@ inspection before finalizing the purchase of the property. @ Indeed, for any home you are considering buying which is not covered by the new home warranty, it is a good idea to have a house inspection. A house inspection done by a professional will acquaint you with all the structural and flmctwnal aspects of your home such as: Heating, wiring, plumbing, airâ€"conditioning, roof, windows, insulation, foundation, basement, et al. A professional inspector will thoroughly assess these and not only give you a detailed report on them but will point out the areas of concemn, estimating the costs involved (in today‘s dollars). Today, many professional inspectors include in their report the "Predictability" of the replaceables (Furnace, roof, wiring, plumbing etc.) Allowing you to plan for keeping your home "in shape" and ebmmaung most costly surprises. Recent buyers of mine acquired an older home (50â€"60 years old) in a very prestigious area. To all appearances, the house was updated and seemed to be in excellent shape. The home inspection revealed the plumbing on the second floor was due for replacement. The inspector advised not to use the upstairs bathroom until this was replaced or the consequences could be burst pipes over the dining room, which would entail not only mplaangtheplpesbutalsommllmg a new ceiling and perhaps replacing carpets, flooring and restoring furniture. These buyers loved the house and were most appreciative of this forecast. They went ahead with the purchase and because of the inspection are now prepared for the most likely outlays in maintaining their house. !- Take the advice of your parents and have the home @ There are many dazzling choices in colour, texture and shapes. There‘s plenty of choice but with the vast range @ â€" available today, where do you start? Here are a few points to focus on: FACE SHAPE: In general g}) for %mes round frames m’lltm square , frames suit round faces. faces can wear anything. Inaddai%to%youakohawto consider the length and width of your face and distance between your eyes. Glasses often provide a cunning bit of optical illusion: for example, strong colours in the outer corners of the frames, with lighter or flesh tones near the bridge, can deâ€"emphasize a wide nose. Oval or round frames â€" anything without sharp cornersâ€"detract attention from a square jaw. A modified version of the cat‘s eye suits a lot of faces, including the "inverted Triangle" shape. It also gives round faces more cheekbone emphasis. Colour, too, is often a mitigating factor. A gentle tint can soften a severe looking frame dramatically. If colour charts have been helpful in wardrobe selection, you may want to ring them alongfir additional input. In general, "winters" and "summers" should choose silvery blue based tones and stay away from gold frames. The opposite holds for "falls" and "springs". Glasses can be a great tool for projecting an image or changing it. What‘s more, if you‘re methodical about it, this isn‘t as expensive as you might think. Two or three pairs of glasses, carefully chosen, function much like standard items in a wardrobe. You simply add to the exz'.s'rz:‘iones which, incidentally, will be in far better shape than if they had been subjected to the wear and tear of constant use. You can add whimsical, casual, chic, evening glamour, etc. something that brings out a different aspect of yourpersonargz Your choice of glasses could also be seasonal: black and whites and bold reds for winter, rustic browns and oranges for fall.

It is also very important that you do not use anybody elses medications thinking that you have the same condition that they do. Medications are prescribed for a specific individual for a specific condition. If you have any questions about any of your medications, it would be our pleasure at Dorval Medical Pharmacy to speak with you. Feel free to call or stop down and see us. We are located on Morden Road north of Speers Rd., just west of Dorval Drive. e _ Our emotions do cause us to worry because we e _ continue to focus on the negative news. We ignore economic growth, even though slow. Reducing job losses. Increasing productivity profits in some sectors, due to better management worker cooperation increased value on jobs education, to mention a few. However, those who focus on the bad news do nothing seem to help those who ignore it invest. Remember the adage "the stock market climbs a wall of worry"? Well we do seem to have lots to worry about while we were worrying over the last year the TSE grew from 3400 to 3900. Just catching up. Remember the market is only an indicator. Sometime in the next month, year, or three years, the market will decline. We should expect it not fear it. If not we will again miss a possible increase like the TSE growing from 1346 in 1982 to 4113 in 1987, yes tripling in 5 years. It will not be repeated in the same pattern, but good businesses are designed to make profits, and profits create wealth, jobs happiness. It‘s as simple as that. So, you may prefer to continue to worry help our investment to continue growing over time. If you don‘t think you can beat the market, which most of us cannot, then invest in selected mutual funds and save yourself a lot of work and money. There are several economic sectors within Canada, and rapidly growing geographic areas around the world where we can invest and make money. A e With Pharmacy Awareness Week quickly e approaching, (November 1, through the 7th) we are reminded once again to check our medicine cabinets at home for expired medications. It is very important that we clean out and properly dispose of any medications that are not currently being used by somebody in our family. This is one area where we don‘t have to share. Is there any advice you can give me concerning medication J already have in my medicine cabinet? Is this a good time to invest? There seems to be so much to worry about!

There are nine tendons and one nerve â€" the median nerve, which pass through that tunnel. Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve is pinched or pressured. It is a common malady for people who work with their hands and perform repetitive tasks. In fact, CTS has become the number one on the job injury in the past few years, affecting millions of secretaries, assembly line workers, carpenters, even homemakers. Now, most people go to their M.D. when they start to get the symptoms mentioned earlier on. Their dgctor will try to relieve the pain by prescribing antiâ€"inflammatory drugs, applying ice, immobilizing the wrist with a splint or, if alf else fails ... surgery. However, not only cogid it take six months to ten years for recovery to take place, but in many instances the pain returns in less than a year. The limitations of traditional medical care for CTS led the late Robert Mendelsohn, M.D. to conclude that, "... medical lma:men:hfor this condition is so often unsatisfactory, I have for 'y:ars been recommending that my patients consult experts in muscle and joint therapy." Which brings me to why I, a chiropractor am writing this article. Chiropractic is by definition "... the science and art of correcting and removing interferences or disturbances in the body by manipulation and adjustment of the body structures, namely the spinal column." Authorities have demonstrated that there is a direct connection between arm and wrist pain and the nerves that emit from the neck area. Although no chiropractor can claim to "heal" CTS, they can tell you that a spine that is;,me from nerve pressure is in a better position to heal itself from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (or any other condition for that matter). Nerve pressure can be as the result of a car accident, fall down the stairs or a rougher than usual game of football at the park on a Sunday afternoon. You may not feel a thing, however if you don‘t get your spine checked by a chimpractor periodically, you may find yourself with Degenerative Disc Disease and/or Arthritis by the time you‘re 65 years of age. As a chiropractor, it is my job to correct and remove "pinched nerves" and help people reach their optimum health potential. Everyone takes their car in for an alignment, shouldn‘t your body get an alignment too? U + What is there to know about coffee? 1 A o Plenty! A good cup of coffee depends on many factors such as the water quality and the type of coffeemaker you use. The most important component of all is the coffee beans! The quality and the freshness of the coffee, how it is ground, measured and brewed will dramatically affect the final cup. In recent years there has been a steady decline in North American coffee consumption. The widespread use of instant coffees and poor quality supermarket blends, both lacking in flavour and aroma, certainly contribute to this trend. Yet the consumption of quality coffees, such as the intriguing blends and estate coffees offered at Second Cup, are increasing spectacularly while the consumption of commercial coffees continues to decrease. Consumers of tasteless, thin bodied instant or bitter "donut shop" coffees are in for a pleasant surprise when they taste their first cup of one of the world‘s truly great coffees. Remember, a cup of one of the world‘s premier coffees today costs less than the same amount of Pepsiâ€"Cola and is fifteen or twenty times cheaper than a wine of the same distinction.
