Together with the alterations in household law over the past 3 decades, such as the adoption of equitable circulation in place of the outdated common-law formula, the use of rules protecting military spouses, as well as the adoption of support directions and different regional procedures promulgated in the various circuits, the area of breakup has become too complicated and specialized for anyone who will not frequently handle these kind of cases. It distresses all of us whenever consumers arrive at you with badly written separation agreements, and/or decrees which more inexperienced attorneys have taken care of. Merely as it is safer to win at demo rather than need a good appeal problem, it really is a lot better to have the best attorney, a person who are certain to get it appropriate the 1st time, rather than need to pay people to correct issues stemming from errors produced in the initial location. Often the errors are very costly and cannot end up being repaired as revealed into the group of anything I actually typed when it comes down to parents rules Information, a peer evaluation book from the Virginia State pub, portion of household laws, called "Costly mistakes in Multi-State Military divorce proceedings; Or a Military spouse's Tale of Woe," which have been posted into the trip 2007 and Spring 2008 problem from the publication.
The group of reports outlines the legal government, strategy and procedural information we used to successfully guard a retiree that is military who was a veteran for the Vietnam conflict. Their ex-wife was actually attempting to get half of their armed forces pay that is retired spousal help here in Virginia, despite having separated your six many years before in Hawaii. Although we are often thrilled to attain a fruitful end result in regards to our consumers, our cleaners experienced sorry for any ex-wife, that has obtained bad legal counsel from hour attorney within the original divorce actions in Hawaii, advice that create poor choices that the Virginia Court located to join her permanently. In governing in the divorce for us in the case, the judge told the ex-wife that instead of suing her ex-husband, show should go after the attorney in Hawaii who represented her.
Thus, how will you begin finding a divorce lawyer that is good? Listed below are a suggestions that are few
Recommendation #1-Ask a legal professional
For a referral to a good divorce lawyer if you know a lawyer, ask him/her. He or she will likely know someone or a few someones just who dedicate a significant portion of the rehearse of legislation to separation and divorce and relevant problem. For instance, I have been dealing with separation and divorce for 3 decades and also an excellent reputation among the list of local appropriate community. Any separation and divorce attorney worth his/her salt needs to have set up a reputation among other lawyers. Lawyers generally discover who is good-for a particular sorts of circumstances; they certainly learn whom they would see, if they comprise facing split and breakup.
Advice #2-Yellow Pages/Internet
Whilst not a great way to obtain ideas, the Yellow Pages and web may be a beginning way to obtain attorney brands. Lawyers who do perhaps not mention divorce, breakup, military split up, and related places like guardianship and help or belongings unit, aren't desire situations when it comes to those areas and definitely do not spend a substantial part of the practice to those segments. Feel leery of advertising which include a laundry set of every thing under the sun. Remember the saying that is old "a jack of all deals and grasp of none"? Wouldn't your rather have an individual who enjoys the opportunity to concentrate at the least a amount that is significant of to family members law, than somebody who perhaps devotes 3% of their practice to family members law problem? Keep in mind not everybody promotes from inside the telephone directory or haw a webpage or internet presence.. As an example, there are other telephone lists than you can find attorney ads into the telephone book.
The Virginia attorney Referral provider is actually controlled by the Virginia condition pub. Lawyers must ask receive in the number and must agree to a hard and fast charge for an consultation that is initial. An attorney could be noted under any class he/she wants. The names take a rotating list and fond of customers who contact this service membership. Once more, only a few attorneys were indexed. We are really not noted with all the referral service. This guide can offer the name of an attorney who is searching for families rules covers. This doesn't mean that the attorney was a specialized on these forms of situation or that he or she practical knowledge. All it indicates try she is seeking divorce cases that he or. Make sure to use the relevant questions i discuss here towards the attorney meeting.
Recommendation #4-Talk to More Than One Attorney
In truth, interview attorneys that are several. Query each attorney just who else manages separation and divorce in your neighborhood. As long as they won't present brands, create work, once you see names displaying on various records of suggestions, chances are probably good that the attorney is performing these circumstances on a frequent basis.
People number 5 - incorporate a record
I have defined points that you need to give consideration to whenever choosing a divorce lawyer.
A. Enjoy. The longer you have been practicing a area that is particular of legislation, the greater you realize. There clearly was an old adage that says a great lawyer understands legislation and outstanding attorney knows the judge! What's the distinction between an excellent lawyer and a lawyer that is great? Feel.
B. Feel Attempting Problems. Keeps he/she achieved any demo successes for their clients? Can the attorney point to circumstances success or client testimonial reflecting their capabilities?
C. is they happy to settle when proper to do so? Test attorneys sometimes suffer from a hired firearm mentality. That they like the thrill of trying circumstances and might perhaps not give consideration to additional options, such as for instance arbitration or mediation to get a resolution. More divorce that is good do not adopt this method, but read demo as a final hotel, when additional options have failed to precipitate a fair resolution on the issues. Unlike other areas associated with rules, group legislation usually requires continuous interactions and therefore need a perspective that is different. Not long ago I study an article by an accident attorney, who was simply creating on how best to select a injury lawyer that is personal. He mentioned to not ever decide a legal professional just who settles a lot of matters. In relation to separation and divorce, in my opinion it is very important you will need to achieve a contract, if you possibly could.
Going to court about group law until you need certainly to is much like using a sledge hammer on a flea difficulty; you might destroy a couple of fleas, however you cause a lot of damage to the dwelling of the house, as well. Whenever individuals settle their particular own covers outside of court, they can be far more imaginative compared to the court could well be in fashioning a fix that will be fair to both sides. Often, agreement is just not feasible. Whenever that's the circumstances, you prefer a professional ready divorce proceedings attorney who can endorse to suit your place in courtroom and it has a proven track record of achievement.
D. Respect in the appropriate neighborhood. Just what are different lawyers saying about any of it lawyer? Has got the lawyer lectured or educated? Possess she or he instructed additional lawyers?
E. Guides. Enjoys he or she written something that has become approved for publishing in legal journals? That is another indication of value for your lawyer as well as for their techniques and experience. Provides he/she authored or released everything designed to instruct the public as their legal rights projects and responsibilities within the laws?
F. Associations and memberships. Exactly what professional associations really does the attorney has? Was she or he a known member on the Family Law Section of the Virginia county pub connection? A part of this Virginia Trial Lawyers? A fellow associated with United states Academy of Matrimonial Attorneys?
G. do the attorney restrict the true quantity of problems he/she undertakes? Do not take every full instance that calls in or walks through the door. Our cleaners reduce number of cases that people undertake to deal with at a provided point in time so as that we an focus on starting the best work for the people consumers.
H. partnership problems.
1. How was actually the telephone replied when you required a consultation?
2. How were you met when you inserted the office? Comprise you provided refreshments?
3. Did the attorney and team hear you? Are you positive? Can you tell these were hearing?
4. comprise you disturbed during the lawyer to your time?
5. Does the attorney utilize authored contracts setting out the variables of the representation while the arrangements that are financial?
6. Just about the most important aspects of choosing a lawyer is the relationship factors: you have to be able to work effectively and conveniently together with your lawyer. The partnership calls for intimacy and count on. Do you actually feel at ease making use of attorney?
7. Were you launched to employees?
8. How long do the attorney retain documents on closed cases? What takes place for the file that is closed? Exactly how is it disposed of? What tips really does the attorney take to protect your company private suggestions?
I. how does he/she apply divorce proceedings rules? Family and peers consider i am crazy to commit very time that is much breakup law. They may become appropriate, me merely could be just a little crazy. But just like the tune states, "it simply are a lunatic you are searching for." Whenever choosing a divorce that is potential make sure to inquire him/her the reason why they decide to apply families rules. Do the lawyer need a full life enjoy that allows him/her to advocate for separation and divorce customers with genuine desire? Is that desire something that is mirrored in customer feedback?
J. Price. Unlike injury training, the ideal divorce or separation lawyers don't supply "free" consultation services. Your will realize that cost are last from the record. Inside our experiences, the divorce lawyers that were best are generally perhaps not the most affordable. When you look at the run that is long what is it well worth for your requirements to hold or obtain your company's fair share of the assets that have been gathered over the course of the marriage? What exactly is it worth for you to guarantee that you preserve your own share that is fair of together with your little ones? A few things can be worth combat for and worth the cost that you must pay.
In case your attorney doesn't invest a substantial part of his/her training to parents legislation issues, hasn't tried a contested divorce case, never attempted a contested custody situation or having never tried an distribution that is equitable, or drawn up a professional domestic relations order dividing a pension, or who may have no experience in army divorce proceedings and has never drawn up an armed forces retired cover purchase, you may want to pick another lawyer to suit your breakup.

Having read this please read comment of author Mary McCafferty at bottom of post
Mary McCafferty grew up in a devout Irish Catholic family, the eighth of 10 children. "My parents' back yard backed up against the Queen of Peace Catholic Church (in Ardsley)," said McCafferty, 53, who has resided in Manheim Township for 19 years. "We went to Mass every single Sunday." But as a young wife and mother, McCafferty drifted away from church. "I always knew there was a God. But God was in my head, not my heart." Her journey back to church and God began in 1987. McCafferty and her husband, Joe, and two children were living in Mount Holly, N.J., where a good friend from parochial school and her husband stopped by.
McCafferty knew the couple had just returned from a trip to Europe. What she didn't know was that when she asked about the trip — which included a stop at Yugoslavia's Medjugorje, a Catholic pilgrimage site — her life would change forever. "I received the gift of grace that day," she said. Twenty-five years later, a simple question — "How was the trip?" — has evolved into "Born Again … in Medjugorje," a self-published memoir by McCafferty released in June through Createspace, a division of Amazon.

It's been a busy week for me and I'm glad it's Friday. The weather is supposed to be good through the weekend and I'm looking forward to doing some spring cleaning. Out with the old in with the new.
I'm really looking forward to spring. I don't winter well. Hubby and I have a trip to the ocean planned. Longbeach, WA is one of out favorite places and we'll be staying at a quaint little cottage motel right on the beach. It's called Akari Bungalows. Nothing fancy, very casual, and though we've never stayed there before the photos look very inviting. I'm looking forward to long walks on the beach, poking around town, and of course, some great seafood! It's been way too long since we've had a chance to get away and I can't wait!
I have some new dangly, girly, pendants in my Etsy store if you would care to take a look. I'm finding that some of the things in my Etsy store sell rather quickly, (which is great for me but maybe not so great for you if you're looking for something in particular), you may want to be added to my mailing list. I send a mailing out whenever I put something new in my store or I have some news to share about updates and whatnot. Or, you can always email me with a request for something special. I do custom orders all the time and all you have to do is ask. If you've seen a photo here or on my website, (or anywhere online), of something that I've make and you would like me to remake it for you I usually can with no problem. A few of my designs are OOAK, (one-of-a-kind), and in that case I will not repeat but everything else is open.

OREGON – Nothing quite says summer like a picnic.
And on Saturday, July 15, Rock River Center in Oregon will hold its annual Summer Picnic for hundreds of its friends and neighbors.
"We're actually grilling out burgers for the 300-400 people who come," said Ann Haas, executive director of RRC.
The event is an annual fundraiser for the center, which serves seniors in Ogle County. It will run from 4-7 p.m. at the center, 810 S. 10th St.
The burgers will be new this year. Haas said in the past the menu has featured barbecued pork. This year it will be hamburgers, potato salad, beans and a drink. And don't forget the ice cream.
Haas said she will be making the potato salad herself.
How long will that take?
"I don't know," she said with a smile. "I'll find out."
Again this year, the meat is being donated by Dale Beesing of Beesing Welding.
Along with the food, there will be plenty of items up for auction. Haas said this year, the auctions will be done at different times to give more people a chance to buy items. Most of the items were made by area people and donated for the event.
Quilts, a handmade wood chess set and plenty of other unique items will be up for auction.
Haas said people can enjoy being outside or inside during the event. She said most like to stay inside the center and visit while they eat – and check out the items up for auction.
The cost is $8 for adults. Kids under the age of 6 eat for free.
"It's a great community group event," Haas said.

The popular Toyota Yaris Trend has been revamped and improved this year to further its allure to young motorists.
The 2013 model was premiered at the close of 2012 with Toyota's involvement at the Paris Motor Show. This was a continuation of the car's links to fashion that began early in 2012.
The high-specification Yaris Trend model offers buyers fewer options to keep factory and purchases prices down, giving buyers the best value for money.
The Yaris Trend only comes in the 1.3-litre petrol engine, though buyers can choose from either the six-speed manual or the Multidrive S automated manual gearbox. The absence of abreakdown of engine choices should not deter the buyer. The 1.33 engine is a long-time top seller that offers a smooth, extremely quiet ride. If used prudently, the engine is notably fuel efficient.
A rich yellow-brown colour, called ochre, has been added to the seat stitching and dashboard.
The manual model is priced from £14,570, while the automatic version is £1,000 more. The automatic model, which is really an automated manual beneath the bonnet, connects to a stylish gear selector featuring a white insert and ochre stitching.

Visit us in the Summer and you can discover a veritable cornucopia of gardens in full bloom.
Although England is perhaps more famed for its prettily manicured gardens, there are a number of country homes, both private and public, that are open during the summer to visitors right here in North Wales.
You don't have to be an avid horticulturist to appreciate the hard work and artistry that has gone into transforming these greens spaces, many of which have been put under threat by either closure or the invasion of damaging foreign plants such as hog weed or Japanese knotweed.
Recently, researchers from nearby Swansea university have conducted a survey into the regenerative properties of knotweed and have reported that only through the correct application of herbicides at the right time of year can this herbaceous plant be properly tackled, something I'm sure many of the gardens on this list will know only too well – thankfully, Knotweed Help is on hand for those in need.
Take a look at our top picks of North Wale gardens (and make sure to report any sightings of suspicious looking plants to the staff there):
Bodnant Gardens
One of a handful of properties owned by the National Trust in Wales, this garden was founded in 1874 and cared for by no fewer than five generations of the McLaren family who maintain an active role in the care and development of the garden to this day. Over the course of over 140 years, the gardens are a perfect example of British garden culture featuring traditional English garden structures as well as terraces, influenced by the family's travels overseas.
Where? Near Colwyn Bay, Conwy How much? Adults for £14.60, children for £6.60
Plas Cadnant Hidden Gardens
The story of the Hidden Gardens at Plas Cadnant is an interesting one. Like many country estates, despite its beauty and heritage, the sheer size and scale of the grounds made it a huge challenge for a single owner to run, especially during the financial hardships of the post-war era.
Although the development of the gardens was begun in 1804, by 1928 the estate was split up and sold off to disparate owners. By 1996, however, the present owner decided to restore the estate and gardens that had brought the Victorians and Edwardians so much joy in the past.
Where? Menai Bridge, Isle of Anglesey How much? Adults for £7.50, children for £2.00 and families for £18.00
Don't be distracted by the stunning 15th Century home at Nantclwyd-y-Dre, although it makes for an interesting visit it's the gardens that are the main attraction here. Featuring a nuttery and rose pergola, this garden is perfect for any budding horticulturists who feel up to the task of spotting a few rare breeds. If your knowledge isn't quite up to snuff then make sure to collar one of the attendants as many of the plants there have medicinal or herbal uses. With unique views over the nearby town of Ruthin and the castle, this is a must-visit if you're in the area.
Where? Castle Street, Ruthin How much? Adults for £5.00, seniors for £4.00, children £4.00

In case you watch this TV show regularly and need something to inspire you to purchase it, these are the special features.
Special Features
• Starz Studios – Spartacus: Vengeance
• The Making Of Spartacus: Vengeance
• Behind The Camera: Directing The Rebellion
• On The Set With Liam McIntyre
• Burning Down The House: The VFX of Episode 205
• The Legend of Spartacus
• Famous Last Words
• Bloopers
• Spartacus: War of the Damned teaser
Review-I will be honest, the first season of Spartacus was amazing. You know when the season ended it would be very hard to top it, but almost impossible without Andy Whitfield, what he brought to the role of Spartacus was on par with what Michael C Hall brought to the role of Dexter. It was another one of those television characters that we wanted to follow and get behind. That being said it is pretty clear from the first episode how bad Andy would be missed, Liam McIntyre while good in his own way, is not even close to having the presence of Andy. Like most shows you expect on channels like Starz, HBO and etc. the material on this show is very adult, in terms of sexuality and violence. That is the one thing that Spartacus continued from the first season that I am a fan of, how graphic and intense this show does get. The first 3 episodes of this season were so weak, and such a letdown, even though by episode 4 they start to pick up and each episode after tries just as hard, I just felt that it missed the magic and attitude that season one gave us.
I felt the writing on this show seemed more to want to imitate then create, and that the characters were so one dimensional without really much heart, passion or personality. While first season came across with its own identity, the plot and characters this season came across like Gladiator-lite and the violence seemed to borrow a lot from 300. The depiction of Rome seems to be very inaccurate of what we have come to learn from other films and history books, but this show is meant to be fiction and not accurate, but they seem to want to rewrite roman history as they went thru the season. This show seems to have no issue giving us sex, but cannot create character depth to save its life. It seems each episode this season had to have some kind of hook and twist to keep us interested, that it knew it would not accomplish this with the script and action. Like Immortals, this gives us the Romans and their world as seen thru the eyes of the meek, the ones who eventually will try to defy Rome.
My main gripes that I voiced in this review are probably the main reason I am going to be interested in the next chapter and what it offers upcoming. If you can get thru the first few episodes and can get used to Liam and what he offers to the role, you may like this. I love that television seems to be getting more and more adult and edgy and less soap opera, and this show is a great example of a good idea that worked once, failed the second time but may still be worth watching. We shall see very soon.

The IVC is simply a way of drawing the market that an organisation competes in. You may be asking yourself, 'Why would I bother drawing the marketplace?" The answer is simple – by drawing the market you can see how it works, and the more you can see, the better position you will be in to compete. By drawing an IVC you achieve a greater understanding of how your industry actually works.
Parallel: If both companies share similar inputs, they then are put through the one supplier, giving the organisation a greater negotiating position, which could result in cheaper raw material costs.

The ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) is a ligament that connects the lower end of the thigh bone (femur) to the top of the lower leg bone (tibia). This ligament is commonly injured in sporting activities and can be problematic because it does not heal well. The poor healing capacity of the ACL is due to the fact that it is bathed in synovial fluid (the fluid that is normally in the knee) and that it is not well vascularized (ie: the ACL does not have an abundant blood supply).
How it happens
ACL injuries occur most commonly in patients who play sports. They can also occur with other types of trauma, such as falls or motor vehicle accidents. The most common mechanism of ACL injury is a twisting or pivoting injury on the knee, where the foot remains planted and the knee twists. It also occurs commonly when landing from a jump, when the knee buckles or twists. The patient usually feels a "pop," when the anterior cruciate ligament tears. The knee will also usually swell up within the first twenty-four to forty-eight hours.
How it feels
After the knee is injured and the ACL is torn, the knee will often feel very painful due to the ligament injury and the swelling. Patients often have difficulty walking after a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament. Patients may also feel knee instability after they tear their ACL. The knee may feel unstable early after the ACL injury, or in some cases, patients will feel instability after they recover from the injury to the anterior cruciate ligament.
How it is fixed
Patients who are very active and participate in cutting and pivoting sports, such as basketball, soccer, and football, will have a very high incidence of knee instability after an ACL injury. For these individuals, surgery is recommended to avoid the risk of future instability related to their anterior cruciate ligament, which can also lead to further meniscus and cartilage damage. For patients who do not participate in cutting and pivoting sports, non-operative management may be considered. This consists of physical therapy and strengthening. For patients who elect to undergo surgery, the anterior cruciate ligament is reconstructed with a tendon. The ACL reconstruction can be done either with a tendon from the patient's own knee, or using an allograft (or transplant) from a donor.
ACL reconstruction is done as an outpatient procedure, meaning that the patient goes home the same day. After ACL reconstruction, a brace is used for a few days and then patients can walk with crutches. Knee motion is started the day after surgery, and most patients can walk normally within one month of the ACL reconstruction. After anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, patients initially work on range of motion and strengthening and then start light jogging at three to four months after surgery. A full return to sports requires at least six months of recovery after the procedure. The vast majority of patients are able to return to their previous level of activity in sports following successful ACL reconstruction.
Meniscus injuries
The knee can bend and straighten in a smooth and fluid fashion thanks to the cartilage on the ends of the thigh bone (femur) and leg bone (tibia). This cartilage is similar to the smooth shiny surface on the end of a chicken bone. There is also another type of cartilage in the knee called the meniscus. The meniscus is localized between the ends of the bones and acts as a shock absorber and stabilizer. It is a very important structure, because studies have shown that if the entire meniscus is removed, the knee can develop arthritis.
How it happens
The meniscus is frequently injured in sports and also when lifting weights in the gym. The most common mechanism of injury is a rapid twisting of the knee, but it can occur many other ways such as a forceful flexion. This can happen if a lifter hits the deep full squat position hard and bounces back up. In some cases, you may not remember a specific injury, but the meniscus can tear due to repetitive loads and chronic cartilage degeneration.
How it feels
A torn meniscus is often painful because loose ends of the torn piece can get trapped in the knee. In some cases, the torn piece can lead to mechanical catching or locking of the knee and you will have to maneuver the knee to "unlock" it and allow motion. In other cases, a piece of the meniscus can break off and become a "loose body" that can also lead to the knee catching or locking. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is very helpful to confirm the diagnosis and can assist in determining the best course of treatment for the meniscus tear.
How it is fixed
After the onset of symptoms, a trial of physical therapy and anti-inflammatory medications may be warranted. However, mechanical symptoms such as catching and locking will only resolve if the offending fragment of meniscus tissue is removed. This is done with arthroscopic surgery. The procedure is performed through two small holes in the knee, each measuring less than a centimeter. A camera is inserted into the knee through one hole and surgical instruments through the other. The torn pieces from the knee are removed with the surgical instruments. To avoid future problems with the knee, as little tissue as possible is removed. In some cases, the meniscus can be repaired so no tissue is removed. We see our work inside the knee live on a television screen in the operating room. The fiber optics allows a better view of the inside of the knee than can be achieved with open surgery.
Following the meniscus surgery, rehabilitation is undertaken with a physical therapist. The initial steps in therapy are to reduce swelling and regain full motion of the knee. Crutches are generally used for a few days and most patients are walking normally by one to two weeks following surgery. Strengthening is an important part of the rehabilitation process and return to sports is generally possible by three months. Professional athletes who are in top shape and can dedicate each day to rehabilitation can return to play within a week or two in some cases, depending on their sport.
Osteoarthritis and knee replacement
Arthritis of the knee is a common condition. This occurs when the cartilage in the knee wears down over time leading to discomfort in the knee. When the cartilage completely erodes in the knee, there is bone that rubs against bone, which is painful and uncomfortable. If the arthritis pain becomes very advanced, patients can have difficulty walking and sleeping due to the discomfort. In this fashion, arthritis of the knee can limit patients' quality of life.
How it happens
Arthritis is generally due to "wear and tear" of cartilage. Some individuals may be more susceptible to knee arthritis than others, possibly due to their genetic makeup. Other patients may develop osteoarthritis related to a previous knee injury.
How it feels
Arthritis pain in the knee is generally felt as a deep, dull ache. The knee pain is usually worse with activities such as walking. When knee arthritis pain is very advanced, running will be impossible. After increased activity, such as a long walk, knee arthritis pain will usually be more severe. Generally, knee arthritis is easily diagnosed with plain x-rays. MRI is generally not required to make this diagnosis.
How it is fixed
Knee arthritis is treated initially with non-operative management. This includes medication, such as non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, as well as Tylenol. Chondroitin and glucosamine have been proven to be effective for alleviating pain related to knee arthritis. Physical therapy is a very valuable non-operative management option to improve the pain related to knee arthritis and increase function. Injections may also be useful including cortisone or visco-supplementation (injection of sodium hyaluronate). A brace may help some patients with advanced knee arthritis. A cane can also be of assistance to patients with knee arthritis. If non-operative management does not sufficiently improve the symptoms, surgery may be required. Most commonly, total knee replacement (also known as total knee arthroplasty or TKA) is the procedure of choice. In some cases, a partial knee replacement can be performed. Knee replacement surgery involves resurfacing the ends of the bones with metal and plastic components, so that the bone on bone is eliminated; therefore the pain is reduced.
After total knee replacement surgery, patients generally stay in the hospital for three to five days. Physical therapy begins the day after surgery, and the patient gets out of bed and begins to walk. Range of motion exercises are also started on the first day after the knee replacement. Patients are usually able to walk without assistance within two weeks, and most patients can walk without a limp (or minimal limp) within two months. The recovery period following total knee replacement usually lasts between three and six months. Physical therapy is required to regain range of motion and to improve walking ability.
Complex multiligament knee injuries
Multiligament knee injuries are also known as knee dislocations and occur when the end of the femur [thigh bone] separates from the tibia [shin bone], causing multiple knee ligaments to tear. These injuries are very severe and lead to gross instability of the knee. Surgery is usually required to reconstruct the ligaments. This surgery is often extensive and technically demanding.
How it happens
Multiligament knee trauma is frequently the result of a high energy injury such as a car accident or fall from a height. It can also occur from a sports injury, or rarely, a fall at work or during everyday activity. In these injuries, two or more of the major ligaments in the knee are severely injured and require surgery. If three or all four of the major ligaments are injured, the knee may be dislocated.
How it feels
These injuries are usually associated with severe pain and swelling of the knee. Patients can generally not walk and in some cases have damage to the nerves or arteries of the leg. Because many ligaments in the knee are injured, the knee is normally unstable after a period of healing. The patient will feel unstable on their knee and it can feel loose and wobbly.
How it is fixed
In some cases, one or more of the ligaments may heal without surgery. In most patients, surgery is required to reconstruct ligaments. Repair may be performed where the ligaments are stitched back together, but frequently the ligaments must be constructed using a graft to make a new ligament. The graft may be taken from the patient, or frequently donor tissue (allograft) is used since many grafts are required for the procedure.
After multiligament knee reconstruction, patients are in a brace and do not bear weight on the knee for approximately four weeks, depending on the procedure. Physical therapy is required and crutches are generally used for over one month.
Pediatric knee surgery
The most common problems in children's knees include ACL tears, discoid meniscus, and osteochondritis dissecans [OCD].
How it happens
ACL tears occur usually from a sports injury. Discoid meniscus is a congenital problem, where the child is born with a meniscus that is too large, and they frequently tear and cause symptoms of pain or popping in the knee. The cause of OCD is not clear, but it can cause pain in the child's knee and require surgery in some cases.
How it feels
When the ACL is torn the knee is painful and swollen. Subsequently, the child may have a sense of instability or giving-way. A discoid meniscus will often cause pain or a sense of catching or locking. OCD lesions generally cause pain that is worse with activity.
How it is fixed
These conditions do not always require surgery in children. When surgery is indicated, Dr. Marx uses specific techniques to avoid growth plate injury in children. These techniques vary depending on the age and skeletal maturity of the child. Discoid meniscus can be treated either through resection of the extra meniscus or repair, depending on the type of meniscus. Lastly, OCD lesions are usually treated with arthroscopic drilling, which is a relatively small procedure. In some cases, more extensive surgery is required.
Crutches are required following ACL surgery or OCD drilling. If a discoid meniscus is repaired with sutures, crutches are also required, but, if only a portion of the meniscus is removed, crutches may only be needed for a few days. Physical therapy is required after surgery for each of these conditions.
Arthritis of the knee is a common condition. When the bones of your knee are not properly aligned, this can put extra stress on either the inner (medial) or outer (lateral) side of your knee. This pressure can wear away the cartilage that protects the bones. The result is pain and stiffness. If only one side of the joint is damaged, an osteotomy can redistribute pressure on the arthritic side to a healthier area. This can allow you to return to normal activities without pain.
How it happens
Arthritis is generally due to "wear and tear" of cartilage. Some individuals may be more susceptible to knee arthritis than others, possibly due to their genetic makeup. Poor knee alignment can worsen the arthritic damage on one side of the knee joint.
How it feels
Arthritis pain in the knee is generally felt as a deep, dull ache. The knee pain is usually worse with activities such as walking. When knee arthritis pain is very advanced, running will be impossible. After increased activity, such as a long walk, knee arthritis pain will usually be more severe. Generally, knee arthritis is easily diagnosed with plain x-rays.
How it is fixed
Knee arthritis is treated initially with non-operative management. This includes medication, such as non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, as well as Tylenol. Chondroitin (joint supplement that helps reduce osteoarthritis pain) and glucosamine (joint supplement that helps reduce osteoarthritis pain) have been proven to be effective for alleviating pain related to knee arthritis. Physical therapy is a very valuable non-operative management option to improve the pain related to knee arthritis and increase function. Injections may also be useful including cortisone or visco-supplementation (injection of sodium hyaluronate). A brace may help some patients with advanced knee arthritis. A cane can also be of assistance to patients with knee arthritis. If non-operative management does not sufficiently improve the symptoms, surgery may be required. If the arthritis is in its early stage and limited to one side of the knee, an osteotomy may be chosen over a knee replacement. During the procedure, a wedge of bone is removed from the outside of the tibia (shin bone) or femur (thigh bone). The surgeon then closes the wedge, straightening the leg. In some cases, the wedge is "opened" instead of "closed," and the surgeon adds a bone graft to fill the space.
In most cases, patients stay at the hospital for 2 days after an osteotomy. Most patients require crutches for 6 to 8 weeks. Rehabilitation includes range of motion and strength exercises. The recovery period for an osteotomy usually lasts between 3 and 6 months.

Courtesy of British mag GamesMaster, we now have our first information on just what Activision's first Bond game – Quantum of Solace – is all about. Seems it's a first-person shooter, with occasional third-person moments when the action dictates the switch, and will be based on both Casino Royale and the upcoming flick with which the game shares its name. Oh, and QTEs will feature as well. Worth at least the benefit of your doubt, if only because it can't be any worse than the past few EA Bond games.

This past December, PayPal co-founded Peter Thiel put forward what he considered to be the chart of the year (pictured above: the ascending line is student-loan debt). Thiel's selection for chart of the year illustrated why it is critically important that higher education move in the direction of credentialing courses and acquired skills, not institutions.
In order to get there, Senator Mike Lee (R – UT) has introduced new legislation to reform the outdated and bureaucratic system of college accreditation.
The Higher Education Reform and Opportunity (HERO) Act would allow states the opportunity to establish their own accreditation systems, in lieu of the existing de facto system of accreditation overseen in large part by the U.S. Department of Education. The proposal empowers states to develop their own accreditation systems to accredit colleges, individual courses within colleges, apprenticeship programs, and curricula. And any state-accredited educational institution, program, or course would then be eligible for federal funding such as student loans.
The current accreditation system narrows the number of available options for students by requiring students to attend an accredited institution in order to be eligible for a federal student loan. The existing accreditation system also prevents individual courses from being accredited. As Sen. Lee explained in a speech at The Heritage Foundation:
"Today, only degree-issuing academic institutions are even allowed to be accredited. Under the new, optional state systems that my bill would authorize, accreditation could also be available to specialized programs, individual courses, apprenticeships, professional credentialing, and even competency-based tests. States could accredit online courses, or hybrid models with elements on- and off-campus."
Lee went on to explain: "Imagine having access to credit and student aid and for:
- a program in computer science accredited by Apple, or in music, accredited by the New York Philharmonic;
- college-level history classes on-site at Mount Vernon or Gettysburg;
- medical-technician training developed by the Mayo Clinic;
- taking massive, open, online courses offered by the best teachers in the world, from your living room or the public library."
Credentialing courses and acquired skills, not institutions, will be a far better reflection of the competencies valued by employers, will help bring down college costs, create a more flexible higher-ed experience for students, and bring down the barriers to entry for innovative start-ups.
As Stuart Butler and I have written in the past, the "one-size-fits-all" notion of the college experience pigeonholes the typical student as someone who will require four years of undergraduate work to complete training in a given field, with no regard for what field of study they've chosen. The existing accreditation regime also disregards the flexibility and access to content that online learning has produced over the past several decades.
Taking the step of decoupling federal financing from accreditation would infuse previously unseen levels of competition and customization in higher education, making it more accessible for a greater number of students, and ultimately, lower costs. It's a reform that is long overdue.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R) has attempted to distance his statewide health care plan from the Affordable Care Act (ACA) as he positions himself for the 2012 presidential primaries.
But MIT professor Jonathan Gruber, who advised both Romney and President Obama on their health care reform plans, told the Washington Post's Jennifer Rubin today that without Romney's plan (and more specifically, that plan's individual mandate) President Obama never could have gotten his plan through Congress:
He says that as the federal health care plan emerged, the Massachusetts plan was "widely discussed." […]
In his opinion, without the Massachusetts plan the federal individual mandate plan wouldn't have garnered acceptance and gotten through. "It was huge," Gruber says, to have the Massachusetts plan to point to. And without it, he thinks "it's likely" ObamaCare wouldn't have become law.
While there was extensive debate about the individual mandate, Gruber said, its inclusion was ultimately Romney's decision, and the former governor was the plan's biggest "champion." Gruber is also skeptical of the argument Romney now makes, that the Massachusetts reform is different because it is a state-controlled plan. Gruber said that it is incorrect to say, "Massachusetts did it on its own," since it received federal funding to implement the proposal.
A Romney spokesperson declined to respond to Gruber's claim, saying only that Romney is "proud of what he accomplished for Massachusetts in getting health insurance to everyone," but that he still supports repeal of the ACA and a "state-by-state approach to health reform."
Romney's health care reform — particularly the individual mandate — has greatly expanded coverage in the state. Currently, 98 percent of Massachusetts residents, including 99.8 percent of children, are enrolled in a health care plan — the highest in the nation. As Gruber notes, it is both "sad" and "depressing" that Romney has to run away from that sort of an accomplishment in order to satisfy conservative primary voters.

4th of July is Wild and Crazy in Long Beach, Washington
June 26, 2012 by: Susan Goldsmith
If you like 4th of July fireworks running continuously on 28 miles of beach, Long Beach is your spot! Boreas Inn, Trip Advisor's #1 B&B in the area still has some room for you to stay that even have a view of the fireworks! While the City of Long Beach fireworks display is terrific, it is often hard to tell which set of fireworks is the "official" display and which ones are the hundreds of private displays that run along the "World's Longest Beach" in the very furthest Southwest corner of Washington State, where the Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean. If you miss the Long Beach displays on the 4th, the Port of Ilwaco has a simply beautiful display over the Port on Saturday on July 7th!
Pyrotechnics is a rampant art form here in Long Beach, Washington, and for those who cannot get enough of the gigantic sparklers that abound on the 4th of July around the USA, the Long Beach Peninsula will give you the thrill you seek! We promise! We only ask that if you pack it in, you pack it out. The Grass Roots Garbage Gang will be handing out garbage bags to all who come to the beach to play on the 4th of July and will then be conducting their post-4th clean-up starting at 9 a.m. on July 5th. If you'd like to help, just show up on the beach approaches on the Peninsula on the 5th of July! And who knows, maybe you will score some amazing Japanese tsunami find, like a rusted Harley complete with its crate, or maybe even the kitchen sink. It's sad but true.
The City of Long Beach has dumpsters for the tsunami junk, particularly the styrofoam that is floating in. So please come help with that!

Movie Reviews
Missing Heather, But Still Fun
Bobby Underwood | Manly NSW, Australia | 04/03/2010
(4 out of 5 stars)
"While Bulldog Drummond dates all the way back to the silent era of film, the most fun to be had was surely the "B" series which came later. This terrific entry in the Bulldog Drummond "B" series, featuring John Howard in the role of Hugh Drummond, moves quickly and has more atmosphere than usual. Reginald Denny and E.E. Clive return as Bulldog's pals but Heather Angel is missed as his soon-to-be bride. Louise Campbell does a nice job as Phyllis, however, and John Barrymore's presence as the Colonel adds a serious touch to the proceedings.
Phyllis is kidnapped from Rockingham by two seriously twisted criminal minds Colonel Nielson has been aware of for some time. J. Carroll Naish and Helen Freeman are fun as the evil Valdein and Irena. Nielson allows Bulldog to search for Phyllis in his own way by following the deliberate clues left him, such as phonograph records, to find his lady love.
But while Bulldog and his pals go down to the docks in a merry yet somber chase, the Colonel isn't far behind. Barrymore gets to don disguises so he can follow the action without being seen. Howard, sometimes accused of being a bit bland as Drummond by some, seems a bit more dashing here opposite the Great Profile.
It is Tenny (E.E. Clive) who comes to the rescue in this one in Edward T. Lowe's screenplay based on "Bulldog Drummond and the Female of the Species" by H.C. "Sapper" McNeile. Louis King directs this entry in the series with some flair and the ending is a real bang! Bulldog may have a clear path to the alter finally but for a last second breeze!
A very good entry despite the absence of Heather Angel, and one fans of Bulldog Drummond don't want to miss."
A flawed budget thriller
C.A. Arthur | Tacoma, Washington | 10/26/2005
(2 out of 5 stars)
"This is a little second feature from 1937, a low-budget detective story that contains the odd pleasure of seeing John Barrymore in one of his last films. The story, taken from a novel, is fairly entertaining, and the acting is competent. However, the print is terrible, and the sound is not much better. There is no excuse for selling any film in such poor condition."

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has been tipped to make changes ahead of his side's Europa League clash against Rubin Kazan.
Writing for the Liverpool Echo, former player John Aldridge claims the club's manager has a big decision to make in terms of team selection, suggesting that Sunday's Premier League fixture against Crystal Palace will enter his thought process.
After securing a 3-1 victory over rivals Chelsea on Saturday, the revered manager will no doubt be hoping to lead his side to a second straight win in England's elite division this weekend, so he may well have to rest players in Europe.
Do you have what it takes? Sign up today and send over your 250 word test article: https://gms.to/haveyoursay3
Aldridge certainly expects to see changes and expects the likes of Adam Bogdan, Connor Randall, Jordon Ibe, Joe Allen and Dejan Lovren to take to the field in Russia.
Aldridge stated: "It's off to Russia now for the Reds, and I think the manager has a big decision to make in terms of his team selection.
Team dynamic
"We could do with a win in Kazan, just to take some of the pressure off in terms of qualifying for the last 32. But Crystal Palace on Sunday is a great chance to continue our move up the table, and that has to come into Klopp's thinking.
"It's a little trick one. I'd assume the likes of Jordon Ibe, Joe Allen and Dejan Lovren will get a game on Thursday. I'd put Adam Bogdan in goal as well, and maybe give Connor Randall another go.
"I'm interested to see how Klopp plays it."
Premier League priority
Of course, Klopp will be hoping to see his side achieve maximum points against Kazan, but he will be far more concerned with the upcoming home clash against Alan Pardew's dynamic Palace side.
Palace, who like Liverpool have already won at Stamford Bridge this season, will no doubt prove a tricky test for the Reds in their pursuit of climbing the division.
In truth, even if Lovren, Randall and Co. enter the frame on Thursday, Liverpool should have more than enough quality to beat their opponents. Sitting in 12th place in the Russian Premier League, Kazan should be there for the taking. Klopp must find the right balance over the course of this week.
Liverpool fans: name your starting XI for the Kazan clash. Have your say below!

We lost a great artist way too soon
He was a gentle soul with a subtle smile. I had the chance to meet him on a couple of occasions. The first time was in Orange County a few years ago, where he lived. The second time it was at an art exhibit in San Francisco where his painting Iranian Woman, one of the winners of the SNAC (Social Network Art Competition) 2012, was on exhibit. I so wish there had been a third time. In fact a week before he passed on I was in OC. I wanted to go visit him, see his work close up and have a conversation with him.
I am at complete peace with the universe only and only when I paint or when I write.
Kami Kotobi was a skilled painter and sculptor. His paintings, often in mixed media, are somewhat abstract and surreal, richly textured and layered, dramatic and melancholic. "At its very core, artistic expression has to stir emotions, it has to challenge the norm, and it has to provoke thought," he says in the interview below. "Whether I paint, sculpt or write…my ultimate objective is to create an alternate reality that is close enough to our realm and yet different enough to provoke thought," he continues.
I think he effectively achieves all that. His art was well-received. He was active in the art scene in OC. He had several exhibits in OC and LA. For more on his art work, visit his virtual gallery. You can also see one of his last collections titled Woman in this clip.
Kami also had his way with words. He was a poet. He wrote beautiful poetry — both in Persian and English — and published them in his blog, Kami's Corner, which was widely read. He eventually published a collection of his poetry as a book called Breathless in 2012. He often included verses of his poetry in his paintings. In Iranian Woman, he wrote:
Your intolerance she will endure
Your ignorance she will forgive
Your brutality she will refuse to accept
Your belittlements she will bear
Her compliance not a sign of frailty
Her silence not a badge of submission
Strong, willed and wise she is a lioness
Her beauty in and out you will never cover
Below is a good video recorded in 2012, where he talks about his art, poetry and his philosophy.
Despite his dedication to his art, he also had a successful professional career outside the art world. He received a BS (with honors) in business administration from Pepperdine University in 1996. He held a number of senior management and leadership roles running customer service and operations in several technology companies including Teradata, Virtualis, NCR and Fonality.
Kami was born in Iran in 1965. He immigrated to USA at the age of 17 and lived and worked in Southern California since. In April 2014 Kami died in his house in OC. He didn't make it to his 50th birthday. The detail and circumstances of his death were not made public. His family, friends and fans were heartbroken over his untimely departure. We lost a wonderful mind and soul. The news of his death was one of those moments where one questions the meaning of it all. In Loving Memory of Kami Kotobi is a Facebook page in his memory. He shall be remembered. RIP.


text: The collection of evidence using technology is the best way of trying to prove paranormal activity. Using devices such as digital cameras, IR cameras, thermal imaging cameras, etc. can help try and prove the paranormal realm. In turn there are a lot of faked photography and video as well and we need to be cautious and almost skeptical before jumping to any conclusions.

KPA Announces New Product to Manage OSHA's Hazard Communication and Safety Requirements

Lafayette, CO (KPA, November 15, 2010)– By far the most common OSHA violations by auto dealers, oil changers, and service stations are related to Hazard Communication requirements. These violations relate to deficiencies in chemical inventories, written hazard communication programs, material data safety sheets (MSDS), and employee training. Details of Hazard Communication requirements are outlined in OSHA's Publication 3111 (http://www.osha.gov/Publications/osha3111.html).
KPA announced today the availability of their new EHS Elements service which includes customized Hazard Communication and Emergency Response plans, an online Learning Management Systems (LMS) with unlimited access to Emergency Response, Hazard Communication and Hazardous Waste training courses, on-demand access to your facility's Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and facility-specific chemical inventory, DOT shipping tools, function-specific training, and a 24-hour Hazmat hotline which is also mandatory to comply with OSHA and DOT requirements.
KPA's Elements service is designed for the facility that wants assistance managing the essential elements of Hazard Communication and Emergency Response programs, but doesn't need or cannot afford the personal attention from an on-site EHS Safety Professional.
Eric Schmitz, Vice President of Product and Business Development at KPA explained, "Our EHS Professionals deliver over 10,000 environmental and safety audits every year, making us the leader for on-site EHS services in the markets we serve. We are excited to extend these hazard communication and safety services to more companies to help provide a safe work environment and reduce cost and risk associated with occupational safety and health."
A key advantage of KPA's Elements service is the Hazard Communication program. The program provides training, tools, and software to protect your employees and reduce the risks associated with managing hazardous chemicals. Also included is an Emergency Response Plan to help you prepare for facility emergencies and natural disasters.
Peter Zaidel, EHS Product Manager at KPA, commented: "For several years in a row, OSHA has identified Hazard Communication as the most cited violation for auto dealers, oil changers, and service stations. KPA's Elements can help these companies to stay compliant and provide a safe working environment."

Yoga over 50 - four Yoga poses for every fitness level
We teamed up with Lots of Yoga to tell you everything you need to know about starting yoga over 50. Developing a yoga practice in your 50s and beyond is one of the best things you can do. By incorporating yoga into your daily routine and mixing it up with your fitness levels, you can stay more in tune with your body and create space for your mind. Yoga has also been scientifically proven to be beneficial to weight loss, overcoming depression and anxiety, plus it is a great platform for making new friends. We've teamed up with Lots of Yoga and asked them about yoga for over 50s and got some yoga exercises that will work for different levels of fitness.
Yoga Over 50 - What's your fitness level?
So many people seem to think that because they can't touch their toes, they shouldn't do yoga. That's complete and utter nonsense. Yoga is about learning to synchronise your breath with movement, and eventually develop an inner sense of peace. It really has no specific end-goal, nor does it require anyone to 'look' the part. Here we break down three levels of fitness, and you can start practising each pose for three to five breaths, at a level that does not strain your breathing. By slowing working through the levels (ideally six days a week), you should slowly see a difference in your flexibility, strength and level of calmness. Finally, don't forget to consult your doctor on the suitability of any physical exercises. And we strongly encourage you to find a teacher that you can practise with and learn from!
(A) Inactive
You are at Level A if you have not been exercising and want to start now.
(B) Fairly active
So you're reasonably active. You may squeeze in a workout once in a while, or you might just have a busy day-to-day life, running around for work or chasing after kids. You most probably view yourself as active but not exactly athletic. You're a level B.
(C) Active
Level C's are those who have always worked out in some way and view themselves as 'active' to 'very active'.
Yoga poses For Over 50s
Here are four yoga poses and three variations of each for you to try depending on your level of fitness. Try to hold each pose for three to five full breaths.
1. Downward Facing Doc (Adho Mukha Svanasana)
Downward Dog is to many the staple pose in yoga; you could do up to 30 or more Downward Dog poses in any given yoga-flow class! Its benefits include opening of the shoulders and the chest, as well as stretching the hamstrings and spine. From a kneeling position on hands and knees, step on the toes keeping the hands and feet securely in place, and lift the bottom all the way up towards the ceiling, aiming to gently push the head towards the knees, creating an upside-down V shape. Hands should be shoulder-distance apart, feet hip-distance apart and the gaze between the thighs or at the navel.
(A) Lean on the back of a chair
Place your hands on the back of a chair and try to get your head past the forearms to get a maximum stretch in the shoulders.
(B) Lean on the seat of a chair
Use the seat of a chair to get further towards the ground. Bend the knees to relieve tension in the hamstrings.
(C) Full Downward Facing Dog
Place hands shoulder distance apart on the mat, and feet hip distance apart, push through the hands and feet, while opening the chest and head towards the floor.
2. Seated Forward Bend (Paschimatanasana)
The Seated Forward Bend as well as being a great pose in itself, stretching the hamstrings and the spine, is also often used as a restorative yoga pose to relieve pressure in the lower back and back pain in general. From a seated position, stretch out the legs in front of you, keeping the back as straight as possible, hinge forwards from the hips, trying not to round the back, as far as you can go, and holding the pose there.
(A) Sit on a chair
Sit on the edge of a chair and bend forward at the hips, keeping the spine straight.
(B) Use a strap.
Wrap a strap around the feet and hold onto it while gently pulling yourself forward keeping the spine as straight as possible.
(C) Full Seated Forward Bend
With the legs stretched out in front of you, fold forwards bending at the hips and hold on to the feet, with a slight bend in the knees to relieve any tension in the hamstrings.
3. Triangle Pose (Trikonasana)
One of the most popular poses in yoga's standing sequence, Triangle Pose provides a deep stretch in the hamstrings, the side body, opens up the chest and shoulders, and really utilises the spine's capacity, giving it a much-needed stretch. From standing, take a big step back, keeping feet on either side of an imaginary line, the front foot facing forwards and the back foot angled inwards at 45 degrees. Raise the arms out by the side, lean the upper body forward over the front leg, and twist the torso so that the front hand comes down to meet the front foot, and the other hand is raised to the sky, keeping the gaze on the upper hand.
(A) Lean on the back of a chair.
From standing, take a big step backwards and hold on to the back of a chair with one hand, raising the other hand and upper body towards the sky.
(B) Lean on the seat of a chair.
Leaning on the chair seat, twist the upper body and upper hand towards the sky.
(C) Full Triangle Pose
Trying to keep the upper body and pelvis tucked in, bend the upper body down towards the foot whilst rotating the upper body upwards and gaze towards the sky.
4. Warrior II Pose (Virabhadrasana II)
Another yogi favourite, Warrior II pose is as strong as it sounds. Done properly, it works out the core, the legs (especially the thighs), opens up the shoulders and tones up the bum. From standing, take a big step back, keeping feet on either side of an imaginary line, the front foot facing forwards and the back foot angled inwards at 45 degrees. Bend the front knee so that the knee is directly above the ankle. Raise the arms out by the side, and face forwards, gazing over the front arm.
(A) Straddle a chair.
Sit on a chair sideways so that your front leg is over the chair and the back leg is on the floor, foot turned in at a 45 degree angle. Raise the hands up so they are parallel to the floor and gaze forwards.
(B) Put the back knee on a prop.
With this variation, you can keep the back knee on the floor or on a block, keeping the front knee directly over the ankle.
(C) Full Warrior II Pose
Keep your weight distributed evenly between the back and front legs, keep the front knee over the ankle and body straight, facing forwards.
And when you are done, we encourage you to lie down on the mat in a pose called 'savasana', also known as 'corpse pose'. Try to take 10 full breaths. If you have never tried meditating before, try to remind yourself to let go in this pose, letting your body relax and completely melt into the mat. Remember, in the beginning some poses may be more challenging than others, but by persisting every day, you will start to build confidence and your muscles will adapt, getting stronger and leaner.

Tips for Buying Clothes
We've all probably heard the phrase "Cheap is expensive" and found it ironic, right? The thing is, it carries more truth than it lets on. How many times have you bought something nice only for it to break after just a few uses? What you think was a score turned out to be a complete waste.
When you buy cheap, you're probably spending a little now but it won't take long before you actually have to head out to the mall and replace it. In this article, let's take a look at the 6 Easy Steps to Buying Clothes Made from Good Quality.
Know where to shop
If you're on the lookout for high-quality clothes that will last, it's often best to avoid going to low-budget stores because in most cases, you get what you pay for. Set realistic expectations of the kind of quality you would get with the amount of money you're willing to spend. Most of the time, investing in higher quality and a bit more expensive items will save you in the long run. Be careful though! On the flip side, just because something is expensive doesn't automatically mean it's of higher quality. Sometimes it's just a marketing ploy. That is why the rest of the tips will come in handy. Read on!
Check the label
No, it's not just for your kids' powdered milk. It also applies to garments. The label usually has all the vital information about the clothes that most people don't seem to take note of. Quartz suggests checking the label for information on fabric content, but more on this later.
Take a look at where it's made
This is not to discriminate against certain manufacturers because quality manufacturing can come from any country. According to Get Rich Slowly, having a background knowledge of which countries have higher labor costs should help you decide whether or not to pay more for a specific item.
Check the fabrics used
The rule is to stick to NATURAL fabrics like cotton and wool. These fabrics feel more comfortable, withstand washing and last longer than their synthetic counterparts. The downside is they're not necessarily budget friendly. In most cases, synthetic blends offer a more affordable alternative. If you're curious about which specific types of fabrics work best for your kids, Sew Guide gives you 13 fabric options which are common in the more accessible clothing shops and department stores.
Take a look at the construction
Even if you don't have the best fabrics, a well-constructed garment can make up for it. The quickest way to check how well an item is constructed is to hold it up against the light and stretch one of the seams. The less light that passes through, the better. For other pointers, The Luxe Strategist gives a low down on what to look out for, for both clothes and shoes.
Make sure it fits
Well-constructed garments made from high-quality fabrics don't really mean anything if it doesn't fit. Make sure something fits according to your liking before you take something home.
The women's clothes listed on BNY Jeans are made from quality materials that have been through various quality control checks so you're absolutely sure of what you're investing your hard-earned money in. The key takeaway here is to buy clothes from reputable manufacturers that you can trust, so you can get the most out of the clothes you buy.
Hopefully, the little one also got into this quality-seeking habit. Watch how my daughter Zooey did on her PHP 1000 Shopping Challenge.
