New York - Amazing!

By Jonathon Vanguard


On everyone's list of places to visit is the Empire State Building and whilst it may be busy, no trip would be the same without a trip to the 86th floor. For others the winner of this little competition is the Rockefeller Center which is a little taller but if you don't have a clear day you won't see anything anyway. The Statue of Liberty is best seen from a tour boat although these can be extremely busy and since 9/11, the delays can be long so it is best to go ashore at Ellis Island; which is the former immigration center but is also fascinating.

As an alternative why not go to Staten Island via the free ferry and look at the Statue of Liberty from there; dropping off at the terminal is the best place because it is where there are some good street artists.

Probably on everyone's list is where the World Trade Center Towers once stood; it has become an obligatory stop and no seven day trip to New York would feel complete without a visit to this tragic site. Despite the moving nature of this place where over 3,000 people lost their lives, most people do not wish to take a picture of it.

For those who love to shop there is of course the famous Tiffany's and Broadway plus some fantastic old discount warehouses worth a look down on the Lower East Side.

Then there is Macy's, where there is always a sale so don't forget to get your 11 per cent tourist discount card; and you can look, but don't touch at Bloomingdales. Unfortunately, the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum will be closed until late 2008; well worth looking in if your around at that time of the grand re-opening. For those that are interested in large vessels like planes and aircraft carriers for example, then this is the place to visit with the aircraft carrier - Intrepid; submarines and even a Concorde to name but a few of the craft they have there.

The New York City Police Museum is worth an hour if you're down that way; it's free to enter but a five dollar donation is recommended to help with its upkeep; especially for those people in love with the crime side of New York City!

Another museum is the Lower East Side Tenement Museum which focuses on the appalling conditions experienced by the immigrants back in 1864. One museum not mentioned a great deal is the City of New York Museum on Central Park that houses images and objects of the past (and present) in an exhibition that is constantly changing. It is all housed in a beautiful building and entrance is free but a nine dollar donation is recommended.

There is a huge amount to see and do in this city and if you are staying anything less than seven days in New York, you will hardly scratch the surface!

Registry Cleaners keep PC's Running as they did on Day One.

By Dai1952


Most of your computer problems or errors originate from the registry of your system but it's fair to say that if you are reading this article then you already know that. It is unlikely. Before attempting to clean your computer's registry, you must be aware that your computers normal performance can be affected by just 2 main errors.

You can be caused to have an unclean registry if you don't go through the process of uninstalling software when deleting it and this explains why you will often find unused files/data saturating your registry. You will easily see how your computer performance is affected if it is a routine you carry out regularly. One of the many causes of a crashed registry is an incompatible driver for a part of the computers hardware and this could potentially be a much more serious problem.

Should an error message be displayed during the download and installation of a piece of software, but you continue to install, this could easily be the root of the problem. A more damaging event is the blue-screen-of-death which could suddenly appear.

Of course your computer will still lose performance gradually even if you regularly carry out the task of maintaining your registry clean and safe and you have to be prepared for this. This particularly happens when you use your PC/laptop for months without ever carrying out routine maintenance. Maintenance programs provided by Windows such as disk defragmenter and disk clean up can certainly help you keeping your computer registry organized.

Performing maintenance regularly does not necessarily mean your computer is clean just because it is organized although it should perform better. All of those unused files are kept together in a particular space of your disk when you carry out this routine maintenance regularly with windows tools. The computer system will have these files spread right thru it if you hardly ever carry out the maintenance.

Created to help you clean this essential part of your computer system, there are many registry cleaning software packages available on the market. Ensure you do not become frustrated with the constant errors again by scanning your computer every day and it will also make sure it never runs slow.

Important features, like built-in task scheduler, redundant file cleaner and more, are installed so as to make it more user friendly. You could very well regret it if you purchase a program too early as you might end up with a piece of registry software that is not of the best quality and cause the computer system even more errors.

Legal Issues Concerning The Trademark Application

By Rex Stevenson


Don't worry about the process of filling a trademark application, is not very difficult and does not require a lot of effort from you. Still, you might discover that the online application system is more comfortable than spending hours at the USPTO office. You will have to go to the USTPO website and use what they call TEAS. TEAS means Trademark Electronic Application System and it's faster and better than the traditional paper system.

A trademark is a sort of signature for a certain company or a product, but it has been registered and cannot be copied and used by anyone than its owner. It's very important that we teach people to use their own original trademarks and don't copy other trademarks. The abbreviation used for a trademark is TM.

If you want to fill an online application go on the USPTO website. There, choose the category "Trademarks", on the next screen just click on "FILE online". This is a very easy and direct process so there is no need to worry about mistakes. Another important thing that should be done properly is writing the date when you first used your product name or design, make a short description of your business and products, and, of course, describe the trademark that you will be using.

Also, don't forget to choose a field for your mark. These are various classifications, but they have a help system so you shouldn't worry about not finding the right field for you trademark.

When registering your trademark, you need to add: graphic representations of your trademark or other design samples proposed. Of course, don't forget about the registration fee which is 325 dollars for each of the classifications.

There are also qualifications to meet before your trademark can qualify for a federal registration. First, use your trademark as an "interstate commerce" to register with the USPTO. It means that your trademark is intended for services or products which crosses national, territorial, or state borders, or directly affects commerce which crosses in those lines. Take for instance; a motel, a restaurant, or an internet business which caters to international or interstate customers.

If your trademark is accepted by the USTPO you will find out from the "Official Gazette", this process is making it a worthy of choice candidate for the federal registration. At this point, any owners of trademarks can object, if anyone does that they will start a preliminary examination where you can solve any dispute. However, if there are no objections to your trademark, you will receive a response in about one year but it can also last more than one year. The delay depends on any legal problems that may occur during the procedure.

Maintaining the legal status of your trademark is another business. You should always renew the application if you want to receive more rights. If you don't renew the application, your trademark could be canceled and you could lose all the rights. It is very important to know all these aspects and other aspects regarding trademarks before you start.

Heart Disease - Public Enemy #1?

By Richard H Ealom


INTRODUCTION: Heart disease is a number of abnormal conditions affecting the heart and its blood vessels. Also known cardiovascular disease, it mainly affects people who are older and is a sign that there are problems with the heart and blood vessels.

It has become the leading cause of death in the United States, is a major cause of disability, doesn't go away, but by working with your doctor, you can live longer and feel better. Types of cardiovascular disease include: Coronary artery disease (CAD), the most common type and is the leading cause of heart attacks.

In 2003, almost twice as many women died of cardiovascular disease (both heart disease and stroke) than from all cancers combined. The older a woman gets, the more likely she is to develop cardiovascular disease; however women of all ages should be concerned.

African American and Hispanic American/Latina women are more likely to get heart disease because they tend to have more risk factors such as obesity, lack of exercise, high blood pressure, and diabetes than Caucasian women. Women of color are also more likely to die of the disease.

Having diabetes raises your chances of getting heart disease and high levels of triglycerides are linked to the disease in some people. Also Being overweight increases your risk. Chest or arm pain or discomfort can be a symptom of cardiovascular disease and a warning sign of an actual or impending heart attack.

If your dad or brother had a heart attack before age 55, or if your mother had one before age 65, you're more likely to eventually have heart disease. Birth control pills can pose risks for some women, especially women over the age of 35, women with high blood pressure, diabetes, or elevated cholesterol and women who smoke.

Close to 700,000 people die of heart disease in the USA each year. You can find out more about heart disease by phoning the National Women's Health Information Center at 1-800-994-9662.

The chance of developing coronary disease can be reduced by taking steps to prevent and control those factors that put people at larger risk for cardiovascular disease and heart attack. The very best ways to prevent the disease are to control high blood pressure, diabetes or a elevated cholesterol level and, if you smoke, STOP SMOKING.

CHOLESTEROL: What does high cholesterol have to do with heart disease? Cholesterol can clog your arteries and keep your heart from getting the blood it needs. People with high blood cholesterol or high blood triglycerides often have no symptoms, so have your blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels checked regularly. If your levels are high, talk to your doctor about what you can do to lower them. You may be able to lower your levels by eating better and exercising more, if not, your doctor may prescribe medication to lower and bring it under control.

If there is too much cholesterol in your blood, it can build up on the walls of your arteries, forming plaque and producing blood clots. There are basically two kinds of cholesterol: Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is usually called the "bad" type because it can clog the arteries that transport blood to your heart. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is known as the "good" kind because it takes the bad cholesterol out of your blood and keeps it from building up in your arteries.

All women age 20 and older should have their blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels checked at least once every 5 years. If you are overweight, losing weight can help lower your total cholesterol and LDL ("bad cholesterol") levels.

Try to consume more foods low in saturated fats, trans fats, and cholesterol. Skim (fat-free) or low-fat (1%) milk and cheeses, and low-fat or nonfat yogurt, Fruits and vegetables (try for five a day), Cereals, breads, rice, and pasta created from whole grains (such as "whole-wheat" or "whole-grain" bread and pasta, rye bread, brown rice, and oatmeal), Limit consumption of organ meats (liver, kidney, brains), Egg yolks, Fats (butter, lard) and oils, Packaged and processed foods.

There are two diets that may help decrease your cholesterol: Heart Healthy Diet and Therapeutic Lifestyles Changes (TLC) Diet. Exercise can help decrease LDL ("bad cholesterol") and raise HDL ("good cholesterol"). If your physician has prescribed medicine to decrease your cholesterol, take it exactly as you have been told to.

CONCLUSION: Heart disease is not contagious - you can't get it like you can the flu or a cold. It is a general term that refers to a variety of acute and chronic medical diseases that affect one or more of the components of the heart. The signs you describe to your physician will help to decide if you need to be tested for heart disease. Your physician will also check if you have any conditions that can increase your chance of developing the disease.

These conditions include: high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, high cholesterol level, menopause in women, family members who have had heart disease at a young age. If you have cardiovascular disease, your angina can be treated by treating the heart disease. Maintaining a healthy diet and weight plus a regular exercise program can help you avoid heart disease.

Apical periodontitis How Do I Save My Teeth?

By Petra


In our lives we are beat over the head with oral and dental health needs and requirements. We know in our minds that there are bad consequences to not listening and following the dentist's prescription for preventative treatments. The sad fact is many of us wait until we have apical periodontitis to really understand how bad our mouths can get.

However this time you hear a new word from your dentist that is apical periodontitis. What was that again? You know cavity and gingivitis as familiar words and problems but this is new. Hopefully it is not really bad, right doc?

Your concern grows as you hear the word apical periodontitis again and associated with the word disease and bad. You feel compelled to ask a question and worst luck the dentist answers. He explains that the disease can ultimately cause major damage to your gums and loss of your teeth. Yikes! Now he has your complete attention and panic starts to set up in your body.

There are several herbal remedies that are noted for their antibiotic properties and these are a possible alternative to traditional dentistry when treating apical periodontitis. They can be ingested but are usually applied as a paste to the areas affected to reduce or kill the disease causing bacteria. The effects are often gradual and require patience for full effect. Many people do not have the desire or time to wait, so they go to modern dental techniques.

Apical periodontitis can be treated in the early stages with simply trying to power wash out the offending bacteria with a special antiseptic solution or just pure water. The power of the stream will clean out most of the current bacteria and follow-up treatments with anti-bacterial rinses can make the progress permanent.

Once the tooth and gum are detached or weakened by apical periodontitis, the disease starts to work on the main larger ligament holding the tooth to the jawbone. The jawbone itself is not immune to this disease and will be attacked soon. The final blows from the disease often result in the tooth just falling out.

A fairly mainstream method to deal with apical periodontitis is called scaling. It also has a companion cleaning technique named root planing. These are fairly invasive techniques where the dentist actually inserts probes and instruments between your tooth and gum to effectively remove any bacteria or gunk stored there. It is more effective at cleaning than just the water stream, but not as easy on the patient.

You really think you have it with this last supposed cure for apical periodontitis. The main difficulty is getting the bacteria fighting solutions into the pocket homes of the disease. This is the same difficulty you faced in brushing and flossing to begin with. Next you try a relatively new device that places a mouthpiece over your teeth and the inside is covered with bacteria fighting goo. As you wear the device, the goo seeps quietly into the pockets and kills the bacteria. This final tool really works well so your teeth are safe for now. But you vow to brush and floss all the time now.

Weight Loss Secret - Simple Tips & Advice to Help You

By Robert Kaufman


How many times have you successfully lost weight and kept it off by using one of the weight loss cure programs? The fact is most diets do not work. They don't work because diet programs are geared towards eating less causing you to lose muscle mass and not fat. To successfully lose the fat, you will need to start an exercise routine. One simple and fast way to accomplish this is through fitness walking.

Fitness walking is designed specifically to raise the heart rate. Raising the heart rate increases the body's energy consumption and helps to burn more calories. This is very important because when the body requires more energy, it will first look for it from the food most recently eaten. If it can not find it there, it will then take it from the stored body fat. Diets operate differently because they burn muscle first. This is because the body is not putting forth any extra energy, it is simply consuming fewer calories. Because fitness walking will help the body burn stored fat it is even helpful for belly fat loss as well as overall fat loss.

Walking is the ultimate fat loss for idiots program because almost everyone can walk. Since all that is required is the placing of one foot in front of the other, it is definitely a foolproof form of exercise. However, determining how many calories are burned when walking is not as simple since there are several factors to consider in the calculation.

Weight is the first item to look at in our calorie burning calculation. Determining how much you currently weigh will affect how many calories you burn when walking. Studies have shown that those who carry more weight will burn more calories because their bodies require more energy to bear the weight. This is great news for people who are really heavy, but no so great for those who are only mildly overweight. This is where one weight loss secret comes in handy. In order to compensate for being lighter and get the same benefits from fitness walking as a heavier person, you can add some weights around your ankles to help increase the load you must carry. As you lose weight you can add additional weights to keep the weight loss steady.

Walking speed is the second item to take into account. How quickly you walk will determine how many calories you burn and this is the second leading factor to consider when trying to lose both weight and body fat. The easiest thing to remember is the faster you walk the more calories you will burn. The slower you walk the fewer calories you will burn. When you walk faster, your heart rate will go up. This heart rate increase will trigger your body to start providing more energy which it gets from your excess fat. Walking fast is beneficial because once your heart rate goes up so will your metabolism and this will help you to keep burning calories long after you finish walking.

Where you walk is an additional item to factor into your calculation. When you walk, you can either walk uphill, downhill, or on a flat surface. The harder your body has to work, the more calories you will lose. So it would be ideal if you could find a place to walk uphill. Walking downhill, on the other hand, will cause you to not lose as many calories because your body is hardly working.

Another factor in your weight loss equation is how much sleep you are getting. One weight loss secret is based on our energy consumption. Our energy is the life force that will cause us to lose fat or gain fat. When we get enough sleep the night before, our body will function fine the next day. If we do not get enough sleep, our bodies will start to break down, our energy levels drop and then we compensate for that tired feeling by eating more to stay alert. The key to losing weight is to keep your energy up because that will help you lose your useless fat. So make sure you get a good night sleep when you are trying to lose weight.

Everyone is hoping to find that perfect weight loss cure to help them lose the extra fat that has found its way onto their body. Fitness walking can provide this cure and it is the simplest possible plan to follow. All you need to do in order to burn the maximum amount of calories while walking is to walk very fast, walk uphill if at all possible, put on some extra ankle weights, and get plenty of sleep the night before.

Deploy Your Energies on Important, Immediate Assignments and Earn Better Grades

By Dr Marc R. Dussault


Haven't you ever found that you actually get the most work done when you have the least time to do it in - that you do your best under pressure, or with a deadline approaching?

Do you find yourself "not" completing the work you're supposed to do, when you have ample time to get it done yet when you're giving yourself a time table and short sharp bursts of urgent timelines you excel above and beyond what you ever expected?

Here are a few exact situations:

Not important and not urgent. At the end of the semester you need to hand in a book report. It will probably take at least 10 to 20 hours to read the whole book, and at least 4 or 5 hours to write the whole report. You have been given 3 months to complete it and it is worth at least 10% of your final grade.

You need to begin with it at the earliest in order to avoid a situation, where it becomes urgent.

However, how often does this important task turn into and "Important and urgent" task, which is exactly what you don't want What you need to do is pretend in your own mind that you only have a quarter of the time to get it completed, then you'll complete it much faster and be able to spend the rest of the time "polishing" the finished product into something really great.

Not important but urgent. There is a quiz tomorrow but you haven't studied anything. It counts for 5% but you need every mark that is available.

You know perfectly well you could have done this sooner, and more easily, in between other tasks. Now, however, you need to worry about it unnecessarily.

If you ever find yourself in a situation like this, concentrate on the areas that you consider the most weak, work on polishing some of those areas 80 percent of the time, then 20 percent polishing your strongest points.

Important but not urgent. You have a project which is assigned 35% of your final marks. The due date of completion is in a month and as per your estimate, it will take 20 to 25 hours for completion.

On top of chunking it down into bite size chunks you also need to give each bite size chunk a deadline and timeline, so that you have a realistic expectation and understanding of your workload, this will take the pressure off you, so you can relax when you set time to relax and be very focused in the times you allot for each chunk.

Important and urgent. Your final exam is in 2 days time and 70% of your final grade depends on it. You have not done enough till now. The amount of new materials to be covered is so great that you are not sure where to begin. You start panicking.

You want to be sure you are spending appropriate amount of time on urgent and important issues that may take more time to resove than some of lifes more mundane problems.

The ideal coping method is to take a more objective look at the issue, and take the time to think it over calmly. There is no situation that can be best dealt with in haste; every difficulty needs some thought put into it, and every difficulty can be better overcome if you plan a little before diving into the situation.

When you get the balance of urgency, study and researching for projects right and align them with a prioritized time table, in particular the urgent assignments and tests, you'll have a success formula that will see you through not only your education, you'll have a valuable skill that will enable you to complete any project in your working life as well.

Apple MacBook Air Review

By Calvin Sorren


If you are looking for a very small, very fragile, very light laptop, then Apple MacBook Air is for you. A slight tap on the screen will close the system down completely.

Apple MacBook, being the lightest MacBook in its category, sets in in the spotlight, surpassing other MacBook. The depth from the back (at .76 inches) tapering towards the front bezel (at .16 inches), makes this the slimmest.

Most laptops have a thicker look, because of the flat level of thickness all around. the design of the Apple MacBook Air is curved with a thickness of .04 centimeters all around. This definitely puts it in the spotlight.

This laptop does have few limitations like absence of connectivity ports and optical drive. Yet, numerous innovative features like standard-voltage processing parts and full-size keyboard within the diminutive size makes up for all limitations. Having an Internet connection reduces the utility of an optical drive greatly.

Apple MacBook Air does have pre installed software, including Mac OS Xv10.5 Leopard operating system, Safari, Time Machine, iTunes, Xcode, iMovie, and many more.

Apple has always been an active participant in environmental group Greenpeace in recent years. Apple has enclosed its MacBook Air to suit all environmental concerns. This laptop sports a completely recyclable aluminum case. All circuit boards are BFR and PVC free. Apple has been the first to have a mercury-free display with arsenic-free glass. The retail packaging uses fifty-six percent less packaging material than MacBook packaging. Apple MacBook Air is Energy Star 4.0-certified and EPEAT silver-compliant.

Free Tips To Save Gas

By Michael Baker


Gas prices are getting close to an all time high. Here are a few tips to save gas you can start using right now to off set this.

Savings of upwards of 20% are not unheard of if you just take an active role in managing your gas.

Or, the other way to look at it, would be that you can increase your gas mileage by 20%. Sounds far fetched? Not really. It is more possible than ever these days.

Today, you can begin by just slowing down. When you drive the speed limit, you are already saving gas. Plus, you really do not get anywhere that much faster, and it is safer. So, I guess there could be 3 reasons for this one.

Before you get in your car today, go tighten the gas cap. A loose gas cap allows too much oxygen in the system, which will leave some extra gas behind after the combustion takes place to run the engine. This is wasted gas.

You also uses less gas when the car is aligned properly. But for this tip, just make sure the aire in the tires is inflated to the optimal pressure rating, which is listed on the side of the tires. You will notice an immediate difference in the drivability of the car. This, in turn, will take less gas to make it go forward.

The most uninformed habit out there by millions is buying super unleaded fuel. There is no need in this. I really don't care what the car manuals tell you, your car runs just as efficiently on regular unleaded as it does super unleaded. This change alone will save you 5-6% in gas.

These are just a few of the things you can start doing to save gas or increase your gas mileage. There are many more tips to save gas out there. I would suggest looking for and implementing as many of them as you can. The gas prices will only keep increasing.

Choosing A Wool Suit Made Easy

By Victor Santerino


In this article you will discover how to choose a wool suit that fits your needs perfectly. You will learn about the various qualities of each type of wool and how to identify them.

Wool suits are drastically different among the various types. These types include: tweed, herringbone, flannel, and worsted wool. Differences range from weight, quality, and even durability.

High quality suits are spun at a much higher speed than lower quality suit. Designers tell us what the quality is by giving us a number system ranging from 100 to 200. The higher the quality the higher the number. Suits that are spun at speeds above 150 are generally reserved for luxury suits.

The thickest most durable type of wool used in suit creation is tweed. Tweed suits are made from a woolen yarn and usually come in checkered patterns. This type of material has a coarse feel to it and is perfect for the man looking for a long term winter suit.

The herringbone suit is a great year round suit. This suit is heavier than worsted models yet lighter than tweed models and comes in a fashionable zig zag pattern.

Men looking for a comfortable winter suit should look into a flannel model. These suits are just as warm as tweed models but not quite as coarse or heavy. The only drawback is that they are not always as durable as their tweed counterparts.

Worsted wool is the lightest type of wool fabric on the market. Suits made from worsted wool are ideal for summer use. Many men choose to buy this type of suit as a year round suit as well. These men will add a trench coat to keep warm while outside. Buy this suit if you are looking for something comfortable to wear around the office.

Always remember to think about the places you will be wearing your suit before choosing a material. The main goal of a suit is to make a man look better, but that does not mean he should be uncomfortable.

Legal Divorce Forms Made Easy

By Alan S. Redman


When applying for a no contest divorce, it is essential that your papers are presented correctly, and most importantly: you use the correct form for your State.

This is quite a common problem, people believing that one legal divorce form fits all.

Now that all 50 states are involved in the no fault divorce option (with NY being the last to agree), a divorce can now be sorted out with little fuss, and you may not even need a lawyer if you are feeling brave.

There is little paperwork involved, obviously the correct form being essential, plus you may be subject to resubmission fees if the forms/or form itself is incorrect.

My divorce went simply enough, and some have said it went better than the wedding (if that's possible?). What made this easy was the fact that we had prepared thoroughly; we each knew what we were to take from the divorce, and I utilized a lawyer as I don't feel comfortable handling that sort of thing.

My wife (ex) was excellent and seemed at ease with the law and the locale. Whereas I was a total wreck; all sweat and terror, as I hate speaking in front of any formal gathering however informal they may try and make it seem.

She walked away with half of our stuff, and I did the same except I had a small (well small in lawyer terms) legal bill for the filing process.

This is not hard to do, and you can do it too. All it involves is a little confidence, som detailed research, some co-operation from your ex in the early days (by far the hardest part), and some of your time.

Is this difficult? You could walk away with everything you want, and maybe more (including a bank account intact).

What a bargain for such little effort.

How To Get Non-Profit Credit Card Debt Consolidation Help

By William Blake


A large number of individuals spend a vast number of years trying to keep their credit card debt under control, only to lose the delicate balance and see everything come crashing down around them.

The first inclination is to run to the credit card debt management companies you see on television and ask them to help you put the house of cards back together so you can go on with your spending habits until the cards crash again and that is exactly what a regular credit card management company will do. They will help you get out of trouble temporarily and then watch you get right back into trouble again so they can swoop in and save you while adding to the money they already make from you on a monthly basis.

Instead of calling the first service that advertises their assistance on TV, why not get out your phone book and look up the number of a non-profit credit card debt consolidation organization. That way, you can get the help you actually need.

With a non profit credit card debt consolidation organization you will get honest answers and they will sit down with you and show you all of the numbers involved in non profit credit card debt consolidation and then they also have to show you what they will be charging you every month to do the service.

Credit card debt management companies charge a service fee too. But they try their best to conceal the amount of that payment from you. Non-profit credit card debt consolidation organizations are not interested in just getting you out of the debt you currently find yourself in. They will no doubt ask you extensive questions regarding your spending habits to help you get your life better organized financially. You will be completely involved in the debt elimination process.

The Catch

Most professional debt consolidation managers would prefer to work for a company that pays them the highest salary possible for the work that they do. Non-profit debt consolidation organizations are not in a position to pay as much as other companies in the field can. That means that they tend to hire less experienced employees.

Sometimes you many not get the best manager for your case but just ask a lot of questions and if you are not comfortable with the manager then you may want to decide to take your problems elsewhere.

Testicular cancer - 95% Cure Rate With Early Diagnosis!

By Richard H Ealom


INTRODUCTION: Testicular cancer is a disorder that occurs when cancerous (malignant) cells develop in the tissues of a testicle and is the most common cancer in men between the ages of 20 to 35. It is most common among Caucasians and rare among men of African and Asian origens.

In the U.S., between 7,500 and 8,000 diagnoses are made annually. Over his lifetime, a man's odds of developing the disease is roughly 1 in 250 (four tenths of one percent). Although it is found most commonly among men 15-40 years of age, it has three peaks: infancy, ages 25-40 years, and age 60.

Because it is curable (stage I can have a success rate of 95 percent) when detected early, experts recommend regular monthly testicular self examinations after taking a hot shower or bathing, when the scrotum is looser. Blood tests are used by your doctor to recognize and measure tumor markers that are specific to this desease.

CAUSE: At present, there is no known method for preventing the malignancy because there is no known cause for the disease.

TYPE: Although testicular cancer can develop from any cell type found in the testicles, more than 95% of testicular cancers are germ cell tumors. The main forms of testicular germ cell tumors are seminomas and non-seminomas.

SYMPTOMS: May include one or more of the following: A lump in one testes or a hardening of one of the testicles. The testicle should normally feel smooth to the touch. Symptoms of late-stage testicular cancer may include: Dull pain in the lower back and abdomen, A feeling of heaviness in the scrotum, A sudden collection of fluid in the scrotum, Pain or discomfort in a testicle or the scrotum, Enlargement or tenderness of the breasts, Unexplained fatigue or a general feeling of not being well. However each individual may experience symptoms differently. The National Cancer Institute suggests that a man see a physician if any of the above symptoms lasts two weeks or longer.

RISKS: Risk factors for developing cancer of the testicles include Klinefelter's syndrome. This is a condition in which males have an extra X chromosome. This type of cancer is more common among caucasian men than black men. Hispanic, Asian, and American Indian men have a risk that is higher than black men but lower than white.

There are a number of factors that increase the risk for developing the disease. A primary risk factor is cryptorchidism (undescended testicles). Surgery earlier in life reduces risk of testicular cancer among men with undescended testes.

According to an article recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine, surgery before the age of 13 for the treatment of undescended testes reduces the risk of cancer of the testes compared with surgery later in life.

Other possible risk factors include inguinal hernia and mumps. Physical activity is associated with lower risk and sedentary lifestyle is associated with higher risk. Also early onset of male characteristics is associated with increased risk.

Firefighters face higher risk of many cancers. According to the results of a study published in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, firefighters have an elevated risk of developing certain kinds of cancer. Others with occupational risks include Miners, gas workers, leather workers, food and beverage processing workers, utility workers.

Other genetic syndromes are also associated with elevated risk. As mention previously white males are more likely to develop this cancer than are males of other races. Nevertheless many men with testicular cancer do not show the suggested risk factors.

TREATMENT: Treatment options are based on the results of staging. Correct diagnosis is necessary to ensure the most effective and least harmful treatment. An incorrect diagnosis is made at the initial examination in up to 25% of patients with testicular tumors and may result in delay in treatment or a sub-optimal approach (scrotal incision) for exploration.

The three basic kinds of treatment are surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. As an adjuvant treatment, use of chemotherapy as an alternative to radiation therapy is increasing, because radiation therapy seems to have more significant long-term side effects, for example, internal scarring, higher risks of secondary malignancies etc.

Chemotherapy is the standard treatment for non-seminoma when the cancer has metastasized to other parts of the body (that is, stage II or III). An alternative, equally effective treatment involves the use of 4 cycles of Etoposide-Cisplatin (EP).

While treatment success depends on the stage, the average survival rate after five years is around 95%, and stage I cancers cases (if monitored properly) have essentially a 100% survival rate (which is why prompt action, when testicular cancer is a possibility is extremely important). Understanding treatment options, accessing new and innovative therapies through clinical trials, as well as understanding the role of supportive care and complementary and alternative medicine are essential.

CONCLUSION: Testicular cancer is a disease that develops in the testicles, a part of the male reproductive system. The exact cause is not yet known. Common symptoms include: A swelling and/or lump in one or both of the testes. It is necessary to understand that these symptoms may happen as a result of conditions unrelated to the disease.

Potential risk factors include the following: Age - Most testicular cancers occur in men 15 to 40 years of age. It has one of the best cure rates of all cancers, in excess of 90% and essentially 100% if it has not metastasized (spread).

It is diagnosed with the help of tests that examine the testicles and the blood. Your exact treatment will be determined by your doctor based on: your age, overall health, and medical history, stage of the disease, your tolerance for specific medications, procedures or therapies as well as personal preferences.

Want A Green Lawn, Care Tips

By Andrew Caxton


If you know a bit about green lawn care, you can enjoy a long, healthy lawn life that is beautiful. The fact is that to have a great looking lawn, you need to know the tips and tricks of maintaining it and that takes some work and education. Yet, you can have a lush, green lawn that looks amazing. To make this happen, you need to consider the various tips and techniques that can make it happen. The good news is that this also helps you to enjoy caring for your lawn as well.

A Few Things To Keep In Mind

The way that you mow your lawn is one of the most important things to keep in mind. The mow height is important and should be maintained at 2.5 inches. Mowing too low will cause a weakening of the grass root system which causes weeds to grow there. This weakening allows weeds to grow much easier.

Patterns Matter

Another element to consider is the direction that you cut in. Always try to change the pattern each time that you mow. Instead of going in the same direction each time, this will allow you to cut into the leaf surface of those dreaded weeds that are leaning in one way. In addition, doing this also helps to keep your soil from being compact. It improves the turf wear too.

Your Blades

Another thing to consider with lawn care is your mower blade. The blades need to be sharp. To have them sharpened; take the lawnmower in to the professionals at the beginning of the season to have the work done. By doing this every year it will help provide your lawn with a great growing pattern all year long.

Watering

Just as important in lawn care is the way that you water. When you water, water infrequently and be sure to water a long time so that it is deep and helps to develop deep roots. Measure the local rainfall and be sure to water at the same level so that your grass gets the water it needs without being overly saturated.

Pest Control

Yet another lawn care requirement is to monitor for pests. If you believe you have turf diseases, you may be mistaking things like dog urine and fertilizer burns for a pest problem. Have a professional handle the right treatment method for these troublesome creatures.

Using these lawn care tips, you will improve the quality of your lawn and enjoy an easy care program at the same time.
