7 Deadly Sins (of Reading) Meme

Who can resist a sinful reading meme?
GREED – What is your most inexpensive book?
-At the moment I believe this would be "Thirteenth Night" by Alan Gordon, bought from a library sale for either a quarter or fifty cents. Shakespeare, and Jesters running the world, and murderous mystery, oh my!
It seems strange that it's the cheapest instead of most expensive work, which I am not sure about in my collection, but what springs to mind is "The Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Arthurian Legends" edited by Roman Coghlan. It's gorgeous and out-of-print and I felt guilty, although I'm sure it wasn't that much bought second-hand….but it made me feel a lot greedier than buying things at library sales!
WRATH – What author do you have a love/hate relationship with?
-Definitely Alison Weir. I find her such a good source-finder, and her writing does have a wonderfully engaging quality so she's fun to read, but then she goes and twists all the evidence around so her books always find people guilty or innocent depending on the current trend, and sometimes she even SAYS in there that this was a common thing with no meaning, but then she proceeds to find meaning in it anyway, and I'm sure it influences a lot of people, including my mother, and it is Frustrating. *glares*
GLUTTONY – What book have you devoured over and over with no shame?
-I find this question rather bemusing as it has never occurred to me to have shame over rereading books…I get it over rewatching TV sometimes? I suppose the book I've probably read the most over the years is "The Ordinary Princess" by M.M. Kaye-it is my springtime book and one of the most delightful novellas ever, where the king's advisers have committee meetings and the princess's animal friends aren't anthropomorphized at all. It's also probably the one I've read to other people the most, so there's that. And if that makes me a glutton, then so be it-NO SHAME! YOU SHOULD READ IT! In the springtime, at any rate…
SLOTH – What book have you neglected reading due to laziness?
-This would be Otto von Bismarck's autobiography in volumes which I started and found very amusing, but am too lazy to get back into. His iron fist allowed him to write too much without tiring his hand, apparently. Also Proust.
PRIDE – What book do you talk most about to sound like an intellectual reader?
-I really don't think I do this outside of research papers. o.O I remember in high school I did it with having read "Ivanhoe" for fun and enjoyed it.
LUST – What attributes do you find attractive in male or female characters?
-Dark, curly/unruly hair of the longish variety and an accent, preferably Irish. Also, intense stares. Yeah. In males, specifically.
ENVY – What book would you most like to receive as a gift?
-WHY MUST I PICK? That's just ridiculously hard. Which I suppose makes me very envious since I'd like people to just hand me a lot of books as gifts. I shall say that the rare, out-of-print Barbara Helen Berger books like "Animalia" and "When the Sun Rose" would be particularly special.
So, how about all the guilty readers out there? What are your seven deadly sins?
Top Ten Books I Found Through Recs/Hype

This is a rendition of Top Ten Tuesday by the thebrokeandthebookish.wordpress.com. The prompt was books people keep telling you you must read, but I felt more comfortable listing works I've already read for that reason and liked rather than just passing on other recs or books you've probably heard the hype about already, anyhow. So, here goes:
Top Ten Books I Found Through Recs/Hype:
1. "Harry Potter" by J.K. Rowling
-My secret's been that I actually put this down the first time I tried to read it and only picked them up again for the hype…only to get thoroughly into the fandom.
2. "The Other Boleyn Girl" by Philippa Gregory
-This was lent to me by my mother, who firmly believes that Anne did probably engage in incest with George in order to beget an heir.
3. "The Great, Good Thing" by Roderick Townley
-A friend gifted me this work and I loved its meta style.
4. "The Graveyard Book" by Neil Gaiman
-I'm actually not a fan of most of Gaiman's works, and the synopsis for this book is not something I normally go for, but somehow I really like this one.
5. "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams
-This one actually had to be recommended to me over years, simply because it's so hard to explain and the title sounds boring to me, I think.
6. "Howl's Moving Castle" by Diana Wynne Jones
-One of my happiest author discoveries, I think this was actually thrust upon me by my little sister.
7. "Wee Free Men" by Terry Pratchet
-This is another big author whose works I largely don't connect with, so I need recommendations to find the ones that I do really enjoy.
8. "Soulless" by Gail Carriger
(Full review here: https://wheresmytower.wordpress.com/2014/06/17/soulless-the-parasol-protectorate-series-1/)
-This was another gift from a friend.
9. "Her Royal Spyness" by Rhys Bowen
(Full review here: https://wheresmytower.wordpress.com/2014/07/25/her-royal-spyness/)
-A friend literally put this into my hands in a bookstore and I couldn't put it down.
10. Georgette Heyer books
-This regency romance author I found because a close friend began a reading aloud marathon of them with me, and luckily she wrote enough for me to still be working through them. Examples are:
"The Grand Sophy": (https://wheresmytower.wordpress.com/2012/04/24/the-grand-sophy/)
"Black Sheep": (https://wheresmytower.wordpress.com/2012/03/14/regency-romances-best-bickering/)
and for mysteries-
"Behold, Here's Poison": (https://wheresmytower.wordpress.com/2012/03/29/behold-heres-poison/)
Well, I guess that rather doubled as my reading secrets blog. So, what are your favorite books discovered through insistent recommendations?

Blameless (The Parasol Protectorate Series 3)
By: Gail Carriger
Orbit Books 2010
A steampunk historical romance review
On her own, Alexia finds herself facing down epic scandal, betrayal, and assassins wielding homicidal ladybugs. Needless to say, she responds by gathering loyal companions and traveling across Europe to find answers, be it from scientists, murderous vampires, or even the Holy Templars.
An involving, quick read, Blameless amps up the action and world-building. The supernatural machinations behind this plot lead to more twists and consequences for the Maccons' set. From devious schemes and werewolf drunkenness on the home front to the strange and sinister philosophies of Europe, Carriger puts her characters through the wringer. The expansion of French and Italian culture continues to expand this fascinating paranormal world with Alexia's spirited tourism and unexpected transports to lead the way.
The middle book, Blameless proves the least light-hearted, but brings a passion and a flawed reality to these characters that enhances them through the rest of the series. Like tea, a sip of the unsweetened stuff will make the properly served version taste even better.
Changeless (The Parasol Protectorate Series 2)

Changeless (The Parasol Protectorate Series 2)
By: Gail Carriger
Orbit Books 2010
A steampunk historical romance review
Changeless sees the intrepid Alexia Tarabotti settled into a position of power, both as muhjah to the queen and Alpha of the Woolsey pack. So when immortals of all kinds suddenly begin to lose their powers on a wide scale, Conall Maccon runs off to tend to his old Scottish pack, and suspicious activity begins to follow Alexia around, she is naturally up to the task.
This sequel considerably broadens Carriger's world in several directions, by introducing the rest of Conall's werewolf pack, delving into the mysterious circumstances surrounding the Alpha's move to London, taking readers to Scotland, and uncovering more details about this world's intriguing rules and wherefores. The new characters are introduced and expanded without taking away from the original characters' growth, the numerous mysteries facing Alexia keep the plot steaming along full-speed ahead, and this heroine performs her antics with such aplomb that I didn't mind that some questions don't get wrapped up until later books. Amazingly, the clothing details of bizarre hats and edgy attire attain even greater heights of distinction in this work.
In short, this is the vindicated and indomitable Alexia Maccon as everyone loves to see her, and the plot has enough going on to keep her busy and readers highly entertained. However, unlike Soulless, this book ends on an abrupt note that requires swift continuation into Blameless, so have it at the ready.
Top Ten Books I'm Not Sure I Want to Read
12 Aug 2014 2 Comments
in Book Discussion, Uncategorized Tags: analysis, books, fairy tale retellings, fantasy, fiction, language, lists, literature, misc, miscellaneous, top tens, writing
This is a rendition of Top Ten Tuesday by the thebrokeandthebookish.wordpress.com. This week's prompt was the top ten books you're unsure you want to read through. This week was tricky, but there are some books with ???s after them in my mind and here they are:
Top Ten Books to Read or Not to Read?
1. "Gathering Blue" by Lois Lowry
-I loved "The Giver" and I'm not sure about it having sequels. I don't think it needs sequels and I'm worried about delving into them, particularly so long after reading the first book and with the knowledge that I missed the sequels because their publisher shared my opinion that "The Giver" should stand on its own. On the other hand…well, there's more! That everyone's talking about! And that might be fun to revisit…I don't know.
2. "The Time-Traveler's Wife" by Audrey Niffenegger
-I've heard so much about this and it has time-travel! And librarians! But whenever I actually have this book physically in my hands it just doesn't call to me, it falls flat.
3. "Islands of Chaldea" by Diana Wynne Jones and her sister Ursula
-See, I love Diana Wynne Jones, and I have actually had one success with a book finished by another author, but…it's just so dangerous! Especially now that Diana's gone and it's touted as her last work, and…it feels dangerous.
4. "Six Gun Snow White" by Catherynne M. Valente
-This book sounds beautiful and I love fairy tale retellings, but…confound it, I hate westerns! It's a conundrum
5. "Return to the Hundred Acre Wood" by David Benedictus and Mark Burgess
-I love Winnie the Pooh. It's hard to have Winnie the Pooh tales out there I haven't read, I have all of A.A. Milne! Yet…that's A.A. Milne. I find this new author thing suspicious. o.O
6. "The Further Tale of Peter Rabbit" by Emma Thompson
-Same problem as above, although I'm not as attached to this rabbit and I do like Emma…
7. "I, Mona Lisa" by Jeanne Kalogridis
-I really enjoy this author and I have read other books by her, but for some reason this one, with the reference to such an iconic art piece just doesn't hook me in. Messing with things that are too iconic just seems forced, overdone, or just like a poor idea so often…
8. Proust
-I began his works before and they are intriguing, but…they are so exhausting. And so hard to get back into once left. I just don't know that I can keep going at all, even through the first volume…
9. "The Lunar Chronicles" by Marissa Meyer, particularly "Cress"
-Again, I love fairy tale retellings and I am particularly fond of Rapunzel. On the other hand, that makes me more prickly than ever about Rapunzel and particularly things that try to give fairy tales more excitement or draw them together have proved pitfalls before.
10. Books by Stephen Fry
-I love this man and find him all that Polonius imagined himself to be, but having tried one of his works and utterly failed to get into it, I am wary. Yet, I hear such interesting things and have every reason to believe them true…
This is nerve-wracking, dragging all my reading instincts and hesitations out into view. Any reassurances, confirmations, or warnings?

by Internet Medical Society
Tumor in body can be a matter of concern as a majority of them can be cancerous and hence these are supposed to be flushed out from human body without any delay or other issue. One of the ways of fixing the cancerous tumors or cancer is via the treatment called Brachytherapy, which is very much common ways of fixing the menace. India being the emerging hub for global patients for various healthcare treatments can find this procedure as well. Interestingly, the low brachytherapy cost in India along with a long list of other healthcare services, more and more global patients plan their treatment in India only. The added advantage the people flying to India get is the treatments like surgeries and other non-surgical options are delivered with high quality and affordable cost. Time to dig in deep into this treatment option in the following paragraphs:
What is Brachytherapy?
Brachytherapy is a kind of radiation therapy wherein the surgeon employs high energy radiation targeting the tumor as opposed to the external radiation. As the procedure delivers the radiation energy directly to the said tumor, it is less likely to see the external radiation to damage the number of healthy tissues. The procedure of Brachytherapy is more often employed as a palliative therapy, which is a therapy carried out in order to relieve you from the symptoms like bleeding or to the open airways, but certainly not to cure the lung cancer. With the affordable brachytherapy cost in India, more and more global patients are flying to this country and getting freedom from the same.
Procedure for Brachytherapy
Before you worry about the brachytherapy cost in India, it would be better to have a look at the procedure of this treatment option. Well, this procedure is carried out on an outpatient option, which simply means you are not often required to spend the night in hospital or required any provision of admitting to the hospital. The procedure can take around one hour, while a majority of the people getting the same get the spinal anesthesia that can numb the waist down which can be addressed with a medication at the later stage in case if you feel drowsy. The surgeon then inserts the UV probe in the rectum wherein it will showcase the prostate gland over the TV monitor that helps the doctor to place the seeds. The surgeon is then seen implanting the seeds over the prostate via thin needles and these are then inserted over the skin found in between rectum and scrotum and are guided in a perfect way in order to treat the cancer perfectly. After this procedure, you can find catheter will help in placing over the bladder that helps imposing the urine during the process of recovery. The procedure is found of two types, the temporary and permanent one, which is self-explanatory. The type of the procedure is decided upon the kind of conditions the patients have and other issues.
Brachytherapy Treatment in Mumbai Hospital India
India ranks at a better position at the global level especially when you have top hospitals catering high quality cancer treatment options. Thanks to the world class facilities and competitive surgeons and doctors who are known to deliver high success rate surgeries and quality healthcare services. India has a number of hospitals, which carry has the state of art modular operation theatres and these are backed by wide range of diagnostic facilities for things like Detection, Staging and Removal of cancerous tumor from the body. Interestingly if you check the brachytherapy cost in India, it is highly competitive especially when you compare the same from the developed nations like the US or the UK and other nations in the west. In other words, the global patients have enough opportunities to find nothing but the best of the healthcare services.

text: Wednesday, August 21, 2013 APTA Urges Increase in Payment for NCS and EMG Tests The values of the CPT codes describing nerve conduction studies (NCS) and electromyography (EMG) tests should be increased to more accurately reflect the intensity of the work involved, APTA and others contended yesterday. In particular, APTA member John Palazzo, PT, DSc, ECS, represented APTA in the NCS refinement panel that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) conducted at the request of APTA and the other groups. These groups have urged CMS to reconsider Medicare payment cuts that were made to NCS and EMG services for 2013. During the discussions, presenters provided CMS staff, carrier medical directors, and several other panel members a detailed explanation of the intensity of the work involved in performing NCS and EMG tests to support an increase in payment for these services. APTA anticipates that a decision will be made on or around November 1, 2013, when the 2014 physician fee schedule is released, regarding whether the work values and therefore payment for EMG codes (95886 and 95887) and NCS (95908-95913) will increase in 2014. APTA will share any information when it becomes available. Payment for NCS and EMG was cut more than 50% beginning January 1, and APTA says it has a catastrophic effect on patients who depend on their health care providers to care for complex and often chronic neurologic diseases. Other organizations that participated in the refinement panel yesterday along with APTA were the American Academy of Neurology, American Clinical Neurophysiology Society, American Academy of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, American Association of Neuromuscular & Electrodiagnostic Medicine, and American Academy of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery.

Times change, designs change.
The release of WordPress 3.3 was reason to update the system and the design. There are still some details to fix, but the switch to the "Twenty Eleven" theme is almost completed. Hope you like it!
Please leave comments if something doesn't work.
The 3.3 update included new jQuery libraries which may cause a different behaviour. The InstaChallenge plugin makes extensive use of jQuery, so I found this article very helpful to solve the most obvious problems.

Every time i ask some of my friends to do nail care, they always be like: Will it affect the self protection of the nails?
Let's make it clear first: Nail Caring and Manicure are complete two different things. Nail Caring is to protect your natural nails in a healthy way.
So, whether you prefer manicure or natural nails, it is important to get fundamental care for your nails.
We have picked this ultimate guide of nail caring for you:
Nail Care History
While you're sitting at the nail salon or filing away on your own nails at home, you probably don't think back to where it originated. The history of the manicure actually began thousands of years ago in Ancient Egypt and has adapted and evolved to the shapes, colors, and styles that we know and love today.
The very first form of nail care and manicures ever recorded was around 5000 – 3000 BC in Ancient Egypt where women used to dip their nails into henna. These dyed nails were seen as a status symbol and a show of wealth and style considered to have great sex appeal.
Moving forward a while to China's Chou Dynasty around 600BC and both noblemen and women were known to sparkle gold and silver on their nails.
As we move into more modern times within the last century, we can see the modern manicure as we know it today start to emerge. Around the early 1900s, women had started to experiment with colors, piercings, and other nail art, matching their outfits to their nails and using them as a way to show off their personal style to the world.
In 1955, the fake nail was inadvertently invented by a dentist and his brother as they were trying to fix a broken fingernail with acrylic. From here on out, celebrities and everyday people alike were seen with dramatic, bold, and long nails, which has only continued to evolve with the changes in fashion.
The rise of the nail salon really began to take off in the 1990s, as women were happy to pay money to have their nails professionally done and receive pedicures and manicures regularly.
In the last 10 years or so, though, the range of home nail care products has exploded and there seems to be a trend now towards caring for your own nails to make the practice more personalized, safe, and affordable.
Healthy Nails Signs
first of all, we need to learn the structure of our nails. You might like to take a note of these word which will be used later.
The nails with soft and smooth skin around, nail bed is rosy and nail plate is glossy, not too thin or thick is the sign of healthy nails.
If you have health nails, keep taking care of it: clean nail walls periodically and apply hand cream. Nails are the same to skins, they need moisturizing as well.
Don't forget to work out. It will reflect one's physical body condition on nails.
The Benefits Of Manicures And Pedicures
There's no doubt that the number one reason people enjoy manicures and pedicures is that they make their feet look good, but there are actually a few other benefits that you can get from regularly treating yourself at home to this important nail care.
Fungal Infections
Our feet can be especially prone to picking up fungal infections, especially when they're exposed to moist conditions. Keeping your feet clean with a pedicure can be one way to prevent it, and paying close attention to any changes in your feet mean that you'll be able to get on top of fungal infections before they get any worse.
Mental Health
The best way to balance your mental health is to treat yourself to a relaxing manicure and pedicure, and even doing them at home can have the same effect.
Just spending half an hour doing something for yourself can have a huge impact on your mood and happiness, and the improvement in your self-confidence when you see how good your nails look will give you another boost.
Any good manicure or pedicure will feature an invigorating massage that can have great effects on your circulation. Manicures and pedicures can also relieve pressure on your extremities, improve blood flow, and help your body to distribute heat more evenly which can be particularly helpful during winter.
Skin Care
Every day, our hands are exposed to various grime, dirt, and bacteria, so spending a little time each week on pedicures and manicures can keep them clean and hygienic. These processes can remove dead skin cells that trap dirt and give you a fresh and clean surface to start the week with.
Common Nail Problems And How to Avoid Them
Our nails are an important part of our body as they're there to support our fingers and keep them protected, so it's not surprise that most of people's fingernails have some minor problems.
Nails on our feet and hands are exposed to a variety of things that can damage them, lead to infection, and make them vulnerable, so it's a good idea to have an understanding of the potential issues and how to avoid them.
Nail Ridges
Cause: It is very likely that they are iron, folic acid, protein and some other nutrients deficiency.
Solution: If it is light ridges, it can be gentlely polished and then coated with armor oil. A balanced diet or food with the above nutrients, such as eggs, pig's liver.
Weak Nails
Cause: Overmanicure, frequently doing nail polish or hydropenia of nails. It may also be a lack of vitamin A (which help to produce protein – an important part of nails) or a lack of vitamin B7 (which helps nail growth).
Solution: Take a rest for your nails, try not to do nail polish for a while. Remember to apply hand cream after hand washing. Eat more food contains those vitamin, such as peanuts, yolk green leaves vegetables and so on.
Splitting Nails
If you find that your nails regularly split on your hands or feet, this could be the sign of a number of other issues. Weak and brittle nails can be caused by everything from autoimmune disease to dietary issues, so anyone who suffers from them should be speaking with a medical professional to determine the possible cause.
Nail Discoloration
Sometimes, nail discoloration can occur on the hands and feet of someone who uses too much nail polish without giving their nails a chance to breathe. A healthy nail should be pink and pale, so if you're noticing yellow or darker nails then it could be an indication of a nail infection.
Lifted Nail Plate
This can be extremely painful to deal with and it can happen from trauma or an accident which snagged your nail. The best thing to do for a lifted nail plate is to keep it bandaged and covered up, allowing it time to heal on its own.
If you've suffered from a lifted nail plate and regularly enjoy manicures, it's wisest to let that particular nail heal before you do any buffing or trimming that could damage it further.
The Nail Care Essentials Everyone Should Have
Taking care of your nails is serious business, but it doesn't have to be a lot of hard work.
Although the nail salon boomed in popularity in recent years, people simply don't have the time or money to spend there each week and so many men and women are now choosing to invest in a few key pieces of nail care equipment to do their own routine at home.
Here are the nail care essentials you'll need to keep yourself looking great.
Nail Clipper
This is the most common instrument owned by almost everyone, regardless of how much other nail care you indulge in.
A nail clipper is a small stainless steel device that allows you to place the blades on the end of your nail and then push down to trim them off.
For the best results, it's recommended that you trim in a straight line on the end of the nail so that you can avoid ingrown toes. Some nail clippers come with a metal file attached but it's best to avoid this kind of abrasive material on your nails.
Nail Nipper
Some people confuse this with a nail clipper, however, a nail nipper is actually designed to work with ingrown nails and the loose bits of skin that you find around your nail. This looks like a small set of scissors but with a gripped handle to keep from slipping. As the skin and nails on your feet is generally tougher, many people prefer to use their nipper for pedicures only.
Cuticle Tool
As we now know, cuticles require delicacy when working with them to ensure that we don't cut them or do damage to them. A cuticle tool is the best way to get rid of them as it allows you to gently push back the skin and then scrape away the dead cells that are found on your nail. These are usually made of stainless steel and should only be used with a little bit of pressure.
Peeling Knife
For those with extra tough skin, corns, and callouses, you might need to invest in a peeling knife. These are small handheld instruments with a sharp blade on the end that allows you to peel away at dead skin without a fuss.
Commonly used in pedicures for those with more dead skin than usual, they painlessly remove the extra skin before moving onto the next stage of your pedicure.
Nail File
There are a few different types of nail file available but all of them have the same purpose: to shape and fill back your nail and remove tears and sharp edges. Emery boards and metal nail files have been popular for years, however, many people are now looking to glass and crystal nail files for a smoother finish.
Nail Polish
This is one part of your nail care essentials that will be completely dependent on your personal taste. Some people prefer to have a range of colors and styles of varnish where others will prefer transparent polishes made to strengthen nails or prevent you from biting them.
There's no need to actually use nail polish after a pedicure or manicure, which is the option that most men go for.
Simple Tips For Nail Care
There are literally thousands of unique ways that you can go that extra mile for your nails, and many that you'll find passed down from friends, family, and manicurists along the way. We've compiled some of the best nail care tips and tricks for you to try out at home:
Hydrating Gloves
Gloves can be used a couple of ways in nail care, and both are equally important. Firstly, you should always wear gloves while you're washing up or doing anything that involves a drying agent.
Secondly, before you go to bed you can lather up with a moisturizer, place the gloves on, and sleep with them. This offers complete hydration and you'll wake up to new nails and hands in the morning.
Focus On Cuticles
Too many people ignore the cuticles or treat them improperly, but you're never going to get a clear and clean surface with your manicure if you leave it out. Cuticles are the dead skin on your nails which can be scraped off with ease, leaving a smooth base to paint your nails.
Wear Sunscreen
We often forget how important sunscreen is for our hands as we focus on other areas, but our hands get quite a lot of exposure to harmful UV rays all through the day. Before you leave the house, apply a quick SPF30+ sunscreen to your hands to keep them and your nails healthy and strong.
File With Glass
The days of the tough emery board are over, with people now looking to crystal and nail files to help them shape their nail. These are affordable and durable, lasting well beyond a standard emery board and never losing their sharpness. A glass file is easier to use than a metal file and they can even double as a buffer to give your nails a glossy finish.
Focus On Health Over Length
Although you might want the longest nails in the neighborhood, this usually means they're the unhealthiest. To keep your nails strong, you'll want to trim them once a week so that the thinner end of the nail doesn't get too flimsy. These thinner and longer nails are more prone to chipping and breaking anyway, so you'll have to cut them down to size eventually.
Check The Labels
You probably don't think that you have to be careful with the polishes and products that you're putting on your nails, but some of them could be doing more harm than good.
According to the experts, we should be avoiding anything that contains formaldehyde, toluene, and dibutyl phthalate. These ingredients are known to cause breakages and chipping, so you should avoid them completely.
Eat Smart
There are a few things that you can eat that will help to strengthen your nails from the inside out, so if you feel that your nails can do with some toughness try adding them to your diet. Try supplements including vitamin E and fish oil and eating foods like nuts, beans, and fish.
Why Should You Care For Your Nails?
With all of these tips and tricks around, you might start to wonder why it's so important that we give so much attention to our nails. Sure, they make up such a small part of our bodies overall, but our nails the reason we need to give them regular loving is due to a few reasons.
Firstly, our nails are on show to the world at all times. You might not realize just how much action your hands get, but take note of it the next time you're speaking with a coworker, buying something from the store, or even working out in the gym.
Our hands are always on display and when you have dirty nails, chipping nail polish, or fungal infections then you can come across as someone who doesn't care about their appearance or health.
Another huge reason why nail care is so important is due to the all the health benefits it can offer us. As we've seen, our nails can be prone to a number of infections and diseases, so giving them extra attention can help us to stay on top of problems.
For many of us, we are even guilty of chewing on our nails or putting our fingers in our mouth without even thinking about it, so you don't want something dirty and full of germs spreading bacteria to your mouth.
The best thing about nail care is that it doesn't have to be a big process and it can easily be achieved in the comfort of your home. If you're someone who feels uncomfortable at the nail salon or just don't have the money to spend, you can invest in a couple of quality nail care essentials and spend a few minutes a week getting your hands and nails looking their best.
How To Do A Proper Manicure
There's quite a lot of misconception about the manicure and with so many different types around, people are unsure about how exactly you do them correctly.
The manicure can have quite a few steps to it, but the best thing about it is you can completely adapt it to whatever you want it to be. Here are a few tips on how to do a proper manicure at home:
Spend Time Setting Up
If you're planning on a full treatment of your nails, it's best to lay out all of the nail care essentials including a bowl to soak your hands before you get started. This way you can stay in the one spot and give yourself a proper manicure without rummaging around finding bits and pieces.
Give Yourself Time To Dry
Add to the process the time it takes to dry your nails, as many people try to get back on with their day and end up chipping or smudging the polish. There are some ways you can make it dry faster such as dipping your nails into cold water or using a quick dry polish, so if time is important then you might want to try these.
Keep Tools Sharp
Always give your tools a quick look over before you use them as working with dull or faulty equipment can actually do more damage than good. Nails files need to be changed more regularly than other equipment but a good pair of stainless steel clippers should last for many years.
Don't Go Too Hard
While it might be tempting to dig deep and remove callouses, ingrown nails, and cuticles, the best approach is a gentle one. Our skin and nails are very sensitive and you can do a lot of damage if you don't take care with the process.
Give Nails A Breather
There are some people who always change their nail polish to suit the latest trends, and while it's good to look stylish you need to give your nails a chance to breathe every now and then. Try to give it a week between each application of polish otherwise, you could end up with brittle and discolored nails.
The Importance Of Nail Care
There's no limit to who can benefit from caring for their nails; men and women, young and old, those with lavish lifestyles or people who prefer simpler lives. How you care for your nails can be a completely personal experience and it will depend on your comfort, style, and taste, so there are no hard and fast rules for how you have to take care of your nails.
With more and more reports of bacteria and fungi being found in public nail spas and the rising cost of having manicures and pedicures, there's been no better time than now to invest in some quality and professional grade equipment for home.
This means you can treat yourself to some nail love whenever you feel the need, and make minor fixes and adjustment as required.
Our hands are the most used part of our body and they're involved in just about everything we do in life, especially when we communicate with others. It's essential to look well presented and healthy at all times, and that's exactly what you can achieve when you take a little time to keep your nails in the best condition.
Looking back on all the nail trends of the past, there's no telling what trends and styles we'll see in the future, and how many modern trends like the male manicure will evolve. We're certain that the world of nail care can only get bigger and better, though, and more people realize the huge impact that a well-manicured nail can have on your overall appearance and health.

Sir Tim Berners-Lee is to be awarded with a lifetime-achievement Webby for inventing the World Wide Web.
Although the more cynical will question why he hasn't already won the award, for inventing the whole thing, TBL will be given the gong at the 13th annual awards in New York on June 8.
"Sir Tim Berners-Lee sealed his place in history with the creation of the Web, but more importantly, he guided its development as a tool for promoting creativity and humanitarian values," said David-Michel Davies, executive director of The Webby Awards.
"It is an honour to pay tribute to a brilliant pioneer responsible for creating the most influential mass medium the world has seen," he added.
The Webby Awards will also see Jimmy Fallon (Person of the Year), Trent Reznor (Artist of the Year), and Twitter (Breakout of the Year) pick up Special Achievments, alongside the winners of the other awards.

Architect Ly Anh Thi is the founder of AT Design Company which specializes not just in architectural design but also 3D visualization. The interior designs created by Ly Anh Thi and her team are beautiful with the spaces sporting multiple textures and tasteful art. The rooms itself are like individual works of art created to make each room unique, warm and luxurious. She features designs for small apartments and larger homes alike and manages to make the spaces open and inviting, no matter the size or layout.
This apartment space is used as a combination bedroom and living room. But because of the floor to ceiling windows and the clean design, the space isn't too small or cluttered. The black and white artwork combined with the wood textures make the space feel uniform and stylish.
This open living room design has various textures in the area rug, the tree branches and the painted brick walls. The artwork adds to the aesthetics and the furniture isn't all one matching color, but the various colors work together and tie in the design.
This linear designed bedroom is very easy on the eyes. The accent wall behind the bed is created by long wooden planks with sporadic mirrors. The same linear pattern is found in the hardwood floors and striped area rug.
This open kitchen is bright and white, but the medium toned wood finishes tie together not just the kitchen but the adjacent dining space which has a large wooden table in the same finish.
Your eye travels floor to ceiling in this living room design. Decorative boxes surrounded by wood molding encase two identical art pieces, and the same outlined boxes are repeated above them but except they are open and able to be used to shelf various decorative items. This also opens the rooms up. The many green plants also give life and a contrasting green accent color.
Again, texture is the key in this bedroom with the wall paper, area rug and draperies. The room is done in soft colors with an inviting seating area.
This massive walk-in closet has perpendicular wooden patterns from the hardwood floors and the cabinets and shelving. The contrast continues in the different shades of the wood.
Although there isn't much privacy in this bathroom, there is style. A glass enclosed shower and toilet area really open up the room and make it appear very large.
Texture once again adds to the room with the counter tops and tile work.
This bathroom looks like a spa retreat with the in ground tub, just below the windows to provide privacy.
The furry area rug in a cow pattern is the real show stopper in this villa living room area. The brown furniture warms up the room and there is ample seating for entertaining.
This monochromatic color scheme in shades of brown creates a modern and inviting living space. The two different wall paper patterns again add that texture and contrast.
Even though this space is mostly white, the dark wood and gray accent pieces add a simple style. Artwork, vases and branches give personality to the space.
This kitchen and dining space is combined yet separate with the wall frame in between allowing you to see straight through into either space. It also provides a place to add wine bottles to decorate the rooms.
Another view of the large, textured bedroom space with full seating area.
This warm bedroom design continues the theme of texture and artistic appeal.
Linear view of the textured bedroom shows how the room connects well with the hallway and entrance.

You won't just find the most common writing mistakes here; also included are ten remedies for writers who make the same mistakes over and over! These writing tips are from Vancouver-based writer and publication coach, Daphne Gray-Grant.
"Effective writers understand that they are lifelong apprentices," says Gray-Grant. "They learn by reading – constantly. Note: this is not just passive 'flip-through-a-thriller-while-sitting-on-the-pool-deck' kind of reading. This is active 'sit-up-and-pay-attention-to-technique-dissection' – similar to what a scientist would do in a lab. You won't want to read this closely all the time, of course (it's work — although fun work, to my mind). But effective writers do some of this every week."
Fellow scribes, when you come across an enchanting phrase or passage, try to figure out why it works so well. Is it the words, the pace, the tone, the grammar? Don't just marvel at the awesome-ness of the writing; explain how and why it's so effective. This will help you fix mistakes in your own writing.
Word Painting: A Guide to Write More Descriptively will help you find the right word at the right time, and improve your writing skills.
Okay, here are common mistakes writers make…
10 Most Common Writing Mistakes
Guest Post ~ Daphne Gray-Grant (with commentary from Laurie)
Leaving writing to the last minute
You may hate writing, but the smartest writers do all sorts of preparatory work first, to ensure their writing time is as much fun as possible. Think about your topic. (And go for a walk while thinking.) Research. Prepare a writers' mindmap. All of these activities are easy, and don't even feel like writing! Don't let the pressure of deadlines force you to write too early. Ensure you prepare.
Doing an outline
No, no, a thousand times no! Don't outline before writing — this is a common writing mistake. This task takes you into the linear, logical part of your brain when you want to be in the creative part. Instead of making an outline, create a writers' mindmap.
Starting without a model
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery! Before you write a word be sure to have a model that you (or your boss) thinks captures the style of what you're trying to write. As long as you're only copying the style (and not word for word) you will not be plagiarizing.
Not being conversational enough
You don't want to sound like a pompous ass when you write — instead you want to be relaxed and interesting and, dare I say it, fun! Even if your topic is serious, a conversational approach will help your audience understand you better. A remedy for writers who make this common writing mistake is to write like you speak.
Here are some examples of writers who were too conversational in their writing: Email Mistakes Writers Make, Plus Tips for Emailing Pitches.
Failing to include stories and examples
Too many writers are in love with the facts and only the facts. Instead, remember that human beings have been telling stories since well before we invented writing! Stories move us and bring us to action. If you're trying to persuade anyone to do anything with your writing, be sure to tell some stories and anecdotes. (This is the writing tip I need most — I'm horrible at telling stories!)
Editing while you write
Writing is an entirely separate job from editing. Trying to do both at the same time is like trying to clear the table while you are still eating dinner. Instead, write as fast as you can and edit (later) as slowly as you can tolerate. (Oops – I spoke too soon. (This is my most common writing mistake. But, Daphne has emailed me and encouraged me to separate my writing time from my editing time — which is a great writing remedy).
Writing sentences that are too long
If you've been through higher education you've likely been trained to write sentences that are far too long for easy understanding. A remedy for writers is to use an internet-based tool to determine the average length of your sentences. Aim for 14-18 words per sentence. (NB: This is an average. Some sentences should be much longer and others should be much shorter.)
Being too sophisticated
Writers who make the common writing mistakes in 4, 5 and 7, are usually trying to demonstrate their own sophistication to the reader. This is always an error. Instead, you should strive to have your readers engaged and, perhaps, entertained. Never try to make them think you're smarter than they are. This alienates rather than impresses. (This isn't one of my most common writing mistakes, though my website analyzer says I write at graduate level. This is not good.)
Not allowing enough incubation time after you write
After you write and before you edit your text should sit quietly on your hard-drive for at least a day before you edit it. When you get a writing assignment, be sure to schedule this important "waiting" time. You cannot edit properly without enough distance from your words. (This is one reason I love blogging — I try to regularly edit my blog posts, which is a great way to find mistakes and improve my writing).
Failing to proofread – the most common writing mistake of all
I'm convinced that good proofreaders are born, not made (and, sadly, I was born without the necessary DNA.) But you can be a better proofreader if you take care and pay attention. My favorite remedy for this writing mistake is switching the type to something unusual (I favor Papyrus), bumping it up several notches (I go for 20 pt.) and then reading aloud. All of a sudden all sorts of previously hidden writing mistakes jump out and grab me by the eyeballs. (I proofread my magazine articles about four times before submitting them. Blog posts are a different story.)

Finally, the Teaser Trailer to the new adaption of Stephen King's CARRIE.
It's just a teaser as the film won't be out till March 15th, 2013. Sometime before then, we'll get a full blown trailer. However, this is just a lil' taste of the goods
*Note: This is NOT, I repeat NOT, a "remake" of the 1976 Brian DePalma film! So let's not whine & shout about how that movie is already perfection (which it is!) Even the voice over dialogue in teaser below is dialogue straight from the novel!
However this is ACTUALLY following the novel, whereas the 1976 film did not, neither did the 2002 NBC remake of the original film!
I've been following this since in production, & I can guarantee you it will NOT be like the original 1976 film!! The book was much much much darker, violent & chaotic than the original film. So this new adaption will be pretty effin' DARK!
Directed by Kimberly Pierce (of BOY'S DON'T CRY), the movie follows the titular awkward highschool girl Carrie (Chloe Grace Moretz), abused by her religious zealot mother (Julianne Moore) & bullied by her school peers. She begins to realize she has the power of telekinesis, & after being pushed too far after a horrible bullying prank, she snaps & all those in her path (& the entire town) will be destroyed!
Due to the mass school bullying we all know about, this is a GREAT time to re-tell this story following the original novel for a whole new generation. It's very prevalent in this modern day!
Teaser Trailer is below, enjoy! (I know I did!)
Oh one more thing --- if you call this phone #, you'll hear Carrie answer the phone & her mother interrupting & throwing her into the "prayer closet' & mother (Julianne Moore) will warn you NEVER to call the house...AGAIN!
That # is: (207) 404 - 2604

Out, Proud and Queer ALLies hopes to expand messages of acceptance
By Adrienne Ellis, Contributing Writer
After a wonderfully enriching (and I suppose, a little fun) semester in Australia, I am extremely excited to be back on campus as the president of ALLies. I would like to personally welcome everyone back. I was blown away at what was accomplished last semester by the ALLies club: our first Drag Show, a ten-day ALLies Week, a Trans-Awareness Week, movie nights, Post Secret and the hiring of Erin Duran, Gettysburg's first LGBTQA advisor.
ALLies meetings will be held this semester on Thursday evenings at 7 p.m. in the ALLies house common room (239 Carlisle Street).
There are a variety of ALLies events and collaborations to look forward to this spring. Some of the events that ALLies is planning include: ALLies Week, the annual Lady Gaga dance, more movie nights and social events, collaborations with the library, and a Trans Inclusion discussion with military and Trans issues experts on March 20.
With the legalization of same sex marriage in Maine and Maryland in the 2012 election, increased LGBTQA visibility on the news and in entertainment, as well as a conscious effort on our own campus to increase diversity, I believe that this semester will be one of more positive change and increased open-minded attitudes.
I've been a member of ALLies since the first meeting in the fall of my first year at Gettysburg. Since then, I've seen membership at least quadruple in size, an ALLies week occur every semester, the introduction of the Lady Gaga Ball, and many more co-sponsored events and partnerships with departments like Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies, Psychology, Sociology, the IRC, Hillel, Greek Life, the Gettysburgian, Eisenhower Institute, Pi House, Farmhouse, Knitting Ninjas, ROTC and Residence Life. I hope to continue these relationships.
You don't necessarily have to come to ALLies to be an ALLy. Let's continue to expand the campus' message of acceptance, diversity, and integrity. Get ready for another strong semester. Peace, Love and Rainbows.

That's one way to describe the new Daily Media box.
Last week, two of United Content Distributors' executives came to my home for a private demo of their newest box. And I have to say I was impressed. Hennie Meijndert is their CEO and behind much of the technology. John Goedegebuure is taking care of PR, now that the Daily Media product is ready for commercial launch.
Basically, the box provides place-shifting in that it allows for a full-blown TV experience of internet-based content. In that respect it resembles both Apple TV, Microsoft and Sony products, as well as TiVo, Akimbo (the original box) and Orb. But it offers a whole lot more, especially to distribution partners. Typically, these could be operators (CATV, DTT, telcos, munifiber) as well as 'service providers' in the widest possible sense (ranging from insurance companies to the post office) - as long as they have some form of customer relationship because UCD doesn't plan to become a service providers itself. Partners will be able to share in (targeted) ad revenues, VoD fees and other fees. And more.
Openness, partnering and revenue sharing are at the heart of the company and it's business model. In that respect, it has telco 2.0 written all over itself. It offers traditional and web 2.0 based video content, enhanced with highly targeted ads.
The specs (also, check out this .ppt that I made available as a Google Presentation):
- United Content Distributors has been working on the Daily Media box for 4 years, with 16 employees (developers and sales). CEO is Hennie Meijndert.
- Funding is private so far, coming from the shareholders: the CEO and his partner.
- Daily Media is a box for connecting a range of input sources (currently >500 channels through web feeds, beside CATV channels) to the TV. Also, all media content available in the home can be converged into the platform. As the box is portable, it can even mimic Sling-like capabilities.
- Video is streamed at 540 kb/s.
- Manufacturing cost: EUR 150 (excluding several relatively cheap add-ons, such as a PLC adaptor, cables, web-cam, microphone, possibly a DTT-tuner, etc.).
- Proprietary are the hardware specifications and the OS running on the box (albeit based on Windows CE). Further, two programs are server-based (for updates and the UI).
- Upon receipt the customer receives a EUR 240 credit at LaSer Nederland/VISA for buying content (VoD) and services. After registration it is raised to EUR 1,000.
- The company does not aim to be a service provider and instead relies on third party distributors. Their role is to subsidise the box and subsequently share in the revenues.
- The business model is centered on revenue sharing with both upstream (content providers, advertisers) and downstream (operators) partners. Sources of income are fees (VoD, t-commerce and other servies) and advertising (skyscrapers and video on the menu pages; commercialised slides during buffering; inserts; etc.).
Here are the benefits to each party in the ecosystem:
For consumers:
- A wide range of content, including web feeds of traditional TV channels, with a heavy focus on long-tail content (e.g. a Brazilian soccer channel).
- Access to the internet, so no walled garden.
- Movies (VoD, running quite well on an astonishing 540 kb/s, or 800 kb/s for somewhat better quality), with a single-click payment system (through the LaSer Nederland/VISA deal), connected to a maximum EUR 1,000 credit against which payments are debited – nice for impulse buying.
- VoIP (an SIP-based home grown solution) for box-to-box communication.
- Services including a 'red button' on screen for t-commerce and potentially domotica.
- Uploading personal content (audio, photo, video), with a free of charge 2 GB of personal storage.
- Plug-and-play installation with a single remote control, a wireless keyboard for web surfing, a webcam and a headset and PLC-based plugs that allow you to hook up anywhere in your home.
For content providers:
- Yet another platform to sell your wares.
- Daily Media picks up free web feeds, but adds pay-TV channels to make the offering more compelling.
- Also, it has a VoD agreement in place with which it has a very narrow distribution window (sometimes movies can be seen just days after they become available for rental).
- New revenue streams from interactivity (purchases through a single click on the red button on enhanced programs) and highly targeted ads (IP addresses and subscriber data can be combined, so CPMs in theory must be relatively high).
For operator partners:
- The solution to your quest for content, with the added benefit of raking in advertising euros, VoD and other fees, and solidifying your customer relationship.
For other distribution partners:
- Same as for operator partners, and add to that the option of having your brand and access to your services on the personalised home page of each individual user. This adds a line of communication to your subscribers. Providing 'hot news' may even alleviate your help desk (in case the partner is a health insurer, e.g.).
Obviously, there are a number of obstacles for UCD and its Daily Media box:
- Picture quality. At a 540 kb/s bit rate, the offering is quite astounding. However, the audience will adopt HD and get used to much more over the coming years. It remains to be seen if Daily media can keep up in this arms race.
- Dependence on web feeds implies that the server of any content provider may crash. Obviously, this is an area in flux. The service is dependent on third parties and you can only hope/assume that capacity is added, and deals with CDN operators such as Akamai and Limelight are scored.
- Funding. Four years and 16 employees implies considerable investments have been made by the current shareholders. Going to the next stage can be achieved through organic growth, but can also be expedited if the company were to attract additional funding. I have been shown some very interesting innovative financing methods.
- Yet another box. STBs and the boxes of even a company like Apple have a hard time making it to the living room. Sure, UCD adds interesting deals for partners, as well as a wide range of content and services, but still ... What helps is that the Daily Media remote can also be used to control the already existing audio/video hardware in the living room, so "one box in and 2,3 or 4 remote controls out".
- Focus. Perhaps the box can do a little too much to make it sellable?
- Exclusivity. Any distribution deal may alienate other potential partners in a specific geographical market. The same would apply if the company would sell itself to KPN, to its erstwhile Siamese twin TNT or to a large retail banking group - to name a few thinkable options.
To round off, here is what I particularly like:
- The box promises to be truly plug & play and converges several other boxes and remote controls.
- Low cost for consumers and operator partners. This is basically the result of distribution partners and advertisers coming on board, taking a big chunk of the cost.
- There are no regional boundaries. Daily Media could be sold anywhere, provided they have a distribution partner.
- New operators such as Reggefiber or bbned/Alice (both involved in FTTH in the Netherlands) could team with UCD to extend their content offering. This would raise their chance of winning against entrenched cable operators.
- KPN could forgo the development of its ill-fated IPTV offering and simply quit that game altogether. Instead, a Daily Media box with DTT tuner could allow KPN to offer basic TV and some pay-TV of Digitenne (at the highest available quality), enhanced with all the Daily Media stuff (which has a somewhat lower picture quality). In fact, an alternative could be to accept CATV channels to enter the box too (outside the network or commercial reach of Digitenne). KPN could look at that as a form of traffic off-loading – comparable to what femtocells do for mobile-only operators (in-home traffic off-loaded to the subscriber's broadband connection). Another possibility may be to deploy Daily Media in a closed setting, to improve its performance (in terms of picture quality and stability).
- CATV operators could integrate their STB in the Daily Media box (or vice versa). A single box and a single remote control would be great for consumers.

Tamzin Outhwaite fractures foot
- Bang Showbiz
- 2 March 2017
Tamzin Outhwaite has been forced to pull out of her West End show 'Stepping Out' because she's fractured her foot
Tamzin Outhwaite has fractured her foot.
The 46-year-old actress - known for playing Melanie Owen in 'EastEnders' from 1998 until 2002 - has been forced to temporarily pull out of her West End show 'Stepping Out', in which she plays Marvis, at London's Vaudeville Theatre because of her injury.
Taking to her Instagram account on Wednesday (01.03.17) night, the blonde beauty uploaded a photograph of her foot in a brace with crutches perched on her thigh.
A few hours later she admitted that she was "heartbroken" that her painful foot meant that she couldn't join the rest of the cast - including Amanda Holden - on stage for the first preview at the beautiful theatre and was, instead, watching from the stalls.
She said: "This brilliant cast are doing their 1st preview tonight... they are all amazing and am heartbroken not to be up there with them. Have a ball my friends."
Producers confirmed that Katie Verner will be stepping in for Tamzin this week and Anna-Jane Casey will take over the role next week until the star is ready to return.
The statement said: "Anna-Jane Casey - Stepping In for Tamzin Outhwaite. . In an unfortunate twist of fate, Tamzin Outhwaite has been forced to temporarily withdraw from the production with a stress fracture of her foot. Stepping into Ms Outhwaite's tap shoes until she has been given the medical all clear to rejoin her friends in the production will be Anna-Jane Casey (West Side Story, Chicago and Billy Elliot), who will temporarily join the cast from next week. Prior to Anna-Jane's debut, the role will be played by Katie Verner. . 'It is sad to lose Tamzin,' says Amanda Holden. 'It is ironic and, of course, in keeping with the theme of the show in many ways. However we can assure everyone who comes a fun and entertaining evening and we can't wait to get started with the previews. We look forward to Tamzin returning very soon. (sic)"
It's not known how Tamzin hurt her foot or when she'll return to the stage.

Boy: Mira, mamá, casi me lo aprendo entero.
(Through the corner of my eye I see he has a sheet with what I imagine are lyrics.)
Send them your heart /So they'll know that someone cares /And their lives will be stronger and free /As God has shown us by turning stone to bread /So we all must lend a helping hand. In choppy English.
Mother: Pués si que lo escriben distinto a como lo pronuncian.
When you're down and out /There seems no hope at all /But if you just believe /There's no way we can fall /Well, well, well, well, let us realize /That a change will only come /When we stand together as oneSomewhere somebody laughs.

how is the price determined
Testicular Prosthesis Price
- 22 January 2019
- Posted by: Testicular Prosthesis
- Category: Genel
Most men experience testicular problems. Especially people who have pain in their testicles are afraid of this situation. There are two small organs in the testes and the absence of one or both of them is called as vanishing testis syndrome or undescended testis. Undescended testes are usually recognized after birth. Although this situation does not cause serious problems in the person, the psychological effect of the patient is vanishing with the effect of testicular syndrome. People who experience this state think that this creates a deficiency in themselves, and they can be absorbed by reflecting this on their sexual life. Therefore, people who have vanishing testis syndrome should investigate the treatment methods developed for this disease. In this case, embarrassment may occur in patients and also they can be nervous. However, this condition can be treated with testicular prosthesis.
Problems occurring at birth or later in their testicles may cause serious conditions for men. Therefore, those who think surgery will be involved in a serious investigation about the prices of testicular prosthesis surgery. Testicular implants provide patient satisfaction with cosmetic advantages. For this reason, the type of testicular prosthesis to be used in the surgery is indicative for the prices of testicular prosthesis surgery. Prices vary according to the type and size of the prosthesis to be implanted. Although the testis implant is a determinant of the price of the testis prosthesis, it is applied only to provide cosmetic appearance and does not perform a natural testis function. The patients are given this detail at the very beginning.
