Lost in the noise
Publication Date : 24-07-2012
It turns out that identity-based federalism was the single most decisive factor in the failure of Nepal's Constituent Assembly (CA) to bring out a constitution. Federalism itself is new to Nepal, and the idea of identity-based federalism was so powerful that the country expended an enormous amount of investment in terms of time, money, energy and political capital in the effort to write a constitution which eventually came to naught. There is no denying that life, liberty and happiness are the ends for which we as individuals, families or societies strive with other things serving as the means to get them. Nepal has experimented with family dictatorships, partyless regime and multiparty democracy, and all of these with or without the monarchy. History shows that the wait for a solid path to prosperity has already spanned multiple generations.
Transitioning into a federal structure in and of itself is a paramount undertaking where power sharing between the federal and state governments has to be adopted theoretically (that is, legally) and in practice. An array of structural issues must be configured. For example, what would be the structure of the government and at what levels? What would be their relationships in political and administrative terms? How are the governments formed and how extensive are they at different levels? How are the responsibilities shared between different levels of government? What will be the status of the current districts and village development committees? What will be the structures of the bureaucracy and the courts? How will the fiscal system be managed? Who will have the authority to impose and collect different kinds of taxes? What will be the nature of the fiscal relationships between the federal government and the states and other sub-national governments?
The framers of the constitution have to sort out these issues and they may even have been sorted out from the time we have been hearing that the CA was ready to promulgate the constitution sans the identity issue. But I don't observe them drawing much public interest. No doubt, identity politics has energised citizens a great deal. But one can only wonder if the structuring of political, administrative, legal and financial matters is unimportant when it comes to making a successful transition into a federal democracy. Let's use one of the issues, fiscal federalism, to exemplify how important they are for a successful transition. Federalism is about sharing power and responsibilities for public management and action, and in fiscal terms it means how resources are collected and spent. Money for the public treasury comes from taxes, fees, customs duties and other incomes from government services. The government also counts on bonds, loans and grants to fund its activities.
In the existing centralised system, all kinds of taxes including income, sales, property and estate are within the responsibility and authority of the central government. Other fees, customs duties and government proceeds are also under the purview of the central government. Because revenue collection is centralised, allocations of funds for all public activities also come from the central government and are disbursed to regional, district and local governments. There is also a highly integrated bureaucratic system in which different ministries or agencies have a presence at the central and local levels.
In a federal system, however, there is greater sharing of responsibilities to provide services. Some departments or agencies operate only at the central, state or local level so that the way resources are used would be different. More importantly, who has the authority to collect what kind of taxes would be explicitly spelled out. While it is the people or the beneficiaries of the services who pay the taxes or fees, what level of the government has the designated authority over taxation depends on fiscal coordination. Theoretically, what kind of tax and service structure is appropriate depends on efficiency and equity considerations with the former focusing on the cost and the latter on maintaining fairness across individuals.
If the state government has exclusive authority over certain kinds of taxes and services, then there can be enormous differences across states in the resource base and, therefore, their ability to provide services. Certain states, for example, may be more
prosperous by virtue of having a larger tax base or supply of natural resources, and they will be able to provide better quality and a wider array of services like education or healthcare. It's not that there is no role of intergovernmental grants since they will be necessary to look after states that lack resources to provide services to their residents. But states on their own may choose to tax less and provide less services in which case the federal government cannot require states to increase their services. The capacity of the federal government will be limited by the constitution so that, despite greater need and willingness, it lacks the authority to force states to act against their will.
This leads to disputes between the federal and state governments as is happening in the US right now over expanded coverage of healthcare. While the federal government has intervened on equity grounds to provide healthcare coverage to low income citizens, many states are resisting this move. Under this initiative, the federal government will pay for almost all of the expanded care. But states fear they will be unable to handle the expanded cost after the extra money from the federal government dries up. Even though a major portion of the cost is absorbed by the federal government for a few years, how much the states will have to cover afterward will depend on their fiscal capacity with more prosperous states having to cover larger portions.
No system is static, and issues like these are settled incrementally. Opportunities will arise to revisit the constitutional provisions. But making constitutional amendments in a democracy typically requires a super majority (two-thirds of the votes) and may not happen easily. A question then arises if politicians, civil society leaders, the media and the public care enough to find out whether and how they are appropriately addressed.

The new feature, announced Wednesday, is available on the company's search site and can be accessed with a computer, cell phone or other wireless devices that use SMS (short message service).
Using the service, people can type "movie:" into the Google search window and follow it with keywords to find out film titles, actors, directors and other information. Consumers also can type in local data, such as a zip code, city or state, to find theaters and show times.
The search market is witnessing intense competition, with leading players unveiling new, specialized search offerings in an effort to win market share. Google also recently unveiled a prototype of a service to search TV programming.
Google competitors Yahoo and Microsoft's MSN already have services for searching movie listings and related information.

- These are great features
- I have never really understood this recent push toward search, mainly, why NOW, why not before. Nonetheless, I am really starting to come around to google. I have never really had any allegiance toward one or the other, but the features that google has been developing are really becoming ubiquitous.
Will the define:, movie:, and video features become tabs? I would like it if you could simply type in the term and click through the tabs to see various feature result sets. I'd also like to see the new maps feature incorporated into the "local" site.
I am not sure what revenue model will eventually win, but as a consumer AND a business owner, I am not too happy with the pay for performance model. To me, this allows larger organizations and companies to generate higher visibility and the consumer should be able to have more choices visible. As a small business owner, I can't compete with companies who can afford 10x per click than I can. In addition, if my business is competing at that level, is my 1/10th price that puts me on page 4 even worth it?

LOS ANGELES -- If the Lakers are going to keep blasting teams out of Staples Center the way they have the first two nights of the season, we'll have to find intrigue wherever we can. In the case of their 117-79 demolition of the Clippers on Wednesday, the case at hand was whether Andrew Bynum's 12 points, 9 rebounds and 3 blocked shots are worth, say, $14 million per year.
While it looks like the Lakers are off to the races, having also dispatched Portland by 20 points, Bynum's extension talks are coming down to the wire. Players under their rookie scale contract, as Bynum is, have until Friday to sign an extension. Otherwise Bynum can become a restricted free agent next summer. After a period of limited progress, one source familiar with the negotiations said the Lakers and Bynum are close to agreement on a three-year contract extension worth approximately $42 million.
As one NBA executive put it, "The clock brings things into focus."
For the Lakers, the desire to lock up a player who has shown the potential to join the small fraternity of elite big men in the NBA has been tempered by the small sample pool of games in which Bynum has actually performed well. He was used sparingly as a rookie, his production dropped off after a solid start to his second season, then his breakout third year was cut short by a knee injury in January. Bynum is averaging 7.2 points and 5.6 rebounds per game in his career.
The proposed contract -- which has a fourth-year team option that would take the total value to $58 million -- would give Bynum the maximum annual salary but limit the Lakers' long-term liability if Bynum's career does not continue its upward arc. The longest and largest extension Bynum could sign would be five years and approximately $85 million.
The job description really isn't too demanding. Score a dozen or so points. Grab 9 or 10 rebounds. Oh, and be 7 feet tall. Bynum can do those things.
He didn't in the season opener, when he missed 6 of 10 shots, scored 8 points and grabbed 3 rebounds, when nerves and the hype of a matchup against Greg Oden made him go too fast and try too hard.
He contributed in a variety of ways Wednesday: Blocking a Tim Thomas drive down the lane or forcing Cuttino Mobley to put extra-high arc on a shot, muscling his way to a rebound, or draining a 16-foot jump shot, slamming home an alley-oop.
"It looked more like me out there tonight," Bynum said. "I was able to just kind of run and let the game come to me. I hit a couple of open shots I missed last night. The biggest difference was I just wasn't too anxious out there."
Bynum's first true taste of the business side of basketball had been one of the subplots of Lakers training camp. From the beginning, coach Phil Jackson expressed confidence that his young center would not let the negotiations interfere with his play, and he said that has largely been the case.
The local populace isn't fretting about Bynum's extension the way it's worried about the Dodgers re-signing Manny Ramirez. And Bynum hasn't worried that much about the money to come. Actually, this is the easy part. He's still about potential, still given allowances for youth, not faced with the demands that come with experience, past performance and big money. Just ask Chris Kaman, who crumbled the first season after he signed a five-year, $52.5 million extension.
Still, Kaman's averages through five seasons (10 points and 8 rebounds per game) are better than Bynum's through three. Is it too much to ask Bynum to outdo Chris Kaman before Bynum starts to get paid like Yao Ming and Pau Gasol?
Bynum was the better center Wednesday, as Kaman finished with 8 points, 5 rebounds and 4 turnovers.
Jackson said Bynum "had a strong game. He had some things happen for him successfully tonight."
If Jackson didn't sound especially complimentary, it's because he still has 80 games of coaching to do. That's why he was nitpicking afterward, saying things like "We struggled in the first quarter."
Uneasy rests the crown of the defending Western Conference champs and the predicted league winners this season. As Jackson said, "The hardest thing to do is play up to your expectations."
It looks like Bynum is about to find out for himself.

Democratic Party (Japan, 1947)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Democratic Party (1947))
Not to be confused with Democratic Party of Japan (1996-1998 and 1998-present) or Japan Democratic Party (1954-1955).
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (January 2015)
Democratic Party (民主党, Minshutō) was a right-wing political party in Japan. It was founded in spring 1947 by merging the Progressive Party (Shinpo-tō) of Inukai Takeru with a faction of Liberal Party led by Hitoshi Ashida and obtained 124 seats in 1947 elections. The party had held seven seats in Tetsu Katayama's government in 1947-1948. For some months in 1948, party's leader Ashida was Prime minister.
In March 1948, part of DP members led by Kijūrō Shidehara joined the Liberal Party. In 1949 elections, the DP got 69 seats. The party was finally merged with People's Cooperative Party (Kokumin Kyodoto) to form People's Democratic Party (Kokumin Minshuto) in April 1950.

Ponies are stubborn bitches. That is why we bought a mini. =]
I hate this common thought.
A. Your photos tell me that your "mini" is a pony because a Miniature Horse is under 38" and your height and the way you look together do not ad up. I would guess she's between 10.3 and 11.2hh? That IS a pony.
B. If she was a Miniature Horse most if not all minis arrived from Shetland breeding, Shetlands are ponies so you'd be dealing with a small pony anyways.
From there no, ponies are not "all bitches" but people put children on them to ride... Take ANY horse and let a kid at it with no adult training and it will develop snotty behaviors as well. Ponies are smart and quick, thus miss under stood more often than not.
And lastly yes, you are to large for the pony your riding in the photos but there are ways around that if "you" want to train her yourself.

From Dickies, the company known for quality and toughness, this classic missy-fit lab coat has a notched collar and a four-button closure. Features two angled patch pockets and two pockets with pleated details. Back yoke, princess seams, and an adjustable back belt with buttons complete this coat.
Love the styling, and the fabric. It's quite soft and much sturdier than I thought it would be. The embroidery was perfect, too. I ordered a medium and could have used a large; however, I don't ever button the coat, and the fabric is so heavy that I would be too warm if I did. I am a science teacher in an urban middle school, and purchased this because I wanted a more professional image. The kids love it and so do I!
Purchased these (2nd time) for myself and another doctor. We are both fairly short (5'4) and a size 6 and a size 4. We ordered these jackets in a size small and they fit great. They don't swallow us like other lab coats do, look very professional and are reasonably priced.
was purchased as a gift for my daughter and she loves it, fit very nice
Great lab coat! Good length, nice pockets, nice quality, soft cotton fabric. Does tend to pick up lint and pet fur easily but nothing lint rollers can't fix. Sizing accurate. Embroidery was bigger than shown online. Very happy with this purchase.
I ordered three of these lab coats for my position as a veterinarian. The fit and fabric are wonderful. My only concern is that it may be too warm in the summer months

While major events around the world like the Admiral's Cup in the UK and Kenwood Cup in Hawaii were in terminal decline, this 40ft Bruce Farr® designed yacht has shone like a beacon on a distant shore.
The lavish, limited edition The Fabulous 40s book produced with the support of long-time Farr 40 Class sponsor Rolex, tells the story behind this remarkable Class.
Lavishly illustrated with more than 350 pictures, many of them double page spreads taken by some of the best photographers in the world, including Carlo Borlenghi, Daniel Forster and Kurt Arrigo, this 240 page book captures the close racing and comradeship between crews competing in many of the best locations in the world. This is a book for all yacht race enthusiasts and lists the results of all the Rolex world championships from 1998-2011 as well as owners and their yachts.

What Australian Sailing + Yachting magazine said:
'While Bob Fisher's text is excellent, it is the photographs that make this book a collector's item. With double-page spreads being some 600mm wide and drawing on the talent of legendary sailing photographers such as Kurt Arrigo, Carlo Borlenghi, Daniel Forster and our own Andrea Francolini, any yacht racing fan will sit for hours just gazing at the images.'

Fun, Creative, Open Minded – Looking For Someone Similar
I would describe myself as ambitiously creative, thoughtfully observant, and candidly silly. I am an artist, photographer, writer, reader, and doodler, amongst many other things. I'm always looking for ways to expand my knowledge. I love going to used bookstores, farmers markets, and trying new restaurants/recipes. I also love traveling, be it by plane (love airports), train (never been on one but I am sure I would love it), or automobile (road trips are the best, little or big). I grew up moving around a lot and find it hard to stay in one place for too long. I used to volunteer at my college radio station and am now even more obsessed with indie rock, folk, electronic and experimental music. I've been listening to a lot of Phantogram and TEEDinosaurs lately, and one of my newest favorite songs is Royals by Lorde. I'd like to meet someone open minded when it comes to music, art, and culture; I'm a huge fan of live shows in intimate venues, First Friday art walks, and film festivals/community space film screenings, so it'd be super fantastic if you enjoyed going to these sorts of things. I'm most attracted to people who are adventurous and spontaneous. I think deep thinkers are sexy. Silly, sarcastic, and/or witty humor is a necessity. Physically, I find dark hair, light eyes, beards, and/or glasses all huge turn-ons. The only real deal breakers for me are loudly boisterous, arrogant and/or ignorant people who speak before they think about what they're saying, and poor spelling (especially now that virtually everything has spell-check). Other than that, I think you'll find that I'm generally very laid back and like to have a good time :)
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Gardening/Landscaping , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Wine tasting
Bowling, Dancing, Tennis / Racquet sports, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking, Yoga
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I like Cats, Dogs
I don't have any pets for now but I love other people's pets!
Very Liberal
I love NYC, San Fran, the south (Carolinas and Savannah, GA especially), as well as many places in Northern Colorado where I've spent most of my life so far. I can't wait to visit Europe as soon as possible!
University of Colorado at Boulder, Boulder, CO
I love all ethnic foods: Italian, Mexican, Chinese, sushi, Indian, Ethiopian, etc. I will try anything once, as long as it doesn't kill me or is too far outside my comfort zone. I couldn't live without my cameras, bubble baths, and big cozy sweaters.
I love photography, sculpting, writing, illustrating, doodling, stargazing, road trips (getting lost is the best part), and great conversations over brunch and bloody marys. I frequent libraries, aquariums, and art museums/galleries.
I love anything by SARK, Miranda July, Tao Lin, Augusten Burroughs, Walt Whitman and Virginia Woolf. I love reading blogs and magazines about art, fashion, cooking, music, and interior design

Honey, I'm so sorry. Grieving the loss of one or more of a multiples pregnancy is very complicated and filled with many feelings that seem unnatural...but they're all normal feelings.
The Center for Loss in Multiple Births (http://www.climb-support.org) has good information on dealing with grief with the loss of one twin. I hope that helps you.

What does "Humanistic" mean?05/11/2011
Humanistic thought holds that people are active agents in a process of constantly engaging their humanity, instead of passive mechanisms or parts upon which doctors, workplaces, and systems act.
Humanistic thought holds that people cannot be reduced to components, but instead are whole beings, with intrinsic dignity, whose subjective experiences must be valued.
To really understand people, you can't look at an MRI image. You can't look at a test score. You can't refuse to talk about anything except "behavior." Deep down, we all know that.
To really understand people, you have to grapple with emotions; with love, with desire, with anger, with fear. You have to deal with aspirations: with hope, with ambition, with self-actualization.
To really understand people, you have to look at the systems they participate in, the cultures they come from, and the way their internal worlds connect with the collective structures around them.
Throughout the history of ideas, many movements have refused to do this because the human experience is rich and troublesome, messy and complex. They have sought to use methods that offer yes-or-no answers, and in so doing tried to reduce people to charts and binary functions. People are economic actors, or the sum of their political decisions, their faith community, or the neurotransmitters running through their brains - and nothing more.
The humanistic perspective emerged out of a movement to approach people as they truly are, and to try to understand them on their own terms. It asks the big questions - what is the human spirit? What binds us together? What does it mean to be alive? - because these are the questions that many people are trying to answer.
A humanistic university not only encourages students to ask those questions, in a meaningful way that is relevant to their lives and work, but teaches that way; treating its students as unique individuals with unique talents, passions, and life's work, rather than as cookie-cutter "customers" to be loaded up with pre-fab knowledge and sent along. A humanistic university empowers students to make choices that are relevant and meaningful, and teaches them how to take their lives and careers to the next level. A humanistic university believes that education and service go hand in hand, and that results can best be measured by the way they improve the lives of real people. It focuses on qualitative research as much as quantitative, on human potential as much as profit, and on spirit as much as mind.
Saybrook is one of the world's leading centers for scholarship in the humanistic tradition. The Journal of Humanistic Psychology, one of the movement's leading publication, has always been edited by a Saybrook faculty member.
Today, Saybrook University's mission, vision, and programs remain grounded in a belief in human potential and the conviction that all human beings are capable of personal growth and achieving higher states of consciousness.
Music is good for the soul -- and music therapy is good for the body05/11/2011
Music is good for the soul – maybe that's why new research shows it can also be healing.
A study published in the journal Music and Medicine featured a successful project that used music therapy with palliative (or hospice) care. Sandi Curtis, professor at Concordia University Department of Creative Arts, pulled together professional musicians to work alongside music therapists to provide 101 terminally ill individuals ranging in age from 18-101 years old with single music therapy sessions that lasted between 15 to 60 minutes.
The goal of the intervention was to relieve the pain, encourage relaxation, increase quality of life and improve mood. The results were positive, so positive that a few of the families and participants requested music be played at the time that they died. Music soothed the soul during one of the most deeply soulful and spiritual points in life.

Why other people know you better than you know yourself -- and how it can help05/10/2011
Others may know you better than you know yourself.
Researchers Simine Vazire and Erika Carlson explore this self-defining issue in an article published in the Current Directions in Psychological Science. (This study is actually a follow up to their 2010 study which was published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology).
In their 2011 piece, Vazire and Carlson suggest others have a better picture of who we are than we do. Why? Apparently we have a blind spot that is a result of what they refer to as "motivated cognitive process" in other words at some level we are motivated to not see all that we are. Those motivations can be conscious or unconscious, seen or hidden.
They suggest that we have a better concept of who we are internally, meaning we can tell what's going on inside whether anger, anxiety or optimism. On the other hand, others have a better view of the external picture of us. For example, a good friend may tell you that you give off a confident energy when you may not believe that you do. According to this research your friend is probably right. But they are probably not picking up on what is going on inside you – all of that anxiety behind the confidence. This doesn't mean the confidence is not there. It means that both are present and part of your experience.
Vazire research shows that across the board, others are able to give accurate impressions of one another: but here are exceptions.
Are good communication skills the foundation of psychological success?05/09/2011
In conversation, as in life, it turns out that the little things matter a lot.
How you talk can make or break you. In fact, there is an entire science devoted to improving face-to-face communication – and it suggests that flawed communication is a major source of relationship distress and demise.
In Is Your Communication Style Affecting Your Relationship for Better or for Worse?, Dr. Sherrie Bourg Carter suggests that conversational styles and patterns in relationships are a major source of clandestine stress. Dr. Bourg Carter contends that many relationships and communications involve parties who are essentially speaking "a different language" depending on their level of directness, assertiveness, and compassion.
Dr. Bourg Carter is among many psychologists who suggest the importance of effective face-to-face communication for relationships and interpersonal fulfillment. It's long been suggested that communication depends on the on "skill sets" or "talk habits" in one's conversational repertoire.
In The Talk Book: The Intimate Science of Communicating in Close Relationships, author Dr. Gerald Goodman explores the skill sets needed for improved communication, transformed relationships, and fulfilled interpersonal relations. Dr. Goodman purports that changing six talking habits will transform all facets of your life.
Here's some suggestions:
You can't diagnose a mental disorder the way you fix a toaster - but the DSM keeps trying05/06/2011
It's been a busy for the manual of mental disorders.
A new organizational framework was announced for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). Published by the American Psychiatric Association, it's the book doctors look at to decide if you're crazy and what medicine to prescribe for it. It may or may not be accurate – but it's a big deal.
The newest version, now scheduled for May 2013, is proposing to restructure previous categories and chapters to reflect scientific advancements and hypothesized.
Sounds good, but there's one big problem: the DSM has always been flawed, and the proposed DSM-5 looks to be no better.
The flaw is that it tries very hard to figure out symptoms, but no time at all trying to understand people.
There's no empirical validation to this approach … and it's packed with conflicts of interest to the drug companies who benefit each time a new symptom is deemed "treatable" by drugs.

Join Purzel Videos
Unlike other websites that dress up girls in their 20s and try to pass them off as teens, Purzel Videos brings you girls who are actually 18 or 19. These German babes haven't shot porn before, but are eager to show the world how naughty they can be.
PurzelVideos looks good and is easy to navigate. The newest videos and models are on the homepage and they're showcased alongside an assortment of other scenes. You can use links near the top of the page to access the model index and the full movie collection.
The site's got 372 videos for you to check out and they're sorted so that the newer ones show up first, but there are other ways that you can sort them. Each flick is represented by a thumbnail that gives you an idea of what you can expect. If there's a certain kind of girl or a specific sex act you want to see, you can use content tags to locate them.
The movies show teens stripping, masturbating, getting off with the help of other girls, giving blowjobs, having sex and threesomes, and getting creampied. You can see all this and more, but be aware that the only way to enjoy them is by streaming them in an embedded player. It sucks that you can't save the flicks, but on the bright side the streams look good, load quickly and allow you to jump to any point without delay.
The site's got pictures, but there isn't a separate photo section. To find them, you need to go looking through the videos - some of them come with pics and some don't. There are 184 photo galleries with high-res images and you get even larger versions when you download the Zip files.
There are around 20 or so other network sites, but you can't access any of them when you first join. Instead, you can pick one after your first rebill and then another one every 32 days or so onward. They include Fun Movies, Harmony Vision and Pinko HD.
It's really unfortunate that Purzel Videos doesn't allow you to download its movies, because it's a pretty good site otherwise. If you can deal with streaming movies and are eager to see German teens getting off on film for the first time, you might think about getting a membership. Oh, and the collection is growing every two or three days.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Erectile Dysfunction Treatments in 2015
Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is defined as a partial or complete inability to reach or maintain an erection hard and long enough for sex to happen. Sometimes, ED is called impotence.
There are a lots of possible methods to treat Erectile Dysfunction. The method chosen depends on the individual, on the grounds of the problem, and on personal requirements. In 94% of cases, ED or Impotence is totally treatable.
If the reasons for your problems are purely psychological, then the best ED (impotence) treatment for you is counseling.
With sex counseling, it is real to outdo many psychological problems that usually hinder you during sex which can cause Erectile Dysfunction.
First, contact your psychotherapist and work with him, either alone or with your partner, to decrease possible tensions.
Sexual counselors are sometimes very helpful, especially when it is necessary to solve such Erectile Dysfunction problems as poor sexual communication and high expectations.
ED Medications
If Erectile Dysfunction is experienced due to serious health conditions (for example, diabetes,high blood pressure, heart disease, or atherosclerosis) then oral prescription drugs should be used.
In the United States and UK, there are 3 drugs approved for the treatment of sexual problems. These are as following:
- Levitra (click here)
- Cialis (click here)
- Viagra (click here)
These ED drugs are available by prescription only.
These medications need a valid prescription from your doctor and are used right before sex (as needed). Oral drugs are effective for 70% men, but may cause some unexpected side effects like dizziness.
Erectile Dysfunction Treatment Links:
1. Canadian Generic ED drugs – click here
Injections for ED
Injection meds are also available for ED treatment. They are injected by a short needle into the corpora cavernosa of your penis.
1. Viagra vs Injections for ED
Medications, like phentolamine, prostaglandin, CAVERJECT® (alprostadil) and others give results that last for 30 minutes or longer. Injectable medications give more direct results as the medicine works only in the penis and not in the entire body.
Vacuum Pumps
The vacuum pump is another popular treatment for male sexual problems. It is relatively compound when compared to oral pills. The penis is placed inside a plastic tube which forms a seal.
When vacuum is achieved, the penis gets hard, thus providing the necessary erection. Then a soft ring is placed on the penile bottom to be left there for up to 40 minutes. Vacuum pumps can be applied in domestic conditions, but need some experience and practice from you.
Surgery is the most difficult option for ED treatments. During the operation, implants, such as a metal rod covered with silicon, are surgically inserted into the penis so it gets erected.
There are also more complicated inflatable penile implants with two tubes. Sterile liquid is pumped into the tubes before intercourse and afterwards the liquid is returned to the reservoir. Penis surgeries are very complicated and can cause serious failures, therefore they are considered to be dangerous.
Vascular reconstructive surgery is a very rare way to treat erectile dysfunction that is used to help improve blood flow into the corpora cavernosa. During this operation, clogged veins which are not pumping blood properly are removed and replaced with veins taken from leg.
This kind of erectile dysfunction treatment provides the best results for young men with 50-70% positive results. Vein binding is another surgery performed to prevent veins from leaking and helps improve erections in up to 50% of cases.

Natural Treatment
Overall health is very important for sexual health. Therefore, in less serious cases, natural health treatments can be used as one of the ways to improve sexual dysfunction. The main elements of natural treatments are healthy foods and a herbal diet. It is best to eat whole and fresh meals, a lot of fruits and berries, vegetables, and seafood.
Fried foods, coffee, sugar, dairy products and caffeine are not recommended for those suffering from ED. You should also drink a lot of water. Nutrition supplements and vitamins will assist you in proper dieting to reduce the risks and lower the level of problematic sexual intercourse.
Herbal treatments also work in some sexual dysfunction cases. Plus, they don't cause any side effects. Such herbs as panax ginseng, turnera diffusa, ptychopetalum olacoides and others are used to treat impotence and are considered to be strong aphrodisiacs.
