Buying a  Driver  is one of the biggest choices that any golfer has to make. A good driver can go a long way in improving your scores. For the  Beginners Choosing A Forgiving Driver  would help attain some great shots and work on one’s style. There are numerous  Golf Clubs  available.

The debates about whether e-cigarettes should be used as smoking cessation aids have been ongoing for the better part of the last decade. Since they were first introduced to the US market back in 2006, they have divided scientists and smokers alike. While there are still questions about the long-term effects of vaping on the health, there’s mounting scientific evidence that suggests e-cig benefits tied to smoking cessation may very well outweigh the concerns highlighted by the skeptics. There have been numerous studies done on the subject, but perhaps the one that carries the most weight is the one conducted by the Public Health England (PHE) back in 2015. The authors of that comprehensive review have concluded that combustible cigarettes are still the number one preventable cause of death in the UK (and around the world) and that, in comparison, e-cigarettes are around 95 % safer. Based on that report, the UK government has given permission to local authoriti...

Everyone is always highlighting the dangers of skateboarding and all the things that can go wrong but in actual fact there are a lot of benefits to be had from skateboarding. The physical benefits of skateboarding outweigh the physical dangers involved. Skateboarding regularly trains a lot of muscles that are otherwise underutilised in general health and fitness. Skateboarders have strong legs, strong cores, and are very flexible to compensate for the impact of landing a trick and to be able to do the tricks. Skateboarding is also a high intensity activity which builds cardiovascular fitness as well as muscular strength. Skateboarders also have great balance to stay on the board and land on it without falling over and injuring themselves with every attempt. In the beginning there will obviously be more falls than later on in the learning process as the muscles get stronger and muscle memory sets in. Skateboarding can also be used as a good weight loss exercise as it is high intensi...

Skateboarding has been my ultimate teacher… The one teacher that stands out the among the others. Skateboarding has taught me: how to deal with all kinds of authority figures. how to appreciate a fresh pair of sneakers. how to obsess over something and put in the effort to accomplish the outcome. how to clean every cut, scrape and road burn known to man. But most especially, skateboarding has taught me how to overcome failure . Skating requires IMMENSE dedication towards the goal or outcome, and the road to success is paved with copious amounts of bruises, road burns, rolled ankles and failures. But to kids labeled with various conditions, (specifically ADHD, Dyspraxia, high-functioning Autism, Asperger’s syndrome and sensory processing disorder,) skateboarding offers a domain of biopsychosocial (BPS) prosperity, contributing to an up-regulation of coping skills that help to regulate: emotion, cognition, behavior, physiology, and variable environments. T...

Remember the endless Core vs. Corporate shoe debates we used to have just a couple of years ago? Those conversations are long gone (since it’s pretty clear who won), but what exactly is making Nike, Adidas, Vans, and Cons such dominant forces in skateboarding? Is it their bottomless marketing budgets, their ability to make a superior product, their rider picks, or something else? Rather than hypothesize or ask a bunch of crusty lifers (who will inevitably get their panties in a bunch) we decided to hit up some kids at the skatepark to find out what might convince them to wear or support a “core” (a.k.a. small or skater-started) shoe brand. Now, before you pull your hair out and start calling the people we interviewed idiots, just remember, they’re kids. They didn’t grow up in a time when éS was the company with the best team, or when C1rca was actually able to pay riders. These are skaters living through a time where all of their favorite pros ride for a handful of big-named br...

Skateboarding is a sport, an art form, a lifestyle, and a culture. People have been skating for decades, and it has even become an extreme sport. We can all benefit from skateboarding, even if we’re not bombing halfpipes and grinding down rails. Not only does skateboarding get us outside, but it is a fun and effective way to get from point A to point B. Here are the best health benefits of skateboarding from Health Fitness Revolution and author of the book  ReSYNC Your Life Samir Becic : Provides flexibility:  Ankles must remain flexible and body should stay limber while skating. The more tense and inflexible a person is, the harder it is for them to skate. Offers full-body workout:  You’re moving your feet and your legs, you’re using your arms to help balance. You’re twisting your body. All these things must happen simultaneously, giving your body a variety of movements. Click to see on Amazon Physical Endurance:  Most skateboarders don’t...

Woohoo its here!So many of you had questions about these products and have been waiting for this review.I've been using all three of these: Relax (Purple), Energize (Orange) and Grace (Green) in the past two weeks to get a real feel on how they work and if they really live up to the hype.As I mentioned in my first impressions, I had many reasons to review these which will be explained in each section.I've never touched a cigarette or vapour in my life, mainly because of the bad chemicals which these do not have.VitaStik also state on there website that these shouldn't be used as an alternative to vitamins, as the dosage of these per inhale are only very small.Its also good for those who are trying to give up smoking and also those new (like me) get to vape without the bad stuff like nicotine and tar, which these do not contain.I've done a section on each VitaStik of my experience and my overall thoughts at the end, including my stepdad.So before I get into the review...

One thing I have learned as I have gotten older is that things hurt now that never did when I was younger. I have no idea how many times in my life I have put on my golf shoes, grabbed my clubs, and gone to the first tee, taken a couple of practice swings and then teed off. Now it is necessary to warm up prior to a round by stretching, loosening up, and hitting a few practice balls before going to the first tee. When I was younger I never gave my back a second thought and now I have to cater to it. Playing in cold weather can make things worse. I have learned that there are some things I can do to prevent have to pay a price the next morning for enjoying a round of golf. Back Pain An estimated 75 to 85 percent of all Americans will experience some form of back pain during their lifetime, and the numbers may be higher among golfers. Tendinitis in the Elbows  – Tendinitis (irritation and inflammation of the tendon tissue) is the most common condition affecting the elbow. I...

So. You’ve got a guitar that you love. It looks, feels, and sounds great… but, some (or all) of your strings are buzzing against the frets and it’s driving you nuts. Let’s take a look at some of the common causes of fret buzz and the appropriate ways to address each one. By the way, this is just an overview and not an in-depth tutorial. Let’s first define what “fret buzz” is in the first place. Fret buzz is the annoying sound caused by a guitar string rattling/buzzing against a fret wire when the guitar string is being plucked or played. There are three common causes of fret buzz: Frets are not level with each other (some are taller, some are shorter) String Action is too low Neck does not have enough “relief” (neck is too straight, or bowing backwards) Note: I did not include technique as a cause of fret buzz, but it is worth mentioning because, at a certain point, the cause of fret buzz is the player and not the guitar. Basically, if the player attacks the string too aggre...

Whatever your reason for learning to play, golf is the greatest sport there is.   Built on honor, integrity and sportsmanship ( embodied by The First Tee ); golf is a window into a person’s soul.    You can learn a lot about someone just by how they conduct themselves on the golf course.    Being outdoors in the fresh air and getting some good cardio exercise also isn’t a bad way to spend 4 hours either.    You may also want to keep a psychiatrist on speed dial, too.    Golf can be frustrating and drive you to the brink of insanity if you let it, but let’s not get into that right now. The game is magical. There’s no need to buy a book called “Golf Tips for Beginners” or anything like that, because I’m going to hook you up with some free tips.    You’re welcome.   So basically, if you are a beginner golfer who is looking for golf tips for beginners, you’ve come to the right place. 1. The Proper Golf Grip Golf is like any...

Remember the days when buying a guitar was a whole week's (or month's) process? When we would go to all our local music stores and try out countless guitars, hoping to find the one that fits perfectly and snugly between our fretting hand, and allows our picking hand to smoothly transition between strings? The whole process would take hours everyday if you knew what you were looking for beforehand, but it would be relatively simple if you did not plan ahead (sometimes this would lead to regret long after the return policy has died down). Well, online shopping has made it no different. It still takes weeks before you should decide on what to spend on, and with newer online music stores coming up every now and then, the process should take even longer! But that's not necessarily a bad thing, as my article would suggest to you as you read on. Before I begin, I'd like to say that I am in no way affiliated to any online music shop, and that I simply am a musician, just...

The first time you play golf can be intimidating and stressful. Here are some tips for beginners to make it a little easier and a little more comfortable for the first time. Play with a Friend If you have a good friend that is an experienced golfer, try to arrange a tee time for the both of you. That way, they can give you some tips on maneuvering around the golf course. The worst thing you can do is play with other beginners. The only thing that you’ll learn is that the people behind you seem to be really upset about something. The next best thing to playing with a friend is to play by yourself during times when the course is not very crowded. Equipment If you are getting ready to go on the course for the first time, then you probably have clubs and a bag so just make sure you have everything else that you need. Have plenty of golf balls and you can purchase used golf balls off the internet at very reasonable prices. Initially brands don’t matter. Be sure and have plenty of...

If eating a vegan diet is so healthy, why are there more and more vegans showing up who are skinny and appear to be malnourished and unhealthy in appearance? People choose to eat a vegan diet for a variety of reasons. Most of these reasons stem from deep convictions that should be respected by all, even if going vegan isn’t for you.  One of the major culprits of some vegans looking and feeling unhealthy is Vitamin B12 right alongside iron deficiencies. This doesn’t have to happen to you if you educate yourself to know how to optimize your vegan diet for ultimate health. It only stands to reason that because Vitamin B12 comes from micro-organisms that are found mostly, and almost entirely, in food borne from animals that vegans are at risk for a deficiency of Vitamin B12.  The human gut also produces some Vitamin B12, but it is formed below the point where the body is able to absorb it back into the body for use. The good news is that since Vitamin B12 co...

Guitars and Caffeine is an online magazine covering a wide range of topics relating to the building and repairing of guitars. Founded by guitar repair pro Chelsea Clark, the site sets out to share information about this field in a refreshing and unique way. “As someone who has chosen to build a career in the guitar repair and manufacturing industry, I find it difficult to source approachable information that is viable to all aspects of my life — without feeling belittled, berated or less-than. I know I’m not the only one who feels this way,” Clark says. Below, Clark explains the backstory of GAC, her career repairing guitars, her experiences with sexism in the industry, and much more.

If you’re vegan, you already know it can be tough to get all your nutrients from foods and cooking alone. Sure, modern grocers now offer an ever-expanding pantry of quick-fix essentials (from coconut mayo to soy protein jerky), but that’s not always enough to cover your vitamin and mineral needs. In this case, certain key supplements can help — such as vitamin B12, “which keeps blood cells healthy and helps make DNA,” says Lisa Young, Ph.D, R.D., an adjunct profession of nutrition at New York University and author of The Portion Teller. “It’s found in all animal products, including dairy,” she says, and that’s often why vegans can fall short in getting the recommended daily amount (2.4 micrograms). But if you’d rather not pop a pill? Well, there’s a vape for that. Meet the  Vitamin Vape , a vaporizer that lets you inhale 28 servings of 500 micrograms of vitamin B12. It’s free of nicotine, caffeine and sugar, and might increase energy levels. (Still, experts say that vaping in ...

In the midst of my web surfing one day, I came across an advertisement for a vitamin vape pen (thanks Google ads).  I had never heard of such a thing and was instantly intrigued.  As a whole, vaping is a big trend right now.  You can walk down the street to find vape shops and people smoking their own personal vape pens filled with anything from medicinal marijuana to flavored oils, and now…vitamins!  Vaping, to me, seems a strange way to administer vitamins, but perhaps there could be benefits to it…couldn’t there? I looked into the health claims and scientific research out there to find out exactly how it works and what–if any–benefits there are to vaping your vitamins.  Whatever it is that goes into the vapor liquid, the devices all work the same: a heating component on one end aerosolizes the liquid solution, and the vapor is inhaled through a mouthpiece.  There has been a lot of controversy around vaping and its safety.  Supporters argue that...
