Zero Gravity Massage Chair Recliners

By Jay Billings

Massage chairs are starting to add a feature known as the zero gravity position. The zero gravity position is known to support the body extremely well. In fact, it helps to better distribute the weight off of the spine. The zero gravity position was originally developed for astronauts during takeoff. It is now being used to better support the body in massage chairs.

Originally, NASA developed the zero gravity position as a way to reduce the stress put on astronauts during takeoff. The astronauts must pull many times the force of normal gravity.

NASA found through many trials and errors that the best position for an astronaut was to have them recline fully on their backs. Additionally, they found that by raising the lower legs above the heart they were better able to withstand more fours. This position was termed the zero gravity position.

Massage chairs have now incorporated zero gravity positions as standard features. Massage chairs are not going to help you get to the moon anytime soon, but they will help you relax.

The zero gravity position as it refers to furniture is meant to minimize the weight of the body on the spine. It uses a reclined position to spread the weight of the body over the surface of the back. This helps to reduce the pressure on the spine and rib cage.

Many massage chair companies have developed zero gravity positions. They utilize automatic controls which automatically put the sitter and the zero gravity position. This avoids having to make a number of adjustments to find a true zero gravity position.

One of the more popular zero gravity massage chairs is made by Sanyo. This is the DR 7700 massage chair. Sanyo has developed the DR 7700 massage chair with two different zero gravity positions. This enables the user to have a choice of different positions to find the most comfortable.

The zero gravity position seems to better spread the weight of the body. When I tried it, I did not feel weightless, but it did feel more comfortable. Each of the zero gravity positions would help to relieve the body's weight off of the spine.

We are starting to see a number of different furniture manufacturers produce zero gravity massage chairs. They come in any array of styles and prices. Each has its own different set of features and functions which are to attain the zero gravity position.

Some people routinely elevate their arms or legs to help reduce swelling. Of course, you can get this feature and some massage chairs but perhaps not all of them meet this. If not, you can achieve the same thing by putting a pillow under your legs in the recline position.

I like the trend that massage chair manufacturers are adding more positive features to their lines. Zero gravity is another feature which is important for relaxation. This helps to reduce the stress on the spine providing overall relaxation.

Some massage chair manufacturers elevate the legs higher than the heart with the leg rest. This has the additional benefit of helping to reduce swelling and promote better blood circulation. Not every massage chair has this position. So check them out to make sure they have the types of zero gravity position features you wish.

Affordable Car Insurance - and How to Get it

By Wayne Briggs

The number of people seeking for information on where and how to get 'cheap' car insurance has risen exponentially in the recent past. This probably has to do with the economic difficulties being currently experienced in most parts of the world, which are forcing people to reconsider their financial expenditure, as previously reliable income sources become less stable.

The rise in the number of people seeking for information on how and where to get cheap car insurance would be amazing to anyone who saw the situation a few years back during the 'boom' which has just bust - when most people, in their pride, tended to view the task of comparing car insurance prices as a task bellow their pride, backing their claim with the argument that the differences in prices between different car insurance providers 'were small' and simply not worth their time.

One might however argue that the search for 'cheap' car insurance is in fact the wrong search; given that insurance policies tend to differ in terms of coverage levels, so what seems like a cheap car insurance policy turns out to be very expensive when its features are more closely examined. The right search, one could be advised, is the search for 'affordable' car insurance rather than 'cheap' car insurance, affordable car insurance being one that offers a considerably good level of coverage at the best possible price.

And one way to get such affordable car insurance, as anyone who gets some insight into the workings of this industry is wont to aver, is by shopping far and wide; because car insurance prices can vary considerably from provider to provider. With the power of the Internet search engines, thankfully, this far and wide shopping for affordable car insurance should not be too hard - as the next car insurance provider on the web is always 'a click away.'

If you already have other types of insurance - say house insurance or life insurance, and the company offering them also offer car insurance, then getting the car insurance from them could afford you access to the considerable discounts they tend to offer those of their customers who take more than one types of car insurance from them.

Going online - and opting for online car insurance (that is, insurance bought through the insurer's website rather than through an insurance agent) is yet another step that can give you access to affordable car insurance, as this online car insurance is typically considerably cheaper than traditionally sold car insurance.

Settle Your Debts

By James Pynn

The loan industry incontrovertibly targets minorities. ACORN maintains African Americans and other minorities were, and still are, disproportionately targeted. They are burdened with significantly higher interest rates than their white counterparts, even when median income levels were comparable. The ramifications of predatory lending are families that are straddled with tremendous interest rates and significant debt. The end result seems to be foreclosure. Pursuing debt settlement and mortgage refinancing are viable defenses against the predators.

According to the Investors Dictionary, predatory lending is the practice of a lender deceptively convincing borrowers to agree to unfair and abusive loan terms, or systematically violating those terms in ways that make it difficult for the borrower to defend against." There is irrefutable evidence that predatory lenders have targeted, and still target, racial minorities, the undereducated, and the elderly. Although predatory lending is often associated with mortgages, other forms of predatory lending include credit cards, payday loans, and overdraft loans.

It is startling that predatory loans are collateralized. The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) supplies ample evidence that indeed the loan industry targets poor and minority families. Think predatory lenders work from underground lairs? Think again. ACORN successfully pressured HSBC Finance and H&R Block into changing some their predatory practices. Its been said the man who comes to repossess your home wears a suit and tie, not a ski mask.

To be fair, there is a number of subprime lending (the nice way of saying predatory) defenders. The National Home Equity Mortgage Association (NHEMA) claims the practice of lending high-risk loans is essential for some families that would normally have no chance of owning a home or own a car. They claim the laws targeted at predatory practices actually restrict the ability of low-income families to move to safer or more profitable neighborhoods.

Hidden in the foliage of mounds and mounds of paperwork lies a number of clauses designed to tear you apart. Welcome to the predatory lending jungle. Although there is no legal definition of so-called predatory lending, you need only turn on the financial news or skim the business section of any newspaper to see the far-flung effects of this monumental greed. Moreover, there are some laws in various states that target specific practices often identified as predatory. The loan industry is rife with corruption and the incredible number of foreclosures provides ample evidence.

Flowery Inspirations For Your Spring Ceremony

By Aaron Hu

The spring season is one where beginnings are born whether it is the growth of new plants, the reawakening of old one, or the birth of new animals. This season is also the beginning of the busiest months for marriage ceremonies. Harness the full benefits of the season with its dewy promise and extensive supply of spring plants and motifs as you plan your spring ceremony. If you are a newbie and have no wedding planning experience as either a bride or bridesmaid, this article is especially for you. Here are some great tips and ideas to help you plan your spring ceremony.

The first thing you need to think about when planning your ceremony is the location and the venue. Will you have the event outside or inside? This is very important as it will dictate everything from seating and timing to what type of decorations you can use. If you choose an outdoor location there are several considerations that come into play. First, you need to check the weather forecast. Is it feasible to do it outdoors? If it rains do you have a back up locations or adequate sheltered seating for the guests in case of a spring shower? There is also where outside that you choose. A popular location is a public garden or you can have it at an estate rented for the occasion. For decoration you will normally use floral decorations and arrangement to mark where the altar will be. In doors you will still use floral arrangements but you can also use other decorations like birds and other spring animals.

The next consideration is the bridesmaids' dresses. The season gives you a wide color selection to choose from; however the custom is to normally choose pale or pastel colors. It is important to take into account your bridesmaids' natural coloring. While you don't want them to overshadow your dress, you don't want them to look bad. Again the wide color selection also gives you the opportunity to vary the color selection between dresses but only do so if using one color is detrimental to the coloring your bridesmaids.

The grooms are the next focus of your planning for the ceremony. Make sure they like their female counterparts choose appropriate colors. For them this will be their ties, vest, and boutonnires. It would probably be a good idea to use the same type of flower for the boutonnires. You can also have the groom himself dress according to seasonal theme.

Last of all, there are the design ideas for the flower girl and the ring bearer. For the flower girl the same idea generally applies that you used for the bridesmaids' dresses. Pick something that is a pastel or spring color. Some great touches are to have her wear a wreath of spring blossoms and use flower petals in a basket or a small bouquet. For a more adorable book try dressing as a flower fairy with wings. For the ring bearer keep it simple. A tuxedo with a pastel colored vest or a suit completely in a pastel shade of your choosing. As for the ring pillow there are many options to choose from. You can go with a plain pillow in spring colors or go for one with embroidered floral designs. The choice is yours.

Caravan Insurance

By Timothy Simons Grimshaw

It is important to buy caravan insurance because you want to protect yourself against the costs you might incur if your caravan is damaged accidentally or because of a fire, a theft, or bad weather.

The majority of caravan insurance policies will cover any damage that has been genuinely caused out of the owners control by fire, flood, bad weather, accidental or malicious damage and theft.

Your removable possessions stored in the caravan will also be covered up to a limit defined in your policy (typically 300).

The possession cover will not cover small valuables such as jewellery, money and credit cards; these should be covered under all the risks section of your household contents insurance policy. The caravan contents insurance is intended for possessions that you cannot be expected to take with you such as furniture, curtains cutlery etc.

You have a responsibility to ensure that your property is secure to the best of your ability, there will be no cover if you leave the caravan unlocked or leave valuables lying out in the open under an awning for example.

The same applies to your actual caravan, i.e. if it gets stolen and you did not fit it with a wheel clamp and a hitch lock, you will have no cover.

Check for restrictions due to the security on the caravan site. There may be different requirements for security, for instance an insurer might insist that a static caravan may only be stored on a registered holiday park (i.e. HPA or British Holiday Home Parks Association graded sites). In addition the insurer may insist that the caravan site is protected by hedging or fencing at its periphery.

If you wish to have damage to awnings included in your caravan insurance policy, then that is usually possible at a small extra cost, depending on how old the awnings are. Usually, if the awnings are older than 7 years then they cannot be covered.

Coleslaw - Why I Love It

By Mike Sasaki

Coleslaw (or Cole Slaw) is a salad consisting primarily and minimally of shredded raw, white cabbage, although it often includes shredded carrots. There are many variations of the recipe which include the addition of other ingredients, such as shredded red cabbage, pineapple and apple. It is always mixed with a dressing which traditionally consist of or be based on vinegar or vinaigrette though modern cole slaw often contains mayonnaise, milk, or creme fraiche, especially in the US. A variety of seasoning may be added. The dressing is allowed to settle on the blended ingredients usually for several hours before being served. The cabbage may come in finely-minced pieces, shredded strips, or small squares.

The term arose in 1794 as a partial translation from the Dutch term "koolsla" meaning "cabbage salad". It was commonly called cold slaw in England until the 1860's when "cole" meaning cabbage was revived. "Cole" originated from the Latin colis meaning "cabbage", and is the source of the Dutch word as well. The term coleslaw is a late 19th century term, which originated in the United States.

This is my absolute most favorite coleslaw recipe.

Ingredients: 1 1/2 Pound (cored, quartered, shredded) Cabbage, 3 Tablespoons Vinegar - Cider, 2/3 Cup Mayonnaise, 1 Small (grated) Onions, 2 (grated) Carrots, Seasoning - Salt.

Cooking Directions: 1. In a large mixing bowl, toss the cabbage with the vinegar and salt. Grate the carrots and optional onion directly into the bowl. Add the mayonnaise and toss well.

2. The slaw can be served immediately, it is much better, more tender, if allowed to stand and tossed occasionally for 30 minutes. For a very limp slaw, refrigerate several hours or overnight.

Regardless of what you think of coleslaw, you are guaranteed to love this recipe. And the great thing about coleslaw is that you can easily modify it to suit your taste. For example, if you like things spicy, you can add spice. If you like mayo, you can add mayo.

Getting Into Sac

By James Pynn

The Golden State is shot-through with big cities. From San Francisco to Los Angeles to Newport Beach and back up the coast again, there are no shortages of big cities to choose from. To be sure, smaller college towns like Berkeley, Davis, and Irvine also get folded into the Golden State batter. With all of these options, what makes Sacramento the capitol?

Named by the Spaniard, Gabriel Moraga, Sacramento was little more than a trading post when John Sutter arrived in 1839 from Switzerland. Within ten years he and his heirs would guide the transformation of the trading post into a military barracks for the U.S. Army and eventually into an incorporated city. Sacramento is the oldest incorporated city in the state, having been invested in 1850. This does not mean it is the oldest, however, as that distinction belongs to Monterey.

After the Mexican-American War (1846-1848), the capital of California was moved from Monterey. The first city to be designated the new capitol was San Jose. When the state legislature met there in 1850, it was argued the capitol should be moved further inland to avoid retribution either from Mexico or the Spanish Empire.

With James Marshall's famous discovery of gold in the American River in Coloma, Sacramento's fortunes were about to change. In the years that followed, Sacramento became the inheritor of the California Gold Rush. The city flooded with new residents and economic prosperity. As evidence of Sacramentos growing importance, the Transcontinental Railroad terminated in the city, solidifying it stature as the gateway city to California.

With brief stints in Vallejo and Benicia, the capitol was moved, finally, to Sacramento in 1854. Taking advantage of the citys tremendous infrastructure and rail access, the Constitutional Convention named Sacramento the permanent capitol of California in 1879. Inspired by the nations capitol, the California State Capitol was not actually completed until 1874, where it stands to this day in tribute to the vision and foresight of John Sutter.

An Apology to a Girlfriend that Works

By TW Jackson

First of all, you need to acknowledge her feelings. How many times has she said something to you, based on emotion, and your response to her has sounded something like that's just silly or worse, your ignored her feelings altogether? This is not a good way to start an apology. Acknowledge her feelings and let her know that how she feels really is important to you.

It is very difficult to explain your side but you need to do it anyway, for it is basically an important element of an effective apology to a girlfriend. It doesn't matte whose fault it is; the important thing is that you learn to acknowledge your faults and ready to say a sincere sorry.Try not to say things that will make her feel that it's her fault.

Try not to point the blame on her. Show her how sorry you are for the things you said and did and how bad it made you feel. Showing her the humble you will surely make her want to ease the guilt you are bearing.

There's nothing more effective than a sincere apology. Apologize without condition. Whatever happens, just be consistent and sincere to give an apology to a girlfriend.

Is is appropriate to ask an apology to a girlfriend in a bus, mall, or on a street? Definitely not! Do the apology appropriately,be sensible enough to know when and where is the right to do it.

Can You Still Get Your Boyfriend Back After a Big Blow

By TW Jackson

The breakup was too vulgar that even people from a distance recognized how serious it was. It had become the item of the day because you were not able to conceal the conflict.

You never cleared out how strong the problem has been affecting you until you saw yourself in the mirror. You have taken yourself for granted and it has worsened your misery.

Upon realizing that you've lost the man you love, you begin to blame yourself from misbehaving and think of a way that will help you get him back.

So, what did you do?

Upon realizing the stupid things you've done, have you figured out what to do to have him back?

You pleaded to make up.

You humbled yourself.

You swallowed your pride.

The annoying calls you did every ten minutes has provoked him and put the chance of getting him back in an odd situation. You scared him away instead of drawing him close to you.

But our hearts often lead us into doing senseless things that put our plan to get our ex back in jeopardy. We always believe more on what we feel rather than what we think.

Thinking it over before jumping into what your heart tells you is far better than allowing your heart to rule over everything.

On the contrary, is there any way to make him come back to you instead of pushing him away?

San Diego Weight Loss Experts Agree That A Healthy Diet Is Important In Obtaining Weight Loss

By Ben Pate

A San Diego Weight Loss expert can help you to lose weight in a healthy way. You will become thinner, and have more energy. The one important factor that indicates your success, is your willingness to stick to a healthy plan. If you do not follow the plan, you can not expect it to work.

In order to stay healthy, and avoid becoming overweight, we all must pay attention to what we eat. It is not so much what we eat that causes us to become overweight, but rather, how it is prepared, and portion size. An occasional, carefully chosen meal at a fast food restaurant is ok, but, we must chooses wisely.

If you must eat in a fast food restaurant, be sure to choose the healthiest items available. Salad, fruit, and vegetables are the best choices. Avoid purchasing anything which is in a sauce or gravy. This is where a lot of calories are hidden. Frequently a person will choose a salad, thinking they have made a great choice, only to discover that contains as many calories as the other fast food meals. However, certain dressings, mayonnaise, and even sugar may be included, and contain many extra calories.

Believe it or not, the key to creating a caloric deficit is to eat more. No, this is not a typo. The more you eat, the more your metabolism will work to burn it off. Some where along the line, we were all convinced that calories are not important. Guess what folks, they are! You must choose foods with the most nutritional value and the least amount of calories, in order to achieve a healthy weight loss. If you have struggled with your weight for a long time, and just can not seem to get rid of the extra, it is time to throw away all of the "diets". Low fat, Low carb, etc, all work for the same reason, they reduce calories. The problem is, they leave you feeling hungry, and nutritionally at a deficit.

Who ever heard of a diet where you could eat all day long. Well, now you have, and it works. You will never be hungry, and you will still lose weight.

Think about it, this makes sense. Have you ever heard of anyone becoming overweight from eating too many carrots? Of course not. This is not possible, and that is why you can eat as many fresh vegetables as you like, without ever gaining weight.

Whole grains are the best choice when choosing bread, and other carbohydrates. These will allow for a higher nutritional value, unlike many breads which have very little. Fried foods, fast foods, and those containing high amounts of sugar should be eliminated. Only the leanest meats should be chosen. Just ask a San Diego Weight Loss Program expert.

Exercise is necessary for weight loss. It is also necessary to keep the weight off, once it has been lost. San Diego Weight Loss is certainly included in these benefits.

How Graphics Cards Operate

By Jim Samposzi

When one is watching a video clip or feature, he/she are usually unaware of the forces going on behind the scenes to bring on the display of the video. There is good amount more than just analyzing, playing, and transforming the signal into something readable. Whether it is a simple text animation or a complex 3-D rendering, video cards allow you to view videos and other media on the computer.

A chip for video is sometimes referred to as: display adapter, graphics card, or graphics accelerator card. In short, the machine picks up the data from the file and sends it to the video chip card, in the expansion slot, to process the data and return a display to the monitor. This process happens rapidly before it is noticed; most video cards reduce flickers and dead spots.

Video cards usually have input areas in the back to support various devices or media players. These ports basically connect the device to the computer so that it can send video to it for processing and display. Some of the most well-known ports include:

* Video Graphics Array (VGA) - This is common to many computers and is not seen on machines today. It looks similar to a rectangle box slot with holes in the center. This is the oldest of output for video technology and is not used anymore because the quality is not as good.

* Video In / Video Out (VIVO) and S-Video - This series of sockets allow for 3-D rendering by transcribing this information into computer language. These kind are seen more in computers nowadays and support a clear picture, LCD, and plasma. The socket round and have dots in the middle. Most machines and monitors label this as S video.

* High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) - HDMI is a bit more high-tech and supports games and movie files. This type of input allows for security over intellectual properties.

* Display Port - These types are the newest technology in video connection and is known to be capable of putting all other connections to rest. It supports seamless video rendering without interruption.

Whatever connection is being put to use, computers all analyze and generate video from a microchip. The chip set of this card includes components that make it work. These components are: video bios, video memory, and RAMDAC (Random Access Memory Digital to Analog Converter). The video bios exists as a simple guideline of how the PC has to process, read, and display the video. The video memory then kicks in to allow for streaming. Finally, the RAMDAC converts an analog signal to one of a digital data type so the machine can show the video. Although some computers no longer need RAMDAC, due to the creation of monitors with this capability already included, though all PCs still need it to run the video clip.

Not all individuals that play videos know exactly how it is working. Most people like being able to access videos in seconds. The processes aforementioned calculate so quickly that the viewer never notices them. However, there is much more than meets the eye when you click play on your media player.

What Makes A Good And Effective Gym Program

By Simon Mason

A number of health conscious people are enrolling in a gym as a direct outcome of the trend to stay fit, slim and healthy throughout the globe. However, if you have already managed to get rid off the extra kilos, you must focus your attention on muscle growth to get into a well built shape.

If bodybuilding is what you are aiming at, you must obtain a good gym membership. You will get enough assistance in a gym and also the essential exercise machines and the combination will help you to stay enthused and make good progress to achieve your fitness goals. After you have enrolled in a gym, you should go by an appropriate exercise plan so that you can reap good benefits out of your efforts.

The primary thing to do is to get your exercise schedule charted out. A gym trainer can help you set your fitness goals and tell you comprehensively as to what you need to do to realize your objectives. Your entire weekly routine must be in place well in advance, and this must include the amount of weight you will lift, the type of exercises you will perform and the number of repetitions you plan to do for a particular exercise.

Mental gearing up before you start your daily exercise is a must to put you in the correct mindset. You must shrug off sluggishness and a lethargic attitude, as these will hamper your efforts and may even pose health risks. To stay committed to your programme, you should maintain high levels of dedication and stay in a competitive and spirited mood.

Keep record of your progress after you have initiated yourself into a gym schedule. This will make you stay on the right track and provide you with a sense of direction and control. Putting down your progress in writing and seeing it on paper will increase your motivation and propel you towards achieving your goal.

If you have registered with a good gym with expert employees, they must be able to guide you about the technique that you need to follow for a specific exercise in your gym program. But if you get a hint that you are stuck with an inexperienced trainer, then it is always advisable to cross check from a bodybuilding guide or on the internet whether the technique you are being instructed in is scientifically proven and safe.

Lastly, one should concentrate on his diet, which forms an essential aspect of any gym programme. All good gyms have in-house dieticians, who can suggest you what and how much to eat so that you get sufficient quantity of carbohydrates and proteins to complement your exercise regime.

How To Improve your Chances of Winning the Lottery

By Coral Larsen

If you want to improve your odds of winning a lottery, you must join a lottery syndicate. This will make you thirty six times more likely to win than if you purchased a lottery ticket on your own. Yes, the jackpot will be split up between several people, however there is a much greater chance of getting a prize than there would be if purchased separately, even though the prize would be larger.

It has been said that over a quarter of all lottery wins are won by lottery syndicate groups. This is a very high number, proving a much higher chance of winning the jackpot. Normally, as a member of a lottery syndicate, the average person spends a lot less than he would if he was purchasing the tickets on his own. It costs less, but the chances of winning are much higher. That doesnt leave much to the questioning of whether to join one or not.

Though, to be completely fair, one must realize that joining a syndicate can have its drawbacks as well. The biggest one being that the prize will be split between several different people. This means that, if you win, you may have enough money to buy a new car or even a new house, but will not likely be able to quit your job and live off of the winnings.

If a syndicate is not set up properly, there could be many problems that could arise. One is that a greedy syndicate member could decided to keep all of the winnings for himself and the other syndicate members would have to try and prove that they have been ripped off. Another potential problem is that one member could forget to pay their dues, but still expect a chunk of the winnings, since he or she has been involved in all of the past drawings.

The best thing to do when joining a lottery syndicate is to find one that has legal backup. There should be legal contracts involved, stating who gets the money if the lotto is won.

The benefits to joining a lottery syndicate far outweigh the negatives. As long as it is put together well and you know that the prize amounts will be smaller, there is absolutely no reason to hesitate to join one. It is best to do a little bit of research and find one that works well for you.

The 2009 Jeep Patriot New And Improved

By Andy Zain

The good points of the 2009 Jeep Patriot far outweigh the bad. The availability of awe inspiring off-road capabilities coupled with astounding cargo room top the list of functional features. The only negative is the acceleration capabilities, or lack thereof.

While the bulky boxy styling of the Patriot leaves no doubt that it is all Jeep, it doesn't handle like a jeep. If you liked the Cherokee you will love the newly improved Jeep patriot. With it's standard issue 174hp 2. 4L engine and manual five speed transmission, it is obvious that this jeep was designed, in the spirit of all the jeeps before, to see off-road duty as much as on-road errands. With the optional Continuously Variable Transmission, commonly referred to as the CVT, when applied to the front wheel drive sport trim model, can be powered by an 158hp 2. 0L engine.

Poor weather driving is improved through the use of the "lock" mode. The lock mode is available as part of the optional four wheel drive system. The other choice for the Patriot's drive train is front wheel drive.

The Freedom Drive Off-Road Group includes some equipment that is normally seen on SUV's with a much higher price tag. Some of that equipment is a continuously variable transaxle with low range that is engaged by activating the off road mode. Other features include hill descent control, an extra inch of ground clearance and locking differential.

The Patriot comes with a 9. 1 safety rating, and some pretty cool safety features. Let's start with the basic front and side curtain air bags, and then move on to the electronic stability program. As impressive as that is, you also get tire pressure monitoring and anti-lock brakes. Stability control is programmed to sense when the vehicles preset handling limits have been exceeded. At this point the system either decreases engine power or applies select brakes to aid the driver in maintaining control.

The Patriots available off-road capabilities are far superior to those of other class comparable SUV's. Also standard are some unique features in the form of overhead air bags to protect against head injury should the patriot roll over or be involved in a side collision.

Some new equipment for 2009 includes an upgraded interior, with improvements to the instrument panel, door trim panels, and centre console. The u connect multimedia system is unique, with it's 30 gig hard drive for storing music and pictures. As well as possibility for wireless cell phone link and a navigation system with real time traffic capabilities. The Patriot will most likely spend most of its life on pavement as a daily driver, but it's low price tag combined with its exceptional off road abilities make it a true dual purpose SUV.

Information On Skiing : What Clothing Do You Need?

By Margaret Thatcher

Ski clothing is the topic for this part of our learn to ski guide.

To ski safely and properly, you need to wear clothing that protects you against cold temperatures, external humidity and internal dampness, and, for a week of skiing, it's recommended that you take with you: fleece top x 3; sweater x 3; goggles x 1; hat x 1; headband x 1; thermal underwear x 2 sets; ski gloves x 1 pair; ski jacket x 1; ski pants x 1; ski socks x 3 pairs; sunglasses x 1.

Three layers of clothing are recommended, including a base layer, an insulating layer, and a protective layer, in order to trap more air and keep you warmer than one single layer. The outer layer should be waterproof and windproof and should be made of a 'breathable' material that allows perspiration to escape.

Go for a jacket that is insulated with either eider-down or goose-down (the same goes for ski pants), as they provide the best protection, then under that wear a fleece, as they're warm, light and dry quickly, and then under that wear a sweater made of wool or acrylic.

Gloves must be flexible enough to promote good handling of your ski poles, but must also be warm enough to protect your fingers and hands; and wearing a warm fleece hat that covers your ears will keep your body heat from escaping through the top of your head.

Only wear one pair of socks at a time (wearing more reduces the blood circulation to your feet and makes them colder) and avoid blisters by wearing thick ones made of stretchable material. When it comes to underwear, choose wool thermals, which will provide more protection and warmth than cotton underwear.

Sunglasses need be shatterproof and need to wrap securely around your head and ears, and should provide 100% protection from UV, or ultra-violet, rays. When you ski in rain or snow, you may wish to consider wearing goggles in addition to sunglasses.

Purchasing brand name ski clothing can save you in the long run, as the brand name manufacturers have a reputation for better quality.

If they find one of these conditions, the first step will be arranging treatment for them. If there is any existing inflammation of the surrounding tissues in your wrist, your doctor will prescribe NSAIDS or other medications that will help the swelling go down. Sometimes just reducing the swelling will relieve the sensations you are feeling as the nerve gets more space.

Your doctor will make a thorough examination to get to the root cause of your carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms. You can discuss with your doctor the activities you regularly perform in order to come up with a plan in case you need to make adjustments to your daily routine to let your wrist heal. You'll also learn prevention strategies to keep the problem from flaring up in the future.

It's important to treat the condition to avoid permanent nerve damage. If you have experienced a loss of muscle strength in your hand, you will be given an exercise regimen to help rebuild strength after you have gotten relief from your symptoms.

Another common treatment for the condition involves injections of corticosteroids to reduce the pain and inflammation. This treatment can be very effective in relieving pain, but if you are diabetic you should exercise caution, since corticosteroids may have an effect on insulin levels.

In most cases, you will be advised to adjust your activities and avoid tasks that may exacerbate your symptoms. If you cannot avoid these activities entirely, you'll need to take breaks often so that your wrists get rest from the continual strain.

If you are seeing a change for the better, your doctor will probably recommend more of the same. If your symptoms are getting worse, you may go through further testing to evaluate you for surgical treatment. Carpal tunnel release surgery cuts the ligament that forms the top of the tunnel your median nerve runs through. This will release the pressure on the nerve and ease your symptoms.

The surgery usually solves the problem, but sometimes there is residual numbness or pain due to permanent nerve damage. After surgery, you'll need to take several weeks off of work to let things heal. If you want to avoid surgery, you may want to ask about exercises and stretches that you can try.

If you prefer to avoid surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome, you can try stretches and exercises to relieve your symptoms. You might also consider enlisting the help of a physical therapist to coach you in additional treatment techniques.

How To Get Rid Of The Bags Under Your Eyes.

By Peter Albertonach

Are you getting dark bags and circles under your eyes as you age?

So many aging women ask about how to get rid of bags under the eyes. There's various causes of bags under your eyes, so I'd like to consider what cause bags under eyes, and what to do about it.

So what does cause those nasty dark bags and circles? Well aging does it, but that's a bit simplistic.

Lets dig a little deeper than that, because not all women suffer, and theres reasons for that too. So why do some women get bags under their eyes and others dont?

As you age your skin starts to lose 2 important skin proteins that help keep your skin young.

As you age your skin loses collagen and elastin, and these are responsible for skin elasticity. Skin elasticity is what helps keep your skin in place.

And less skin elasticity means more skin wrinkles, lines and sagging, including under the eyes.

But that's the causes of skin aging in general, lets have a look at what factors there are for your eyes specifically.

1. Puffiness under the eyes.

Puffiness under the eyes is usually caused by a build up of fluid under the eyes. This can be caused by a number of factors like poor fluid drainage and fragile capillaries. If capillaries break, for example, fluid can leak into the flesh under the eyes and this starts to cause that puffy dark look. And loss of skin elasticity contributes to it too.

2. Medical causes.

Some medical problems, for example kidney and thyroid problems can also cause this.Get your doctor to check this out.

So how do you combat those bags and dark circles under your eyes?

Step 1.

Eliminate the possibility of medical problems. The proceed onto step 2.

You need to select some very high quality skin care products that target both the general causes of skin aging, like loss of collagen and elastin, as well as the specific causes of the bags.

Most products don't do anything to restore your skin's stocks of collagen and elastin, but one product does do this very well.

It doesn't help putting collagen and elastin in the bottles, though this is how most products attack this problem.

One skin care product though tackles this differently by promoting more collagen and elastin production in the skin, and this works much better.

Step 2.

And make sure you use a products specifically targeted at the problems under the eyes. One Eye Contour Gel in particular works extremely well against bagging under the eyes.

This particular product utilizes some ingredients well known to combat the problems of bagging and that have been shown by studies to work very fast. Ingredients like Eyeliss and Haloxyl.

Using a product with these particular ingredients is a formula for fast results against under eye bagging.

If you do that then you should get effective results fast.

Find out where to source products that work against bags under the eyes so effectively.

How To Choose Between Bankruptcy Or Foreclosure

By Janet Smiley

Anyone considering whether to file bankruptcy is probably going over and over all the impacts of filing both over the short term and the long term. One huge matter to consider is foreclosure of your home, and particularly whether foreclosure or bankruptcy is worse for your credit score. However these two are so different, it's not really comparing apples to apples. Here are some basic issues you need to review when deciding between bankruptcy and foreclosure.

A foreclosure is based on the mortgage loan you used to pay for the house, so it is mainly just like another type of secured loan, just like a car loan for example. If you are unable to pay your loan payments, the lender who is secured by your home, the has the right to repossess, or foreclose, on your home and use the funds from a sale to pay the debt you owe. As with failure to pay a car loan, a foreclosure is bad for your overall credit score, and will bring down your score significantly.

When considering bankruptcy however, this is a different situation. Bankruptcy allows you to eliminate or repay multiple debts or set up a repayment plan. Credit reporting agencies won't tell which is worse for your credit, a bankruptcy or foreclosure, but if you're in a bad enough position to file bankruptcy, it's likely your credit is already pretty bad. Thus a bankruptcy likely won't result in much lower of a credit score.

But there are some important issues to consider. If your lender has so far not foreclosed yet, and you decide to file bankruptcy, you could possibly still lose your home. The lender is permitted to ask for relief, which means the bankruptcy court can allow a sale of your house to pay your mortgage debt. This type of sale is most likely in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, in which your debt is discharged, while if you file Chapter 13 bankruptcy you can set up a payment plan and possibly keep your home. Use of a Chapter 13 could thus help you avoid foreclosure.

When it comes to your credit score, while a bankruptcy might not lower your credit score number drastically if it was already low, the fact of the bankruptcy will remain on your credit report for ten years. So, while in five years, for example, you could have a better credit score, a lender will still see that you filed bankruptcy five years ago, and turn down your applications for credit. Foreclosure is like any other repossession, and stays on your report for seven years, but after a few years you can qualify again for credit. You can see that credit score alone is not the only thing you need to consider when making a choice between bankruptcy and foreclosure.

Before choosing bankruptcy or foreclosure, it's best to talk to a bankruptcy attorney and also a non-profit credit counseling agency. These individuals can help you determine how your debt, income and expenses will play out in either instance. For some people, it's more important to protect their credit score; for others, it's necessary to use bankruptcy to start over cleanly. If you'd rather save your home, you ay not care about your credit score. Talk to a professional to find out more before taking any steps.

Great Places to Ride Your Bike in Idaho

By Pat J Walker

Idaho does have rather harsh winters, and the spring tends to be rather wet, as well, so the ideal time to go biking in Idaho is during the summer or beginning fall months, from about May through October. While the season is somewhat limited, the mountains, rivers, and gorgeous views in the state make up for the short biking season. And with more than 19,000 miles of trails statewide-with trails for riders at all levels of skill and experience-Idaho is a great place to go biking!

For a long, easy trek, try out the 11-mile looped trail at Mink Creek Recreation Area. Not far from Pocatello, they call this the Valve or Pump House Trail, and many beginners get their start here. The terrain isn't too technical, but it will give you a long run and get your heart pumping, so don't forget your water bottles.

If you want to get a great view of the nearby Saw Tooth Mountains, ride up on the 12-mile loop by Stanley called Elk Mountain. The climb isn't too difficult, you'll cross a few streams, and then the downhill route is pretty rocky going down to Elk Meadows, but overall it's a good trail for intermediate bikers. And the scenery and views are fabulous.

Goose Creek Falls is the perfect ride for the nature lover. You dont have to too experienced to enjoy this ride. Its a 12-mile track near McCall that takes you back to 45-foot waterfall. You will have to actually cross Goose Creek a couple of times either by a bridge, a log crossing, or on foot. Other than that, theres not too much complexity about the trail. You can even camp nearby.

The Schweitzer Mountain Resort has a fantastic network of trails that are very well maintained. You can climb up yourself or get a ride to enjoy a technically advanced descent. Turns with berms, bridges, and more is what you can expect from the 25 miles of trails here. Experience levels range from intermediate to advanced.

Adventure lovers who can't go fast enough will have a blast at the Bald Mountain Downhill Trail. Located not far from Ketchum, this is one huge hill with an increase in elevation measuring 3,000 to 4,000 feet. You can bike the entire 10-mile loop if you have the energy, but if you're more into the descent and the race downhill, consider taking the chairlift to the top for just $15. Be careful of hikers and other bikers coming down, and make sure your bike has a full suspension for this trail. You'll also want to have extra tubes and a repair kit in your backpack because you just might need them.

If you're planning to bike in the late summer or early fall-during the dry season-check out the nearly 19-mile route by McCall called the Bear Pete Trail. Don't even attempt it during the wet season! As it is, during the dry time there is still a boggy area, but if it's during the wet season, you won't even be able to get through. This is another tough trail best left to more experienced riders, but it's also a fantastic ride with incredible views. Following a steep incline and difficult climb, you'll get a view that lets you see clear to the Saw Tooth Mountains and Oregon. And there's a hot springs resort at the conclusion of the ride!

Since Idaho is very mountainous, advanced and adventurous riders are guaranteed to love it here. The terrain is rugged with valleys, rivers, and waterfalls that are spectacular to behold. The natural beauty of Idaho is just waiting to be enjoyed by bikers ready to accept the challenge. But don't forget-there are some great trails for beginning riders here, as well. There really is something for everyone in Idaho!

How To Pick Flattering Eyeglasses Frames

By Adam Webster

There once was a time when eyeglasses frames had much the same shape and were anything but stylish. Those times have long since passed. The new frames that are on the market are not only fashionable, but some of them are actually glamorous.

Eyeglasses frames have surpassed the frames of past eras in the area of fashion and fit. They offer many different frames in a variety of shapes and colors. There are frames that have the names of some of our favorite name brand merchandise and celebrities and there are frames with images of endearing characters. Frames today definitely have a lot more to offer.

Picking a flattering frame

The most important thing to consider when you are picking out a frame is choosing one that is flattering to your face. Your eyeglasses are something that you have to wear on a daily basis and you will want a pair that looks good. There are many things to think about before choosing your frame.

Consider your face shape: The face of your shape is a major factor when determining the right frames for yourself. For people who have more squared off faces you will want to pick frames that are slim or stream lined. Diamond shaped faces will require a more dramatic shaped frame like the cat eyed ones. Rounded faces need glasses that make them appear more elongated in the facial area. If you are not sure about the shape of your face then your optician will be there to help you choose a flattering frame.

Complexion base color: Your base color should be a huge factor in deciding on the color of your eyeglasses. People with warmer toned skin will want to pick frames that are red or copper colored, and those with a cool base color will pick blue or purple. The spectrum goes from warm to cool and there are neutral colors in between.

The size: Never pick frames that are so large that they seem to overpower you. You will want to pick the ones that are the right scale for the size of your face and head.

Frame material: This is very important since you will want frames that don't feel too heavy or don't cause a reaction on your skin. There are several materials that are used to make up eyeglass frames. Nylon frames are great for young children since it is very hard to break them. If you want a frame that is more flexible then you may want to pick flexon frames. If you have lenses that will weight quite a bit then you will want titanium frames.

Hinge durability: You will no doubt take your eyeglasses off several times a day. This can lead to excess wear and tear on the hinges. Consequently, you will want to choose frames that have very durable hinges. A good way to judge hinge quality is to examine the maker of the frames. Frames that were made in Europe tend to have better quality hinges. After all, you want your glasses to last for a while.

Picking the right eyeglasses frames does not need to be a difficult decision. By simply following a few simple guidelines, you will be able to easily choose the frames that are right for you.

How To Begin Learning To Play The Guitar

By Mike Wong

If you love performing, you will throughly enjoy trying to play the guitar. There's nothing more fun than showing off to your friends and family by playing their favorite guitar songs. Unfortunately, it is not easy to learn guitar for beginners especially if you don't have anyone to teach you. It takes time to master the guitar, and if you get frustrated easily, you may quit before you are able to play anything worthwhile.

To be successful guitar player, you need to start from the beginning. First off, your guitar needs to be in tune, otherwise anything you play will sound horrible. If you don't tune your guitar on a regular basis, the strings will become stretched and sound distorted. The standard tuning for a guitar is E-A-D-G-B-E. While there are other tuning you can use, it is best to start with this one first.

Once your guitar is in tune, you can start playing some notes with it. To play a note, take one of the strings, and press down on it on one of the frets with one finger, and pluck at the string with your other hand. Play around and do the same thing with different frets on the same string. Congratulations, you are playing the guitar.

With this new found ability to play notes on your guitar, you will want to start learning some chords. Looking at a standard guitar chord chart, try to find a few chords that you can play. It will take some practice before you can start play any chords properly, but don't get frustrated. You will get the hang of them, and eventually you should be able to go back and forth between a few alternate chords at once.

You may become bored playing these simple notes and chords. Nothing will get you more excited about playing the guitar than being able to play your first song. To start, we are going to look for some guitar tabs to play. Guitar tabs are great because they allow you to start playing songs without having the ability to read sheet music and there are tabs for almost any song. The tabs are a simple diagram that shows the 6 guitar strings along with numbers that represent the fret you should press for each note. What you should do is just pick an easy song to try and go over it until it becomes second nature for you to play. Take your time, and you will be playing the song in no time. Although there are still many skills to learn, you are now on your way to mastering the guitar.

Is Space In Your Relationship Needed?

By Andyl Bergerl

How much space in a relationship is necessary? The answer depends a lot on the type of relationship it is, and each person in it. Some people do better when they're together constantly, and others crave more of their own space in a relationship.

The hard part is finding a happy medium that both people are comfortable with. This is made more difficult when you each have very different ideas about togetherness and space. But as long as you can compromise on the level of space in a relationship that you both need, then you can work through this challenge.

Some people don't like to be alone. They're much happier spending all their time with coworkers, friends, family and their partner. When they're alone and doing things on their own they feel a little lost and lonely.

While others love to be sociable, there are others who love solitude. They are just happy to do things alone without the feeling of doing things for others which makes them exhausted easily at times.

Those two examples were rather extreme in some levels but majority of the people lie in the middle. They want time together and they also want to have a little space in the relationship once in a while.

So if both of you have met on the same ground, th easier it will be to be able to define where the spaces will be in the relationship. If however both of you are extreme and luckily on the same extreme side, then it will also be easier since both of you will certainly agree on the terms of space you both want.

The problems that arise is when one of you cannot agree on certain things. If you love having a bigger space and your partner does not like the time alone so much, then you both must be able to come into a compromise to be able to come into a common ground and when discussing with your partner, be sure to understand each others point of view then try to come up with terms in which both of you can agree on.

When both sides of the relationship are not open in communicating often, the space in between them can be a problem and also difficult to handle without both parties coming up with an agreement. If you are the solidarity type of person and your partner is the opposite, your partner may feel not loved due to your insistence of wanting to be alone.

If you love being with your partner all the time and your partner likes to have quality alone time frequently then your presence can affect their composure and will misinterpret your presence as a lack of trust and they will also think that you are around them so much to be able to monitor all their movements.

Pointers in Choosing A Warehouse

By Farrah Davies

With the enormous growth in city population, living area of city apartments and residences is decreasing at a very high pace. On the other hand, with greater buying power and rising consumerism, we all desire to purchase new things for our house. These two contrary changes have resulted in a great shortage of space for storing their articles, and this explains why storage firms are doing great business.

If you are looking for a warehouse to store your things you have to use some caution. There are many kinds of storage companies out there, and you should opt for the one that has the proper facilities in place to make sure that your important articles will be taken care of properly. Here are some important considerations that you must take into account while selecting a warehouse.

The most fundamental aspect of a good warehouse is security. The warehouse must have upgraded security systems installed to protect your articles from burglars. You will usually find good quality security systems like CCTV cameras, door alarms and electronic locks inside a good storage facility.

Your articles need to be guarded not only from burglars but also from fire. Warehouses are at risk of catching fires and so it is important that the warehouse is furnished with all essential measures for fire protection to safeguard your valuables. Advanced fire alarms must be installed in the warehouse, and the whole structure must be built of fire proof materials as far as possible.

Your articles should also be shielded from the extremities of weather. Weather becomes a crucial factor if you have stored valuables like old furniture or artworks that can absorb the moisture from the air. If you wish to store medicines or electronic items, then proper protection from excess heat may also be needed. To deal with these issues, the storage company must provide climate control technology, which can maintain the conditions inside the storage at an optimum level to avoid any harm to your articles.

Another natural factor that your articles need to be protected from is a pest attack. Pests are almost invisible and can cause irreparable damage to things like wooden furniture in a very short time. Therefore there should be proper pest control measures regularly implemented in the warehouse in the form of periodical spray of pesticides and ensuring proper sanitation.

Lastly, the warehouse must have workers who are always ready to assist customers. In most cases they will be involved in loading, transportation, and unloading of the goods, and if your articles get damaged in this process then it becomes irrelevant how good the storage facility is. Therefore, the company must have provided extensive training to the employees so that they know how to take care of a customer's items.

Are Divorce Settlements Fair?

By Moses Wright

A divorce settlement includes detailed information on the division of assets and debt as part of the divorce. Custody agreements that determine the primary custody and visitation arrangements may be part of a divorce settlement.

A divorcing spouse should avoid agreeing to a divorce settlement without understanding how every aspect of the divorce settlement will affect them. A divorcing spouse may be tempted to sign the papers hastily just to end the divorce process. While the divorce settlement may seem unfair, many times things are more complicated than they appear.

A divorcing spouse should carefully consider each component of the divorce settlement with a lawyer. Before signing the papers, the divorcing spouses should understand how every aspect of the agreement will affect them.

The division of debt is often a cause of conflict in divorce settlements. Spouses may blame each other for the debt.

A bank is not likely to remove one spouse's name from a loan if both names were on it initially. If the loan is not refinanced in the name of only one spouse, there needs to be a clear agreement on who was responsible for the payments. Unfortunately, if one spouse is held responsible for a loan and does not pay on time, it will affect the credit of the other spouse of their name is still on the loan.

Dividing retirement accounts and investments can be complicated and confusing. If a divorcing spouse has questions about the effects of how the investments are divided in the divorce settlement, the spouse should consult an accountant.

Many financial components of a divorce settlement can affect the divorcing spouses' finances. A spouse may assume that they will have the benefit of the total alimony payments for financial support only to realize when they file their tax return that alimony is taxable income. Therefore, they have to pay taxes on alimony.

Even if a spouse feels that they have done better in the divorce agreement then the other spouse, they may not realize there may be complications. Often, one spouse will receive the home while the other will have a larger share of the couple's savings.

However, to get cash from a home may require getting a home-equity loan which can cost money in the form of closing costs and other bank fees. This process also takes time which can add to the person's financial stress.
