What causes sore throat, speech articulation problems and swollen lymph nodes? 3 possible conditions
See a list of possible causes in order from the most common to the least.
Strep throat is a bacterial infection that causes inflammation and pain in the throat. It's especially common in children. Look out for sudden fever, a red throat with white patches, headache, and chills.
Tonsillitis occurs when the tonsils (the lymph tissue in your throat) become infected. Symptoms include sore throat, fever, and swollen tonsils. Fortunately, it's normally easily diagnosed and treated.
Laryngitis is when your voice box or vocal cords become inflamed from overuse, irritation, or infection. It comes in both acute and chronic forms.

Shoe purchases
Very pleased with my recent order of two different styles of heels. Would like to see more colors as I now have allthe colors. Suggestions: Bone; AmethystThank you! Dr. Joyce
Naples, FL
Leopard Pump
Really cute, comfortable and very sexy.
Black suede pumps
ordered black suede pumps. They seem small and they might have been more comfortable a half size larger
The Villages, FL
Awesome shoes
These are the most comfortable pumps I have ever worn. I bought the black patent, and they are simply gorgeous and sexy, but the best thing is they feel as comfortable as an old pair of sneakers! I am purchasing more colors!
Miller Place, NY
Not comfortable at all
I went by the many reviews and ordered these in a half size larger. BIG MISTAKE! I put insoles in them hoping to make them a bit tighter, but no such luck. As with the other pair of shoes I just received, my toes got very sore just from wearing them around the house. Sadly these will be returned.
Dale City, Va
Cute but runs small
Gorgeous shoes..order a size up..they are super tiny..i just received my exchanged and they fit perfect..
Lovely shoe
Great looking shoe;I ordered the tortoise and it's real cute-not really a stilletto but still is a little high(but looks sexy) I agree with the other comment; order a 1/2 size larger; I usually take anywhere from 7 1/2- 8. The last shoe I ordered could have been 1/2 size smaller-big mistake; go up 1/2 size. Sharon
Pine Bush NY
Runs Small
I bought the taupe shoe and love it but the shoe runs small. Best to buy 1/2 size larger.
Clinton, MS
Initially, I bought this shoe in black and it is very comfortable and I recieved many compliments on this shoe. I just bought the nude color shoe to go with the soft pastle colors of Spring and it is comfortable as well.
Silver Fox
Warren, MI
Great shoes!
I absolutely love, love this shoe! Its basic but stylish. The heel is perfect without feeling like your foot is sliding forward. I wear these mostly to church and always receive compliments. I'm buying all colors.
Stafford, VA
Very comfortable, stylish shoe
I purchased the tortoise color shoe and it is beautiful! It fits well and I wore these all day at work with no problems at all. They are a very comfortable shoe! They are very stylish as well! These shoes are keepers for sure!

No pressure. Tell your friends.
No really. Did you? You can click here to tweet it out and spread the word (I really appreciate it!)
Alright, let's do this. You need some supplies first. They're not pricey, but you do need all of them. If there's an appropriate alternative, I'll list it. Otherwise, plan to get exactly what I list to get the same results I did. YOU CAN DO THIS!
-Lysol dual action wipes (or a sponge with soap/water)
-Masking tape AND painter's tape (you could just use painter's tape, I use masking tape because it's cheap at Dollar Tree…so in other words, painter's tape is expensive, so I only use it when I absolutely have to)
-General Finishes Java Gel Stain (YOU CANNOT SUBSTITUTE THIS! I had a ton of trouble finding it locally, so I bought it on Amazon and had it to my door in about 4 days.) If you're doing a small vanity, order the 1/2 pint. If you're doing a whole kitchen, order the quart. I ordered the quart since I am doing a vanity + a whole kitchen. A little of this goes a LONG way.
-General Finishes Satin Poly/topcoat or any other satin polycoat will do.
-Ziploc baggy to keep track of all the hardware + screws + hinges.
-Screwdriver to take off hardware/hinges.
-Tack cloth
-Men's sock or a foam brush
-Postal wrapping paper or drop cloths or tarp to protect floors. I bought the postal wrapping paper at Dollar Tree and it was so easy to cover up my floor.
-Painters pyramids to use on cabinet doors so you can paint both sides at once
UPDATE: Due to insane amounts of traffic from Pinterest, there's now a FAQ post about this very tutorial below. You can read it here. And if you don't mind, a quick tweet about this tutorial will help me keep up with all the emails I get.
Here's what my vanity looked like before I got started.
Step 1: Remove all hardware and put it in a ziploc baggy.
Simple enough.
Step 2: Prep your area.
This is probably the least fun step, but you must protect your floors, counters, walls, tiles, or any area that may get stain on it. And trust me, this stuff is oil based, so it stains easily and quickly. Makes it great for cabinets, not great for anything else. Prep now to avoid lots of messy clean-up later. I used painters tape for walls/counters/inside of cabinets and I used masking tape to tape my paper down onto the floor.
Step 3: Clean all cabinet frames/drawers/doors and remove them.
I used the Lysol dual action wipes because one side is scrubby and the other side is smooth. Basically you want to make sure to get any grime, dust, gooey stuff, dirt, etc. off the cabinets. Now, my vanity is obviously in a bathroom, so this step was quick and easy. If you're prepping kitchen cabinets, you'll like need to use a sponge and soapy water to get off years of grease and gunk. Once you're done cleaning, make sure they're dry and go ahead and remove all the drawers and doors. I stained my drawers/doors in the garage, so I moved all of that over there.
Step 4: Lightly sand cabinets and remove dust with a tack cloth.
You should not spend a ton of time sanding. I would say 1 minute per door and 30 seconds per drawer. You're just wanting to break up some of the shine on cabinets, not completely strip them. I used an angled sanding block with a fine (not medium or coarse) finish to get in the bevels. Once you sand, make sure to thoroughly wipe off all dust with a tack cloth. Do this twice.
Step 5: Stain. Dry. Stain. Dry. Stain. Dry. Dry. Dry. Poly. Dry. Poly. Dry. Dry. Dry.
This step doesn't have many pictures because I had to use one hand to stain and another to make sure I wasn't getting gel stain all over the place…but bear with me.
You'll put on a vinyl glove. I put it on my right hand since I am right handed. Then put your men's sock over it. Why does it have to be a men's sock? Well, generally men's socks are white and tend to be LONG, so it'll protect your entire forearm from gel stain. The glove is meant to protect your hands from being stained an espresso color. You'll leave your other hand free to wipe off any globs or stain that you might get in places you don't want them.
I've read reports where people used a foam brush to apply the stain, but I prefer the sock method. Do whatever makes you happy. :) Now, I did use the foam brush to get in tight places like near the counters or in beveled corners, but for 90% of the time I used the sock method.
Now, how much stain to use? I used about 1 tbsp per drawer and 1.5-2 tbsp per door. These aren't exact figures, so don't go whip out your measuring spoons, but my point is use a slightly generous amount, but do not go overboard.
Also, unlike other staining methods, do not wipe it off. You want to put on a nice, thin coat. Make sure the stain doesn't glob up on/in corners, that's when cheesecloth/gauze is handy. Then you let coat 1 dry for 12 hours. Then you put the 2nd coat. Let it dry for 24 hours. Then put the last/third coat and let it dry for 5 days and then seal it with 2 coats of gel poly.
Drying time is so important, do not rush this step or you will end up having to put on a billion coats of stain and it will not be good. Light, thin coats + ample drying time + topcoat= fantastic results.
Your first coat may result in panic… Go have a shot of tequila and keep the faith. It will look streaky and odd and ugly.
Another shot of how ugly coat 1 looks.
After 3 coats of stain + 2 coats of poly + lots of drying time, you can put on your hardware again. And you're done! Ta-dah! For the coat of poly, follow the manufacturer's instruction (and good judgment) for the drying time. More drying time is always better than less.
My bathroom is super narrow, so it's hard to get a straight on pic/shot of the drawers, so here are a few…
Now, you'll notice the doors aren't back on yet, and that's because I've only done 1 side and need to do the other. For now, this is all I got. I'll update with a lovely photo once I have it all done. Promise.
Some quick tips:
-Don't over think this project. It is quite easy.
-Please use General Finishes gel stain and poly. You won't regret it.
-On cabinet doors, plan on doing the front and backs. I bought some painters pyramids to prop up my doors so I can knock out both sides at one time. These are $4/10 at Home Depot. I bought 2 packs so I could have a multiple of 4. Each door will need 4 pyramids to be stable.
-Light coats=success
-Drying time=the longer the better
-Each drawer should take about 1-2 minutes a coat. Each door should take 3-4 minutes. Do not over apply or over wipe. Check for globs when you're done and smooth out with pinky finger.
-Socks rock for applying stain. Socks for applying poly. Simply wipe it on.
-If you're intimated by this project, try it on the back of a cabinet door first or buy a spare cabinet door at REStore or Goodwill.
-Touch up any streaks in the finish BEFORE applying the poly.
-You can do this! If you have a large kitchen, break it up into manageable chunks over a few weekends.
-Parts of my vanity were laminate and not wood. Treat it as if it was wood. It'll all work out in the end.
I hope you all found this tutorial to be useful in trying to DIY your way from honey oak cabinets into a stunning espresso finish. Please leave me any adoring comments or questions below, or you can always tweet at me (@monicabenavidez) or e-mail me at monicawantsit{@}gmail.com
And for funsies! Before & After:
UPDATE: Due to insane amounts of traffic from Pinterest, there's now a FAQ post about this very tutorial below. You can read it here.
JULY 2015 UPDATE: Three years later I can safely and accurately say the stain and finish still look as good as it did back in 2012. So although my way may not be the purist way in terms of staining, it still worked fabulously. You can see my many other DIY projects here!

I was wondering if a procedure similiar to steeking could be used to add shaping to a sweater - it could be knit straight(boxy) then have a line of stitching to add some curve - then trim the excess? Basically it would be similar to treating a piece of knitted fabric like you would any other fabric - cut it and hem (or hem and cut in this case).
would this work?

Absolutely. Often vests are made this way - just a straight tube, with armholes steeked.
It's just that most knitters aren't looking for reasons to hack into their knitting!
But it's certainly doable!

was wondering - a friend of mine knitted a sweater for herself and it's way too wide. It's not a distinct pattern, so I thought she could fix it this way rather than frog the whole thing.

Absolutely. A friend fixed a vest the same way - it sort of winged out when she knit it, so she steeked the shoulders.
I'd turn the sweater inside out so she can wear it and have someone pin it on her body to the width she wants, since steeking is permanent. Then she can steek to her heart's content!

To place a value on property for tax purposes.
The percentage of value at which property is assessed.
The review of an assessment placed on a property. The first place to appeal an assessment is at the Assessor's Office; the second level of appeal is the Board of Review (BOR); the third avenue for appeal is the Property Tax Appeal Board; the fourth is to file an objection in Circuit Court (only if filed at BOR).
The fair market value multiplied by the assessment level for a class of property.
The process of dividing property into various classifications for purposes of taxing them at varying levels of assessment.
The assessed valuation multiplied by the equalization factor.
A factor determined by the Illinois Department of Revenue each year to ensure an equal assessment among all 102 counties in the state. State statute requires that the aggregate value of assessments within each county must be equalized at 33 1/3% of the estimated fair market value of real property in the county. This factor is also known as the "multiplier."
Release from liability for a portion of property taxes.
The calculation of the tax rate by the County Clerk based on the local municipality's tax levy.
The value the Cook County Assessor places on each parcel of real estate.
The value placed on a property for assessment purposes.
The local tax on the value of real property, land, buildings and homes.
A mandatory payment to the government in order to fund government services.
The total body of tax revenues.
Units of governments that collect taxes to fund government services (the City of Chicago, Chicago Board of Education, Chicago Park District, County of Cook, and local school districts.)
Incentives include exemptions, deferrals, abatements or tax credits. Incentives were established to stimulate a specific type of new growth for certain types of properties (i.e. affordable housing) or growth in areas of economic need.
The amount in real estate taxes requested by each taxing body.
The tax levy divided by the total equalized assessed valuation. This figure is compiled by the Cook County Clerk and applied to the equalized assessed valuation to determine the amount paid in property taxes.

Jose Valverde needed a job. The Tigers need a closer.
Like a corporate merger, this union makes sense, no matter how unlikely it appeared even 72 hours ago.
The closer-less Tigers signed their former relief maestro to a minor-league audition Thursday a day after watching their idyllic bullpen plan blow to pieces in the ninth inning of Wednesday's unnecessary and disturbing loss to the Twins.
Closer by committee. Bullpen by way of mixing and matching. All lovely terms, concepts and applications as the Tigers and their relief-pitching strategies were considered.
And, at least for this 2013 Tigers team as it is currently constructed, all of those notions are fantasy. It's next to impossible for a World Series-caliber team to get to the summit minus a ninth-inning, put-away artist.
The Tigers, after blowing Game 2 of the 2013 regular season, had to be concerned about goals more immediate than making the World Series. They need to win their division. And that basic objective stood to be a tougher target if too many games were lost in the manner of Wednesday's donation.
And so Dave Dombrowski, who had all along believed his rookie, Bruce Rondon, would be the bullpen's new gladiator, had to concede Thursday that a major gamble has gone against him and his team.
Rondon is in Triple A understudying for what could yet become his job in 2013. But in the meantime, Dombrowski, the Tigers president and general manager, had to guard against a trap door springing on manager Jim Leyland's team 48 hours into a new season.
In a jam
Valverde's chances at rescuing the Tigers are likely slim unless he has recovered much of what had been lost a season ago.
A big, right-handed reliever reliant on power pitches deteriorated steadily in 2012. He finally disintegrated during last autumn's playoffs, nearly costing the Tigers a precious shot at the World Series.
The Tigers had seen enough. His fastball was off. His once-essential split-finger pitch was nonexistent. And so the Tigers bade farewell to a 34-year-old pitcher who had paid a nice dividend on an expensive three-year investment.
Doubling the Tigers' disinterest heading into 2013, Valverde's agent, Scott Boras, wanted a healthy check for a pitcher that even the ultimate salesman, Boras, was having a miserable time placing.
But that was before last week.
Two days before the team left for Minnesota, Dombrowski, Leyland and Co. determined Rondon needed more time at Triple A.
Now, though, Leyland was in a jam. As much as people want to believe there is nothing special about the ninth, that any good reliever can finish a game, for most teams it is imperative to have a ninth-inning blowaway artist.
1-for-2 not good enough
The Tigers got away with their all-for-one, one-for-all approach Monday. But the same guy who mowed down the Twins on Monday, Phil Coke, failed on Wednesday.
And it was at that moment Boras came to mind. During a conversation with him a couple of weeks ago, he mentioned that the Tigers would likely have 60 save opportunities in 2013. It was one way of saying that Dombrowski and Leyland better have someone trustworthy to tackle those ninths.
Two games into a new season, the Tigers had already faced two save opportunities and had done no better than halve them.
Thursday morning, Boras and the Tigers agreed to a deal that at least offers Valverde a shot at rescuing a team as he retrieves his career from deep twilight.
It's a marriage of mutual need, and maybe more so, of mutual desperation.
And it's all right to use that word: desperate. The Tigers can't afford to lose many games of the kind they fumbled away Wednesday. For now, they have a back-up plan in place. Valverde? It works for him, as well. He's one less member of America's unemployed.

Spartans coach Mark Dantonio is having a tough time settling on a quarterback. (Dale G. Young / Detroit News)
It�s time to take a deep, sober breath and objectively assess what we�ve seen so far, and try to determine if Michigan and Michigan State are really any good at football this season.
Oh, I know they�re a combined 7-1, but if you remove all the lame opponents � toss Notre Dame out with the trash, too � Michigan and Michigan State are a combined 0-0. And you know what that means? Time to panic!
No, no, that�s not what it means. As our local Big Ten tenants spend their bye week viewing gruesome, unedited tapes of interceptions, dropped passes and missed blocks, I�m here to offer a little perspective. Michigan is not the worst 4-0 team in America, only because Minnesota is 4-0. And Michigan State does not have the worst offense in America, only because � checking, checking � OK, yeah it does.
In some ways, the angst is healthy. Expectations are higher and fans demand more, so when the Spartans offense becomes a football version of the holiday classic �Little Drummer Boy� � puntpuntpuntpuntpunt, puntpuntpuntpunt � it�s not acceptable. When Mark Dantonio changes quarterbacks like most of us change underwear � twice a week, more often in case of an accident � that�s a problem.
And when Michigan has to hire a skywriter to fly over its own stadium and etch the message �Throw the ball to our guys!� that�s a problem too. The good news for Brady Hoke is, Michigan made it through the brutal part of its schedule, overcoming daunting odds to edge Akron and Connecticut, and now prepares for the mushy Big Ten.
What does it say about Michigan that it beat Akron and Connecticut by a combined seven points, but beat Notre Dame by 11? What does it say about Notre Dame? What does it say about Michigan State, which lost to Notre Dame? What does it say about me that I fill a column with inane rhetorical questions?!
It says nobody has any idea if the Wolverines and Spartans and Irish and Zips and Lions and Bears are remotely decent. Michigan State has a defense tough enough to dominate the NFC North, and an offense that would struggle to gain consecutive first downs against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Michigan pieced together needlessly dramatic comebacks and still plummeted to 18th in the poll. At this rate, the Wolverines will be 11-0 and ranked 43rd.
Now, Big Ten play is under way, as you can tell by the plaintive yelps across the Midwest. Ohio State is expected to wrap up the Lederhosen Division as early as Saturday night, when it hosts its only viable competitor, Wisconsin. But at least the Legionnaires Division is wide open, and dare I say Michigan, Michigan State and Northwestern are tri-favorites? I can�t add Nebraska because of the new Nebraska state law forbidding the use of force on opposing ballcarriers. Also, there�s a chance on any given Saturday that Bo Pelini�s head will spin 360 degrees and pop off.
But Michigan and Michigan State have a shot if they can fix teensy flaws, and by �teensy flaws,� I mean �incomprehensibly baffling flaws.� For instance, Dantonio has somewhere between zero and four quarterbacks, with the smart money on zero. This confuses him to the point where in key moments, he might ask a freshman receiver to heave a trick pass into triple coverage for a �change of pace.�
I�m not saying Dantonio�s judgment is shaky right now. I�m just saying, if he managed the Tigers, he�d bat Miguel Cabrera ninth for a �change of pace.� Normally, I�m not granted access during bye weeks, but I popped into Dantonio�s office and couldn�t believe what I saw (probably because I�m making it up).
There was Dantonio sitting in the corner, clutching four dolls with names taped to their backs. He was talking to them in a soothing voice, and periodically pounding them on the floor. The room was dark and he appeared to have a five-day growth of beard, although I could be mistaken.
Quarterbacks long have driven coaches batty. That�s also an issue right now for Hoke, who has watched Devin Gardner channel his inner gardener, sprinkling footballs around as if they were apple seeds. It doesn�t help that Michigan�s offensive line currently boasts the sturdiness and tenacity of a Little Debbie jelly roll.
Maybe the problem is Gardner�s No. 98 jersey. I�m no physics whiz, but it seems to me the curvaceous �9� and �8� are more cumbersome than the sleek �1� and �2,� and could be slowing him down. I know that makes absolutely no sense but nothing around here does, except for my always-astute picks.
The picks
■Wisconsin at Ohio State: While Michigan and Michigan State yearn for one stable quarterback, the gluttonous Urban Meyer hogs two. Braxton Miller returns from injury, but the star here actually might be Melvin Gordon of the Badgers. Don�t ask me how, but Wisconsin churns out running backs in higher volume than cheese curds. Ohio State 34-20
Iowa at Minnesota: Speaking of swine, these teams play for the cherished �Floyd of Rosedale,� a bronze pig statue that represents the size and mobility of Iowa and Minnesota players. This is a prime chance for Kirk Ferentz to remind people he still coaches at Iowa. Iowa 27-22
Oklahoma at Notre Dame: Notre Dame�s Brian Kelly is all proud of himself for his clever play-calling against Michigan State, which basically consisted of accepting questionable pass-interference penalties. Notre Dame�s game plan this week: Accept questionable offensive holding penalties! Notre Dame 30-24
