What is unique is each power filter is designed from the ground up with ultra modern features including dual water intake with surface skimmer, adjustable flow, maintenance monitor, self-cleaning impeller, and a filter basket that holds any kind of filtration media. But more importantly, the feed pump is already in the intake of the Seachem Tidal filter, so there is no priming required.

Isuzu Used Transmissions Market
If you are shopping for a used Isuzu automatic transmission (or manual) for your car, truck, van or SUV, then you came to the right place. Our network of salvage yards offers high quality Isuzu auto or truck transmissions with low mileage, great warranty and best customer service. Whether you need Isuzu 4-speed, 5-speed, 6-speed automatic or manual transmission (or transfer case) we can help you find the best one for your vehicle. Check out below some of our popular Isuzu transmissions.
Break Out A Used Isuzu Transmission at Salvage Auto
Isuzu has brought several models of cars with a different engine and transmission capacity. All of these have been considered hot rods and are planned and built to last a lifetime. But no matter how makers try to make it last for the longest time possible, it will eventually break down, and when it does, we are at a loss. Finding genuine replacements for an Isuzu car may be expensive. Insurance companies are automatically suggesting having used car transmissions and engines as replacements.
Don't Risk It
There are various salvage yards that sell used auto parts. But of course we don't want to take risks here. We tend to settle for only the best used Isuzu transmissions or engines. Money wouldn't matter here, quality would. Salvage Auto doesn't also sacrifice quality with affordability and that is what they are known for. Without the meddling middlemen, you are dealt with the wholesale price. What you see, is what you get. There are no added costs for shipping, too. Affordability and quality is what you get for your used Isuzu transmissions or engines.
Believe in Salvage Auto
Used transmission and engine bought at Salvage Auto is covered with the standard one-year warranty period for a total of 12,000 mileages. However, the warranty does not include any claims that may be due to improper engine lubrication or overheating of its components. But you don't have to worry because a used transmission or engine at Salvage Auto isn't just for a few starts and then instantly stops. Quality speaks here and this is what Salvage Auto believes in. Deal your used Isuzu transmissions only at Salvage Auto.

"A THOUSAND YEARS before the establishment of the Modern State of Israel, there existed a Jewish kingdom in the eastern fringes of Europe, astride the Don and Volga rivers…" So begins a thesis by Jewish author Kevin Alan Brook. The kingdom of which he speaks appears at first consideration to be comprised of nearly as much disinformation, misinformation, "myth"information, and, curiously, NO-information as there is actual provable historical fact. Yet upon closer scrutiny this kingdom, known as Khazaria, or the Kingdom of the Khazars, is clearly revealed in a vast body of historical evidence, much of which has come to light only in the last three to five decades.
This mysterious kingdom, which has sculpted our modern world to an astounding (and alarming) degree, once occupied an immense land area of over a million square miles extending from western Hungary/Austria eastward to the Aural Sea, north to the Upper Volga, and its southern region extending to the Caucasus Mountains between the Black and Caspian seas. It was at that time literally the largest country on earth. It has only been in the last several decades, however, that greater documented evidence from ancient manuscripts has come to light and revealed the astonishing historical truth of this ancient kingdom and its connection to the origins of modern-day Israel……… read on at the link above.

New single released December 2nd from rock artist Dirty Louie. Titled 'Suck It for the USA' it is not for the easily offended putting a twist on the classic story of a young girl coming to the city for the first time and her battle for acceptance. The music behind the controversial video is a solid rock track with a riff that hooks you in and a chorus that is bound to stick in your head.

All right, be honest, have you been thinking Casey Anthony has had it easy these last couple of years? Thinking after that jury said she didn't murder daughter Caylee, she got to waltz off into the sunset? Not. So. Fast.
The woman dubbed "Tot Mom" during her explosive murder trial back in 2011 is back out in public today at a bankruptcy hearing. Anthony is being forced to sit down with her creditors and explain how the heck she's been living if she's only got $1,000 in assets. There's been talk of some mystery benefactor over the years, and if it's true, that ship might be about to sail.
After all, who wants to be known as the person bankrolling Casey Anthony's cushy life? Not anyone with half a brain ... or sense of safety.
People hate this woman, and they're going to hate anyone who is helping her.
If you get a chance, just watch one of the videos of Casey walking (or should I say crouching and scuttling?) into the courthouse. You can hear reporters screaming, "Did you get away with murder Casey? Did you?" In the few shots of her face, you can see a deer caught in the headlights look, or maybe it's a "rabbit facing a hawk" look.
Either way, you get the sense that Casey Anthony knows exactly what America thinks of her, and it's not good, folks. It's not good. It's been nearly two years since her trial, and America hates her with a capital HATES.
OK, you say, so what? People hate her, but she's still living the good life, living off someone else's dime?
I'm not buying it. In life, we all want to be loved or at least LIKED. As the old saying goes, money can't buy happiness. No matter how many mystery benefactors are buying her laptops and puppy dogs, the fact is, she's still got to live with the seething anger of the American public.
That weighs on your psyche.
Even Anthony's lawyer, Charles Greene, has admitted:
You don't go from the most hated woman in the world, according to some media outlets, to being a normal person or being able to live a normal life.
And yet, somehow I don't see bankruptcy proceedings exactly helping her public profile. She's asking to be excused from nearly $800,000 in debts, including half a million owed to Jose Baez, the lawyer who successfully got her off a murder rap. If there's one thing America hates, it's a deadbeat.
What, exactly, does she hope to get out of this? She's going to have to reveal who is feeding her money, which could make them go running. She has had to show us her face again (interesting to note that she's gone back to the long brown hair after changing up her appearance on us for a bit there). AND she's royally pissing us all off again.
So does this mean we should suddenly be sympathetic for ol' Casey? Of course not. Most of America still thinks she killed her kid, and if she did, she's lower than pond scum.
But maybe it's time we stop envying what we think she's "getting away" with. Because I don't know about you, but I wouldn't trade places with Casey Anthony for any amount of money.
Do you think Casey Anthony is living a good life these days?

Quiet Evening in Maryland
The Artist and The Fitness Gal are gone to youth group and the kids and I are on our own for the evening. We played a game of Farkle and the 4 year old gave us quite a run for our money! Baby Girl won in the end though.
Tomorrow, The Traveller will be coming in and we are going on a picnic to Cunningham Falls State Park and hike up to the waterfall. Monday we are headed home.
Today Fitness Gal took me to a wonderful bookstore crammed with old books in Waynesboro, Pa. They had a stack of John Dickson Carr books! And a good stack of Agatha Christie books that I have not read. I exercised restraint and only bought one of each. 'Cards on the Table' by Christie and 'It Walks By Night' by Carr. I saw a review today on the Christie book over at The Book Jotter and thought I have to have that book and there it was! That's one of those little Joy moments! Also got 'Past Malice' by Dana Cameron on the $1 table. In Berkley Springs, W.V. On Wed. I found three good ones at a used bookstore there...'Elsie Dinsmore #1'. another Carr - 'The Three Coffins' and a double book by John Buchan.
After a brief intermission to wash the dog (after she rolled in horse poo!) the kids fed the horses some grass and carrots
We gave up on the deer coming out tonight and came in to get ready for bed, pop some popcorn and watch 'Tin Tin'. I've never seen it and the kids are so excited to show it to me. Baby Girl is going to marry Tin Tin, you know!q

Lovely post. We have been watching the super moonReplyDeleteReplies
It got real cloudy here and we couldn't see it:(Delete
What a wonderful place to bring up kids and it's near a good second-hand bookshop, it sounds and looks like heaven. Great haul of books.ReplyDeleteReplies
That's what I said when I got in that old bookshop, I'm in heaven! We have none near my house. Yes this is a great location and it is beautiful here sitting down in a valley. The neighbor has a peacock too and you should hear him when he calls! No kids around though for the kids to play with.Delete
One of the many joys of buying books is the remembrance of where and when they were bought. Just looking at them brings back a vacation memory. The best of souvenirs!ReplyDelete
I'd love to see (have!) horses in a field.
Hi Peggy,ReplyDelete
It sounds like an idyllic place to raise children, it's just a pity that they don't have any playmates to interact with.
Looks as though you have been enjoying some warm Spring sunshine. Here in Somerset, UK, after a mini heatwave in March, April was the wettest on record and May isn't looking much better .. and it isn't even warm! The good news is that we are still officially in a drought situation and are likely to remain so all year!!!!! ...
I can't believe that you were so restrained with the Agatha Christie purchases, I wouldn't have been able to help myself!!
I keep setting myself a book buying ban until I have got through some of my TBR mountain .... it just can't be done, there is too much temptation in the charity shops, where books can be bought at very reasonable prices.
A lovely family post, thanks for sharing.
I've read the two John Buchans I think, certainly 39 Steps, and loved them. I'm slightly odd in that I prefer dramatised Agatha Christies to the books - Poirot, Miss Marple and so on - huge favourites with me.ReplyDelete
Such a lovely area you live in. I know Maryland a little bit as we have friends in Pittsburgh and have visited them and travelled through PA and Maryland to Baltimore. From there we went down the long peninsula (can't remember the name for it) to the Chesapeake Bay bridge and crossed that to Virginia. What a wonderful holiday that was.
I love your blog so will be following it from now on.Replies
Cath, thanks for stopping over! I live just north of Pittsburgh, this is my sons home in MD. and it is a very beautiful area. Lots of history too! I really prefer those wonderful Mystery shows of agatha C. also but occasionally like to read the book. Talk to you later!Delete
Ah, I missed the little sentence, 'Monday we are headed home'. Our friends too live just north of Pittsburgh, Gibsonia to be precise. We've visited several times and love their area to bits and are longing to go back. One day hopefully. I don't know what you call the English equivilent of an American Anglophile... English people who adore America that is... but that's my husband and myself.Delete

Australia called on the world to match its tough new anti-tobacco marketing laws after its highest court on Wednesday dismissed a challenge from global cigarette companies, although few of Asia's emerging economies appeared likely to follow suit.
The decision means that from December 1 cigarettes and tobacco products must be sold in plain olive green packets without special colorful branding. Instead, packages must display graphic health warnings including pictures of mouth cancer and other smoking-related illnesses.
Tobacco giants British American Tobacco, Britain's Imperial Tobacco, Philip Morris and Japan Tobacco challenged the laws in Australia's High Court, claiming the rules were unconstitutional because they effectively extinguished their intellectual property rights.
In a brief statement, the High Court said a majority of its seven judges believed the laws did not breach Australia's constitution. A full judgment will be released later.
The laws are in line with World Health Organisation recommendations and are being watched closely by Britain, Norway, New Zealand, Canada and India, who are considering similar measures to help fight smoking.
The World Health Organisation estimates that more than 1 billion people around the world are regular smokers, with 80% in low- and middle-income countries.
Australian Attorney-General Nicola Roxon hailed the ruling as "a watershed moment for tobacco control around the world".
"The message to the rest of the world is big tobacco can be taken on and beaten," said Roxon, whose father, a smoker, died of cancer when she was 10.
"Without brave governments willing to take the fight up to big tobacco, they'd still have us believing that tobacco is neither harmful nor addictive," she said after the ruling.
In Indonesia, the government said it would like to follow Australia's example. "That's excellent … this is one way to protect the people," Health Minister Nafsiah Mboi told Reuters.
However, an anti-tobacco campaigner said that would be difficult to achieve because of a strong industry lobby in Indonesia.
Tulus Abadi, head of the national commission on tobacco control, said there had been little movement from the government on a draft law to include graphic warnings on cigarette packets like those in Australia.
Indonesia's approximately 65 million smokers consumed about 230 billion cigarettes in 2010. Cigarette packages there currently carry a written warning about the health dangers of smoking.
Graphic images of cancers and gum disease are also shown on packets in Thailand, where official figures showed 13 million adults smoked tobacco in 2011, including 46.6% of men.
An official at the Thai Ministry of Public Health, who asked not to be identified, said there were no plans to change existing packaging laws.
In India, where an estimated 175 million people smoke, there was no immediate official reaction. In June, the country's most populous state of Uttar Pradesh increased the value-added tax on cigarettes to 50% from 17.5%. Analysts say other states are likely to follow.
New Zealand's Associate Health Minister Tariana Turia said the decision gave New Zealand more confidence to push ahead with its planned plain-packaging measures.
The Australian decision is still a blow to tobacco companies and ends any domestic Australian challenges to plain packaging. British American Tobacco Australia said the measures would fuel a black market for cigarettes.
"It's still a bad law that will only benefit organized crime groups, which sell illegal tobacco on our streets," BAT Australia spokesman Scott McIntyre said after the decision, his comments echoed by other companies involved.
McIntyre, however, said the company would comply with the laws.
Industry analysts are worried that plain-package laws could spread to emerging markets such as Brazil, Russia and Indonesia and threaten sales growth. The court's decision was welcomed by anti-smoking groups.
"We hope other nations follow Australia's lead and eliminate the use of tobacco packaging as a marketing tool, to help reduce the global tobacco death toll — which is on track to reach half a billion people this century," said Australia's Cancer Council chief executive Ian Olver.
The plain packaging rules do, however, still face a number of challenges under global trade rules.
Australia is already fighting trade complaints in the World Trade Organization (WTO) from Ukraine, Honduras and the Dominican Republic, which claim the laws unfairly restrict trade, although their trade with Australia is negligible.
Philip Morris also said it would launch a legal challenge against the laws under a bilateral Australia-Hong Kong investment agreement.
"There is still a long way to go before all the legal questions about plain packaging are fully explored and answered," PML spokesman Chris Argent said in a statement.
Companies could also use a proposed new Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal to mount a further challenge if the TPP agreement includes controversial investor-state dispute settlement provisions.
Australia strongly opposes lobbying by big business to include such provisions in the TPP because that would undermine the ability of a government to pass domestic laws.

Sounds like an emotional roller coaster, doesn't it? That's what it felt like, and that's why after my experience I swore off all medications that could mess with my brain like that. I'm not saying that the medications don't work or that someone taking something for depression or anxiety should stop- this is just my personal experience and opinion. I decided to find another way and began reading up more on diet and exercise, especially after a friend of mine posted this:
Another dear friend of mine had suggested yoga to me a few times for the body and mind, so I decided to begrudgingly give it a try. I wasn't sure what standing around in crazy poses and saying words like "Namaste" was supposed to do for my mind & body, but I figured I'd give it a shot and see what the hype was all about.
I found this beginner yoga video on Youtube and I pinned it to my exercise board
After making it through this 20 minute video I cried.
Yes, I cried.
Why? I couldn't tell you.

Hey yall!
Two posts in two days.
That must be some kind of record
But I can't really take credit, because sweet Cara gave me an out.
She is hosting a weekly linky party called Throwback Thursday. Its all about sharing some of those oldie {but goodie} posts that some new faces might appreciate.
Sign me up!
Now, this was a post that I actually wrote for when I was guest blogging and I think I may have also added it to Endless Pinabilities, but don't think I ever actually posted it here. So this may be new to some of yall familiar faces as well!
******Originally posted on May 27, 2012******I'm not sure about you guys, but I am officially on summer break...yahoo! My goal for this summer is to create some of those awesome crafts I've been 'pinning.' It's going to be a crafty kind of summer, for sure!
How many of you have pinned the crayon wreaths?
It was one of the first things I pinned, and I desperately wanted to make one! So....I did!
It was really easy. Here are the materials needed:
*Crayons (I used a 64 pack of Crayolas)
*Hot glue
*2 different sized embroidery hoops. I can't remember the exact sizes I bought, but it doesn't really matter. You just need 2 different sized hoops, where one can fit inside the other.
*White acrylic paint
*Wood letters
*Assorted colors acrylic paint
*White acrylic paint
*Wood letters
*Assorted colors acrylic paint
Ready for these easy steps???
1. Put the smaller hoop inside the larger hoop. Keep the spacing the same all the way around the hoop. I painted both of my hoops white, but you could definitely keep it the natural wood color.
2. Arrange the crayons on the hoop...have fun with it! I put mine all with the label facing up and did all the colors, but you could totally just pick your favorite colors or do some type of pattern.
3. Start gluing! Glue one crayon at a time, so that you can keep your spacing somewhat even. Also, don't use too much glue, or it will just melt the wax.
4. Wrap the ribbon around a couple of crayons at the top and glue.
5. Paint the wooden letters however you like, and glue them on.
5. Paint the wooden letters however you like, and glue them on.
Simple, right? I made these as gifts for a couple of teachers, and I love the way they turned out!
I used letters to represent their last names, and I found those little wooden apple cutouts at Hobby Lobby. I just painted them, then wrote their names inside with a sharpie.
Hope you guys are inspired to go make your own! I probably spent less than $20 on the materials for all 3 wreaths, so it was pretty inexpensive to make!

India has recorded the biggest year-on-year decline in online freedom of any country, with the US firmly planted in the chasing pack, according to not-for-profit Freedom House's latest annual Freedom on the Net report.
As the name suggests, the report examines trends in internet freedom in 60 countries across the globe, with each assessed and scored in three overall areas: "obstacles to access", "limits on content", and "violation of user rights".
The world's most populous democracy recorded a "significant" downward trajectory of eight points, with the US, Venezuela and Brazil dropping 5 points.
India is still ranked as "partly free", compared to Asian countries like China, Pakistan and Vietnam which are described as "not free", but now sits just one point above Rwanda in the overall rankings and a point behind Cambodia.
However, it was criticised over the year for "deliberate interruptions of mobile and internet service to limit unrest, excessive blocks on content during rioting in north-eastern states, and an uptick in the filing of criminal charges against ordinary users for posts on social media sites".
On the latter, the report points out that at least 11 users were charged under the "IT Act" for posting or liking posts on Facebook, because they were deemed "annoying, offensive or menacing".
Freedom House also expressed concern at the lack of transparency surrounding the controversial Central Monitoring System:
The system's potential for abuse – already widely documented under the existing surveillance regime – is also disquieting as is its inadequate legal framework. Outdated laws require case-by-case clearance by high-level officials for wiretaps, for example, but are insufficient to regulate a system capable of mass location-based cellphone monitoring.
The report also criticises "misguided court orders" which have resulted in harsh content blocks – for example in February this year when over 100 web sites became inaccessible.
For the record, Asia as a whole is not doing too well according to Freedom House, with only Japan and the Philippines rated as "free".
Despite the "significant" decline in the ranking of the United States thanks to the NSA surveillance revelations, it still remains a "free" country and in joint third in the report, with Australia in fifth place and the UK in tenth. ®

National Novel Writing Month: November 1-30, 2012
National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) is an annual writing challenge / literary marathon in which participants pledge to write a 50,000 word short novel in thirty days (which works out to 1,667 words of original fiction, or 4-5 single-space typed pages, per day). The premise is based on the idea that, in NaNoWriMo founder Chris Baty's words, "The biggest thing separating people from their artistic ambitions is not a lack of talent. It's the lack of the deadline." NaNoWriMo provides that deadline and connects aspiring authors with a worldwide community of fellow writers sharing the same dream.
NaNoWriMo began in 1999 with a mere nineteen participants in the San Francisco area. By last year, it had grown to over 250,000 authors worldwide, with even more expected to enter this year. In 2011, the Birmingham area alone had 376 registered participants, producing over 140 winning novels and writing over 7,000,000 words of fiction. While the vast majority of NaNo novels never see publication, there are many well-known and bestselling authors who participate, such as Sara Gruen (Water for Elephants), Erin Morgenstern (The Night Circus), and Birmingham's own Lou Anders (editorial director of Pyr Books).
How it works: Go to the website www.nanowrimo.org and set up an author account. There are a plethora of online forums for authors to connect with others working in the same genres, doing research, or seeking advice on how to squeeze in all that writing time. On November 1, start writing. Each day authors are invited to update the word count total on their profile so that other writers can compare it to their own. At the end of the month, the official NaNoWriMo word counters check each writer's work for length – nothing else – and those who have crossed the 50,000 word finish line are awarded the status of "Winner!"
NaNoWriMo is not like traditional writing contests. Entries are not judged by any merit other than length, authors do not compete against each other, and the final prize is not publication. Instead, at the end of the month, NaNoWriMo winners have achieved that which is most difficult for any author to create – a finished first draft and the pride of accomplishment. Many people dream about "one day" writing a book. NaNoWriMo participants are living that dream now.

Attend a Volunteer Information Session
to get started!
Sessions are held on the fourth Wednesday of every month at 5PM at Dog Services
We are able to provide our "guests" with a high quality of life due in large part to the efforts of many dedicated volunteers. Because most of the dogs who come through our doors are strays—and we have no history on them— safety is our number one priority. From our housekeeping team to working with dogs or helping out in the offices, we want to make the most of your unique skills! The habits our volunteers teach the dogs are critical skills that help them get adopted and then stay in their new home – truly life-saving work.
To volunteer at Dog Services, you must:
- pass a background check
- be prepared to volunteer at least 8 hours per month for 6 months
- attend orientation/training classes and follow instructions
- commit to regularly scheduled volunteer times
- be able to squat, bend, twist, lift and stand for long periods of time when working directly with animal care
- work well with people – all volunteer positions work directly with staff, other volunteers and the public
- comply with Clackamas County ordinances
Age requirements
- 8-15-year-olds can volunteer with a parent present.
- 16-17-year-olds may volunteer with parent approval.
- You must be at least 18 years old to handle dogs.
Volunteer programs
Admin Support
It takes a lot of organization to keep Dog Services running, and we can always use help with filing, data input, processing mail and follow-up phone calls.
Supporting the Clackamas Dogs Foundation helps support Dog Services programs. If you have non-profit and fundraising experience, or simply want to help with fundraising events, this is for you!
Foster Program
Volunteers work with dogs in their home that need additional training or have special medical needs. This support helps lay a foundation and teaches skills for these dogs to be successful in their adopted homes and out in world. Your help helps them!
Help keep a clean, healthy environment for our guests with tasks such as cleaning, laundry, dishes, stuffing Kongs, poop patrol and more.
Shifts available Mon-Sat, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Looking for somewhere to intern this semester? We are happy to help you sharpen your workplace skills!
Sit. Stay. Read.
Volunteers sit outside a dog's kennel and simply read aloud. This program is for all ages but is encouraged for children who want to work on their reading skills in front of a nonjudgmental audience.
Shifts available Mon-Sat, 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Potty Walking
Rain or shine, dogs appreciate the chance to get outside to relieve themselves.

My FootDr Podiatry continues our tradition of pioneering the world's finest footcare products in Australia. We are the first providers, outside of the United States, of the unique TAG Brace which is one of the most innovative products ever offered to diabetic and fracture patients.
Toad Medical's TAG Brace utilises patented prosthetic suspension technology, completely unloading the foot and ankle complex and eliminating pressure and shear which has been proven successful on patients that weigh up to 260kg! The TAG Brace has the ability to heal the most stubborn of foot ulcerations.
The TAG Brace is the premier choice for Charcot's Foot, lower limb fractures and reconstructions that require unloading such as distal tibia, foot, ankle and metatarsal fractures.
By enabling the patient to ambulate during recovery time without the need for crutches, muscular atrophy is dramatically reduced while allowing the patient to apply weight to the rest of the skeletal structure to maintain bone density and stability.
"I believe that with modern wound care techniques coupled with next-generation offloading technology such as Toad Medical's Anti-Gravity Brace, we can dramatically reduce the severity of wounds and amputations, worldwide."
David G. Armstrong, DPM, MD, PhD
Professor of Surgery and Director
Southern Arizona Limb Salvage Alliance (SALSA)
The Challenge
A significant majority of ulcerations are located on the plantar surface of the foot. Due to lack of vascular supply, sensation, and the extreme pressures and friction on the foot during ambulation, many of these ulcerations will turn to amputation because of our inability to completely unload the foot. Toad Corporation has now developed the first unloading brace to 100% unload the lower extremity.
The Statistics
- Every 30 seconds, a leg is lost due to complications from diabetes.
- There are 25.8 million diabetics in the U.S, 79 million pre-diabetic and 7 million undiagnosed. 285 million diabetics in the World. Estimated to be 550 million by 2030.
- Up to 25% of those with diabetes will develop a foot ulcer.
- Approximately 15% of those will require amputation.
- That is over 72 million patients with ulcerations.
- Approximately 156,000 amputations per year in the U.S.
- Australia is currently the second worst in the developed world, behind the United States with approximately 85 amputations per week.
Current Indications
- Diabetic Ulcers
- Foot Fractures
- Low Ankle Fractures
- Venous Stasis Ulcers
- Charcot Arthropathy
- Foot or Ankle Deformities
- Foot or Ankle Fusions
- Foot or Ankle Reconstructions
- Traumatic Foot or Ankle Wounds
- Light-weight and comfortable carbon fibre.
- Greatly reduces muscular atrophy and disuse osteopenia and instability brought on by inactivity during recovery.
- Eliminates pressure and sheer on lower limb fractures and joint reconstructions.
- Supports patients up to 260 kg.
- Increases patient compliance.
- Extremely cost effective.
- No tourniquet effect – patella tendon loading.
- Rapidly heals diabetic foot ulcers.
To have this custom made TAG Brace fitted, you will require an appointment with one of our podiatrists and orthotist. Please enquire about an appointment using our booking form.

It is an honor to be with you today. I am intimidated by the talent and sheer will power represented here to increase the peace. You are doing God's work, but in many ways, peace is a job for human beings. We are the violent ones. We are the conflicted ones.
And, to be clear, there is no peace without conflict.
Peace is not the absence of conflict so much as it is the absence of violence: absence of physical violence, absence of psychological violence, of emotional and spiritual violence.
But conflict? That is essential to peace.
The conflict I am talking about is the struggle for all of those things people need in order to have a decent life.
Things like healthy food and clean water and breathable air. Things like shelter and personal security. Then there is family and community, we need those for survival, too. And creative artistic expression of all kinds is essential to our lives as well.
When faced with a threat to any one of these basic needs, tension rises, with stress, fear, anger and confusion all mixed together, and suddenly our minds are racing for solutions.
The easiest and quickest solution is violence. Take what we want and the hell with it. Live first, and let God sort out the consequences.
It is so much more difficult to negotiate our way through a high-pressure moment, no doubt. It is risky. It takes patience, it takes time and a willingness to understand the other person's point of view, and it requires that we stay focused on solving the immediate problem so that violence is avoided.
Yet, the easy, violent route leads to a rough road which is hard to travel. Systems based on threat are high-maintenance and expensive.
In America, we work for a living under the threat of being fired. School children try to learn under the threat of failing a test. African Americans, Latinos and other human beings marginalized by the system walk the streets under threat of arrest or even death.
However, when conflict is negotiated and threat is put in its place, those same systems become user-friendly. For example, an employee who shows up for work just to keep from getting fired is going to do a mediocre job at best. But give that same employee a sense of inclusion in the company, a living wage and some respect, and you have a motivated person doing quality work. Students who are taught how to learn and why they are learning instead of being taught how to pass a test, those students become active learners because someone has done the very difficult work of communicating and negotiating with the students, listening to the students, and working to get to where learning is the goal and test-taking is just a tool, and the threat of failing is no longer the reason for being in class. And law enforcement officials who sincerely live the code of "Protect and Serve" for everyone equally? They create safe, cooperative neighborhoods where people can come and go without fear, and where the police themselves feel safe walking those same streets.
The peace of government should be negotiated in the conflict arena of public opinion. When a democracy is functioning properly, the politicians truly work for the people. That is not and has never really been the case in America. But in many ways our dysfunctional government today is the people's fault, the people's responsibility. During the last presidential election in 2012, only 6 of every 10 registered voters bothered to vote. And last year's national elections? Only a few more than 3 of every 10 registered voters in America spoke out. No wonder the politicians do not care about the needs of the general population. Political campaign money comes from the wealthy one percent. The rich have the politicians' attention. We the people who are in need of good roads, health care, quality education, and a truly just justice system are not even showing up to vote. Why would the politicians concern themselves with us?
Still, pause for a moment and imagine if voters did get involved in the political conflict like you have gotten involved here today. Imagine if 9 out of 10 registered voters voted. No matter how much money was poured into the election, the voice of the people would still be heard. If 9 out of 10 people voted, politicians would see their bosses everywhere they went: in the stores, in the streets, in the schools, everywhere. And if the people demanded health care that worked, they would get it. If the people demanded schools that served all children equally, the politicians would allocate our tax money toward education. If the people wanted accountability in the justice system, there would either be accountability in the system or there would be accountability in the next election. Our vote is an act of conflict to increase the peace. The voting booth is where the national peace can be won and maintained. I would remind you that there is an election coming next year. Please show up in that voting booth. And bring someone with you who may not have voted last year.
But for now, you and I and the rest of America who are not crazy rich, we are busy working jobs, paying bills, raising children, maybe taking in a movie or going out to eat once a month if we have a few bucks left. We are doing what we can and that feels like a full plate. Which is why it is so amazing that you are here today with Keshia, who teaches children and young adults, and Leroy, who sweats the words and reminds us "Let's Get It! Let's Go!", and Javier, who spins all kinds of vibes, musical and beyond, and so many other good people, great performers and organizations who have made the time today to increase the peace; that is a super human effort, that is heroic and noble. This is the model the world needs to see and hear about, good people working every day to sustain a system that does not put us all under threat, but instead shows us how our voices matter and how our efforts can change the direction of the world, little by little: one day without violence, one conflict negotiated, one child saved from threat. One less riot. One less war. This is the conflict that maintains the peace and opens up a future we have yet to experience.

Looking back. Looking forward.
As we begin 2014, we wanted to share with you some reflections on the past year.
The Congregation at EBM
As we began 2013, the congregation had only begun to share times of worship within the new Skainos building. Some people occasionally spoke of 'missing something' about the old church, even though it was hard to pinpoint the reason. Alongside the tasks of supporting congregational life, one theme has been providing a steady presence to help people "settle in" to everything that is new.
As the year unfolded in worship, prayer, and simple acts of service to the community, we ended the year feeling more familiar with our surroundings.
There have been testing times along the way; 2013 began with a shadow of tension in the community due to ongoing issues of national identity and a lack of ownership in the political process. Some of the 'flag protests' led to gatherings which morphed into violence between protestors and the police along the road beside EBM. There have been some major changes to the team at EBM which has caused great stress for many.
There were also significant moments of experiencing God's grace as a congregation. At our Mission anniversary service, we invited people to place a stone which represented some way that they had known God's presence in this place. All piled together on our new communion table, the stones reminded us that God's presence has guided the Mission throughout it's past and we can continue to trust God for the future.
The vision of the Skainos project to be a place of healing and renewal for this hurting community has unfolded in a beautiful way. A steady stream of people have flowed through the site from a wide variety of backgrounds.
People have come:
- to meet friends in the cafe
- to enjoy poetry and music nights
- to learn the Irish language
- to meet with an AA group
- for help in times of crisis
- for children's and youth clubs and activities
- and for so many other reasons….
Counseling at EBM
Along with the numbers of people visiting Skainos, so too the number of people looking for counseling has grown. We now provide 100 hours of counseling per month, shared among Alison, Eileen, and four volunteers. It's a challenge to resist the urge to hurry people along.
The past six months has been a special, if not hard time for Alison. She had one violent person, which made the mission assess safety. Once she recovered from that shock, there was a clear sense that most people were just thankful to have care. On a lighter note, we were able to fund for book shelves, a filing cabinet, and new pictures thanks to IKEA and Ellie's good taste in art! Interestingly, one picture has a yellow flower and a little word inscribed "hope". More than one time, a client has paused to look at the picture and say, "that is what I long for in my life". It sums up what the counseling team strive to do – to walk alongside people and discover deeper meaning in their search for hope.
Alison has also offered counseling over Skype to a few individuals serving with Global ministries around the world this is a welcomed opportunity to help other missionaries in the context of faith.
Reaching out to new people
Another theme this year has been finding ways of reaching out to new people, offering pastoral care and support to those who receive meals on wheels from EBM, and also those living in apartments on site. In December, Britt and others offered three dinners allowing space for people to express doubts and questions about God. One woman shared a feeling that God was punishing her. Another man shared how broken relationships have led to depression. These conversations over a shared meal have led to new relationships; some of them have come asking for more "God-talk" over dinner. We look forward to what this may bring.
Supporting Edgehill Theological College
Another part of our ministry over the past year has been extending support to Edgehill Theological College (the seminary for the Methodist Church in Ireland). Over the past year Britt has assisted the staff team by meeting regularly with four students, and Alison has been invited to share a 3 day seminar on listening skills with the students this May. These times have added interesting variety to our work.
As 2014 unfolds, we do not know what joys and struggles lie ahead. As we have served at the Mission we have seen promises fulfilled and have also walked through significant turmoil and our faith has been stretched. However, for today, we know and trust that God is at work in the lives of people here. He is constant and ever present. It is to this truth we cling.
In God's Peace, Britt, Alison, Ellie, Emily & Jake
Barbara Drew permalinkJanuary 20, 2014 4:47 pm
What a beautiful family you have and I can't believe how they have grown…..you all look happy in your family picture and I know it is because God's love shines thru you and I pray His blessings on you and all you do in His name there. Still miss you at First Methodist!
Take care Barbara Drew

Well, the pig-ass media made no mention of the naughty words or more far-sighted demands made by some of the protestors (i.e., ending to policing system and capitalist-imperialist state it is attached to.) The liberals can rest ez 2nite…

On 23 August 2017, the Victorian Minister for Consumer Affairs, Gaming and Liquor Regulation officially launched CPRC, Australia's first ever consumer-focused think tank. Held at Victorian Parliament House, the event was attended by over 70 representatives from consumer organisations, academia, industry and consumer-focused government agencies.
Attendees heard from an expert panellists Michele Levine, CEO Roy Morgan Research, Paul Harrison, Co-founder Centre of Employee and Consumer Wellbeing and Riki Polygenis, Head of Australian Economics, NAB discussing some of the key trends impacting Australian consumers today. A robust conversation across the economics, market research and consumer behaviour fields – the panellists debated topics from how we define a 'fair outcome', to the importance of considering the marginal consumer, the risk of 'responsibilisation' in decision making, shrinkflation, through to the role of research in the policy cycle.
This rich conversation is emblematic of the approach of the CPRC – bringing together different disciplines and sectors to have an evidence-based conversation about the issues facing consumers. For anyone unable to attend on the day, you can view this thoughtful discussion below in a recording of the day.
Responding to the challenges consumers face, CPRC Chair, Ronda Held, also set out the CPRC research priorities. Ronda outlined a fivefold program focusing on:
- Housing – the changing structure of markets and impacts at different life stages;
- When things go wrong – assessing the effectiveness of redress processes;
- Making consumer decisions easier and fairer – building greater understanding of what can assist consumers in the decision-making process and improved business practice;
- Living online – data, comparisons and online purchases in a changing environment;
- Annual Consumer Index – Providing consumers, industry and government some ongoing measurement of consumer use and satisfaction from consumer markets.
A link to the research priorities announced can be accessed here.

I've been paralyzed for the past few days following the historic events unfolding in Egypt. I studied in Egypt in 2009, and I spent a year researching the April 6th Youth Movement (A6YM), an Egyptian political opposition group that played a significant role in organizing the initial protests that have since morphed into a national uprising. There are a few things that my research on social media in Egyptian opposition movements can add to the understanding of what's happening in Egypt.
Obvious as it may seem, this didn't "just happen."
Clearly, the unrest in Egypt was sparked by the apparent successful uprising in Tunisia. And it is generally understood that economic, political, and social conditions in Egypt have deteriorated over the past thirty years. Still, one cannot simply draw a straight line from the events in Tunisia to what is happening in Egypt. An underlying fabric of opposition has existed for years in Egypt, growing larger and more efficient with the aid of social media tools, and it is this existing opposition which made possible the protests that snowballed into open revolt.
So far as opposition politics are concerned, the Muslim Brotherhood tends to draw the most attention in Egypt. As has been reported though, they were not involved in organizing the initial protest on January 25, but have since joined in. Instead, it was the Kefaya movement (Arabic for Enough!), and particularly the digitally connected April 6th Youth Movement (A6YM) that pushed for the January 25 protest and got the word out. You can read about the origins of A6YM and the challenges they face in opposing the Egyptian state here (Wired, 2008) and here (New York Times Magazine, 2009).
Looking back on some of my notes on A6YM, in interviews with its leadership, I was told repeatedly that they are frustrated by the media's attempts to pigeonhole their movement as merely an internet phenomenon (see "Slacktivism"). A6YM made it clear that using social media tools like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube etc. were extensions and intensifiers of traditional forms of social interactions, not replacements for them. The bulk of their work is done on the streets, organizing protests through traditional means (flyers, posters, SMS, word of mouth), campaigning at universities, and engaging with neighborhood leaders. Buzz terms like "Twitter Revolution" steal attention and trend well, but rob the activists of their role in generating street action.
Still, leaders in A6YM understand the important role social media can play in social movements and opposition politics. The group gets its name from a strike they organized on April 6, 2008. The Facebook group they created quickly grew to over 70,000 members (today it is over 87,000). The success of this first strike and the buzz generated provided the group with a pool of people who identified with the aims of A6YM by joining the Facebook group. On the group's page are links to its website and Twitter account, and the email addresses and mobile numbers of local leaders. A6YM's social media presence makes it easy for someone who wants to get involved with the group to find the right person to talk to.
Since their founding, A6YM has struggled to duplicate the success they had in generating attention in 2008. This has less to do with the supposed pitfalls of online organizing (as Malcom Gladwell recently wrote about in the New Yorker, perhaps regrettably) and more to do with the strength of the Egyptian state security apparatus. Egypt's emergency law, which has been in effect since the assassination of Anwar Sadat in 1981, provides security forces with immense powers, including the ability to arrest and jail without trial, and banning gatherings greater than five people. Given these powers, small protests and periodic disruptions were simple matters for Egyptian state security. The open revolt that Egypt now faces changes the calculus that Egyptian security considers when in conflict with opposition. Put simply, they can't arrest everyone.
To sum up, social media played a key role and continues to play a key role in organizing opposition. It is not the opposition, though. It is both a communication tool and a social relationship intensifier, due to its ability to continue a relationship despite time and distance (think of your Facebook relationship with you aunt in Florida). Just as businesses and non-profits use social media to sell products and communicate with their constituents, social movements use social media to organize and take action.
And what happens if Mubarak falls? It seems lots of people want you to believe it will be something like this:
I'm much more optimistic.

All Saints Day History
For Roman Catholic and Orthodox faiths, All Saints Day honors exemplary Christians who achieved sainthood. This includes unknown Christians and Martyrs who have attained beatific vision (a form of direct knowledge and communication with God).
For many Christian denominations, all Saints Day is a remembrance of departed Christian people of any time and place. Many churches remember the persons in their congregations that have died during the previous year. Churches also celebrate Holy Communion in honor of the Christians who lived before them.

Larry Kent
Created by Ron Ingleby
"It was an underground joint. A neon sign in read and blue and yellow flashed on and off over the stone steps. The neon sign showed kicking girls and glasses of bubbly stuff. But you were just as likely to get a Mickey Finn down there as you were to get a glass of champagne."
-- "Get Me Homicide"
He hates crime and he's been known to sport a bow tie! He's LARRY KENT and he first made his debut as a half-hour program, I Hate Crime, a half-hour show on Australian radio in 1950, created by Ron Ingleby, a prolific writer for radio.
Originally a newshound from the Big Apple, Kent emigrated to Australia and set himself up business as a private eye. Like his counterparts at the time back in the States, Kent was always getting into trouble, but that never prevented him from appreciating the female form. His favourite pasttime was, he frequently reminded us, "Watching the blondes go by."
It may have been all clichés, but the series proved to be quite popular and over 150 episodes were produced, which in turn inspired Cleveland Publishing of Sydney to try their hand at some Larry Kent novels. In April 1954, the first series of monthly novelettes appeared, for a shilling each, with a second series following the subsequent year.
Amazingly, eventually over 400 Larry Kent novels and novelettes were pumped out under the Larry Kent byline in the next thirty years, and supposedly, as late as the 1990s, the series was still being produced in Scandinavia. The covers usually featured paintings of leggy, full-figured babes and sported such snappy (and often exclamation mark-endowed) titles as Kill Me a Little!, This Way, Sucker!, Cute Heat!, Dig Me a Dame! and Stand Up and Die! Add on the 150 or so radio shows, and our Larry turns out to be one of the hardest working eyes around...
The printed stories returned Larry to the States, mostly New York City, where he continued working as a P.I., smoking Luckies and drinking whisky. His stomping grounds are pure New York, full of Harlem nightclubs and Manhatten steakhouses, but he did occassionally venture further afield, to Vegas, South America, Los Angeles, Berlin, Cuba and even New Jersey. And he even made it to Australia a few times, in Deadline Down Under, The Nitty Griity, Death Call and The Big Grab.
Possibly American-born, Ingleby began writing for theatre and radio in the late 1930s/early 1940s in Australia, occasionally lending his vocal talents to radio productions. Besides I Hate Crime, he wrote several other radio serials, most notably The Western Trail, and contributed to several other series.
Ingleby may have written the radio shows, but he never wrote any of the books. Among those who did write under the Larry Kent name were Don Haring, an American like Larry who settled in Australia after WWII, and died in the 1980s, and Des R. Dunn from Queensland. But it's hard to tell who wrote what, really. They were squirted out so quickly that accurate copyright info and author attribution would have only slowed them down.
Although the books were decidedly hokey pulp affairs, and by no means great literature, the covers themselves have a gorgeously cheesy flavour, and are now quite collectible. In fact, most of the web sites featuring Kent deal as much with the covers than the contents of the books.

I asked this in stack overflow but I guess autohotkey isn't sufficiently coding related. So I hope asking here is OK
So I'm trying to learn autohotkey scripts and the documentation is lacking at best. First, can authotkey read commands and perform actions and such inside a virtual machine? I have a windows host and a linux virtual machine running eclipse. I'd like to get a hostring (or a keyboard macro, either is fine) to put in some long (10+ lines) of text. Can that actually work in a VM or do I have to run autohotkey inside the VM for it to work?
As for implementing this, I have 2 problems. First, how do I display multiple lines of text from a keyboard macro? I know about the Send command, but I haven't figured out how that works. I have this:
:*:insert:: ( Text to insert goes here and more here )
And this works fine except in notepad++, it inserts consecutively more tabs, so it will look like this. I haven't tested it in eclipse since I can't get it to recognize my keys in my VM.
Text to insert goes here and more goes here
And so in my many line macro, by the end it's several pages scrolled off the screen.
As for keyboard macro, changing the above to
#c:: Send{Raw} ( stuf to send ) Return
This gives syntax errors and I have no idea what the correct way of doing that would be. Should I just stick with using hotstrings?

Children's University Charles Darwin Students Visit University For The Day
Charles Darwin University extended a warm welcome to the students of the future!
Students from Ludmilla, Driver and Manunda Terrace Primary Schools came to University for the day on 14 February.
The students participating in 'Children's University Charles Darwin' had a taste of university life, when they visited Charles Darwin University on 14 February 2018. Starting with a visit to CDU's Aqua Culture Centre, where they met the turtles and fed the Barra, the children then participated in an exciting Virtual Reality Experience. Not forgetting the February 'online activity', where the children made some fantastic Valentine's Day cards. Following an action-packed morning at university, students then visited Crocodylus Park, where they enjoyed a 'Croc Cruise', attended a very informative the Crocodile Feeding session, and met the reptiles.
The feedback from the day was excellent, 'the children had a blast', 'they came back full of excitement about everything they had learnt, and asking even more questions about university', and 'this was the best day ever' – being a few of the comments that were shared with the team.
Children's University (CU) Charles Darwin is being taken forward as an innovative pilot program which allows students aged 7-12 initially from Ludmilla, Driver and Manunda Terrace Schools to participate in extra-curricular learning activities. The CU Charles Darwin Team are delighted to be working with these schools, all of which have excellent leadership teams who are really committed to ensuring that their students achieve the best possible learning outcomes from the program.

The key point is that it is wrong to focus on the copies to which copyright applies as the sole source of revenue to pay for creative efforts. Open source software works because the complementary good produced - "expertise" - in the process of producing software, is scarce and so commands a premium in the market. So even if copies generate little revenue, as long as something else complementary is scarce, there is still a revenue source to pay for creation. In the case of movies the obvious candidate is theatrical sales. In the case of music, live performances.
A secondary issue is competition between "free" DVDs and "expensive" theatrical tickets. But no one is proposing that movie producers be required to release DVDs when movies hit the theaters. It is true that stuff gets on the internet quickly - for example, because people steal master copies and post them. But even without copyright this is illegal, nor does advocating the elimination of copyright mean that when you give someone a sealed envelope containing a master copy to deliver to a theater, they are entitled to rip it open and make copies along the way. Or that if you transmit an encrypted movie stream to a theater than anyone can hack into a router and crack your stream. Or, for that matter, that if you transmit encrypted data to your bank that anyone can hack into a router and crack that transaction. In short, the transmission between producer and theater owner should be protected - but that protection has nothing to do with copyright.
Another issue that is important lies on the cost side. Much of the cost of a $200 million dollar movie is the money paid to big name actors and directors. When the government grants a monopoly through copyright, some of that monopoly profit goes to owners of other scarce factors - actors and directors. Reduce the revenue by eliminating the government monopoly, and those people get paid less. But big name actors in particular are paid far more than their opportunity cost - the amount that is needed to get them to act rather than take another job. Harrison Ford was a carpenter before becoming a big name actor - presumably a modest premium over a carpenter's wage is what was needed to get him to take the acting job. So if half the revenue is lost by eliminating copyright - half the costs may disappear as well.
Finally, you may wonder - what happens when we all have big screen movie theaters in our homes, and none of us go out to watch movies anymore? Simple answer - the same technological change that is lowering the price of big screen TVs is also lowering the cost of making movies. While the home video is scarcely a good substitute for a $200 million movie production, the quality gap has narrowed enormously in the last 20 years, and it isn't unreasonable to think that in another 20 years, home production of "professional" quality movies will become cheap and practical.

Do you have in mind some options like: "EvaluationMonitor is an option for various numerical computation and plotting functions that gives an expression to evaluate whenever functions derived from the input are evaluated numerically." <http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/ref/EvaluationMonitor.html?q=EvaluationMonitor> or "StepMonitor is an option for iterative numerical computation functions that gives an expression to evaluate whenever a step is taken by the numerical method used." <http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/ref/StepMonitor.html> Also the function *Monitor* (new in v6) can be used: "Monitor[expr, mon] generates a temporary monitor cell in which the continually updated current value of mon is displayed during the course of evaluation of expr." <http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/ref/Monitor.html> The following tutorial might be useful too.

What to Look for in a Thrombosed External Hemorrhoid Treatment
The subject of hemorrhoids is an intimidating one. If you didn't go to medical school, you likely aren't sure what your hemorrhoids are, what caused them and more importantly, how to get rid of them. Everyone wants to just discreetly grab a treatment over the counter; however, too many people simply have no idea what they should be looking for. This is especially true for those who are in need of a thrombosed external hemorrhoid treatment.
So what should you be looking for in a remedy for thrombosed external hemorrhoids?
- First, you should be looking for a hemorrhoid treatment that can handle all types of hemorrhoids. Many creams only work to soothe the irritation instead of to actually heal the problem. Instead of going for a cream or ointment that only works for certain types of hemorrhoids, go for a treatment that is proven to work for all.
- Second, the more natural the remedy is, the better it will be for you. Learning how to treat hemorrhoids can be incredibly difficult at first, but by doing some research on the natural methods available out there, you should be able to figure it out.
- Third, get an oral remedy that you can take internally. This is critical. The reason you have hemorrhoids in the first place is because of the various issues going on within your system. Your veins are weak, you're fighting inflamation, your circulation is poor, you're likely constipated and your blood needs to be cleansed. These, along with other factors, can only be taken care of when you use a natural remedy that treats these issues from the inside.
Hemorrhoids Treatment Over the Counter: Is There Such a Thing?
Hemorrhoids can be such an embarrassing situation to have to deal with. The last thing anyone wants to have to do is to talk about them or show them to their doctor. Since that is the case, anyone suffering with this condition would be thrilled with an option for a hemorrhoids treatment over the counter. There are many options, actually, however; many of them only work to soothe the discomfort instead of to heal the problem. In fact, if you ask a doctor, they will tell you that hemorrhoids can never be cured. That information, though, is simply untrue.
There are herbal remedies for hemorrhoids that have been proven time and time again to shrink swollen veins, soothe inflammation, strengthen weak vein walls, increase blood circulation, cleanse blood, prevent blood clots and also take care of leading causes of developing hemorrhoids. For instance, some of these herbal hemorrhoid remedies provide great bowel cleansers to aid in digestion and cleansing the bowels. This helps greatly in the fight against hemorrhoids and is a wonderful start to finding a treatment for hemorrhoids that can be found over the counter.
The great thing about it is that it requires no prescriptions whatsoever. It's always good to quiz a doctor about what is OK to take since everyone's bodies are different and their medical history and current prescriptions may have much to do with it. Luckily, though, there is such a thing as an over the counter treatment for hemorrhoids and if it is herbal, there is a great chance that it really will take care of the problem and heal your hemorrhoids.
Herbal Remedies for Hemorrhoids: Do They Really Work?
Since so many of the general public end up with hemorrhoids at one point or another, they are often led to ask this question: "Do natural remedies for hemorrhoids really work??" Of course, usually they have to get to the point where their hemorrhoids are so bad that their only option is surgery. Unfortunately, surgery isn't much of an option because it absolutely does zero good in healing the internal problem. The protrusion is cut off and a painful process is undergone all for hemorrhoids to just come right back again. That is usually the point where people are pushed to be willing to consider anything.
So the question still remains – could you use natural remedies for hemorrhoids with good results?
The answer is an emphatic YES! Whether you have bleeding internal hemorrhoids or simply painful external piles, there are natural remedies out there that get to the root of the problem and heal the body.
The trick is finding the best remedy to go with. After all, time is money. And natural remedies aren't free, either. So take a look at your situation and think about we know causes hemorrhoids:
- Poor blood circulation
- Lack of nutrition
- Weak veins
- Constipation
- Inflammation
Now, the best way to find herbal remedies for hemorrhoids that actually work are to study their list of ingredients to find out if the ingredients attack each of these individual issues. For instance, if the herbal hemorrhoid remedy contains cayenne, that will help to reverse constipation and increase blood flow while better enabling the body to absorb nutrition. Stone root is well known for strengthening veins and witch hazel has been used for centuries to fight off inflammation. Indeed, herbal remedies for hemorrhoids do work – it's just a matter of looking at the ingredients!
What Causes Bleeding Internal Hemorrhoids to Bleed?
The site of blood on stool is enough to make anyone nervous. After all, it's anything but normal. It can also be the sign of many different problems. It is not just limited to hemorrhoids. People who are dealing with bleeding internal hemorrhoids will want to know if that is what the problem is and then what to do for it. The best way to know for sure if the problem is caused by hemorrhoids is to get examined by a doctor. Once the diagnosis has been made, it's time to look into several different hemorrhoid treatment options.
An important thing to consider as you make your decision is the actual cause of bleeding internal hemorhoids. What causes them to bleed? Knowing the answer to that question can help you to determine which treatment method will work best. The causes do vary; however, they are often centered around these reasons:
- Weakened veins (They simply break under the strain)
- Sharp Stool (It cuts the hemorrhoid on the way out, causing it to bleed)
- Constipation (Pushing too hard for bowel movements can cause tearing)
Knowing that one of the causes of bleeding internal hemorrhoids is weakened veins, it stands to reason that a hemorrhoid treatment should provide some vein strengthening properties. That can help to narrow down the process of selecting treatment methods. Hemorrhoid cures that have stone root, for instance, are a good bet because stone root is known for strengthening veins. This will lead to less tearing and therefore, less bleeding.
It's also good to pay attention to the health of the circulatory system. The healthier the circulatory system is, the less likely one will be to deal with hemorrhoids as they are in fact inflamed veins. Indeed, bleeding internal hemorrhoids are not fun; however, they can be fixed by understanding the causes and choosing a good treatment method.
Hemorrhoid Treatment At Home: Four Helpful Ingredients
Those who are interested in conducting a hemorrhoid treatment at home definitely have a good chance at success. There are countless cases of people successfully treating hemorrhoids from home. What can be rather confusing, though, is the many different options there are available for doing so. Many people will boast of successes that came about far differently than one another. Still others will talk about things they tried that didn't work which is not very helpful, either. The point is that anyone can find a good hemorrhoid treatment at home if they know what ingredients to look for.
So what ingredients should you be looking for to treat your hemorrhoids from home?
Witch hazel – witch hazel has an anti-inflammatory effect and is a very well-known ingredient to use for soothing the pain of hemorrhoids. It can be applied topically or taken orally which adds to it a wonderfully diverse nature. While it would seem to make more sense to try to apply it topically since it can relieve itching and irritation, the best form is to take it internally – so it can heal the inflammation on the inside.
Aloe Vera – there are many forms of aloe vera. Some are more diluted than others. Some have other additives while others are more natural. The best form is the kind that is the purest, most natural form. This can help to ward off constipation which can play a large role in developing hemorrhoids. It can also provide relief if applied topically.
Ginger – ginger is a well known home remedy for all sorts of things. It helps with nausea and upset tummies along with hemorrhoids. This ingredient is used in cooking and for a variety of other things as well. No hemorrhoid treatment at home is complete without the use of ginger.
Stone root – stone root is a vein strengthener. Since hemorrhoids are weakened, inflamed veins, it's important to strengthen these veins with vein-building properties such as stone root. There have also been cases in which varicose veins have been aided with stone root. Indeed, there is no reason to go with hemorrhoid medication when a hemorrhoid treatment at home is completely possible.

With the death of actor Philip Seymour Hoffman, Facebook has been abuzz with people making, at times, condemning commentary about his addiction. I have kept silent, until this post.
Yesterday when I saw the announcement of his death, it made my heart hurt. It hurt for the loss of another soul. It hurt for his children and for all who loved him. I hurt for these people, because I know their struggles.
I know the pain of standing in front of someone that you love dearly, with tears streaming down your face begging them to turn away from their addiction and the clear, nasty refusal that you get in return. Or having that loved one clearly assure you that everything is great, when you know factually otherwise—that you know that they are still using, that it is getting worse and that they have no problem lying to you about it.
I know what it feels like to cry myself to sleep knowing that there is nothing I can do to help or prevent the self-destruction that I'm witnessing. To wonder what happened to the sweet innocent soul that I watched grow up, knowing that buried beneath the addiction is the warm generous heart of my memories.
I know what it feels like to get a call in the middle of the night, wondering if this call is to tell you that the person that you love so very dearly is in fact now dead, because death is more likely than the call to ask for you to take them to rehab.
Philip Seymour Hoffman was an addict, just like any other, who needed to take control of his addiction. Unfortunately he, like many, allowed his addiction to control him and paid the ultimate price.
I don't know what it is like to be an addict, but I do know how it transforms people, the struggles they face, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. For the family and friends of this actor, and all people who have lost someone to an addiction, my heart and prayers go out to you.
I don't know why his death bothered me so much. I've never met the man. Just this feeling like, what a waste….so much to live for, and so talented and he destroyed himself. It's sad.
