The younger they both are the better. If you get both your guinea pig and cat when they are each very young and allow them to grow up together, they are especially likely to become friends. Try to introduce your cat to your guinea pig before the cat is ten weeks old. Cats this young are undergoing the critical socialization period of their development and will be especially susceptible to information indicating that the guinea pig is a friend and fellow housemate. If you don't get your cat and guinea pig when they're both young, introducing them to each other may not go entirely smoothly. We're talking weeks of hardened stare-downs and weird, carnal noisemaking. Don't push either one of them. Trying to expedite the process will likely add stress to the situation and make it harder for them to calm down around one another. Once they've acclimated to one another's scent, allow quick eye contact sessions from a distance. These are the best way to handle visual introductions. Place the cat inside a kennel. Let the cat watch as you praise the guinea pig and feed the guinea pig treats for being calm and relaxed. The guinea pig will likely play its part because guinea pigs tend not to overthink things. Stop the eye contact session after a minute or two, or if either of the animals become overly energetic or nervous. The goal here is to instill calmness in their relationship. On another early visit, bring the cat into the room where your guinea pig is kept (but never into the guinea pig's actual enclosure). Double-check that your guinea pig is secure in their housing area and that the cat cannot reach them. Bring the cat into the room, in your own or another human's arms. Whichever human you have assisted you should already have a good relationship with each pet. Hold one of your pets and have another human hold the other one. Each human should pet the animal they're holding. If each pet remains calm, allow them to watch as the other animal is treated fondly by the other human. Decrease the physical distance between them incrementally. Move closer by a foot each time you have a petting session. Take a small amount of time each day to repeat this process. Talk to your guinea pig during these sessions so your cat becomes aware that they are a part of the family. Once the two humans holding the pets are close enough to touch the pet that the other human is holding, hold the distance. If you can sit next to one another with both animals remaining calm, you're at a good distance to start cross petting. Reach towards the other person and pet the animal that they're holding. Take turns petting the pet the other person is holding. This will show both the cat and the guinea pig that everyone is calm with everybody else. Reward calm, relaxed demeanors with treats and affection.

summary: Introduce your cats and guinea pigs early. Recognize that the peace process may not be without initial conflict. Start with a single, brief dose of eye contact. Turn the tables. Try some cross petting.

Pain is often the most noticeable symptom of joint disease. If you suffer from degenerative joint disease in your lower back, you may notice pain in any of the following areas: In the back In the buttock Radiating down the back of the leg Degenerative joint disease can affect the function of the joint, in addition to causing pain. If you have this condition, you may notice a number of changes in the way you are able to move your body. You may experience pain when moving, so sitting may be more comfortable than standing. You may not be able to bend or twist your spine the same way you used to. You may find that your body is very stiff and rigid, especially after you have rested. Your legs may feel weak, which can make moving more difficult. Degenerative joint disease sometimes causes noticeable changes in the appearance of the body, although the changes may be subtle. Pay close attention to your body and make note of any changes you observe. You may have visible swelling in the affected area. The normal curve of your spine may change or even disappear. Some people who have degenerative joint disease of the spine experience an audible cracking or crunching of the joints. If you hear these kinds of sounds, it may be caused by your bones rubbing against each other due to a lack of cartilage. Some people who suffer from degenerative joint disease experience muscle spasms. These may be uncomfortable and may force you to change your sitting position. There are a variety of different conditions that can cause symptoms like back pain, numbness and weakness. You may be able to rule out degenerative joint disease if you experience certain symptoms that are indicative of other conditions. If the skin around the affected area is red or feels hot, you are more likely suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. If you felt a popping sensation before you began experiencing pain, you are more likely suffering from sciatica. If you experienced trauma of any kind, you may have an acute injury to your spine, such as a fracture. While degenerative joint disease can happen to anyone, it is much more common in older individuals, as the body's cartilage tends to degrade over a long period of time. Joint degeneration is also much more common in individuals with a history of the following: Obesity Compromised immune system Malnutrition Congenital joint disorders Prolonged abuse of joints (from poor posture, sports, or work-related activities)

summary: Note the location of pain. Pay attention to your mobility. Look for changes in appearance. Listen for new sounds. Be aware of spasms. Know what symptoms may indicate a different condition. Understand the risk factors.

This is also called the "apex" of the rack. Make sure the 1-ball is at the apex, the 8-ball is in the middle of the rack, and both a stripe and solid are at the bottom corner, but line up all the other balls in random fashion. If solids and solids are together, or stripes and stripes, that's okay. One variant of this step in amateur play is to vary the edges of the rack so that the pattern is stripe, solid, stripe, solid, etc. This will result in the two corner balls being the same, i.e. either both stripe or both solid. Another variant of this step in amateur play is to order the balls down and from left to right, according to their number. This will always result in the 1-ball being at the apex, the 11 and 15 being at the bottom corners, and the 5-ball being in the 8's customary position. The center of the first ball should be in the middle of the table at one quarter of the length. Some tables have this spot marked with a small dot.
summary: Start off with the 1-ball at the front of the rack. Place all the other balls at random. Line the apex (the first ball) up with the middle diamond on the side of the pool table.
