What can you do with patients that have a facial deformity?The results which can be achieved through facial reconstruction surgery depend on the type of deformity the patient suffers from.
Facial trauma patients can suffer from a number of different conditions. Some of them may not have bone injuries but several cuts which have left a disfiguring appearance due to several scars. These patients may suffer from lack of skin, disfigured upper eyelids, disfigured brows, or disfigured noses and faces due to scars, deformities and displacements. The scars in each of the above conditions are addressed by plastic surgeons, separately. In order to remove the scars, most surgeons perform either a local reconstruction surgery or a skin graft. A skin graft usually involves the removal of a disfigured scar and replacing it with smoother looking skin to achieve a much better contour and texture for the affected area.
Even though some patients, as mentioned earlier, may not suffer from facial bone injuries, some do. Most of these types of facial bone injuries are caused either due to severe car accidents, getting punched or being subjected to a nasty fall. When a patient faces such a situation, he or she may suffer from bone deformity.
Patients who have fractures or broken bones in the face initially receive treatment in the hospital. Following that initial treatment, a plastic surgeon's expertise can be sought thereafter. As a first step, a plastic surgeon performs plate reductions of the broken bones in order to fix them. However, in spite of the treatment to fix the broken bones, many patients may suffer from conditions like disfigured cheekbones, crooked noses, deformed chins and/or deformed foreheads.
Secondary Reconstruction
Falling into the reconstructive facial surgery category, secondary reconstruction surgeries involve treatments which include the placement of implants (in the cheek to camouflage a depressed portion or fractures), fat induction and/or bone repositioning. As a result of these procedures, an improved facial appearance is achieved.

Dr. Kwan is by far the most talented surgeon I have EVER crossed paths with. I came to Dr. Kwan after an under eye fat transplant, performed 'by another' plastic surgeon, which deformed my face. It was only until I was under Dr.Kwan's care that the deformity was corrected. Dr. Kwan literally gave me back my beauty. This was a priceless feeling. That was about 4 years ago, I can assure you ever since- Dr. Kwan is the ONLY plastic surgeon I trust my face and body to. I look forward to my body contouring procedure coming up in a few weeks!! :)

The staff treated me very kindly, with respect and genuine smiles. Dr Kwan is a real professional in my opinion. He took the time to listen to my story, addressed my concerns and took his time to walk me through the process and give me his opinion and explanation on his recommendation. I had my surgery in his practice and we went over everything again before I met up with the anesthesiologist, who was equally as nice and professional as everyone else at his practice. We started counting bikes ... and after bike #6 I fell a sleep. When I woke up, he was there to tell me I did great and before I knew it I was in a taxi cab back home with my best friend who came to pick me up. So I don't know if this is typical, but I had no pain whatsoever after the surgery. . I am very very happy with the results. Dr Kwan did an amazing job and I couldn't be more pleased.

I was involved in an automobile accident last May, 2013. The outcome from the emergency room left me with 5 stitches on the bridge of my nose, and the tip of my nose was missing due to the severe impact of the accident. I called and scheduled an appointment to visit Dr. Kwan so he could assess my nose. Upon arriving to the office, I was immediately impressed with the facility, service, and professionalism of his staff. Dr. Kwan met with me and examined my nose and in detail, he explained the approach he would take in order to get my nose like brand new again.On the day of my surgery, I was met by Dr Kwan, who performed the surgery, himself. His Anesthesiologist was very informative and professional as well. The outcome of Phase 1 was a success. In addition to that, the staff even called my medication into the pharmacy that way it would be ready as soon as I left the office. My nose is 98% back to normal, I now look forward to Phase 2 to be completed. After that procedure is done I am positive my nose will look absolutely perfect and I will be back to my confident self again. Thanks Dr Kwan and Staff.

I have had several surgeries with Dr Kwan, and would recommend him highly. Liposuction of abdomen and love handles came out smooth. Upper eyelids look younger and refreshed, and the Basal Cell Cancer he cut out of my nose is not even visible, despite the fact that it was right along the rim of my left nostril.

I have been using Dr Kwan for over 10 years now. I have had many different procedures and all of them have turned out great. One of the breast augmentations had a crimp in the left breast and he had no problem going in to revise it to assure my satisfaction. I have always liked the way he answers each of my concerns and we go over everything for each procedure I've done several times to assure we are on the same page :) Take a list of any questions or concerns and I guarantee you will love your results no matter what procedure he is doing for you! .

You can return your holster to Crossbreed and they will do a combat cut for you. Read the Web site...
This is a discussion on Homemade "combat cut" for the CrossBreed SuperTuck? (Ever done it?) within the Defensive Carry Holsters & Carry Options forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Just got my CrossBreed SuperTuck shorty with the horsehide in the mail today for my M&P 40c. I love it, it really distributes the weight ...
Just got my CrossBreed SuperTuck shorty with the horsehide in the mail today for my M&P 40c. I love it, it really distributes the weight of the firearm nicely it is SUPER comfortable. My only complaint is the horsehide backing is right in the way when drawing the firearm! Now I guess I could train myself to draw my gun differently with my thumb along the back of the gun, but I don't like the idea of that because chances are I won't think of that in a time of stress and I already trained myself to draw with a positive handle on the grip.
So I guess I should've got the combat cut. So at this point I don't want to deal with exchanging and waiting for a new/modified holster when I'm pretty sure I could just go ahead and cut the horsehide myself. Have any of you ever modified your SuperTuck to be a "combat cut"? If possible could you post some pictures so I have an idea of where I should cut. I guess I could look on the CrossBreed website for reference pics but just curious as to what the homemade combat cut looks like.
Thanks everybody God bless

Just close your eyes, cut, and pray.
Or as sculptors say, just imagine where your hand needs to be and cut away everything else.

Just cut away the leather under the grip, go a little at a time until it suits you. You will do ok?
I did a combat cut on my Kholster the first day I got it. I traced the outline of the pistol with a pencil then took out the trusty Buck. It only took about 5 minutes. It is for a Glock 23
I wore mine for about a week and doing so showed the contact points (magazine release, etc). I then took a pencil and traced my own combat cut making sure to leave the contact points in tact. Cut with an xacto knife, like a hot knife through butter.
I did one on mine, I put my gun in the holster, got a full grip on it and traced on the back where it no longer touches my hand.
I then used an exacto knife and cut the leather off.
I refinished the edge by rounding off the edge a little with the exacto.
From there I got the edge a little damp and rubbed a pencil over the edge to burnish it. There's tons of videos on youtube about burnishing leather edges.
Your number one Option for Personal Security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation. - Rule #23 in the USMC rules for gunfighting.
To be quite frank I was feeling the same way when I got mine it is for an XD 5" also in horsehide.
After a break in period the very top of the sweat guard actually lightly curves over the rear of the slide.
When I draw I am able to obtain a full grip with my all my fingers, my thumb is actually located behind the leather sweat guard,
high on the slide as if I would need to sweep off a safety that is not there
(everything I carried for many years had one and I still instinctively go through the motion).
I still obtain a full controlled grip and do not notice it anymore.
I wear mine at the 4:00 to 4:30 position and am thin.
I no longer think about doing a combat cut and am glad I did not.
You may wish to give it some time and practice with it before a modification is in order,
after all you can remove the leather at any time and after it is broke in you will have a better idea of where and how much to take off,
secondly I believe it would be a lot harder to put the leather back on than it was to take it off.
Obviously just my opinion and two cents

okay, i'm wondering if someone here can help me out. i'm not quite sure if this is the right place/right way to ask, but i figured i'd give it a go. here's my issue:
i have a custom lockscreen, which i modded myself, which looks like this:
when my phone is charging, my lockscreen looks like this:
the charging theme comes from the Allure UI, and i like it a lot. BUT. i'm wondering if i can make it look like the torn image in my regular lockscreen, but with the battery behind it.
i have the .psd template to place over the battery image, or to overlay the charging lockscreen... or however it might be done.
i'm not sure if what i'm asking is even possible, but if it is, could someone tell me how? please?
i'm not quite a newb: i can ssh into my phone no problem, but i have limited skills when it comes to any kind of coding or photoshop. that said, if you're offering a suggestion, please speak slowly and in small words as if talking to someone who may or may not be retarded.
thanks in advance!

Sanborn has added studios; created and marketed its first TV action drama, and -- on Tuesday -- hosted 60 entertainment industry insiders eager to learn about Florida's new moviemaking scene.
The combination of juiced-up Florida film production credits and the launch of Sanborn Studios is breathing life into Southwest Florida's nascent filmmaking industry.
Talk of production companies moving to the region and jet-setters holding meetings here dominated Sanborn's first get-together for industry executives.
Launched just five months ago, Sanborn has been aggressive on a variety of fronts: transforming a warehouse into well-equipped studio space; creating and marketing its first TV action drama, and -- on Tuesday -- hosting 60 entertainment industry insiders eager to learn about Florida's new moviemaking scene.
The buzz around the event had the usual no-names caveats, but was nonetheless tangible:
• A Hollywood producer who works closely with a major film celebrity is weary of the expense and delays he and his talent have been encountering in Hollywood. Intrigued by the Sanborn invitation, the producer joined the daylong seminar and tour, showing up with a producer buddy. They both exchanged business cards and preliminary information with Sanborn's latest hire, former Paramount Studios financing czar Alan Bailey.
• A producer who has a pilot for a Discovery Channel series would base the show in Sarasota if he sells it.
• A Canadian TV content producer who is tiring of Ottawa winters sees the advent of Sanborn in the region as a gift to be exploited.
The two Hollywood producers slipped in and out of the day's activity roster under the radar, but were sure to make contact with Bailey, who spent 35 years at Paramount in Los Angeles involved in the financing of scores of films costing hundreds of millions of dollars.
Those California producers he had contact with, it turned out, have both been "kicking the tires" about producing films in Florida since the state launched its much more aggressive production tax credits last summer.
"One celeb has a production company, and he is running into cost and production problems in Los Angeles," Bailey said. "It could land in our laps."
Bailey said he will spend roughly half his time in Southwest Florida, and the other half operating from Sanborn's satellite office in Los Angeles and "knocking on doors."
His immediate mission: to call the two Hollywood producers and arrange follow-up meetings in California.
They were not the first A-listers to visit the region in recent days.
Although tangential to the Sanborn buzz, Ron Howard and Steven Spielberg breezed through in the middle of last week to meet with Casey Key resident and horror-fiction kingpin Stephen King, the Herald-Tribune has confirmed.
Howard and King have a deal to turn the author's "The Dark Tower" novel into a movie and possibly a TV series, which could explain Spielberg's interest.
His Dreamworks studio is said to be looking hard for a hit TV show to build vitality for that wing of the enterprise.
In the future, producers like Spielberg and Howard could be using a new state-of-the-art production operation to be built on the campus of the Ringling College of Art and Design. The operation could be used to create computer-generated imagery -- or CGI -- that has become an integral part of the Hollywood entertainment mix.
While the talk about Hollywood knocking on Southwest Florida's door is glamorous, building steady revenue from smaller productions and from commercial work would add to the region's critical mass in this growing field.
At Tuesday's event, Studio founder Ken Sanborn ticked off a number of smaller-scale bread-and-butter projects that his organization has been able to line up for the months ahead, including a commercial shoot for Steinmart in early February, and a bigger project he said he could not offer specifics about that would require 10 weeks of shooting, three days a week.
"I think that was part of the problem in Sarasota," Sanborn said after the studio's bus tour unloaded at the Holiday Inn-Lakewood Ranch to swap business cards and war stories over cocktails. "Everybody just kept talking about building a studio. At some point you've got to put the rubber to the road and do something."
While producing its own shows will remain Sanborn's core business, its secondary mission is building a viable environment in the region for much more TV and film work.
"It doesn't matter how good the tax credits are if you don't have the infrastructure and the people to get the jobs done," Sanborn said. "They all need a place to work. They all need crews and they all need infrastructure."
A former TV news broadcaster, Cathy Squires has operated in Canada as Royal York Films since 1989. Lately, she has been spending more and more time at a home she owns in Venice.
For her, Sanborn opening its doors in Southwest Florida "is a fabulous fit," Squires said over lunch on Tuesday."
Canada's dollar, after years of relative weakness, is now worth more than the U.S. dollar. That means that her Canadian investors may get more for their money here than by keeping the project north of the border.
"If it turns out that I can bring a project down here and spend Canadian dollars here, that would be great," she said.
Unveiled in September, Sanborn Studios says it has already generated enough foreign sales of its first TV show -- an action drama called "Miami 24-7" -- to ensure production of the first 13 episodes this summer.
Sanborn, Bailey and studio president Karinne Behr will all head to Miami next week to pitch the show at a convention of TV executives, the NATPE Conference & Exhibition.
The convention draws roughly 8,000 media executives from 76 countries.
All the major U.S. networks will be there to buy content.

Final Irene-Damaged Road in New York is Fixed
Six months after a pair of tropical storms slammed New York State, the last road closed by the storms has been reopened.
Route 42 in Greene County, in the Catskill Mountains, is now open to traffic.
Some 400 road segments and bridges were washed away during the storms, which came after the wettest August on record.
Despite repeated requests, the state has not said how much the repairs costs, nor issued a list of the roads that have been fixed.
Last year witnessed the most costly severe weather events on record, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
The federal government says more extreme weather events are an inevitable result of climate change, even if greenhouse gas emissions are curtailed.

Are Trane heat pumps and Am Std exactly the same?
I've been told that some Trane dealers are now switching to American Standard heat pumps due to continuing price increases that are making Trane not price competitive in certain areas. They are also being told and therefore telling new customers that American Std heat pumps are exactly the same as Trane, made in the same plants and have the same performance specs. Frankly, I wasn't even aware that American Standard made heat pumps but with all the changes in brand names and ownership over the last several years, it may be true for all I know. Can anyone validate these statements?
As far as I know, both are the same.

The "sponge" is made from cow collagen, the same material as ligaments, and impregnated with genes that promote bone growth. It can be implanted into the fracture to encourage recovery. Tests on dogs have been encouraging, say scientists at the biotechnology company Selective Genetics in San Diego, California.
If the technique can be extended to humans it would have an immediate application in the elderly, where hip fractures often leave otherwise healthy people immobile.
The American tests, reported today in the journal Nature Medicine, involved a "gene activated matrix" (GAM) containing mobile loops of DNA called plasmids. These contained a gene that leads to the promotion of bone growth.
The team inserted the gene-carrying sponge into the broken bones of three dogs and measured the bone density by X-ray. Fractures usually take six weeks to heal. In the experiments, by two to six weeks after implantation there was an increase in new bone formation at the fracture site compared to fractures without the GAM.
The technique overcomes many of the stumbling blocks associated with gene therapy. In theory, adding extra genes could compensate for flaws in an individual's DNA or - as in this case - provide a boost for processes already under way. But repeated problems include getting them to work only where and when needed.
The plasmid method shows promise because the additional genes are restricted to the site where they are needed.

TY - JOUR T1 - Superhydrophilic TiO2 surface without photocatalytic activation JF - Applied Physics Letter Y1 - 2010 A1 - Vasileia Zormpa A1 - Xiaobo Chen A1 - Samuel S. Mao AB -
Since the discovery of extreme surface wetting phenomenon induced by ultraviolet photocatalysis, TiO2 has become the material of choice for environmental friendly applications such as self-cleaning coatings. Nevertheless, it remains a significant challenge to realize surfaces exhibiting persistent superhydrophilicity but without the need of external stimuli. We report a bioinspired TiO2 nanostructure that shows extreme superhydrophilicity without the need of light activation, and with stability against successive wetting-dewetting cycles. This ultimate TiO2 wetting surface exhibits high transmittance from near ultraviolet to the infrared, thus enabling practical antifogging technologies where transparency is critical.VL - 96 UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3291667 IS - 9 JO - Appl.

Judicial Engagement
What is the proper role of judges? –
A Discussion of Practical Constitutional Jurisprudence
Clark Neily, Esq.
Senior Attorney at the Institute for Justice
The Constitution limits the proper scope and means of government action, but constitutional limits on government power are meaningless if judges will not enforce them. "Judicial engagement" is the proper role of the judiciary in acknowledging our rights as defined under the U.S. Constitution and state constitutions. Applying judicial engagement includes rejecting simple rational basis review acknowledges the role of judges in recognizing and enforcing constitutional limits on the power of government. The U.S. Constitution trumps precedent and does not merely mean what a judge or panel of judges says it means/meant. Rather, it guarantees a broad array of individual rights and of limits on governmental power. For these and other reasons, judges must carefully consider real-world facts and genuine rather than hypothetical or philosophical justifications for upholding or striking down governmental regulations and justly applying civil and criminal laws.

Chicago Federalist Society
The Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies is a group of conservatives and libertarians interested in the current state of the legal order. It is founded on the principles that the state exists to preserve freedom, that the separation of governmental powers is central to our Constitution, and that it is emphatically the province and duty of the judiciary to say what the law is, not what it should be. The Society seeks both to promote an awareness of these principles and to further their application through its activities. This entails reordering priorities within the legal system to place a premium on individual liberty, traditional values, and the rule of law. It also requires restoring the recognition of the importance of these norms among lawyers, judges, law students and professors. In working to achieve these goals, the Society has created a conservative and libertarian intellectual network that extends to all levels of the legal community. The Society takes no set position on legal issues, but promotes debate on a variety of historical, current, and developing topics - confident that the truth will out, and it will triumph if men and women of integrity act in accordance therewith.

long-brewing dispute from another Washington city that started nine years ago is playing out in Tacoma most weekdays, as union picketers in front of Tacoma City Grocer on Pacific Avenue have become a familiar sight to the many people who live, work or shop in downtown. The two sides in the feud have different views on what impact the picketing has on the bottom line of the business.
The store opened last September in Pacific Plaza in the former location of the South Park parking garage owned by the city of Tacoma. The city and developers formed a partnership to renovate the aging structure, adding office space to the upper floors and new retail space at street level.
Downtown had lacked a grocery store for many years. As new apartment and condominium projects boosted the number of people living downtown, demand for a conveniently located grocery increased. The developers filled this niche by reaching an agreement with The Myers Group of Whidbey Island and its president, Tyler Myers, to open a grocery store in the building. Myers operates several stores affiliated with Independent Grocers Alliance (IGA).
The day before the store opened, United Food and Commercial Workers Local 367 sent pickets to the sidewalk in front of the store. They have carried signs and walked past banners urging people not to shop at the non-union store ever since.
The dispute between the company and the union goes back to 2003, when employees of an IGA store in Ocean Shores owned by Myers tried to join UWCF 367. Kat Overman, communications director for the union, said workers signed cards to unionize. She said Myers dragged the situation out and walked away from discussions with the union. "He did not want to come to the negotiating table."
The store remains un-unionized.
Tacoma City Grocer Store Director Charlie McKissick has worked with the company for 15 years. He said the union had pickets at the Ocean Shores store for nine months. "They did not get what they wanted and walked away," he remarked.
Overman said the National Labor Relations Board issued a ruling that Myers had to talk to union representatives. She said he stalled the bargaining process and a contract was never achieved. "He dragged things along, and he ran out the clock," she commented.
McKissick said workers at Tacoma City Grocer receive wages and benefits that are better than their union counterparts.
He said no one from the union contacted him prior to the opening of this store, although they might have contacted the owner.
The union pickets are generally on the sidewalk in front of the store in the mornings and afternoons Monday through Friday. McKissick said some customers have asked employees why picketers are outside, but that has decreased. "They do not ask about it much anymore," he said. "They seem surprised that they are still out there."
McKissick said the picketing is not hurting business. The store gets a steady stream of customers on weekdays, as workers in the many nearby office buildings stop in for items for lunch. He said the store is experiencing slow and steady growth and business is picking up on evenings and weekends.
The picketing does not seem to concern McKissick. "I couldn't care less," he said. "If anything, they draw attention to the fact that we are here. Business is growing."
Overman said she was unable to provide information on how much the picketers are paid. She said they work for the union, most being hired from an outside source. She said the source is not Labor Ready. Some of them are union members who have been laid off from other stores. Other picketers volunteer their time, she added.
According to Overman, the picketing is affecting the store. "Sales have not reached what the owner hoped they would be," she said. "They are not getting customers like they thought they would."
Overman said the union has concerns about the public/private partnership between the city and the developers. She said the public was unaware of key details until it was basically a done deal and residents had little input. "This whole thing was done behind closed doors," she declared. Overman said the union has worked for more than a year to craft a resolution for Tacoma City Council that would open up the process of such arrangements.
Overman said workers at unionized grocery stores make good wages and benefits. "We want people working at IGA to have that," she said. "As long as we can send that message downtown, we will."
Andrew Bacon, co-producer of Equal Time Radio on KLAY 1180 AM and outspoken liberal, does not shop at Tacoma City Grocer, but that is more because it is not in his Tacoma neighborhood than the fact that it is non-union. He would like it to be a union shop just on principle, but said that having a grocery store downtown, even a non-union one, is better than not having one at all.
"Sure, I support an effort to unionize it," he said. "But the fact that there is a grocery store there at all is important too. Grocery stores revitalize a neighborhood to some extent, and there are a lot of things at Tollefson Plaza that wouldn't otherwise happen."
Generally speaking, union shops pay better wages and have better benefits than non-union workplaces since the organized workers have some strength to affect their working conditions, he said. But non-union businesses certainly provide living wages for their workers as well. What bothers Bacon is the rise of the corporate mentality of providing low wages and no benefits so that profits are shipped outside of the community.
"I am much more pissed off with Walmart than IGA in that respect," he said. "Walmart is certainly the worst actor in the room. IGA is just a smaller symptom of that."
Mayor Marilyn Strickland, who lives downtown, feels Tacoma City Grocery and the renovated structure it is in have helped beautify the urban core. She said downtown residents appreciate having a nearby grocery store.
She noted downtown went decades without a grocery store. When the developers looked for one, they approached Safeway and all the other big chains. "None of them wanted to be there," she said. "They did not get any takers."
Regarding the union's view that the process was not transparent, Strickland said it was well known the developer was looking for a grocery store tenant, with considerable media coverage.
She feels it is unfortunate the union has pickets in front of the business. "As a community, we should want all of our establishments to succeed."
Strickland added the protest might even be boosting sales. "The pickets may inadvertently draw attention to the store."

Lieberman Software Announces New EMEA Offices and Partners to Accommodate Growing Demand
(LOS ANGELES, CA – April 23, 2014) Lieberman Software Corporation today announced significant expansion into the European market. The company is recruiting new strategic partners in the EMEA region due to the increasing number of enterprises striving to close data security holes, meet regulatory compliance mandates and reduce cyber security risk through privileged identity management software.
As part of its expansion, Lieberman Software recently established regional offices in the UK, Netherlands and Germany. The company has already developed new partnerships this year with leading distributors and value-added resellers including Exclusive Networks, IT2Trust, Consist Software, Web Control and ZeroDayLab.
Calum MacLeod, VP of EMEA at Lieberman Software, said: "The nature of attacks against IT infrastructures is evolving at an alarming rate. Conventional security products are, in many cases, no longer effective against the sophisticated, state-sponsored attacks that both government and private sector industries are experiencing. At Lieberman Software we are helping large enterprises protect their powerful privileged accounts against unauthorized and anonymous access. As part of our expansion in EMEA we are taking on new partners to assist with the need from enterprises to secure their privileged identities against advanced cyber attacks."
About RED Identity Management
According to Verizon's 2013 Data Breach Investigations Report, 76% of network intrusions are caused by exploited weak or stolen credentials.1 Lieberman Software's Enterprise Random Password Manager (ERPM) helps mitigate this risk by allowing organizations to ensure that powerful privileged accounts are only available to authorized users on an as-required, "need-to-know" basis. ERPM increases both operational efficiency and overall IT security posture by managing privileged user and service accounts, preventing unauthorized users and programs from accessing systems with critical data.
ERPM continues to earn global recognition and was recently named the "Innovation Leader" and the market share leader in the USA, according to the KuppingerCole Leadership Compass on Privilege Management. ERPM also won the 2013 Security Product of the Year Award from TechWorld.
Paul Brereton, Technical Director of ZeroDayLab, said: "With Lieberman Software our customers benefit from technology that automates the privileged identity management lifecycle throughout the cross-platform enterprise. This is crucial for large and dynamic environments that are particularly susceptible to cyber-attacks. Lieberman Software is the only privileged identity management vendor that provides end-to-end automation, as well as continuous discovery of privileged accounts."

Register for our weekly Patient Education Classes...
The knee is the largest joint in the body, made up of the lower end of the thigh bone (femur), which rotates on the upper end of the shin bone (tibia), and the knee cap (patella), which slides in a groove on the end of the femur.
Large ligaments attach to the femur and tibia to provide stability. The long thigh muscles give the knee strength.
The joint surfaces where these three bones touch are covered with articular cartilage, a smooth substance that cushions the bones and enables them to move easily. All remaining surfaces of the knee are covered by a thin, smooth tissue liner called the synovial membrane. This membrane releases a special fluid that lubricates the knee, reducing friction to nearly zero in a healthy knee.
Disease or injury can disrupt this free-flowing movement resulting in pain, muscle weakness, and restricted function. If the knee is severely damaged by arthritis or injury, it may be difficult to perform simple activities such as walking or climbing stairs.
Knee pain due to arthritis or injury can make normal everyday activities painful and difficult.
Medications, and/or changes to everyday activities, or the use of walking aids such as a cane may be helpful.
If these measures are ineffective in relieving your pain, ask your doctor about knee replacement surgery, or call the Connecticut Joint Replacement Institute at 1-866-501-CJRI (2574)
Knee replacement surgery can relieve knee pain, increase motion, and help restore the enjoyment of your favorite everyday activities.
Total knee, hip, and shoulder replacement surgery, as well as other surgical and non-surgical treatment for rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis of the joints.

Get your fill of Nordic films at Nordic Lights Film Festival
If you ever wanted to indulge in Nordic film, you'll have your chance this month.
From Jan. 18 to 19, at the SIFF Film Center in Seattle Center, more than a dozen films from all five Nordic countries will be screened as part of the Nordic Lights festival, an annual event organized by the Nordic Heritage Museum. 2013 marks the fourth year this has been done.
It all begins on Friday, when the event opens with a reception at SIFF at 6 p.m., and follows up with a feature at 7 p.m. "Beyond," the opening film, is directed by Pernilla August and stars Noomie Rapace of Girl with the Dragon Tattoo fame. It's a Sweden-set drama that revolves around a young woman's experiences growing up in a home of abuse and alcoholism.
But if drama isn't your taste, you might find solace in the family-friendly animated feature, "Moomin and Midsummer Madness," which opens up the festival at 10 a.m. on both Saturday and Sunday. (Moomins are supposed to be trolls, but they look more like pearl-colored hippos.)
And of course there's more, including a documentary about actress Liv Ullman and filmmaker Ingmar Bergman; a drama called, simply, Volcano; a documentary about 70-something Sigridur Nielsdottir, who creates eccentric music in her Icelandic home; the Finnish war-time drama, Silence; a documentary about Finland's unique education system -- and so on and so on.
A full lineup can be found at the Nordic Lights Film Festival page on the SIFF website at http://www.siff.net/cinema/seriesDetail.aspx?FID=325.
Admission is $8 for Nordic Heritage Museum Members and SIFF Members; $10 for the general public, and $7 for the 10:00 a.m. screenings on Saturday and Sunday. Nordic Lights Film Festival passes are available for $50 for members and $55 for the general public. All ticketing will be through SIFF.
SIFF Cinema Center is located in Seattle Center's Northwest rooms (formerly the Alki Room), between Key Arena and the Seattle Repertory Theatre. For more information about the Nordic Lights Film Festival, visit www.nordicmuseum.org.
