Varicose veins are visible, protruding veins that appear just under the skin. Varicose comes from the Latin root varix for “twisted”. They may occur in clusters that look like spider webs, or be large, single veins that are easily observed. They’re most often seen on people’s legs, especially their calves, and are made up of stretched, expanded, or twisted veins in which the flow of blood has been reversed. Varicose veins are the most common disorder in the lower part of the body. They affect 10-20% of the population, and appear between the ages of 30 and 70. They usually get progressively worse.

Varicose veins can’t be cured, but they can be treated with considerable success. Treatment concentrates on relieving pain and managing complications. People who have obvious spidery veins also often seek cosmetic treatment. Wearing lightweight compression hosiery can stop the pain from small, mild varicose veins altogether. Heavier elastic support stockings, knee-length or thigh-length, can also be worn by patients with advanced varicose veins. If these treatments don’t help, injections to “strip” the veins can stop the pain right away and make the veins less visible.

Sclerotherapy is a procedure that involves injecting a concentrated saline or chemical solution into the vein. The sclerosing (hardening) solution causes the vein to close up or collapse and become scar tissue. This causes blood to flow only to the non-varicose veins. It can be performed in a doctor’s office (usually a dermatologist or a vein specialist) and is associated with little discomfort. Many veins can be injected at a given time. Several injection sessions are usually required to effectively close a vein and it usually takes a few weeks for healing to occur after each injection. Allergic reactions to sclerotherapy are rare. Scarring can occur and a brown blemishing of the skin may appear. It usually fades but can be permanent. Some superficial varicose veins can be treated with a laser.

Varicose veins can also be treated by surgery. Your doctor may suggest surgery if you have extremely visible varicose veins or changes in your skin, or if you suffer from significant pain and constantly inflamed veins, a condition called recurrent phlebitis (thrombophlebitis). Physicians who recommend extensive surgery may “strip” deeper veins in the legs while removing as many of the swollen twisted varicose veins as possible. A few isolated varicose veins may continue to be bothersome after surgery, but these can usually be treated with injections.

There are some things people can do to help prevent varicose veins. They include:

• exercise - walking is a great way to increase blood flow in the legs
• weight control - shedding excess pounds takes unnecessary pressure off veins
  in the legs
• wearing compression stockings
• avoiding high heels - low-heeled shoes work calf muscles more, which is better for veins. Don’t wear tight clothes around your calves or groin. Tight panty-leg girdles, for instance, can limit blood circulation
• elevating legs - take three or four 10- to 15-minute breaks daily to elevate the legs above the level of the heart (e.g., lie down with legs resting on three or four pillows)
• avoiding long periods of sitting or standing - make a point to change position frequently to encourage blood flow

I went to the Y Fitness in Centro today and found a notice written that, “Y Fitness closed until further notice” or I would perceive it as, “What happened to Yogazone, happen to us”. We know Yogazone has closed down and has changed their management of the courts (in a word, they are closed), now this same issue would stike YFitness. There were an incident where a tour agent company closed down and the owner of the company flee off their customers money (who booked their tours or tour to no-where?). Now it looks like a trend, after charging the clients for an amount for a period of time and the company goes missing. I think membership that would cost for periods should not be allowed or the consumer should be protected in some way. It should not ask the customer to pay for the yearly fee in one short yet the member have not even enjoy the facilities for the time frame and the company just gone in a day.

This would certainly be a new experience and the last one to not believe those “pay first, enjoy later” type of products or services as you might not know what would happen next, like what happened to Y Fitness!

君笑，关上火转身抱我：“傻丫头，我答应过你不骗你。如果我说不娶可我后来娶了，不就骗了你么？”

我也笑，躲在他怀里，快乐得像只小鸟“好吧，准你娶她。不过，不许她碰我那些漂亮娃娃。”“为什么？”

“因为，那是你送我的爱的信物，死后啊，我要在那儿看着你！”“哇！好恐怖啊！”君大笑地抱紧我“傻孩子，你的命啊，长着呢！”

现在，我就活在这堆娃娃里，我想象不到短短十天，我便真的与君阴阳相隔。
　　

我是死于车祸的。一切来的那么突然。那时，我正盘算着周末我们要去哪儿旅行，那车就飞速冲来了。其实，没什么很大的痛楚，清醒时，我看到人们七手八脚的把我抬上救护车，只觉得好笑，因为我知道那是多余的。意识到自己的死亡，我一点也不难过。我一向没什么朋友，只有君。现在仍可以陪着君，看着君就行了。管他是什么样的形态呢。想到这儿，我便大步走回家。

家门前，我犹豫了。我记得以前听说魂是可以越墙而入的。我试了试，居然成功了！这令我兴奋不已，又来回再试了几次。嘿，做魂也没什么不好的。起码钥匙省了！
　　

进到屋内，我逛了一圈，君还没有回来。突然想起，这是上班时间。于是又在屋内不停的溜弯儿。欣赏我们的房子是我生前最爱做的事儿。当然，死后也不例外。虽然，这间屋子，我已再熟悉不过。因为，在这儿，我渡过了我一生中最幸福最快乐的375日。至今，我还记得结婚那天，君在家门前望着我的表情。他说：“丫头，以后这就是我们的家了！我们的！”是啊，我和君的。从那天起，我便不停装扮它，直至今天，我再也无法为它效力为止。
　　

我看到屋内的粉红色窗帘，卡通的大地毯和那堆了大半个卧室的娃娃。突然想起君每每抚摸我头发轻声说：“你真是个孩子。”时，那无奈又怜爱的样子。是啊，能把家弄像个玩具店，我不是孩子又是什么呢？只可惜再也看不到群在说这话时的表情了。
　　

我叹了口气，回到娃娃堆坐下。不知不觉中竟睡着了。醒来时，已是天黑。我感到了一丝寒气。使抱怨起君竟然忘了把我抱回暖烘烘的被窝。这才猛然想起，我已从君的生命中消失了，而且是很彻底的。我起身，开始绕着屋子找他，最后是在卫生间里找到我心爱的君的。
　　

他趴在浴缸上，旁边摆着许多空酒瓶，地上被吐得乱七八糟，一股刺鼻的味儿飘散在空气中。我不悦地捏着鼻子，蹲下来看他。竟发现他脸上挂着泪痕。天！我的君会哭？！那个坚强无比的他竟然哭了！多不可思议啊！我试图拉起他，可手却穿越了他的身体！我试了一次又一次，在筋疲力尽后，我决定放弃。头一次，我知道自己是这么无能的。在我的君如此痉时，我连拉他一把的能力都没有。这样的妻子要来何用呢？
　　

我轻轻吻了吻他的嘴唇，在他的身边坐下。除了这样陪他，我想不到还有什么其它的办法。
　　

“丫头，不要走，不要……”我听见君在叫我。我知道他是说醉话了。我笑：“傻瓜，我这么爱你，怎会舍得离你而去呢？” 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　

一个月后，日子渐渐恢复正常。我的君仍旧准时准点的上下班，只是不再爱笑；而我，也依旧是那个快乐的小主妇，乖乖的呆在家陪我的娃娃们，只是君不曾发觉；我们还是那样过着属于我们两个人的日子，屋内的一切都没有改变过。直到有一天，玲的出现。
　　

玲按门铃时，群正在书房里加班做他的计划书，我则在一旁傻呵呵的陪他。我想不出在夜里这个时候会有什么人来访？走到客厅，便看到性感的玲和呆呆的君。
　　

这是我第一次见玲。她留着长长的卷发，穿着黑色的性感套装，化了很浓的妆。四周全是她身上散发出的香水味儿。我不禁低头看了看自己身上的娃娃裙和兔兔拖鞋。和她比，我是名符其实的孩子。
　

　“我搬来了。”听到玲这样说，我才注意到她身边的行李袋。搬来？住哪儿？我和君的家么？我奇怪的望着她。
　

　“别胡闹，你给我回去声”君似乎在发火。我头一次看到君发火的样子，很凶。我害怕。
　

　“凭什么？你老婆都死了，难道我们现在不应该正大光明了吗？”

玲笑得很灿烂，可我觉得很冷 “瞧！你老婆死得多好啊。多会挑时间啊。连离婚都省得你和她说了……”“啪！”我看见君打了玲一巴掌。我惊呆了！君怎么会打人呢？他平时连骂一声都不曾有过的。如此温柔的君竟然会打人？他还有多少是我不曾知道的？？
　

　“哼！现在打我？！以前在我床上对我甜言蜜语的日子，你忘记了是吧！你可别忘了，你是答应过我和你老婆离婚娶我的！……”离婚？！君想和我离婚么？他不爱凶？他竟要娶玲？我怎么一点也不曾发觉？玲再说的话，我已一个字都听不进去。我跌跌撞撞的走回我的娃娃堆。抱着它们。我觉得鼻子酸酸的，一股热浪从眼里涌了出来。
　　

原来，魂也会流泪啊！玲就这样搬进了我和君的家，像个女主人一样睡在我和君的床上，不同的只是君搬去了客厅。她换掉我的卡通地毯和粉红窗帘。拿走我衣橱里的娃娃裙和鞋架上的兔兔鞋。她把它们通通扔到垃圾箱里。
　　

君什么也不说，只默默地把它们捡回来，洗干净，再放进我深爱的娃娃堆里。然后连续不断的对我说：
“丫头，对不起，我对不起你啊！”我望着君，心疼的掉泪。可我不愿原谅他！我无法接受我和君的生活中，出现一个莫明其妙的玲。她像个女皇一样在我和君的屋子里指手划脚，把我一点点挤出去；把我曾精心装扮的小屋变成她的家。尤其让我无法忍受的是，君的欺骗。他为了玲欺骗我！他说过不会骗我的，连我死后的事儿都不愿意欺骗的君，为什么会在我还在人世时，就和玲在一块儿呢？一瞬间，我与君有过的幸福日子显得那么苍白无力。
　

　“这堆垃圾给我扔了！”玲指着我的鼻尖对君说。我看了看四周，明白了，她指的是我的宝贝娃娃。这些都是君送我的。是我们每一次快乐的纪念。第一次约会，第一次做饭，第一次接吻……我们都异常珍惜。还说以后要留给孩子看，告诉他们爸爸妈妈有多么幸福，可如今……天！我看到了什么？君在收拾它们！他要扔掉它们么？他忘了我说过我活在娃娃堆里么？他真的不要我了？一点也再想念他的丫头？我拼命的摇头，却阻止不了他的动作。
　　

君把娃娃收做一堆时，玲很满意地笑了：“快点，扔了它们，我们得忘了过去，开始新的生活了。”君看了看玲，并不理睬她。只很温柔的在每个娃娃的脸上都亲上一口，像以前亲吻我那样。“玲，你走吧！我求你了！离开我和丫头的家！我不会扔了它们，也不能扔了它们！我的丫头活在里面，她在看着我啊！”玲愤怒的望着君：“你说过，你爱我，你是我的！”“不是，不是！对不起，我骗了你，骗了丫头，更骗了我自己！”君失声痛哭“我只爱丫头，只爱她一个啊！任何人都代替不了她，可是，我明白的太晚了……”我奔上前，像以前一样抱住他的后背。泪水横飞，我不能不原谅他啊！不久，玲搬走了。像来时那样匆忙。连声再见都没和君说。我想她是伤心的，我看着她忧郁的背影想为她做些什么，可有心无力。我不恨她，只希望她以后一切都可以很好。就像我不恨君一样，我知道爱一旦深入骨髓，就不懂怎么会恨了。 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

玲走后，又恢复以前宁静而冷清的日子。君把我们的屋子恢复原样。没事儿时便捧着我的照片发呆。要不就一夜接一夜的不停工作。他把自己封闭起来。看着他日渐清瘦的脸庞，我心里说不出是什么滋味儿。欣便是在那时候闯入了君的生活。欣与君的相识平淡无奇。那日，欣刚搬到隔壁的空屋，可保险丝断了，便来向君借。我知道君看到欣时愣住了，因为我也愣住了。欣与我长得出奇的像。只是眉宇间多了份成熟。我看到君抱紧欣叫她丫头时，欣莫名又尴尬的表情。忍不住大笑。我的君竟然也有此等愚笨的时候！从此，欣和君便开始了似有似无的交往。
　　

欣是个很温柔的女人。与创造性幼稚的我是完全不同的。她常在我和君的小屋出入，为君收拾房子，做出可口的饭菜，但从不过夜。我就那么每天坐在娃娃堆里，看着她擦拭我的照片，打扫娃娃身上的灰尘，看她不厌其烦的听君讲我和他的故事……
　　

我打了个很大的哈欠，我想我呆乏了，或许应该换个地方。 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　

君和欣的婚礼是那么自然。我甚至没有一丝嫉妒。婚后的欣像以前一样，她没改变房中任何一点小摆设，包括我那堆曾被玲称为垃圾的娃娃们。望着她每日奔波忙碌的样子，我觉得像是一幅温馨而美丽的画。突然间发现我已是那么多余了。可是，我不愿离开君。
　　

欣怀孕了。这令君兴奋不已。初为人父的喜悦是无法言语的。他像当初娇惯我一般宠着欣，甚至有过之而无不及。
　　

我想欣是幸福的。可我又该如何呢？这个的问题一直困惑着我，直到那日。
　　

那天，君外出了。我看到欣站在娃娃堆前摸着肚子自言自语“宝宝，你会很幸福的，因为你有两个妈妈疼。”然后，她摸了摸娃娃的脸蛋：“丫头，你也很疼我们的宝宝的。对么？”我明白了，欣不是自言自语，而是在对我说。
　　

我释然了。站起来，伸了个大懒腰。窗外明媚的阳光透过玻璃照在我的身上，暖洋洋的。我知道，宝宝只会有一个妈妈疼。便起身离开我心爱的娃娃们，我相信，很快会再见的。数月后，君与欣生下一漂亮的女儿，取名叫丫头

如果我還一直深愛著你…你是否還會待在我身邊?

如果我還一直在乎著你…你是否會再多看我一眼?

是否我已不存在了…你才感覺的到我的離開?

是否我已離開了….你才感覺的到我對你的好?

在此祝福全天下所以的有情人~都能夠忠誠眷屬~~

    阿拉伯传中有两个朋友在沙漠中旅行，在旅途中的某点他们吵架了，一个还给了另外一个一记耳光。被打的觉得受辱，一言不语，在沙子上写下：”今天我的好朋友打了我一巴掌。”他们继续往前走。直到到了沃野，他们就决定停下。被打巴掌的那位差点淹死，幸好被朋友救起来了。被救起後，他拿了一把小剑在石头上刻了：”今天我的好朋友救了我一命。”

   一旁好奇的朋友问说：为什麽我打了你以後，你要写在沙子上，
而现在要刻在石头上呢？

   另个笑笑的回答说：当被一个朋友伤害时，要写在易忘的地方，风会负责抹去它；相反的如果被帮助，我们要把它刻在心里的深处，那里任何风都不能抹灭它。

   朋友的相处伤害往往是无心的，帮助却是真心的，忘记那些无心的伤害；铭记那些对你真心帮助，你会发现这世上你有很多真心的朋友…

   俗语说:你只需要花一分钟注意到一个人；一小时内变成朋友：一天让你爱上他；一但真心爱上 . . .
你却需要花上一生的时间将他遗忘，直至喝下那孟婆汤…

   朋友呀！当你看到这里，你是否有一点启示呢？
在日常生活中，就算最要好的朋友也会有磨擦，我们也许会因这些磨擦而分开。但每当夜阑人静时，我们望向星空，总会看到过去美好回忆。不知为何，一些锁碎的回忆，却为我寂寞的心灵带来无限的震撼！就是这感觉令我更明白你对我的重要！
在此，我希望你能更珍惜你的朋友。

Quote from Linkworth

I believe you may have heard about adsense or adbrite. No? Those advertisement that shows on one website. But wait, dont get me wrong that Linkworth is the same. What I like about Linkworth is the differences that it have and got my interest. What’s the different?

First, you may observe that advertisement has been so common on many website. Aside of it, you get paid when only your visitors click on those ads. Many issue need to consider and sometime thing need to get right before you can even start earning. Linkworth is much more simple. You submit your website and you get paid once your website caught the attention of the potential advertiser that wants to place link on your website or even at time, want you to write review for them. There are quite a number of products offered by Linkworth and I can assure you, no risk involved and it’s really simple to start making money online.

But but I run a commercial website or I don’t need to make money through that. Well, you may take a look on their search engine marketing or text link advertising. They provide a great deal to market your product throughout the internet including most well known directory services and search engines. If you have a website and wants it to get listed on most of the well known search engines, take a look at it. No harm taking a look at it and you may even get benefits from it.
