People who bite their nails are more likely to get a fungal nail infection than those who don’t. This is because nail biters often injure the cuticle or the skin surrounding the nail, creating numerous entry points for harmful fungi to invade the body.

New York dermatologists Drs. Herbert P. Goodheart of Mount Sinai Hospital and Hendrik Uyttendaele of Columbia University Medical Center said this bad habit should be avoided since the cuticle protects the nail and the skin from bacteria and other possible sources of infection. Once the fungus sets in, it can be difficult to remove and can eventually damage and disfigure your nails. Complications include pain when walking, typing, and writing.

“Nail-biting can cause your fingertips to be red and sore and your cuticles to bleed. Nail-biting also increases your risk for infections around your nail beds and in your mouth. Dental problems and infections of the gums can be caused by nail-biting. Long-term nail-biting can also interfere with normal nail growth and cause deformed nails,” warned WebMD.

Nail biting or onychophagia is a common response to stress, excitement, boredom, or inactivity that affects people of all ages. It is seen in about 50 percent of kids between the ages of 10 and 18 and in 23 percent of young adults aged 18 to 22. By age 30, most people stop biting their nails but 10 percent of men continue this habit.

Children may bite their nails in response to problems at home or at school. Others do it when they quit smoking. Some bite their nails without realizing it when they’re involved in other activities like reading, talking on the phone or watching television.

Famous nail biters include former US First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, singer Lisa Marie Presley, and English singer/songwriter Phil Collins. American writer and poet Dorothy Parker, known for her caustic wit and wisecracks, was also a nail biter as evidenced in her famous quote: “I’m never going to be famous. My name will never be writ large on the roster of Those Who Do Things. I don’t do any thing. Not one single thing. I used to bite my nails, but I don’t even do that any more.”

To stop nail biting, here are some quick tips from Somasin AFS, the safe and natural way to stop stubborn fungal nail infections and restore your nails’ healthy shine and luster:

* Keep your nails clean and trimmed. Get a regular manicure but choose a clean nail salon or bring your own instruments if possible. Better still, carry a nail clipper with you always. If your nails look good, you’re less likely to ruin them.

* Keep your hands busy when you’re on the phone or watching TV. Try doodling or hold on to the remote control. Squeezing on a stress ball, silly putty or clay can also draw your attention away from your nails.

* Chew on something else. Keep a pack of gum or mints handy to chew on when you feel the urge to bite your nails.

* Paint a bitter-tasting polish on your nails. The awful taste will remind you to stop every time you start to bite your nails.

Unlike other oral antifungal drugs, Somasin’s twin approach strengthens your immune system and effectively eliminates nail fungi in just seven days.

From Wikipedia Awaken is a song by the British progressive rock band Yes released on their acclaimed 1977 album Going for the One. At 15 minutes and 31 seconds it is the longest track on the album, occupying most of the second side of the LP. Many Yes fans, as well as lead singer/songwriter Jon Anderson himself, consider this song to be the best track in the band’s entire recorded output: “We had a hit record! I loved listening to ‘Awaken’, at last we had created a Masterwork.”[1] Like many extended Yes pieces, the song has a very complex harmonic and rhythmic structure and enigmatic lyrics. Along with the track “Parallels”, also released on Going for the One, the song features a church organ played by Rick Wakeman. According to the booklet of the 2003 CD reissue, these parts were recorded at St. Martins Church, Vevey, Switzerland. In addition the track features a harp played by Jon Anderson, especially prominent in the quiet middle section beginning at 6:38 in the song. An embryonic version called “High Vibration” had already been played at some concerts back in 1975 when the band was promoting their previous album Relayer. Lasting something over one minute it only featured the starting lyrics (up to “Where Can I Be”) and melody by Jon Anderson with a gentle layer of Steve Howe´s guitar and Patrick Moraz´s mellotron. At that time the tune was used as a melodic announcement to “The Gates of Delirium”. Since 1977 the song´s staple in concerts has been Chris Squire playing

During my search for original music on youtube I discovered an amazing singer/songwriter called Tamar. Her video for her awesome original song “Transcend” had unfortunately uploaded to youtube out of sync with the audio track, so I have corrected it as best I can and re-uploaded it for her here (with permission). Of course, all words and music are copyright Tamar, and please check out her own youtube channel at www.youtube.com Another yellow cab Takes me back But it is what it is What’s done is done I’m not used to this Freedom But it is what it is The meter runs I’m feeling numb Tell me that this all means something Tell me there’s light at the end Tell me that I won’t be here dying On this ride maybe I can begin To transcend Transcend Maybe years from now We’ll look back And learn to forgive This broken pact Suitcase in the rain Moving on Cause it is what it is What’s done is done Sometimes we’re wrong Tell me that this all means something Tell me there’s light at the end Tell me that I won’t be dying On this ride maybe I can begin To transcend Transcend And I’ll find that grace In another place There’s a chance out there That I’ve gotta take And I’ll find that grace In another place Tell me that this all means something Tell me there’s light at the end Tell me that I won’t be dying On this ride maybe I can begin To transcend Transcend Words and music © Tamar
