During the last decade there has been a tremendous progress in the field of plastic surgery with the introduction of new techniques. Now men and women can easily change the way they want to look. Although cosmetic surgery is an expensive process, its trend is rising day by day. The other reason behind its rising trend is the urge and desires to look perfect. Some time ago,plastic surgeons were only focused on bringing change in the bigger picture, but now with the help of latest techniques, they have now been able to into minute details as well for example,toe nails. Here are some latest plastic surgeries for toes:
• Weight Loss Surgery For Your Toes Although weight loss surgery for your toes can be harmful, people are still opting to have their toes surgically slimmed to fit into latest stilettoes and platform heels. One said that beauty needs perfections but not every woman wants to go to this height of perfection. The process usually involves liposuction to the toes but in an extreme situation, women don’t resist to have their toe removed. On the contrary, the surgery can also lead to infection and difficulty in walking.
• Pillows For Your Feet Coined loub jobs are in a high demand these days because of the rising trend of high heels. People get this cosmetic surgery specifically to wear high heels by the designer Christian Louboutin. In this surgery, doctors use fat or sculptra to support the heel so, that women support their loubs painlessly. This surgery is not only common in women but also in men. Men go through this surgery to alleviate pain of their feet. Moreover, this surgery is very expensive and hence, not everyone can afford it.
• Botox Injections People get these Botox injections to stop their feet from sweating. It’s for those people who are very conscious not only about the way they look but also the way they smell. Botox injection is a very painful procedure but people are willing to bear this pain other than being stuck with stinky feet for the rest of their lives.
• Laser Therapy Laser therapy in not new in the field of cosmetic surgery but when it comes to your toe nails, not many people have heard about it. People go through this laser therapy to eradicate toe nail fungus in a single session. Women mostly go for laser therapy to remove hair from their toes and feet.
It is time to finish off the Power Rankings for the beginning of the season with teams 10-1. This will also count for the Week 1 rankings, which will run on Monday starting next week. One note, my previous power rankings did not take into consideration the James Harden to Houston trade, but these rankings do. It did drop the Thunder a spot in our mind.
10. Philadelphia 76ers
Last Year: 35-31(3rd in Atlantic Division) Hot 2012-2013 Storyline: Can Andrew Bynum be the franchise player Philadelphia is expecting him to be?
-The Sixers come into the year with a new roster and a redifined image. They are through being the doormat of the Atlantic, but are still coming into this year with a lot of questions. While we have them ranked high, they will only stay this high if Andrew Bynum can stay on the court. Recent news says that might already be a struggle. We also didn't like that within Free Agency they essentially let go of Lou Williams(their top scorer last year) and Elton Brand(many said he was the unofficial leader of the team behind Andre Iguodala) for Nick Young and Kwame Brown. Another nice subplot is to see how Evan Turner will take over as the athletic combo player now that AI is in Denver.
9. Brooklyn Nets
Last Year: 22-44 (5th in Atlantic Division)
Hot 2012-2013 Storyline: Are the Nets the new kings of New York?
-We may have them ranked a little high, but honestly anything Jay-Z gets his hands on turns to gold. While this is obviously an opinion that has no basketball relevance whatsoever, this team needed a change in identity badly. Joe Johnson and Deron Williams easily become one of the top 5 guard combos in the game, but they will have to learn to share the ball the right way, as both look to score first. This team also needs to improve defensively badly, as they won't be able to outscore everyone in the East, especially the Pacers, Celtics and Heat.
8. Indiana Pacers
Last Year: 42-24 (2nd in Central Division)
Hot 2012-2013 Storyline: Are the Pacers good enough to make the next jump into the East’s elite?
-A number of teams got better in the East, but unfortunately it look like the Pacers stayed put. While they made sure to keep Roy Hibbert, his asking price may have been a little too high for a player who comes with injury risk. Paul George is going to have to prove he is worth all of the buzz he has been getting, and Danny Granger needs to prove he is an all-star or the Pacers may need to lok elsewhere for a prolific scorer. The Pacers look like they are starting to become the next Atlanta Hawks, and that is not a good thing. This team is still good enough however to contend for a top 3 seed in the East.
7. Denver Nuggets
Last Year: 38-28 (2nd in Northwest Division)
Hot 2012-2013 Storyline: Is the most athletic team in the league one of the best?
-The Nuggets will be in our opinion, the most exciting team to watch this season. Andre Iguodala finally is in the open court offense which he thrives in, and he gives them yet another great defender. This team is going to frustrate many NBA offenses with their ability to cover ground on the defensive end of the ball. It wouldn’t be a surprise to anyone if they led the league in fast break points as well. The question surrounding the Nuggets is who takes the last shot? Many people would say Galinari, but he will need to prove that he can take a defender one-on-one on a consistent basis to make the Denver fans feel safe.
6. Los Angeles Clippers
Last Year: 40-26 (2nd in Pacific Division)
Hot 2012-2013 Storyline: Are they more than just a middle of the pack playoff team?
-With the Clippers developing into a legitimate West contender, the battle for LA is back and should be exciting. Chris Paul is still the best point guard in the game, and Blake Griffin has claimed to have improved his outside shooting and post defense(time will tell if this is true). While these two stars should push the Clippers into the playoffs, two questions remain. Did they pick up too many pieces, and who becomes the third scorer? Grant Hill, Matt Barnes, Lamar Odom, Jamal Crawford, Chauncey Billups, and Caron Butler are all veterans who expect minutes. While Chauncey and Caron are slated as the starters right now, where does Vinny Del Negro(a coach already being questioned) find the time and right situations to play all these guys? Also, is Chauncey healthy enough to be the 3rd scorer? If the veterans can mesh, this team could be scary but if not, watch out for drama in LA.
5. San Antonio Spurs
Last Year: 50-16(1st in Southwest Division)
Hot 2012-2013 Storyline: Is this finally the year the Spurs drop off?
-Every year people count the Spurs out, and every year they prove they are still worthy of mentioning. They ran into a buzzsaw OKC offense last year in games 3-6 of the Western Conference Finals, and probably feel as though they simply had a string of bad luck. A full season of Boris Diaw and Stephen Jackson on the roster makes this team better, but they will need a huge leap from second year player Kwahi Leonard as well. With no major additions in the offseason, are the Spurs good enough to hang with the Lakers and Thunder? And could they compete against a younger, more athletic Denver squad? While the West’s old guard is as steady as ever, teams have caught up and may be passing by.
4. Boston Celtics
Last Year: 39-27 (1st in Atlantic Division)
Hot 2012-2013 Storyline: Are the Celtics the one team that can beat the Heat?
-While is our mind’s the Celtics are always number one, the 4th spot seems like an appropriate position with three teams left. The loss of Ray Allen has been the storyline of the offseason, however picking up Jason Terry and Courtney Lee has seemed to offset that loss. In many ways, Terry will be a better fit with a point guard like Rajon Rondo who looks to get players the ball in positions where they can then make a move themselves. Speaking of Rondo, the Celtics will go as far as he takes them. An MVP season is needed from Rondo to help the aging Celtics catch the Heat, and to gain that title his shooting is going to need to improve. Teams have to be afraid of his shot in the playoffs, or else the Celtics could find themselves going home one round too early once again.
3. Oklahoma City Thunder
Last Year: 47-19 (1st in Northwest Division)
Hot 2012-2013 Storyline: Who are the Thunder now that they have traded Harden?
-Two days ago, I had the Thunder listed at the two spot. For a team who has improved every year, and simply went cold in the Finals, it seemed like the right spot. However, with less than 24 hours passed since the Harden trade, I had no choice but to drop them to three. While it became obvious that the Thunder wanted to no part in paying Harden max money, the idea of this trade does not seem to make sense for a team who could win a title now. While Kevin Martin is a functional NBA guard, and will be a great scorer off the bench, he has neither the talent nor future that Harden gave. Beyond that, one of the Thunder’s main attractions was their team unity, in which Harden played a major role. It will be interesting to see how the team reacts to this, and whether they can use the money they saved to grab another free agent for another title run. Kevin Durant is still Kevin Durant, and should compete for the scoring title yet again. But now especially with Harden gone, Russell Westbrook needs to become a top 10 NBA player for the Thunder to win a title.
2. Los Angeles Lakers
Last Year: 41-25 (1st in Pacific Division)
Hot 2012-2013 Storyline: Are the new Lakers good enough to bring the title back to LA?
-While I originally had them at three, it makes perfect sense to have them as the best team in the West at two now. The additions of Steve Nash and Dwight Howard instantly make the Lakers scary good, and Pao Gasol at the four spot makes him one of the, if not the best power forward in the game today. The Lakers success will come down to how well the four stars can blend. If Kobe allows Nash and Pao to run the pick and roll as the main part of the offense, and let him be the star when it breaks down the Lakers can go places. However, if Kobe tries to play hero ball and takes as many shots as he has taken in the past this team could get stuck not having enough basketballs to pass around. Even with troubles, it would be shocking to not see them in the West finals at the minimum.
1. Miami Heat
Last Year: 46-20 1st in Southeast
Hot 2012-2013 Storyline: Can Lebron get even better?
-The Champs proved that the lack of a true center is not needed to win a title in the new, athletic up-tempo NBA. While the Heat are easily the best team in the league on paper and on the court, there are holes. If Ray Allen, Shane Battier and Mike Miller struggle to stay healthy or finally start to fall off in their latter years, this team will have to lean on Lebron anymore. And while he proved in both games six and seven of the Eastern Conference Finals, The NBA Finals, and in the Olympics that this is no issue, the Heat could be one injury away from being in serious trouble. When it comes down to brass tax, Lebron and Wade are pretty much unbeatable when healthy, and Chris Bosh has happily taken on the Robin role to Batman “A” and Batman “B”. Unless someone can figure out how to stop the freight train, or an injury occurs, the Heat are the heavy favor to be lifting hardware again come June.

1. Makeup Tips For Eid-ul-Azha
For women, the festivities of Eid-ul-Azha are mostly associated with quality time spent in the kitchen, trying new recipes and cooking delicious foods. But this activity has never lessened the passion for Eid as women can never stop dressing up and applying make. Makeup ideas for Eid-ul-Azha can be challenging, especially with the high temperature and humidity in most parts of the country. Here are some easy and helpful makeup tips for Eid ul Azha that will make you look ravishing all day long.
2. Prepare Your Skin
Before the application of foundation, make sure you eliminate any toxins and excess oil from your skin. Eid-ul-Azha is a long day and you would not want your make up to melt in just a couple of hours. The best make up tip for Eid-ul-Azha is to exfoliate, scrub and cleanse your skin a day before. This will remove dirt from your skin, give you an even tone and will make the application of foundation easier. Exfoliated skin will also make you look fresh on Eid day.
3. Foundation and Base
One of the makeup tips for Eid-ul-Azha is to apply a primer on your face before applying foundation. Primer plays the role of an oil free moisturizer which helps your base last longer and not crack during the day. This is a must for people with dry skin. Let your face rest for five minutes and now apply your foundation. With a pre prepared skin, exfoliated and moisturized, your foundation will glide on your face settling in each and every pore giving you the smoothest base.
4. Eyes and Eye Brows
Eid is a day function and most activities are carried out in the first part of the day. Make up ideas for morning events are simple as well as exciting. Shape your brows with a light brown brow pencil. Do not use charcoal black during the day. If you wish to look dramatic and sizzling, go for dark shades. If you are not confident in carrying dark shades, go for light day colors like light brown, peach, pinks, violets etc. Shape your eye with an eye pencil or eye liner and in the end apply your black mascara to enhance the eye.
5. Blush on & Lip Color
Apply a bronzer on your cheeks to enhance your cheek bones. Use a concealer if you wish to slightly reshape your features. On Eid day, use peach or light pink blush. Do not over do your blush on. A creamy, rosy-cheek look is all what you are looking for.
Your lip color gives you a totally new personality. Go for natural big lips or shape them a little using a lip pencil. Lip color should match the dress you are wearing.
With these makeup tips, enjoy your Eid day and look as stunning as possible.
