Traditionally, a bronchodilator is prescribed for use before exertion. This medicine is usually given by a metered dose inhaler (MDI) and a spacer. The bronchodilator works by relaxing muscles that surround the airways. When they are relaxed, the muscles can't squeeze the airways, and the airways stay open.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although this seems to work to some degree for many people, a bronchodilator before exercise may not be the most complete treatment because a bronchodilator does not treat inflammation. The swelling and mucus in the airways, therefore, can still be a problem. The bronchodilator before exercise treatment plan also does not cover the possibility of spontaneous exercise that is common among children, such as running outside to play ball with friends or racing to catch the school bus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;It is likely that many people who only have asthma symptoms with exercise have a low level of inflammation in their airways. In other words, their inflammation is not enough to cause symptoms while their bodies are at rest, but they do come on with exercise. These individuals may also experience mild symptoms during other times of biological stress, such as when they catch a cold. If this low-level inflammation exists, there may be long-term consequences as well. Some asthma researchers believe that constant inflammation can cause permanent damage to the airways. No studies have yet been done, however, to find out if there is long-term lung damage in people with asthma whose symptoms are brought on only with physical exertion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The possibility of low-level airway inflammation raises this question: Should people whose symptoms only occur with exercise take a daily anti-inflammatory medicine? This therapy would decrease or eliminate the inflammation. Daily anti-inflammatory therapy would also allow for better tolerance of spontaneous exertion. It might also increase their breathing capacity more than if they used only a bronchodilator before exercising. Consider Scott's situation:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whenever ten-year-old Scott exercised, he coughed, wheezed, and had chest tightness and shortness of breath. He had occasional wheezing in the spring, but otherwise he had no symptoms or complaints. He used a bronchodilator when springtime symptoms appeared. As a competitive swimmer, he also used it before swim practice and team meets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Halfway through the swimming season, his doctor suggested that Scott try an anti-inflammatory medicine, even though he had no symptoms. After a few weeks, his coaches noticed that Scott was swimming several seconds faster. Scott also became aware that he was able to swim faster for longer distances. His parents, however, did not renew the prescription for the anti-inflammatory medicine because Scott seemed better. Two weeks after stopping the medicine, Scott's times fell back to where they were before he started the medicine. Scott also noticed the change and asked his parents if he could restart the anti-inflammatory medicine. Within two weeks of restarting the daily therapy, Scott was again swimming faster.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While daily anti-inflammatory therapy might improve the athlete's performance, there is the increased cost of daily therapy in both time and money. Different health care professionals treat asthma differently, and each individual with asthma is unique. If your child has asthma symptoms when exercising or playing sports, talk to your doctor or nurse practitioner about whether a daily anti-inflammatory treatment is right for your child.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before Exercising&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If a bronchodilator is prescribed for use before exercise, it must be taken at least fifteen minutes before the exercise begins to be as effective as possible. A long, slow warm-up, such as easy running or swimming, before the actual practice, game, or event begins, may also decrease symptoms during exercise. In cold weather, wearing a scarf or trying to breathe through the nose during the early part of the exercise may help as well. Quick-relief medicines along with any necessary delivery equipment should be available during and after the exercise in case symptoms do arise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Young athletes with asthma may still seem to have symptoms even though therapy is being used. If symptoms occur when they are using only a bronchodilator before exercise, then it may be a sign that airway inflammation is present. Adding a daily anti-inflammatory medicine may decrease symptoms. If they are already using anti-inflammatory therapy and symptoms continue during exercise, a stronger medicine may be needed. Sometimes if a child with asthma has a cold, is having problems with allergies, or is having a mild asthma flare, then the airways will be more sensitive and symptoms during exercise will occur more readily. Limiting exercise on these days may be necessary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What Others Adults Should Know&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Coaches and gym teachers should be aware that your child has asthma and should allow him or her to stop, rest, or take quick-relief medicines if symptoms occur. Hopefully, this can be done without bringing too much attention to a child with asthma because it can affect self-esteem or cause embarrassment. Coaches and school nurses should know how to administer the medicines if necessary. Give a copy of your child's asthma management plan to coaches and teachers and review it with them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conditioning&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite adequate therapy, shortness of breath with exercise may continue. This symptom could indicate a lower level of fitness, which can be remedied by physical conditioning. Children and teenagers who were less active when their asthma was not well controlled have usually limited their exercise in general. Their muscles are therefore not used to the sustained demands of, for example, a competitive game of soccer, fast-break basketball, or a long, uphill hike.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some children and adults with asthma develop a sedentary lifestyle from an early age and may be overweight. But gradual physical conditioning that builds increased strength and endurance can have life-long benefits not just for their lungs but also for their entire bodies. Young athletes will sometimes need to be patient and condition their bodies by gradually increasing their degree of activity until they can participate to their full potential. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source: Article Devil&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3281172724248350228-4083308260625097973?l=4general.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://4general.blogspot.com/feeds/4083308260625097973/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://4general.blogspot.com/2009/01/asthma-symptom-prevention.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3281172724248350228/posts/default/4083308260625097973'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3281172724248350228/posts/default/4083308260625097973'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://4general.blogspot.com/2009/01/asthma-symptom-prevention.html' title='Asthma Symptom Prevention'/><author><name>therunk</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wr5QYMavnQE/SzLd2RoRJ4I/AAAAAAAABIk/J8BhrJgG2ZE/S220/ragil.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281172724248350228.post-1419600287760661677</id><published>2009-01-06T21:08:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-06T21:09:41.583-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='health and fitness'/><title type='text'>What happens when the uninsured go to the emergency room?</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;The U.S. Census Bureau reports that an increasing number of people are now unable to afford medical insurance. Some 47 million people do not have medical insurance. When they begin to fall sick, there is nothing that can be done if money is short. When it comes to a choice between food on the table and treatment, most people decide to eat. They hope they will get better. When health does not improve, there is no improvement in the choice to be made. If treatment remains unaffordable, they have to wait until their sickness worsens to the point it can be considered an emergency. At this point, people decide to go to the emergency room at their local hospital. Federal law is very clear. Hospitals are under a positive legal obligation to treat everyone who walks in through the door. It does not matter whether the emergency is real, in the sense of a traffic accident inflicting unexpected injury, or to some extent manufactured, where the condition only becomes an emergency because of a deliberate delay. People must be given treatment.  The difficulty is that most of the uninsured cannot afford to pay their bills. &lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;The hospitals can and do issue invoices for the treatment given and drugs supplied. This is also a part of the law. People have a responsibility to pay for their treatment. But hospitals are realistic about their chances of collecting. Continued pursuit for payment usually results in bankruptcy and the creditors only get a few cents in the dollar. So, hospitals make a rational decision. They spread all the unpaid bills among all those who can pay. In other words, whether you are paying out of your own pocket or you are relying on your own &lt;a href="http://www.healthinsurance-guidance.com/"&gt;health insurance&lt;/a&gt; to pay for your treatment, a percentage of every hospital's bill is a provision against bad debts from the uninsured. The irony is that everyone who is insured is also insuring all the uninsured for their emergency room visits.  If you have been wondering why your own &lt;a href="http://www.healthinsurance-guidance.com/"&gt;health insurance&lt;/a&gt; premiums have been going up so sharply of late, it's because there is a wave of uninsured people going to the emergency rooms around the country. The health insurers are having to pay more and this additional cost gets passed on in the premiums. Is it going to get any better? No. It's actually going to get worse. Ever more people are finding health insurance unaffordable. Even with sites like this which allow people to find the cheapest insurance around, many still find the premiums too much. That does not mean you should give up. Using this site will get you offers. Then it's up to you to negotiate directly with the insurer or its agents to get the best actual premium for the cover. It's not worth the risk of being uninsured. If at all possible, get some cover.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3281172724248350228-1419600287760661677?l=4general.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://4general.blogspot.com/feeds/1419600287760661677/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://4general.blogspot.com/2009/01/what-happens-when-uninsured-go-to.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3281172724248350228/posts/default/1419600287760661677'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3281172724248350228/posts/default/1419600287760661677'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://4general.blogspot.com/2009/01/what-happens-when-uninsured-go-to.html' title='What happens when the uninsured go to the emergency room?'/><author><name>therunk</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wr5QYMavnQE/SzLd2RoRJ4I/AAAAAAAABIk/J8BhrJgG2ZE/S220/ragil.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281172724248350228.post-5736511097377035443</id><published>2009-01-03T21:22:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-03T21:23:29.828-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='health'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='health and fitness'/><title type='text'>Talking about the diseases no-one wants to talk about</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;For some reason, there's a reluctance to talk about the sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). In a country where abstinence before marriage is one of the main measures to prevent STDs, actually talking about these problems is perhaps a little difficult. But, for once, we're going to break with convention and talk about one of the these diseases and the standard form of treatment. Chlamydia is the most common bacterial infection, mainly affecting younger people. You are at risk if you have multiple partners. The problem is that, in most people, there are no immediate symptoms and most are completely unaware that they have caught the disease. The bad news is that failure to get treatment once the symptoms do become apparent can lead to serious complications.  So let's get the ST element out of the way. You catch this disease by having conventional sexual intercourse, although it can also be transmitted by both oral and anal sexual activity. &lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;The symptoms to watch out for are fairly obvious. In men, you will find it painful to pass urine and/or you will find a discharge coming from your penis. In women, you will feel a burning sensation when urinating and/or produce a vaginal discharge. In both men and women, a failure to get treatment can cause infertility. However, if you have been engaging in oral or anal sex, the bacteria responsible can simply sit there without producing any symptoms. This leaves you as a carrier and the next time you have oral or anal sex, you can pass the bacteria on to your next partner.  If there are no symptoms, the only sure way to test for the condition is through swabs. In men, a urine test is not unreliable. The presence of the bacteria cannot be diagnosed from a blood sample. The standard form of treatment is the use of an antibiotic such as &lt;a href="http://www.zithromaxonline.net/"&gt;zithromax&lt;/a&gt;. Under normal circumstances, a single dose can be sufficient to clear up the problem. Some people find they experience some nausea and stomach cramps after taking the dose. This usually passes quite quickly. However, you should always wait at least one week before having sexual intercourse again. If your partner is also treated (which is a sensible precaution), you should both wait a week until resuming sexual activity. The final thing to note is that &lt;a href="http://www.zithromaxonline.net/"&gt;zithromax&lt;/a&gt; affects the way in which an oral contraceptive works. There is an increased risk of pregnancy if you resume sexual activity before the zithromax is completely clear from your system. Using a condom is desirable until you are sure pregnancy cannot result.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3281172724248350228-5736511097377035443?l=4general.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://4general.blogspot.com/feeds/5736511097377035443/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://4general.blogspot.com/2009/01/talking-about-diseases-no-one-wants-to.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3281172724248350228/posts/default/5736511097377035443'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3281172724248350228/posts/default/5736511097377035443'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://4general.blogspot.com/2009/01/talking-about-diseases-no-one-wants-to.html' title='Talking about the diseases no-one wants to talk about'/><author><name>therunk</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wr5QYMavnQE/SzLd2RoRJ4I/AAAAAAAABIk/J8BhrJgG2ZE/S220/ragil.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281172724248350228.post-8236969287507017876</id><published>2009-01-03T21:20:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-03T21:21:32.343-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='health'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='health and fitness'/><title type='text'>What does the US Government actually say about generics?</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;It is always pleasing to find a government agency with a specialized website. In this case, the FDA maintains a site devoted to generic drugs at http://www.fda.gov/cder/ogd/. There are over two-hundred-thirty staff whose task it is to ensure that the generic drugs approved are safe for consumers to use. Just to give you an idea of the scale of the operation, in 2004, there were 563 applications made to license the production of a generic drug. There were 880 applications made in 2007. In other words, a vast number of generic drugs come on to the market every year. They are in every way as safe and effective as the original branded version they now compete with. So &lt;a href="http://www.buygenericviagraonline.net/"&gt;generic viagra&lt;/a&gt; is identical to branded viagra except that it is cheaper.  &lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;As a part of its function, the Office of Generic Drugs in the FDA monitors and researches the way in which the market works when generics enter. The supposed advantage is that any competition from a generic manufacturer will force the holder of the patent to drop its price. The consumer therefore benefits immediately. But its research shows that one generic manufacturer has very little effect on prices within the market. The FDA has a detailed analysis of the market from 1999 to 2004 and price is not significantly affected until a second generic manufacturer starts to sell into the market. The reason is simple. When the first generic competitor enters, even a small price reduction gives it a market edge. But when a second company appears, the two generic manufacturers compete with each other to set the price for a generic version of the original drug. The average result is half the original branded price.  In fact, if you now look at the prices for &lt;a href="http://www.buygenericviagraonline.net/"&gt;generic viagra&lt;/a&gt; you will find it is often less than half the price of the branded version. The greater the quantity you buy, the better the price per tablet (plus the possibility of bonus tablets from some of the online pharmacies). This is a perfect working example of the research in action. It is also a perfect explanation for Big Pharma's dislike of generic manufacturers. Once two generic manufacturers start competing with each other, the original manufacturer's profit margin drops like a stone. It's great for the consumer. Bad news for the stockholders.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3281172724248350228-8236969287507017876?l=4general.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://4general.blogspot.com/feeds/8236969287507017876/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://4general.blogspot.com/2009/01/what-does-us-government-actually-say.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3281172724248350228/posts/default/8236969287507017876'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3281172724248350228/posts/default/8236969287507017876'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://4general.blogspot.com/2009/01/what-does-us-government-actually-say.html' title='What does the US Government actually say about generics?'/><author><name>therunk</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wr5QYMavnQE/SzLd2RoRJ4I/AAAAAAAABIk/J8BhrJgG2ZE/S220/ragil.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281172724248350228.post-484561473218249642</id><published>2009-01-03T21:16:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-03T21:18:14.446-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='health'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='health and fitness'/><title type='text'>A New Drug to Fight Cholera Epidemics</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;A recent medical study held in Bangladesh investigated the effectiveness of traditional cholera treatments and possible alternatives. The problem of cholera is very complicated in third world countries where the water supplies can be the source of numerous bacteriological diseases. Apart from the aspect of water supplies another problem, which contributes to the development of cholera epidemics in poor countries, is that traditional medication gradually loses its effectiveness with bacteria developing resistance to it. In such situation finding a new drug for treating cholera is crucial.  Having these goals the study compared Cipro (ciprofloxacin), which is commonly used in cases of severe cholera for over a decade, and a macrolide antibiotic. The study involved 195 men suffering from severe cholera, divided into two groups. The first group was given Cipro and the second - macrolides respectively. The results where impressive and gave base to an intense discussion about the effectiveness of medicine used for cholera treatment today as well as the possibility of using macrolide antibiotics in such cases.  Cipro, which only a few years back was effective in a single dose against cholera, failed in &amp;frac34; of the patients in the study. This can be explained by the fact that Vibrio cholerae - the bacteria causing cholera - was able to rapidly develop tolerance reaction to Cipro, rendering it ineffective with time. In contrast, macrolide antibiotic treatment has shown significant results with 73% of the patients being cured with a single dose. Furthermore, the group treated with macrolides has had illness symptoms manifested only for 30 hours after taking the medicine in comparison to more than three days in case of Cipro. Although, the studies were held on men only, there's no reason to believe the results would be different in case of women.  The results of this study have displayed the importance of developing new drugs which would be as effective as Cipro was a decade ago. Macrolide antibiotics used in the study seem like a great alternative to the traditional medication. There are numerous generic variations to this class of drugs, like &lt;a href="http://www.zithromaxpills.com/"&gt;Zithromax&lt;/a&gt;, which are available all over the world. But still, the doctors argue that a single drug will not solve the problem of cholera, because it is primarily caused by poor sanitation and water supplies. The bacteria may develop resistance to &lt;a href="http://www.zithromaxpills.com/zithromax-articles/a-new-drug-to-fight-cholera.html"&gt;Zithromax&lt;/a&gt; with time too, like in case of Cipro, thus it can't be regarded as a constant solution to the problem. The radical changes concerning sanitation and water supplies, which Europe and America have undergone a century ago, should be taken in developing countries too, but that seems like a much more complex solution compared to medications.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3281172724248350228-484561473218249642?l=4general.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://4general.blogspot.com/feeds/484561473218249642/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://4general.blogspot.com/2009/01/new-drug-to-fight-cholera-epidemics.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3281172724248350228/posts/default/484561473218249642'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3281172724248350228/posts/default/484561473218249642'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://4general.blogspot.com/2009/01/new-drug-to-fight-cholera-epidemics.html' title='A New Drug to Fight Cholera Epidemics'/><author><name>therunk</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wr5QYMavnQE/SzLd2RoRJ4I/AAAAAAAABIk/J8BhrJgG2ZE/S220/ragil.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281172724248350228.post-3838380312017028559</id><published>2009-01-03T20:04:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-03T20:06:14.286-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Investment'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='General Tips'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='general'/><title type='text'>4 tips to spot fake high yield investments</title><content type='html'>High yield investments are things that produce a yield of more than 2 percent per month. You can find some good mutual funds that produce 30% or higher in any given year, and they would fit the description of a high yield investment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, mutual funds will never produce these stellar results consistently. Their good performance will cause a flood of money to come knocking on their door, and with a lot more money, it becomes harder to produce big returns.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Online, there are thousands of places that offer high yield investments. As you might expect, the vast majority are scams - simple ponzis set up to look like elaborate operations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;Once you have enough experience with high yield investments, you can usually spot the scams with relative ease, but even the best people still get caught in elaborate scams.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are the things professional investors look for when looking into high yield investments:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fixed returns. If a program guarantees a time-based return (2% per day, for instance), then it is almost certainly a scam. No one has a crystal ball, and in the high yield community, uncertainty is the major force that prevails. So any one skilled at foreign exchange trading or options trading would never predict they would make 2% each and every day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No contact information. The high yield investments that are real will always let you know who is behind it, and what they do. In the normal investment world, there is a prospectus for each offering, which describes what the venture is about, and how they make money. A real high yield investment would always give you the name and resumé for the principal people behind the operation. If you don't get a name, phone number and address, it is a scam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No registration. All high yield investments will create profit, and be subject to taxation by some government somewhere in the world. If the persons offering a high yield investment have not bothered to register the venture, then it is most certainly a scam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No Contract. The high yield investments that promise great things should put things into writing, and have you agree to the terms before they begin to earn you an income. If you find a high yield investment that does not require you to sign a contract, you can be sure they will disappear eventually - along with your money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3281172724248350228-3838380312017028559?l=4general.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://4general.blogspot.com/feeds/3838380312017028559/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://4general.blogspot.com/2009/01/4-tips-to-spot-fake-high-yield.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3281172724248350228/posts/default/3838380312017028559'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3281172724248350228/posts/default/3838380312017028559'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://4general.blogspot.com/2009/01/4-tips-to-spot-fake-high-yield.html' title='4 tips to spot fake high yield investments'/><author><name>therunk</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wr5QYMavnQE/SzLd2RoRJ4I/AAAAAAAABIk/J8BhrJgG2ZE/S220/ragil.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281172724248350228.post-9006972735118645073</id><published>2009-01-03T11:12:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-03T11:12:00.418-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Money'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='General Tips'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='general'/><title type='text'>Wedding ideas to save money</title><content type='html'>Marriage is a joyous, but can get expensive opportunity hurry.

Health insurance costs have been rising so fast that even large sections of the middle class now find it a struggle, if not impossible, to pay the premiums demanded by the insurers for private plans. The fact is that, although in the last one or two years, there have been some increases in average take-home pay, these increases have not kept pace with inflation. People today are more poor than they were ten years ago. For a time, people compensated by using their credit cards and borrowing against the positive housing equity on their homes. With the bursting of the housing bubble and the credit crunch, people must now confront the size of the debt they carry. Articles like this are not supposed to feel sorry for employers. They are the ones who take our work, pay us as little possible and buy big houses to live in. Sometimes, we only put up with this exploitation because of the health plans some offer as part of the compensation package. &lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;But they have also been feeling the strain.  The national statistics show that, in the period 2000-2007, there was an average 80% increase in the premiums payable by employers for the health plan offered to their employees. As a cost, this has increased five times faster than the cost of wages and salaries. Because consumers have come to expect that prices will not rise, it has not been possible to pass these increased costs on in the wholesale and retail prices. The result has been a reduction in the profits earned by the employers. Hence, wages have not risen fast enough to keep pace with inflation.  This has real significance for the future health of the nation. Slightly more than 30% of the workforce is less than 30 years old and the majority of them are not insured. This because more employers have given up the unequal struggle to keep up a health plan for new employees, and more younger people who still have their health do not see it as a priority to use more and more of their take-home pay to fund private &lt;a href="http://www.healthinsurance-guidance.com/"&gt;health insurance&lt;/a&gt;. They feel they are paying against the risk of sickness that might never come. This has an unfortunate knock-on effect. &lt;a href="http://www.healthinsurance-guidance.com/"&gt;Health insurance&lt;/a&gt; distributes the risk so that the fit and health subsidize those who fall sick. If too many of the healthy refuse cover, the cost must be born by the older population more likely to make claims. This forces the premiums to rise. It would be better if everyone had a policy because this spreads the costs and keeps everyone's payments low. You can make a start by using sites like this to find the cheapest possible policy, but nothing will change unless government policy changes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3281172724248350228-2095721692384377381?l=4general.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://4general.blogspot.com/feeds/2095721692384377381/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://4general.blogspot.com/2009/01/health-insurance-from-employers-point.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3281172724248350228/posts/default/2095721692384377381'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3281172724248350228/posts/default/2095721692384377381'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://4general.blogspot.com/2009/01/health-insurance-from-employers-point.html' title='Health insurance from the employer&apos;s point of view'/><author><name>therunk</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wr5QYMavnQE/SzLd2RoRJ4I/AAAAAAAABIk/J8BhrJgG2ZE/S220/ragil.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281172724248350228.post-7952803040597252954</id><published>2009-01-02T11:42:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-02T11:43:41.885-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Games'/><title type='text'>The finer points of online slots</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;There are many kinds of &lt;a href="http://www.onlineslotsgallery.com/"&gt;online slots&lt;/a&gt;. Some may require a certain degree of skill and knowledge, other may be based entirely on chance. There are numerous variations of the both concepts, having different winning combinations, coins required to spin, symbols displayed on the reel and so on.  When playing both &lt;a href="http://www.onlineslotsgallery.com/"&gt;online slots&lt;/a&gt; and land-based slot machines you will probably have small amount wins from time to time. They are used to keep you interested in the game and insert more coins into the machine.  But sometimes you can actually hit a jackpot. Some machines have big jackpots as much as $10000. And if you are playing a progressive or linked slot machine the blackjack will be considerably higher (with hundreds of thousands to win). This is what really makes players chained to the machines and keep spinning the reels as much as they are able too.  Unlike other casino games, online slots are very easy and fun to play. All you have to do is just push the button to sin the reels and see what combination is lined-up in the payline. It's that simple. And thinking that you can actually win some money (and hit a big jackpot some day) makes online slots an irresistible offer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3281172724248350228-7952803040597252954?l=4general.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://4general.blogspot.com/feeds/7952803040597252954/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://4general.blogspot.com/2009/01/finer-points-of-online-slots.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3281172724248350228/posts/default/7952803040597252954'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3281172724248350228/posts/default/7952803040597252954'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://4general.blogspot.com/2009/01/finer-points-of-online-slots.html' title='The finer points of online slots'/><author><name>therunk</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wr5QYMavnQE/SzLd2RoRJ4I/AAAAAAAABIk/J8BhrJgG2ZE/S220/ragil.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281172724248350228.post-8146203783790974887</id><published>2009-01-02T11:40:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-02T11:41:53.152-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Games'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='general'/><title type='text'>Casino Games: About Baccarat</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Baccarat is one of the most interesting &lt;a href="http://www.allgamesinonesite.com/"&gt;casino games&lt;/a&gt; with its specific rules and tactics. Learn more about baccarat from the &lt;a href="http://www.allgamesinonesite.com/"&gt;casino games&lt;/a&gt; article section of our site. When playing baccarat the main object of the game is to assemble two or three cards with a value as close to nine as possible. The best winning combination is with a count of nine with two cards. Eight along with nine makes part of the two "natural" hands and is the second best hand. That means that the only hand to beat the natural eight is natural nine. When a player or the Bank has either of two natural hands, others don't have the right to draw any more cards.  The cards have their face value, while the aces count as one and the picture cards as ten. In case you have a double figure count, the first digit is ignored, For example, if you have a total card value of 17, the count is seven.  The player who has the largest amount of money is usually declared as the banker. In Baccarat Banque and rotates in Chemin de Fer this is the casino. Three hands of two cards each are dealt by the banker face down. Two hands are for the players, one to the right and one the left of the banker, and one is own hand. Other players who didn't receive a hand mau place their bets on either hand (cheval) or both to beat the banker. A player can declare "banco", which means he's betting the total value of the bank. In this case all other bets are withdrawn.  In case a player has a count less than eight or nine he may get one more card or stand. The rule is that having six or seven the player must stand and draw on four or less.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3281172724248350228-8146203783790974887?l=4general.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://4general.blogspot.com/feeds/8146203783790974887/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://4general.blogspot.com/2009/01/casino-games-about-baccarat.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3281172724248350228/posts/default/8146203783790974887'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3281172724248350228/posts/default/8146203783790974887'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://4general.blogspot.com/2009/01/casino-games-about-baccarat.html' title='Casino Games: About Baccarat'/><author><name>therunk</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wr5QYMavnQE/SzLd2RoRJ4I/AAAAAAAABIk/J8BhrJgG2ZE/S220/ragil.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281172724248350228.post-6121924667761816611</id><published>2009-01-01T11:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-01T11:12:31.445-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fitness'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='General Tips'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='health'/><title type='text'>Sports Reflexology</title><content type='html'>When you talk about sports fitness, what comes first in your mind?

It can bring many benefits such as delivering an increased amount of new visitors and providing a steady income. Google, Yahoo and MSN contribute heavily to its algorithm. Many webmasters are attracted by the fact that they can get traffic from such directories and would pay a small fee or put a reciprocal link to get their website listed in these directories. These benefits will ultimately improve the promotion of the website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Webmasters are also very interested with inbound links for improving their PR (Page Rank) with Google. A good PR gives better position in Google’s search engine results. In theory the more quality inbound links you get, the higher your PR will go. Directories give a good solution for all webmasters. They also prove to be a good addition to existing web sites. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We can differentiate 3 types of directories: free, reciprocal-link and Pay for Inclusion directories:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Free directories are by far the most interesting for webmasters as they can give a high PR without having to spend a penny. However you’ll have to spend some time submitting your website to all of these. They don’t usually give you much traffic either as there is an over abundance of them on the internet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Reciprocal-Link directories require placing a small link into the webmaster’s website. This can be dangerous if the directory has been black listed by Google.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Finally, Paid For Inclusion directories can deliver very good results as they usually give better PR and have more traffic than free directories.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, not all directories will give you good results. Many use a redirect function for linking to your website. Your website won’t benefit from such links. You’ll need a static outgoing link from directories to gain weight with search engines. Many of the directories do offer you deep-linking options which mean that they will allow you to submit more than one URL from your domain in order to get your internal pages more traffic and ranking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So keep in mind that directories are wholly beneficial for your websites as long as you take the time to carefully plan the submission beforehand by checking if they are not using tricks (redirects, reciprocal). Also, don’t forget to submit your website to the most relevant category on the directory and to read its description! &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3281172724248350228-5779069046322982710?l=4general.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://4general.blogspot.com/feeds/5779069046322982710/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://4general.blogspot.com/2008/12/web-directories-general-introduction.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3281172724248350228/posts/default/5779069046322982710'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3281172724248350228/posts/default/5779069046322982710'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://4general.blogspot.com/2008/12/web-directories-general-introduction.html' title='Web Directories - General Introduction'/><author><name>therunk</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wr5QYMavnQE/SzLd2RoRJ4I/AAAAAAAABIk/J8BhrJgG2ZE/S220/ragil.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281172724248350228.post-5679199553890857542</id><published>2008-12-05T01:22:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-05T01:22:00.439-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='General Tips'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='general'/><title type='text'>General Tips For Tourists In Germany</title><content type='html'>Germany has emerged as one of the premier countries in which to vacation in Europe in recent years. Germany has a uniquely diverse landscape for a European, containing mountainous regions contrasted with sandy beaches and large, natural untouched forests. Germany’s beautiful landscape and it’s abundance of amazing destinations add to its appeal. The Germans, themselves, are very hospitable and welcoming to visitors to their country, showing that they are proud of their land and the progress they have made in becoming a world player in economics, culture, and tourism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For some visitors, Germany may be their first exposure to Europe and its small, but apparent differences in their culture. Here are some tips for traveling to and staying in Germany: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Germany has adopted the Euro for its currency for the ease of trade across its borders. Virtually every financial institution around the world will be able to accommodate currency exchanges, current exchange rates, and will be able to determine if your credit cards and debit cards will be accepted in most places. Credit cards are typically not accepted quite as much as in other countries, particularly the U.S. so planning ahead is a good idea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• One of the first things travelers will notice when settling into a hotel room in Germany is the different style of electrical outlet. Compared to, say American 110 Volts, Germans much higher 220 Volt outlets put out much more power. There are adapters available, but you would be much better served by bringing along a voltage regulator with an interchangeable adaptor. The extra voltage being sent to your electrical device without regulation can cause major malfunctions. This is particularly true of relatively fragile electronics such as laptops.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Speaking of laptops, if you like to stay connected then you will likely want to know how to get online while on vacation in Germany. Many Americans have become accustomed to paying a flat rate for unlimited use of access to the internet, but German ISPs typically charge a per minute rate. Though many hotels do offer Wi-Fi service, they too are typically billed at a daily or weekly rate. Wi-Fi would definitely be the way to go when accessing the web since an adaptor will be needed to plug in. Additionally, it is a good idea to specifically ask about rates and availability at your hotel’s front desk before plugging in – many German hotels’ long distance rates pack a punch!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• If your cell phone provider uses GSM technology, then your phone may work in Germany. If not, then you are probably out of luck. Verizon, Cingular, and T-Mobile have all moved towards GSM technology in recent years in an attempt to satisfy trans-Atlantic needs. Check with your carrier on availability.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• If you are from a major metropolitan area in the U.S. or other country, then you may be familiar with a problem many Germans also face – parking. If you rent a car in Germany, then parking will likely become an issue when visiting the larger cities such as Berlin, Munich, and Hamburg. There are also frequent tolls, narrow streets, one way streets, and no shortage of pedestrians to look out for. Germany’s public transportation system is one of the best in the world and will usually be cheaper than renting a car, so you may want to use the trains whenever possible to avoid some potential stress. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;source: artclecity.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3281172724248350228-5679199553890857542?l=4general.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://4general.blogspot.com/feeds/5679199553890857542/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://4general.blogspot.com/2008/12/general-tips-for-tourists-in-germany.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3281172724248350228/posts/default/5679199553890857542'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3281172724248350228/posts/default/5679199553890857542'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://4general.blogspot.com/2008/12/general-tips-for-tourists-in-germany.html' title='General Tips For Tourists In Germany'/><author><name>therunk</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wr5QYMavnQE/SzLd2RoRJ4I/AAAAAAAABIk/J8BhrJgG2ZE/S220/ragil.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281172724248350228.post-2837753290785861338</id><published>2008-12-04T01:15:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-04T01:19:54.099-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='general'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Home Improvemen'/><title type='text'>General Remodeling Tips</title><content type='html'>Whether staining a deck themselves or hiring a contractor for an addition to your home, there are basic guidelines you should follow to organize your project. Here are some tips for planning ahead that may help you avoid a lot of trouble on the way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think ahead and determine what needs to be done. The more you attention to detail, the better your plan will develop. Consult with others who have a similar project and their advice to heart. Speak with subcontractors to help you determine the scope and sequence of your project. Visit Home Depot or Lowes and chat with their top sales people for more tips on the job at hand. Suppose, for example, that you register as a substitute for a bathroom counter top. Here is an example of how you would make the work with the help of an organized plan:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Measure the existing counter top and make sure the dimensions from the middle of the valley on all four sides of the counter. Water taps are four inches or eight inches apart?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Decide on whether to use the existing sink or a new one. How about the faucets?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Decide on an over counter or under counter sink.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Decide on a counter top material such as Corian, granite, or formica.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Decide on the color.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Determine all costs and a budget and then add 20% to be sure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Decide if you can do the installation alone or should you hire a counter man?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Place an order for all materials.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Turn off the water and disconnect hot and cold water pipes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Remove the existing counter and replace it with the new one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Install the faucets and sink.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Reconnect hot and cold pipes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keep a notebook and carry it around so you can jot down ideas. Remember, achievers write things down. If you do decide to use a contractor, write down any concerns or questions you have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Put changes in writing. If you are a do-it-yourselfer, this will help you stay on track. If you are using a contractor, you should modify the original plan and have it signed by both parties. Don’t forget to include the new cost estimate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The key is in staying organized. An effective plan requires a list of tasks, tools, and supplies. It also requires a detailed sequence of step by step procedures and a realistic budget that will allow for some contingencies. Careful planning will eliminate too many trips to the hardware store, multiple phone calls to subcontractors or an extra visit to Home Depot to speak with a salesperson that may or may not be able to get you out of trouble. Planning ahead does take some effort, but it will help you save time, save money, and eliminate a lot of unnecessary frustrations. Most of all, it will give you great results and a sense of accomplishment which no amount of money can buy. &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3281172724248350228-2837753290785861338?l=4general.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://4general.blogspot.com/feeds/2837753290785861338/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://4general.blogspot.com/2008/12/general-remodeling-tips.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3281172724248350228/posts/default/2837753290785861338'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3281172724248350228/posts/default/2837753290785861338'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://4general.blogspot.com/2008/12/general-remodeling-tips.html' title='General Remodeling Tips'/><author><name>therunk</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wr5QYMavnQE/SzLd2RoRJ4I/AAAAAAAABIk/J8BhrJgG2ZE/S220/ragil.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281172724248350228.post-4469907792194684448</id><published>2008-11-28T21:53:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-28T22:34:04.172-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='health'/><title type='text'>Food and Dental</title><content type='html'>Some people claim that some foods and certain substances dangerous to health and dental mouth, and if there are foods that we can not eat because it will cause problems on our teeth?

Are we ahrus chocolate because you want to keep our teeth healthy? as if this could be all the food I can eat&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actually there is no food that needs to promising to get dental and oral health.

A concept or idea is usually not considered as a design before realized or expressed in visual form. However, the most important tool and most needed in the design is rational. A critical mind, observasional, Quantitative, analytical and also needed to design and realize these ideas. A critical mind, observasional, quantitative and analytical mengkomposisi also necessary for a design.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the pendesain only sketches, script or instructions (which may be provided by the creative director), and so can not be called as a designer. Eyes and hands often assisted with the use of traditional tools or features edit digital images. The selection method to reveal the ideas of appropriate skills is also a key works in graphic design, and is a determinant factor in the visual manifestation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3281172724248350228-9018563898471981680?l=4general.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://4general.blogspot.com/feeds/9018563898471981680/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://4general.blogspot.com/2008/11/graphic-design.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3281172724248350228/posts/default/9018563898471981680'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3281172724248350228/posts/default/9018563898471981680'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://4general.blogspot.com/2008/11/graphic-design.html' title='Graphic design'/><author><name>therunk</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wr5QYMavnQE/SzLd2RoRJ4I/AAAAAAAABIk/J8BhrJgG2ZE/S220/ragil.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281172724248350228.post-6286543683106555881</id><published>2008-11-28T21:32:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-28T21:35:51.584-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='acting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='funny'/><title type='text'>You’re acting Funny</title><content type='html'>Every since civilization started many people have been suffering from psychological disorders such as sadness and strange and awkward behavior.  There have been many of scientists that have tried to figure out the cure for them and treat these disorders.  Classifying psychological disorders have their roots back far in ancient times with the Romans and the Egyptians.  Even today, classifying psychological disorders follow a medical type model.  However, classifying psychological disorders is not very easy and is harder than it sounds and is very controversial.  Even though the classification system has disadvantages, I think it’s safe to say that the classification system outweighs the disadvantages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;.  It provides a means of effective communication between psychologists.  Also, the classification system can help psychologists make predictions such as the probability that a disorder will occur and about the individuals that are more likely to develop a certain mental disorder and about the rules for treatment.  To help make classifying psychological disorders easier the American Psychiatric Association came out with the first system of grouping psychological disorders in the United States in 1952. This manual was known as the DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders).  The 1994 edition is the most current version that I’m aware of and includes 17 major classifications and describes more than 200 disorders.  The DSM had undergone changes and probably will go more in the future which shows the advancement in knowledge of psychological disorders over the years. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The DSM-IV has added and dropped categories from its manual which has caused some major controversial by psychologist you relied heavily on those techniques. An important feature of the DSM-IV is its multi axis features. It has five axes to accurately diagnose an individual with a mental disorder by characterizing them in terms of a number of factors.  The five axes of DSM-IV include:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Axis I:  Every diagnostic category except for personality disorders and mental retardation.&lt;br /&gt;Axis II:  Mental retardation and personality disorders.&lt;br /&gt;Axis III:  Most medical conditions&lt;br /&gt;Axis IV:  Social and environmental complications. &lt;br /&gt;Axis V: Current functioning abilities. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Axes I-II describes the majority of psychological disorders, and Axes III-V is not really needed in diagnosing a psychological disorder but they are there to consider the person’s over all life situation.  For example, an individual may have high blood pressure which is an example of Axis III, which needs special precautions to treatment because some mediation can worsen the symptoms for individuals. The DSM-IV was put together by a number of mental health professionals and included a diverse range of audiences which was something missing in the previous manuals because the majority consisted of mostly white male psychiatrists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The biggest controversial part about the DSM-IV is that the symptoms are still described in a psychiatric manner. Even though more psychologists have participated in it then ever, it still shows a medical model of diagnosing patients which puts less emphasis on external factors such as environmental effects on mental disorders.  There are some common issues with labeling in the DSM-IV.  Some of the categories for mental disorders are what some people would include to be everyday harmless activities. For example, if someone has a hard time learning mathematics, or writing skills than that could be labeled as a mental disorder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;. Also, an addiction to some substances like a nice cappuccino from Starbucks would be classified as a mental disorder because the individual will be viewed as having a substance abuse problem.  Furthermore some individuals that do not have a mental disorder may turn out to believe that they do by a simple misdiagnoses.  The term that refers to when people believe that they believe something when it is told to them is known as the self fulfilling prophecy.  Labels can also have harmful side effects on the individual and cause them to lose self esteem when they think that they are mentally ill. A lot of time, individuals will avoid seeking help to avoid these labels because they don’t want people to think of them differently.  The DSM-IV may have its critiques and inaccuracies but it’s still the most comprehensive mental categorizing system currently available. Like mentioned earlier, there are many categories for mental disorders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A very common one that affects close to 19.1 million Americans is anxiety disorders. If you constantly worry than that could be an indicator that you have some type of anxiety disorder. An anxiety disorder is a psychological disorder that can cause a variety of abnormalities in the motor function. Examples of anxiety disorder include generalized anxiety disorder, phobic disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, panic disorder, post-traumatic disorder, and social anxiety disorder. I’m going to discuss generalized anxiety disorder first because its one of the more common anxiety disorders.  Take this case study for example.  Amy is a thirty year old woman and ever since she and her husband have been arguing she has developed a lot of built up tension and nervousness everytime she goes out in public. She feels trembling and usually be perspiring when she comes back from shopping.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;.  These are the common symptoms of an anxiety disorder.  With phobic disorders on the other hand, the individual has an intense fear of a particular object or thing.  A lot of people are informed about some common ones such as the fear of spiders or Arachnophobia, and the fear of closed tight spaces or Claustrophobia. However there are a lot more bizarre ones that people may not be informed about such as Dikephobia or the fear of justice and Geliophobia or the fear of laughter.  A very interesting psychological disorder is obsessive compulsive disorder and the individual has these obsessions to do things in a particular way or order and it is causing them mental distress. For example, they may have a need to get dressed and take their clothes off in a particular manner and if they mess up than they must start over again because they ruined the sequence. These rituals will consume up a vast majority of the individual’s time. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Panic disorder is when the individual has periods of deep fear. This usually doesn’t last too long and some symptoms are the individual will tremble and experience a shortness of breath. Next, post traumatic disorder is the feelings of emptiness and depression an individual will experience after a traumatic event such as after a plane crash or abuse/rape. Even though men and women can experience this disorder is more likely to exist with females. Last, a social anxiety disorder is a fear of being in social situations and being evaluated by others. A classic example is being extremely uneasy and nervous during a job interview. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3281172724248350228-6286543683106555881?l=4general.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://4general.blogspot.com/feeds/6286543683106555881/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://4general.blogspot.com/2008/11/youre-acting-funny.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3281172724248350228/posts/default/6286543683106555881'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3281172724248350228/posts/default/6286543683106555881'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://4general.blogspot.com/2008/11/youre-acting-funny.html' title='You’re acting Funny'/><author><name>therunk</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wr5QYMavnQE/SzLd2RoRJ4I/AAAAAAAABIk/J8BhrJgG2ZE/S220/ragil.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281172724248350228.post-7862528034538647527</id><published>2008-11-28T20:03:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-28T20:16:13.028-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='no labels'/><title type='text'>Privacy Policy for http://4general.blogspot.com/</title><content type='html'>If you require any more information or have any questions about our privacy policy, please feel free to contact us by email at satriaflamboyan@gmail.com.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At http://4general.blogspot.com/, the privacy of our visitors is of extreme importance to us.
