Though hiring a vending machine placement service is a good idea, there are also a lot of things to avoid when dealing with them.
First off in my list is to avoid dealing with vending machine placement services that contract their work out to so-called locators in various states. There is a big chance that the vending machine placement service you will hire is not at all familiar with the expertise and capabilities of their contractors. They might say that their contractors are experts, but how can you be sure? There is no way for you to validate their claims. Some vending locators are notorious for locating terrible locations. One way for you to avoid terrible locations is to stop yourself from dealing with these contractors.
Vending machine placement services that request full payment upfront is second on my list. Apparently, you should avoid dealing with vending machine placement services like this for security reasons. Most of the time, vending locator companies only ask for a deposit payment and not a full one. A vending machine placement service that ask for a full one has clearly some ulterior motives of running away with your money. Before paying any upfront money, seek and consult an attorney to ensure the feasible and efficacy of the business proposition. If you are really required to pay a deposit, the attorney can review the contract and suggest something that can be fair for both you and vending placement service. If the vending machine placement service won't agree to a suggestion that is fair both parties, then I am sure you already know what to do.
Third is, avoid, as much as possible, a vending machine placement service that is new to the locating business. Of course not all new vending locator companies are fraudulent, but common sense will dictate that since they are new to the locating business, they are not yet that familiar with the ins and outs of getting a good location compared to those companies who have been in the business for years. I do not intend to discriminate, in fact, I certainly agree that they should be given a chance to prove their companies' worth. But for customers, deal with them at your own risk.
Avoiding vending machine placement services that mostly communicate by fax or email comes fourth. Think of this, an honest vending machine placement service will not hide anything from you, but a dishonest one will take every measure to just communicate discreetly. It is all about customer service and how they treat their customers. If they treat you badly that they do not return your calls and only respond via email or fax then something must be wrong. And if at the start the vending locator company cannot give an excellent customer service, then forget about them, chances are they are just after your money.
Lastly, avoid vending machine placement services that make promises such as "I can guarantee you to make so much money from each location." Do not fall for what they are saying. They only say those words because they want to make a sale from you. If a vending machine placement company makes earning claims, make sure that they can provide a written substantiation to back up their claim.
Avoiding these things will not only keep you safe, but will also bring you to the road of vending success.

Bodyboarding and Boogie Boarding Basics
Copyright (c) 2008 Barry Crowther
In its most basic form, a boogie board is a shaped piece of rigid foam that's specifically designed for wave surfing. They've been around for over 30 years and provide an inexpensive, fun and safe outdoor activity for riders of all ages, sizes and skill levels. Far less expensive than surfing, boogie boards are also easier to learn to ride, and just about anyone can get the hang of one over the course of an afternoon at the beach. Even the most elaborate and expensive equipment and accessory getups usually cost no more than a couple hundred dollars.
Boogie Boarding Basics
Each boogie board should come with a tether, an accessory which attaches it to the rider's body via a wrist strap. Experienced boogie boarders also recommend the use of flippers or fins on the feet, which makes it much easier to catch the crest of a wave and ride. There are several safety tips that riders new to the world of boogie boarding should be careful to follow. First, never ride alone. Always go to the beach with a friend, and stay together. One person should stay on the shore while the other rides. It's also better to stay relatively close to the shore, at least initially, and make sure there's a lifeguard station within view. Also, avoid waves that don't break until they reach the shore, as they'll only guide your body straight down. More than one novice has ended up with a mouthful of wet sand this way.
Jay Reale is from Ocean City, Maryland and is the first-ever pro bodyboarder from the east coast. He was born in 1964, and learned to ride waves on inflateable rafts in his early teen years, switching to a bodyboard when his brother Mitch loaned his to Jay one day. He hasn't looked back since. Jay began bodyboarding full-time in 1980 at the age of 16, and entered the local contest scene right away in between working at mom and dad's bakery and playing drums and singing in a rock band. He won the fourth event he ever entered, and dominated amateur bodyboarding on the east coast until moving to California in 1987. During that time, he amassed 4 ESA Championship titles, 1 Mid-Atlantic Regional Title, was an ESA All-Star, and winner of the ESA's Marsh Scholarship which he used to get his bachelor's degree in Earth Science/Secondary Education in 1986. Jay was U.S. Amateur Champ in 1986, and took out the Morey Nationals in 1984 and 1986. Jay is recognized as the first-ever "champion" in the sport of bodyboarding by virtue of winning the first series of events that accumulated points toward crowning a champion when he won the 1982 Eastern Surfing Championships Bodyboarding division. His career has been long and illustrious nabbing 15 magazine cover shots worldwide, countless posters, profiles, and other articles and photos.

Ten Things All Pet Owners Should Know
Ten Things All Pet Owners Should KnowBy Steph BaireyFollowing these ten tips will guarantee you a happy, healthyrelationship with any kind of pet.1. Your pet needs to go to the vet. Start saving now.Every pet needs to be examined by a vet occasionally. Illnesses thatare caught early are often treatable, and regular vet exams are yourbest weapon. Even the healthiest pet may have an accident, callingfor immediate emergency care. Older pets may be in pain from age-related deterioration. Face it, you're going to have to take your petto the vet sooner or later. Be prepared to pay for it!2. You're the human, you set the rules.Don't let your pet boss you around. Decide on the rules, and enforcethem consistently. Don't let your pet get his way if it goes againstthe rules -- he'll just try that much harder the next time. Animalsmay not seem to have long memories, but they sure remember how theygot their own way the last time!3. Animals love a boring routine.Pets want to know what to expect -- it makes them feel secure. Yourswill be happiest if they are fed at the same time every day, sleep inthe same spot at night, and can count on you to always come home at acertain time. They'll get by if the routine occasionally changes, butkeeping their day predictable keeps them predictable, and happy.4. Good food and lots of exercise equals a long life.We all know we should eat healthy foods in moderation and get plentyof exercise. The same goes for our pets. Healthy living preventsillness, and you won't have to see the vet as often! If a small petis confined to a cage, give it lots of space and things to climb onor explore, to encourage exercise. Reserve treats like dog biscuitsor table scraps for very special occasions.5. Everything ends up in their mouths.To you it's an electrical cord, but to your dog, it's a chew toy.Keep in mind that your pets will chew on anything, and keep dangerousitems out of reach! Encourage them to chew on toys instead byproviding lots of them, especially new ones once the old ones havelost their appeal.6. Bacteria do not make good pets.A clean environment keeps everyone happy and healthy. Pets are dirty,and need lots of cleaning. On a weekly basis, brush your dog's teeth,wash out the gerbil's water bottle, and scoop out the cat's litterbox! If you don't, you're in for bacterial and parasitic infections,painful tooth decay, and the smell...!7. Tight security saves lives.Keep your pet confined safely. Escape-proof all cages and fences,walk your dog on a leash, and keep your cat indoors. The outsideworld is full of speeding cars, unfamiliar animals, pesticides, andeven pet thieves. Just in case, make certain all dogs and cats havesturdy collars with tags, or have been tattooed or micro-chipped.8. There are too many homeless animals already.Lost pets without tags usually end up being put to sleep at theshelter when they lose their way home. Even worse off are the petswho never had homes to begin with. There aren't enough good homes forall the animals out there, so have your pets spayed or neutered, anddo not allow them to breed! In America alone, four million cats anddogs are put down every year. That's far too many! If you wantanother pet, consider adoption instead.9. When in doubt, look to nature.When confronted with a pet problem, find out how your pet would havelived in the wild. Need to know how warm your frog's tank should be?Research his natural habitat and try to copy it. Want to keep yourdogs from fighting? Read up on pack behavior in the wild. Our petsevolved to live in the wild, and by understanding their naturalenvironment, needs, and social behavior, we can help them live withus more comfortably.10. It all depends on you.Ultimately, when you accepted this animal as a pet, you agreed totake care of him. This means feeding, habitat, health, safety... youare responsible for it all. It takes a lot of time and money to carefor a pet properly. However, it is certainly worth it! There are over100 million households worldwide with at least one pet, and theycan't all be wrong! Take care of your pets, so you can have a long,enjoyable life together.Copyright 2001, Steph Bairey -- All Rights ReservedSteph Bairey is a web developer and pet owner, with 25 years of petcare experience and 30-40 pets at any one time.

Meaning out of "x" number of sales, only 18.18% end up in refund requests. That's a very good success rate compared to similar products today.
Although the Premium TV for PC offers a scam-free and risk-free environment, users should always install anti-virus and spyware/adware software. These merchants have a habit of stating their products are spyware/adware-free, but common sense says added protection only provides a safer and more secured environment.
When compared to other top-of-the-line products, the Premium TV player brings a fast, reliable, and user-friendly interface. Although it doesn't offer anything special in particular when compared to its peers, it does however bring something important to the table... it has a high success rate among users! Users will experience the best of free Internet TV Worldwide in virtually any language. And they will receive access to entertaining premium, on-demand, and HDTV channels to watch TV shows, sports, movies, adult, and much more. But more importantly, installing the Premium TV for PC gives users more TV savings, freedom, flexibility and mobility when compared to home Satellite and Cable TV.
Users get a quick sense of feel when using the Premium TV for PC, which makes it very appealing. You use a point and click method to select channels quickly which loads and plays them within 20 seconds. To get this high performance requires a broadband connection such as a DSL or High Speed connection at 512kbps or more. Increasing the connection speed increases the audio, video, and overall quality.
The Premium TV player provides safe and legal access to clips, texts, audio and video media files from the Public Domain and World Wide Web. Consequently, this streaming technology helps the TV player to reduce time as it accesses and retrieves the user's selected channel or media file into smaller pieces while bringing it right across the PC's I.P. (Internet Provider) address right to the computer screen or TV player. All Internet TV channels come from licensed Internet media owners which makes watching Internet TV a safe and legal environment.

Sometimes it requires some tweaking when a software-to-compatibility problem occurs, which many believe represents a scam. To make this clearer, no one computer will be the same as another once used, even if they have the same make and model. Therefore, other software installed on a computer could block the Premium TV player from working. And it usually relates to a computer's firewall (anti-virus software) causing the issue, which tech support can help correct.
The other bad news... at times certain channels will experience down times for short periods of time which many people don't know the meaning of it, and have used the scam word as well. The fault really relates to some of the licensed Internet media owners, who don't offer their free channel 24/7 in different time zones.
The Premium TV for PC software has an appealing way about it when offering more channels at a lesser price than the top rated Satellite TV for PC Elite Edition for less channels. This makes the software quite appealing to wide variety TV and entertainment enthusiasts across the globe.

Sometimes it requires some tweaking when a software-to-compatibility problem occurs, which many believe represents a scam. To make this clearer, no one computer will be the same as another once used, even if they have the same make and model. Therefore, other software installed on a computer could block the Premium TV player from working. And it usually relates to a computer's firewall (anti-virus software) causing the issue, which tech support can help correct.
The other bad news... at times certain channels will experience down times for short periods of time which many people don't know the meaning of it, and have used the scam word as well. The fault really relates to some of the licensed Internet media owners, who don't offer their free channel 24/7 in different time zones.
The Premium TV for PC software has an appealing way about it when offering more channels at a lesser price than the top rated Satellite TV for PC Elite Edition for less channels. This makes the software quite appealing to wide variety TV and entertainment enthusiasts across the globe.

These enhancements will enable users to store and retrieve their favorite channels while recording and watching them across their entire computer screen. When downloading, installing and using the TV player the merchant makes the entire process childs play.

What is mixed martial arts
Mixed martial arts, better known as MMA, is a form of sports that involves the use of a mixture of martial art combat techniques to win over the opponent. MMA has become very popular in recent years and MMA championships like Ultimate fighting championship have become very widely known.
MMA began with pitting one martial art technique with another under minimal rules, so that the martial art which would be the most effective in day to day life could be found out. Modern mixed martial competitions have evolved from such events, but rules are much stricter due to which, the sport has been promoted into acceptance. However, there is no centralized sanctioning authority for mixed martial arts and the rules vary from place to place or organization to organization.
Striking and grappling are the common techniques used in MMA. Striking techniques involve kicks, knees and punches while grappling techniques involve the use of holds, sweeps and throws. Techniques like eye-gouging, biting and fish hooking are considered illegal in most MMA competitions. Other techniques like head butts, spinal locks and elbows may or may not be considered legal in different MMA organizations.
In MMA competitions, victory is based on the judge's decision, submission or knockout. A competitor's corner man can also deicide the outcome of the match and so can the match doctor if the competitor is injured to an extent that he/she can no longer fight properly.
Competitors participating in MMA have to train themselves in a variety of fighting styles so that they can effectively overcome their opponents. MMA training usually involves stand up, clinch and ground combat. To make the stand up combat effective, boxing and kickboxing are taught. These improve kicking, punching, kneeing and most important of all-footwork. Freestyle wrestling is taught to improve clinching. Additionally, competitors are trained in Muay Thai to improve the striking power during a clinch. Training in Brazilian Jujitsu and Sambo improves ground combat by improving the competitor's positioning. Further, shoot wrestling, catch wrestling and judo are taught to enhance the competitor's ground combat abilities.
Success in modern martial arts lies in adapting many styles. These styles have to be altered accordingly. Today, MMA competitors do not train in a particular style but train all the styles together. Flexibility plays a very important role in succeeding in MMA competitions. MMA is physically a very demanding sport and being competent is the only key to success.

The Traumatic Brain Injury Treatment Team: The Neuropsychologist
Copyright (c) 2008 David Bressman
You, or a loved one, have sustained a brain injury, you are told you will need to treat with a neuropsychologist in order to get better. A good question: what is neuropsychology? Neuropsychology comes from the Greek words "neuron" [meaning "nerve"] "psyche" [meaning "mind"] and "logos" [meaning "the study of"]. Put together, you have "the study of mind and nerves."
Neuropsychology is concerned with the study of the relationship between the central nervous system (brain and spine) and behavior. Neuropsychology also involves studying ways to measure recovery from brain damage as well as strategies that can be used to rehabilitate (make better) people with such disorders and to improve their care.
Neuropsychologists have extensive training in the anatomy, physiology, and pathology of the nervous system. They use a variety of psychological tests and assessment techniques to diagnose specific disorders of the brain. These disorders often result in problems with thinking, emotions, and/or behavior. Neuropsychologists study ways to measure recovery from brain damage as well as strategies to rehabilitate (make better) people with brain damage and improve their care.
Neuropsychologists can provide psychotherapy (a psychological treatment through talking) to patients with brain damage and try to understand ways in which a patient's environment (for example, family) improve or worsen a brain damaged patient's overall condition. Although neuropsychologists also study the functioning of the spine, most neuropsychologists focus on the functioning of the brain.
Neuropsychologists also teach courses in colleges and universities about neuropsychology, intelligence testing, personality testing, and/or other topics. Many neuropsychologists conduct research to better understand the functioning of the brain. They usually do this by studying brain damaged patients and comparing them to patients who have not suffered brain damage.
In a legal setting, a neuropsychologist may testify that a patient's performance on a series of tests shows that he/she suffered a brain injury that resulted in significant deficits in thinking abilities after being involved in a trauma such as being hit by a car.
QUESTIONS/TOPICS YOU SHOULD CONSIDER WHEN INTERVIEWING A NEUROPSYCHOLOGIST?
The following list of questions or concerns you should have/ask when choosing a neuropsychologist is meant to be a jumping off point and no specific question or issue should, of itself, disqualify any neuropsychologist you are considering. These are meant to enable you to begin a discussion with the neuropsychologist to explore whether or not the doctor is the best fit for you.
1. Does the neuropsychologist should have a doctoral degree in clinical psychology from an accredited university or college?
2. You want the best trained doctor, right? Ask if the neuropsychologist completed coursework in other neurosciences such as neuroanatomy (the study of the structure of the brain and spinal cord) and neuropathology (the study of disorders of the brain and spinal cord). The more breadth to the doctor's background, the better your chance of recovery?
3. Did the neuropsychologist attend a graduate school program that complies with the guidelines for neuropsychological training set forth by Division 40 (Neuropsychology) of the American Psychological Association? For further information, go to http://www.div40.org/
4. Did the neuropsychologist do an internship (supervised training at the end of graduate school) at a program that meets the guidelines set forth by Division 40 of the American Psychological Association and the International Neuropsychological Society.
5. Board certification is an indication that the neuropsychologist has been recognized by his peers as being extremely qualified and proficient. Not everyone is board-qualified. Make sure to ask about this? One who is board certified has been agreed upon by a board (group) of peers (other neuropsychologists) to meet the rigorous standards necessary to practice neuropsychology, and has achieved the highest level of education possible in this field. To assure that you are being served by a neuropsychologist who is competent to practice neuropsychology, it is usually recommended that you see a board-certified neuropsychologist.

They use a variety of psychological tests and assessment techniques to diagnose specific disorders of the brain. These disorders often result in problems with thinking, emotions, and/or behavior. Neuropsychologists study ways to measure recovery from brain damage as well as strategies to rehabilitate (make better) people with brain damage and improve their care.
Neuropsychologists can provide psychotherapy (a psychological treatment through talking) to patients with brain damage and try to understand ways in which a patient's environment (for example, family) improve or worsen a brain damaged patient's overall condition. Although neuropsychologists also study the functioning of the spine, most neuropsychologists focus on the functioning of the brain.
Neuropsychologists also teach courses in colleges and universities about neuropsychology, intelligence testing, personality testing, and/or other topics. Many neuropsychologists conduct research to better understand the functioning of the brain. They usually do this by studying brain damaged patients and comparing them to patients who have not suffered brain damage.
In a legal setting, a neuropsychologist may testify that a patient's performance on a series of tests shows that he/she suffered a brain injury that resulted in significant deficits in thinking abilities after being involved in a trauma such as being hit by a car.
QUESTIONS/TOPICS YOU SHOULD CONSIDER WHEN INTERVIEWING A NEUROPSYCHOLOGIST?
The following list of questions or concerns you should have/ask when choosing a neuropsychologist is meant to be a jumping off point and no specific question or issue should, of itself, disqualify any neuropsychologist you are considering. These are meant to enable you to begin a discussion with the neuropsychologist to explore whether or not the doctor is the best fit for you.
1. Does the neuropsychologist should have a doctoral degree in clinical psychology from an accredited university or college?
2. You want the best trained doctor, right? Ask if the neuropsychologist completed coursework in other neurosciences such as neuroanatomy (the study of the structure of the brain and spinal cord) and neuropathology (the study of disorders of the brain and spinal cord). The more breadth to the doctor's background, the better your chance of recovery?
3. Did the neuropsychologist attend a graduate school program that complies with the guidelines for neuropsychological training set forth by Division 40 (Neuropsychology) of the American Psychological Association? For further information, go to http://www.div40.org/
4. Did the neuropsychologist do an internship (supervised training at the end of graduate school) at a program that meets the guidelines set forth by Division 40 of the American Psychological Association and the International Neuropsychological Society.
5. Board certification is an indication that the neuropsychologist has been recognized by his peers as being extremely qualified and proficient. Not everyone is board-qualified. Make sure to ask about this? One who is board certified has been agreed upon by a board (group) of peers (other neuropsychologists) to meet the rigorous standards necessary to practice neuropsychology, and has achieved the highest level of education possible in this field. To assure that you are being served by a neuropsychologist who is competent to practice neuropsychology, it is usually recommended that you see a board-certified neuropsychologist.

Natural Mood Boosters
Mood can be defined as a state of mind or a feeling. We will all experience low moods, or be down in the dumps from time to time and this is a normal part of the human condition. Our moods are not static; they can be affected by many factors including diet, environmental and biological influences and even our lifestyle. So is there anything we can do to boost our mood and lift our spirits naturally?
Oily fish and fish oil
Arguably the most effective mood boosting foods are oily fish such as salmon, tuna, mackerel, herring, trout and anchovies or purified fish oil supplements made from these fish. Countless studies have now demonstrated the mood enhancing effect of fish oil. So what is it about oily fish that is so special?
Oily fish contains omega 3 fatty acids, including EPA or Eicosapentaenoic acid, which is essential for optimum brain function on a day to day basis and as our bodies cannot produce EPA, we have to source it from the diet. If the brain doesn't get EPA, it will use inferior fatty acids that are not cut out for the job and the result can be depression and physical illness.
These days it isn't advisable to eat too much fish due to the amount of toxins they contain but purified fish oil supplements are an excellent way to get your daily dose of EPA and improve your mood.
St John's Wort
St John's Wort is a herb that has been described by some as nature's answer to Prozac. It is an old folk remedy used to treat anxiety, sleep problems and sadness. Many research studies have highlighted the mood enhancing effect of St John's Wort supplements and it is now considered by many to be an effective remedy for mild depression. However, it shouldn't be taken without first seeking advice from your doctor as St John's Wort can interact with other medicines, both prescription and over the counter, and there are other contraindications to be considered too.
Exercise
One of the most effective and natural ways to boost mood is to increase the amount of physical activity you do as it releases 'feel good' chemicals in the brain and reduces stress. If going to the gym or taking up a sport is not for you, studies have shown that taking a short daily walk in the countryside can increase feelings of well being and lift the spirits.
B Vitamins
Increasing consumption of foods high in B vitamins or taking Vitamin B supplements can help ward off depression and improve your health in general. The body needs a steady supply of B vitamins for mental and physical health as they cannot be stored in the body and are also destroyed by alcohol, tea, coffee and nicotine. The B vitamins can be found in dark leafy green vegetables, beans and peas as well as grains like oats and wheat.
Sunlight
There is no doubt that an adequate dose of sunlight is essential for good mental health as sunlight increases serotonin levels. Indeed in the Northern Hemisphere, where the winter days are short and there is very little sunlight, many people suffer from SAD or Seasonal Affective Disorder. Symptoms include sadness, fatigue and sleep disturbances. Trying to get around 30 minutes outside in the sun each morning can make all the difference to your mood.
Caffeine
Caffeine is a drug that is used all over the world to give us a boost and wake us up, most commonly in the form of coffee or tea, but it is also in many medicines and soft drinks. It is classed as a stimulant so can help us to get going, to feel more alert and generally give us a lift. However, the down side is that too much caffeine is not good for health and can cause shaking, rapid heartbeat and increased feelings of nervousness and anxiety. Just like many other drugs, there are also nasty withdrawal symptoms when coming off caffeine so it should be taken in moderation.
Chocolate
Chocolate contains chemicals that help to improve mood including tryptophan, phenylethylamine and anandamide although the amounts of these chemicals in chocolate are believed to be too small to make any difference. The most likely explanation put forward by researchers for the boost given to us by chocolate is that the chemicals in chocolate help to sustain the levels of mood boosting chemicals in the brain for longer periods of time. However, the down side to eating chocolate is that overindulgence can lead to weight gain and therefore an increased risk of heart disease and other health problems. Again, should be taken in moderation.
A final word on depression
It is always worth remembering that getting enough sleep, eating the right foods, reducing the amount of stress in your life and taking time to relax each day can go a long way to improving mental as well as physical wellbeing. However, if you cannot shift your low moods and you find it difficult to carry out your normal daily routines, then the chances are you need some professional help from your doctor in order to get well again. Don't try to battle depression on your own, with the right help, it is treatable and the sooner it is dealt with the quicker you'll be back to your old self.

Aching Knees At Night - It's Never A Good Time To Have Pain - A Brace Can Help
It's 3:00 a.m., and you're awake.
It's not the pizza you ate, or that scary movie you watched. Instead, its that never ending knee pain at night that has you up. During the day, you may not notice it, but at night, when all is still, the knee ache takes the spotlight, and is keeping you wide awake and searching for solutions.
If this sounds like you, or if you have ever been troubled by knee aches and pains at night, don't despair. Using a knee support can help promote healing. Take a moment here to think about this pain reduction option...
It is probably not the time of day that is causing the pain, but rather what happens during the day to make your knee feel the way it does. If you already have sustained a terrible knee injury then you do not have to do much to make the knee pain flare up.
What if you would have added some extra support to your knee so you would not have been in this situation? It is probably wise to wear a knee support during your daily activities so nothing gets worse, right?
What about after you are done for the day? Think about what goes on....
Knee supports are not only used in conjunction with sports or other physical activities of daily living. The use of a knee brace while you are at rest, and especially at night, may help relieve your knee pain, especially knee aches at night. You see, when you sleep, you do not necessarily stay in one position and you may not be conscious of what position your knee is trying to rest in...
Moreover, you can move around quite a bit while you sleep. Your legs move too. This activity may aggravate your knees in a hurry. Furthermore, at night, it is easy to twist around in such a way as to place your knee in an awkward or unnatural position.
Wearing a knee brace at night can help solve these issues. A knee support can help you keep your knee in its proper alignment. It can also help minimize movement and take stress of the joint. You may think that wearing a knee brace at night would feel bulky and uncomfortable and would consequently interfere with your sleep rather than help you sleep. This is not necessarily the case. Knee braces come in many styles and shapes, some of them soft, flexible and very light weight.
Your knee pain may not just go away if you are taking pain killers. You should think about why this can be happening, and you should seriously consider supporting your knee because what is bad can get worse. Knee supports are great, low cost options that you can use right away that can help you reduce your pain and add meaningful stability.

If you are tired of your knee pain then you should consider a light weight, low profile brace to help add meaningful support. Check us out today at http://www.drbraceco.com to find an affordable knee brace.

The Traumatic Brain Injury Treatment Team: The Neuropsychologist
Copyright (c) 2008 David Bressman
You, or a loved one, have sustained a brain injury, you are told you will need to treat with a neuropsychologist in order to get better. A good question: what is neuropsychology? Neuropsychology comes from the Greek words "neuron" [meaning "nerve"] "psyche" [meaning "mind"] and "logos" [meaning "the study of"]. Put together, you have "the study of mind and nerves."
Neuropsychology is concerned with the study of the relationship between the central nervous system (brain and spine) and behavior. Neuropsychology also involves studying ways to measure recovery from brain damage as well as strategies that can be used to rehabilitate (make better) people with such disorders and to improve their care.
Neuropsychologists have extensive training in the anatomy, physiology, and pathology of the nervous system. They use a variety of psychological tests and assessment techniques to diagnose specific disorders of the brain. These disorders often result in problems with thinking, emotions, and/or behavior. Neuropsychologists study ways to measure recovery from brain damage as well as strategies to rehabilitate (make better) people with brain damage and improve their care.
Neuropsychologists can provide psychotherapy (a psychological treatment through talking) to patients with brain damage and try to understand ways in which a patient's environment (for example, family) improve or worsen a brain damaged patient's overall condition. Although neuropsychologists also study the functioning of the spine, most neuropsychologists focus on the functioning of the brain.

Natural Mood Boosters
Mood can be defined as a state of mind or a feeling. We will all experience low moods, or be down in the dumps from time to time and this is a normal part of the human condition. Our moods are not static; they can be affected by many factors including diet, environmental and biological influences and even our lifestyle. So is there anything we can do to boost our mood and lift our spirits naturally?
Oily fish and fish oil
Arguably the most effective mood boosting foods are oily fish such as salmon, tuna, mackerel, herring, trout and anchovies or purified fish oil supplements made from these fish. Countless studies have now demonstrated the mood enhancing effect of fish oil. So what is it about oily fish that is so special?
Oily fish contains omega 3 fatty acids, including EPA or Eicosapentaenoic acid, which is essential for optimum brain function on a day to day basis and as our bodies cannot produce EPA, we have to source it from the diet. If the brain doesn't get EPA, it will use inferior fatty acids that are not cut out for the job and the result can be depression and physical illness.
These days it isn't advisable to eat too much fish due to the amount of toxins they contain but purified fish oil supplements are an excellent way to get your daily dose of EPA and improve your mood.
St John's Wort
St John's Wort is a herb that has been described by some as nature's answer to Prozac. It is an old folk remedy used to treat anxiety, sleep problems and sadness. Many research studies have highlighted the mood enhancing effect of St John's Wort supplements and it is now considered by many to be an effective remedy for mild depression. However, it shouldn't be taken without first seeking advice from your doctor as St John's Wort can interact with other medicines, both prescription and over the counter, and there are other contraindications to be considered too.
Exercise
One of the most effective and natural ways to boost mood is to increase the amount of physical activity you do as it releases 'feel good' chemicals in the brain and reduces stress. If going to the gym or taking up a sport is not for you, studies have shown that taking a short daily walk in the countryside can increase feelings of well being and lift the spirits.
B Vitamins
Increasing consumption of foods high in B vitamins or taking Vitamin B supplements can help ward off depression and improve your health in general. The body needs a steady supply of B vitamins for mental and physical health as they cannot be stored in the body and are also destroyed by alcohol, tea, coffee and nicotine. The B vitamins can be found in dark leafy green vegetables, beans and peas as well as grains like oats and wheat.
Sunlight
There is no doubt that an adequate dose of sunlight is essential for good mental health as sunlight increases serotonin levels. Indeed in the Northern Hemisphere, where the winter days are short and there is very little sunlight, many people suffer from SAD or Seasonal Affective Disorder. Symptoms include sadness, fatigue and sleep disturbances. Trying to get around 30 minutes outside in the sun each morning can make all the difference to your mood.
Caffeine
Caffeine is a drug that is used all over the world to give us a boost and wake us up, most commonly in the form of coffee or tea, but it is also in many medicines and soft drinks. It is classed as a stimulant so can help us to get going, to feel more alert and generally give us a lift. However, the down side is that too much caffeine is not good for health and can cause shaking, rapid heartbeat and increased feelings of nervousness and anxiety. Just like many other drugs, there are also nasty withdrawal symptoms when coming off caffeine so it should be taken in moderation.
Chocolate
Chocolate contains chemicals that help to improve mood including tryptophan, phenylethylamine and anandamide although the amounts of these chemicals in chocolate are believed to be too small to make any difference. The most likely explanation put forward by researchers for the boost given to us by chocolate is that the chemicals in chocolate help to sustain the levels of mood boosting chemicals in the brain for longer periods of time. However, the down side to eating chocolate is that overindulgence can lead to weight gain and therefore an increased risk of heart disease and other health problems. Again, should be taken in moderation.
A final word on depression
It is always worth remembering that getting enough sleep, eating the right foods, reducing the amount of stress in your life and taking time to relax each day can go a long way to improving mental as well as physical wellbeing. However, if you cannot shift your low moods and you find it difficult to carry out your normal daily routines, then the chances are you need some professional help from your doctor in order to get well again. Don't try to battle depression on your own, with the right help, it is treatable and the sooner it is dealt with the quicker you'll be back to your old self.

Aching Knees At Night - It's Never A Good Time To Have Pain - A Brace Can Help
It's 3:00 a.m., and you're awake.
It's not the pizza you ate, or that scary movie you watched. Instead, its that never ending knee pain at night that has you up. During the day, you may not notice it, but at night, when all is still, the knee ache takes the spotlight, and is keeping you wide awake and searching for solutions.
If this sounds like you, or if you have ever been troubled by knee aches and pains at night, don't despair. Using a knee support can help promote healing. Take a moment here to think about this pain reduction option...
It is probably not the time of day that is causing the pain, but rather what happens during the day to make your knee feel the way it does. If you already have sustained a terrible knee injury then you do not have to do much to make the knee pain flare up.
What if you would have added some extra support to your knee so you would not have been in this situation? It is probably wise to wear a knee support during your daily activities so nothing gets worse, right?
What about after you are done for the day? Think about what goes on....
Knee supports are not only used in conjunction with sports or other physical activities of daily living. The use of a knee brace while you are at rest, and especially at night, may help relieve your knee pain, especially knee aches at night. You see, when you sleep, you do not necessarily stay in one position and you may not be conscious of what position your knee is trying to rest in...
Moreover, you can move around quite a bit while you sleep. Your legs move too. This activity may aggravate your knees in a hurry. Furthermore, at night, it is easy to twist around in such a way as to place your knee in an awkward or unnatural position.
Wearing a knee brace at night can help solve these issues. A knee support can help you keep your knee in its proper alignment. It can also help minimize movement and take stress of the joint. You may think that wearing a knee brace at night would feel bulky and uncomfortable and would consequently interfere with your sleep rather than help you sleep. This is not necessarily the case. Knee braces come in many styles and shapes, some of them soft, flexible and very light weight.
Your knee pain may not just go away if you are taking pain killers. You should think about why this can be happening, and you should seriously consider supporting your knee because what is bad can get worse. Knee supports are great, low cost options that you can use right away that can help you reduce your pain and add meaningful stability.

The Traumatic Brain Injury Treatment Team: The Neuropsychologist
Copyright (c) 2008 David Bressman
You, or a loved one, have sustained a brain injury, you are told you will need to treat with a neuropsychologist in order to get better. A good question: what is neuropsychology? Neuropsychology comes from the Greek words "neuron" [meaning "nerve"] "psyche" [meaning "mind"] and "logos" [meaning "the study of"]. Put together, you have "the study of mind and nerves."
Neuropsychology is concerned with the study of the relationship between the central nervous system (brain and spine) and behavior. Neuropsychology also involves studying ways to measure recovery from brain damage as well as strategies that can be used to rehabilitate (make better) people with such disorders and to improve their care.
Neuropsychologists have extensive training in the anatomy, physiology, and pathology of the nervous system. They use a variety of psychological tests and assessment techniques to diagnose specific disorders of the brain. These disorders often result in problems with thinking, emotions, and/or behavior. Neuropsychologists study ways to measure recovery from brain damage as well as strategies to rehabilitate (make better) people with brain damage and improve their care.
Neuropsychologists can provide psychotherapy (a psychological treatment through talking) to patients with brain damage and try to understand ways in which a patient's environment (for example, family) improve or worsen a brain damaged patient's overall condition. Although neuropsychologists also study the functioning of the spine, most neuropsychologists focus on the functioning of the brain.
Neuropsychologists also teach courses in colleges and universities about neuropsychology, intelligence testing, personality testing, and/or other topics. Many neuropsychologists conduct research to better understand the functioning of the brain. They usually do this by studying brain damaged patients and comparing them to patients who have not suffered brain damage.
In a legal setting, a neuropsychologist may testify that a patient's performance on a series of tests shows that he/she suffered a brain injury that resulted in significant deficits in thinking abilities after being involved in a trauma such as being hit by a car.
QUESTIONS/TOPICS YOU SHOULD CONSIDER WHEN INTERVIEWING A NEUROPSYCHOLOGIST?
The following list of questions or concerns you should have/ask when choosing a neuropsychologist is meant to be a jumping off point and no specific question or issue should, of itself, disqualify any neuropsychologist you are considering. These are meant to enable you to begin a discussion with the neuropsychologist to explore whether or not the doctor is the best fit for you.
1. Does the neuropsychologist should have a doctoral degree in clinical psychology from an accredited university or college?
2. You want the best trained doctor, right? Ask if the neuropsychologist completed coursework in other neurosciences such as neuroanatomy (the study of the structure of the brain and spinal cord) and neuropathology (the study of disorders of the brain and spinal cord). The more breadth to the doctor's background, the better your chance of recovery?
3. Did the neuropsychologist attend a graduate school program that complies with the guidelines for neuropsychological training set forth by Division 40 (Neuropsychology) of the American Psychological Association? For further information, go to http://www.div40.org/
4. Did the neuropsychologist do an internship (supervised training at the end of graduate school) at a program that meets the guidelines set forth by Division 40 of the American Psychological Association and the International Neuropsychological Society.
5. Board certification is an indication that the neuropsychologist has been recognized by his peers as being extremely qualified and proficient. Not everyone is board-qualified. Make sure to ask about this? One who is board certified has been agreed upon by a board (group) of peers (other neuropsychologists) to meet the rigorous standards necessary to practice neuropsychology, and has achieved the highest level of education possible in this field. To assure that you are being served by a neuropsychologist who is competent to practice neuropsychology, it is usually recommended that you see a board-certified neuropsychologist.
