The Dangers of Plastic Surgery Gone Wrong

By Trina Rowde

Online data about plastic surgery can be confusing sometimes because there are people who adamantly believe in the safety of plastic surgery. Others however simply enjoy splashing pages with details of plastic surgery gone wrong. Is the idea of plastic surgery gone wrong really fact or fiction?

Plastic Surgery

There are some cases where people have to undergo reconstructive surgery to save their lives and their body's functions. Even such a critical procedure however requires patient consent. Since cosmetic surgery is not a matter of life and death, it is generally more elective than reconstructive surgery and has been the subject of a lot of plastic surgery gone wrong sites. Perhaps more and more people are wondering why others volunteer to put their bodies in danger.

Practitioners of plastic surgery would, of course, tell you that modern plastic surgery has perfected the procedure. Numerous capable practitioners really do great jobs that generally satisfy patients. It is still a fact however that plastic surgery gone wrong pictures still circulate online. It is also a fact that there are actually law firms that specialize in bad plastic surgery. What does this tell you? If some lawyers see this as a lucrative area to set their sights on then plastic surgery gone wrong is still very much a reality. The figures say too that one in four people have had some bad surgical reaction or experience.

What Can Go Wrong

Let's give plastic surgery supporters the benefit of the doubt. Granting that plastic surgery gone wrong episodes are rare and isolated, you would still be most unfortunate if you became the rare recipient of incorrect procedures.

It cannot be denied that possible risks are damaging to the individual. In minor cases you may just have to bear prolonged bruising or swelling. More serious problems however can also happen which may just include some of the following:

- Leakage or hardening of implants - Reactions to medicine or anesthesia - Slippage of implants - Drooping, disproportionate or asymmetrical breasts - Extensive scarring and possibly disfigurement - Too much skin removed - Death - Nerve, tissue, muscle or organ damage

What Happens After

Consequently, it would lead to more medical bills and more absences from work. You might also have to run after the doctor responsible for your plastic surgery gone wrong episode and the legal battle could be inconvenient, costly and long. The worst thing that could happen is that you might end up looking worse than before the surgery and your new look could be permanent. Although the physical pain may eventually diminish, the emotional pain can drag on for a long time.

What You Can Do

Common sense should tell you that major surgery should take a backseat to natural methods. Try the natural way of trying to get a better appearance and resort only to surgery if all else fails.

Look for a certified plastic surgeon with vast experiences on the field. A certification is the best way to ensure that your doctor has had the necessary number of years of training in plastic surgery and has passed the required exams.

The Human Neck " Part Three

By Jonathan Blood Smyth

The reduction in neck mobility exposes the capsules, fibrous bags around the joints, of the facet joints to traumatic stretching events. Turning the neck suddenly without conscious thought can push the joints to the limits of their movements, injuring the fibres of the capsular ligamentous tissues. This produces joint pain and scarring with increased capsular tightness as the healing process proceeds, making the joints tighter and less willing again to tolerate stresses. As the tight joints can occur in several parts of the neck this can cause a limitation of joint motion which doesn't become apparent until one day you find you can't turn your neck as you expect to.

Facet arthropathy causes pain from several sources: the local pain from the abnormal facet joint itself; referred pain from this source and the resulting muscle spasm. The joint pain itself is fairly closely localised and may sometimes be felt by one's own fingers as a tight lump. Referred pain is often felt as an ache which is difficult to clearly define, its just an annoyingly vague but troubling pain in the arm, shoulder or thoracic area. These symptoms can eventually become important and disturb sleep, which has knock-on effects such as tiredness, irritability, increased muscle tenderness, anxiety and depression.

The facet joint can suffer a sudden, painful and relatively minor injury resulting in what is called an acute wry neck, perhaps from vigorous hair drying with a towel, jarring oneself or looking suddenly round to one side. If we sleep in an odd position for a while we can also wake up with this neck pain problem. The onset is usually quick and unexpected as our facet joint locks as the movement surprises our controlling muscular systems, perhaps spraining the easily irritated facet joint capsule or pinching the synovial membrane between the surfaces. Sudden, intense neck pain from this induces strong spasm of the neck muscles and secondary pain.

The result for the patient of an acute wry neck is usually a severe, mostly one-sided neck pain and significant limitation of movements. Muscle spasm may be very severe and the head may be held at an unusual angle or part way into a movement to one side. The person guards their movements very carefully and moves slowly, desperately trying to avoid a sudden movement which will cause an increase in the compressive forces of muscle spasm and so the severe pain. Getting into bed at night or getting up in the morning can be very difficult with holding the head with the hands to cope as the muscles attempt to stabilise the neck.

Early manipulation of a locked cervical facet joint by a chiropractor, osteopath or manipulative physiotherapist can release the joint, perhaps by gapping the joint surfaces, releasing the trapped membrane or by allowing the joint to realign. Typically the recovery period takes longer, with a few days of painkillers and anti-inflammatories needed before the pain begins to settle down and movement starts to return. Joint mobilisations, a less forceful technique than manipulation, are very useful to ensure the joint does not harbour any long-lasting movement abnormalities which could predispose to recurrence or perpetuation of neck pain.

A fast onset of neck pain is not always due to facet lock but can, with a gradual onset taking several days, be indicative of a disc related or inflammation related nerve root insult. An initial facet joint injury may in some cases not settle down well, allowing fluid to collect around the nerve root exit from the spinal canal which slowly thickens and forms into scar tissue and can stick down the nerve to the surrounding structures. Tethering the nerve exposes it to risk of injury due to the fact that nerves are very sensitive to stretch in particular, which can result in an agonising pain syndrome developing in the shoulder, arm and neck.

Although neck pain may not be the major presenting part of the problem, patients often indicate there were some warning signs from their neck previously, with the neck or arm being less predictable and reliable on various activities. The precipitating reason for the full syndrome may be something small, just in the right direction to stress the nerve.

Handling Frustrations

By Michael Angier

"I'm sooo frustrated!" These words-or something perhaps even more colorful-are things we've all said at one time or another. Several times over the past few days, I said them myself-at least in my head.

We recently incorporated a new computer into our network, and it raised all kinds of havoc. An installation that should have taken only a few hours turned into a three-day exercise in aggravation and frustration.

In our recent experience, my wife and I dealt with it better than we thought we would have. We never lost our patience with one another, and we were never rude to each other or the people we worked with in resolving the problems.

As I look at what happened, I can see things that allowed us to get through the installation with no upset. Here are what I see as the key strategies we used-although not perfectly-to avoid being victims of the experience.

Emotional Bank Accounts One of the things that made our recent ordeal more bearable was that my wife and I had high balances in our respective "emotional bank accounts." When these bank balances are low, the little things can easily become big things. Little "forgotten" resentments can turn into major issues. By making daily deposits into our emotional bank accounts with people we're close to, we can avoid having unneces-sary upsets make a difficult situation hurtful.

Ask Good Questions When we get frustrated, it's easy to ask fruitless, impotent questions-questions that exacerbate the situation rather than improve upon it. Questions like, "Why did this happen to me?" "Why is life so unfair?" "Why are people so unreasonable?" are the kind of questions that keep us stuck and feeling unresourceful. We need to ask questions that move us forward. Keep asking, "What's really important?"

Stay Focused-Identify the Problem In the midst of a crisis (whether perceived or real), it's easy to lose our focus. We have to keep coming back to what the problems are and what we can do to solve them.

As the experience and drama unfolds, stay with the intended result and keep redefining the problem.

Take a Break It's important to take breaks. Don't become obsessed with the problem(s) and keep at it without any let-up. We can't be at our best when we operate non-stop without a chance to step back and gain some perspective-and rest.

Stop. Get some exercise. Take a walk. Work out. Take a nap. Watch a movie. You'll be surprised how much more resourceful you can be. In the whole scheme of things, how much difference will a few minutes (or hours) make?

Remember to breathe. As someone once said, "Inspiration is the art of breathing in."

Perspective Keep in mind that frustration is an emotional reaction. It doesn't happen "out there," it happens inside us. And we have choice about whether we indulge it.

Be aware. Notice when you're feeling frustrated. Don't judge it. Blaming ourselves or others will not work. Ninety percent of overcoming the problem is your conscious awareness that you're stressed. Ask yourself, "In three years' time, will this situation be worth being upset?" Chances are, it won't.

Laugh We stress ourselves out by taking things too seriously. Being serious doesn't mean we have to be grim. Learn to laugh at yourself as well as the situation. The things that seem upsetting now will usually be things we'll find humorous later. If we're going to laugh about it then, we might as well laugh about it now.

Get Help Going through any challenging situation is more bearable and often more fun when we experience it with a friend or team member. Ask for help. Where is it written that you need to go it alone?

What was the end result of that week's computer fiasco? Well, one of our publications was delayed two days, and it's doubtful anyone noticed. We learned a lot. And, we ended up with a better system than we'd originally planned because we exchanged the first computer for a better one.

Benefits of Quitting Television

By Set Sar

Remember when television sets were huge and had little screens? I had one of those big wooden ones with the dial to change the channel. It was great. Times are changing fast and technology is always improving. HD tv's and 300 plus channel subscriptions are not unfamiliar now. I made the decision to quit television. It was time to give it up.

I transitioned well. My girlfriend, however had a pretty rough time. She was addicted to MTV's lineup of FAKE reality tv shows like The Hills, Leguna Beech and all those other crap. "The Real World"? Ha! That title alone fails. I later found out that she was still watching her shows online via Hulu.com. I come to find out that News Corp, the same people behind Fox owns Hulu. Wow. She argues that I spend a lot of time on the computer and while this is true, I can choose where, when, and what I read to an extent. I spend most of my time reading and listening to music and I've noticed that I sometimes get an "information overload." I've learned so much on so many different subjects.

Since quitting tv, I started eating healthier and I got into shape. I also had found a new hobby in motorized bicycles. It's nice having so much free time. Now I wonder why I didn't quit sooner.

Quitting tv has lead me deeper into politics. I love learning how the world works even if it gets me mad. I have since learned to question the world and how things are. I do not like to follow the crowd and I see patterns in different facets of life.

I read that television can have a hypnotizing effect of people watching it. Sometimes, I turn the tv on even when I don't feel like watching anything. It almost feels like I need it to be on. Like an addiction. I read that "alpha waves" are emitted by the tube and these waves can be visible with the help of a video camera. It shows then as horizontal lines moving up and down.

They say these alpha waves move faster during key events like commercials and such. Maybe they are trying to hypnotize us more to make us consumer zombies. It's definitely interesting to think about. I guess that's why we get sudden cravings for certain foods that we just saw on tv. It could be subliminal or both.

Finally, I noticed that time seems to fly by while watching television. Not just minutes and hours, but months! Spending 8 hours a day watching television while multi-tasking and the hours just fly. Eating, doing homework, anything really. You wonder where all that time went and what happened to it. Even though it's only been about 5 months since I have stopped watching television, it feels so much longer. Years even. The information you absorb doing other things make it seem like you are spending more time than you actually are. It's a good feeling. It's the feeling of productivity. Quitting television has been great. I have so much free time now. I have gotten my body into shape and I am learning thing's I have always wanted to do but never had "time" for.

C Programming Career Courses - UK Described

By Jason Kendall

Anybody thinking about training for the IT sector will soon realise that there are a diverse range of courses available to them. Prior to getting started, seek out a training company that has advisors, so you can be educated on the type of work your course will lead you to. You may well discover job roles you didn't know about. Training ranges from Microsoft User Skills to Databases, Programming, Networking and Web Design. There is a huge amount of choice and so it's probably best to talk through your options with an industry expert before you confirm the course you want: the last thing you want to do is learn about a subject for a job you'd actually hate!

By keeping costs to a minimum, computer training providers can now offer contemporary courses that feature outstanding training and guidance for much less than is asked for by more out-dated organisations.

Many folks don't catch on to what information technology is doing for all of us. It is stimulating, innovative, and means you're doing your bit in the gigantic wave of technology affecting everyones lives in the 21st century. We're barely starting to understand how all this change will affect us. The way we interrelate with the rest of the world will be inordinately affected by technology and the web.

A regular IT employee throughout Britain can demonstrate that they get considerably more money than his or her counterpart outside of IT. Standard IT wages are hard to beat nationally. It's no secret that there is a great UK-wide demand for trained and qualified IT technicians. It follows that as growth in the industry shows little sign of contracting, it appears this pattern will continue for the significant future.

Those that are drawn to this type of work are often very practical, and don't always take well to classrooms, and endless reading of dry academic textbooks. If this is putting you off studying, go for more modern interactive training, where learning is video-based. Studies have consistently confirmed that becoming involved with our studies, to utilise all our senses, is much more conducive to long-term memory.

Top of the range study programs now offer interactive CD and DVD ROM's. Instructor-led tutorials will mean you'll learn your subject by way of the demonstrations and explanations. Knowledge can then be tested by interacting with the software and practicing yourself. It's wise to view examples of the courseware provided before you purchase a course. The minimum you should expect would be videoed instructor demonstrations and a variety of audio-visual and interactive sections.

Choose disc based courseware (On CD or DVD) where possible. Thus avoiding all the issues associated with the variability of broadband quality and service.

Beware of putting too much emphasis, as many people do, on the training course itself. Training is not an end in itself; you're training to become commercially employable. Stay focused on what it is you want to achieve. It's common, for example, to obtain tremendous satisfaction from a year of studying and then spend 20 miserable years in a tiresome job role, simply because you did it without the correct research when it was needed - at the start.

It's essential to keep your focus on what it is you're trying to achieve, and formulate your training based on that - avoid getting them back-to-front. Stay on target and study for a job you'll still be enjoying many years from now. Seek guidance and advice from a skilled professional, even if you have to pay a small fee - it's much safer and cheaper to discover early on if something is going to suit and interest you, instead of discovering after two full years that the job you've chosen is not for you and have to return to the start of another program.

Think about the following facts and pay great regard to them if you think that over-used sales technique about examination guarantees seems like a good idea:

Obviously it isn't free - you're still coughing up for it - it's just been included in your package price. It's well known in the industry that when trainees fund their relevant examinations, one after the other, they will be much more likely to pass first time - since they're aware of their payment and therefore will put more effort into their preparation.

Don't you think it's more sensible to not pay up-front, but when you take the exam, instead of paying a premium to the training college, and to take it closer to home - instead of miles away at the college's beck and call? Huge profits are secured by a significant number of organisations that incorporate exam fees into the cost of the course. For quite legitimate reasons, a number of students don't get to do their exams and so the company is quids-in. Surprising as it sounds, there are training companies who rely on that fact - and that's how they increase their profits. Most companies will require you to sit pre-tests and not allow you to re-take an exam until you've demonstrated an excellent ability to pass - which makes an 'Exam Guarantee' frankly useless.

Prometric and VUE exams are approximately 112 pounds in the UK. What's the point of paying huge 'Exam Guarantee' fees (usually wrapped up in the course package price) - when good quality study materials, the proper support and a commitment to studying and the use of authorised exam preparation tools are actually the key to your success.

Throw out a salesman who recommends a training program without a decent chat so as to understand your abilities as well as level of experience. Ensure that they have a generous array of training so they can give you an appropriate solution. With some commercial experience or certification, you may find that your starting point is not the same as someone new to the industry. Consider starting with some basic user skills first. This can help whip your basic knowledge into shape and make the learning curve a much easier going.

Purchasing The Right Weight Management Products

By Michael Skatoli

The management of weight problems and weight loss products and programs have grown into a huge industry in the last few years and it is only getting bigger by the day. The big problem is that there are such a large number of weight reduction products on the market, all promising dramatic solutions, that it is hard to figure out which ones may be most suitable for you.

It is believed that as much as fifty-five billion dollars is spent on weight reduction products and weight loss programs in the United States annually. The choice of weight management products available is quite staggering. They vary from pills, ointments, diet supplements, exercise machines, CDs, creams and rings to clothes and books. Undoubtedly, many of these products will be genuinely helpful, while others will not. The trick is finding the right ones.

Everyone would prefer a quick and easy solution when it comes to weight loss. A lot of supplements will promise dramatic results with little or no healthy eating or exercise. It is unlikely that these will deliver on that promise, and if they do they may be dangerous to your health.

Nevertheless, there are a lot of genuinely helpful supplements on the market that, with the aid of a healthy diet and regular exercise, will help you achieve your weight loss goals. A good way to commence is to check out which supplements are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). There are a lot of fully approved over-the-counter supplements that will help in your fight against obesity.

It is also wise to consult your doctor. There are plenty of prescription weight loss drugs that, with the right supervision, can help you achieve your goals.

However, if possible, it might be advisable to shun supplements and drugs completely and lose weight the healthy and natural way - that is by eating the right food and getting plenty of exercise. This method might take more effort and commitment, but it is more sustainable and rewarding in the long run.

There is no shortage of weight loss products to help you if you decide to go down this road. Exercise machines, stair masters or cycling machines are a great way to begin. Or if you are feeling a bit more adventurous, you could buy some jogging gear and hit the streets.

In addition, a visit to your favourite bookstore or Amazon might be a good choice. Self-help books aren't for everyone but a good one might help motivate you and help you focus on the task ahead. Check to see what the best selling books on weight loss are at the moment, and purchase a few healthy eating books while you're at it.

The best weight loss products for your needs will depend on your personality, your preferences, your aims and a number of other factors. Consult your GP and try to find a plan that works for you and then decide what weight loss products you need.

What Does Freemasonry Teach? Guide To Freemasonary

By Simon Gray

There are several individuals who are interested in becoming a Mason but just aren?t sure how to go about it. To begin with, they must first reach the criteria that they set out. This means that they must be sound in mind and body. This is the term used from the old day and is not literal as it applied to the current Freemasons. Then they must of course be male. He must have a good background and a belief in God. (This is dependant on the Lodge, some say God other say Supreme Being). There are several informal requirements as well. The candidate?s personal beliefs are important . He must believe in the importance of helping his fellow man. Must have a respect for what others think whether he agrees with them or not. Finally, he must have the desire to excel in his good qualities.

It would seem that one of the rules of being a Mason is that you are not allowed to ask others to join. There is no recruiting for this Fraternity. They stipulate they have reasons for this and that is because being a Mason is a new way of life that should not be pushed upon another. It must be a voluntary act. They feel that recruiting would be pressuring. If one wants to attempt at joining he must ask for an application. It gets filled out then given to a Mason who will present it to his Lodge.

Then the Master of the Lodge arranges for a group of members to visit the applicant and his family to learn about his background and his reasons for wanting to become a Mason. This information is then taken back to the lodge where a vote takes place on whether to accept the applicant. It he has received a positive vote then he will be notified as to a date for the entered apprentice degree. He now will have two other degrees to complete after this one, which will take him to the position of Master mason.

If you were to ask a Mason to define himself, he would tell you that his priority is to feel good about himself. He cares about all facets of time being past, present, and future. His goal is to make the world a better place to live in. This seems to be a never-ending journey so when does the Mason get to come to feel he truly is a Mason. It would seem that when he reaches the point that he can enjoy all that the world contains and accepts that he is only a small part of the scheme of the world and as accepted all that the Masons stand for then he can truly call himself a Mason.

It would seem that the Masons whole belief is becoming the perfect man. It is an ongoing challenge that they strive towards everyday. One wonders if they believe that it?s possible for man to reach that point, and if so, has there ever been such a being in their organization that has accomplished this. Would they place their Grand Master as such a person?

Parasites on Dogs

By Owen Jones

You really need to destroy heart worm, fleas and other parasites in dogs whenever it becomes apparent that your dog is infected by using the relevant treatment on them. Loads of products are available to protect our dogs from heart worms, fleas and other parasites like hook worms, whip worms, round worms, lice, ticks etc.

Of the heart worms, fleas and other parasites, fleas can produce a hyper sensitive reaction in the infected animal. Animals infected with fleas scratch their skin very vigorously. Frequently the scratching becomes so severe that the skin becomes super-sensitive and dermatitis occurs in the scratched areas.

The consequences of a serious flea infestation is often that your dog can not lie down for long or sleep properly due to the constant flea bites. So, your dog appears to have some severe skin disease. If the the animal is not properly attended to for these flea bites, there could be a secondary bacterial attack in these sites and there may even be a rotten smell coming from the affected area of your dog's skin.

You have to inspect your pet closely in order prevent a serious outbreak of fleas. However, it is essential to avoid such a serious outbreak as they are extremely upsetting to your dog. Similarly, the skin of the animal needs to be checked regularly for the presence of ticks and lice. In order to do this effectively, you need to inspect the dog's skin by separating the dog's hairs. The easiest way to achieve this is by slowly back-combing or ruffling the animal's hair.

Usually, if your dog is anaemic, and he is not infested with fleas, you need to rule out hookworm. Symptoms of hookworm are anaemia, loose stools and a pot belly. The dog's owner may notice these symptoms themselves, however, to be honest, the dog needs to undergo a routine health examination at the vet's involving faecal and hematological tests.

There are many commercial products on the market. Some of which are useful for dealing with all these conditions by a single dose. Drugs like ivermectin are highly effective and are available in injection, oral and solution forms. The latter should be applied directly to the skin. These drugs can lead to the prevention of the above conditions too.

Therefore, the best strategy to follow is to keep a keen eye on your dog. This could easily be carried out at bath time or / and when you are grooming him. You can use an anti-flea and anti-tick shampoo, which will keep these pests under control, if used regularly. Couple this with a regular grooming with a lice comb and a flea collar should keep your pet lice, tick and flea free.

Bad Credit Visa Card

By Jennifer Ryans

If you speak to more than a few people in your world, you will hear stories of how they have found themselves in financial trouble. It may have been trying to live beyond their income level but it could have also been job loss, illness, or some other catastrophic event.

If you are one of the unfortunate, then rebuilding your financial history has become a priority. You might be asking this question: "The reason my history is ruined is because of credit cards so why would I apply for another to fix it?"

While that is a legitimate question, the answer is may be simple: In order to rebuild your history you often have to start with small steps and create some positive marks before bigger loans are available. If you are looking to get a bad credit Visa, you will probably be approved for a secured card.

These require you to have a balance in a special account held by the issuing bank. The balance in that account is equal to the limit on your card.

These accounts have perks to help you. First, all it will report your positive payment history to the three major reporting agencies. Next, many offer educational articles, podcasts, and seminars to teach you how to better manage your money.

Another card that is often used are prepaid. These allow you to directly deposit money and use your card to make purchases.

This will give you the purchasing power to; reserve airline tickets, rent a car or book travel lodgings. Having access to a major credit card makes the act of paying or reserving a product or service much easier.

To find the right choice for you, do as much comparison shopping as you can. There is no absence of prepaid accounts without an annual fee but if you look at a secured or unsecured account, the fees may be quite high.

In addition many of the sub prime lenders have stopped lending. This is primarily due to the credit crisis.

How To Recover From A Broken Heart

By Anne Torres

Healing a broken heart

Sometimes your life goes to puddle, and there's nothing you can do about it. He or she, appears to be oblivious to what they are missing out on. Besides this, you've opened your fragile heart and they've it to bits. This occurs, and, its the worst feeling on earth.

So, besides precluding it, which I talk about allot in this book which is little comfort for you now, what are you going to do about it? The first thing is to cut yourself some slack, give yourself some time out from work and get busy doing something on your own. Depression seeps into our bones if we let it, and that's the last thing you want right now.

The second thing is not to embarrass yourself by begging and scraping. Acknowledge to yourself that they are just not into you, and that it's finished. Hanging on just makes it worse, the best chance you've got for getting them back is leaving them alone and getting on with your life, getting happy over again. To do this, you'll need to know how.

To let someone go, you have to admit how much you love them. That's the opposite to most therapies and self help books. Instead of trying to jam it up your ex, or turn them into a frog, love more. You'll be so surprised how easy it is and how effective. You just need to separate NEEDING them from LOVING them.

Needing your ex is a huge difference to loving them. The minute we say "gee I miss so and so" we've dropped into the hungry vulture phase in heart break.

Some people spend their whole lives picking at the carcass of their dead past relationship, wishing it would re start. Needing someone, is nice and intimate while you are committed to each other, but when and if it breaks, you have to take that neediness back.

Stylish Country Home Decor

By Gail Jones

Your house is finally clean and tidy and you sit down and put your feet up for a minute with a nice cup of coffee by the side of you and you pick away at your cake. You feel tired but it's that good kind of weariness when you know you've done a hard day's work and you have no regrets about it. A feeling of contentment settles on you and you look around you with satisfaction.

A magazine lies in front of you appealingly within reach and you give in and pull it to you, intent on enjoying a well-deserved rest. The top cover story jumps out at you, entitled 'Country Home Decor'. Naturally you flip through eagerly to that very section, you had only just read an article on some stylish country home decor about converting a house into a small country retreat in another magazine and it had greatly interested you.

There is page after page of the magazine filled with what can only be categorized as the most perfect examples of country home decor you can imagine. You gaze longingly at the various styles and furnishings you see gracing the magazine's pages. A quick look up from your magazine assures you that your own modest home hasn't changed somehow into one of those lovely country homes you were just looking at.

A sad sigh passes your lips at the realization and so you go back to reading your magazine article. You had never thought that you were the type of person who could live with the country home decor style but now upon reflection you think you just might be able to.

Now without your even realising it, you begin marking the pages that fascinate you the most, doing small mental calculations on how best to achieve the same effect but on the smaller budget that you have to spend. After all, it just wouldn't do to spring for that lovely Welsh dresser and have to go without your freshly ground whole bean coffee, would it?

However, you could definitely buy that beautiful table runner without any problem. And if you donated all those modern chrome coffee mugs and dinner sets to charity you wouldn't really be splurging, would you, since you would've done your best for charity and given them all these things unselfishly?

And what about exchanging those flashy blinds for something that's a bit more in the country home decor style. And while you're going about it, perhaps you could even swap that ugly lampshade you got as a house-warming gift for something a little more country.

The only thing that is left for you to do now is to sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labours and gaze with beaming pride upon your newly redecorated home. Furnished, naturally enough, in the best country home decor style that you could gain from every source that you came across, like that first magazine which spurred it all off way back then.

Heartbroken Poem To Help You Heal From The Break Up

By Cherry Wilkinson

If you have ever been thru a sad break-up with someone you've love, you may have written a sad poem. You will have even written such a poem for stuff like the loss of a pet or a family member, unhappiness at moving away from your chums, or any amount of sad life events. But it appears nothing inspires such unhappy poetry as a break up or divorce. Just as few things evoke love poetry like being in a cheerful, loving relationship.

Poetry is an excellent medium for self-expression. Unless you are creating poetry with the hope of having it made public one day, you can write poetry however you like. It doesn't have to be good poetry. You do not have to understand any of the poetic terms or conventions like rhyme, meter or free verse. You do not even have ever read a really good poem in your life to scribble a sad poem that will help you feel better and perhaps help you heal from the pain of a break-up.

An vital early step in getting over a break-up or any sad situation is just facing the pain. While it might feel better to avoid dealing with the reality of the situation, you cannot truly move past it without facing it and feeling the discomfort, at least for a while. So facing up to whatever painful situation is occurring is necessary. A sad poem can help you deal with those painful feelings when you've split with somebody you like.

Don't fret about whether it's good or not. No one else ever has to read your heartbroken poem. It's for you and you alone. Just write down your feelings, as hard as that may be. You can write in plain language. Don't try to imitate the poets of the 17th and 18th century. Write like you talk, and break the lines where it feels natural to you. Essentially, you can start by writing one large paragraph filled with all your feelings and everything you would like to express, just to get it out. Then you can go back and organize your thoughts and feelings into a poem.

Once you've written a heartbroken poem, you may want to scribble more about different parts of the agony. That is good. Get down everything you can, which will help you to face the agony. Writing the poetry will probably be a very emotional time for you. Don't try to stop it. Just let the agony out and you'll be better able to move on.

If you decide you would like to share your sad poem, you can show family or friends. Or if you need to share it but not with anyone you know, you can put it online. There are websites designed just for such things. You can upload your poetry for free and let other people know if you need to receive criticism or not. You could choose to not receive comments on your sad poem and just enjoy the fact that you've shared your experience.

Methods In Getting Back Together With Your Ex

By Anne Torres

If you just newly experienced a break up the biggest question you may have is "how can I get back together with my ex?" This is frequently the most common question people ask themselves.

Usually what you are most tempted to do right after a breakup are the worst actions you can take. For example, you may want to constantly call your ex to beg them to take you back. Not a good idea! Or you may want to just wallow in your pain and cry all the time. This is also not in your best interests. Bugging your ex with constant phone calls or text messages will only drive them away. And being an emotional mess is also a turn off for your ex.

Here are three tips to take so that you can learn how to get back together with your ex.

1 - Acknowledge and accept the truth that you are broken up. Denying it has happened or not dealing with it will only extend your pain. Let your ex know that you are dealing with things and taking the steps to move on. This gives both you and your ex time to think in peace. Also this relieves a lot of the nervousness your ex may have about your feelings.

2 - Take a communications break. This may not seem to make sense initially but essentially you want your ex to have a chance to miss you. Also this gives them time to really think about your relationship and how much it means to them.

3 - Plan for your first post break up meeting. Once steps one and two have been done begin looking ahead to when you'll first meet up with your ex. Think about where and when you should meet and what you desire to say. Getting together this way will give you the information you require to know if you and your ex have an excellent chance of getting back together or not.

Research Review: What are the Predictors of a Good Response to Percutaneous Coronary Intervention?

By Pasquale Jacobs

CLINICAL QUESTION: what is the role of nuclear myocardial perfusion imaging in predicting an increase in exercise capacity after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)?

BACKGROUND: The Courage Trial found that there was no survival benefit to percutaneous coronary intervention over optimum medical therapy alone. However, in some patient subgroups, PCI was shown to have important quality of life benefits. Thus, there remains ambiguity over who should undergo PCI. It is important to note that PCI is not without risks. PCI in the past has been shown to have a risk of morbidity of about 0.25% and risk of mortality of about 0.20%.

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: Stress-rest myocardial perfusion scintigraphy has important prognostic ability to predict mortality, but can it also help predict just who will show the greatest benefit from PCI? Does MPS help forecast who will show an improved exercise capacity after PCI? In the UK, what is the prevalence of inducible ischemia in those patients who undergo a PCI procedure?

PATIENTS: Patients were mostly male (86%) and most (63%) but not all (37%) had stable angina. Patients were recruited prospectively from the a group of patients that had a positive diagnostic angiogram and were already scheduled to undergo an elective PCI procedure.

METHODS: Within one month before having their PCI procedure, patients in the study underwent stress-rest myocardial perfusion scintigraphy using a same day, single-isotope protocol using Tc-99m tetrofosmin. Treadmill exercise was utilized for the stress test as much as possible. The patient's New York Heart Association functional status was assessed, and all patients answered the Seattle Angina Questionnaire. The cardiologists that performed the PCI procedures were blinded as to the outcome of the stress-rest perfusion scan. None of the PCI procedures were canceled due to the results of the perfusion scan.

Then, at about 6 months after the PCI procedure, the patients returned for a follow-up evaluation. Functional status and clinical symptoms were determined. Those that had undergone treadmill stress testing at baseline underwent a repeat treadmill stress test using the same protocol, which was done at the same time of day. The clinical staff performing the treadmill ECG test were blinded as to the results of the patient's baseline treadmill test.

Scan images were evaluated quantitatively using the Cedars-Sinai AutoSPECT and AutoQuant programs. Semiquantitative analysis was performed using summed scoring with a 17 segment 5-point scale. There were two readers who looked at each patient study. The mean of the semiquantitative summed scores assigned by these two readers were used for statistical analysis.

RESULTS: A total of 123 patients were included in the study. Exercise ECG tests were positive for inducible ischemia in 7 out of 10 patients. A reversible perfusion defect affecting greater than 10% of the myocardium was present in only 1 out of 5 patients. About half of the patients had reversible perfusion defects that affected less than 10% of the myocardium, and a quarter of the patients did not have any reversible perfusion defects.

The patients then returned at 6 months for a follow-up evaluation. At this time, on average the patients showed an increase in exercise capacity and a decrease in physical limitations. The exercise capacity on average increased from 7 to 9 METS, which was statistically highly significant. However, the New York Heart Association functional class did not change in 62% of the patients, whereas it improved in 33%, and worsened in 5%.

Univariate and multivariate predictors of improvement were then assessed. The independent predictors of improvement identified were male gender, limiting chest pain on baseline exercise testing, and the degree of inducible hypoperfusion on nuclear myocardial perfusion imaging. These were all statistically significant on both univariate and multivariate analyses.

CONCLUSION: Of all patients undergoing elective PCI in this study, only a small minority had a reversible myocardial perfusion defect affecting 10% or more of the myocardium. Independent predictors of improvement after revascularization were male sex, limiting chest pain on exercise stress testing, and inducible hypoperfusion on myocardial perfusion scintigraphy.

Angel Tattoo Designs and Definition

By Anne Torres

Angel tattoos are very spiritual and symbolic. They are important in many religions, such as the Christian, Jewish and Islamic faiths. They are believed to be messengers of god, and protective, such as guardian angels. It is believed that the word Angel comes from the Greek language meaning "messenger".

Angel tattoos are popular with both women and men. On women, angel tattoos are considered to represent tranquility and calmness within, while on men an angel tattoo represents a connection with the higher self.

Popular Angel Tattoo Designs

Most Angel tattoo designs are of a beautiful winged figure, floating, sometimes sitting on a cloud or with clouds around, holding a harp, or trumpet. Angels are protective, so it is common for the angel to be hovering, representing their protective nature.

Another popular design is angel wings. These can be any size and placed just about anywhere.

Angels tattoo designs are also a popular way to pay tribute to a lost loved one. A person's face can be drawn into an angel design, so the wearer can keep their memory alive. Angel tattoo designs can also represent love and a connection with a loved one, especially if a love heart is linked with the angel. A common tattoo design nowadays, is for angels to be represented in the image of cupid.

The meaning of Angel Tattoo Designs

The most common meanings of Angel tattoos are spirituality, love and protection. Many tattoo designs are of angels hovering above to offer protection to something or someone. Angels are seen as messengers that connect the spiritual realm with the material realm, and do the work of God. Another common theme is the perennial struggle between good and evil in which Archangels are shown in battle. Angel tattoos can also just represent a connection with something higher than oneself.

Angel Tattoo Design sources

The key thing to think about when getting an Angel tattoo design (or any design for that matter) is to make sure you are entirely happy with the design. The best approach is to check out as many designs as you can to get ideas, and develop your own tattoo. It is not commended to choose a free tattoo off the internet because they are accessible to so many people.

Tattoo Ink Removal: Affordable Methods

By Eddie Harvey

Previous to laser treatment tattoo ink removal was done by destroying the skin containing the ink. The skin would be burned, frozen, or excised surgically. The use of Q-Switched lasers has effectively diminished the abrasive nature of tattoo removal with successful results and is now a commonly used method for tattoo removal.

What do you use to remove a tattoo? Aside from laser treatment surgery's, other popular methods include the use of ointments and creams in a systematic fashion.

Unfortunately, not all tattoos can be removed completely, but the majority can be. Tattoos are meant to be lasting and with current ink technology and qualified tattoo artists improving their skills, tattoos imprinted in the last decade are very hard to remove. Even with the best technique, some left over scarring may stay in a a small number of cases.

Tattoo removal lasers yield a gentle beam of light that is absorbed by particular color of the tattoo ink. The ink gets broken down into tiny particles which are gradually removed through the body's lymphatic system. The tattoo magically fades away with each consequent treatment.

A normal laser tattoo removal requires many treatments. Amature tattoos are easier to remove then professional, multicolor ones. Other factors that determine treatment efficacy include: Tattoo colors, the type of ink used and your body's individual response.

Dermabrasion, salabrasion, and excision were all prior methods used to remove tattoos and have been pretty much eliminated by laser technology. However, in a case in which laser/light removal is not an option, due to cost, etc., it might help to know about some other methods practiced for tattoo ink removal.

The same rules apply with other methods, but without the pain of surgery. Also, there are added advantages. No Appointments, no prescriptions, no laser goggles, no harsh burning, no dry needling, no surgery and most importantly, no large bills to pay...All in the privacy of your own home!

The other advantage is the breakdown of ink injected skin cells and the utilization of your skin's natural ability to heal and regenerate itself with healthy, new, ink-free skin cells.

Yesterdays young, single, brash, and tattooed are tomorrows middle aged, married, conformists getting tattoos removed. The permanent and unalterable fears of permanent tattoos are being removed by advance tattoo removal technology.

Most conventional tattoos can be removed, but even a simple, small, one-color tattoo can require several laser treatments at a cost of around $1,000. Removals of large, multicolored tattoos can require more than a dozen laser treatments and cost $5,000 or more. And no, laser tattoo removal is not covered by medical insurance.

So that has plenty of people searching for affordable, simple and non-painful tattoo ink removal methods. Those methods involve the use of ointments, and creams in easy to follow systems that get the same results as laser, but keeps thousands in your pocket.

Symptoms of High Blood Sugar

By Brian V Shortt

Symptoms of elevated blood sugar are very worthy to know for anyone who is a risk for diabetes or diseases connected to blood glucose levels that are out of range. Read this article to learn five notable signs of high blood glucose levels. While all of these symptoms collectively are not telltale signs of diabetes, they can alert you to a potential problem.

Signs of high blood sugar

1) Fatigue Fatigue occurs once your the glucose in your body is not properly being converted to energy. The conclusion is that the loss of energy in your body makes you tired.

2) Increased urination When there is surplus blood glucose in the bloodstream, and the body cannot convert the blood sugar to energy, it is processed through the urinary tract. Increased urination can be a symptom of high blood sugar and is commonly a result of the person consuming more fluids due to increased thirst.

3) Vaginal Yeast Infections (in women) Increased glucose levels additionally affects the urinary tract. Not merely is yeast infection a sign of high concentration of blood glucose, someone with high glucose levels in their body is also at danger for urinary tract infections, kidney infections, as well as kidney stones.

4) Increased Thirst This is due to the brain's response to the surplus sugar. It reacts by making the body thirsty so that the bloodstream can be watered down, resulting in an attempt to lower the blood sugar concentration.

5) Blurred Vision Blurred vision as a result of increased glucose levels can lead to more serious diseases of the eye such as diabetic retinopathy which results from damage to the retinal blood vessels from prolonged periods of extreme blood sugar.

Observe that these symptoms of high blood glucose may or may not occur in any combination. The root cause of these signs is that the surplus glucose in the bloodstream has thickened, resulting in various organs responding to the excess sugar.

Untreated elevated glucose levels (or hyperglycemia can result) can result in the hardening of the arteries due to the excess levels of glucose in the blood which causes harm to vessels. The longer the signs of high blood sugar go unchecked, the more likely damage that is done to one's organs (and body). The good news also is that if you are able to get your blood glucose levels under control, you may be able to reverse any adverse affects that prolonged periods of high blood sugar have had on your body.

By Ronald Smithson

If you have acne on you " or those big, red pimples on your face, or maybe even your upper arms or your back; you are not alone. This may not believe this, but there are plenty of people suffering from the same skin condition and like you, they have also tested every trick in the book " rather unsuccessfully unfortunately.

Introducing ADHD Test

By Anne Durrell

Indentifying ADHD is generally done with an ADHD test. It has nothing to do with any blood test since ADHD is a mental disease, so it is not diagnosable through basic medical tests.

The American Psychiatric Association

The Association of American Psychiatric or APA has made a list of fourteen behavioral checkpoints to test for ADHD. According to the APA checklist, a kid must show at least eight of the checkpoints to be diagnosed with ADHD.

Problems with ADHD Behavioral Observation Tests

There are a lot of kids who are misdiagnosed as having ADHD. One of the main logic that ADHD is often misdiagnosed is that identifying is purely observational as well as therefore subjective.

The person giving the test may be less able to tolerate certain behavior than another would be and may mark it as a problem when someone else would consider it normal. For this reason, ADHD testing is often done as a collaborative effort where parents, teachers and doctors all give their opinions about a child's behavior.

It is also common for parents to believe their child has ADHD simply because they are with them often and common ADHD behaviors can be difficult to deal with. A child can only be considered to have a problem when they are displaying a symptom frequently on a regular basis.

Example of ADHD Test

Below are the examples of checklist items that would be found on a special ADHD test:

* Is not diligent at school

* Family history of ADHD or ADD, other learning problems or substance abuse

* Easily sidetracked

* Does not pay attention to detail.

* Plain writing

* Poor listening skills

* Forgetfulness

* Troubles learning new things

* Appear impatient

* Nervous or anxious behavior

* Cannot communicate well

* Controlling impulses trouble

* Easily getting bored

* Careless speaking

* Impatient

* Makes careless mistakes

* Unorganized
