Hydra is only 45 miles from Athens, one of the easiest Greek isles to reach. In many ways it is what it appears to be: a quaint tourist island, with jewelry and gift shops and overpriced Wi-Fi cafes flanking the horseshoe-shaped port.

Longest-nails Pictures of photography

The Dutches' , A Budding Singer Walton,

Walton, a budding singer known as The Dutchess, has been named by the authority on world records as the woman with the longest fingernails. Christine "The Dutchess" Walton, from Las Vegas, has nails that when combined are the length of a killer whale, according to Guinness World Records

 

Walton was in New York City on Wednesday to help launch the 2012 edition of the Guinness World Records book, which goes on sale later this month.

She said her twisting and turning nails - which measure a total of 10 feet two inches on her left hand and nine feet seven inches on her right hand - rarely prevent her from performing her everyday activities.

However, she admits she has problems getting things out of her pocket, and uses her knuckles to text on her cellphone.

But Walton, who is also raising a family, does her own nails and makeup, and works around the house with few problems.

"I hate all the cleaning, but I do it. And the makeup, I only wear so much."

Ms Redmond suffered serious injuries in the crash, but is expected to make a full recovery.

Karva Chauth: Fasting for husbands' long life

Married women fast from morning for their husbands' long lives on Karva Chauth. They end their fast in the evening only after seeing the full moon and break it after their husbands offer water and food to them. The custom is generally followed by north Indian Hindus.

On this day, women dress up in their best in traditional attire with mehndi on their hands and gorgeous attire. The festival is not only important for married women but also for newly-wed women.
Women sit in a circle and pass puja plate to each other even as the family's most elderly women recite Karva chauth katha.Karva Chauth ???????

 

A lady who has been observing Karva Chauth for the last 28 years shared its rituals. She says, "Karva means a small pot filled with water which is placed in front of Lord Ganesh. On this day, we worship Lord Ganesh for our husbands' long life. After fasting for the whole day, we follow certain rituals in the evening before we take food or water. Married women who observe fast will see the moon through the sieve. After this ritual, they see their husband through the sieve."

So, why do married women fast for their husbands? A woman says, "Married women consider their husbands as gods. So if devotees can fast for the Lord, then married women can definitely observe fast for their husbands."

The most common fasts are

• Surviving on water.
• Eating only fruits and vegetables.
• Eating only one meal a day.
• Giving up non-vegetarian food.
• Eating on alternate days.

Expert speak
"When you fast, a lot of toxins are released from the body," Setalvad says. You will feel lethargic and moody, but those are just signs of toxics being released.
Nutritionist and fitness expert Asha Bachanni says fasting also helps in weight loss. "Carbohydrates and glucose in the body are used up during a fast. This then breaks down fat cells," she says.
Fasting can help slow the aging process, adds Bachanni. "Normally, the body's energy is used up by the digestion process. During fasting, the body focuses on cleansing, boosting the repair mechanism of the body," she explains.

The most romantic destinations in Italy, Venice, Video

Venice is synonymous with romance. Of course there are detractors, but most people love this city, imagining it as a symbol of love, inspired by stories of love sheltered by the walls of buildings shriveled.

 

 

   Slike Italija: Venecija, wallpapers, slike,  But nobody can deny there is something with this place, something that continues to fascinate generations of tourists, lured by fame and the history of the city that floats on water.

World Best Pictures,Victoria Falls,

????? ?? ????????? ?????, ?????????? Falls, Foto migliori del mondo, Cascate Vittoria

When the calm flowing waters of the Zambezi River encounter the 1700-meter (1-mile) wide edge of the Victoria Falls gorge on the Zambia-Zimbabwe border, they abruptly plunge 100 meters (330 feet) to the bottom. The impact generates soaring mists and thunderous sounds that I could see and hear from great distances

Victoria Falls lies on the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia and it's possible to view it from both sides. I cannot judge which side offers a better view, as I saw it only from Zimbabwe. However, according to most sources, Zim side offers a wider and better view because it has as many as 16 viewpoints, while Zambia has just one. Besides, accommodation and activities are said to be more expensive in Zambia

 

Worst & best times to visit

Generally, it's best to avoid the peaks of the rainy season (when the mist can become so thick you see little) and dry season (when the water volume can noticeably ease). The weather is typically ideal at all other times.

---

Which side is best?

For the best rim-level view, visit the Zimbabwe side of Victoria Falls. For the best base-level view, walk down the rain-forest footpath on the Zambia side. For the best overall view, book passage on one of the Zambian or Zimbabwean flight-seeing tours - only then will you appreciate the size of this wonder.

Victoria Falls vs. Iguazu Falls

Globetrotters forever debate which is mightier, Victoria Falls or Iguazu Falls in South America. It's virtually a toss up, with a slight edge going to Iguazu Falls. Either way, both are considerably grander than the much smaller Niagara Falls.

Activities at Victoria Falls

Besides viewing the falls from the rims, you walk down to the bases. You can also take a boat tour below the falls or a helicopter sightseeing trip above them.
