Rotator cuff tears are a very common type of injury and the adult population, that occur especially after the year 40 or so. Although at times rotator cuff tears are caused by a fall or some other trauma to the shoulder area, more often they are caused by repetitive stress syndrome, an injury over time that occurs by doing things like repetitive lifting of heavy objects over the head. The rotator cuff is made up of four muscles and their corresponding tendons, that began in the area of the shoulder blade and continue up over the shoulder forming a covering or cuff.

Torn rotator cuff symptoms can vary from person to person, however for the most part in the case of those that suffer from a torn rotator cuff due to repetitive stress syndrome the symptoms are gradual and can develop over a long period of time. Typically at the beginning the pain is easily managed using aspirin or some other over-the-counter pain medication, after some time, however, it generally becomes necessary to seek medical advice because the pain becomes unmanageable. In the case of a fall or some other sudden trauma to the shoulder area the pain is generally set and acute, and can't be accompanied by a snapping noise and sudden weakness in the arm.

A person with a torn rotator cuff may have several options in order to get better. These options could include resting the arm for a long period of time, at mobilizing the arm by the use of a sling, shoulder surgery, or perhaps some therapeutic exercises that are done either at home or in the presence of a qualified therapist.

Have you ever heard the expression that there is a right tool for every job? Well, whoever coined that term must have been talking about hammers, because there is pretty much a different hammer for each and every different job. If you take a trip to your local hardware store and simply stop and gaze at all of the different hammers available, you could look for hours and still not see each and every hammer out there. There are simply far too many hammers to choose from now a days. With luck, this guide will take you through the wonderful world of the hammer and help you learn which hammer to use, how to store it and some of the best benefits of the high tech hammers on the market today. So, feel free to check out our guide and learn about some of the most well known and useful hammers ever made and how to get the most out of them.

Our world has gone completely high tech. For goodness sake, you will even be hard pressed these days to buy a hammer that is made from the traditional steel head and wood handle. Modern hammers are all made from high tech polymers, space age materials and feature all of these crazy design elements that are supposed to reduce shock to the users arm after a long day of hammering on the jobsite. But what if you do not want a fifty dollar reflex hammer that will absorb the shock of hitting a nail all day long and you instead just want a simple hammer that costs around five bucks. Well, those days are long gone, and you can now find a titanium hammer for around the same price as a metal hammer that was made from steel and wood. However, on the plus side, these high tech hammers certainly add to the hammer strength and create a more solid and stable design for long term use. You can now even purchase matching hammer storage options to help you find and locate your prized hammers no matter how dirty and messy your garage or tool shed is.

So now that you know what materials to look for when trying to find your perfect hammer, you need to learn what each of the different hammers is used for on the job. The first hammer, a chipping hammer, is not actually a hammer at all. Despite its name, this product is a power tool that is designed to chip away concrete for quick and easy removal. While this used to be done with a hand tool that actually looked like a hammer, it has long been replaced by an easier to use power tool. You can purchase this as a hammer kit with the tool and all of the required extras. Secondly, we have the drywall hammer. If you are not careful, you could almost mistake this tool for a small hatchet or axe, except one of its sides is not particularly sharp. One end of the drywall hammer is shaped like a hammer for pounding nails while the other end is designed for easy drywall installation and removal. Next, there is the hammer tacker which is more like staple gun than a hammer. This used to staple down carpeting and other flooring options with ease. Finally, we have the framing hammer. This is your traditional looking hammer that is simply used to hammer nails into a board or other piece of wood. These come in all shapes and sizes and some of the more expensive models even feature anti-vibration technology to help you stay comfortable while hammering all day long.

It is my experience that the vast majority of people on the planet are not "self-motivated." Unfortunately, those who "are" receive a great deal of admiration. This leaves the rest of us feeling pretty bad about ourselves. I believe we are simply bucking the natural current of being human. The first thing we need to do is stop beating ourselves up for being human. Accept it for the fact it is and let's begin to move into the solution.

Hiring a personal fitness trainer is one of the best ways to receive motivation. Make sure they are certified by an accredited organization and that they have some experience under their belts. Making a commitment to a friend/spouse/sibling/parent to go to the gym together is another good option. Partner training is very effective. Usually, when one of you is feeling less than inspired, the other one will offer the encouragement needed to get you to the gym. Fitness classes of all kinds are a super way to stay on track. The format may be appealing to you or the teacher may become a role model and motivator. Also, the comradery that often occurs, when you attend the same class for awhile, can be very motivating. Some people find that simply enrolling at a gym and making that financial commitment is motivation enough.

It is very important to have a goal or goals to strive for. They must be realistic, however, or they can backfire on you. Training for a 5K race that is 3-6 months away is realistic. Planning in January to drop 3 clothing sizes by spring is not realistic. Making goals that are attainable and then setting new ones when those have been reached is an excellent tool for staying motivated.

Take a look at your thinking patterns as well. You may have a lot of negative self-talk going on. That has to stop if you really plan to be successful. Become your own support coach. Whenever you can, catch yourself and either simply tell yourself "No, I'm not going to talk to myself that way anymore" or literally turn whatever you have said around, putting a positive spin on it. I can't stress this enough. The power of your own thoughts and how they create in your life is huge.

Finally, surround yourself with inspirational stimulation such as pictures, reading material, the TV show you choose and the radio/CDs that you choose to listen to ... these all matter. You are going to vibrate in accordance to anything that holds your attention, so choose wisely. As you vibrate, so do you create. Always remember that like attracts like, so submerge yourself in those things that are positive, uplifting and inspirational to you. You will succeed.

They are almost everywhere. In fact, online social networking websites are the most popular websites nowadays. Let us examine each one of them. First, lets talk about Myspace. Clearly, this one of the most popular and most successful online networking sites ever created. With hundreds and hundreds of thousands of users creating a new account to this site every single day, finding a new friend around your area or even from several parts of the globe is just so easy. All kids need to do is to create an online account for free, which will require them to supply some personal information. Kids need not to worry though because all the information that will be supplied will be kept at strictest confidentiality.

However, it will be best if kids that are under the age of thirteen wont register yet for security reasons (though many kids nowadays just lie about their real age just to be able to create their own account on Myspace). After filling up some forms and confirming ones registration, then all is set and done! A kiddie Myspace user can now start adding friends to his account just by a simple click of the button or even invite other friends to join the fast-growing Myspace community. He or she can also start posting and receiving some comments from other people. Moreover, he or she will also have the power to design his or her own page using some basic HTML codes that are widely scattered all over the Internet (just copy and paste the codes!). Indeed, on this particular networking site, every user has the power to design and interact as freely as he or she wants!

It will be best for kids to seek the help or attention of their parents or guardians while they are creating a Myspace account or any other online networking account for their own safety. On Myspace, if you are a user that is fifteen years old and below, your profile page is automatically set to private. This means that no one can view your page except you and the friends that you added to your account. If a particular user that youve added as a friend or any stranger on that site harasses you, you can immediately report that user or even block him or her so youll be left in peace. You also have the option to delete your own Myspace account any time if you think that it is not doing you any good.

There are many other online networking sites out there, like the equally famous sites of Friendster and Facebook. Friendster is also a great site to socialize with other people and meet new friends. It also has some features that the site of Myspace is using, although this site is also trying to launch their own special programs or services that it can offer to its own users. One user can also leave a testimonial from one page to another. Facebook is also a networking site that is garnering a wide popularity because of the cool style and features it displays to many people. It is recommendable for users who want to keep their privacy intact and only let their added contacts know the current activities theyve done, what they are currently doing and what will they possibly do in the future.

1. Wheatgerm in carp baits:

Many fisherman hook more fish on baits made with wheatgerm in the winter, but why is this?

Commercial aquaculture feeds often contain wheat germ at about 10 % of the dry feed mix to provide more easily digestible energy in cold water temperatures. Winter, colder water formulas often have a reduced protein content of fish meal for example, but with the addition of wheatgerm.

Wheatgerm has been proven in scientific tests to have a role in dietary fat and cholesterol assimilation: plasma lipids and cholesterol were significantly decreased by addition of these two wheat components in diets of rats. Many substances that reduce harmful cholesterol in a carps body can be put into bait, are very healthy, and are very attractive to carp as a result. These act to keep the liver and circulation healthy, among many other helpful roles.

A word about bad cholesterol or saturated fatty acids. In the correct ratio with, for example, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, these are helpful in the carps body for energy production. They are broken down by enzymes (globular proteins), in successive two-carbon fragments called acetates. These then oxidise in the cells to produce energy, which is used or stored using adenosine triphosphate.

Cod liver oil is a great carp bait additive. It contains a profile very much like the famous carp attractor fenugreek extract. it contains a volatile oil, and two or more alkaloids.

Many alkaloids are especially powerful carp attractors and many can be used for effective homemade fishing baits for many species. Trigonelline and choline in the cod liver oil accelerate the release of energy from the carps liver, and reduce glycogen deposition.

Fish seem to really enjoy these effects, and getting caught on bait containing these substances! (Cod liver oil is one of the richest sources of vitamins A and D in the world too!)

2. Lecithins:

In winter, it is recommended to drop oil levels slightly in your baits, and add an emulsifying lecithin. These make your oils into a water-soluble emulsion, making it much easier, very importantly, for the carp to digest your bait more effectively for energy.

Lecithins are very interesting ingredients. The newer enzymatically hydrolyzed ones have the best properties, including certain extra activity on other ingredients:

* Higher surface activity.

* Better emulsifying properties.

* Excellent emulsion stability, ('oil-in water dispensability.')

* Ability to interact with starch.

* Different kinds of interactions with proteins.

* Lecithins are derived from vegetable oil seeds, soya bean oil, and egg yolks.

They contain choline (a pre-cursor to betaine which assists natural lecithin production in the carp, reduces cholesterol levels in the liver, and is a major source of the essential amino acid in the carp, methionine) fats, inositol (essential at the cellular level for good functioning, especially in the intestine for digestion), and essential fatty acids.

Lecithins and wheatgerm are just 2 ingredients that can make all the difference, to produce great winter carp fishing results. It truly pays to discover as many bait edges as you can, for this colder season!

The author has many more fishing and bait edges up his sleeve. Every single one can have a huge impact on catches. (Warning: This article is protected by copyright.)

It was not long ago that I learned about success consciousness. What is success consciousness?

I am glad you asked. Success consciousness is defined as the azimuth of your being. In other words, you have greatness on the inside you and you call upon and exist in the highest level of consciousness you can.

The highest level of consciousness we have is success consciousness. In many ways, success consciousness is the opposite of failure consciousness. Failure consciousness is the lowest level of consciousness people have.

Another way to understand and appreciate success consciousness is remember a time in our lives when we achieve success. The feeling you had leading up to and while receiving your success is what success consciousness is. Having the ability to maintain success consciousness for sustained periods of time is living in success consciousness.

Knowing that you have the ability to sustain success consciousness is a clear sign, you will achieve more success in your life. Success consciousness is real for everyone conscious of their ability to make great things happen no matter the obstacles they are confronted with.

The "secret" to living a success conscious life is to never, ever give up on what you believe what you deserve in life. You can tap into your success consciousness by learning to reject failure consciousness.

You have experienced failure consciousness most of your life. How do I know this? For example, you have talked yourself out of accomplishing goals or trying a new business venture, or deciding to stop attending school. Failure conscious people also do not believe they deserve the best in life.

On the other hand, success conscious people live their dreams on a daily basis because they reject failure consciousness. Success conscious people never believe they will fail and have the confidence to not only dream big, bit live their dreams.

Tap into your success consciousness and win. You deserve to win and will win because you will tap into your success consciousness and the results will prove it. If you do not achieve success it is the direct result of failure consciousness and the self defeating thinking and inaction associated with it.

Win in this life with success consciousness at the helm. I will see you at the top.

If you are like many, you may find the possibility of divorce to be overwhelming and unaffordable. In addition to being a stressful and emotional time in your life, a divorce can also be financially draining. There are a number of ways, however, that a self help divorce can be achieved through a combination of quality divorce advice from a licensed divorce attorney and cooperation from both your and your spouse.

As most divorce lawyers will tell you, the least expensive way to achieve a divorce is through an amicable settlement involving both parties. If you and your spouse can agree on child custody (if applicable), alimony, the division of assets and other important information relating to the divorce, you may be able to achieve satisfaction through divorce mediation. Because a neutral third-party individual presides over the matter, both you and your spouse will need to seek the help of a divorce attorney if preferred. Although not required, a divorce lawyer can offer important information throughout the mediation process, including your rights under the current divorce laws and advice on divorce that you may not otherwise consider. A divorce mediation is quicker and more affordable than a lengthy litigation process through divorce court. There are several instances in which divorce mediation may not be an option, including a marriage that has a history of abuse or when one spouse is fearful of the other.

If you prefer to file divorce papers independently after having researched your own self help divorce information, it may still be to your benefit to consult with a professional divorce lawyer. In many cases, divorce attorneys offer a free initial consultation. It is important to inquire about this policy prior to scheduling a meeting, however, as every divorce lawyer has his/her own guidelines when it comes to client meetings and/or telephone calls. If you are able to schedule a free or low-cost consultation, it may be well worth your time to speak with a professional who can offer valuable divorce advice on your case. Because divorce lawyers are experienced and knowledgeable about local divorce laws, you may find that the information gained is priceless. Even if you choose to proceed with filing the divorce papers yourself, having spoken with a divorce attorney may prove to be helpful in the future. This is especially true if a problem should arise within the case and you can then retain the services of that same attorney who is already familiar with your situation.

In most areas, legal aid is also available to help those who are financially strapped and still need help with legal issues. Because the litigation process through divorce court is both complex and lengthy, the legal fees can quickly add up. In some instances, a trial may be the only option. For those who can work together, settle their matters in a civilized and fair fashion and wish to minimize their expenses, consulting with a divorce lawyer about various options may be a good idea. Unless you have a very good understanding of local divorce laws and the legal process in general, filing your own divorce papers may be difficult. If nothing else, a divorce attorney can help you to get the appropriate papers completed and filed while offering professional divorce advice to help make this stressful time a little less painful for all involved.

The information contained in this article is designed to be used for reference purposes only. It should not be used as, in place of or in conjunction with professional legal advice regarding divorce, child custody, alimony, self help divorce and/or divorce laws. If you are in need of divorce advice or are considering a marriage separation, consult with a professional divorce lawyer in your area for further information and/or divorce advice.

Statistics show that there is $210 million construction industry in the Wilkes Barre Pennsylvania area. This shows the vast growth of the construction industry in the area which contributes jobs and money to the city. With this in mind, it is important to anticipate the effects this industry will bring to the people of Wilkes Barre.

It has been known that asbestos has been one of the materials widely used in the construction industry because of its heat resistant and fire resistant properties. And as the construction industry shoots up, the asbestos use is in direct proportion to the inflation of the industry. Studies have shown that asbestos causes a type of cancer, which is mesothelioma. It is then logical to zero in the effects of this rising industry to the health of the people in Wilkes Barre.

People who are in the construction industry are at high risk for mesotholomia, which is the cancer of the mesothelium. The mesothelium is the tissue found as coverings of our internal organs in the abdominal cavity and the lungs. The cancer mainly damages the mesothilial cells, which makes up the mesothelium. Exposure to asbestos leads to mesothelioma. This happens when the little fibers is breathed in to the lungs, or coughed up and swallowed to make its way to the abdominal cavity giving rise to pleural mesothelioma (lung covering) and peritoneal mesothelioma (abdominal cavity organ covering). It can be spread to others when the asbestos collected in the clothing of the worker exposed to asbestos comes in contact with the family, relatives and friends. Mesothelioma is not an easy effect of the construction industry to deal with. Cancer can be physically, emotionally, spiritually draining.

The people living in Wilkes Barre should be made aware of this health concern brought about by the rising construction industry in the city. Extra effort should be made in order for the workers and family to properly protect them from mesothelomia. Wearing safety gear such as masks and gowns should be stressed when they will be in close contact to the environment where there is asbestos and/or changing their clothing before they interact with their families and friends after leaving the vicinity with asbestos before they come home from work.

Construction companies that offer jobs in Wilkes Barre should also be aware of this health concern. They should offer health insurance to their workers who might develop mesothelomia in the future or they could hold the permission to let their workers work in an environment that can lead to an increase exposure to asbestos. If exposure to asbestos can not be avoided they should take proper precautions and follow guidelines in order to decrease the detrimental effects of asbestos exposure to the workers.

For the workers and the companies' protection, there are lawyers specializing in this field, specifically construction law, where they can get valuable information especially on the legalities of this matter. They can also explain where each one stands so the parties concerned will know exactly what to do to work out the situation. These lawyers practice in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania and would gladly be of service to the people in the city.

People grab opportunities when they see one, but before plunging into a situation, people must be aware of the pros and cons. They should take appropriate action to protect them if the cons will cause them liability. Everyone should be aware of one's rights as a worker and as a citizen of a city where one lives in. Health should not be disregarded for profit. It pays to do something before it is too late. If this matter brings up a concern to someone you know, give them a favor and ask them to do something now. Act now because you don't want a disease like mesothelioma not be detected just because you live a fast-paced life in a place like Wilkes Barre.

Few career fields are growing faster than the computer tech field. Computer networking is a field experiencing almost uncontrolled growth. College degree programs are not able to provide the training necessary for success in specific areas of the field, and employers are dealing with sorting through resumes trying to determine who has the needed skills and training to handle a given job.

If you are entering this confusing arena, there is a path through the brambles. It is the Cisco Certification programs. Cisco Certifications are earned by completing courses and taking examinations that demonstrate your ability to work at the various levels within the networking field. There are three basic levels of Certification. They are Associate, Professional, and Expert. The Expert level represents the very highest level.

Although there are various methods to prepare for the Cisco Certification exams, one of the most successful have been the boot camps. The boot camps take their name from the military basic training concept of extensive training in a short time period. A CCNA boot camp will prepare you for the Cisco Certified Network Associate level. The camps run from one week to two weeks in duration, and they usually go seven days a week. The good ones prepare the student for more than just the exam. They also prepare him for the work he will do after he receives the certification. This is accomplished through hands on training under the guidance of expert instructors.

CCIE boot camp training will prepare you for that ultimate certification and the expert level in your field. You must have already earned the previous two certificates before attending this advanced class. CCIE boot camp training will not only prepare you for the examination and this highest of all Cisco Certifications, but will also qualify you as a legitimate Master of the networking profession.

It is never too early to begin your career preparation. If you think a career in computer networking is for you, prepare for it as early as high school. Discuss with your guidance counselor which courses will best prepare you for a higher education degree. If you are all ready finished with school, and beginning in the actual work place, examine your options for Cisco Certification based boot camps. It is the fast track to success. In this rapidly growing, and even more rapidly changing field, you need to be on top of the latest technology, or you will be quickly left behind.

Natalie Aranda writes about career and computers. CCIE boot camp training will prepare you for that ultimate certification and the expert level in your field. You must have already earned the previous two certificates before attending this advanced class. CCIE boot camps will not only prepare you for the examination and this highest of all Cisco Certifications, but will also qualify you as a legitimate Master of the networking profession.

Health conscious people often frown at the sight of smokers. This is because we have this notion that those puffing cigarettes many times each day are prone to getting cancer of the lungs. But did you know that lung cancer is not to be totally blamed on smoking cigarettes like what many of us believe? Surprisingly, it is the nonsmokers who are more at risk of getting the disease.

A new study has found that people who do not smoke can get lung cancer, too. The study, published in the February 10 issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology, revealed that people who never smoked can get the disease with women more at risk than men. Researchers from the Stanford University School of Medicine and the Northern California Cancer Center collected data from the United States and Sweden that monitored cases of lung cancer in more than one million people aged 40 to 79. They then calculated the incidence rates based on new cases per person per year. The researchers found that the incidence rate of lung cancer in women non-smokers ranged from 14.4. to 20.8 cases per 100,000 person-years.

Lead researchers, however, say that many factors can lead to this disease among people who never smoke. Exposure of women to secondhand smoke may be partly blamed for their higher risk compared to men. Co-author Ellen Chang, ScD, an epidemiologist at the Northern California Cancer Center, said secondhand smoke does increase the chance of getting lung cancer so the cases that we observe can be attributed to that. Meanwhile, lead author Heather Wakelee, MD, assistant professor of medicine at Stanford University, also said that although some environment pollutants such as asbestos, chromium, arsenic and radon may cause the disease in non-smokers, they have not been proven. When more concrete factors are eventually known, she said doctors will be able to understand more how cancer works allowing them to find new treatment.

Each year, over 180,000 Americans are diagnosed with lung cancer. The disease actually causes more deaths than other types of cancer like breast, colon and prostate. The researchers are hoping that their study will raise public awareness and help ease the stigma among non-smoking patients.

So if you want to avoid cancer of any type, whats the best thing to do? Very simple just eat the right healthy foods, get some exercise and stop smoking. In other words, changes in behavior and lifestyle are very crucial. Medical experts say dont do it later, next week or next month but right now.

Be cautious of what you eat and drink. Eating lots of fruits and veggies will surely lower your chances of getting colon, mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach and lung cancers. Avoid frequent consumption of red meat as much as possible as it can lead to colon cancer. Experts also recommended taking a multivitamin that has folate, a B vitamin, every day. As for drinks, wine and other alcoholic beverages should be taken in moderation as overconsumption leads to a higher risk of getting oral, esophageal, breast and other cancers.

Dont forget to stay active, too. Being overweight and physically inactive have been blamed for 20 to 30 percent of the most common cancers in the U.S. But losing weight, especially for women in their adult years, and increasing physical activity can make you less prone to getting the disease. Physical activity has also been found to have an impact on the recurrence of a cancer or survival of a patient diagnosed with breast cancer.

You probably will only be reading this if you are looking to build a list of your own. If you want to sell anything online you need a shop window to display your goods. The first thought is to build a cracking website which will really impress and draw in customers. Most of us have found out the hard way that the best website in the world is no good if no-one visits. Lets face it, there are millions of websites out there, so whos going to stumble upon yours?

The next step most people take is to advertise their site. They spend a fortune on Google Adwords or similar Pay per Click schemes, or perhaps they take the more time-consuming but cheaper route of writing articles or joining traffic exchanges. All of these work if used wisely and you put the effort ant time in. Many become pre-occupied with SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) but the odds of getting on that all-important first page of search results are very small.

There is nothing to compare with having your own list, the emails of people you can legitimately contact with news of product launches or more info on what you have to offer. Most of the English-speaking people you will come into contact with in cyberspace are from the Unites States, where spam (unsolicited email) is illegal. If you send out emails uninvited you can find your email account closed down very quickly and thats no fun. If you are going to build a prospect list the recipients must have agreed to receive mail from you.

So what can you do? First of all set up an account with someone like Aweber who will allow you to set up auto-responders for one list or many and ensure that your subscribers have truly opted in to receive your mailings, newsletter, ezine or whatever it is you want to send out. Then you need to build a campaign to capture prospects emails. You can use any of the marketing techniques you would use for your website and Aweber gives plenty of helpful advice. They must have a reason for signing up like freebies, special offers, or useful information.

To increase the number of prospects you can email you may like to join a safelist or list-building group. Some of these groups have huge memberships and when you join you are allowed to email them, but you must be willing to receive emails from them also.
