Many people from the developed world go to India for the rejuvenation promised by yoga and ayurvedic massage, but few would consider it a destination for plastic surgery.
That's exactly what the government in India hopes will happen soon: to make India a prime destination for medical tourists.
I believe that the marriage between the interests of Western medical tourists and a handful of private hospitals is at "a very superficial level as far as the medical care industry in India is concerned".
Besides I wouldn't risk my health just to save a few bucks.
I would very much prefer a Los Angeles plastic surgeon to any unknown one in India.
Lloyd M. Krieger, MD is the founder and medical director of Beverly Hills plastic surgery.
He knows how to make plastic surgery a more rewarding experience for patients.
His academic work has led to the publication of more than 50 articles, including more than 20 in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery.
During his seven years training at UCLA, Dr. Krieger did extensive work in all areas of plastic surgery including cosmetic surgery, reconstructive surgery, microsurgery, burn surgery, craniofacial surgery and hand surgery.
Do you think about Breast Augmentation?
There is one place where you can go for the best results:
Los Angeles breast augmentation, and having it done in the right way.
An implant is placed underneath the breast tissue. The choice of implant position is based on the shape of your current breast, the amount of breast tissue and overall body size.
If you go into their website you'll learn everything about it.
That will help you to decide if and when and how.
Health is too an important matter just to trust anybody.
Outsourcing surgery?
No Thanks. I care for myself.

The theatre is the same
"This long episode of market mania, running for seven years, was based on the idea that non-performing loans could be turned into money by removing them from their point of origin and dressing them up in respectable clothes -- like taking all the winos in downtown Los Angeles, putting them in Prada suits, and passing them off as the faculty of the Harvard Business School. " James Kunstler
First of all I am very happy to see you are posting again, Mr. Kunstler.
My post of today has little to do with what you overall write in your post.
But some of your worlds, as usual, make me thinking.
It is not so hard to believe what you think almost impossible.
In principle what we are used to lately is that the "form", the "package", the market, make the product.
It is not so important what is inside, as long as it is presented in a nice way.
In a few words, substance is almost dead.
Call it "bubbles" call it cheating, call it whatever you like, but how many products (financial products) were presented as alluring and money makers, high money makers and in the end they were just what they were, an illusion well wrapped to look substantially valuable.
The big problem of today is the naïveté of the customer.
The big problem is that people believe in miracles.
In an ever ending run up, in an ever ending progress, in a never ending income increase, in a never ending success.
Technology has its timing, technology is no miracle.
But people believe that technology will always rescue them, also doing the impossible.
It is the blind faith in what they do not understand that brings people to ruin.
It is the false hopes fed by false promises.
As usual the theatre is the same, what changes are the actors who play...

Journalism Thoof Style
Do you know how to write?
Do you have some nice and interesting stories to write about?
In a few words: do you have weapons of "mass distraction"?
You have to go to the right place.
Is it worth writing for yourself or for the few that accidentally finish in your blog?
There is a website you should visit, where you can find personalized news and you can also submit yours.
They are hungry for Scoops. You do not need to get it first, you need to get it right.
And if you get it first and get it right, well you can be sure you'll reach that fame you are looking for.
They say the Media are loosing their way, I say the Media is changing actors.
Journalism is not anymore something belonging to a restricted number of journalists, or newspapers.
The Media world has spread to cover all the aspects of entertainment and the means to broadcast it.
The dawn of a new era for media was brought by the Internet, where the reader can be the publisher and the director can be actor and producer.
The news is not any more just "information" the news is entertainment and the one who is able to entertain the reader IS the winner.
It doesn't matter who he is or what he does. It matters how he writes, and how able he is to promote his writing.
It is in this view that website like Thoof.com are important.
Because they can give on one side the latest stories to an interested reader and on the other side the right space and exposure to the one who writes.
It's the new model of Newspaper on the Internet.
The newspaper written by users, the newspaper people want to read.

Open access: Future of communications?
The fact is that the cellular industry is standing on a precipice.
The future clearly consists of open access, services like VoIP, full Internet browsing and access to open sites, wider choice of devices, etc. BUT the industry is today controled by cellular carriers, since they subsidize the phones that customers get and they're the only company that customers really ever deal with. And they're paying for
their infrastructure and want to profit from it as much as possible.
Handset manufacturers are deathly afraid of offending a carrier, since if they offend a carrier, their handsets don't get sold. (The slight exception is Nokia, since they're the biggest.) This is why things like dual-mode phones and mass-market phones with software extensibility aren't more common than they are. But at the same time, the handset manufacturers do see the future. They want to get there, and to bring new devices to market, but they need to get there without blowing the next year or so of profits and putting themselves out of business, i.e., without offending carriers.
Given this climate, anything that makes this future come clearer, anything that makes it more and more inevitable and obvious that the future is open access, and anything that makes consumers and non- technical businesspeople think about this future, has the power to tip the scales. More carriers deciding not to block VoIP, more carriers tearing down their walled gardens, and more carriers offering extensible devices, are all moves in the right direction, and anything that nudges them along, and more importantly makes businesspeople aware that they need to be nudged along, will bring on this future faster.

San Francisco Sightseeing: the best way to visit a wonderful place.
Do you plan an unforgettable holiday in a place where you can find Nature, History, Entertainment, Good weather and Nice people?
Of course there are many places that can offer something like this, but there is only one which can offer all and something more: San Francisco.
You can go there many times and still have something to see.
And every time you will feel like you have to go back.
That is the Magic of a city that can surprise, enchant, allure, catch and inspire you.
But if you go there for the first time and you do not want to miss the most important places you will have to use San Francisco Sightseeing tours.
Read about it in the Trusted Tours eNewsletter .
You can choose San Francisco Sightseeing Deluxe City Tour
They will bring you all over, "from past to present and hill to shiny sea", over the Golden Gate bridge and along Lombard Street, to the most famous Fisherman's Wharf (where you can try the crabs and a special sauce).
From Twin Peaks you'll be able to see San Francisco's best. It lasts 3.5 hours, and you'll have the best 3.5 hours of your holiday for just $41.80 (but if you are a senior is even less).
Another tour that I would suggest, if you have the time is Monterey and Carmel 17 Mile Drive from San Francisco .
It is an 11 hours tour and it is worth every minute of it.
The Coast is really breathtaking. The tour includes stops at Steinbeck's Cannery Row in Monterey known for the characters in John Steinbeck's novel "Cannery Row". You'll find seaside exploration, shopping and activities on Monterey's beautiful shoreline.
The trip back to San Francisco will follow another route, taking you through the Silicon Valley in the San Jose and Santa Clara counties.
