Snoring, and sleep apnoea in particular, were both generally considered to be conditions predominantly affecting men but we now know this not to be the case, with the ration of men to women estimated at approximately 2:1. Since sleep apnoea is mainly a problem that is self-reported , men were more likely to seek help for this and heavy snoring, even if prompted to do so by their partner.
Approximately 50% of women snorers are believed not to report their symptoms to their GP, mostly due to being embarrassed. Some studies show that as many as 90% of more severe cases go undiagnosed in women, and women have a tendency not to report apnoea events, choking or restless sleep, whereas most men did report these matters.
Treatment however can be both simple and inexpensive and it can prevent major health problems in later life. Sufferers are often put off by the thought that the treatment most used historically was CPAP, where air is forced via a mask into the lungs throughout the whole night. More recent thinking is to recommend the use of an oral appliance for mild and moderate cases of sleep apnoea.
Comparison showing Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP and an Oral Appliance (MAD)
The contrast is shown in the photography above where one patient is using a mask
for CPAP and the other an oral appliance – just distinguishable in the inset, with the result that this method is now much more appealing to those who suffer – both men and women. This treatment, although not quite so effective, works very well.
Snoring often results in a disturbed night and it is very common to hear a comment such as – "I barely slept last night. I just couldn't get comfortable" – or – "I tried to fall asleep, but my mind kept racing."
Sleep, and the lack of it, is a common talking point, and disturbed sleep generally is much more common in women than men. A woman's experience of sleep loss is different and sometimes feminine factors are involved that may cause and maintain sleep difficulties. However, focusing on quality sleep is important to help prevent many aspects of both physical and mental health.
Disruption of sleep leads not only to daytime sleepiness, but memory lapses, weight gain, headaches, irritability and poor work performance overall. It can also contribute to psychological disorders such as depression and for the more severe cases, there's an increased risk of high blood pressure, premature heart disease and stroke.
It's not an area to neglect.
The best solution is an approach on several fronts including exercise, reduced alcohol consumption, healthy eating and treatment for the sleep apnoea or heavy snoring which will stop the snoring immediately whilst other things take time.
There are several treatment solutions including surgery, CPAP (Continuous Positive Airways Pressure) a full-face mask which works by stopping the airways from collapsing, or a mandibular advancement device, like a sports mouth-guard, that holds the lower jaw slightly forward, making more space to breathe.
Many women now opt for the mouthpiece. It's easy to wear, quite comfortable, non-claustrophobic unlike the mask, and doesn't create dryness of the mouth, which CPAP has a tendency to do. Mouthpieces are easily acquired as they are non-prescription, but some are NHS Approved, which is preferable, and they will bring you immediate results.
SleepPro now have a special product in their range dedicated to women only – the only oral appliance technology company to do so.

Adelaide Hunter Hoodless
Adelaide Hunter Hoodless
By: Corey Everrett
Women's Institutes (W.I.) can be found throughout the world, with the common goal of educating and empowering women, and serving their local communities. Adelaide Hunter Hoodless is considered the founder of the first Women's Institute; through her work creating W.I's and her tireless promotion of the education of women, she created a lasting legacy in the women's rights movement, and her influence can still be felt today.
Adelaide Hunter Hoodless was born outside of the village of St. George, Ontario and lived on a farm with her twelve siblings. Adelaide's family was very cultured and intellectual, which led to all of her brothers becoming university educated. It was after Adelaide had married and began a family with John Hoodless in Hamilton that Adelaide realized how important it was to properly educate women as well. Adelaide and John suffered the great tragedy of losing their 18 month son, who died after drinking non-pasteurized milk. This horrific event made her realize that she had not been properly educated about the science involved in caring for ones' family and home. Adelaide immediately used the loss of her son to promote educating women and better preparing them to care for their families. She urged farmers to drink "pure milk" and developed the motto that "you purify society when you purify the home".
Adelaide led numerous women's rights movements, including implementing the teaching of domestic science in Ontario Public Schools, opening a permanent home economics school and a women's department in the Ontario Agricultural Society in Guelph, and was the President of Hamilton's Young Women's Christian Association. Nevertheless, Adelaide Hunter Hoodless is most well known as the founder of the first Women's Institute (W.I.) in Stoney Creek, Ontario on February 19th, 1897. This group had the same objective of educating rural women about the science involved in domestic duties, but also expanded its mission to include personal and communal growth. Women's Institutes still thrive today and can be found in over thirty countries around the world.

Seriously though, people. I am bad at writing about myself. Hopefully that doesn't automatically make me a bad blogger. :-/ So I want to hear from you guys about what you like to find out about in an "About Me" page.
This could be stuff you generally like to read, or a burning question you've been dying to ask me for months. Ok, not really months, I think I've only had like 4 readers that date back months (3 if you don't count my mom). Hah! Or do you have any tips on how to share personal information without sounding like you're putting info out on a dating site? Example: I'm in my early 20's and enjoy coffee, cute puppies, and long walks on the beach. In that case, I shared information but also sound like a weirdo looking for a date.
So please (pretty please!) help me! Comment with your questions, truth or dares, tips for dumb bloggers who can't write about themselves, tricks for making people REALLY want to follow you, basically anything that will help contribute to making my "About Me" page slightly less lame. Thanks in advance!!
PS - It's ok if you go look at the page, if I was really that embarrassed I could've erased it. I don't think it's the worst thing ever, but it does sound a little cheesy to me and Hubs laughed at part of it the other day so it's got to go!

Rio Ferdinand is in hot water after calling Alan Wiley a "sh*t ref"
Comment & analysis round-up
Quote of the day: "I am not surprised [at United's yellow cards], the referee is there for this. If players do not respect him, it should be yellow and red cards. It doesn't matter who you are – Liverpool or Manchester United, whoever. It was strange that he [Riley] finished the game when he did but we need to accept his decision." – Felipe Scolari.
Runner-up: "Khaldoon [al-Mubarak, future chairman] and I have agreed that we will not be making any more announcements for a while as we really now need to sit down with the manager, executive chairman [Garry Cook] and key staff and put together plans that will, over time, get the club to where we want it to be. As part of that, we will absolutely spend time listening to the fans about what you think about the future of the club. We are very aware that without the fans there would not be a club to buy and your voice will be heard by the organisation at the highest level." – Sheikh Mansour.
Today's overview: Analysis of yesterday's Chelsea-Manchester United game dominates the backpages.
Reporting on the final moments of the match, David Hytner claims that Rio Ferdinand may be hauled up in front of the FA on disciplinary charges for abusing the ref in the tunnel. Sean Ingle adds more details to Ferdinand's outburst in his summary of the game – "He [Wiley] even blew for time early, to general confusion, having initially appeared to have given a foul against Rio Ferdinand, prompting the United defender to call him a 'shit ref' as he walked off."
Taking a wider perspective on the match, United let a crucial psychological blow slip through there fingers yesterday at Stamford Bridge, according to Daniel Taylor. Alan Hansen questions Manchester United's ability to accommodate four top forwards, while David Pleat focused on the performance of John Obi Mikel and fence-sitter Henry Winter argued both sides could take positives from the game.
Martin Samuel goes on the offensive against Newcastle, claiming that they are relegation-fodder. Mike Anstead also finds himself Toon-bashing, highlighting the 10 biggest problems facing the club at present. Finally, the Daily Mirror report that Newcastle are preparing to ship out up to 11 players in the January sales.
In other news, the Daily Mail quote Glenn Hoddle on why Spurs are performing so badly, Rob Hughes gives his verdict on Bayern's humiliating 5-2 defeat at home to Werder Bremen, and Jeff Carlisle looks at how Darren Huckerby is flying in the MLS.
And another article worth a read is Gabriele Marcotti in The Game, who looks at the Jose Mourinho show at Inter Milan. "When José Mourinho was named coach of Inter Milan I received a text from one of his new players. 'Boy, this is going to be fun!' he wrote. 'I can't wait to see who he picks a fight with first… You guys will have plenty to write about.â€
Reporting on the final moments of the Chelsea-Manchester United match, David Hytner (Guardian) claims that Rio Ferdinand may be hauled up in front of the FA on disciplinary charges. "United's team bus was attacked with a missile – a window was cracked and the perpetrator arrested – after a match which finished with Rio Ferdinand storming down the tunnel, shouting obscenities, seemingly about the referee, Mike Riley. The United defender could be in trouble if the fourth official, Rob Styles, who was on hand, reports him for his comments. The final action of the game had seen Ferdinand, one of three United players booked for dissent – the others were Patrice Evra and the substitute Cristiano Ronaldo – go into an aerial challenge with Didier Drogba, the Chelsea substitute. Drogba crashed to the ground and when Riley opted simply to blow his whistle for full-time, Ferdinand stormed straight off. With Gary Neville, the United captain, engaged in heated debate with Riley, Sir Alex Ferguson strode on to the field to ensure that order was restored."
The Guardian's Sean Ingle adds more details to Ferdinand's outburst in his summary of the game. "A point apiece was a fair result from a game which, while intriguing, never had much flow because of the officiousness of Mike Riley. He blew constantly, like a 1950s child playing at being a traffic policemen after finding a whistle in his Christmas stocking. It wasn't a dirty game, yet Riley flashed eight yellows – seven at United players, just the one at Chelsea blue – missed a blatant Ronaldo dive, and generally got more things wrong than right. He even blew for time early, to general confusion, having initially appeared to have given a foul against Rio Ferdinand, prompting the United defender to call him a 'shit ref' as he walked off."
Manchester United let a crucial psychological blow slip through there fingers yesterday at Stamford Bridge, according the Daniel Taylor (Guardian). "Had United demonstrated that Stamford Bridge was not, in fact, impregnable the impact would have been twofold: first, it could have been the spur to kick-start United's season and answer some of the criticisms that have been attached to their performances over the last few weeks; second, it would have blown a gaping hole in Chelsea's own confidence. Instead, Salomon Kalou's header changes the entire dynamic. Once again, United's supporters are left to wonder why their team has lost the winning habit – and how long it will be before it comes back."
Alan Hansen (Telegraph) questions Manchester United's ability to accommodate four top forwards. "Sir Alex Ferguson's biggest problem appears to be in the area where he commands his greatest strength in depth – in attack. A combination of Wayne Rooney, Dimitar Berbatov, Carlos Tevez and Cristiano Ronaldo gives you incredible firepower. But the United manager's biggest question is, how can he accommodate all of them? As they proved 10 years ago, you can succeed with a roster of four top strikers. United won the Treble with Dwight Yorke, Andy Cole, Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and they succeeded because Ferguson found he could play them in any combination. Ten years on, he might not be so sure."
David Pleat (Guardian) focused in on the role of John Obi Mikel for Chelsea in yesterday's match. "It was Luiz Felipe Scolari's redeployment of Mikel John Obi that swung dominance Chelsea's way at Stamford Bridge after Manchester United had held the ascendancy in the early stages and taken the lead. The Chelsea manager asked Mikel to make a positive change of positioning after about half an hour, pushing him further forward to support Frank Lampard and Michael Ballack rather than protecting the back four. Chelsea wrested midfield control by overloading in that area and monopolising the ball and it gave Lampard and Ballack a chance to make their runs further forward."
Henry Winter delivered his match report in the Telegraph, noting both sides could take positives from the game. "Apart from the point and the gutsy display, Ferguson can take other positives from the Bridge, notably an assured performance by Jonny Evans alongside Rio Ferdinand, a buccaneering contribution from Patrice Evra and sweat-soaked shifts from Owen Hargreaves and Darren Fletcher. For Chelsea, a confident start to the season cannot mask the reality that Didier Drogba must return to the starting fold. Nicolas Anelka again failed to impose himself, and missed a chance presented by Joe Cole that could not have been more gift-wrapped had it come with ribbons and a card that began 'Cher Nicolas'."
Adopting classic English stereotypes, John Cross (Mirror) claimed English grit helped earn Chelsea a point. "It was hardly a classic Chelsea performance and lacked the sort of style and swagger which Scolari has injected into the squad since taking charge in the summer. But Scolari will have gone home knowing that Chelsea have the kind of never-say-die spirit which turns teams from contenders into champions. Blues simply refused to surrender their unbeaten Premier League record and dug in to snatch a point that was beginning to look beyond them."
The Times' Martin Samuel goes on the offensive against Newcastle, claiming that they are relegation-fodder. "From the pitch to the board-room, Newcastle have become a big no-show. The directors are too frightened to turn up and the players are hiding behind excuses, while the management thinks that each day could be its last. It is not a recipe for disaster because, in terms of the direction the club are taking, that has happened. It is a recipe for relegation… Who was in charge as the club slipped into the relegation zone on Saturday, with no prospect of a steadying hand on the tiller? Chris Hughton is the caretaker manager, but no one is taking care of this club. There is a void filled only with angry voices and the occasional bleating of the owner and now the players have gone into hiding, too."
The Sun's Mike Anstead also finds himself Toon-bashing, highlighting the 10 biggest problems facing the club at present. "No7: Avoiding a relegation scrap Saturday's dismal defeat at West Ham dunked Newcastle into the Premier League drop zone. Yes, it is still early days in the season but they must drastically improve their form — something that is difficult to imagine right now — to avoid being pulled into a relegation fight come Christmas."
According to the Daily Mirror, Newcastle are preparing to ship out up to 11 players in the January sales. "Steven Taylor is ready to join a mass exodus at Newcastle – even though he recently signed a new contract at St James' Park. The England Under-21 star is one of 11 players ready to quit the Magpies in January following the departure of Kevin Keegan. Others include Michael Owen, Oba Martins, Nicky Butt, Damien Duff, Shay Given, Joey Barton, Alan Smith and Shola Ameobi."
The Daily Mail quote Glenn Hoddle, who gives his verdict on Spurs' poor form. Hoddle: "It's easy to plead for patience but that is what is needed at Tottenham right now. They have rebuilt and rebuilt over the last five or six years. There has been a lot of money spent but just throwing money at it isn't the answer because the existing top four are not exactly short of cash… Ramos has signed some good players but they have yet to prove that they have what it takes to perform in the Premier League instantly and that is what is required from players these days. How much would he give to still have Jermain Defoe at the club? People talk about losing Dimitar Berbatov and Robbie Keane but for me they had a prolific goalscorer – one who will end up at the top of the scoring charts this season – in the squad in him."
Moving onto European football, Rob Hughes (IHT) reports on Bayern's humiliating 5-2 defeat at home to Werder Bremen. "Viewed on video, the goals were largely aided and abetted by home-team defending that would not pass for amateur soccer… Poor Michael Rensing. Somebody had to follow Oliver Kahn's domineering decade-and-a-half as Bayern's goalkeeper, and whereas we can only imagine the rage with which Kahn would have stood up against such a good hiding, Rensing was to blame on at least three of the goals. The result will send tremors around the Bundesliga, and further afield. Bayern's name is meant to carry a certain cachet; its history as Germany's most mighty force used to be worth almost a goal start."
ESPN's Jeff Carisle looks at how Darren Huckerby is flying in the MLS. "In the eight games Huckerby has played on the left side of midfield, the Quakes have scored 13 goals, after netting just 11 times in their first 16 matches. And in the process, he has bucked all of the stereotypes that follow older, foreign players, namely that they only come to MLS to go through the motions and collect one last paycheck. Not only has Huckerby tallied four goals and four assists during his short time in the South Bay; his marauding runs down the left wing have also done plenty to unbalance defenses… Huckerby's midseason rescue of the Quakes makes him this year's Cuauhtemoc Blanco, minus the hair-trigger temper."
And another article worth a read is Gabriele Marcotti in The Game, who looks at the Jose Mourinho show at Inter Milan. "When José Mourinho was named coach of Inter Milan I received a text from one of his new players. 'Boy, this is going to be fun!' he wrote. 'I can't wait to see who he picks a fight with first… You guys will have plenty to write about.â€

K- No, that was last time. And a very invigorating game it was too because one person absolutely refused to sign anything unless I bought them samosa and tea, sang their personal top ten hits of MGR while standing on one leg and promised to bring them four bottles of authentic Andhra mango pickle.
S- So what did you play today?
K- First we played Repeat After Me Because You Are Stupid.
S- I've never played that!
K- It's definitely one of the Old Skool games. The esteemed Gee Oh Official yawns at your kazillion papers. Then he says 'You need to get attestation from two freshwater ducks that are on their way to Latvia.'
S- Then?
K- Then he looks at you and says very slowly, 'You need to get? Come on, tell me?'
S- Oh! It's like filling in the blanks!
K- It really does wonders for your self-esteem to be an adult and sit there while another adult talks to you like you are a three-year old that eats glue.
S- It is a very long game?
K- It really is. We were playing for about an hour before we finally got to 'Two freshwater ducks that are on their way to? Come on come on say me? Lat-vi-a. Very good.'
S- You played that the whole day?
K- No, after that we had a very dramatic session of You Don't Have A Pen?!
S- That game scares me. So much drama.
K- I think some of our most powerful dramatic actors work in the Gee Oh and they only display their full artistic prowess when they find out you don't have a pen. This one was just like Sivaji, very powerful emoting.
S- These are the people who can win us Oscars!
K- He kept saying, 'You are an educated person? You don't have a pen?' Then the burden of this became too much for him so he started telling this to everyone who passed by. Then it turned into an interactive theater piece.
S- Wow, what was that like?
K- Half the people said I didn't have a pen because I was arrogant and the other half said it was because my family was arrogant. I didn't realize there was such a strong connection between arrogance and not having a pen.
S- There is only one way for you to beat this whole Gee Oh business for good.
K- And that is?
S- Join those freshwater ducks that are going to Latvia.
K- I don't want to go to Latvia. I'm proud to be an Indian.
S- Then you'll probably be going to the Gee Oh for the rest of your life.
K- I'm so ready! Who's the Gee Oh Gee? Yeah you know me! Who's the-
S- No need. Once is enough.

I have had a bad cold for the last few days, and I am a little worried about this backward time-loop hiccupsneeze thing. Do you think I could trigger a universe-swallowing-itself event by sneezing too hard, or too much? Or is that only a danger when you're actually at the Gee Oh?
Also, I would like to mention that the word-verification-word that Blogger is making me type below this comment to verify that I am a human is:
Back in the comments to an earlier post you guys were discussing one-word stories. Do you think I have to worry about Blogger's random word generator suing me for plagiarism if submit SUCKWARM as my one-word story?

I mighty love your blog. But can you make the font darker or the background lighter? I have a tough time trying to read the typing :(

@ space bar- you speak truly, but when you sign in blood at the Gee Oh, doesn't that mean you've signed over your soul and you become undead and can never leave the Gee Oh ever ever? i don't want that to happen yet because i am young and i want to live
@ X- i believe that the backward time-loop hiccupsneeze only works in the Gee Oh but i recommend you stay away from Gee Oh related objects for a while. For instance, do not sneeze next to a post box. while i think the word SUCKWARM would make an awesome one-word story, i am sorry to inform you that the people from plagiarism jail are already on their way to pick you up. the good news is that it is next to the racism jail, so we can wave at each other
@ anonymous- thanks for loving my blog :) sorry you're having a tough time reading it though. i've tried tinkering with the background/font before and this is the best i can do, sorry about that. i had some template drama with this before so i'm a little wary about tinkering with it

Adventure Notes:
Storm was approached by another Paladin who requested his aid to clean out the Gardmore Abbey.
Sir Oakley may be old and tired, but he can occasionally be useful. He did offer the group several thousand gold to help, but Storm refused ANY payment on behalf of the group.
Both Luusi and Kora held their mouths open during the entire exchange.
Sir Oakley transported the heroes back to Winterhaven
Winterhaven looks bigger than before. Without the specter of death at every turn, people do quite well.
Aurelia is still alive and well. She has taken over Bairwin's Grand Shoppe
Enna visited her cow.
Sir Oakley led the heroes to find a secret path behind the Abbey, allowing them to skip the main gate.
The heroes fought through many monsters. Kora netted several kills. "IS ANYONE WIRITING THIS DOWN?" she said while firing Eldritch Blasts at the nearest spider.
After cleaning out the top buildings, there were 2 obvious paths to take.
"So" Storm said "Do we want to go into the catacombs or the vaults?"
With some grumbling and a mighty sigh, the heroes voted and then pushed their way down into the catacombs, believing it to be, somehow, safer.
Sarius reassembled a tomb all by himself.
After fighting their way to a secret room, the party decided to rest for the night.

Question for those of you who keep a clothing budget: how do you handle extra money from a prior year? Basically, I give myself $100 per month for clothes, and I let it roll over each month. But for 2014, I had $212 leftover at the end of December. Should I just call that a win and start fresh as of 2015? Or should I take that $212 and buy something I normally wouldn't? Or should I donate it to the baby supply fund and buy the kid a car-seat (just kidding, I will get him a car-seat no matter what). What do you do for this?
Linkup with Franish to spill your budget stories!

The phone is brand new and has never been rooted. It drives me crazy that the screen wont respond and I have to use the on/off button on the top of the phone to get it to do anything. Once I do that, it usually works. What are my options to make this stop happening? PS- I didn't get the phone from the store otherwise I would just go back... I got it off of craigslist. Thanks!

Investigative filmmaker James O'Keefe exposes the U.S.-Mexico border's vulnerability to terrorism in his latest undercover project, obtained exclusively by The Daily Caller.
O'Keefe's Project Veritas video reminds viewers of recent statements by the president and Obama administration officials that the southern border is secure. O'Keefe then proceeds to Hudspeth County, Texas, to easily cross back and forth cross the Rio Grande wearing the costume of modern history's most recognizable terrorist.
"I see no border patrol. I see no security," O'Keefe said in the video before donning a bin Laden mask. "Thousands of people have stood in my footsteps right now. They've come from South America, Honduras, Guatemala, and they've all crossed the border. And if they can cross, anybody can cross."

The Prodeco Tech electric bicycle
… was born out the frustration of two motor sports store owners and their head mechanic. The trio was baffled by the low quality of electric bikes from overseas and asked themselves two questions: Why and why not us?
Four years of research indicated the American people wanted high quality, low maintenance, portability, lightweight structure, affordability and modern style in an electric bicycle. By 2010, Prodeco Tech was founded and unveiled its G+ series. Two years later the company released the Outlaw series, which features a 750-watt motor.
Each Prodeco Tech machine is designed, built and quality controlled in the United States. These e-bikes are now considered among the finest in their class. Find them at Bike Bistro.


text: In a dull village famous for nothing, Cat lives with a grumpy chocolate maker. No one buys his candy, and no one likes him or his cat. "One day, for no reason," the chocolate maker creates a chocolate mouse with a pink sugar tail. Cat tries one and decides it must be shared. Mr. Green, the grocer, loves the mouse so much that he runs to the chocolate shop. He and the chocolate maker create fruit and chocolate delights, but the chocolate maker still doesn't smile. Cat takes a mouse to many different retailers in town, and the types of cakes and candies increase. The chocolate maker doesn't smile until he tries a mouse for himself. Mortimer and Stainton's latest collaboration brings together two storytime staples. But as usual, Mortimer's pussycat pictures are far more enticing than the precious and convoluted text. Cat lovers will see their own feline friends in every panel and spot, and readers will love drooling over the pictures to study the lovely creations and find the surprises. A short history of chocolate follows the story. (Picture book. 4-7)

the benefits of massage are far reaching and the effects on the body can be dramatic
Poor posture, injuries, long and short term medical conditions, stress or strain can all cause a build-up of muscular tension. If left untreated this can place further stress on joints, ligaments and tendons and can develop into more serious and complex issues.
Massage is an effective tool in releasing muscular tension and pain, resetting imbalances and aiding the body in repairing itself. Regular massage may also help to prevent problems and injuries arising in the first place.

When it comes to raising kids there is so much more to it than any amount of words on paper could ever explain.
This morning I listened to a radio broadcast of a teenager in front of a judge getting her bail set. She didn't like what the judge laid down so she proceeded to drop the F-bomb and flip him off…. Sending her to jail for 30 days and having her bail amount increased in the process. A few hours later I saw the same article on Facebook and was curious to the comments left on the NBC post.
There was an overwhelming amount of criticism in regards to what type of parenting she had received. Granted… in today's world parents are less involved in their kid's life while these kids are held less accountable for their actions than previous generations.
I think that's the point I'm trying to make. We don't hold our kids accountable for what they do. We automatically think there was some other greater force that is to blame for whatever it is they have done.

Like a lot of the posts you'll find here, I honestly feel this one is appropriate to hockey players and non-players, to athletes and non-athletes as well.
Before I get on with the subject at hand, however, I want to wish you a (belated?)…
A late addition to this post is a 1-minute video on (sorta) What I did on Thanksgiving Day Morning. Enjoy.
Testing Theories and Making Your Own Rules
Thanksgiving might be an appropriate time for this essay, mainly because it has a lot to do with some things I'm rather thankful for. Oh, I'll not get into the mushy stuff at this time, but more into the opportunities I've been afforded already in this lifetime.
For the most part, I'm going to be talking about my climb up the hockey coaching ladder. And, if you'll please take this in the right way, I'm going to share a bit about my earliest insecurities and then how I arrived at my latter day confidence in what I do.
Ah, yes, the insecurities… Perhaps a lot like your first experiences out there in the working world, I pretty much followed what others recommended, and I thought long and hard before varying one iota from the norm. I mean, if "the book" on coaching hockey said I should do it a certain way, you can be sure that's the way I did it. Hey, did you do it any differently when you first started?
However, a funny thing happened on the way to the Montreal Forum… 🙂 Well, not exactly the Forum, but just down the street…
I know that on a lot of jobs, everything is spelled out for you. I mean everything. That's not necessarily true when it comes to hockey coaching, though. Naw, I found lots of areas where there appeared to be no help, or no direction. (And trust me: that I devoured every training manual I could get my hands on.) So, almost from the start, I had to — knees-a-knocking — make some decisions on my own.
The interesting part is that most of my own early ideas seemed to work quite well (go figure). And, while any slight successes somewhat boosted my confidence, they also gave me an uneasy feeling. After all, I didn't think that's the way it should work for a 20-something, first-time coach.
Anyway, those kinds of things seemed to keep happening for me — in that areas of the game where I was left to my own devices turned-up roses on most occasions. (Believe it or not, things I recommended to others — including several elite level players — brought me some notoriety.)
Then, as for that half-joke about the Forum, well… It was really down the street in Montreal where I attended the 1980 NHL Coaches Symposium.
Now, understand that I paid my way into that thing, just like about 300 or more other coaches from around the hockey world. However, at one point during the long weekend affair, as each coach in attendance was asked to submit his favorite drill, my MP Drill Format was picked as one of a handful that would be presented to the entire group (including my boyhood idols, the NHL head coaches — gulp). Man, did this young high school hockey coach from Massachusetts sweat at the start. However, my confidence grew quickly as I noticed all the familiar faces — from dawgoned TV — scribbling and taking notes as I spoke. (Years later I would hear that my drill had become a favorite with a coach who ultimately won a bucketful of Stanley Cup trophies. And I also know that my drill has been used in Europe, as well as with other elite level teams here in North America.)
Okay, but that's not what I'm really here to talk about tonight. Naw, instead it's about the experimenting I did — through the earliest years, right up through today.
You see, as I described previously, some parts of our work are fairly carved in stone, while others are left for us to sort-out for ourselves. If there's a difference in the way various people handle things, it's that some tend to shy away from those gray areas, while someone like I just can't let something like that go. I mean, I'm going to think and think on a matter, I'll doodle and doodle if I must, I'll do some testing perhaps, and I'll ultimately arrive at a theory that I truly believe in.
Now, if you want a little boost to your confidence, let me share these thoughts…
For sure, I respect all the guys who coach Division I college teams. Actually, going back a lot of years, I put them on a level far above us mere mortals. However, my interactions with at least three such guys ultimately changed some things. I mean, they actually wrote or called me to ask MY advice on some things (whoa).
Understand that they weren't asking for my help on recruiting or about building their powerplays. No, what they needed to know fell in areas where their jobs don't really take them.
What I'm trying to say is that those guys know (far better than I) how to coach teams loaded with elite level players. What they don't necessarily know is how to bring younger players to the elite level. They've never brought beginners through basic skill difficulties, they've never had to analyze skating strides, and they've never had to decide what course of action to take when different kids suffer from unique body-type challenges.
So, if you think about it, there are probably a lot of things you know about a given line of work that the so-called biggies wouldn't have a clue about.
Okay, let me return again to the original topic. For, I think the constant testing of personal theories can ultimately lead us to form our very own rules.
So, while I don't want to bore you with hockey specific stuff, allow me to at least provide one brief example of this…
Over the years I've watched countless players bust their buns to cover an open opponent who might have a chance to catch a pass and quickly attack our net.
What I'll see is a guy skating as hard as possible to catch the enemy player, only to still allow him to score. Hmmmmm…
At yet other times I'd watch a player physically battle with an opponent out in front of our net, with all that effort still going for naught. And again, hmmmmm…
What I ultimately realized was that all the effort in the world doesn't do a defender a bit of good unless he (or she) is ultimately able to control — or negate — the opponent's stick. In other words, a player can skate like crazy to catch a bad guy, but that's going to be fruitless if the bad guy's stick is left free in the end. And, I discovered the very same thing with him battling the potential attacker out in front of net.
Ultimately then, this became a "rule" with me.
I might also mention here my want to reduce such rules to something really simple, really basic, and really easy for a player to fix in his or her mind. So, what I now tell my players is that, "Sticks score goals!" Over countless practices and chalkboard sessions, they'll gain the broader picture of what I mean — about their hustle or battling only being part of their job, and that all that effort still doesn't matter unless they realize that, "Sticks score goals!"
At this point, you might not be surprised at the fact that I've amassed about twenty such observations over 40-years of coaching. I've written them down, and I review a few at a time nearly every time I meet with my older players. And, for the lack of a better name, I started a few years back referring to these as "Coach Chic's Rules for Winners".
Again, though, while my experiences have been all about hockey, I'm really suggesting that all of my friends could apply the same approach to their special areas of expertise…
For sure, there are some tried and true rules that we're probably wise to accept. Not that I'm opposed to studying any of those as well; hey, a lot of old theories get tossed-out after appearing as gospel for centuries.
What I'm especially targeting here, however, are the many areas of our work where there don't seem to be any rules. And, I'm suggesting here that there probably ought to be, or at least there could be.
In hockey, I am always trying to identify "little things" that seem to have a huge impact on results. Of course, in my sport, the good, bad and ugly can usually be associated with winning versus losing, allowing or preventing an opposition goal, or scoring versus not scoring a goal of our own. It's possible your line of work can be similarly measured — be it in sales, dollars, time saved or wasted, etc.
Lastly, I've meant this post to be as much about confidence as anything else. I might also suggest that it's about problem-solving. For, while my job is to help make the game of hockey easier for my players — be it from an individual or team standpoint, I'll suggest that very similar conditions likely exist in what you do. Oh, you could take a safe route, and not look for newer, better ways. But, it seems to me that your success is ultimately going to be based on how well you also help make things easier for those around you.
By now, most of my on-line friends know my penchant for alternative hockey training methods. I traveled all the way to the old Soviet Union to gather a ton of new ideas, and I've pioneered quite a few new methods including the use of in-lines for cross-training. Now, I'm unbelievably excited at the prospects for another new sport. So, if you have a second, Google the word "floorball" or look for it on YouTube.com. I think you're going to be amazed, even if you're not into ice hockey.
Well, with Christmas just around the corner, more and more folks are doing their shopping on-line. I also know that a lot of you are looking for something special, or something that will prove a huge surprise on Christmas morn. So, I hope you don't mind that I at least mention these gift options:
CoachChic.com is a membership site that's loaded with hockey advice — for players, coaches and parents.
Hockey Tips and Tricks is an on-line store featuring a growing list of hard-to-find hockey products — from truly unique training gadgets to immediately downloadable videos and more.

Pompey are reaping the benefits of keeping things simple, according to Andy Awford.
The Blues boss has reverted to a 4-4-2 formation in recent weeks and has adopted a more basic playing style, which has yielded two wins in three games.
But while Awford is keen to ensure his players don't over-complicate things, he is also keen to allow them to express themselves in the right areas.
Awford said: 'I think the players are seeing the benefit of things being simplified.
'As we grow and as things continue, we can start to add a few more things in.
'It's very simple at the minute.
'It's up and down the pitch, do the horrible side of the game and then play in the final third.
'I've said to the lads "when we are 3-0 or 4-0 up, then you can start playing like Barcelona".
'But until we get to that stage, it has to be what it has to be.
'They know that and I know that.'
There is certainly a more direct style about Pompey as they focus on getting the ball forward quickly and get more crosses into the box.
But it has not become route one.
Awford said: 'We've certainly played differently.
'We've been more direct and we've used pace up front and wide to get into those dangerous areas.
'It's a bit more no-nonsense, which is what this league is all about.
'But I also think that when we get into that middle and final third, we have got quality footballers that the club have signed.
'I like to play the game in a certain way and we certainly don't hoof it.
'But it's about getting that balance right.'

Is It Cost-Effective To Make Pantry Staples Yourself?
We love offering DIY recipes — recipes for things like butter, instant oatmeal, chocolate pudding, yellow cake, crackers and jam. You can see a huge list of all our DIY recipes here. But is it more economical to bake your own bread and churn your own butter? If you make your own yogurt, like the kefir pictured above, are you saving money? When is it cost-effective to make your pantry staples at home? The online magazine Slate decided to find out.
Jennifer Reese, the author, points out that while most packaged foods are not nearly as good as homemade, they can also be "spectacularly inexpensive." Grain subsidies, bulk food manufacturing, and the modern economy mean that it may be much less expensive to buy your bagels than to make them yourself.
So Reese goes on an investigative trip to really compare costs between homemade and storebought bagels, cream cheese, yogurt, crackers, jam, and granola. Her findings are fascinating, and she always evaluates taste as well as cost. Sometimes it's worth it to spend a little more and make it at home.
But mostly the price breakdown comes out in the cook's favor; we were surprised at how much cheaper it can be to make your own yogurt, for instance. You can see the whole list and read the article here:
• Read it: Scratch That: How cost-effective is it to make homemade pantry staples? at Slate
Have you ever priced out your homemade kitchen staples? What DIY products do you prefer to make at home?

Shenyang Jianzhu University
A typical ground imitating tank is analyzed regarding it as the thin-walled structure composed of plates (skins) and beams (reinforcement) using finite element method (FEM). Through moving the location of reinforcements, make the skins close with the flanges of the reinforcements in order to imitate actually the connection of the skins and the reinforcements. The thickness of plates, the size and the geometry shape and the location of reinforcements are taken as parameters to be optimized. In calculation, not only consider effects of the oil-weight, the extra-pressure in tank and the dead weight of the tank on the stresses and displacements of the tank, but also analyze the effects of the inertia forces produced due to the rotation of the tank on the stresses and displacements. Displacement, stress and deformation distributions of the ground imitating tank under the three typical flying postures imitated are given.

The Clamor Over Cloth Diapers: Is the Eco-Payoff Truly Worth the Initiative?
I have 2 youngsters. I did not cloth diaper them, nor did I attempt that elimination communication thing where you try to analyze your infant's numerous faces in order to appropriately anticipate when you need to hold their nude bottom over a mixing dish that you will most likely never ever again make use of for cooking functions. If I approximate we underwent approximately 6 diapers a day for each kid, that's a total amount of 8,760 non reusable diapers I sent out to landfills throughout the initial two years of their lives.
The grand overall is more compared to that, naturally, considering that I don't keep in mind either among my boys ringing in their second birthday celebration by instantly deciding to be potty trained.
We are well past the diaper stage now as well as I have specifically absolutely no strategies to revisit it ever again, excepting radical unanticipated conditions like having to own cross-country to challenge a charming rival or holding an 11-hour filibuster, yet my efforts to lead an extra environmentally friendly way of life have led me to ask yourself: if I had to do it all over once more, would certainly I use towel this time around?
I'll be straightforward, I never also considered it when my children were little bit, because it appeared like a lot of additional work. A lot of poopy extra job. Spraying the poop, scuffing the poop, saturating the poop in containers, cheerfully throwing poop-smeared fabric into the washing machine. I didn't understand the language: linings, pre-folds, flats, fitteds. I wasn't also curious about educating myself on the topic, disposables simply looked like the way to go.
I Will Never Live Without Paper Towels (yet Don't Inform Anybody).
Fabric diapering seems to have come back in vogue lately, many thanks to much easier fasteners and super-cute textiles. I've long suspected that the trend of showing off adorable infant butts swaddled in appealing patterns has actually led to a boost in the number of people that insist that towel diapering is better for the environment.
There's no doubt that disposable diapers create a LOT of waste.
Around 27.4 billion disposable diapers are made use of every year in the USA, leading to a feasible 3.4 million lots of made use of baby diapers included in land fills every year. One research study estimates that the $7 billion dollar disposable baby diaper industry uses over 300 extra pounds of wood, 50 extra pounds of oil feedstocks, and 20 pounds of chlorine for each infant each year.
Those numbers appear jaw-droppingly horrible, up until you consider that cloth diapering likewise has an unfavorable affect on the setting. Fabric baby diapers use up large quantities of electrical power and water for washing as well as drying, and also industrial baby diaper service delivery trucks eat gas as well as create air contamination.
Well, but what about those toxins in disposable baby diapers, the ones some individuals say can seep from land fills to pollute ground water?
According to the EPA:.
Disposable baby diapers fall under the category of community strong waste, which indicates the product is safe to be taken care of in an U.S. local solid waste landfill. In the United States, modern land fills are well-engineered facilities that are located, made, operated, and also kept track of to make certain conformity with federal laws which intend to secure the atmosphere from impurities which could exist in the strong waste stream.
Spend just a few minutes diving down Google's various informational rabbit-holes, and you could locate thousands of disagreements both for and against fabric baby diapers, in addition to extensive studies that ultimately resulted in a sort of intricate shrug from the specialists.
" Disposables consume more raw materials and generate more solid waste … however towel baby diaper manufacturing and also use consume even more water as well as energy as well as create more … atmospheric discharges and also drainage effluent," writes Allen Hershkowitz of the Natural Resources Protection Council.

And then theres this about Diapers:.
" Both the disposable and also reusable diaper choices create strong waste and wastewater that must be dealt with and/or gotten rid of. A lot more solid waste is developed with the disposal choice, while even more wastewater is generated with the reusable option," composes Jeremy O'Brien, director of applied research at the Solid Waste Association of North America.
Darned if you do, damned if you do not. Perhaps that blending bowl isn't really such a bad idea.

So exactly how's a parent meant to look with all the various viewpoints in order to make the environmentally-friendly option?
I aren't sure that there's a one-size-fits-all solution to the wonderful diaper argument.
My personal sensation is that towel is the much better alternative for those devoted to living eco-friendly, given that you can do points like line dry the materials, buy power reliable home appliances, clean on chilly, and so on. A three-year study by the London-based Environmental Firm ended that there was "no substantial distinction" between the ecological impact of fabric and also disposable diapers– but they do make clear that actions can be taken to reduce the impact of fabric diapering:.
The ecological effects of using designed reusable diapers can be higher or less than using disposables, depending on just how they are laundered. In contrast to the use of disposable diapers, it is customers' habits after acquisition that identifies most of the impacts from recyclable baby diapers.
Despite our benefits, disposables just obtain thrown in the trash, as well as there's no way around that.
It's not also known the length of time it considers a non reusable diaper to decompose.
Centuries, yes, yet the number of exactly? Nobody's specific.
I'm likewise vague just what my conclusion is from all this. I feel like I've come around to believing that towel diapering is the much more liable decision– and also the more economical one over the long term– but would certainly I walk the walk? I truthfully aren't sure. I have extremely stressful memories of those very early parenting days, and I'm not sure that I would certainly have had the ability to commit to cloth. It's not that I would have been squeamish about the poop, it's that I bear in mind really feeling so … at ability. Worn out and also distressed and, you know, practically already drowning under a hill of washing.
Perhaps I would have, if I 'd invested some time right into thinking about the choices prior to me instead of thoughtlessly going with exactly what seemed easiest.

Reporting from Moscow — Tens of thousands of Muscovites on Sunday linked hands along a 10-mile stretch of roadway in the capital in the latest mass protest against Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, who is expected to win the March 4 presidential election.
People of all ages participated in the peaceful protest, as thousands of passing motorists slowed their vehicles and honked to welcome them. Snow fell as cars, many of them bearing white ribbons, balloons, stickers and flowers, made their way along the protest route.
"I have come out today and I will come again and again until we become a majority and win our fight for a better Russia," said Veronika Bisikalova, a 24-year-old lawyer, waving a white scarf over her head.
The demonstration on the Garden Ring road was held two days after Putin's major campaign event, in which tens of thousands of social and municipal workers were bused to the Luzhniki Stadium to express their support for the former two-term president. Putin attended the rally and called on Russians to fight and protect the motherland in an ongoing "battle of Russia."

Dierks Bentley Wants Fans to Have a Good Time in 2014
Dierks Bentley is ready for 2014. His long-awaited album, 'Riser,' is set to hit stores, and Bentley has been planning a new tour.
The 'I Hold On' singer has been spending time perfecting the album for fans, hoping to achieve an ideal balance of songs. But Bentley also has some fun in store for fans with his upcoming tour plans.
"Next year, we're going out on a big tour and I want to make sure I have the right songs in place to support the fun," Bentley tells Country Weekly. "We have the heavier songs like 'I Hold On' and 'Riser,' which I want to get to as a single, but I want to make sure I have the stuff my fans have come to know us for — putting on a little bit of a party and having a good time. I wanted to make sure I had that part of the record covered with a few extra songs."
Fans are going to have to wait a little longer to see and hear something new from Bentley. A complete list of tour dates has not been released, and there's also no set release date for 'Riser,' but that just gives him more time to perfect every song and deliver a great album to his fans.
Bentley will headline one night of the Tropical Nights: Boots in the Sand getaway at the Riviera Maya in Mexico, from Feb. 23-27.

Occasionally I ask Sue when I can retire. She always has the same answer, "When you get a job."
She's kidding, sort of, because we both seem to work constantly. Since we are self-employed, technically we don't have jobs. Those of you who also farm, ranch or run your own business know what I'm talking about. You are your own business. When you quit, you don't eat.
Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't trade my life style with most stressed out employees I know. I like deciding what I'm going to do today rather than wait for someone to tell me when and how to do it. My problem is, some days there is just so much to do I can't decide where to begin. Ever have that problem?
Recently I came up with an idea to get myself more organized. I decided to make a list of things that needed done. Once on paper, the tasks seemed easier to plan and rank by importance. Since my duties range from ranch activities outside of the house to office work inside, I tried to put a mix of both on my list. As I refined the idea, I decided there should be a few relaxing "recreational" items on the page also.
In the beginning the system worked great. I breezed through "change the oil in the tractor, take salt to the cows and clean the horse barn" in great style. I tried not to just do the more attractive tasks, obviously, but I'll admit "painting the trim on the house" seemed to slip by un-accomplished each day. I'll get around to that tomorrow, I promised myself. Some items just jumped out, begging to be done. "Exercise my roping horse," "go to the western store for a new hat" and "stop by the horse trailer dealer for a little window shopping" were accomplished early on.
As day after day, then week after week passed, I was proud of my new-found organization and orderliness. Then strange things began to happen.
One morning, number sixteen on my list, "take David coyote hunting" which I had planned to do today, was checked off as done. For the life of me, I could not remember doing that but hey, this was my list, so I must have done it. The next day, "take drive through the machinery auction" was marked off. I could not for the life of me remember doing it, but it was marked off. Even stranger, "vacuum the living room" had appeared, not at the bottom of the list, but as number one for today's activities. I began to smell a rat.
I hand write nearly everything using my 3rd grade style combining printing and longhand. Only one person can read it. That same person can imitate it perfectly. Each day I awoke to find the tasks I eagerly anticipated marked as finished and one or more really unattractive jobs appeared. Finally, I couldn't take it anymore. When my little blonde "ghost writer" got up in the middle of the night to alter my list, it was no where to be found.
Did I abandon the system or just hide the list?
I'm not telling because Sue reads these columns, too. Let's just say being a little un-organized is better than having someone else organize you!

On the Road for Spring Migration
I left my house just after 6 AM on Thursday to begin my drive to Columbia, MO. I planned to stop and bird on the Blue Ridge Parkway outside of Asheville, NC but as I approached there the skies opened, pouring down rain along with some rolling thunder. So I drove on thru Asheville heading towards Tennessee. My next target area to bird was a road called Max Patch that is about 25 miles west of Asheville. As I neared the exit the rain let up, so I decided to give it a try. Over the next 3 hours I wound my way thru the mountains, stopping first to look for golden-winged warblers that breed along Max Patch. I found 2 playing tag with each other, and a third calling further up the road. I also saw hooded, chestnut-sided and yellow warblers plus American redstarts and several least flycatchers.
Further up the road I found black-throated blue and black throated green warblers, indigo buntings, brown thrashers, American goldfinches, gray catbirds, red-eyed vireos, and downy and pileated woodpeckers. At my last stop I was able to find a beautiful male Canada warbler singing away. I gave it up when the rain returned along with some small hail. I still had 5+ hours of driving ahead of me to make it to Oak Grove, KY where I spent the nite.
I was up at 5:30 AM yesterday to make the 2+ hour drive over to Big Oak Tree SP which is located near the bootheel of MO and the Mississippi river. I had stopped in there a few years ago for the first time, and found the birding to be quite good. I spent 3 hours birding and had the place all to myself. There were not nearly the numbers of birds that I saw before, but I had a pretty good variety. I began with a blue-winged warbler and also saw golden-winged, Nashville, black and white, prothonotary, blackburnian and yellow-throated warblers. It was pretty dry this time, so I only saw 1 swainson's thrush and a fly-by veery. There were lots of blue-gray gnatcatchers, a few red-headed woodpeckers, a single pileated and a single yellow-bellied sapsucker.
On my way out of the park I found a dickcissel singing away (click on any photo to enlarge). I saw 2 more as I drove north along with lots of horned larks, several loggerhead shrikes, and a flock of savannah sparrows. I made it to Columbia by 5 PM to be welcomed by my friends' canada geese and a pair of nesting killdeer.
This morning Marty and I drove about 5 miles to an experimental farm where much to our surprise we found an immature bald eagle, and also a northern harrier and a pair of dickcissels. There was not much else of note, so we drove about 15 miles to check out a pretty gravel road that is criss-crossed by a stream. We found prairie and blue-winged warblers singing at the head of the road along with a a field sparrow. Once we got down to the stream area we located a very cooperative worm-eating warbler singing at length. Then we tracked down a Kentucky warbler plus a northern parula, a few ovenbirds, a blackburnian female, eastern phoebe, gray catbird, hairy and red-bellied woodpeckers, and a fly over red-shouldered hawk.
Since I am in MO, and have not said anything about trying for the tropical mockingbird I mentioned in my last post that is at Sabine Woods in Texas, you have assumed correctly that I decided not to drive an extra 1000 miles to try to see that bird. There is also a rarely seen bahama mockingbird in Florida as I write. Instead of chasing either, tomorrow Marty, Nola and I will be heading into Kansas for 4 days of birding. Stay tuned!

The weather's glorious, you've dug out your bikini and you're ready to hit the beach in your flip-flops – or are you? If you've not checked out your feet lately, then they're probably not looking too hot right now; try some of the following tips for fabulous summer feet.
Calloused heels
Get cracking on those calloused heels by raiding your kitchen for fresh lemons and extra virgin olive oil. Evening time is best, as your heels will have several hours to absorb the oil overnight.
Start by soaking your feet for 10–20 minutes in fresh lemon juice and warm water (the lemon juice is mildly acidic and will help soften the dry skin), then give your heels a good scrub with pumice stone. Dry your feet thoroughly, apply a liberal amount of the olive oil then put Saran wrap around them, which will help seal the moisture in. Keep your bedsheets clean by slipping on a pair of cotton socks that are comfortable enough to sleep in.
Don't panic if you've just used the last of the olive oil on your pasta! Coconut oil or ordinary vegetable oil are equally good substitutes.
Fungal nail infections
I'm sure that anyone who's suffered with fungal nail infections will attest that they're unsightly and embarrassing (and that's putting it politely). Severe cases may require prescribed medication, but you might want to try organic apple cider vinegar first.
Using a Q-tip, apply the vinegar directly onto the base of the infected toenail (where it touches the cuticle) twice a day, or soak your feet in an equal-part mixture of apple cider vinegar and water for 30 minutes once or twice daily (this seems to provide the highest success rate). The acidity of the vinegar is thought to create an inhospitable environment for the fungus, preventing it from surviving.
Hang in there with this process, as the infected nail will have to grow out first, which can take several weeks or months.
Foot odor
If smelly feet are making you feel like a social pariah, then you may want to try this unusual but popular home remedy – steeped black tea.
Black tea apparently helps to diminish fungal skin infections and neutralize odors as tea tannins can inhibit bacteria growth and are natural astringents, helping to reduce sweating by shrinking sweat glands. Using a footbath, simply steep 5 tea bags in 5 cups of boiling water and leave to cool before immersing your feet in for 10-15 minutes. Don't forget to clean them thoroughly afterward, as the tea will stain.
Similarly, the apple cider vinegar soak can also be used for this problem.
Swollen feet and ankles
Revitalize those tired tootsies with an herbal footbath followed by a chilly dip. Firstly, soak your feet in warm water infused with fresh mint or peppermint oil (you could also use ginger or mustard oil), and then dunk them straight into a bowl of ice-cold water for 1-2 minutes. Once you've dried them, massage them with the oil.
Alternatively, slip tubular bandages over your ankles and feet, slide cucumber slices underneath the bandages and elevate your legs for 15-30 minutes. Along with their natural cooling properties, cucumbers can be helpful in absorbing surplus fluids, and the tubular bandages will assist in swelling reduction. For optimum results, try keeping the bandages in a zip-lock bag in the freezer (I prefer this method as the cold bandages feel blissful on hot and aching feet).
Puffy feet and ankles are often more common in summer as the heat causes dilated blood vessels and, if you're not drinking enough water, fluid retention, so upping your water intake should also help.
Neglected feet aren't pleasant to look at, so don't be caught out this summer; get your feet in tiptop condition before the sun start's shining, and bare those dashing digits with pride!

Teachers and parents particularly will find the Ditto Pen quite useful, enabling them to easily score illustrations and alphabets with broken lines. This set of unconventional markers can produce an even and regular stroke of small dashes that requires no additional strain on your hand or your wrist.
The tip of the Quirky-made writing utensil integrates a rolling wheel that takes a form similar to that of a cog. The separate projecting edges press ink onto your page at intervals, constantly picking up more pigment as the disk turns past the shaft.
The Ditto Pen is available in four colors, including green, blue, red and black. With these, one can render letters and numbers for students' writing practice, or draw pictures for kids to color in.
