How can health insurance help you out? Being an investment, it is imperative that people prioritize this expense along with many other financial responsibilities. Health insurance coverage should be there to support you and your family in times when you need immediate health care. Think of it as a nest egg where you can get funds from to pay for the various costs of medical treatment, hospitalization, medication, and more.
There are various types of health insurance plans that you can obtain, and there is an equally innumerable number of firms that offer such services. It can be a little challenging to choose one that is right for your budget, as well as tailor made to suit your health needs. Note that you don't have to spend a fortune to be able to get insurance coverage. There are ways by which you can earn discounts and save, while at the same time receiving quality and reliable services from your insurance provider. All it takes is the right knowledge to be able to evaluate your health insurance priorities and lock down your choice of provider.
In line with this, this article presents some interesting statistics that you might want to keep in mind regarding health insurance plans in the United States. Anders from www.kniftrygghet.no/ says "Knowing these important notes will help you make a wise decision with regards to choosing a plan for you and your family. Mentioned here is also vital news regarding the direction that the health insurance system is headed"
How many people in Europe are without health insurance? Regardless of how important it is to be covered, there is a significant percentage of the population who has no resources to obtain their needed health policies.
As the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in America reports, about 45 million people in the US have no health insurance. And that translates to roughly 15 percent of the population. The Hispanics have the most number of uninsured children and adults, which is about 32 percent of the total Hispanic population. On the other hand, 19 percent of the total African American population does not have health insurance, and around 10 percent of all whites are uninsured as well.
How many children in the US are without any form of health insurance? This age group is considered as the minor group, comprised of children aged 18 and below. The CDC stated in a 2007 report that about 10 percent of the total minor population does not have health insurance. That means that there are 7 million children out there who may not be able to get afforded medical treatment. Which states have the most number of uninsured children? The Kaiser Health Foundation accounts that Texas ranks at the top of the list, with about 22 percent of the ages 0 to 18 population having no health insurance. Massachusetts is still the state with the least number of uninsured children, with only about 5 percent having no coverage.
In terms of the performance of insurance companies in the country, which are the ones that write the most number of health policies? As of the year 2007, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners reports ten of the largest insurance firms in the US, with respect to their market shares. Topping that list with approximately 12 percent of the market share is the UnitedHealth Group. Second is WellPoint, Inc, having almost 10 percent of the market share.
On a final note, what does the EU intend to do in response to the ever growing health insurance needs? Among the highest priorities of the European Union is to focus on revamping and further developing the health insurance system in Europe. About €150 billion is expected to be allotted for provision of more accessible and more affordable health insurance options for the population. In line with the recession which led to the loss of over 7 million jobs, €25 billion will be used to cover for nearly 65 percent of health insurance premiums for these employees.
To be able to answer to the health needs of children, it is expected that 5 million kids will be granted health insurance, as €87 billion will be for funding state health insurance programs, which assists minors from low income families as well. The rest of the funding will be for modernization of medical facilities.
The best thing about smoothies is their capacity for infinite experimentation. And like many subjective tastes, only you can determine the best combination of smoothie ingredients for you. Smoothys are great as part of a diet that helps you get slim and lose weight.
But how do you go about preparing a smoothie without botching it up?
There are some key considerations to bear in mind when going about the process, which should speed up the learning curve and get you preparing smoothies like a guru yourself.
Please keep reading as we break down how to make a smoothie great the first time by adhering to 9 simple rules.
1) Estimate The Proper Amount of Liquid to Add
All we are mean here is to ensure that you have enough liquid relative to the other ingredients so that you don't end up making a glass full of paste, or a smoothie with a runny, watery texture. Of course, everyone has different opinions, but I like my smoothies thick but still able to be sucked up with a large-diameter straw.
Most smoothie recipes will attempt to achieve a proper consistency by starting with a cup or two of liquid. This can be regular (cow's) milk, soy milk, almond milk, coffee/tea/alcohol, fruit juice and/or simply water. The amount of liquid needed will increase as you increase the amount of dry ingredients added. Things like ground seeds, peanut butter, dryer fruits (e.g., banana), protein powders, and similar ingredients will soak up quite a bit of liquid. Consequently, you should start with a cup of your chosen liquid and add more as needed to get the mixture to blend. And if it becomes too watery, you can thicken it with more ingredients. No science here, just blend and taste - and repeat till perfect!
2) Plan Around The Most Dominant Flavor(s)
Although this is the #2 consideration, this is really the first decision that should be made. So, is this going to be a pineapple strawberry smoothie? Or perhaps you are leaning more towards an avocado yogurt smoothie? Whatever floats your boat, think about how you want the resulting smoothie to taste - should one or more ingredients stand out? I like to think about it in movie terms - who's the lead? For example, if you love blueberry and like the potent antioxidants they contain, you might make them your "star" ingredient and ensure you are adding at least a cup of them to your mixture. Once that decision is made, you can pick your liquid(s) of choice.
Yes, we know that some of the best smoothies are created by a random jumble of ingredients, but randomness will happen either way. We think it's always best to start with some kind of vision for a smoothie, regardless whether you reach it, or end up with something very different, and perhaps even better instead!
3) Choose Your Supporting Cast of Ingredients
Whatever primary flavors you are aiming for with your smoothie, you have a plethora of options in terms of a supporting cast. For example, for virtually any kind of fruit and even vegetable smoothie, bananas are a great addition since they add some sweetness as well as bulk to the mixture. Further, they can easily be peeled and frozen (in that order!) before addition to give the smoothie the desired slushy feel. Yogurt is another ingredient that complements so many kinds of smoothies by adding density and creaminess. And the great thing about yogurt is that it comes in its own myriad of flavors. For a very rich and thick smoothie, we like Greek yogurt best.
4) Choose Your Sweetener(s) Wisely
While it's always convenient to reach for white sugar to add sweetness to your smoothie, think bigger.
Some of the best choices for sweetening up your smoothie are honey, agave, maple syrup, chopped dates, and raw brown (or coconut) sugar.
Corn syrup is another option for those looking for a liquid substitute for table sugar that more easily mixes at cold temperatures.
5) Give it an Added Health Boost!
Each time you make a smoothie it's a good idea to try and add something special, something that packs lots of vitamins or nutrients. There are so many things that can be added to a smoothie that can turn it from being merely healthy to health super-charged. For example, chia seeds are one of the new superfoods that can make almost any smoothie nutritious; and best of all, chia itself has no flavor, so it doesn't alter the vision of the smoothie you planned to create. Other popular additions are flax seed or flax seed oil, wheat germ, oatmeal, algae (spirulina and chlorella), vitamin and protein powders/liquids. The sky is really the limit here. Just add and taste and see what you can include while keeping things tasty. Just keep in mind that protein powders and flax/chia seeds will soak up lots of water, so keep some extra liquid on hand to add to the mixture as needed.
6) Determine How Icy You Like It
For many people, myself included, a smoothie is not a smoothie without some iciness to it. You can easily add the necessary ice factor by simply freezing any fruit or veggies that you add, or you can simply add ice cubes until the proper slushiness is achieved. Just remember that by adding ice cubes, you are watering down the mixture, so where possible it's always advisable to freeze some/all of your main ingredients instead.
7) Use a High Quality Blender For Best Results
If you plan on making healthy smoothies a part of your lifestyle, then there is no substitute for purchasing a high-quality blender. By this we generally don't mean the kind you are likely to find in your local department store. Achieving the velvety smooth texture that you'll find at smoothie shops is something that requires a blender with lots of power so that very high blade rotational speeds can be obtained. We are talking about blenders with motors typically over 1,000 watts. All other things being equal, faster blades means a smoother blend. This is particularly important when using lots of ice, seed material, and green leafy foods. In short, don't skimp on your blender!
8) Make Smoothies a Regular Part of Your Day
One of the most important benefits of drinking smoothies is the huge does of vitamins and minerals they can provide, when consumed regularly. As such, we strongly encourage you to drink at least one healthy smoothie each day. Whether it is your own version of a breakfast smoothie, or a refreshing fruit smoothie you treat yourself to after dinner, make it good for you and drink them often. If you are looking for diet plans our friends at lifestyle.co.uk have lots of great ideas and daily meal prep plans.
9) Have Fun With It!
As we discussed at the outset, the best thing about smoothies is the endless creative possibilities they afford. Take advantage of this and experiment and have fun with the processes. We are certain that the more often you make smoothies, the more unique and interesting concoctions you will create. Also, when you've stumbled onto a real "winner," make sure to share it with others who may be looking for some inspiration - and perhaps use your experience to help teach them how to make a smoothie for themselves!
Exercise is ideally an activity that should be enjoyed. True, it is not exactly play, but it is not work either. In fact, it is closer to play than to work. Sadly, it has become a joyless, routine activity for most people. As ironic as it may sound, people get bored working out! The attainment of short and long-term wellness goals is not just about participating in any cardio activity, but engaging in one that you enjoy. Are you getting bored with your workout routine? Then jumping into the swimming pool for water aerobics may just be way to get the spark back.
Water aerobics, or aqua aerobics, routines are cardio and strength-training exercise routinesusually done on dry land, only they are done in the coolness and safety of the water. These exercises include walking, jogging, jumping, using free weights and more in the pool.
True, water aerobics require that your muscles work harder than land-based exercises as water provides more resistance than air, even so, the joints experience little stress. For this reason, those with joint-related pain, recovering from a joint injury or joint replacement surgery will find this water aerobics attractive.
Water aerobics is rising in popularity, so there are variations such as waterpilates, pool based tai-chi, aqua Zumba, and many more at community centres and pools.Some pools and centres have website, so you can check them out. Many older adults find water aerobics enjoyable. The Managing Director of Aquarama, one of such centres, UnniMeselsaid,"The number of people who come to use our services has almost tripled in since last year. There is definitely a rising interest in water related activities – and not just among youths, as older adults also represent a big percentage of our clients. Our clients are diverse too. We get patronage not just from Norwegians, but also from all over the world. Some come from as far as Africa and Asia. This increase in patronage has coincided with including our revamped pool on our website, https://www.aquarama.no/bad/info"
Health Benefits of Water Aerobics
1. Strong Bones
Regular exercise promotes bone health and is vital the prevention of osteoporosis, a disease that affects 50% of women and 25% of men over age 50 and above. According to the Aquatic Exercise Association (AEA), water aerobics exercises can help build and maintain bone mass.
2. Beneficial for those with Low Back Pain
The AEA maintains that training in deep water with the feet not touching the floor of the pool, can benefit those having low back pain as this greatly reduces the compressive load on the spine. The core muscles are also trained and this aids good posture, back health and proper alignment.
3. Reduces Arthritis Pain
The Arthritis Foundation promotes water exercises, saying that just walking in water can help those suffering from arthritis move easier with reduced joint pain, feel stronger and more flexible. The foundation's AEA-managed aquatic program offers programs mainly for people with arthritis, musculoskeletal conditionsand related rheumatic diseases.
4. Calories are Burned
Yes, you may not burn as much calories as land-based workout, but you will still burn calories. You can burn between 350 to 500 calories in 60-minute workout in the water.
5. GroupEnvironment is a Motivator
Water aerobics provides a social experience. An AARP survey found that older adults are more likely to continue their fitness programs if they had committed to an exercise group or trainer. It is like a support group that provides motivation and gives a sense of belonging.
Water aerobics provides the mixture of fun and exercise. It also improves social interaction as is a sure way to avoid getting into a workout rut. Your body will not only benefit, but also your mind. Of course, you have to be a good swimmer before engaging in it.
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder which causes and individual's breathing to be continuously interrupted during sleep. Breathing starts and stops several times and prevents you from having a normal sleep rhythm. Sleep apnea is disruptive not only to the person who is suffering from it. It also disrupts the person's relationship with a sleeping partner as loud, irritating snoring keeps the partner awake.
Sleep apnea affects people of all ages, children inclusive. However, it has been found to be more prevalent in adults of 50 years and above.
Signs of sleep apnea
- Loud snoring during sleep
- Daytime sleepiness and fatigue
- Forgetfulness.
- Jerking awake from sleep with a feeling of air deprivation
- Dry mouth and sore throat
- Headaches
"It is essential to note that sleep apnea can be differentiated from ordinary snoring by the fact that snoring does not disturb the sleeping rhythm. Sleep apnea on the other hand disrupts sleep and causes tiredness and other symptoms of hindered sleep." - Experts from Norway https://www.hvitesmil.no/sovnapne/
Medical concerns caused by sleep apnea
- The chronic deprivation of sleep as a result of hindered breathing leads to slow reflexes, a dull mind and poor concentration, daytime sleepiness, and an increase tendency to bump into things or have an accident.
- Sleep apnea can cause depression, irritability, moodiness, and a decrease in confidence.
- Untreated sleep apnea can lead to more serious medical conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, weight gain, and liver problems.
- Sleep apnea is said to be an independent risk factor for high blood pressure.
Types of Sleep apnea
- Obstructive sleep apnea: is the most common type of sleep apnea. It happens when the airway is blocked as the soft tissue at the back of the throat relaxes during sleep. This causes interruptions in breathing, loud snoring, and a disruption in the flow of oxygenated blood to the brain.
- Central Sleep apnea: this is a less common type of sleep apnea. It has to do with the central nervous system and occurs when the brain is unable to send a signal to the muscles that control breathing. This type of sleep apnea hardly causes snoring. Once the breathing signal is finally sent to the muscles, the person with this condition snorts and jerks awake from sleep gasping, smothering, or choking and tries to take a deep breathe.
- Complex sleep apnea: a combination of central sleep apnea and obstructive sleep apnea.
How to Overcome Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea can be effectively managed through the following ways:
- Medical procedures:
- This includes undergoing some surgery to widen the airway by stiffening or shrinking the obstructive tissue or simply removing the excess tissue or the enlarged tonsils.
- CPAP therapy: a constant stream of air that provides positive pressure is passed through the respiratory tract through a mask.
- Mandibular repositioning device: this is a mouthpiece that holds the jaw in a forward position during sleep expanding the airway behind the tongue.
- Lifestyle choices: to be able to enhance the breathing process during sleep a person with sleep apnea should try to avoid smoking and alcohol intake, and lose some weight by keeping fit.
Every sportsman values the importance of keeping fit so as to stay on top of his game. Football players, most of all, follow regular training and fitness routines especially during the off-season. To keep the team ahead the players must train hard and follow the rules of sportsmanship.
Let's a look at the most successful British football club of all time, which has over 200 supporter clubs in more than 50 different countries, and see how their players have managed to stay on top.
Liverpool FC
Liverpool FC, founded in 1892, is a club loved by many and has its name right next to fame and glory,having won 7 FA cups, 5 European cups, 18 league titles, 8 league cups, and 3 UEFA league cups. Some of their most prominent players include Robbie Fowler, Terry McDermott, Peter Beardsley, Tom Watson, and Ian Callaghan.
Reiseshop shared that Liverpool FC athletes ensure that they improve their flexibility and mobility, follow a healthy nutritional plan, observe good sleeping habits, and strengthen their weak links. Each of these targets is addressed based on the specific athlete's requirements, weaknesses, and strengths. Let us take a look at these one after the other.
Achieving Mobility and Flexibility
Every sportsman recognizes the importance of reducing his/her chances of getting an injury. To be able to perform optimally, a high level of mobility and flexibility is essential. Mobility of the joints and the flexibility of the various muscle groups in the body are essential to staying fit. Players are known tooften spend at least about 30-45 minutes each day working on their stretches and other flexibility and mobility improvement routines. You can work on your stretching with a partner or you can try a static band-assisted stretching if you do not have a training partner.
Focusing more power to improve your weak links
Weak links could be areas such as the ankle, forearm, neck, knees, and the rotator cuffs. You can avoid falling into bad habits and be able to improve your performance by strengthening your weak links. You can achieve this by engaging in exercises that focus on these areas of the body. Observing this necessary procedure would ensure that you maintain your strength and stability and keep you on top of your game.
Following a proper diet
To be able to stay fit and healthy every athlete is required to follow and maintain specific nutrition schedules and standards. This not only helps to ensure faster healing after an injury, but also sees that the athlete remains fit at all times and is capable of adequately following an often strenuous physical exercise routine.
Observing a healthy sleeping pattern
A good sleeping habit is essential for the rejuvenation of the heart and blood vessels, restoration of the appetite, insulin response balance, restoration and repair of the body tissues, maintenance of muscle mass, and keeping a sharp mind. Ensure that you observe at least 8 hours of sleep each day to stay healthy and strong. Try going to bed and waking up at fixed times every day. You would be able to sleep better, if you happen to be experiencing some anxiety, by getting a light workout and taking a shower before bed.
Cycling is a pleasurable and versatile form of exercise that can be done either indoors (using special bikes called trainers) or outdoors. It is good for people of all ages and from different works of life. It is a low impact sport and does not expose the body to wear unlike running and some other forms of exercise. It is gentle on the joints and therefore is convenient for people that want to get in shape or that experience joint pains.
Let us go through some of the great benefits of cycling:
- Cardio Workout: According to fitness junkies on Birk sport, cycling is a great cardio workout and can burn up to 400 calories in an hour. It increases your breathing rate, strengthens your core, and makes your lungs and your endurance stronger. It keeps your heart rate going and gets beneficial oxygenated blood pumping through the body. Cycling is said to help reduce the risk of getting heart disease and cancer.
- Mental health and wellbeing: cycling can be a great form of meditation. It frees the mind from worry and allows you think more clearly. Cycling releases endorphins and adrenalin which helps to boost your mood. It also helps to boost your confidence and provides the opportunity to explore and enjoy beautiful new sites. It creates the opportunity to meet new people and to expand your social circle as you find a group to ride with outdoors. Graeme Obree, the former Hour Record holder, says that he suffered from depression through most of his life but through biking with a group he was able to overcome his depression.
- Muscle building: cycling helps you to burn fat and build up your muscles. It builds your core, legs, glutes, and back, strengthening both the lower and upper parts of the body.
- Improved brain power and cognitive ability:cycling is a good form of exercise that helps to improve brain health and reduces the possibility of getting dementia later in life. During cycling blood flow to the brain rises considerably. It helps to improve your navigational capabilities and your natural sense of direction as you ride and explore new places without necessarily having a map.
- Improved immune system: cycling helps prevent the common cold simply by strengthening the respiratory system. As a great form of aerobic exercise, it help to knock down chances of falling ill by keeping white blood cells active and producing essential proteins in the body that help maintain the immune system. Cycling helps to encourage restful sleep afterwards which allows the body to heal and restore itself thereby keeping you healthy.
Just like the rest of the body, your feet also need exercises to stay fit and healthy. Exercises are also effective in reducing pain. Your foot has a whole lot of moving parts. In fact, it has 26 bones, 33 joints and more than 100 tendons, ligaments and muscles. It is therefore not surprising that there are a myriad of problems that can affect your feet.
One of the most common foot problems in adults is known as plantar fascitt. This is a situation most likely caused by improper shoes, wrong standing posture and wrong walking pattern that results in severe pain in the heel and underside of the foot. There are several suggested ways to handle this health complication including therapy but certain simple exercises can help you ease the pain associated with foot problems.
Foot roll
One of the popular prescriptions for managing plantar fasciitis is by rolling your foot over a bottle of water or ball. This exercise concept is very simple; you simply place the bottle or ball under the heel of your foot, then you roll the bottle or ball around your foot or forward and backwards from the ball of your foot to the heel. This will effectively massage the underside of your foot and you can increase the pressure or pace as needed. Doing this for at least 2 minutes on each foot will provide relief.
Calf stretch
Calf stretch is a simple routine you can do to keep your Achilles tendon and plantar fasciitis from getting rigid. There are two ways you can do this routine. One is by sitting down on a strong chair with one leg stretched out before you. Then you wrap a towel around the ball of one foot and pull back towards you until you feel a stretch where the foot and calf meets. Hold for a few seconds and repeat on the second foot. Alternatively, you can place the ball of one foot firmly against a wall with your heel on the ground. Gently lean your weight on the foot towards the wall and hold for a few seconds. Switch to the other foot and repeat the process again.
Calf raise
This routine will help strengthen your feet and calves as well as improve balance. There are also two simple ways to do this exercise.
You can stand near a counter or doorway and hold on tightly. Then balance on one foot and leaning your weight on that foot, lift up on your toes. Hold the pose for a few seconds then lower down. Do the process multiple times using both foot. Alternatively, you can stand before a wall with your feet spaced apart by a few inches. Resting your palms firmly on the wall, lift your heels as high as possible placing your weight on the balls of your feet, hold the posture for a few seconds then lower your heels down to the floor. Repeat the process a few times more to be sure you got it all.
There are many other feet exercises you can do to ease the pain on your feet, but the above three are a good place to start from. Doing these exercises constantly will greatly relive the pain and help you heal faster.
Testosterone is a hormone that plays a vital role in the human body, especially in males. The male body has a higher level of testosterone compared to a females, and it's actually this hormone that gives men their gender-specific features – body hair, deep voice, broader shoulders, etc.
The male body's testosterone level spikes during puberty but goes on a decline after men turn 30 years old, dipping at a rate of about 1 percent per year. But don't let that scare you, as it's a totally natural consequence of aging.
A Serum Testosterone Level Test will help reveal if your levels of testosterone have fallen below the recommended range of 300 - 1000 ng/dL.
Consequences of Low Testosterone (or "low-T"):
Scarcity of erections. The testosterone hormone activates a man's sex drive, thus facilitating erections. While this hormone isn't the sole ingredient in raising an erection, it is essential to it. When testosterone levels in a male body decline, an erection can become more difficult to obtain.
Low sex drive. Testosterone's contribution to having a high or low sex drive cannot be overstated. Men tend to gradually lose their sex drive as they age, but this particular effect of aging is more evident in men with consistently low testosterone levels.
Semen shortage. The production of semen in a man's scrotal sac is also heavily dependent on testosterone levels. If a man has high testosterone levels, the more semen he'll produce. Low testosterone levels equals less semen quantity and quality per ejaculation.
Balding: As earlier mentioned, testosterone plays a role in hair growth – facial, body, and head hair. Women with facial and chest hair are usually diagnosed with unusually high levels of testosterone. While balding counts as part of the aging process for some men, it can be avoided by reversing the decline of testosterone in their bodies.
Lethargy. A shortage of testosterone in a man comes with extreme fatigue and noticeable decline in energy levels. Being tired all the time in spite of getting enough sleep, or feeling too lazy to get up and move around are signs of depleting testosterone.
Shrinking muscle mass. Low testosterone levels can lead to a noticeable drop in muscle mass and strength. If low testosterone is not dealt with before trying to reverse muscle loss, a weight lifter might find himself working out in vain and pumping iron with no visible results.
While it's true that a decrease in testosterone level is a natural phenomenon, there are ways to trigger higher levels of testosterone in the body. One way is through consistent exercise and increased physical activity. Another solution and great additional help is the use of testosterone boosters, such as the highly rated TestoFuel which bring about noticeable and beneficial changes in a testosterone-lacking body.
Smoking has been estimated to kill at least 6 million persons a year around the world. A lot of efforts and research is made daily to help people quit smoking and ensure young people do not join the already high number of smokers in the world. For instance, tobacco industries have forced to stop advertising, smoking in public places has been banned, and a danger warning is written on the tobacco pack. Yet, there is no decrease in the number of smokers or reduction in the number of young people liable to smoke.
Research has identified that smokers are liable to suffer cancer, heart disease, lung disease and stroke. Third world countries with a poor economy and weak tobacco policies have suffered more casualties.
Hence, it should be asked, what is the alternative to smoking, if people have refused to stop smoking? Welcome the vaporizers. An e-cigarette.
"A vaporizer is a nicotine-delivering gadget. It delivers nicotine by heating nicotine containing propylene glycol also known as e-liquid to create an inhalable vapour or aerosol. Yes, they deliver nicotine effectively, if not better than the conventional cigarette which is highly-concentrated with other chemicals from burning and in the tobacco smoke." - Jonny E Cig Expert from ECigClick.co.uk
To avoid the dangerous after effects of smoking which is heavily laced with nicotine and other dangerous chemicals, vaping has become the new alternative. Electronic-cigarettes, as they are popularly called are vaped not smoked.
It is a new development in the tobacco industry to reduce the dangers of smoking, provide an alternative to smoking, and help smokers quit.
Why is Vaping a better alternative?
E-cigarettes like traditional cigarettes contain nicotine. However, vaping does not involve combustion. Rather, an e-liquid is heated to provide vapour or aerosol. This leads to an inhalation of the vapour, unlike smoke inhalation.
Also, tar or carbon monoxide isn't produced with vaping. Addictive and flavours are also added to vaporizers.
Regular cigarettes expose you to harms, however, e-cigarettes lowers the dangers and harms attached to smoking.
A considerable reduction in the amount of nicotine. Switching to vaporizers means lesser toxins, a lesser cancer-causing substance in the body.
University College London's Dr Lion Shahab, the lead author of the research into the effects of vaping concluded that e-cigarettes are safer than smoking and suggests associated lower risk.
Is it a trend or a cultural phenomenon?
E-cigarettes have been existing in the UK since 2006. Regulations into its use started in 2016. Vaping has come to stay and is finally a new culture, a healthier alternative. Vape manufacturers now have apparels, gears, and hats to advertise vaporizers. There are vape bars and online vape communities. Cloud chasing is a competitive vape sport to produce the biggest and thickest vapours is becoming more common.
Kinds of Vapes
1. Vaporizers: They are used to vape dry herbs. It is the most expensive of all the vapes. Weed is turned into vapour through extreme heating.
2. Electronic-cigarettes: E-juice or e-liquid is turned into vapour. They are the most common vaporizer type. They may be flavoured e-juices with or without nicotine.
3. Vape Tanks: It comes in 4 major types; Standard, Re-buildable dripping Atomizers, Re-buildable tank atomizers and Sub-Ohm.
4. Vape Mods: It is an enhanced vape mod enhanced with extra parts, more power and features. It is easier to inhale and produces vape tricks such as big plumes or thick vapour.
In comparing the dangers of smoking, vaping or e-smoking are clear winners of the nicotine war. Potentially safer, environmentally cleaner, less harmful and lower nicotine levels, it offers a better alternative to smoking.
Many treatments administered to ailing patients these days are mostly to combat the manifestation of the diseases they are suffering from, and in most cases these manifestations tend to disappear after the treatments have be done...unfortunately it doesn't necessarily mean that the source of the symptoms have been found and rectified. Conventional treatments usually involve several doses of very unpalatable medicines — that also bring about very horrible side effects, painful injections and intravenous fluid therapies that may cause swelling of the body and sometimes temporarily hamper mobility, and invasive surgeries that are meant to rectify body functions by manipulating the inner anatomy of the body. All these common treatments, though somewhat effective, tend to neglect the core of the health issue facing the patient, instead concentrating more on solving the visible abnormalities responsible for the patient's suffering.
What is holistic medicine?
Holistic medicine is a unique brand of health care that saddles itself with nurturing a patient's body from the state of unwellness until the condition of the body returns to its normal level prior to the onset of the illness. It accomplishes this by not only finding the root source of the health problem, but also administering to that source several types of less invasive treatments until the body returns to its default wellbeing. Holistic medicine doesn't approach illnesses and diseases in the same light as conventional medicine, it explores beyond the physical state of the patient, taking a comprehensive look at the emotional and mental structure of the patient's mind. More often than not, the root or underlying cause of a physical illness tend to be non-physical; but conventional medicine neglects this possibility to aggressively focus on the symptoms, which does provide a quick fix to the problem...but leaves the cause unattended to.
With Holistic medicine, healing is approached from several channels thus ensuring that a solution to the medical condition is swiftly identified and tackled. By utilizing all mediums of human wellbeing including physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual, true healing and the restoration of normal body functions can by effectively facilitated.
Potency of holistic medicine
Holistic medicine should not be seen as an alternative to conventional medicine, simply because their visualisation and approach to disease detection and treatment vastly differ. In fact it is really not appropriate to categorize holistic medicine as a type of healthcare; it can be accurately described as a way of life...a lifestyle of some sorts. Because the journey to effective living and an infirmity free life never truly ends, one must continuously seek holistic measures and answers in a bid to enjoy true health.
Again, holistic medicine shouldn't be mopped up in the same category as spiritual healing, which has no factual substance to back its application. The Doctors that practice holistic medicine are highly trained and knowledgeable — capable diagnosing and treating the direst of physical conditions. It is very important to consult a competent holistic healer in order to not only get the safest of treatments but to also ensure that your time and money isn't wasted.

Home » The Health and Beauty benefits of Macadamia Oil
For Your Health
Macadamia oil is cholesterol free and the oil has a beautiful nutty flavour which is ideal in salad dressings as a nice alternative to olive oil. It has a high smoke point (210'C or 410'F) so is perfect for shallow frying and it can be used as a tasty alternative to other oil in baking. Macadamia oil is a very stable oil and has a long shelf life which is due to the low levels of unstable Omega 6 fatty acids and high levels of stable Omega 3 fatty acids such as Oleic Acid.
Macadamia oil is widely regarded as one of the healthiest edible oils in the world because of its very high proportion of monounsaturated oil (82%). The high oleic acid content in macadamia oil which is even higher than olive oil, makes it important for re-balancing your cholesterol levels and reducing the amount of triglycerides in the blood. Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are the most commonly discussed fats, and ideally, our bodies would have an even balance. Macadamia nut oil offers this balance, making it optimal for the human body as a great source of these fats.
For your skin
Because it is so similar to the natural sebum present in the skin, when macadamia is applied to the skin the oil quickly penetrates the outer layer of skin. It is also highly anti-inflammatory, one of the key reasons that macadamia oil helps to calm and soothe irritated skin.
Macadamia oil contains more than 60% oleic acid that is great for softening skin, regenerating skin cells, moisturizing skin, and is a natural anti-inflammatory. Our oil is also unique due to its high content of Palmitoleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid that avoids oxidation and fits with the skins fatty acid composition. Palmitoleic acid is found in human sebum among the young, but the level dramatically drops in mature skin. Macadamia oil is among the closest of all botanical oils to human sebaceous oil.
Phytosterols are found in macadamia oil in effective amounts mostly made up from B-sitosterol with some campesterol and stigmasterol . These phytosterols behave like cortisone to reduce itchiness, redness, and sooth irritated skin.
Macadamia nut oils are rich sources of squalene, a naturally occurring antioxidant present in human skin surface lipids that protects us from sun-induced lipid peroxidation. It's primarily used in our bodies to synthesize both cholesterol and vitamin D, but its role in macadamia nuts is to prevent oxidative damage .

Manchester self-help group member Max Gattie comments upon presentations held at the 3rd biennial event in Belgium, and suggests therapy contributions of his own. Below that, Susan Clark SLT reports on Trudy Stewart's presentation 'Bridges'.
Squirreled away down an Antwerp side street is Lessius College. Since 2006, this has been the headquarters of the European Clinical Specialisation Fluency Disorders (ECSF), an initiative to harmonise qualifications for work with adults and children who stammer across Europe. To this end it hosts a biennial conference, split across research and clinical developments. This kind of event, gathering parties from around the world, really is the lifeblood of attempts to understand stammering, and it was with some anticipation that I boarded a flight to Belgium in March.
You can see all of the presentations - including mine - online at www.ecsf.eu(1); it's a great place to spend a couple of hours. In what follows I'll give a selective account of proceedings. There was too much for me to cover so I've picked out a few things I think are important.
Research developments
Deryk Beal gave an overview of brain activity in stammering. A common finding is that it switches from the left to the right hemisphere; there is other unusual activity as well. But this raises a tricky question: are we looking at the activity and physiological difference that's causing outward displays of stammering, or are the changes in brain activity and morphology merely attempts to cope with the stammering? You could even get both effects happening on top of each other. We can investigate further with tests on children; since their history of stammering is shorter, we'd expect long-term effects to be accordingly lessened. Studies like this are ongoing.
Typically, explanations of stammering focus on abnormalities. Certainly, people who stammer have very obvious problems in these areas. But I can't help thinking that this misses the bigger picture of the large amount of fluent speech you can observe in all but the most severe stammering. Any complete theory of stammering will need to build in this variability from the outset. It wasn't at all clear to me how presenters intended to do this, and I'd suggest that future work should focus on this area. Of course, I'm bound to say so because that's what my presentation was about - I'm hardly an impartial bystander.
Therapy contributions
I'd like to suggest a new way to tackle the therapy debate. I think it's easier to understand mainstream therapies by looking at what they have in common. And I suggest that this is the insertion of deliberate prolongations(2) into speech. For people who stammer there are three ways to do this:
1. On every sound;
2. On sounds where you think you'll stammer;
3. On sounds where you don't think you'll stammer.
If you're doing 1., it's fluency shaping; 2. is block modification; and 3. is voluntary stammering, which isn't a type of therapy but may be used as a component of one. It's in the difference between fluency shaping and block modification that the discussion usually falls. By the way, I should point out that there's a bit more to both therapies than what I've described above (e.g. both should involve some psychotherapy, relaxation techniques, etc). It's just the similarities in phonation I'm focusing on here.
In Antwerp, Susan Block represented the first approach, and Trudy Stewart the second(3). Both are expert therapists at the very top of their profession (see 'Bridges' below for an outline of Trudy's presentation). But I can't help preferring approaches centred around block modification. This follows from the explanation above. It turns out that fluency shaping is logically a limiting case of block modification therapy(4), one in which the modification is applied pre-emptively to every sound. This may be the ideal solution for some - indeed, I think it is, and Susan showed a video of one case. The problem is, it won't be the best route for everybody. In particular, it won't do for those who are put off by the therapy's more robotic aspects arising, as they do, both in the manner of instruction and in the initial form of the fluent speech. Fluency shapers will reply that you can get around this. With a good therapist like Susan, sessions will be productive and speech should regain its usual prosody fairly quickly(5). But why force all stammerers into such a clinical straitjacket? Can't they choose the type of therapy that's best for them? Maybe the total elimination of stammering isn't even an appropriate goal. I think the early meetings should thus be ones of guidance, not prescription, with both parties agreeing the form of future work from the full range of options available.
I should say why I think this matters. Readers can hardly have missed the changes that the government has imposed on the NHS, ignoring public and professional opinion. The ramifications are difficult to predict, but adherence to the plan would increase granularity in service provision. As such, and with Primary Care Trusts already abolished and GPs hard-pushed to fill the breach, reliance on general business measures (sometimes called 'evidence based practice') would follow. In such a world fluency shaping is poised to become the therapy of choice. It can be delivered in a highly prescriptive manner, and with the precise measures of success (i.e. via reduction in syllables stammered(6)) beloved by business. It's a bit like the production line delivery of perfectly-shaped mannequins. As outlined above, I think such a dissolution of choice would be retrograde for people who stammer.
There's a lot I've been unable to cover: Ludo Max on motor control, Marilyn Langevin on adolescents, Paul Brocklehurst on linguistic approaches, Joseph Agius on use of humour, just to mention a few. You can see these and more on the website (footnote 1 below). The conference itself will be back in 2014 and is well worth a visit.
1 You can see all the presentations at www.ecsf.eu/news-and-events/european-symposium-on-fluency-disorders-2012...
2 Or you could use repetitions instead. This would be the Wendell Johnson 'bounce' technique, and it ties in with the idea that either prolongations or repetitions are primitive to stammering.
3 This isn't quite accurate, since Trudy actually offers a holistic approach which includes fluency shaping if appropriate. But if you follow along with the rest of my argument, you'll see that I view this as an outgrowth of block modification anyway.
4 Consider that Van Riper's Treatment of Stuttering (1973) - the locus classicus for block modification therapies - is as much a collection of anecdotes as anything else. You can read it as a suggested sequence for the therapist to improvise around. Indeed, speech typical of fluency shaping is specifically addressed during the identification and variation stages. Thus working out a programme for someone which happens to focus on fluency shaping could easily fall within the auspices of block modification.
5 Indeed, it seemed to me that Susan demonstrated the typical prosody resulting from fluency shaping throughout her talk. If so, this is commendable.
6 And an unfortunate side-effect of this is that in some implementations where professional standards are scanty or absent, failures can be blamed on the person who stammers. This is deleterious, and motivational conflicts should have been addressed before the start of therapy proper.
By Susan Clark, the Stammering Support Centre
Trudy Stewart, Consultant Speech and Language Therapist at the Stammering Support Centre, delivered a reflective piece titled 'Bridges', which explored the therapeutic alliance between the client, setting out on a therapeutic journey, and the clinician, supporting the client in planning and managing that journey.
She began by introducing the metaphor of bridge building, discussing the variety of structures and components to utilise as well as surveying the terrain and determining the crossing points. A bridge is central to moving across boundaries. Likewise, a successful therapeutic partnership is based on a secure, yet flexible connection, developed and maintained between clinician and client.
Trudy described clients' journeys through therapy which may include negotiating 'difficult terrain', and the client finding themselves in places where they feel vulnerable. The client-centred clinician listens, accepts and supports the client to set their own agenda described in the manner of bridge building, ensuring that the structure is established on secure foundations, is able to withstand adverse conditions and is well placed to be useful to reach the place the traveller wishes to arrive at.
The analogy of bridge building representing the client/therapist partnership is evocative of the concept of a journey. A traveller reaching a bridge is leaving one place and going towards another. On the way, the support of the bridge is required but is no longer needed on arrival at the other side. Like the bridge, the therapeutic alliance has a start and an ending.
The presentation was an insight into many years of Trudy's own reflective practice, and encouraged the listeners to consider what goes on in therapy and to reflect on their own understanding of the processes involved.

Backbone Radio with Matt Dunn - March 12, 2017 - HR 1
Dangerous Times in America. A Friday night "intruder" at the White House. A Wikileaks release of the CIA-damning "Vault Number Seven" archive, and swirling accusations of Team Obama eavesdropping on candidate Trump. Why is an anger-fueled CNN placing the White House in the semi-literal crosshairs? Has the mainstream media finally crossed over into insanity? We scrutinize media bias in the handling of U.S. Attorney resignations, and we play "sad little violins" for reporters complaining about their lack of "down" time in covering the high-velocity President Trump. Meanwhile, it seems the Democrats have quietly dropped their Russian Conspiracies behind the piano. What are they afraid of? Plus, a summarium of Obamacare 2.0, simmering Leftist disillusion with the Obama Legacy, and not missing George Will on the Sunday Shows. With Listener Calls & Music via Weezer, the Shins, Social Distortion and Antonio Lucio Vivaldi.


text: SportsMets Neil Walker has to leave Mets' win early after being hit by one-hopper Bartolo Colon #40 of the New York Mets pitches during the first inning against the Milwaukee Brewers at Miller Park on June 9, 2016 in Milwaukee. Photo Credit: Getty Images / Mike McGinnis By Marc Carig email@example.com June 9, 2016 11:22 PM Print Share fbShare Tweet Email MILWAUKEE — Neil Walker stood on the grass, his hands on his knees, doubled over with a glazed look on his face. The Mets second baseman had just been struck square in the chest by a one-hop rocket, clocked at 107 mph off the bat of the Brewers' Hernan Perez. The ball caromed and trickled to his left, far enough for Kirk Nieuwenhuis to beat Walker's throw home and cut the Mets' lead in half. But for the moment, the main concern wasn't the run in what became the Mets' 5-2 win over the Brewers. At a time when every game seemingly costs something, it was Walker who provided the most tense moment of the evening. After lingering on the field for a minute or two, the trainer returned to the dugout, Walker straightened himself and stayed in the game. But when his turn came to bat in the ninth, Walker was lifted for a pinch-hitter, Matt Reynolds. With that, even on an encouraging night, the Mets were forced to brace themselves for another potential loss to a lineup that is already missing David Wright, Lucas Duda and Travis d'Arnaud. Bartolo Colon, the savvy veteran, put on a master class in limiting damage. He allowed eight hits but kept the Brewers to just one run in seven innings. He helped himself by coaxing three timely double plays and ended an inning by picking off Scooter Gennett at first base. Curtis Granderson, who began the day hitting .203, blasted his 11th homer of the season and his sixth to lead off a game. He tied Jose Reyes' franchise record with six leadoff homers. Yoenis Cespedes finished with two hits including an RBI single, a sign that he may be thawing from a cold snap. And with the Mets leading 2-1 in the eighth, catcher Kevin Plawecki delivered the biggest hit of the night. With the bases loaded, Plawecki bounced one past a diving Jonathan Villar at shortstop, scoring James Loney and Asdrubal Cabrera to give the Mets a 4-1 lead. It was a big hit for Plawecki, who lugged a .200 batting average to the plate. He has increasingly ceded playing time to the veteran Rene Rivera, who is known primarily for his defense. When the Brewers got a run back in the eight on Gennett's RBI double, the Mets answered in the ninth. Given a chance to hit, Reynolds knocked doubled in a run. The hit scored Juan Lagares, the centerfielder who entered as a defensive replacement the previous inning and hit for himself in the ninth inning. It was his first game action since suffering a partial tear of his ligament while making a diving catch on Saturday. Lagares bounced one back through the box, then motored hard around first before sliding into second, putting himself into position to score. For one night, rather than add to the growing ranks of the walking wounded, the Mets actually appeared to regain a piece. But that may have turned out to be a mirage. Walker, 30, has been a revelation for the Mets. Entering play, he ranked second on the team with an .842 OPS, behind just Cespedes for the team lead. But his removal caps what has been a rough few days. A Pittsburgh native, Walker was swarmed during his homecoming against the Pirates, the franchise that drafted, developed and then ultimately traded him away. He had just one error on the season before committing three in two days against the Pirates. Now, the Mets must sweat out another possible injury to a key cog.

This is a National Forest Service (NFS) campground 26 miles west of Lolo, Montana on Highway 12. It is a typical NFS campground - rustic, no hookups or any other amenities. What is unusual are the wide paved roads and large sites which could accommodate large rigs. Trees do not interfere with navigating through this campground and parking in the sites. If you are a Lewis & Clark buff following their trip through the Bitterroot Mountains, this is a great place to park if you are equipped to dry camp for a few days. If I were comparing this campground to other NFS campgrounds, I would give it a rating of 9 or 10. - Comdac

Nice little forest service campground to spend the night. No hookups. We were in a 32 foot Class A pulling a car. There were a number of pull through spots big enough that we didn't have to unhook. Has a nice feeling of being in the middle of nowhere. I consider that a good thing. A little traffic noise was the only negative. - Russell G

This was a one night stay. Spaces are close to each other we stayed in the back loop close to the water. No sewer hook up but they do have a station.
It was quiet for most part my wife heard live music at times from across the street. The restroom and showers need attention. Not bad for the money but needs attention. - mcomeaux

This is a Forest Service campground. Very nice paved access roads and about 10 pull through sites. Tables and fire rings at most sites. Quiet but immediately adjacent to the Lolo Pass Highway 12. 15 miles west of Lolo. Nothing fancy but a great outdoor experience. You need to be self contained but there are pit toilets and water spigots available. - rncordy

We stayed in a spot in rear of campground next to creek. It was nice and fairly quiet. Roads were in bad shape and big ruts. Considering the location and available CG's this place worked for us. It's pretty rustic. - mcomeaux
Jun 2016 - $25.00
This park is located on a site that is beautiful. It has large boulders, small stream flowing alongside the park, sites are large, easy access. WIFI is acceptable. No ATT phone or TV. Entry roads are lightly gravel with deep ruts, and muddy areas. Sites are grass to dirt and could be messy with rain.
Problem with the park is that they have a junk school bus in the middle of the property that is trashy, and another old trailer that looks like something out of "Breaking Bad." We had no problems there and the two ladies were very nice, but the junk was awful. - johnmack

Rate is for water and electric only.. $3.00 more for sewer. This park is absolutely beautiful. Lots of pine trees and the river is on back side of campground. Feels like a country setting and so quiet. Maximum stay allowed is 14 days on average. Would definitely stay here again. While there we drove down to the Idaho visitor center about 45 minutes away, then stopped and did a hike on the way back. So much to see in the area. - goofy50

We really love Lolo and this is our second time at this park; prices have gone up a bit, but so it goes everywhere. Anyway, this is not a resort type of park, nor is it an urban park. It's in a lovely area, a bit off the beaten path and a bit on the funky side - all things we really like. Some people have said they don't like folks on the bicycles riding around - but I kindof found it charming. The old guys and gals always smiled and waved. Anyway, it's not for everyone, but one of our favorites. We had great Wi-fi most of the time - good enough to use the firestick, so that's always a plus. But occasionally, nothing worked, so it wasn't perfect. No cable TV either, but not a bad selection of antenna selections. It might be difficult getting a decent satellite signal as there are a lot of trees about. But even with these few quirks, we had another great time here and would come back again. - Ellistea
Sep 2018 - $30.00
Excellent welcome and RV park. Bathrooms are a little dated but no worries. Free cold wash and clothesline. I wanted to stay longer, it felt like we were in a forest service campground with hookups. Wonderful. Quiet. The rest of the parks in town after the Labor day holiday were filling up fast. This one also, a few sites available...Least expensive in town and I didn't notice the square dancing, not really a big influence on the park. - saturn7

Paved roads with gravel pads. You have your choice of open, shaded, or partially shaded spots. They are 3 fenced dog areas, a pool, adults only hot tub, solid full hookups, okay wifi, an onsite retail store, and clean bathrooms and showers.

Some of the happiest / friendliest staff anywhere. Paved roads with some paved, some gravel pull throughs. Or site was really shady an it being the end of the summer, the grass was pretty much non-existent which made for muddy floor in the coach. Very convenient location to walk or bike to a number of restaurants and other shopping. Would stay again. - Gewehr Travels

This is our local "go to" campground. Quiet, beautiful, well maintained. Some sites are along Bass Creek. Great hiking trails. Address is actually Florence, MT, off Hwy 93 at the end of Bass Creek Rd. between Stevensville and Florence. Some pull thrus. Recommend that anything over 36 feet NOT go down the right (west) loop due to a tree that hinders maneuverability to swing the loop. Have seen some rigs bigger than our 36 footer get in big trouble here. Dump stations available about 25 miles in either direction, north in Missoula or south in Hamilton. - Susan - Richard Nelson

This place was probably nice at some point? Bring a spool of cable if you want to use the TV. The sewer and water are 25 feet apart so bring several extra sewer connection hoses too. The pull thru sites were not close to being level. The grass is burnt brown. Just for fun we tried the mini golf. The mini golf was probably nice when it was new too. This is a tired old park that has some potential but it needs to be rebuilt to modern standards. There is a very nice park close by however you need advance reservations to get a spot. - Pugbus

Our pull through site was level but had no shade. We had full hook-ups but did not need the sewer which was good because I would have had to use 3 hoses to reach the sewer at the back end of our site. There were several good OTA TV stations and a good Verizon signal. The WiFi worked well. The park is convenient to I-90 and there is a Flying J at the exit. The staff was friendly and we did not see any long term campers. We would stay here again. - MarkandMarty

We stayed at this park with our caravan. All 16 rigs had pull thru sites that were long enough for our motorhomes and you could pull your car up on an angle in front or behind your rig. The bathrooms were AWESOME! - NYParsels

While the landscaping was very pretty it just seems they are trying to make this some sort of "upscale" campground, especially with all the rules. We were supposed to have full hookups but didn't have running water - no apologies, no discount. We were placed in the back of the park so we got to hear a train running through every 2-4 hours during the night and it was so loud. The second night we kept our radio on just to cover the noise. We had people walk their dogs through our campsite three or four times even though it specifically states in their list of many rules not to do that. It appears that they have a lot of people living there. Then there's the fact that there's no fire pits. What's camping without a camp fire? We probably won't be staying there again. - outsider

Booked in advance, staff is friendly and very helpful. Train is nearby but not bothersome for us. Bathhouse is one of the best I've been in. WIFI was excellent, we were told it had just been upgraded. Cable TV was pretty good, only had one channel that didn't come in clear, not exactly sure if it was a problem on their end or mine. AT&T and StraightTalk cell signals weer good. - allen8106

We stayed here in Missoula to have some work done on our motorhome at a facility just down the street. It's a beautiful park! Although we were there in October after the summer, the gorgeous flower beds were still somewhat in bloom and it's apparent that they care about their park. There's an abundance of hand crafted goods in the office for sale ( which I bought) and everything is neat and tidy. Our site was easy to pull into and out of
And all the hookups worked as they should. Our interactions with the owners and one employee were very pleasant, and they seem like really nice, genuine people. Great place and easy to get to. - Harles

This is a small, friendly campground. Most sites are long term people and they have a few cabins. General store has a little bit of everything. Beautiful Yellowstone river across the road! Only stayed one night, good WiFi. - 2VetsRVing
Sep 2018 - $35.00
The campground is easy access from I-90, traveling a couple miles down a narrow paved road. We drive a 45ft motorhome and even though the entrance and campground was a bit tight, we were able to navigate into, through, and out of the campground with the car attached. Internal roads are paved and sites are gravel and relatively close together. Many sites have trees at various locations on the site which can present some difficulties. There was one tree on our site that we needed to push up out of the way in order to open the slide. The site was level and the coach easily level up with the jacks. The utilities are placed to the middle/front of the site and work well with good electric and water pressure. Our site was satellite friendly but we could not get any OTA channels. There are sites with more tree cover which would have made satellite reception difficult. We did not use the laundry or rest rooms so cannot comment on that. There is no designated dog park and one small area that looked like a playground of sorts. The staff in the office (which is in a small store) were very friendly and helpful, both the phone and in person. In general, the campground is in a bit of disrepair. Although the grass is mowed there are many permanent sites, some of which are cluttered and unappealing and several campground building and equipment that are in disrepair. The place is fine for one night while on the road but is not a destination campground. Given the tightness of the sites and CG in general, I don't think we would return but it would be OK for smaller rigs. - LvR

This park is just off I-90 east of Missoula. It has back-in and pull-thru sites, asphalt driveways and gravel site pads. The park is not very attractive with lots of clutter and weeds. The bathrooms are rustic but appeared to be clean. Oddly, the men's room has a laundry within it. On the plus side there is a very nice park-like area near the entrance with a gazebo, shade trees and a play area for children. The included WiFi worked well if you're close to the antenna. We had a very long pull-thru site with full hookups (50 amp electric). We paid $40 per night. - Coopsecondact

Sites were dirt/grass , hard to tell the actual site at first glance. Water, electric (my spot only had 20 Amp) and sewer worked fine. The restaurant has good food, average meal was about $20-25 including tip. People at Park were nice and the workers were very friendly and nice. - MattB

The RV park was packed. We came in without reservations and the only sites available had 20 amp - which meant no a/c for us. We were placed in the shady tree area which was perfect. Close to the restrooms and really close to the creek and wonderful views of the mountains. I used the shower - very awkward set-up which required walking thru one shower dressing area to reach mine. I did not like intruding on the stall next to me to exit while they were showering. My shower was a trickle, while theirs had adequate pressure. We ate at the restaurant for dinner & breakfast. The food is excellent and portions are huge. Loved the homemade soup & jam and the extensive salad bar. Love the historic stage station building that is the restaurant/rv office. Will return again next trip out this way. - LizzyWA
Aug 2016 - $35.00
The best way to summarize this campground is "funky." The full-hookup sites are in an open field and close together. They look to be mostly long-term stays. We chose to stay in the electric/water sites that are not as closely spaced. There is a dump station. About five of these sites are in the open with 30 amp electric. Most are in a wooded area with very unlevel sites with only 20 amp service. You check in at the restaurant. The ladies there were very nice but had no clue of 20 versus 30 amp power. We made reservations, but that was not really necessary, as there were many spaces available. Since we were in the field area, we were able to get satellite with our roof-top dish. Verizon signal was amazingly strong and fast. They do have Internet that was intermediate, sometimes fast and sometimes off. It is far enough away from the Interstate that there was not a lot of traffic noise, but there are train tracks with some train noise, but not bad. Overall it was a pretty quiet, restful stay. This was an OK place to spend the night, but we might try someplace closer in to Missoula. - TheJim

Great big plug
Reviewed: 1 January 2016 by funguy27, a Straight Single Male
This is a brilliant butt plug that gives you a lovely feeling as it stretches your ass wide as it slides in filling you completely.
The three different graduating ridges give a thrilling sensation as they pop in, stretching you then easing before stretching you even more.

- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Brilliant.

Delivers in all the right places
Reviewed: 23 July 2014 by Lucky 7
I've been contemplating this toy for ages. It'd been sat in my 'checkout basket' for a while and I just couldn't justify buying it.
However, after a sporadic need to purchase something, I finally bit the bullet and ordered this.
On arrival, I didn't actually think it looked that big, certainly not as big as I thought the picture showed it. But when it came down to insertion, boy, was I wrong!
I'm not new to anal play and I could only just manage to get it to the second bump. Admittedly I was rather excited and in a hurry to try it out!
The build quality is faultless, and is very firm, yet flexible when you need it to be.
For the price, you can't go wrong. It's the perfect toy for anal training because of the different sized bumps.
Buy this, you won't look back!
- Pros
- Size, flexibility, price, build quality.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- I wish I'd have bought it sooner! Perfect toy!

Bigger than I thought
Reviewed: 22 July 2014 by jayv2014, a Straight Single Male
This is the first butt plug I have ever bought, and boy, I got more than I bargained for with this toy.
Being a beginner, I now realised that I need to start off smaller and work my way up to this beast of a plug. After a week of attempts, I have managed to get the first bump in and it really made me feel full. There is no chance of getting the second in, not yet at least, but I'm determined to conquer this plug.
The plug came well-packaged and is surprisingly flexible with very little smell. It is very easy to handle, and the suction is very good as well. It's very easy to clean.
- Pros
- I liked that it's fairly flexible, great suction to keep in place and easily cleaned.
- Cons
- There's nothing I can fault this plug on.
- Bottom line
- Great toy. Can't wait to get it all in.

French Muslim: 'It's Up to Us' to Save Islam and Everyone Else From Radical Terrorists
74 years ago, on December 7, 1941, the U.S. was attacked by the nation of Japan.
In a surprise assault on Pearl Harbor, more than 2,400 Americans were killed on what President Franklin D. Roosevelt declared "a date which will live in infamy."
In her "Off the Record" commentary tonight, Greta Van Susteren saluted the brave Americans who died at Pearl Harbor and in World War II.
She said she wanted to use this anniversary to honor American courage and our collective will to do the right thing.
"Many lost their lives in World War II defending America, but one thing is certain: Those who came home and those who did not proved when America decides to do something, we can and we will."
