INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Cross the left lace over and thread it through the next highest hole on the right side of the boot. Take the right lace and do the same thing. Pull on both ends of the lace to tighten them. You should see an X. Criss-cross lacing is good if you need your shoes to stay securely on your feet. Continue crisscrossing your laces all the way up your shoe until you don't have any more empty eyelets. After making every cross, remember to pull on both ends of the shoelace to tighten your boot. You'll need at least 2 inches (5.1cm) on each end of the lace in order to tie a knot. If you run out of shoelace, avoid threading the laces through the very top eyelets in your shoes. Not threading the top holes will leave you enough lace so that you can properly tie a knot. . Tie a bow with your laces as you normally would to tie your shoes. You can put the bow in front or behind the tongue of the Timberland, depending on whether you want your laces to show. If you're working in your boots, tuck the laces behind the tongue so that they don't come undone and so that you don't trip over them. Pull on both ends of the laces to tighten your Timberlands before you tie your knot or bow.

SUMMARY: Cross the left lace over and thread it through the opposite hole. Repeat the process until you've laced your laces through every eyelet. Skip the highest holes if you don't have any more lace. Tie your shoes

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Using over-the-counter painkillers can inhibit the production of prostaglandin, the substance responsible for pain and inflammation in your body. Do not take these drugs continuously for longer than 10 to 14 days. Any of the following can be tried for pain control: Naproxen (275-500 mg twice a day). Naproxen works by inhibiting the release of inflammatory substances, COX-1 and COX-2. This is the medication of choice for treating joint inflammation, because it has been proven to be effective in joint diseases. Ibuprofen (200-800 mg every six hours). Ibuprofen provides fast-acting pain and inflammation relief when taken in liquid gel form. Acetaminophen (500-1000 mg every four to six hours). This does not help with inflammation, but can serve to combat pain. These are available over-the-counter or by prescription. Your best bet is to speak to your dentist if simple over-the-counter painkillers have not been sufficient to control your pain. Your dentist can then advise you on which type of muscle relaxant is most effective, or he can recommend another treatment altogether depending upon the nature and severity of your TMJ pain. A short-term course of long acting benzodiazepines, such as Valium, can be used to treat severe acute TMJ symptoms. These drugs, in low dosages, can help to relieve TMJ-related pain. An example of this medication is amitriptyline (Elavil). Start from a low dose of 10 milligrams, to avoid side effects. The dosage can be increased over time until the pain is relieved. For patients who also experience anxiety and/or depression, treating the condition with methods such as medication or relaxation/stress management training can also be helpful for TMJ pain. Tricyclic antidepressants are generally considered after lifestyle changes, NSAIDs and muscle relaxers have shown to not be effective. Once the effective dose of the tricyclic has been determined, it is generally prescribed for up to four months and then tapered down to a lower dose. Corticosteroids mimic your body's natural adrenal production, causing a reduction in inflammation and pain due to TMJ. Steroids are used when other treatments for TMJ have failed to relieve your pain and discomfort. Your dentist can inject the corticosteroids into your TMJ joint, to help relieve severe pain. If you have the habit of clenching your jaws and grinding your teeth, your dentist can take a teeth impression and make acrylic splints to fit on your upper and lower teeth. TMJ is weakly associated with teeth grinding (bruxism). These splints help reduce your clenching and grinding habits by preventing the teeth from contacting each other. The shape of the splints also helps to keep your teeth in their appropriate positions and to correct bad bites. You can wear the occlusal splints throughout the day, except when you are eating. You can use night guards that are similar to splints during the night if you have a habit of grinding your teeth. Your dentist will advise you on the exact splints or mouth guards that will suit your TMJ problems. Using a splint in addition to making lifestyle changes is more effective in treating TMJ pain than using the splint alone. Replacing missing teeth by applying crowns, bridges, and grinding uneven surfaces helps to distribute the biting and chewing forces equally between all your teeth surfaces; however, correction and adjustment rarely provides full relief from TMJ problems. In osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT), your dentist uses special forceps placed in between your upper and lower teeth to gently open your mouth. The mouth is gradually opened more and more on each visit. With the help of OMT, your ability to open your mouth will improve, even without muscle relaxants. In TENS, a current or pulse of electricity is applied by a device to stimulate your nerves and contracted muscles. This stimulation makes the muscles contract and relax, almost as if they were massaging themselves. TENS also stimulates the production of endorphins, which are natural pain-relieving agents. It is a non-invasive method, and 30 60 minutes in each session of TENS normally provides a good result.

SUMMARY: Take over-the-counter painkillers to reduce mild to moderate inflammation and pain. Use muscle relaxants to relax your jaw muscles. Try taking tricyclic antidepressants. Take corticosteroids to reduce severe inflammation. Get an occlusal splint from your dentist to prevent teeth grinding and clenching. Have crowns and bridges put on to correct and adjust your bite. Look into osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) to relax your jaw muscles and ligaments. Try TENS (Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation).

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Short-raised panels have a square-like shape. They give garage doors depth and character. They go great with Victorian or colonial-style homes. Short raised panels also complement a Tudor home's strong architectural lines. Long-raised panels have a more rectangular shape when compared to short-raised panels. Like short-raised panels, they give garage doors depth and distinction. Long-raised panels go with a variety of home architectural styles. Because flush panels are flat, garage doors with flush panels tend to blend into the surrounding wall area. Flush panels are also slightly textured. The type of glass you choose depends on how much light you want to come in through the door. You can also choose how many window panels per section you want.

SUMMARY:
Choose short-raised panels. Pick long-raised panels. Try a flush panel design if you want a garage door that doesn't stand out. Select glass panels if you want a contemporary door.
