ABSTRACT: This paper extends and problematises recent sociological research on the medicalisation of sleep, focussing on trends and transformations in the prospective 'customisation' of sleep in the 24/7 society. What exactly does customisation mean in this context; how does it relate to the medicalisation of sleep; and how salient or significant are these trends to date in the 24/7 society? These are the key questions this paper seeks to address, taking workplace napping and wakefulness promoting drugs amongst the 'healthy' as our comparative case studies. Both we argue, despite their apparent differences and embryonic status to date, provide alternative routes to broadly similar ends. Namely they customise our sleep patterns and practices to fit around the escalating temporal demands of daily life, thereby helping remedy the increasing misalignment between biological and social time. Each, moreover, seeks to improve or optimise safety, productivity and performance in late modern society, where alertness is prized, sleepiness is problematised and vigilance is valorised. The paper concludes with some further reflections on these matters, including relations between the biomedicalisation and the customisation of sleep and a research agenda on the biopolitics of sleep and wakefulness.Social Science [?] Medicine 08/2012; · 2.73 Impact Factor - Sociology of Health & Illness 07/2011; 33(5):729-30. · 1.88 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: This article explores the characteristics of a newly emergent 'neuroculture' and its relationship to cultures of ageing; in particular, the social meanings associated with 'active ageing' and 'cognitive health' and the discourses and sciences around memory and the 'ageing brain'. The argument proposes a critical perspective on this relationship by looking at the shifting boundaries between standards of normality and abnormality, values of health and illness, practices of therapy and enhancement, and the lines demarcating Third Age (healthy, active and agentic) and Fourth Age (dependency, loss and decline) periods of ageing. Conclusions offer further reflections on the complex questions that arise regarding expectations, hopes and ethics in relation to the promises and perils of a neurocultural future.Sociology of Health & Illness 06/2011; 34(1):64-78. · 1.88 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Drawing on insights from both medical sociology and science and technology studies this article provides a critical analysis of the nature and status of pharmaceuticalisation in terms of the following key dimensions and dynamics: (i) the redefinition or reconfiguration of health 'problems' as having a pharmaceutical solution; (ii) changing forms of governance; (iii) mediation; (iv) the creation of new techno-social identities and the mobilisation of patient or consumer groups around drugs; (v) the use of drugs for non-medical purposes and the creation of new consumer markets; and, finally, (vi) drug innovation and the colonisation of health futures. Pharmaceuticalisation, we argue, is therefore best viewed in terms of a number of heterogeneous socio-technical processes that operate at multiple macro-levels and micro-levels that are often only partial or incomplete. The article concludes by drawing out some broader conceptual and reflexive issues this raises as to how we might best understand pharmaceuticalisation, based on our analysis, as a framework for future sociological work in this field.Sociology of Health & Illness 03/2011; 33(5):710-25. · 1.88 Impact Factor - 11/2009: pages 530 - 551; , ISBN: 9781444314786

ABSTRACT: Theories of pain have traditionally been dominated by biomedicine and concentrate upon its neurophysiological aspects, both in diagnosis and treatment. Hence, scientific medicine reduces the experience of pain to an elaborate broadcasting system of signals, rather than seeing it as moulded and shaped both by the individual and their particular socio-cultural context. Although pain lies at the intersection between biology and culture, making it an obvious topic for sociological investigation, scant attention has been paid to understanding beliefs about pain within the study of health and illness. A major impediment to a more adequate conceptualisation of pain is due to the manner in which it has been 'medicalised', resulting in the inevitable Cartesian split between body and mind. Consequently, the dominant conceptualisation of pain has focused upon sensation, with the subsequent inference that it is able to be rationally and objectively measured. Yet as well as being a medical 'problem', pain is an everyday experience. Moreover, sociological and phenomenological approaches to pain would add to, and enhance, existing bodies of knowledge and help to reclaim pain from the dominant scientific paradigm. In this paper, it is argued, firstly, that the elevation of sensation over emotion within medico-psychological approaches to pain, can be shown to be limiting and reductionist. Secondly, we attempt to show how insights from the newly-emerging sociological arenas of emotions and embodiment provide a framework which is able to both transcend the divide between mind and body and to develop a phenomenological approach to pain. Finally, in order to bring the meaning of pain into fuller focus, we draw attention to the importance of studying theodices and narratives, as well as the cultural shaping and patterning of beliefs and responses to pain.Sociology of Health & Illness 06/2008; 17(2):139 - 165. · 1.88 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The paper provides a review of the implications of the recent NHS reforms - i.e. the Griffiths Report (1983), Promoting Better Health (1987), Working for Patients (1989) and the new GP contract (1990) - for primary care prevention. Three major themes are identified as the leitmotivs running through these reforms: first, the introduction of general management into the NHS; secondly, the introduction of market principles into the NHS, and; thirdly, the increasing emphasis upon health promotion and disease prevention. The first section of the paper offers a critical review of the Government's health promotion strategy, one in which, it is argued, the primary care sector will play a central role. Hence, taking the issue of primary care prevention as a case-study, the paper then proceeds to discuss the implications of these recent reforms (i.e. managerialism and market principles) for primary care prevention at a number of different levels: namely, for FHSAs, DHAs, GPs, nurses, and consumers. The final section of the paper considers the potential impact of these reforms for the professional autonomy of GPs and nurses, particularly in relation to the proletarianisation and deprofessionalisation theses. The paper concludes with a theoretical discussion and interpretation of the themes and issues raised within the course of the paper.Sociology of Health & Illness 06/2008; 15(1):43 - 67. · 1.88 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Over the years there has been increasing support from a number of different sources for General Practitioners and their primary health care teams to have greater involvement in prevention. However, while attention has been paid to what leading figures and official bodies such as the Royal College of General Practitioners say there has been less emphasis upon what the rank-and-file of GPs themselves think and feel about prevention. Hence, this paper reports on the results of a small-scale exploratory study of 40 GPs' perceptions of coronary heart disease (CHD) prevention. In particular it addresses three main issues: first, the value which GPs place upon prevention and their concepts of prevention; second, the extent to which they view prevention as problematic and the reasons given; finally, in the light of these issues, the manner in which they attempt to resolve these dilemmas. Whilst GPs appeared to positively endorse the principle of prevention, they nonetheless tended to view it as problematic and had limited personal involvement. In this respect five key themes emerged in GPs' accounts: i) that health promotion and prevention was tedious, dull and boring; ii) the constraints of time and the manner in which it detracted from curative medicine; iii) the uncertainties of risk factor identification and interventions; iv) ambivalence towards the effectiveness of behavioural change and the problem of patient motivation, and finally; v) a concern that it represented a moral intrusion and inflated patients anxiety levels unnecessarily. Beyond the voicing of these concerns, the main way in which GPs attempted to resolve these dilemmas was by delegating much of this work to a new and relatively low-status member of the primary health care team: the practice nurse.Sociology of Health & Illness 06/2008; 16(3):372 - 393. · 1.88 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: What role do the media play in the medicalization of sleep problems? This article, based on a British Academy funded project, uses qualitative textual analysis to examine representations of insomnia and snoring in a large representative sample of newspaper articles taken from the UK national press from the mid-1980s to the present day. Constructed as 'common problems' in the population at large, insomnia and snoring we show are differentially located in terms of medicalizing-healthicizing discourses and debates. Our findings also suggest important differences in the gendered construction of these problems and in terms of tabloid and 'broadsheet' newspaper coverage of these issues. Newspaper constructions of sleep, it is concluded, are complex, depending on both the 'problem' and the paper in question.Health 05/2008; 12(2):251-68. · 2.10 Impact Factor -
Article: Waking up to sleepiness: Modafinil, the media and the pharmaceuticalisation of everyday/night life.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This paper examines the social construction of the new wakefulness-promoting drug Modafinil (brand name Provigil) in the British press. Key themes in this newspaper coverage include the potential 'uses' and 'abuses' of this drug in relation to: (i) medical conditions; (ii) lifestyle choices; (iii) military operations; and (iv) sporting competition. The British press, we show, play a dual role in reporting on these trends and developments: on the one hand constructing this as something of a 'wonder drug' in relation to the treatment of a number of medical complaints or conditions, on the other hand articulating and amplifying a range of cultural concerns and anxieties about the non-medical 'uses' and 'abuses' of this drug, both now and in the future. These issues, it is argued, are best interpreted in terms of media concerns over the pharmaceuticalisation rather than the medicalisation of everyday/night life. The paper concludes with some further thoughts and reflections on these issues, including the potential reworking of notions of 'pharmaceutical Calvinism' and the 'elective affinity' between this 'smart' new drug and the spirit of (bio)capitalism.Sociology of Health & Illness 05/2008; 30(6):839-55. · 1.88 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Sleep is something we all 'do' on a daily or nightly basis, consuming approximately a third of our lives. It is only relatively recently, however, that sociologists have begun to address the social significance of sleep. This paper, therefore, provides an invitation of sorts to a rich and fascinating new field of sociological inquiry, charting and commentating on the sociological significance of sleep in relation to the following seven key themes: (i) body and society; (ii) roles and routines; (iii) history and culture; (iv) work and employment; (v) gender and the life course; (vi) health and illness; and finally, (vii) politics and ethics. The paper concludes with some further critical thoughts and reflections on this sociological engagement with sleep to date and the theoretical, conceptual and methodological challenges ahead.Sociology Compass 01/2008; 2(2):639 - 653. - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The management of sleep is embedded within the social context of individuals' lives. This article is based on an exploratory study using focus groups of the sleep problems encountered by 17 women survivors of domestic violence. It argues that fear becomes the organizing framework for the management of sleep and illustrates how this takes place both while living with the perpetrators of violence and after the women have been rehoused. It argues that sleep deprivation is a method used by the perpetrators to exert control over women and that this has long-term implications for women's physical and mental health.Violence Against Women 07/2007; 13(6):549-61. · 1.33 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Sleep provides us with a unique vantage point on the sociology of living in/as a body. We are sleeping as well as waking beings. Sleeping, moreover, is embodied and embedded in the social world. Whilst many of us derive great comfort or pleasure from our sleep, this chapter explores the other face of sleep, namely the vulnerabilities and dangers it embodies and engenders, potentially at least, to self and others. This in turn provides the basis, towards the end of the chapter, for a broader series of sociological reflections on the growing problematization or politics of sleep in a 24/7 risk society where sleep is now becoming a matter of 'public concern'. Sleep, it is concluded, is a crucial yet sociologically overlooked aspect of our embodiment; a shared embodied vulnerability that, at one and the same time, unites and divides us.Sociological Review 03/2007; 55(s1):142 - 155. · 0.57 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The 'informed consent' process has been placed at the centre of bioethical and policy discourses about how the autonomy and rights of patients can best be protected. Although there has been critical analysis of how the process functions in relation to participation in research and particular ethical 'dilemmas', there has been little examination of the routine business of consenting to medical procedures. Evidence is now beginning to emerge that people may consent to surgery even when reluctant to do so. In this paper, we develop an analysis informed by Bourdieusian and interactionist social theory of the accounts of 25 British women who consented to surgery in obstetrics and gynaecology. Of these, nine were ambivalent or opposed to having an operation. When faced with a consent form, women's accounts suggest that they rarely do anything other than obey professionals' requests for a signature. Women's capacity to act is reduced as they become enmeshed in the hospital structure of tacit, socially imposed rules of conduct. However, the interactionist account of power operating through the social rules of particular situated encounters, and the sanctions associated with rule-breaking, may not provide a sufficiently powerful explanation for why women submit to surgery they are opposed or ambivalent towards. Bourdieu's concepts of habitus, capital and symbolic power/violence offer a potentially more elaborated account, by showing how the practical logic that women apply in the field of surgery confers a 'sense of place' relative to professionals. Women experience deficits in capital, intensified by their physical vulnerability in critical situations, that severely constrain their ability to exercise choice. This work demonstrates the weakness of the consent process as a safeguard of autonomy. Far from reinforcing autonomy, the process may reinforce rather than disrupt passivity, but more generally our findings raise the question of the extent to which autonomy is an illusory goal.Social Science [?] Medicine 07/2006; 62(11):2742-53. · 2.73 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In this article I pose the question, 'where is the biological body in medical sociology today?' The first part of the article provides a selective corporeal balance sheet of where we are now in medical sociology, with particular reference to social constructionist and phenomenological approaches and their respective stances or takes on the (biological) body. The subsequent section considers where we might profitably be going in the future in terms of bringing the biological body (back) in, and the broader issues this raises for the sociological enterprise as a whole. Various problems associated with this evolving project and merits of other recent approaches, such as the sociology of translation, are considered. The article concludes with some further thoughts and reflections on these matters, including a revisiting of relations between the sociology of the body and medical sociology in the light of these debates.Health 02/2006; 10(1):5-30. · 2.10 Impact Factor

Former D.C. cop admits falsifying radar-camera testing records
A former D.C. police officer admitted Thursday to falsifying logs regarding the testing of mobile photo-radar cameras that issue speeding tickets — a move that resulted in the department having to refund more than $17,000 in traffic ticket fines.
Former Metropolitan Police Department Officer David Cephas' pleaded guilty to three counts of misdemeanor fraud in D.C. Superior Court.
According to court records, the 22-year department veteran was supposed to be monitoring photo-radar equipment during overtime shifts and taking test photographs once an hour with the cameras to ensure they were working properly. In 2008 and 2009, prosecutors said Mr. Cephas failed to take the once-an-hour shots on 33 occasions and covered up the mistakes by rolling back the clock on the radar unit in order to make it appear he had properly tested the machines.
Had the department found out at the time that he had failed to take the proper test photos, Mr. Cephas would have been suspended from his lucrative overtime duty for 90 days, court records state. As a result of the falsification of the documents, the department could not confirm the accuracy of the radar readings used to issue 200 tickets. The department refunded $17,550 in fines as a result.
The department discovered the falsified logs during an internal audit that began in May 2009, police said.
Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier issued a statement Thursday thanking her department's internal affairs division for working "to ensure that all of our members uphold the highest standards and integrity."
Court records indicate Mr. Cephas, who resigned from the police department as a result of his intent to plead guilty, received $17,056 from the overtime shifts that he was working when he falsified the testing records. A plea agreement indicates that he will pay back the $17,550 the department lost in revenue from the refunded tickets but does not mention any pay back of the overtime salary earned.
His attorney, Rebecca S. LeGrand, did not return a phone call requesting comment.
Mr. Cephas is scheduled to be sentenced Aug. 30. Second-degree fraud is punishable by up to 180 days in jail and a $1,000 fine.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama declared Saturday that oil companies are profiting from rising gasoline prices and urged Congress once again to end $4 billion a year in oil and gas company tax breaks.
"These tax giveaways aren't right," Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address. "They aren't smart. And we need to end them."
Obama has been sparring with congressional Republicans over the skyrocketing cost of gasoline, which has topped $4 a gallon in some regions of the country, more than $1 dollar higher than a year ago. The rising prices have contributed to a slowdown in economic growth and have hurt Obama's public approval ratings.
The Exxon Mobile Corp. this week reported nearly $11 billion in profits for the first quarter of this year but said it had no control over oil prices. Other oil companies also reported huge gains.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., says he plans to consider Obama's proposal as early as next week.
The president said money recouped from ending the oil and gas tax subsidies should be used on new energy resources and research. He said he refuses to cut spending on clean energy initiatives.
"An investment in clean energy today is an investment in a better tomorrow," he said. "And I think that's an investment worth making."
Obama's critics say his call to end such subsidies is merely support for new tax increases that would end up costing jobs.
"The president may think he's punishing CEOs of big companies, but his plan will hurt the everyday consumer of energy and imperil the jobs of millions of hardworking people in American-based companies," Rep. James Lankford, a first-term congressman from Oklahoma, said in the Republicans' weekly address.
In his address, Obama said the economy was growing again and took note of nearly 2 million new private sector jobs in the last 13 months. But the president did not mention that the pace of the recovery slowed significantly in the first three months of this year. The nation's economy grew at a 1.8 percent annual rate during that quarter, a much slower pace than the 3.1 percent rate reported in the previous three months.
High gasoline prices, bad winter weather and steep government spending cuts were responsible for the slowdown.
Eager to show action on gas costs, Obama has repeatedly called for ending the tax subsidies to oil and gas companies, even while conceding that they would not have an immediate effect on prices. He has also called for the Justice Department to investigate possible price fixing and said this week that he was also prodding OPEC nations such as Saudi Arabia to increase production.
"I also believe that instead of subsidizing yesterday's energy, we should invest in tomorrow's," he said.
Lankford also warned that Republicans would not vote to raise the nation's debt ceiling — now at $14.3 trillion — in the coming weeks unless the measure also includes steps to cut government spending. Presidents have agreed to such deals in the past, and Obama this month, in an interview with The Associated Press, conceded that some spending restrictions might be necessary to win an increase in the debt ceiling. Without raising that limit, the government would default on its debts.

This cabin is perfect, not far from town, very homey and all amenities needed to just stay 'home' and relax. This is our second vacation to the Smokey's (5 year anniversary). Gary always stated if we needed anything call, though we didn't. Our last visit we stayed in a cabin on Wears Overlook it was great but did not have the personal touch you get at Diana's Dacha. Very quiet road great for walks with Lincoln (our golden retriever), neighbors friendly and dogs in area are friendly, the one across the street walked with us everyday. Great location easy to get away from busy Pigeon Forge and the road leading to cabin Wears Valley has many well known gift shops and attractions. We are always ready to get home from vacation, that wasn't the case we enjoyed our time here. Thank you very much Gary and Diana we enjoyed our stay at your home.Did you find this review helpful?

We have stayed in several rental cabins over the years and some have been very pricey, so this time we decided to find something a little more reasonable, so we chose Diana's Dacha. Let me say that the beds were very comfortable and the gas fireplace was nice. The cabin is conveniently located to town which is nice. The downside; we never used the hot tub due to checking it out on our arrival we found the interior walls felt slimy and the water was a tinge greenish. Some of the upper kitchen cabinets near the fridge were very very sticky. The fitted sheets on the beds would come off at night, and after showering there would be some type of residue left in the tub. All these things collectively diminished our stay. Next time we will just spend the extra money, because you get what you pay for.Recommended for: Sightseeing.
Owner response: Lindie, Thank you for your review. We rely very heavily on guest feedback to improve the quality of our Cabin and I appreciate your comments. Two items I'd like to address: 1) We often receive questions regarding our low pricing. This cabin was listed for several years with a rental company. At the time, the home was priced at $130-$170 per night. Three years ago, my wife and I made the decision to eliminate the rental company and do it ourselves, cutting out the "middle man" and reducing our costs substantially. We've passed along those savings to our guests, which is why the cabin is now priced below the market. 2) Regarding your issues with the home, the Hot Tub is professionally cleaned and treated between each and every guest. However, if there are heavy rains, which can happen in the Smokies, the water may indeed get dirty. Also, while we regularly replace all linens, fitted sheets sometimes lose elasticity before we notice it. In addition, while we have a capable and competent cleaning crew, no one is perfect and they may miss a spot or two on the higher cabinets. That being said, each of these minor items would have rapidly been addressed and corrected had we only been made aware of them during your stay. For future guests, please, please, please contact me immediately in the event ANYTHING isn't 100% to your satisfaction. All guests are provided with my cell number and encouraged to get in touch with me to address any and all concerns swiftly and effectively. Please help us help you enjoy our home to the fullest by alerting us to any and all concerns in a timely manner.

The cabin is exactly as stated and more beautiful in person than in the pictures. The view from the living room is breathtaking especially in the morning when the sun is rising in the mountains. And it was so nice to have our pet dog here with us! The cabin is very clean and the owners are wonderful to deal with. We had a minor issue with the hot tub that was promptly taken care of. Even the gentleman that came to assist with the hot tub was wonderful. By far one of the nicest people we have ever dealt with through VRBO. We leave tomorrow and though I will be glad to be home, am sad to leave this cabin. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home in the mountains. We will be back I am sure. :)Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, families with young children, girls getaway, age 55+, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, pet owners, romantic getaway.

- Review Submitted 08/31/13
I have stayed in many rentals in my travels. This wasn't the worst and it was far from the best. The furniture is tired and dirty. Bedding is tired also. The elastic on the bed sheets are stretched out, therefore the sheets come off the bed during sleep. The carpets have dog hair and other crumbs on them. They appear to not have been vaccumed. The cobwebs could use a dusting wand and could be eliminated in less than five minutes. You do not want to drink the water. It's foul and smells like rotten eggs. Granted, there is a beautiful view from the main living area. The glass panes that are higher up could use some cleaning though. It's nice to have extra TV's in the bedrooms. We enjoyed the National Park (seeing black bears), Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Alpine Coaster.Owner response: Very surprised to receive this review. Several items that I would like to address: a) The furnishings in the cabin are virtually identical to what is photographed online. The only difference is that the living room television has been significantly upgraded. b) Our cleaning crew, Pat and Dana, have been operating cabins in the area for over a decade and many of our prior guests have been very complementary regarding their services. Just five days earlier, the previous reviewer specifically mentioned how clean the cabin was. c) Our water is professionally monitored, tested and treated every 30-60 days by Aqua Clear. d) Unfortunately, at no time during their weeklong stay did this guest bring any concerns to my attention. For future guests, please contact me immediately in the event we are not meeting or exceeding your expectations. I am easily accessible, extremely proactive and will do everything in my power to make your stay at our home a fantastic experience. Gary 404-729-8819

When we arrived at this cabin we were amazed at how peaceful it was less than 10 minutes from downtown Pigeon Forge. For those of you that aren't familiar with this area, definitely stop at the visitors center and get some of those coupon books for the local rides, attractions, and shows. They are free and you will certainly save some money. The cabin was just what we were expecting. Very clean, well furnished, plenty of extras. Gary was more than accommodating. We had no need to contact him while we were there, but he told us if there was anything we needed not to hesitate to call. With lots to see and do our week went way too fast. We would highly recommend this cabin to anyone. The location is great and the price is a wonderful deal. Being able to bring our small dog was very special. She enjoyed the cabin as well. If we decide to vacation in this area again, 'Diana's Dacha' will be the first place on our list to stay!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, families with young children, girls getaway, age 55+, adventure seekers, pet owners, romantic getaway.

My party consisted of my 15 year old son, my 56 year old mother, 2 year old miniature poodle, and me, 36. It has two bedrooms with two king size beds, which are very comfortable, a dining area, full kitchen, deck with rocking chairs, picnic table and hot tub, and finally a loft with games. I chose this cabin based on the price, the fact we could bring our furry family member, and because my mother is disabled. There were only 3-4 steps to enter the cabin, and one bedroom is on the first floor. From this cabin you can see two other cabins....one that shares the driveway with this cabin, and one behind this cabin down from the hot tub. I needed to call Gary (the owner) a few times, and he either answered immediately or returned my call within 10 minutes. He had to have his maintenance man come out and look at the hot tub and he arrived within 2 hours. Gary cares about the experience of his guests and will bend over backwards to make sure the cabin is in PERFET condition. I can not stress how wonderful it was staying in this cabin and dealing with Gary! Beautiful views, inexpensive, close to Pigeon Forge and not too far from Gatlinburg/GSMNP.....this cabin really fits the bill!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, people with disabilities, sightseeing, families with young children, girls getaway, age 55+, pet owners, romantic getaway.

We had a wonderful, relaxing vacation in this cabin out away from the hussle and bustle of Pigeon Forge. Early mornings in the hot tub staring out at the mountainside and up at the stars made for a much needed break from the business of life. The cabin was clean and made for comfort and relaxation, was within a 5 minute drive to all the activity of Pigeon Forge and just 15-20 minute drive to Smoky Mountain National Park, the main draw to this area for me. Gary was fantastic to work with and promptly took care of us when the gas grill ran out of gas. We have stayed in the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area several times now and this may well be the best deal around. I highly recommend this vacation getaway location.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, families with young children, girls getaway, adventure seekers, romantic getaway.

What an amazing time we had in the Smokies! What better way to ring in the New Year in the Smokey Mountains with the people who matter the most in your life? My family and I had such a wonderful time especially being able to bring our 3 puppies. We even got some snow! The view from the cabin, the sight seeing, the shows, the variety of restaurants, everything was right at our fingertips. The spacious cabin had everything a family of 4 needed. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to enjoy your cabin this week, we truly had an amazing time. Happy New Year 2013 & God Bless!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, adventure seekers, pet owners, romantic getaway.

This has been one of the best experiences I've had in years. We stay in cabins a lot and I had family visiting from South Africa and they wanted to experience the Smoky Mountains, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and most of all, the cabin lifestyle. This cabin provided all of this as it is so centrally located and beautiful. The cabin is exactly what I've read in previous customer reviews - clean, beautifully decorated with the most awesome view over the mountains. Gary, the owner is one of the nicest people I've dealt with. He cares for his guests and was very helpful with everything. If I could add 2 things to the cabin, it would be (1) a dvd player - we were tired one evening and wanted to stay in the cabin and the ladies wanted to rent a dvd (2) a guest book to write down our appreciation on a very relaxing and wonderful experience. We will definitely be back!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, age 55+, adventure seekers, pet owners, romantic getaway.
Owner response: Etienne, thank you very much for your review. I'm thrilled you and your family enjoyed your stay and look forward to having you back sometime in the future. We added a DVD player this week, so you'll be good to go for movie night at the Cabin. Thanks again, Gary

We had a wonderful time in the Smokies! The cabin was very clean, centrally located, and included all the amenities. The view from the large windows is fantastic. We absolutely loved the cabin and would definitely stay again. Gary, the owner, was very friendly and easy to work with. We've used VRBO for many years.....this was one of our best experiences! Thanks, again, Gary!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, families with young children, girls getaway, age 55+, adventure seekers, pet owners, romantic getaway.

Lafe's Natural and Organic Roll On Deodorant Fresh -- 3 oz
Nice long lasting deodorant
I like to use this deodorant because it is natural and long-lasting.
October 8, 2013
Doesn't work
I've never had any luck with natural deodorants... and this one was no exception.
September 11, 2013
Works for a few hours
This product only works for about 8 hours and then you have to shower and re-apply. If you have a long day, you will definitely end up getting smelly.
Also, it doesn't stop perspiration so it may be only good to use in the winter months.
Kind of a pointless product unfortunately. I'll have to go back to buying regular until i find a good natural brand to use
June 20, 2013
I use this after every shower. It has no scent so i like it and it leaves no foam and doesn't leave white on your sleeveless shirts. :) This works for me mostly in the winter and cooler months but in the summer if I am highly active I have to use some bad for you stuff. This product doesn't prevent you from sweating or mask the smell if you are highly active.
August 27, 2012
Works well
I have problems with under arm soreness using conventional deodorants. This product works well for me because it doesn't have any alcohol in it. The deodorant also seems to be pretty effective.

5 Ways to Engage Patients in PHRs
One of the "five pillars" of meaningful use is to engage patients and their families in electronic health data. But engaging patients and families with electronic health data isn't just about HITECH requirements and stimulus money - - it's also a way to foster collaborative decision-making between provider and patient, which, in turn, improves the patient experience, leads to better outcomes, and can reduce readmissions.
Americans pay more attention and become more engaged in their health and medical care when they have easy access to their health information online, according to a 2010 California HealthCare Foundation survey. For example, patients who use a personal health record say they take steps to improve their own health, know more about their healthcare, and ask their doctors questions they say they would not otherwise have asked.
But consumer adoption is still low—just 7%, according to the survey. The questions facing the healthcare industry are how best to get those numbers up and whose job it is to do so.
"We need to find better ways to tap into the skills of the consumer. There's hardly anyone more motivated to manage their own health or that of a family member," says Donna DuLong, RN, cochair of the American Health Information Management Association's Personal Health Information Practice Council. "The trick is finding the right tools and helping educate them and raise awareness."
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.
Gerald A. Theis (4/16/2011 at 10:46 AM)
Good points but there are more requirements and standards to increase PHR usage and it will come through mobile health technology, standardization and innovative solutions. Additional incentives for use are: convenience, easy-to-use, affortability, consumer ownership, personal medical emergency preparedness, multi-functional and interoperability anywhere anytime.

Katie Holmes may have filed for divorce from Tom Cruise Thursday, but two weeks earlier -- during Father's Day weekend -- the couple, and their 6-year-old daughter, Suri, were the picture of a happy family.
Dining out at Sushi Samba in Iceland's capital city of Reykjavik June 16, Cruise and Holmes munched on small plates with items including volcano rolls and avocado fries while they doted on little Suri.
PHOTOS: Tom and Katie's sweetest moments
"They both looked after Suri and she was getting the main attention at the table, but Tom and Katie would look at each other and smile," an eyewitness at the restaurant told Us Weekly of the Cruises. "They were like all the young families that come in here. It's almost impossible to think they're getting divorced because they seemed very happy that night."
PHOTOS: Tom's special bond with Suri
Indeed, Holmes, 33, filed for divorce Thursday, in a move that appeared to shock her husband of five years, 49.
"Kate has filed for divorce and Tom is deeply saddened and is concentrating on his three children. Please allow them their privacy," a statement released Friday by Cruise's rep read.
VIDEO: What went wrong for Tom and Katie
In her filing, Holmes -- who rented a New York City apartment in her own name weeks before submitting divorce papers -- requested sole custody of Suri.
Cruise is also dad to Connor, 17, and Isabella, 19, with ex Nicole Kidman.
