Brittle nails are usually not associated with a medical disease. Brittle fingernails are a common condition, occurring in about 20 % of people; more women than men develop brittle nails. 1 Brittle nails usually break or peel off in horizontal layers, starting at the nail's free end. Brittleness in the nail may be caused by trauma, such as repeated wetting and drying, repeated exposure to detergent

I've seen a number of comments, both at The Oil Drum and elsewhere, suggesting that the US is now less susceptible to supply disruptions because we have reduced our demand for oil by several hundred thousand barrels per day over the past year. In general, I get the sense that people think we can insulate ourselves from supply disruptions, from our dependence on potentially unreliable foreign sour

Osteoporosis is a common condition which can affect both men and women. Since osteoporosis is a degenerative disease, bone density is lost over time. It is possible to reverse the side effects of osteoporosis, however. Before you try any osteoporosis treatment, it is a good idea to consult your doctor. However, if you have found that the latest treatment for brittle bones just does ever seem to w

Faulty reasoning will cause patients to avoid proper treatment. The fear of hypoglycemia can also play a part in avoiding what needs to be done. This makes one unable to follow the treatment plan. Many diabetic young women also develop eating disorders and this certainly does not aid in controlling the [...]

Brittle diabetes treatment is fully discussed in the Annals of Endocrinology published in Paris. Lille University Hospital's Endocrinology and Metabolism Department reported this under the title Management Strategies for Brittle Diabetes. With the advent of SMBG (self monitoring of blood glucose), the term brittle diabetes treatment is not often heard although we still know it as the roller coaster swings of the blood glucose level. Although now rare, the few with type 1 diabetes have to live with this condition. That said, it is not the end of the world; it is just a challenge one has to meet. The key to achieving a blood glucose level to as normal target as possible without severe hypoglycemia is lifestyle. It is all about consistency in lifestyle, in carbohydrate intake, and insulin inj

Once again we had a battle with a Baker Hydro sand filter leaking from the threaded adaptor at the bulkhead. We get called out for the same filter problem several times a year despite the relative rarity of Baker Hydro filters. The walls of the adapter are made paper thin to accomodate a sunken o-ring and [...]

It was announced yesterday that the Cincinnati & Kentucky Post would be closing up shop at the end of the year.In the meantime, the Post produced a thoughtful editorial on the impact - or lack thereof - of the provision of NCLB that allows parents to move their children from schools that have failed to meet their goals. For the little good it does, the provision is hardly more than a big pain in the rump for local school administrators.Last year, 12 Fayette County schools offered transfers to 6,931 eligible students and only 131 students took advantage. But parents can't choose whatever school they want due to space limitations and transportation constraints. School administrators try to provide an excellent education in every school. But some parents see school choice under NCLB as death by fire, or death by water.The Post hints at vouchers for "whatever educational institution would accept them" as a possible solution. For the middle class - fine. But I'm not sure how that works fo

What constitutes outreach?  How does one reach out?  Does it have to be an in your face approach, or is a kinder gentler approach the way to go?  Is it servant evangelism that works, or just straight forward I’m going to tell it like it is, “repent or go to hell.” To be honest I have my opinions but I’m not so sure they fit with 1st Corinthians 12  where the Amplified says there are distinctive varieties of service and ministration, but it is the same Lord.  And there are distinctive varieties of operation of working to accomplish things, but the same God who inspires and energizes them all in all.  After nine years as a senior pastor I’m coming to the place where I have to ask is this all there is?  This just can’t be it, Lord we need you to breath life into these old dry bones.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m watching people grow in their walks, but I think maybe there is a stunted growth, where are the sheep begetting sheep?  Where is the burden for the lost, the
