Thunder eggs, or geodes, are geological rock formations which occur in sedimentary and certain volcanic rocks. They look like regular rocks from the outside, the exterior typically made up of limestone, but then have crystal formations of quartz on the inside. They're referred to as thunder eggs by treasure hunters because they do resemble very large eggs because of their smooth exterior and round shape. If you're interested in any type of treasure hunting you may want to start out with these thunder eggs, or geodes.The real value of the geodes is their appearance when they are halved and polished. Their crystal formations typically come in a wide variety of colors, from deep purple to pink, blue, and even a silvery crystal color. The formations of the rock itself leave a wavy design in the color, and the crystals on the inside emit a fiery glow. Some thunder eggs that have been found are so large that they have been made into furniture, such as coffee or side tables. Adding a base and a glass top makes the rock into a very interesting and sturdy piece of furniture.It's often difficult to tell what's going to be inside those geodes until you actually split it open, and usually they require some polishing in order for them to be at their full potential when it comes to shine and brilliance.If you're interested in finding some geodes you need to know where to look or them. Chances are you won't find them in your backyard, unless you live in Utah or Mexico. Other area where Thunder Eggs have been found is Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, Utah, and the Geode State Park in Henry County, Iowa. Iowa designated the geode as the official state rock in 1967. Rock Hound State Park in Deming New Mexico is open to the public for Rock Hounds of all ages. It is known for its wide variety of mineral specimens due to ancient volcanic activity in the area. Geodes can be found littering the valley floor. Look for round or oval shaped rocks with a lumpy surface similar to the look of a cauliflower. Use your rock hammer and break open the rock. There is no easy way to determine what you have until you break the rock open. Thunder Eggs are also found in the rocky crags of the desert walls. Watch out for snakes and scorpions when reaching into any rocky outcropping.According to Wikipedia, a large geode the size of a minivan was discovered in Ohio in the early 1900's in an area now known as Crystal Cave. You can actually take tours of this area during the summer. While it's unlikely that you'll find any geodes as large as your vehicle eoakleyfake, the point is that they are obviously out there and can be quite valuable.When searching for thunder eggs it's best to have with you a reliable guide that maps out areas of the dessert or certain cave formations where you may find them. It's also imperative that you pay close attention to your own personal safety and never go spelunking or exploring in the dessert alone and without proper precautions. There are no geodes that you may find that are worth your own personal life and safety.Happy Treasure Hunting.
Shoulder Tendinitis: What��s The Answer?When considering shoulder tendinitis, as if biceps (long head) tendinitis and supra spinatus tendinitis aren��t enough of a concern, the shoulder itself presents many other problems as well: arthritis, bursitis, narrow A-C joint, joint jamming Oakley Lifestyle, neuritis, labrum (cartilage) problems, adhesive capulitis (frozen shoulder), or rotator cuff strains or tears.The shoulder is the #2 area of all joint problems, the elbow being the #1 area because of the prevalence of difficulties. All of these conditions can cause pain and limited range of motion of the shoulder joint. So, when a patient says, ��My arm hurts�� it opens the floodgate, and bodes the question, ��What part of your arm hurts?��10 Hot Spots in ��Trouble Making�� Shoulder Tendinitis1. Shoulder Tendinitis and Osteo-ArthritisThis condition may be evident on x-ray as calcium deposits or roughening of the head of the humerus (upper arm bone). Pain on movement and during weather changes is common (in fact, arthritis patients are often excellent meteorologists!). Glucosamine Sulfate can often help as well as heat or cold applications.2. Shoulder Tendinitis: BursitisThe bursa is a sack that holds the joint fluid in place. When the sack becomes irritated, it inflames and may secrete more joint fluid causing swelling of the joint. Recommended therapy is cold applications over the entire joint for 10 minutes, twice each day, and rest. 3. Shoulder Tendinitis and the Narrow A-C jointThe acromio-clavicular joint is the smaller of the two shoulder joints. Through injury or over-use it can become narrow and cause pain on the top of the shoulder. Recommended therapy is manipulation of the scapula, which delivers phenomenal results and cold applications for 10 minutes twice daily.4. Shoulder Tendinitis: Joint-JammingAppears as a result of injury or over use. Therapy is ��Pump-Handle�� the arm toward the body with a roll of bathroom tissue tucked into the axilla (armpit). Protect the side of the rib cage with padded thin plywood flat on the rib area and under the bathroom tissue. 5. Shoulder Tendinitis and NeuritisThe cause is usually in the spine. Therapy is Chiropractic manipulation (The REAL thing, NOT the empty ��staple gun��) It takes time and may seem worse in the initial stages, but after 6-8 visits, a light can be seen at the end of the tunnel.6. Shoulder Tendinitis and Cartilage ProblemsWhen the labrum (cartilage) is damaged usually surgery is necessary.7. Shoulder Tendinitis and Adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder)Some experts say exercise is contraindicated. I say without exercise the shoulder will not improve and could even become worse! There is a correct way and a wrong way to perform this exercise; and it requires a helper to perform correctly.8. Shoulder Tendinitis and Rotator Cuff Strains or TearsCause��Heavy workload, or over-extending the shoulder joint. Therapy: Special exercise tubing strengthens the rotator cuff and cold applications twice daily for 10 minutes.Rotator cuff tears are due to severe strain, usually requiring surgery.9. Shoulder Tendinitis and Biceps tendinitisThere are two biceps tendons:A. The long head of the biceps muscle tendon is located on the front side of the shoulder near the shoulder crease. It responds well to our therapy.B. The main biceps muscle tendon is located at the front side center (palm up) of the elbow. It too responds well to our therapy.10. Shoulder Tendinitis and Supra-spinatus tendinitisThis tendon is located at the upper outside (mid-deltoid) area of the shoulder. It responds well to our therapy, as do most of the others aforementioned in this article.

Remember for a moment the last time you were with that perfect someone. The mood was right, the music was perfect, the atmosphere was picturesque. Everything was in a groove, you could almost touch the libido and testosterone in the air. Then it happened, the moment of pure fear! Damn!............. time for the condom! Well, let me tell you, those moments of terror are over. 'Tis the day of "The New Condom Revolution" where the world is a better place, where safety and pleasure live as one and new condoms have found a place in the hearts of millions. It seems the new condom industry is having a rebound of sorts, a rebirth you might say. The introduction of the "New" condoms has had such a profound impact on the safe sex market that even "Wal-Mart" is taking note. We can't tell you why the manufacturers have taken so long to finally produce a new condom worth wearing, we can only thank them and beg for more. The story of the New Condom Revolution begins with the invasion of the Japanese condoms on the US market in the early 90's. New condoms like Beyond Seven, Crown condoms and Kimono Microthin condoms started ruffling the feathers of the big boys like Carter Wallace and Ansell. These new condoms were much thinner than the condoms of old. Why these new condoms actually felt natural like a skinless skin, people were finally feeling pleasure when they had sex.Ansell retaliated with it's Lifestyles Xtra Pleasure condom. Sporting a dome-like head and touted as being a friction enhancer, the Xtra Pleasure was a hit from day one. Carter Wallace quickly followed suit with it's version of the friction enhancer, the Trojan Ultra Pleasure. Although not as drastic of a shape as theLifestyles Xtra Pleasure, the Trojan Ultra Pleasure also debuted with cheers of approval. The gates are now open, the battle has begun. Back In the early 1990's, an ingenious Indian physician by the name of Dr. Alla Venkata Krishna Reddy changed the shape of condoms. Dr Reddy stated that "if you developed a condom with more pleasure, people would use it regularly". Dr. A.V.K. Reddy, whom the New York Times called the "Leonardo da Vinci" of condoms spent countless hours developing a new condom that would stimulate the nerve endings in a mans penis in the exact location to provide the most significant sensation and pleasure. The Pleasure Plus condom was born. The Pleasure Plus condom featured a dynamic-action pouch. The pouch at the head of the new condom provided room and comfort unlike the tight confining feeling of ordinary condoms. Meanwhile the extra rolling folds of the pouch also moved against the underbelly of the penis head creating a pleasing natural friction against the most sensitive areas . "All that rubbing was the next best thing to skin on skin �C for me and my partner. A must-try. Sensitivity rating: A+" --Men's Health MagazinePleasure Plus Condoms were a huge hit outselling other condoms and quickly setting a standard by which other companies would follow. Unfortunately no sooner than the Pleasure Plus appeared it quickly vanished from the market. Plagued by financial troubles, Reddy's company went bankrupt. Reddy, owing money to a slew of creditors and as part of his bankruptcy proceedings, sold the rights to the Pleasure Plus condom. Global Protection Corp a Boston based company reintroduced the Pleasure Plus condom in the summer of '99 and now owns the rights and oversees the manufacturing of the condoms.Inspiral Dr. Reddy, who lives in Chennai, India, and Plainsboro, N.J., went back to the drawing board and designed a new condom masterpiece, the Inspiral condom, which he now calls "the best condom I've created." The Inspiral actually has several patents, one being the only "spring action" condom on the market. The Inspiral condoms which debuted in the summer of '99 have a spiral shape unlike the Pleasure Plus condom which causes the curves of this spiral shape to create a sliding sensation all around the tip of the penis. The Inspiral is part condom/part toy...the Condomtoy? condom. Meanwhile back in 1995, Durex was busy introducing the world's first polyurethane condom for men, the Durex Avanti condoms. Avanti quickly rose to the top of the condom market by consistently ranking among the world's most popular brands. Known for it's unique benefits, it is heat conductive (warms to the body's temperature), has no taste or odor, and, unlike latex, can be used safely with oil-based lubricants and is designed for those who are allergic to latex. Well, Trojan has finally come out with a polyurethane condom of their own, the Trojan Supra condoms. Trojan's Supra is very similar to the Avanti in many ways however, the Supra is a bit wider while being softer and more comfortable. Most noticeable though is the Supra's completely clear microsheer polyurethane, making it the world's first truly clear almost invisible condom oakley golf sunglasses!And now we have even more contenders for the King of all Condoms throne. The Trojan Extended Pleasure, introduced in 2001, was the first condom containing a delaying lubricant to prolong a man's staying power and The Trojan Her Pleasure condoms were designed with the woman in mind. The long bulb shaped head and raised treads on the shaft are a perfect condom combination. The loose fitting head with all the extra latex moving around makes for extra stimulation for him as well as her.Finally in the mid 2000's The new "Warming condoms" emerged adding a whole new spark to the already hot condom Market. Every big name jumped on the bandwagon. Trojan, Lifestyles, Durex, they all had the new condoms with the warming lubricant. Durex and Trojan followed quickly with the "Cooling" Mint Tingle and Tingling pleasure condoms.As it now stands as of 2006, there have never been as many condoms on the market at one time as there are now! So there you have it, the "New Condom Revolution". It's been a long hard battle for supremacy but it looks like we have a true winner and that winner is you the consumer. The new condom shapes and sizes along with the advancements in technology in the condom industry have made for some pretty exciting safe sex lately. So when it comes time to reach for the best condom have no fear. The condom reviews say that If you aren't feeling sensational down there, you just haven't found the right condom for you yet. But trust me you will!
Our beloved dogs can behave in a manner that leaves us completely amazed. This is especially true for new dog owners. Why do they behave they way they do? This little guide will help you answer some of these questions.1. My dog eats the cat��s poop from the litter boxI agree that this is truly bizarre. The explanation for this behavior is that since cats eats foods rich in protein, their stool has high protein content which makes dog crave for this protein.2. My dog likes eating pantyhoses & socksThe most probable reason for this behavior is that the dog is bored or frustrated. Once he starts chewing the item, he naturally wants to swallow the item. Once you realize the item that your dog like eating, keep them safely hidden in your drawers.3. My dog likes to chew at my shoesThis can happens during the teething stage of your puppy or probably he loves the attention he gets when he does that. If your puppy is teething, give him alternatives like chew toys. Should your dog be an adult, he probably is seeking attention so don��t fuss around him in order to check his behavior.4. My dog loves to dig holesDigging comes naturally to dogs. When the dog digs, he wants to bury something or wants to reach the cool soil under the earth. Should your dog dig for no good reason, train him to dig at certain spots instead of allowing him to do it all over.5. My dog likes to jump at visitorsSeems you have a very affectionate dog in your hands. When dogs are still small, they love to do it and since they look so cute, most people don��t mind this. With time the puppy grows up and what was once adorable now becomes uncomfortable and threatening to children as well as adults. We recommend that you train your dog not to jump at people at an early stage6. My dog loves to stick his head out when I��m drivingHe loves the fresh air outside and also the new sights and smells the opportunity offers him. This looks innocent but junk lying on the road can fly and hurt his eyes and head so its best to keep the windows rolled up when you are driving. 7. My dog is so afraid of thunder!Most dogs that are usually courageous will flinch when thunder booms in the sky. The dogs feel that they cannot flee from the impeding danger from the loud noise. They naturally want to take off and if they are confined, they start to howl or pace around.
When an individual owns a business, roofing is one of the many aspects of the building that must be maintained to keep appearances up as well as property value. The way an office or commercial establishment looks and is taken care of will say a lot to customers about the way a company is run. No matter what type of business one operates, a leaky business roofing will have an adverse effect on it. Here are some examples:Restaurant: Running a restaurant takes lots of stamina, organization and creativity. Hiring the right chefs, wait staff, planning the menu, purchasing the freshest ingredients, decorating the dining areas are all important. The building must be well maintained, too, or catastrophe could happen. Imagine a Valentine's Day with tables full of customers enjoying romantic meals that the chef worked hard to prepare. Candles are lit; flowers are in vases when suddenly the skies open up with a thunderstorm. Repairing the roof hadn't made it to the top of the "to do" list and suddenly, water is dripping from the ceiling. Talk about a mood killer!?br />Dentists' office: Patients are in chairs having cavities filled, root canals and x-rays taken when a clap of thunder announces the arrival of another storm. Suddenly, the patient who was so nervous about her appointment in the first place is getting soaked with raindrops coming through the leaky roof. Should the dentist ask her to hold a bucket during the procedure? Probably not.Grocery store: Shoppers are filling their carts with produce, loafs of fresh bread, hunks of wrapped cheese when suddenly there's a large crash in aisle number eleven. Did a display of canned goods fall down? Nope. That moist patch of roof that the manager never got around to dealing with has collapsed onto the linoleum. The customers are gasping, leaving their carts in the aisle and dashing out of the store, afraid of what will fall from the ceiling next.Day spa: It's Friday afternoon after a stressful work week and the clients have trooped in for facials, massages and pedicures. Ah! Finally a respite from crazy schedules. Lights are dimmed in the massage rooms; clients soak their feet and chitchat with each other while cool jazz and new age music alternately streams from the sound system. Suddenly, there are sounds of pitter pattering raindrops. Is that part of the music? Nope, it's a real storm that has descended with a vengeance. Crash, bang, lightning, thunder and holy smokes, multiple leaks are coming through the loose and missing shingles. Instead of feeling pampered, the clients are feeling panicky. They grab their shoes, clothes and wallets and hit the road as soon as possible. The employees are mad, too. It's not a good day for business.Leaky business roofing is a terrible thing for a restaurant's, dentist's, grocer's, or day spa's bottom line. Not only will that day be ruined, but customers will remember it and not want to come back in the future, either. Proper business roofing maintenance and repair of a building is a must when it comes to running a business.
