This is the commonest form of joint disorder to affect human beings. It is often simply regarded as a straightforward degenerative process of "wear and tear " but is actually more complex than this. Several different patterns of joint involvement are recognised and in some, an hereditary component can be more easily recognised. For instance, there is a pattern with predominant involvement of the distal interphalangeal joints (

District Clerk helps transparency, open government
During her campaign for re-election last year, District Clerk Barbara Adamick came under fire from her opponent - and criticism from this newspaper - for not making her office's records available online.
But now she has made good on her pledge to make such records available, as her office now prepares to make civil records accessible to the public over the Internet. We applaud her efforts.
She joins other counties in the state that have done the same and the Montgomery County Clerk's Office, which had all of its criminal and civil records available online by 2008.
With now both the District and County Clerk's offices making such records available, the county is moving toward the more open and transparent government that citizens deserve, where information flows more readily and doesn't require a car trip to downtown Conroe during office hours to secure information.
Adamick's first step was to ask county commissioners Monday to approve a withdrawal of $15,580 from the District Clerk Records Management and Preservation Fund to start upgrading her office's OneImage system, according to our story by Nancy Flake.
Civil documents will be available first, with criminal records following eventually. Records will be visible online, but members of the public will have to pay to print documents, in an effort to generate revenue to support the system.
The county recently made other strides toward openness when it began making the backup documents for its weekly Commissioners Court meetings available online - joining other local governments that already had made such documents readily available.
Throughout the state, more and more local governments are making strides to be more transparent. A more transparent government is a more honest and accountable government. By opening up access to court records online, the Montgomery County District Clerk's office is helping the cause of transparency.

Courses at Startup Institute will help you to build the technical skills, culture skills, and network that will launch you into the growing tech community. Our 12-week Part-Time "nights & weekends" courses feature a number of career-changing benefits including access to an extensive network of local startups and innovative companies looking to hire Startup Institute students. In addition to our signature immersive courses, we also offer introductory courses designed for people who need to... (View In-Depth Report)
When first introduced to UX design, I heard the word "design" and immediately dismissed the idea. I assumed that, to be a designer, I'd have to have spent my life as an artist. What I quickly learned was that a background in studying human behavior was the most valuable experience I could bring to the table.
Many of the skills necessary to the UX design process are ones I used when I was a speech-language therapist. Here are the transferable skills that supported my career change into user experience design:
Step one of any UX project is putting yourself in the shoes of the user. Ideally, you should immerse yourself in your user's world. Understand their pain-points, figure out the needs of all stakeholders, and use empathy to take a different perspective.
Working in human services requires professionals to come to the same level of empathy and understanding prior to designing any type of treatment plan. A great example of this was a three-year-old client I had—I'll call her "Lola." From the moment Lola stepped into my office, I began my research. I spoke to the most important people in her life—her parents, teachers, and doctors. I found out that she had an older brother who loved baseball, so it was important that she could connect with him on that topic. I visited her preschool classroom and sat with her while she struggled to get her needs met by her classmates. Her parents told me about her constant frustrations and tantrums when she couldn't communicate effectively—a pain-point for both her and them.
I began my work with Lola by navigating her world with her so I could best understand how to solve her communication problems.
Like any UX project, working with a client in a human services field requires testing in order to figure out the person's current pain-points and abilities. As both a UX designer and a therapist, it's important to ask the right questions so as not to lead the user/client, and to pinpoint the specific issue you'll need to target.
When it was time to begin testing with Lola, I sat on the floor and pulled out my briefcase of formal testing materials. In front of her, I placed a ball and a baby doll.
Where's the ball? I asked her. She pointed to the baby, looked at me, and laughed. I marked it wrong in my notes. However, her laughter revealed that she was playing a game with me. She did, in fact, know where the ball was, and I had to figure out a way to get her to show this.
I asked my question differently. I had to phrase it precisely in order to get the information I needed from her (a skill I later learned would be crucial as a UX designer). I attempted another approach to the question. This time, I placed a baby doll and a toy car in front of her.
Where's the ball? I asked. She looked confused, demonstrating her knowledge that the ball wasn't in front of her, wondering why I would ask her such a bizarre question. She began searching through my bag of toys, pulled out the ball, and proudly showed it to me, as if to say "Don't you know that THIS is the ball?" I changed my notes to reflect that she does, in fact, understand the word for ball.
To reach any long-term goal, it's important to create actionable metrics. The purpose of these metrics is to help you map the steps towards your goal, learn if you are on-track to reach your goal, and iterate on your solutions if necessarily. As a UX designer, I create metrics to determine the performance of specific solutions to users' problems. These metrics may relate to the number of people using a product, the number of people purchasing my product, the number of button clicks, etc. If we aren't reaching these goals, we need to test and figure out why. These metrics need to be specific, actionable, and reasonably attainable.
With any sort of behavioral treatment design, similar goals and metrics need to be determined. For example, after Lola's evaluation, I began to design her treatment plan. I had gotten input from the people in her life, I had learned about her everyday pain-points, and I'd tested her skills to ensure that my treatment would in fact make her life easier by improving on these current challenges.
Based on what was necessary for her to best navigate her world and what children should be able to do at her age, I created my first goal for her: Lola would have to spontaneously (without a prompt) imitate two-word combinations in 80% of opportunities.
The goal was actionable, specific, and reasonably attainable. Additionally, I was sure to include smaller, short-term goals that would help me bridge the gap between her current abilities and her long-term goal. If in a few months time I saw that we were off-track, we would have to re-test in order to either iterate on our initial metric or make adjustments to the design solution.
Once I'd created long-term goals that would allow Lola to more easily communicate with her peers and family, I had to design my treatment. This included thinking about several factors, including her attentional abilities, interests, cognitive level, etc. (this list goes on and on when working with a young child).
The next time Lola entered my office, I pulled out my toy cars. We took turns wheeling the toy car back and forth in order to build her trust and make her comfortable working with me.
As a UX designer creating a new product, it needs to be built in a way that similarly increases users' trust. I have to remove doubt for my users by giving them the information they need to make an educated decision and by making my site feel human. This makes the decision to use my product easier and more enjoyable for them.
Once Lola trusted me and began enjoying herself, I took my turn with the toy and said, "Car go!" She tried to grab the car from me and push it forward, but I put my hand on it to stop her. "Car go!" I prompted her. She soon realized she wouldn't be able to play until she said it back to me, so she yelled, "Car go!" I reinforced her new behavior with immediate feedback. "HOORAY!" I responded, "You did it!" This immediate feedback is an important part of behavioral treatment design. Similarly, feedback is an important part of product design. Users need to know that when they perform an action with your product, that the action was completed. When the user gets a confirmation that their form was submitted, for example, it makes for a much better experience than if they're left to wonder if their action was correct or a purchase successful.
From that moment on, Lola said "car go" each time she pushed the car. Eventually, she could use these two-word combinations for other parts of her life. She began to explain to her teachers "Mommy go," when she was crying as her mom left her at school, and she could tell them "red ball" when a classmate took her toy from her. Her life became easier and less frustrating because she could communicate her needs.
One of the most important lessons I learned while working in the human services field was to have empathy for my clients. From the moment I began studying behavioral science, it was ingrained in me that the best way to solve a person's problem is by understanding their world. My treatments for these clients had to be thoughtful—with clear and deliverable metrics—in order to keep me accountable to the goals I'd set for Lola.
These same principles hold true for people in all sorts of human service fields. While UX design may seem worlds apart from human services, the transferable skills from teaching, social work, and counseling in fact make these professionals natural designers. People are often surprised that I seemed to have made such a huge career jump; in retrospect, I now see that I was training to be a user experience designer all along.

It would seem, which roller blinds can be talked about when it comes to the usual toilet, i.e. room without windows. We are all used to seeing roller blinds on the windows and doors of apartments, private houses, shops and institutions, where they have a protective function. In the toilet they are necessary to hide a lot of unsightly communications. Plumbing shutters appeared relatively recently and today have become one of the best ways to disguise pipes, valves, meters, filters and water heaters, making the bathroom interior more harmonious and attractive. It remains only to choose the right roller shutters in the toilet, determine the design, material performance, features of installation and design.
Looking ahead, we note that roller blinds are the ideal way to disguise all communications behind the toilet. Someone may argue that it's easier to hide everything under a box of plasterboard or lining, it's aesthetically and inexpensively. Do not forget that you can not hide communications securely – they should be accessed, that's why there is a small hatch in such boxes, but it often does not save, since its dimensions do not allow to get normal access to all sections of pipes. Happens that, it is necessary to break all the planking, and this is dirt, dust and long restoration work. In addition, if the hatch door is swinging, then it is necessary to provide a sufficient amount of space to open it, and if the bathroom is small, problems can arise with this.
All such drawbacks are deprived of sanitary roller shutters, and the rapidly growing popularity of these structures is explained by their numerous advantages:
- the first and most important – roller shutters perfectly hide all communications;
- Rolettes can have almost any size, so you can hide both miniature and large enough niches;
- in which case, access to pipes, valves, meters will be provided instantly – it is enough only to raise the curtain roller shutter up;
- Roller shutters provide full access to all pipe sections located in the toilet. When you open the canvas folds into a box, located at the very top of the structure, without interfering with inspection and repair work;
- the design takes up a minimum of space. The largest element is a box, but in most cases it can be deployed in the direction of the pipes;
- quick installation and minimum of dirty work;
ease of maintenance of the structure, shutters are not afraid of moisture, they will not rot, and to keep them clean, simple washing is enough;
- ease of management;
- durability and safety of appearance. The shutters are made of durable and safe materials with the use of powder coating;
- Roller shutters not only do not spoil the interior, but they can also decorate it. The design can be monophonic, on it with the help of photographic prints apply any patterns and landscapes. Even more! The canvas can exactly follow the pattern of the tile, and then no one but yourself will guess where the pipe system in the bathroom has gone;
- An additional advantage is the ability to organize a storage system behind the roller shutters, if, of course, the nature of the location of communications allows this. The most unsightly, but very necessary items can be hidden away from the eyes, and if they are needed, then you can get them in a matter of seconds;
roller shutters will increase the noise insulation of the toilet room and minimize the sound of running water through the sewer pipes. Manufacturers of such structures also talk about additional insulation.Virtually no plumbing rolls. The main thing is the cost. They will cost you more than the usual fabric curtain (a popular budget method to hide pipes), but in terms of functionality and aesthetics, these options are difficult to compare. A box of plasterboard, by the way, will not be much cheaper, and if you consider that after some visits to the plumbing may need its repair, then roller shutters can be considered the most profitable and convenient option.
Among the minuses is often called electrostatic and the ability to attract dust. In our opinion, this property is greatly exaggerated, and it is not necessary to attach special importance to it. Blinds after all, for example, also need regular maintenance – the main thing is that cleaning roller blinds is easy, and regular cleaning will not make you regret the choice made.

I have four users on my wordpress site (SuperAdmin, Admin, Billing and GIS). I've also created four versions of a dashboard page (DashboardTest, DashboardAdmin,DashboardBilling, and DashboardGis).
I've seen a lot of plugins but I'm looking for the best one to control each of those users being routed to the correct dashboard.
When the user clicks the Portal link in the nav menu, I have it linked to the login page. I want to be able to log in here as each of the four users and be redirected to the right page upon login. I know there are ways to do this but I'm hoping there is one good plugin where I can control the users and the pages they are directed to upon login.

text: Unfortunately, "Murder On the Orient Express" sounds more fun than it is. Based on the 1934 Agatha Christie novel of the same name, the film had no good reason to fail. It had a stellar cast, stayed relatively close to the novel and made important changes to reflect the social and racial issues of the time. But it just didn't work. World-famous detective Hercule Poirot (Kenneth Branagh) is off-duty as he travels across Europe on the Orient Express. When suspicious American businessman Mr. Ratchett (Johnny Depp) is murdered in the night, the young director of the train line (Tom Bateman) appeals to Poirot for help. As an avalanche blocks the way of the Orient Express, Poirot is trapped with 13 passengers, one of which he knows must be the murderer. Poirot goes on to discover secrets about Dr. Arbuthnot (Leslie Odom Jr.), Princess Dragomiroff (Dame Judi Dench), Mrs. Hubbard (Michelle Pfeiffer), Pilar Estravados (Penélope Cruz), Mary Debenham (Daisy Ridley), Masterman (Sir Derek Jacobi), Countess Andrenyi (Lucy Boyton) and Hector MacQueen (Josh Gad), as well as other passengers. Didn't get all those names? Neither did anyone watching the movie. Part of what makes this a compelling novel is what makes it a terrible movie — none of the 13 suspects receives ample screen time, making character development impossible and remembering faces and names extremely difficult. When Poirot uncovers a clue, the audience is less surprised and more confused as they are left trying to remember the face and name of the character being discussed. Furthermore, Branagh's portrayal of Poirot is almost indistinguishable from Sherlock Holmes. If his mustache were a little thicker and his French accent a little thinner, Poirot would literally be Holmes, the eccentric detective who can solve any case by scanning the objects in the room. Perhaps Branagh was trying to ease the audience into acceptance of Poirot by making him more accessible and more like a character the world already knows and loves. Christie herself once compared Poirot to Holmes, saying, "[Early on] I was still writing in the Sherlock Holmes tradition — eccentric detective, stooge assistant, with a Lestrade-type Scotland Yard detective, Inspector Japp." This, however, does not give Christie credit for her ability to develop Poirot from a stock character into an incredibly realistic and complex person. Branagh receives ample screen time — at the expense of other characters — and still fails to convincingly bring Christie's character to life. Poirot never gained the international fame that Arthur Conan Doyle's Holmes did, and this movie was Hollywood's chance to make him a household name. The ending of "Murder on the Orient Express" sets up a sequel based on Christie's work "Death on the Nile," although the sequel is not yet officially in the works. It's a shame, but the plot of this mystery novel just doesn't lend itself to the feature film format. A mini-series would have suited the work much better — the plot twists would have more cachet if the audience actually knew who they were about.

text: PebbleGo Next [Capstone (800) 747-4992] - Website PebbleGo Next is a delightful science (database) website designed for grades 3-5. The designers utilize a clear white background as a backdrop for the crisp, colorful topic-related photos which provide links to the many modules and units. Science content is abundant, and the program's scaffolding and clean design simplify segments so they are easily grasped by this age group. A 'lesson tree' format expands each of the general science categories: Earth Science, Life Science, Physical Science, The Field of Science. Earth Science expands into units on Atmosphere (Greenhouse Gases and Global Warming, Humans and the Atmosphere, Layers of the Atmosphere, Natural Wonders in the Sky, Weather and Climate); Life Science expands into Biological Dangers, Genetics, Human Anatomy, Life in an Ecosystem, Plants and Animals...and so on. The program abounds with science facts and illustrations, and high quality videos add a wonderful dimension to the lessons. In addition, there is read-aloud audio and text-to-speech highlighting to aid struggling readers and/or English Language Learners. Enough cannot be said about this age-appropriate, comprehensive science database. Children will be fascinated by the exciting video experiments at the Capstone Science Lab (Volcano, Magnetism, Erosion, Air Pressure, Bubbling Blobs, Monster Foam, Oceans as a Water Source, Balloon Rocket, Tornado in a Bottle), which are adaptable to the classroom environment using available materials, e.g., the volcano experiment uses baking soda, vinegar, funnel, food coloring, measuring cup, tray, plastic bottle, and modeling clay to simulate a volcano's eruption. A downloadable transcript reads: "When the vinegar and baking soda mix, they make carbon dioxide gas. The bubbles from this gas are what turn the mixture into a frothy foam that expands from our volcano's main vent. The main vent is a weak point that allows materials, such as lava, ash, and gases, to escape from the earth. Now it's your turn to create your own volcanic eruption." PebbleGo Next is accessible from home or school using an Internet connection. Parents and teachers, be sure to sign up on the website for a free 2-week trial.

Who Knows Where Illegal Drugs Originate and Who Acquires Them?
Over many years, pharmaceutical abusers have typically acquired drugs through doctor-shopping, forged prescriptions, or unscrupulous physicians and pharmacists working alone or in association; however, many of these individuals have been dissuaded from using these methods because of prescription monitoring programs (PMPs) and increased law enforcement scrutiny. So, of course, many ever-resourceful abusers have shifted to other means of obtaining pharmaceuticals such as theft, purchases from Internet pharmacies, or acquisitions from retail distributors.
EHR Debate
The debate over electronic health records (EHRs) has been gaining great attention. Some people are concerned about privacy while others are worried that EHRs will help the government with a takeover of healthcare. But few have focused on the potential benefits to patients. (Emily Singer, www.technologyreview.com, February 23 2009)
Technology Review reports some benefits to EHRs:
1. Hospitals with the most effective electronic medical record systems had healthier patients--they saw fewer deaths and complications--and lower bills. Researchers at John Hopkins University School of Medicine found that hospitals that rated highly on automated note taking had a 15 percent decrease in the odds that a patient would die while hospitalized. Hospitals with highly rated decision-support systems also had 20 percent lower complication rates. The researchers also found that electronic systems reduced costs by about $100 to $500 per admission. In summary, hospitals with automated notes and records, order entry, and clinical decision support had few complications, lower mortality rates, and lower costs. (Ruben Amarasingham, MD; Laura S Plantinga, ScM; Diener-West, PhD; Darrell J. Gaskin, PhD; Neil R. Powe, MD; Arch Intern Med; 169; 2009)
2. Electronic systems also seem to improve preventative medicine by boosting screening. A study from Harvard Medical School found that patients who were sent reminders for colorectal cancer screenings, which were generated from electronic medical data, were more likely to get themselves screened. Electronic reminders sent to physicians had no effect on screening rates, suggesting that patients may be an untapped resource in their own preventative healthcare. (Thomas D. Sequist, MD; Alan M. Zaslavsky, PhD; Richard Marshall, MD; Robert H. Fletcher, MD; John Z. Avanian, MD, Arch Intern Med.; 169; 2009)
3. Also, in the first study of its kind, Richard Tannen, M.D., Professor of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, led a team of researchers to find out if patient data, as captured by EMR databases, could be used to obtain vital information as effectively as randomized clinical trials, when evaluating drug therapies. (Karen Kreeger, "Penn Studies Show How How Electronic Medical Records Can Be Used to Test Drug Efficacy," www.eurekalert.org/pub, February 6 2009) According to research published in the British Medical Journal, statistical analysis of electronic medical record databases mimics results of clinical trials, predicting which drugs work best. This kind of data wouldn't replace clinical trials, but some scientists say EMRs could be used to supplement clinical trial data, to look at a drug's effectiveness in a more diverse population, for example.
4. People might also have access to their own health data online through EMRs -- seeing their weight along with their cholesterol and blood pressure measurements plotted out over time, for example, is a good impetus to keep these measurements in check.
If these records showed all meds prescribed and purchased it would help pharmacists and physicians to curb prescription drug abuse. The information could be exempt from use in prosecuting the patient, but used to track providers who were over prescribing controlled meds. Prescription drug abuse is about as prevalent as illegal drug abuse. Many people sell their prescription drugs on the street for cash. Doctor shopping is a common practice, and is a real problem for ERs and providers, not to mention a nightmare that facilitates drug addiction.
Resistance To Changes
Here is an description of another fight for tracking of prescription drugs in California. (Andrew Pollack, "California Delays Time to Track Prescription Drugs," The New York Times, March 26 2008) California regulators agreed to delay by two years a requirement that all prescription drugs be electronically tracked as a means of thwarting counterfeiting.
"Pharmaceutical manufacturers told the California board that putting a unique serial number on each container would require changing their packaging lines, which would cost millions of dollars and take years.
In a reprieve for the pharmaceutical industry, California regulators agreed on Tuesday to delay by two years a requirement that all prescription drugs be electronically tracked as a means of thwarting counterfeiting.
The California plan was to take effect next Jan. 1. And given California's size and the ambitiousness of its plan, some experts expected the California system to become the de facto standard for the nation.
But in a meeting here on Tuesday, the California State Board of Pharmacy voted to delay the requirement until Jan. 1, 2011.
The vote was a response to complaints from drug manufacturers, distributors and retail pharmacists that they could not possibly be ready by next January. And rather than violate the law, they said, they would have to stop selling drugs in California.
"The vast majority of product will not move starting Jan. 1, 2009," Ronald N. Bone, a senior vice president at McKesson Pharmaceutical, a large distributor, warned the board before its vote. He said only 100 of 650 drug manufacturers surveyed by McKesson would be ready to put the tracking system into effect by the deadline.
Some board members were skeptical of the industry's arguments, saying a delay would leave patients at risk of getting fake or adulterated drugs.
"All I'm getting is 'We can't do it, we can't do it, it's too expensive,' " said a board member, D. Timothy Dazé.
"And I ask, 'What value do you folks put on a life?' " (Pollack)
Ohio Tracking
Even as Governor Strickland's new task force looks for better ways to stifle prescription abuse, law enforcement already has some tools. Doctors, pharmacies and law enforcement have a database they can check to see if someone is receiving the same or similar prescriptions from several doctors. Strickland charged the task force with pursuing additional strategies to increase the use of Rx reporting by doctors and pharmacists.
The Ohio Automated Rx Reporting System (OARRS) tracks every time an opioid or opioid derivative, which includes most painkillers, are prescribed or dispensed. If a registered authority types in the name of the person receiving the prescription, the OARRS will tell them what doctor prescribed it and what pharmacy gave it to him.
OARRS in Ohio is voluntary, not mandatory. So, it is a tool but cannot, in itself, be used as evidence in court. Hard copies will be required. So, the effectiveness against pill mill operations is very insignificant.
While all doctors and pharmacists report into the system, only one in five use it when filling prescriptions, according to Strickland's office. One of the goals of the Ohio Prescription Drug Abuse Task Force (OPDATF) is to increase the number of doctors and pharmacists who use OARRS.

Saving money is one of the most important aspects of building wealth and having a secure financial foundation. Yet many of us have learned the importance of saving money through trial and error.
In part two of our savings guide we look at the importance of getting children in to the habit of saving as early as possible and the range of saving accounts available. We start with tips on how to make savings fun for children.
Start with a piggy bank
Children as young as three can understand the concept of saving and spending money. A piggy bank can be a great way to teach children the importance of saving, while giving them an easy way to do it. Setting a goal of filling up the piggy bank, until there is no room, is a great way to motivate children to save.
Open a bank account
Once the piggy bank is full, get children involved in opening up a savings account (see the account options below). It can provide a great source of motivation for children if they understand that by putting their money into a savings account rather than simply spending it, it will grow over time!
Use savings jars
When your kids really want the latest toy, let them know they will have to save up for it. Give them a jar and offer them an allowance each week in small denominations to encourage saving.
Make it fun and visual
Setting up a savings chart and using stickers to identify key milestones, such as when they reach 25%, 50% and 75% of their goal, is a great way to keep them motivated.
Visuals are also helpful in illustrating their savings goals and how their money is growing. Encouraging saving up for short-term goals, i.e a new toy will incentivise and motivate them to continue saving in the future.
Lead by example
Children learn by example, so the best way to teach your child about saving money is to save money yourself. Have your own jar of money that you put funds in regularly.
Reiterate the message that every time you get paid, you save a portion of your salary to help prepare for the future.
Start a conversation
One of the most important things you can do is to start a conversation about money and the importance of saving. Let your children know they can have an allowance, but it's up to them to save up for things they really want.
Teaching children how to save money may seem like a tough task. But using these tips, you can make your child's understanding of money fun and accessible. It's an investment in knowledge which truly pays the best interest.

Ever since I sent Katrina (my pal and author of the best design blog there is, Pugly Pixel) that link about how to make digital glitter, I found a renewed love for all things glittlery.
So, I fired up Photoshop and made a few glittery wallpapers for my MacBook. They are 1280x800 px. If you like any of them, feel free to click on the smaller images and save them to use in your computer.
I used some very cool brushes by Green Bulb Gang, which you can see here.
Click and save these to download the original size...
Enjoy and have a great weekend.

I Saw the Sign (Yes, as a matter of fact; that Ace of Base song is playing in my head!)
Driving home from a business meeting yesterday, I saw a sign outside of a local business that read, "Quality is not an act. It's a habit."
Who can argue with that? (I dare you!)
As an entrepreneur, you can't deliver a really great product or service a single time (or even 2 or 3 times) and expect to be known for your quality. "Quality" demands consistency over time. You have to make quality a habit and practice it each and every day to earn the distinction of being known as a quality provider.
The Meaning of Quality
Earlier today, on my Facebook page, I asked the questions…
"What words do you think are synonymous with 'quality'?" and "What does quality mean to you?"
Integrity, honesty, and "done right the first time!" were among the responses. Those who answered also agreed that for a business to stay around long-term, it has got to make quality and the characteristics that are at its foundation a top priority.
Making Quality a Priority
Whether you're a solopreneur or a small business owner with employees, you need to set the expectation of quality in all work produced and delivered to your clients. A consistent drive to strive for excellence should be part of your company's M.O. That means doing your very best for clients, standing by your work and making it right when a client is justifiably not satisfied.
Patience and Passion
To earn the "quality" seal of approval and word of mouth endorsements, you need patience as a new entrepreneur (or as one who is reinventing the perception of your company). When I transitioned from a corporate product management/development role to an independent freelance writer just over 2 years ago, I had to put a great deal of time and effort into building my portfolio, getting my work and capabilities recognized, and establishing relationships that would lead to future projects. For someone who likes to see immediate results and return on effort, that was tough!
But a sincere passion for what you do will make the level of patience required more palatable. If you believe in yourself, your business and your value to clients, you'll inherently find the fortitude you'll need to stay the course.
Be patient. Be passionate. And above all, persist in making quality a habit. The reward of a "quality" reputation is within your grasp!
Your turn! What does "quality" mean to you? What does it mean to your clients? Are you working to become known for quality, or are you already there?

Foot pain can be a very debilitating condition to experience. First, however, it is important to figure out what is causing it. Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. Standing for long periods of time and overuse can cause the plantar fascia to become inflamed. Plantar fasciitis can affect anyone. Thankfully there are a number of treatments available for heel pain, with many of them being very easy to do. Keeping pressure off the feet, resting, and avoiding overuse can improve the condition of many who suffer from plantar fasciitis. Another method for treating heel pain includes buying a new pair of well-fitted shoes. Look for a pair that is not too tight or loose for your feet. Shoes should also have enough space in the toe box for your toes to wiggle around. Finally, look for a pair that is comfortable and that would be fine to wear for long periods of time. If you have heel or general foot pain that will not go away, see a podiatrist for a diagnosis and proper treatment.
Many people suffer from bouts of heel pain. For more information, contact Dr. Stanley R. Kalish of Atlanta Foot and Leg Clinic. Our doctor can provide the care you need to keep you pain-free and on your feet.
Causes of Heel Pain
Heel pain is often associated with plantar fasciitis. The plantar fascia is a band of tissues that extends along the bottom of the foot. A rip or tear in this ligament can cause inflammation of the tissue.
Achilles tendonitis is another cause of heel pain. Inflammation of the Achilles tendon will cause pain from fractures and muscle tearing. Lack of flexibility is also another symptom.
Heel spurs are another cause of pain. When the tissues of the plantar fascia undergo a great deal of stress, it can lead to ligament separation from the heel bone, causing heel spurs.
Why Might Heel Pain Occur?
Heel pain should be treated as soon as possible for immediate results. Keeping your feet in a stress-free environment will help. If you suffer from Achilles tendonitis or plantar fasciitis, applying ice will reduce the swelling. Stretching before an exercise like running will help the muscles. Using all these tips will help make heel pain a condition of the past.

Flip-flops are extremely popular during the summer thanks to their ability to allow the feet to breathe and their ease-of-wear. Yet there are some problems with them. Flip-flops do not provide proper foot support, decrease foot protection, and increase the risk of fungal and bacterial infections. This doesn't mean you shouldn't wear flip-flops; knowing when to wear them and what to look for when buying a pair is most important. When shopping for flip-flops, look for a pair that won't bend easily and that are made of soft leather. These two features will ensure that they will provide comfort while ensuring foot protection from debris on the ground. Wearing flip-flops to the beach or pool is acceptable, but avoid wearing flip-flops for long periods of time or in unsuitable environments.
Flip-flops are not always the best choice of footwear. If you have any concerns about your feet or ankles, contact Dr. Stanley R. Kalish from Atlanta Foot and Leg Clinic. Our doctor will assist you with all of your foot and ankle needs.
Flip-Flops and Feet
When the weather starts warming up, people enjoy wearing flip-flops. Flip-flops are comfortable, stylish, and easy to slip on and off; they're perfect for any summer beach goer. However, these shoes can cause harm to the feet.
How Can Flip-Flops Affect Me Long-Term?
Are there injuries associated with flip-flops?
Yes. Since flip-flops are relatively weak and do not provide the same amount of support as sneakers, people who wear flip-flops regularly are more susceptible to injuries. On top of that, the open nature of the shoe makes your feet more prone to other problems, such as cuts and even infections. Common injuries and ailments include:
I like wearing flip-flops, are there safe alternatives?
When buying flip-flops, try to find ones that have sturdy soles and that are made of high quality materials that will support for your feet. These flip-flops will cost more, but will also last longer as a result.

Choosing the right type of footwear for women can be difficult. High heels can exacerbate a number of foot-related issues such as bunions, plantar fasciitis, and ingrown toenails. Flats, on the other hand, don't provide enough support for the foot. Knowing what to look for in a shoe can save you from a number of foot problems. Throughout the day, your feet tend to increase in size; with this in mind, it is recommended to buy shoes later in the day when the feet are largest. If a pair of shoes you want don't offer arch support, try orthotic inserts to make them more comfortable and appropriate for your feet. Knowing what shoes to wear for specific occasions is important. Athletic shoes generally provide great comfort and support and are a good choice for everyday activities. When wearing high heels or flats, try not to wear them for more than two hours. Finally, make sure that the shoes you purchase aren't too pointy for the toes. Shoes that allow the toes to wiggle around are recommended.
Getting the right shoe size is an important part of proper foot health. Seek the assistance of Dr. Stanley R. Kalish from Atlanta Foot and Leg Clinic. Our doctor will provide the care you need to keep you pain-free and on your feet.
Getting the Right Shoe Size
There are many people who wear shoes that are the incorrect size, negatively affecting their feet and posture. Selecting the right shoes is not a difficult process, so long as you keep several things in mind when it comes to choosing the right pair.
As our feet hold our body weight and keep us moving, it is important to treat them right. Picking the right pair of shoes can provide your feet comfort and mobility without pain.

Many people will develop either a corn or callus on their foot at some point in their lives; but what are they? Corns and calluses are areas where the skin has thickened due to constant friction on the area. Corns are smaller and harder than calluses and usually develop on the toes. Calluses, meanwhile, are not usually painful compared to corns and usually occur on the bottom of the foot. Typically, either will go away if the source of friction is taken away. There are some at-home treatments that may help; however, you should consult a podiatrist first to see if they will be effective and appropriate for you. Soaking your feet can soften corns and calluses, as can moisturizers. Over-the-counter pads can help remove both but require caution in their use, as some pads contain salicylic acid—which should be avoided. Finally, one of the most important ways to prevent corns and calluses is to wear fitted and comfortable shoes that prevent friction against the area.
If you have any concerns regarding your feet and ankles, contact Dr. Stanley R. Kalish of Atlanta Foot and Leg Clinic. Our doctor will treat your foot and ankle needs.
Corns: What are they? And how do you get rid of them?
Corns can be described as areas of the skin that have thickened to the point of becoming painful or irritating. They are often layers and layers of the skin that have become dry and rough, and are normally smaller than calluses.
Ways to Prevent Corns
There are many ways to get rid of painful corns such as wearing:
Treating Corns
Treatment of corns involves removing the dead skin that has built up in the specific area of the foot. Consult with Our doctor to determine the best treatment option for your case of corns.

Two previews of Terminal Reality's upcoming racing game 4x4 Evolution have been posted recently. Eurogamer's coverage of the offroad racing game is very good, as usual. They cover many aspects of 4x4 Evo, including this excerpt about the camera controls:
The proceedings can be viewed from various camera angles, and I often found myself adopting the view of in-front and above, unusable in driving terms, just to peer down on my Land Cruiser and admire its intricate replication. If you don't want to waste valuable race time, it is often fun to throw your vehicle around, over barriers and into the air off of ramps, and then admire yourself in your own time with the Replay mode at the end of the race.
Terminal Reality has promised a Mac version of 4x4 Evolution will be released around the same time as the PC version. We will be sure to take a look at the game at Macworld New York and bring you details on when we might expect to see this one on shelves.

Ernie Penrose (29) is an ice-cream salesman from Newbridge. He says that one of the reasons that he hasn't yet found love is the showbiz nature of his job, which makes all girls – of all ages - fall for him.
"I only have to park up the van and queues of people form up and there are always girls there. I jes' kent choose between all they maids!" He is hoping that this quiet advert - away from the showbiz razzamatazz that goes with ice cream sales - will allow girls to see him as he really is.
" I duh look jes' like Richard Armitage and that should pull'em in", he says.
Ernie can be reached on Newbridge 4721.
Avril Kernaverell (32) formerly Sister Tregavarah of the Nancledra branch of the Methodist Fundamentalists Nunnery Co-operative has left her closed order and is now working in Penzance as a parking attendant – with a twist.
The owners of offending cars are cursed and the bodywork is sprayed with strong sulphuric acid, whilst those properly parked are blessed with holy water from Madron well and the windscreens receive a very large gold star painted in indelible ink.
Avril has yet to develop many normal interests, but she is keen to meet any man, who would share her passion for Arthur Scargill's socialist poetry, in particular his magnum opus, 'Let us recount the 3,963 ways towards socialist realism'.
Avril can be reached on Nancledra 4526.
Tedney Prank (34) is a car mechanic from Goldsithney, who likes to describe himself as a 'sporty kind of guy'. He has been out with a girl once before, one Kylie Penrose on 7th June 1991. Things didn't work out well that evening.
However, Kylie dropped all proceedings and Tedney threw himself into sport.
After years of hard training, he is now the undisputed Penwith and Kerrier equestrian table tennis champion as well as being ranked sixth in the all-Cornwall toe-wrestling championship. Tedney collects sweet wrappers and ice lolly sticks and has some that date back to when he was just five, when he started his collection.
Tedney wants to found a Prank dynasty and he is now looking for a young lady ("though definitely NOT one called Kylie!") with whom he can build his future
Tedney can be reached on Goldsithney 5922
Edna Poldavock (24) is an artist living at Gurnards Head. She is passionate about all forms of art and seeks "to push out the boundaries" and has enjoyed mixed success in so doing.
Her Sandung sculptures (fashioned from a mixture of dung and sand) were a brave, but forlorn, attempt to add the sense of smell to the more usual exploration of sight and texture in artistic appreciation. However, her solo nude dance interpretations of Tchaikovsky were an absolute sell-out.
She would not like to meet a young and artistically inclined man to help her explore the possibilities of artistic expression.
Edna can be contacted on Gurnards Head 3385.
Brenda Pollock (26) from Tregeseal is a lead stylist at the famed Shelley's hair and Beauty in St Just.
Brenda is a 'work hard play hard' girl.
Her idols are Gene Pitney, Roy Orbison and Frankie Avalon and ideally she would like children from them all.
Her favourite TV programmes are Dr Finlay's Casebook, The Morecambe and Wise Show and Secombe and Friends.
Brenda would love to meet a real man ("likes his beer and does his own roll-ups!") with whom she can share a 'Carry-on' kind of life.
Brenda can be reached on Tregeseal 4593 ("but you'll have to talk to my dad before you get me!")
'Billy' does not give his age. He lives in a field, but can be very friendly if he is with the right sort of man.
He gets on well with most, but does not like it if people refer to him as a 'goat'. Billy is interested in different types of grass and closely follows the weather. He absolutely HATES dogs.
He would like to explore his 'inner self' and would like to meet like-minded men. Billy is not on the 'phone but can be found in Pedn Diag field at Tremethick.
