Problem: Article: You should seek medical attention immediately after a whiplash injury. A complicating factor is that the pain and disability of whiplash can take a day or even a week to fully manifest, but see your family physician soon after any major trauma to your head and neck in order to rule out life-threatening injuries (fractures, dislocations, internal bleeding). Your doctor will likely take an x-ray of your neck (cervical spine) to rule out obvious fractures or dislocations of the vertebrae or facet joints. If you're in severe pain and having difficulty holding your head up, then you may be given a foam neck support collar for short-term use. However, research has shown that wearing a stiff cervical collar for much more than a few days can cause neck muscles to atrophy (weaken) and prolong pain. Your family doctor is not a musculoskeletal specialist, so if your neck feels severely injured then you may need to see a specialist for a second opinion. A specialist such as an orthopedist may take more x-rays, an MRI or a CT scan of your neck / head to better understand and diagnose your whiplash injury. In addition to bone injuries, MRI can detect soft tissue injuries, such as spinal cord damage, herniated disks or torn ligaments. Before starting physical therapy your doctor(s) need to determine if your neck is structurally intact, physiologically stable and able to safely withstand stretching and exercising. Sharp or burning pain combined with grinding sounds with movements, shooting pains into your arms and severe dizziness are signs suggesting neck instability. Before you start to stretch and exercise your neck, you need to reduce the inflammation and pain. Your doctor may recommend non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen or naproxen for short-term use, although if your pain is severe, you might get a prescription for something stronger typically an opioid, such as oxycodone. Alternatively, you can try over-the-counter analgesics such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or muscle relaxants (such as cyclobenzaprine) for your neck pain, but never take them concurrently with NSAIDs. Keep in mind that these medications can be hard on your stomach, kidneys and liver, so it's best not to use them for more than 2 weeks at a stretch. The application of ice is an effective treatment for essentially all acute musculoskeletal injuries, including neck pain. Cold therapy should be applied to the most tender part of your neck for 15-20 minutes every 2-3 hours in order to reduce the swelling and pain. Always wrap ice or frozen gel packs in a thin towel in order to prevent frostbite on your skin.
Summary: See your family doctor. Make sure your neck is stable. Control the pain and inflammation.

Problem: Article: It's the series of curving lines in the far-right side of the task bar. You may first have to click the ^ to the left of the volume or battery icon to see the Wi-Fi option. On Windows 7, the Wi-Fi icon looks like a series of increasingly tall bars. If you set up the router with a specific name, it should appear here. If you didn't set up a specific name, you should see the router's brand (e.g., "Linksys") and model number. It's in the bottom-right side of the Wi-Fi network's name area. You'll do this in the text box below the "Enter the network's security key" heading. If you didn't add a password to your network when setting up the router, the password (called a "Security Key") is on the back or bottom of the router unit. As long as the password is correct, your Windows computer will be reconnected to the wireless network.
Summary: Click . Click your router's network name. Click Connect. Enter the network's password. Click Next.

Problem: Article: The inner section is closest to the center hole of the wreath and designated by the 2 innermost wires. Place your non-dominant hand underneath the burlap and press it upward through the inner section. Continue feeding it through by pulling it with your dominant hand until the loop extends about 2 to 3 inches (5.1 to 7.6cm) upward. Since there are 2 layers, this totals about 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15cm) of burlap. Use your first 4 fingers as a guide for loop size. If the loops are loose around your fingers, pull down on the burlap until it fits snugly over them. Increase loop size for a fluffier wreath and decrease it for a tighter wreath.
Summary: Press the first 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15cm) of the burlap through the inner section.

Problem: Article: Trees are rarely symmetrical, so one side always seems to have more growth than another. Because plants need sunlight to grow, the side that gets the most sunlight will usually appear heavier. In the Northern Hemisphere, the sun spends most its time in the southern part of the sky, so the denser side of the tree will usually be facing south. In the Southern Hemisphere, the heavier portion of the tree usually points north. In order to accurately decide which side of the tree is the heaviest, you should walk all the way around it a few times. If you only look at one or two sides, you may not be able to tell where the tree is most dense. It's easiest to use this method with lone trees in an open field. In a wooded area, trees compete for sunlight, so it's not as obvious which direction they're growing in. In many cases, moss tends to grow on the side of the trees that is most shaded. In the Northern Hemisphere, that means you would usually find moss on the side of the tree that points north. In the Southern Hemisphere, you would typically find moss on the side of the tree that points south. It's important to keep in mind that other factors can create shady conditions that would encourage moss to grow on a certain side of a tree. Trees that are shaded by other trees in a wooded area and trees that grow on slopes may throw off your direction. This cactus, which is native to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, grows slanted toward the south. That's because the northern side of the plant is mostly shielded from the sun, so it grows more quickly. If you spot a giant barrel cactus, you'll know the direction that it's growing toward is south, so the opposite direction is north. The giant barrel cactus typically grows between 3- and 9-feet, and features spines in a variety of colors, including red, tan, and yellow. Older cacti often produce bright orange or yellow flowers.
Summary:
Evaluate the trees for their heaviest side. Look for moss on trees. Look for the giant barrel cactus in the desert.
