It is important to warm up prior to exercise and cool down after. The main two reasons for this are to improve performance and to decrease the risk of injury. A good warm up will increase the temperature of muscles which work better at a temperature of 40 degrees.
Blood flow and oxygen to muscles will be increased as will the speed of nerve impulses, making you faster. There will also be an icreased range of motion at joints reducing the risk of tearing muscles and ligaments.
A warm up should consist of:
The warm up should last between 15 and 30 minutes. Do not warm up too early. The benefits are lost after about 30 minutes of inactivity. Every coach and athlete will have their own method of warming up but basic elements should be included:
- A pulse raiser to circulate blood and oxygen supplying the muscles with more energy to work with.
- Stretching to increase the range of motion at joints.
- Sports specific exercises and drills to prepare for the specific demands on the sport.
Pulse raiser
The pulse raiser is the first part of a warm-up and can be any activity which can be used to gradually increase the heart rate. Jogging is a good example because it requires no equipment at all and can begin at a very slow speed and gradually increase. Other good choices are cycling and skipping. Do bear in mind that it is always a good idea to perform a warm-up which is most similar in terms of movement patterns to the sport you are preparing for.
Stretches are an important part of any warm-up programme. They should be performed after the pulse raiser as by then the muscles are warmer and so more elastic, reducing the likelihood of injury.
There is debate surrounding the best method of stretching, but the general consensus now is that dynamic stretching (sometimes called active stretching) is most appropriate. This involves moving the muscle through its range, gradually increasing this each time in order to stretch the muscle. There are many exercises which can be used to stretch all of the muscle groups and again these can be sports specific. Click the pictures on the right for some examples.
Static stretches can also be used in order to stretch specific problem muscles. This is a very personal thing and may be dictated by past or current injuries and again the sport in question. Static stretches should be performed after dynamic ones as the muscle should be thoroughly warm by now!
Take the muscle to the point when you can feel a stretching sensation in the muscle belly. Hold this position for 20-30 seconds. If the stretching sensation fades in this time, move a little further into the stretch until you can feel it again. After 20-30 seconds, relax the muscle and then repeat, trying to move the joint further into its range. Again hold for 20-30 seconds.
Common areas of tightness in most sports players include the calf muscles (stretch gastrocnemius/stretch soleus), hamstrings (standing stretch/sitting stretch), quads (standing stretch/laying stretch) and groin (long adductors/short adductors).
See stretching exercises for specific stretches.
Sports specific drills
It is important to rehearse common movement patterns and skills which will be used in the match/competition. This will not only help to improve performance through ensuring the muscles are prepared for the task in hand, but will also help to improve co-ordination, reaction times and accuracy.
Examples of sports specific exercises include:
- Dribbling drills (soccer/hockey etc)
- Passing drills (soccer/hockey/netball/basketball)
- Shooting drills (soccer/hockey/netball/basketball)
- Cutting maneuvers (All team sports)
- Hitting practice (cricket/tennis/baseball etc)
- Throwing drills (netball/basketball/cricket/baseball)
- Serve/bowling practice (tennis/cricket/baseball)
Cooling down
This is also often overlooked in favour of a drink in the bar but can help avoid injuries and boost performance. The aim of the cool down is to:
- Gradually lower heart rate.
- Circulate blood and oxygen to muscles, restoring them to the condition they were in before exercise.
- Reduce the risk of blood pooling by maintaining muscle action and heart rate to pump blood back to the heart.
- Remove waste products such as lactic acid.
- Reduce the risk of muscle soreness.
The cool down should consist of a gentle jog, decreasing in speed down to a walk followed by light static stretching. Remember to stretch all muscle groups used in the sport. Upper body muscles especially are often forgotten is sports such as football, soccer and rugby.
Sports massage
Sports massage can be used as part of either a warm-up or a cool down. During a warm-up a short massage can help to warm and stretch the muscles and get the blood pumping, ready for exercise. It can also help to prepare you mentally.
A post-exercise massage helps to remove waste products such as lactic acid which build up during exercise, and prevent blood pooling. It will aso help stretch the muscles and return them to their pre-exercise state!

Dennis the Menace
This is my "Dennis the Menace" jumper,
I was sent it by the lovely people at AX Paris. It is truly one of the most
cozy knits I have ever owned, its brilliant for throwing on when its absolutely
freezing In my uni room.
I teamed it with a little pair of
lace shorts from H and M that were £6 in the sale; my JC tardy's with little
black lace ankle socks and a Forever 21 beanie. This outfit to me is a very subtle nod to 90's grunge.
The floral cross necklace is from
Mango and the rings are from many random places. The little fingernail ring is
from EBay.
Posting has been really hard at
the moment because I have my portfolio deadline on Friday! Its driving me crazy
but I'm sure I will get it all finished and printed on time J

This is a typical big Holiday Inn, efficient, clean, polite and helpful staff, business based and generally OK.
It is not a hotel for those wishing to take a vacation in Sao Paulo however. It is located well away from the centre of the city and has nothing around it for some distance except exhibition centres, the old airport and the Samba-parade ground. Opposite is a 12 lane motorway!
The staff were very helpful when we showed up at 5.30am but were not booked in until the afternoon. They found us both a room within minutes. later they gave good advice on where to go and also where to eat. The "business centre" also helped by booking us a private tour of Sao Paulo on our one free day.
The food for breakfast is pretty good with a wide selection catering for all tastes. Breakfast can get busy at times as this a big hotel with a lot of guests. We never ate dinner there so cannot comment. We dis however make a meal in the bar with steak sandwiches and beer and these were very OK. Prices are on the high side for Brasil. Much cheaper to eat elsewhere and get very good food and service.
My only real complaint was the dirty net curtains in my room. It was a smoking room but they clearly had not been washed for a long time and had taken on a filthy yellow to grey colour. (I know, I know, I should not smoke!)
If you are in Sao Paulo for exhibitions then these are all nearby, some within 5 minutes walk.
It is right next to the Samba-Parade ground. This is used at certain times for the carnival but more often for rock and other concerts. It can be noisy with the dull bass beat self evident. It wasn't awful, but if you demand silence to go to sleep then look elsewhere (though I can't say where as the only other big hotel (Novotel) was next to a really busy road junction.)
A good business type hotel.

Router, at times, planer-jointer although haven't done much of that yet. The other machines do not cause enough noise to be dangerous in my estimation.

Axonal sensory peripheral neuropathy is the major dose-limiting side effect of paclitaxel.Omega-3 fatty acids have beneficial effects on neurological disorders from their effects on neurons cells and inhibition of the formation of proinflammatory cytokines involved in peripheral neuropathy.
This study was a randomized double blind placebo controlled trial to investigate the efficacy of omega-3 fatty acids in reducing incidence and severity of paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy (PIPN). Eligible patients with breast cancer randomly assigned to take omega-3 fatty acid pearls, 640mgt.i.d during chemotherapy with paclitaxel and one month after the end of the treatment or placebo. Clinical and electrophysiological studies were performed before the onset of chemotherapy and one month after cessation of therapy to evaluate PIPN based on "reduced Total Neuropathy Score".
Twenty one patients (70%) of the group taking omega-3 fatty acid supplement (n = 30) did not develop PN while it was 40.7%( 11 patients) in the placebo group(n = 27). A significant difference was seen in PN incidence (OR = 0.3, .95% CI = (0.10-0.88), p = 0.029). There was a non-significant trend for differences of PIPN severity between the two study groups but the frequencies of PN in all scoring categories were higher in the placebo group (0.95% CI = (−2.06 -0.02), p = 0.054).
Omega-3 fatty acids may be an efficient neuroprotective agent for prophylaxis against PIPN. Patients with breast cancer have a longer disease free survival rate with the aid of therapeutical agents. Finding a way to solve the disabling effects of PIPN would significantly improve the patients' quality of life.
This trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT01049295)
Paclitaxel is one of the taxane-derived chemotherapeutic agents used for treatment of solid tumors including those of the breast, ovary, lung, and Kaposi's sarcoma. It was originated from the Pacific yew Taxus brevifolia. Paclitaxel is an antimicrotubular agent that polymerizes tubulin, resulting in formation of stabilized disordered microtubules without dynamic instability that holds up cell division [1,2].
Paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy (PIPN) is the major dose-limiting side effect of paclitaxel [2]. The precise pathology of PIPN is not fully understood. Paclitaxel induces an axonal sensory peripheral neuropathy (PN) as a result of aggregation of microtubules in axons and Schwann cells. It may also cause fiber demyelination in some severs cases [1].
Signs of paclitaxel neurotoxicity usually take three weeks to appear, mainly affecting the sensory, rather than motor or autonomic nervous systems. The most common symptoms of PIPN include numbness, tingling, paresthesias, and a burning pain in a stocking-glove distribution. The onset of symptoms is often in hands and feet simultaneously, and some patients complain of facial discomfort [3,4].
Omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid ( EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are polyunsaturated fatty acids(PUFAs) incorporated into the phospholipid membrane of cells including those of the central and peripheral nervous systems [5]. They have many beneficial effects in some psychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases. They determine the biophysical properties of neuronal membranes and regulate signal transduction by their effect on ion channels and receptor functions [6]. Moreover, the production of proinflammatory cytokines which induce neuropathy is attenuated by EPA and DHA, in particular DHA [5,6]. DHA-induced myelinogenesis has been reported in the previous studies [7].
Most adverse effects associated with chemotherapy are ameliorated after cessation of the therapy, but PN maybe partly reversible or even irreversible in some patients and as such can significantly decrease the patients' quality of life. Taken together, we designed a randomized placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the possible effect of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation on PIPN in patients with breast cancer. To our knowledge, there have been no previous studies done to demonstrate the possible effects of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation on PIPN.
This study was a randomized double blind placebo-controlled trial. Subjects were recruited for the study from April, 2010 to October 2011 from Sheiqorrais University Clinic. The study protocol was approved by the ethical committee of Tehran University of Medical Sciences (No: 9683). Figure Figure11 shows a summary of the study design.
Eighty patients were enrolled in the study .Eleven patients were excluded before randomization, 6 patients did not meet the inclusion criteria and 5 patients declined to participate. Therefore, 69 patients were randomly allocated to receive omega-3 fatty acids (n = 35) or placebo (n = 34). Four patients discontinued the study due to a critical health conditions and 8 patients were unwilling to continue after the first cycle of therapy (lost to follow up, n = 12). So 57 female patients completed the study (Figure (Figure1).1). Inclusion criteria were: being female, age between 30 to 70years, treatment with 4 courses of 175mg/m2 paclitaxel for a positive node breast cancer, satisfactory kidney and liver function, and WHO performance scores of 0 to 1. All factors which predisposed patients to PN including a medical history of prior chemotherapy treatment, pre-existing peripheral neuropathy due to diabetes mellitus, HIV, alcohol abuse, thyroid dysfunction and hereditary PN associated disorders, and taking any form of nutritional supplement (fish oil, vitamins and minerals) at least three months before enrollment were exclusion criteria. Written informed consent was obtained from all the patients before any intervention.
Eligible enrolled patients were randomly assigned to receive omega-3 fatty acid oral supplements as soft gelatin capsules (Mor DHA Mini I.Q. Minami Nutrition NV, Drie Eikenstraat 661,2650 Edegem, Belgium) at a dose of 640mg (54% DHA, 10% EPA) three times a day during chemotherapy with paclitaxel and one month after the end of therapy or placebo of Sun flower soft gelatin capsules, (Dana Pharma, Tabriz, Iran) that were similar in appearance to omega-3 fatty acid soft gelatin capsules and similarly administered. All patients treated with paclitaxel (Ebetaxel®,Ebewe Pharmaceutical Company, Austria), at a dose of 175mg/m² given over a 3-hour infusion every three weeks for 4cycles.
The randomization plan was based on a permuted block randomization. Sealed closed envelopes containing random codes (A or B) were used to assign subjects to either the intervention group or the control group. The allocation of patients was only known to the randomization coordinator of the study.
All the study patients were evaluated both pre-chemotherapy and one month after the end of chemotherapy by the same neurologist who carried out both clinical examination and electrophysiologic studies and the patients'allocation to study groups was concealed to him. Reduced Total Neuropathy Score (rTNS) was used to evaluate the existence and severity of PIPN in patients as the primary outcome measures. rTNS consists of subjective sensory symptoms, pin sensibility, deep tendon reflexes, and nerve conduction studies of sural and peroneal nerves, ranging from 0–28 points. Any changes in parameters under evaluation in the tests were given a score from 0 to 4 (depending on the measured severity). By adding these seven scores together an "rTNS" score from 0 to 28 was obtained for each patient. The severity of PIPN then was graded as follows: mild (total score 1–10), moderate (total score 11-19); and severe (total score 20–28). rTNS can be easily applied in clinical settings [8]. rTNS included all the TNS items except those for motor symptoms, autonomic symptoms, and quantitative sensory testing of the vibration threshold [8]. These three items were excluded based on the following: 1) probability of occurrences with paclitaxel chemotherapy [3,4,9], and 2) the availability of the necessary device for the examination.
Nerve conduction studies were conducted unilaterally (right side), using a Nicolet/ VIASYS Viking Quest EMG Machine based on standard methods [10]. Distal motor latency (DML), peak to baseline amplitude of compound muscle action potential (a-CMAP), and motor conduction velocity were measured for tibial, peroneal, and ulnar nerves as the motor conduction assessment. Sensory nerve conduction of sural and ulnar nerves was evaluated with peak-to-peak amplitude measurement of sensory action potentials (a-SAP) and sensory conduction velocity (antidromic technique).
Concentrations of EPA and DHA in serum phospholipids were measured by gas liquid chromatography using the method described by Noori M and his colleagues [11].
Data were summarized using mean (SD) and frequency (percent) for quantitative and qualitative variables respectively. Analysis of covariance was used to determine the differences of nerve conduction measurements and the serum phospholipids concentrations of omega-3 fatty acids between the two study groups, adjusting baseline measurements. To investigate the difference of PN incidence between the omega-3 supplemented group and the control group, logistic regression performed to estimate the odds ratio. Ordinal regression analysis was used to compare the severity of PN between the two study groups. All tests were two-sided and significance level was set at 0.05. Statistical power of the study was considered as 80% [12]. Analysis was done using spss software, (spss Inc., Chicago, IL).
Sample size was determined based on primary information obtained from the study by Okuda et. al [13] for vibratory perception threshold(VPT): By considering α = 0.05 and a power of 80%, the sample size was computed as 23.24 (≈24) per group [12]. This number was increased to 28 per group to accommodate the anticipated 20% dropout rate, although more patients were enrolled.
Fifty seven female breast cancer patients were randomly assigned to either the omega-3 supplemented group (n = 30) or the placebo group (n = 27). From now on we pointed out the omega-3 supplemented group as group I and the placebo group as group II. The mean age of group I was 46.19 ± 9.76 and it was 45.70 ± 12.00 for group II. There was no statistical significant difference between the two groups according to age (P = 0.86). The means of body mass index (BMI) for the omega-3 supplemented group and the control group were 45.99 ± 9.01 and 44.14 ± 8.89 respectively, without statistical differences (p = 0.43). All the patients treated with 4 courses of 175mg/m2 paclitaxel for a positive node breast cancer. They all had a satisfactory kidney and liver function, and WHO performance scores of 0 to 1.
The "reduced Total Neuropathy Score (rTNS)" of the 30 patients in group I was as follows: 21 patients (70%) did not develop PN and 9 patients (30%) manifested some grade of neurotoxicity: Four patients (13.3%) developed mild PN; five patients (16.7%) developed moderate PN and sever PN was not observed in this group of study subjects (Table (Table11).
In group II, PN was not revealed in 11 patients (40.7%), while 10 patients (37%) developed mild PN and 5 patients (18.5%) developed moderate PN. Also, severe neuropathy was seen in one patient (3.7%) (Table (Table1).1). A significant difference was observed between the omega-3 supplemented group and the placebo group in PN incidence (OR = 0.3, .95% CI = (0.10-0.88), p = 0.029). So group I had 70% lower risk of PN incidence. The number needed to treat (NNT) to prevent one PN event was 3. In addition, there were not statistically significant differences in severity of PN between these two groups (B = −1.02, .95% CI = (−2.06 - 0.02), p = 0.054).
Using analysis of covariance adjusting baseline measurements to determine the differences of quantitative values between two study groups, a significant difference of sural a-SAP was observed between the omega-3 supplemented group and the control (p = 0.015) with a sharp decrease of sural a-SAP in the placebo group. The other differences of NCS parameters did not reach statistical significance (Table (Table22 and and3).3).
Serum phospholipid concentrations of EPA and DHA were significantly different between the omega-3 supplemented group and the placebo group (P = 0.005 and P = 0.001 respectively): in the omega-3 supplemented group, EPA concentrations increased from 0.53±0.32 at the baseline to 0.61±0.37 at the end of the intervention and DHA concentrations changed from 0.64±48 at the baseline to 1.05±0.79 after the cessation of supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids. In the placebo group, measured changes were 0.63±0.39 to 0.59±0.41 for EPA and 0.71±0.54 to 0.63±0.33 for DHA serum levels, respectively. No statistically significant differences were observed between the two study groups in incidence and severity of the PIPN according to the changes of serum DHA and EPA levels.
Cumulative neurotoxicity along with axonal disorders are common in PIPN [3]. The cellular microtubules of malignant cells and axons of peripheral nerves are the targets of paclitaxel and it inhibits tubulin depolymerization [4]. It was estimated that 60%-70% of patients who received this chemotherapeutic agent developed dose-dependent neurotoxicity [4,14].
The aim of the current double-blind placebo-controlled trial was to trace the efficacy of omega-3 fatty acids (mainly DHA), in prophylaxis against paclitaxel induced neurotoxicity. To do this, eligible patients with node positive breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy with paclitaxel were randomly assigned to take oral supplements of omega-3 fatty acids or a placebo during the course of their therapy cycles and one month after the end of chemotherapy.
There was a significant difference in PIPN incidence between the two study groups so that 70% of patients taking omega-3 fatty acid supplements did not develop PN while incidence was 40.7% in the placebo group. It seems that omega-3 fatty acids, in particular DHA, had neuroprotective effects and that they decreased the paclitaxel-associated neurotoxicity considerably. Our results are in accordance with previous studies that have investigated the efficacy of these fatty acids in diabetic neuropathy. They showed that omega-3 fatty acids could attenuate the severity of neuropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus [13,15]. They also prevented the lowering of nerve conduction velocity in the sciatic nerve of diabetic rats by improving the activity of Na+/K+ATPase [16]. There was a considerable trend that did not reach significance for the differences of PIPN severity between group I and II, while the frequencies of PN were higher in the placebo group almost in all scoring categories (Table (Table1)1) and severe neuropathy was not seen in the omega-3 supplemented group.
Neurophysiologic studies improve the accuracy and precision of peripheral neuropathy evaluation and help to identify patients at risk of peripheral neuropathy even before the onset of clinical symptoms [4,17]. rTNS is a composite scale used to assess the incidence and severity of PIPN that can be easily used in the research and clinical centers [8]. Generally, rTNS is well correlated with the oncologic toxicity scales including National Cancer Institute- Common Toxicity Criteria (NCI-CTS), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG), Ajani, and the extended TNS version with these additional parameters: motor symptoms, autonomic symptoms and quantitative sensory testing (QST) [8].
PIPN is associated with a decrease of a-SAP without significant changes of nerve conduction velocity as it was seen in this study and these changes are indicators of axonal dysfunction rather than myelin disorders [4]. In the current study, a considerable difference was observed in sural nerve a-SAP between the two groups with a sharp decrease in the placebo group. Argyriou et al. [18], evaluated the role of clinical and NCS measurements to predict the outcomes of CIPN. They found that only the decrease of the sural a-SAP was associated with the worse neurological outcomes. Our results showed that omega-3 fatty acids prevented the significant decrease of sural nerve a-SAP in group I that it may be related to their ability of PIPN reduction in this group.
Previous studies have shown that there are no known pharmacologic agents to prevent or to cure PN in cancer patients. In recent years, the efficacy of some vitamins and minerals, amino acids, cytokines, carnitines, antidepressants and anticonvulsants have been tested [19]. Vitamin E, acetyl-L carnitine, and glutamine are among the oral supplements which have been studied to prevent or attenuate PIPN, but they were not evaluated in large randomized placebo-controlled trials or they had little success in this regard [19]. An ideal neuroprotective agent for prophylaxis against PIPC should be safe for the patients without reducing the efficacy of the therapy, DHA may be the answer.
Growing evidences have demonstrated the positive influences of omega-3 fatty acids in the prevention of a wide range of psychiatric, arrhythmic, and neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, major depression. schizophrenia and dementia. Omega-3 fatty acids are a branch of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, originated from marine and plant sources. By incorporating into the neuronal cell membrane phospholipids, they influence critical membrane-associated functions like signal transduction, ion channel dependent transportations (via voltage-dependent sodium channels and L-type calcium channels), receptors physiological properties, and neurotransmission [6,20]. In addition to their direct effect on neuropathic pain, omega-3 fatty acids inhibit the production of proinflammatory cytokines associated with neuropathic pain (i.e., IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α) [5], and the role of DHA in myelogenesis has been documented in the previous studies [6,7,20]. Lauretania F et.al, have shown that DHA was an effective agent that improved axonal degeneration in the patients [20]. In another study accomplished by Ward R et.al, DHA had a significant neuroprotective role in the axonal damage due to spinal cord injury [21]. With respect to DHA, it was conjugated with paclitaxel to form DHA-paclitaxel, a taxane-fatty acid conjugate with intratumoral activation. DHA-paclitaxel was more efficient treating cancer and caused significantly less toxicity over existing paclitaxel [22]. In addition, neurotoxicity may be prevented by cox-2 inhibition [23] and omega-3 fatty acids inhibit the generation of cox-2 mRNA [24].
US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recommended that a total maximum dose of 3 grams per day of DHA and EPA omega-3 fatty acids can be safely consumed [25]. In this study, the total dose of omega-3 fatty acids administered was 1244.1mg per day (640mg: 54% DHA, 10% EPA, three times a day) which was far below the maximum daily allowance of omega-3 fatty acids consumption for more caution. Although in a number of placebo-controlled prospective trials no considerable adverse effects were reported of omega-3 fatty acids, to prevent patients from experiencing nausea and gastrointestinal disturbances, they were advised to take fish oil pearls with meals and to keep them in a freezer [25]. There was a dramatic increase of serum concentrations of EPA & DHA in the group taking omega-3 fatty acid supplements and a significant difference was observed between two the study groups in terms of this issue, which could be an indicator of participant compliance.
Although the survival rate of breast cancer patients improved by significant advances in treatment strategies, disabling and dose-limiting peripheral neuropathy due to chemotherapy with paclitaxel decreases the patients' quality of life and sometimes forces the oncologist to change or even end the treatment [18]. No standard therapeutic agent exists for the prevention or treatment of chemotherapy-induced neuropathy [19]. Thus, finding a novel neuroprotective agent seems to be critical. Omega-3 fatty acids were efficient for prophylaxis against PIPN in this study. According to our knowledge, this is the first time that the efficacy of omega-3 fatty acids has been assessed for their ability to reduce incidence and severity of PIPN.
There were some limitations in the design of this double-blind placebo-controlled randomized trial. The lack of long term follow up of outcomes measured was a potential limitation of the study. In addition, Sun flower soft gelatin capsules used as placebo had no fishy taste, and the psychological status of the patients was not evaluated in this study although it may has been affected by omega-3 fatty acids. Relatively small sample size was another possible limitation of the current trial.
Polymorphisms of corresponding cytochrome P-450 enzymes could influence the paclitaxel clearance and drug-related side effects [17]. Therefore, genotyping could help to identify those cancer patients who are at risk of developing neurotoxicity so that they may be advised to take neuroprotectant supplements before the onset of painful and disabling PIPN. The effectiveness of omega-3 fatty acids supplementation for neuroprotection of patients with breast cancer treated with paclitaxel is supported by results from the present study. Another double-blind placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial with larger sample size is needed to confirm these findings.

According to Breitbart News, Julianne Moore, Jennifer Aniston, and Amy Schumer were among a group of Hollywood celebrities who joined President Obama in a post-San Bernardino gun control video ad produced by Everytown for Gun Safety.
The three actresses were joined by other celebrities–including Kevin Bacon, Michael J. Fox, Sofia Vergara, Sarah Silverman, Ty Burrell, and Nick Offerman–each of whom take turns looking into the camera to say, "We can end gun violence." No one explains how to end it, but they take turns saying the words and, at times, repeat the sentence over and over together.
Obama takes time to say, "When we come together, Americans can do anything."

I hope you liked my review and I hope that you like Ya Qin An stamping polishes too :-)
I will give my best to try to update this post with new manicures made with Ya Qin An stamping polishes that will be published in future :-)
Bas sam ih juce gledala na BPS-u. Sad znam da su dobri pa cu ih uzeti u obzir. ;) Sjajni su ti manikiri a posebno mi se dopadaju drugi i osmi. ;)
ReplyDeleteMy love,
You are me sampnling guru :) Each and every one of decoratipns you showed is lovely and unique. I love them all ♥
You know that I love your nail stamping.I often take a peek at your page to see if there's anything new... In my country there are no stamping polishes available except for a black no-brand one (I use thicker regular polishes for stamping, but that's not the real thing) I especially like the way your golden polish works. I'm only afraid of the polish bottle getting broken during transportation. What is your experience, since I intend to try to order at leas two of them?
ReplyDeleteThank you! :-)
In my country maybe there are some stamping polishes, but surely not in my town, maybe some other italian bloggers who live in big towns have some shops where they can find also stamping polishes...
Of course, for stamping you can use also normal polishes, the famous "one coaters", maybe also you in your collection already have some of those polishes, you just have to discover them :-)
I started stamping one year ago and, as I was not so good in stamping, I decided to try with real stamping polishes, I thought I would get better results. And, I was right :-) I can tell you that Ya Qin An polishes work very good, Born Pretty Store has very convenient prices (and these bottles are 18ml so for stamping polish it is a huge bottle and will last long) and they have free shipping which is perfect; as it comes to transportation, my experience is extremely positive, I never got anything broken, they protect each bottle with more layers of some kind of very good protection, so the bottles don't touch other bottles and they are protected also from external damages, I think you don't have to worry about that :-)
They look really great! I would really like to try the golden one, because most golden polishes are too yellowish to use. This one's getting defenitely on my wishlist!
I read and appreciate every single comment, but I don't like spamming or link dropping. Please do not link your blog: I always check from your profile! If you want me to read a post of yours or visit your website send me an email (see the contact tab above). Thank you :-)

Dealing with disputes effectively is indisputably a core skill for any manager.
This is an editorial on real time updates on where we stand on significant policy initiatives affecting the cross border mediation process and what both the ADR and business community should be briefed on.
Trust is a crucial factor in development of business; mediation can help in business development by re-sprouting the trust between the affected parties.
Two medical-testing firms have a $5.8 billion deal ready to go yet there are serious legal, risk and ethical issues in the way. The firms have agreed to mediation, which is an encouraging sign of progress in corporate business.
The International Mediation Institute (IMI) has just released its 2016 International Mediation and ADR Survey. The results, which were generated by 815 individuals representing 67 countries and varied stakeholders (users, advisors, mediators, educators, students, providers, governments), are seriously thought provoking.
Days after June's UK Brexit Referendum, US Secretary of State John Kerry advised: 'It is absolutely essential that we stay focused on how, in this transitional period, nobody loses their head, nobody goes off half-cocked, people don't start ginning up scatterbrained or revengeful premises.'
Although they have distinctive practices that differ in purpose, goals, and approach, workplace investigators and mediators share certain common objectives.
Imagine two parties locked in a bitter and acrimonious dispute that has gone through six years of hotly contested litigation. At issue are the ownership and control of at least a dozen commercial and residential properties valued in the tens of millions of dollars.
The author is hopeful that mediators, participants, and attorneys will re-examine the trend of late intervention, lawyer-centric mediation and bring pro-active, early mediation back as one of the important focuses of the mediation field.
In December 2015, a FINRA Dispute Resolution Task Force issued its Final Report and Recommendations for improvements to the administration of its forum and its ADR processes.
This is the complete interview by Robert Benjamin with Randy Lowry, President of Lipscomb University and founder of the Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution at Pepperdine, filmed as part of Mediate.com's 'Views from the Eye of the Storm' Video Series.
It's that time of year again! Mediation Awareness Week is about to kick off in Ireland, the UK and many other countries around the world.
I recently had a chance to talk with Lainey Feingold, the author of a great new book on negotiation, which she describes below.
This is the complete interview by Robert Benjamin with David Hoffman, founder of The Boston Collaborative and former President of the ABA Dispute Resolution Section, filmed as part of Mediate.com's 'Views from the Eye of the Storm' Video Series.
A group of very prominent stakeholders on commercial dispute resolution met at Cardozo Law School on September 12, 2016, to conduct the New York City session of the Global Pound Conference.
By now I've attended or participated in quite a few task forces, speeches, conference panels and other occasions in which the issue of class action waivers in consumer arbitration clauses has been discussed.
Think about the last time that someone asked us how things were going? We probably responded with, "pretty good, you know…keeping pretty busy!"
Commerce is a relationship activity – it makes no sense if mediators fail to address relationship in resolving commercial disputes.
During the past year, there have been two interesting developments regarding mediation confidentiality.
Ms. Sussman discusses her recently conducted survey regarding the preferences and decision-making of 401 domestic and international arbitrators.
When disagreements at work are unresolved, one of the unfortunate outcomes can be long lasting workplace feuds.
The ABA Business Law Section has about 50 substantive committees, many of which include subcommittees addressing dispute resolution in their field. In the past several months, many members of these various entities undertook a collaborative effort to "cut across the solos."
The communication problems that happen in the mediation session might be symptoms of the conflict.
It's that time. You've just returned to your office from a case management conference.
This is the complete interview by Robert Benjamin with well-known Seattle Mediator Terry Wakeen filmed as part of Mediate.com's 'Views from the Eye of the Storm' Series.

Opinions expressed here are the author's alone, and have not been reviewed, approved or endorsed by our partners. Here's our Advertiser Disclosure.
Don't forget to follow me on Facebook or Twitter!
Before I started blogging, Emily Jablon didn't know much about miles and points. She knew that I loved collecting miles and points and applying for credit cards because she'd get emails approving her for yet another credit card.
She liked the benefits of miles and points, but didn't go out of her way to collect them herself.
But is that changing?
On our way to Huntington Beach for the long weekend, we stopped to share a quesadilla at the Kansas City airport.
Emily Jablon suddenly exclaimed "Oh No!"
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"They are paying the bill with cash and missing out on the miles and points or cash back." said Emily glancing at a nearby table.
At the Hyatt Regency resort in Huntington Beach, I asked Emily to help select my Hyatt Diamond amenity. For our weekend Hyatt stay, the Diamond amenity was 1,000 Hyatt points or a food and beverage amenity.
I usually get the points when I'm traveling alone, but since this was a romantic getaway with Emily, I asked her to help me select the amenity. The points would go into my account, but we would savor the free food and beverage amenity in our suite.
The beverage choices included, wine, beer, soft drinks, and juice and the food choices included dried fruits, a cheese platter, fresh fruits, nuts, blueberry bark and chocolate truffles.
"I don't want anything." said Emily. "Take the points!"
"Take the points?" Last year Emily would have surely chosen the food and beverage amenity, but after proofreading my blog posts and attending the Chicago conference and Frequent Traveler University she says "Take the points!"
But I convinced her otherwise and we got a bottle of wine (which we brought back with us, since we wouldn't have been able to finish it) and dried fruits and blueberry bark.
Bottom Line: It is easy to get addicted to collecting miles and points and thinking that everyone should collect them. After all, who doesn't want Big Travel with Small Money?
But different strokes for different folks, and don't let earning miles and points come in the way of enjoying the little things in life.

Clitoral Release
Clitoral release is a gender-affirming, masculinizing, lower surgery to cut ligaments around the clitoris*clitoris* (with an asterisk) is used to acknowledge the many different words that are used for this body part., releasing it from the pubis*pubis* (with an asterisk) is used to acknowledge the many different words that are used for this body part., giving the shaft more length, thus creating a penis.
What is the procedure for clitoral release?
Surgical techniques vary from surgeon to surgeon. This is the procedure common at GRS Montreal:
Being on testosterone creates an enlarged clitoris*.
The ligament holding the clitoris* in place under the pubic bone is cut.
Some of the surrounding tissue is cut, releasing the clitoris*/creating a phallus.
Fat may be removed from the pubis* and skin may be pulled upward to bring your phallus forward.
The labia majora*labia majora* (with an asterisk) is used to acknowledge the many different words that are used for this body part. can be shaped into a scrotum.
Testicular implants can be put inside your scrotum 6 months later.
How long will my hospital stay be?
You will be admitted to the recovery residence in Montreal 1 day before your surgery. You'll probably spend 1 night in hospital and then 2 nights back in the recovery residence.
What medications will I be prescribed after surgery?
You will likely receive painkillers and antibiotics to prevent infection. Your surgeon will provide you with a list of medications to avoid around the time of your surgery.
What should I expect during the healing process?
Some bleeding
Swelling of the genital region
Bruising in your genital region
Itching and occasional small shooting electrical sensations as nerve endings heal
Small scars on your genitals that will disappear over time
What check-ups will be needed after my surgery?
The number of check-ups needed varies from person to person. If possible, see your primary care provider about a week after you return from Montreal and then every 2-4 weeks for the first few months. When you visit your surgeon or primary care provider, they should check your surgical sites to make sure there are no infections or wound healing problems. They will ask questions about pain, bleeding, urination, bowel movements, fever, and how you are feeling physically and emotionally.
How long will it take for me to get back to my usual activities?
Recovery time varies from person to person, so always follow the advice of your surgeon. You'll be on bed rest for at least 24 hours following surgery and need plenty of rest in the first week. Over the three weeks following surgery, you will gradually resume your usual activities. Some activities, such as driving, heavy lifting, exercise, sex, and soaking in hot tubs, may be restricted in the post-operative period. Your surgeon will give you advice about when it is okay to resume these activities.
What complications are associated with clitoral release?
All surgical procedures involve some risks, including negative reactions to anesthesia, blood loss, blood clots and artery blockages. These complications can, in extreme cases, result in death. It's important to discuss these risks in detail with your surgeon. Your surgical care team will take a wide variety of steps to prevent these problems, detect them if they arise, and respond to them appropriately. They will also inform you about what you can do to minimize your risks.
The list below includes some of the complications associated with clitoral release in particular. It does not replace a thorough consultation with your surgeon.
This is when blood collects in the surgical site, causing pain, swelling and redness. May require removal through surgery.
Abscess formation
An abscess is a collection of pus. It's caused by a bacterial infection. It can be treated with antibiotics or drained by the surgeon.
This is when clear fluid accumulates in the surgical site. Small seromas may need to be aspirated, or sucked out, once or more by the surgeon.
Unsightly scarring
You can take steps to prevent severe scarring by following your surgeon's advice about sun avoidance and massage exercises. Severe scarring may require surgical revision.
Dissatisfaction with the size and/or shape
Some people may be dissatisfied with the size and/or shape of the penis*, (Check with your surgeon to see if surgical revision is possible.)
Decreased sensation and ability to achieve orgasm
It seems likely that the risk of decreased sensation with clitoral release would be less compared to metoidioplasty or phalloplasty, but research is scarce. Check with your surgeon.
Implant complications
You may choose to get testicular implants. Complications associated with testicular implants include poor positioning and infection. If positioning problems occur, the implants can be surgically removed and replaced. Infections can be treated with antibiotics and when necessary, abscesses can be drained.

John Quarles
John Quarles (1624 or 1625–1665) was an English poet.
One of the eighteen children of Francis Quarles, he is said to have been born in Essex in 1624. He was educated under the care of Archbishop James Ussher, and matriculated at Exeter College, Oxford, on 9 February 1643, but does not seem to have taken a degree.
He bore arms for the king in the garrison at Oxford, and was imprisoned and banished, apparently in consequence of his adherence to the royal cause. While in banishment in Flanders he wrote the poems contained in his first published volume, Fons Lachrymarum. He was in England in 1648, but his "occasions beyond sea" compelled him to leave in the following year, and the date of his ultimate return is unknown.
Towards the end of his life he was reduced to great poverty, and lived by his pen. He remained in London during the plague, and was carried off by it in 1665.
The published works of Quarles are:
- Fons Lachrymarum, or a Fountain of Tears; from whence flow England's Complaint, Jeremiahs Lamentations paraphras'd, with Divine Meditations. And an Elegy upon that Son of Valor, Sir Charles Lucas, London, 1648; reprinted 1649, 1655, 1677.
- Regale Lectum Miseriæ, or a Kingly Bed of Miserie. In which is contained a Dreame; with an Elegy upon the Martyrdome of Charles, late King of England. … And another upon … Lord Capel. With a Curse against the Enemies of Peace, and the Authors Farewell to England, London, 1648; reprinted 1649, 1658, 1659, 1660, 1679.
- Gods Love and Mans Unworthiness, London, 1651; reprinted, with Divine Meditations, 1655.
- The Tyranny of the Dutch against the English. … And likewise the Sufferings and Losses of Abraham Woofe … and others in the Island of Banda, London, 1653 (prose); reprinted 1660.
- Divine Meditations upon several Subjects …, London, 1655; reprinted 1663, 1671, 1679.
- The Banishment of Tarquin, or the Reward of Lust, annexed to Shakespeare's Rape of Lucrece, London, 1655.
- An Elegie on … James Usher, L. Archbishop of Armagh, …, London, 1656.
- The History of the most vile Dimagoras …, London, 1658.
- A Continuation of the History [by his father] of Argalus and Parthenia, London, 1659.
- Rebellions Downfall, London, 1662, broadside.
- Londons Disease and Cure. Being a Soveraigne Receipt against the Plague, for Prevention sake, London, 1665, broadside.
- The Citizens Flight, with their Recall, to which is added Englands Tears and Englands Comforts, London, 1665.
- Self-Conflict, or the powerful Motions between the Flesh and Spirit, represented in the Person … of Joseph … , London, 1680; reprinted, with a slightly different title (Triumphant Chastity, or Joseph's Self-Conflict), 1684.
There is nothing in the book to show that this last item, a translation entirely in the manner of Quarles, is a posthumous publication, but the date of his death given above is confirmed by William Winstanley, who was apparently acquainted with at least one member of his family. Quarles also wrote a prose preface to John Hall's Emblems, 1648, and contributed verses to Thomas Fuller's Abel Redevivus (1651).[1]

Never Delete Creaturecache.wdb for _NPCScan Ever Again!
Today I'm going to write a quick post about how to easily never have to delete your creaturecache ever again. If you don't already know what it is, this is the file you have to delete to make sure the addon _NPCScan can find rare spawns you have already seen in previous logins. This file is found in your World of Warcraft folder under /Cache/WDB/enUS/creaturecache.wdb. Just to note, I originally found this out from a comment on wowinterface.com and wanted to share it with you guys.
Just Follow These Easy Steps:
1) Delete creaturecache.wdb
2) Open WoW and log a character, then log out. (This will create a new, fresh copy of creaturecache.wdb)
3) Right Click creaturecache.wdb and set it to "read-only". (Details Below for those who need them)
4) ???????
5) Profit.
That's it, now every time you logout and WoW tries to make a new file detailing the rare spawns you saw, it'll be read-only, so WoW won't be able to, and you never have to delete it again!
For Those Not So Computer Savvy (making the file read-only)
Windows Users:
Right click creaturecache.wdb and select properties from the drop down menu.
Click the general tab at the top, click the check box for read only, then hit OK.
Mac Users:
Right Click creaturecache.wdb and select "Get Info" from the drop down menu.
Under "Sharing & Permissions:" set Privileges to Read Only. I just did them all because hey why not?
Hope you all enjoyed this tip!

Personally I prefer to just use a simple batch file.
@del "C:\Games\World of Warcraft\Cache\WDB\enUS\creaturecache.wdb"
@del "C:\Games\World of Warcraft\Cache\WDB\enUS\npccache.wdb"
@start C:\"Games\World of Warcraft"\"WoW.exe"
Copy and paste that block of text above into notepad, then save it as something like "Start.bat". Then when you want to play WoW just double click that, which will automatically delete your creaturecache and npccache before launching the game.
I feel this has the least potential to screw something up on patch day, like Jim said.Replies- AnonymousMarch 16, 2012 at 8:35 AM
That is how I've had my launcher set for about a year and has worked just fine through many patches and I'm still hunting rare spawns in game without issue.

This is brilliant, wish I knew about this trick ages ago :D

I'm not a dirty person, how did this happen? I get asked these questions more times a week than I can count. Why do some people have nasty toenails that look like little mountains of yellow, thick rock? Fungus is the most common culprit! And most women's answer is to cover it in toenail polish until it spreads and becomes painful. Men just wear closed toed shoes and hide the problem. Either way, this common infection is often ignored until it becomes a real pain in the toes!
Toe nail fungus strikes across class, ethnic, age and hygiene lines. In fact, one study showed that almost 50% of people over the age of 40 have experienced some type of toenail fungus. Fungal infections are incredibly common, but are more prevalent in athletes (due to chronic toenail trauma from shoes) and the aged or infirmed (due to a decreased immune response).
Dermatophytes, also known as your typical athlete's foot fungus, is the same fungus that infects your toenails. Fungus loves a moist, warm, dark environment, like in your shoes between your toes. The toenails can have a whitish, chalky superficial infection or a yellow to brown discoloration under the toenails that seems to eat and destroy the nail as it grows. Long standing fungal toenail look like thick, brownish-yellow mountains growing on the end of your toes. The thickness makes them painful and susceptible to a secondary bacterial infection. This infection can be quite dangerous and has been linked to gangrene in diabetics.
How is toenail fungus diagnosed?
Diagnosis of toenail fungus, or onychomycosis, can only be made by a toenail biopsy. Your podiatrist can take a small piece of the leading nail and send it for a special stain that shows the fungus. A PAS stain is usually faster and more accurate than a fungal culture, because often the fungus does not grow in the laboratory. Do not assume you have onychomycosis. Psoriasis and other skin disorders as well as chronic trauma can look like fungus. Also, a melanoma under the nails can mimic fungus, but can be deadly if there is a delay in diagnosis. If you suspect you have toenail fungus, don't delay, see your podiatrist today!
How can I prevent toenail fungus?
1. If you get regular pedicures, bring your own instruments or go to a spa that sterilizes their instruments in an autoclave (like our in-office spa, Health Steps DFW).
2. Clean your toenail clippers with alcohol before you use them if you do your own toenails and make sure to replace Emory boards and orange sticks regularly.
3. We also recommend you regularly clean your shoes with either antibacterial spray like Lysol or even better an antibacterial with an antifungal like Mycomist (Gordon Laboratories) at least once a month and dry them with a hairdryer.
4. Keep your feet clean and dry! Change your socks regularly (even a few times a day if you have sweaty feet).
5. Keep your athletic shoes dry and also change them regularly. If you exercise regularly, buy your athletic shoes a half size larger than your street shoes so you won't bash your toenails as your feet swell with exercise.
How is toenail fungus treated?
One well documented cure that seems to work for many people is the nail fungus vinegar cure. Whether white vinegar or apple cider vinegar, this is the cheapest treatment intended to eradicate fungal infections from toenails or fingernails.
There is a lot of misinformation out there about toenail fungus. I have never told my patients to use white iodine, Vic's Vaporub or organic cornmeal soaks on their toes. There is no evidence I can find that it works (If you know of any scientific evidence please send it to me).
Topical therapy should have some penetration of the nail plate like Formula 3 Tolnaftate oil (tetra Corp), Nailstat (Tripod Labs), or prescription (now generic Penlac) ciclopirox nail lacquer. This should be coupled with a nail treatment plan from your podiatrist.
If this doesn't work after several months, oral medication, like terbinafine (generic Lamisil) or itraconazole (generic Sporonox) may be needed. Toenails take at least 6 to 12 months to grow out no matter how you treat the fungal infection.
A combination of oral and topical medication has the best long-term results, but still does not have a 100% cure rate. Relapse is also common, so it's important to play offense (treat the fungus) and defense (try to prevent the fungus) at the same time.
Don't ignore nail fungus...This is not just ugly toenails, it's an infection!

Mine to Hold

A friend's duty.
Tyler Murphy was an LAPD detective, single and happy—until a near-fatal tragedy crippled his friend, fellow detective Eric Catalano. While he supported Eric, he also became a shoulder for Eric's wife, Delaney, to cry on. But with one naughty suggestion from Eric, a drunken night with Delaney spilled into erotic abandon. Before it was over Tyler saw his best friend's wife as a woman and yearned for more. When Eric struggled to deal with the aftermath, Delaney begged Tyler to leave. Crushed, he fled to Louisiana, hoping to escape his longing for the one woman he could never have again…and unaware of what he'd left behind.
A lover's desire.
After two years of living with regret, Tyler finds Delaney on his doorstep, her husband having abandoned her long ago. She's protecting a shocking secret and desperately needs refuge from a killer determined to see her dead. As they fight to stay alive and catch the stalker, they struggle to resolve the guilt of their past pleasures. But they can't deny that what was once a spark is now a flame burning out of control. To possess Delaney — body and soul — Tyler must heal her pain and thwart the evil that's a mere breath behind her...
