching is nearly always a giveaway. Great brands like G-Star have perfectly aligned and matching stitching. Fakes will have poor stitching – sometimes even in different colours, so it's easy to spot the difference.
- Buy from a "real" retailer – lots of people look on auction sites for G-Star jeans hoping to get a bargain – but it's no bargain if you end up with a pair of fake jeans and no refund. Instead, look for sales, discounts and special deals from online retailers and you'll be surprised at the money you can save.
We sell genuine designer labels because we believe in giving you the best possible choice of designer clothing for the best possible price. If you're looking for G-Star jeans or for clothing and footwear from your other favourite designers, we can help. Our online ordering system is secure, so you can shop with confidence today.

Interns. They can be found almost everywhere. Eager, ambitious, job-hungry creatures who are desperate to find their way in the world (and hoping to finally get paid while doing it). It's a feeling we're all too familiar with, especially in this economy. Grey's Anatomy managed to bring that concept to the forefront of this week's episode, titled "Love Turns You Upside Down," and shifted much of the plot's focus on the constantly-seen-but-rarely-talked-about baby docs. Ladies and gentlemen let's talk about the new Seattle Grace Interns.
The show opened up with our favorite veteran interns (now known as the Attendings), looking on at the new interns with a sort of fascination. "I can't believe we used to be them," Meredith remarked. And it's true. These doctors have come a long way since they first set foot in Seattle Grace. Those scared, driven students have now blossomed into incredible surgeons which is great, but leaves a spot wide open for the next generation of freshly groomed doctors. Enter Leah, Stephanie, Shane, Jo, and Heather.
Leah and Stephanie (also dubbed "Perky" and "Grumpy") were put on Cristina's service, which apparently made them inherit Cristina's surgery-hungry drive. They became super competitive with each other throughout the entire episode: one consisting of two sick babies in need of heart transplants and the other regarding a pacemaker patient who loses her pulse whenever she's not standing upside down. (No, I'm not kidding. That was really what her problem was) In the end, however, their eagerness to out-do each other made them nearly kill a patient and got them temporarily banned from the OR. Isn't interning just the best thing ever?!
Meanwhile, Dr. Heather Brooks was placed under Meredith's watchful and somewhat tyrant-y eye. But the poor girl barely saw the inside of an OR since she was so busy being Meredith's little lap dog. Now that Derek is attempting to restore his damaged hand back to its full function, he needs a nerve donation ASAP. And since live nerves are better than cadaver ones, Meredith makes poor Heather call each and every one of Derek's sisters to try and convince them to be a donor. Of course, being the McMartyr that he is, Derek hates the idea of asking for his sisters' help. Meredith wins out in the end (which is the case in most marriages) and his sister Lizzie Shepherd (played by Neve Campbell) flies in for the operation. If his sister never got on his nerves before, she certainly will now (get it?).
Elsewhere in the hospital, Dr. Shane Ross got stuck on "The Dud" April Kepner's service, where he assisted in "lumps and bumps" duty (it basically involved removing really gross things from multiple patients' bodies). They weren't glorified surgeries by any means, but it allowed Shane to practice his bedside manner, which proved to be a quite useful skill to have. With Derek's donor-nerve surgery about to get underway, Callie and Jackson are in the market for an intern they can trust to help assist in the procedure. It's a groundbreaking operation, which means everyone wants in. But since Shane was the only one who actually treated Derek like an actual patient, the position was his for the taking. Way to go, Shane!
And that leaves us with Dr. Jo Wilson who was assigned to Alex Karev's service. Now these two have always had some sexual tension between them that's been masked by an array of hurtful insults. However, this week Karev got to see his intern who he's coined "Princess" since he thinks she's privileged in a completely different light. After a teenage girl gives birth to a baby with CDH, she attempts to abandon the baby altogether, which prompted Jo to yell at and completely body-check the girl's mother in an elevator. Impressive! Jo later confesses to Karev that her mother abandoned her when she was two weeks old. She has no family and had to work hard for everything that she's accomplished. Basically, she made Karev look like an ass (which isn't a very hard thing to do), but he actually seemed remorseful about the things he said. Could this be the start of a beautiful sexy relationship? I sure hope so!
The episode concluded with the interns admirably looking at their mentors with awe and admiration. "I can't believe they used to be us," Heather remarked. And so goes the circle of (medical) life.
So what did you think of this week's episode? Did you enjoy learning more about the new interns? Do you miss the days when that used to be Meredith & Co.? Sound off on your dissections and opinions in the comments below!

DETROIT (WTAQ) - It was sloppy at times, but a strong defensive effort and a 22-yard Aaron Rodgers to Randal Cobb scoring play late in the final quarter helped the Packers slip past the Lions 24-20 at Ford Field in Detroit Sunday.
The Packers defense gave it their all, sacking Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford 5 times and intercepting him twice. One of those was by M.D. Jennings, who returned it 72 yards for a touchdown in the 3rd quarter.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers finished the game 19-of-27 for 236 yards with one TD and 2 interceptions. Cobb caught 9 passes for 74 yards.
The Packers (7-3) have won 5 straight, while the Lions (4-6) are watching their playoff hopes fade away fast.
Get a full recap of the Packers win over the Lions with Mark Daniels and Nick Vitrano on the 5th Quarter Monday at 5 p.m. exclusively on 97.5/1360 News Talk WTAQ.
