It's been 5 years since Carl Johnson left the mean streets of Los Santos. But now something terrible has happened and CJ, as his friends call him, has to return to his hometown. Things are not the same in Los Santos. The gang wars, the police brutality and the mindless violence, everything has escalated beyond reason and CJ is being pulled back into the dirty world again.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas tells the story of a survivor. With the cards stacked against him, can CJ win one final time to wipe the slate clean? Or will he suffocate under the weight of the nightmare he once ran away from? Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is a brilliant new story that waits to be discovered.
San Andreas is the third 3D game in the Grand Theft Auto franchise. Targeted towards causal and hard-core gamers, the game features a massive game environment. The open world action-adventure game is available for the PC and carries a Mature rating from ESRB.
Synopsis and Features
Carl Johnson's mother is murdered and everyone he knows in the city of Los Santos is on a path of destruction. Returning to his hometown after a sabbatical of 5 years, Carl Johnson is immediately pulled into a vicious circle of deceit and corruption. Survival is tough, and for a wanted criminal, it is much more difficult. CJ's only hope is to get the power back in his hands in order to save his family. The only question is can he do it in time?
Developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is a big improvement over its predecessor. The minimum hardware required to easily play this game on your computer are Windows 2000, 1 Ghz Intel Pentium III or AMD Athlon processor, 3.6 GB of hard disk space, 256 MB RAM and 64 MB RAM equipped NVidia or ATI Radeon graphics Card
The single-player campaign of the game will take you across the fictional island of San Andreas, constituting 3 cities Los Santos, Las Venturas, and San Fierro. The story moves forward with every mission you successfully complete. The missions range from anything and everything a thug can do. From kidnapping, stealing to disarming policemen, GTA: San Andreas features a variety of missions.
There are many significant additions in GTA: San Andreas. You can now swim in a lake or a river till you get exhausted. You can demolish cars within seconds or race against the game's AI to prove you are better than them and many more. One of the finest additions to the game is the ability to fly airplanes. From Dodo, Stunt plane to even the huge AT-400, you can fly a variety of aircrafts. It is not easy to fly an airplane as it is to drive a car, as there are many controls that need to be maintained in perfect balance, but it is a great experience to drive one on your own.
If you like to cause mayhem on the streets of San Andreas, you can do it in this game as it features a plethora of weapons. These range from Submachine guns, assault rifles such as M4 and AK-47, to heavy weapons such as Rocket Launchers and Flamethrowers. As you progress through the game, you will start controlling key areas in San Andreas, helping you to build your own gang. You have to defend these areas if trouble brews in any one of them, making the gameplay more interesting.
If you get bored from the main missions you can indulge in side missions where you can tag neighbourhoods with the use of spray paint. Different rhythm-based challenges and sport challenges like basketball and pool have also been added. You can download the updates and wallpapers for the game directly from the company's website.

I have always loves GTA franchise, be it gta-3 or vice city... but San Andreas is a game changer. i loved playing vice city but when ever i played vice there was this feeling that the game was missing something (maybe strong characters may be the environment)it could have been any thing... But when i played "san andreas" for the 1st time, it felt amazing... yes the game does not give the best of the graphics but the game makes up for it by providing the most realistic environment i have ever seen in a games (only half-life Surpass it and Mafia comes close), even GTA4 can not match...

ICM Registry, via its wholly owned subsidiaries, has applied for .SEX, .PORN, and .ADULT under ICANN's 2012 New gTLD Program.
If we are granted the right to operate .SEX, .PORN, or .ADULT, we will automatically, at no cost, implement a "Grandfathering" clause for each of the gTLDs that we are awarded. The "Grandfathering" clause reserves corresponding .XXX names in the awarded gTLDs; this will protect the direct match .XXX names in these new gTLDs.
The underlying .XXX registrant has full control over whether or not to register the .XXX reserved name in the gTLDs. The .XXX registrant may choose to register the name in one gTLD (and not others), the .XXX registrant may choose to register the name in all awarded gTLDs, the .XXX registrant may choose to use the name or sell the name or transfer the name. Alternatively, the .XXX registrant may choose not to register the name at all and instead, may choose to keep the name reserved in all awarded gTLDs, at no cost. All of these options are available to the .XXX registrant for as long as the underlying .XXX registration is maintained.
For example, if we are awarded the gTLDs and you have a registration for the domain name EXAMPLE.XXX, then, we will automatically, and at no cost to you, reserve EXAMPLE.SEX, EXAMPLE.PORN, and EXAMPLE.ADULT. We will maintain these .SEX, .PORN, or .ADULT reservations for free; there is nothing more you need to do. If and when you decide to register the name, you can; otherwise, it will remain reserved.
PimpRoll, a pornography publisher and owner of porn.com, has bought the domain name porn.xxx
SexGoesMobile has acquired the domain name mobile.xxx to provide live cams, video and dating in 10 languages.
Corbin Fisher, one of the world's leading gay production studios has acquired the gay.xxx
SheMales.XXX sells for $200,000; which is 3 1/2 times more than the .net sold for back in 2008.

Short Interview with Michael Palin
TheRealGilliamFan: CamelSpotter and TheNicePython, these are both great interviews. Thanks for posting! I love these kinds of personal Q&A type interviews. And LOL that he tried to steal a hotel bathrobe!!
TheNicePython: Another interview...
Michael Palin: I'm a closet bathrobe thief
By Frances Hardy
Last updated at 12:29 AM on 10th October 2009
* Comments (4)
* Add to My Stories
Michael Palin on his fear of birds, wild nights with Warhol and Capote – and the very naughty habit he picked up with all that travelling.
Michael Palin, 66, remains best known as the perennially 'nice' member of the madcap Monty Python team. He also has careers in film acting and travel writing/ presenting, and won international acclaim – and a Bafta – for his role as a stuttering would-be assassin in the movie A Fish Called Wanda.
Palin, who lives in Gospel Oak, north London, with Helen, his wife of 43 years, has three grown-up children, Thomas, William and Rachel.
What would your friends say is your greatest quality?
It's a bit presumptuous – and I don't know what they say behind my back – but I think it's my affability.
John Cleese always says that I work so hard at being affable that I don't have time for anything else. It's better than being called 'nice' though, isn't it?
Michael Palin
Michael Palin: 'My fancy dress costume would be a carrot in homage to my fellow Python,the late, great Graham Chapman,who once went to a Cambridge Union debate encased in a carrot suit'
Who has been the greatest influence on your life?
My wife Helen. We met on the beach at Southwold in Suffolk 50 years ago, and she's been with me continuously since we married in 1966. I know her better than anyone else, and she influences me quietly and subtly in a multitude of ways.
The way we live (reasonably modestly) and the friends that we have are shaped by her. We've been together so long we have an intuitive understanding of each other.
What attracted you to your wife and what keeps you together?
Her sense of mischief. When I first saw her, she was trailing reluctantly behind a hale-and-hearty uncle, who was going for his morning dip in the North Sea. This attractive, wayward, curly-haired girl was making no attempt to enjoy herself.
We've stayed together because we're very happy and have shared so much, including three children and two grandsons. Our home is full of comfortable memories. I'm a faithful husband, and that's down to temperament as much as anything else. I'm not given to wild flights of fancy.
* Emilia Fox: Losing a baby cost me my marriage
* Tom Baker: How I felt about being Doctor Who
* Me, a sex god? Spooks star Richard Armitage on his army of female fans
How did your childhood affect the person you are today?
I had a secure, middle-class childhood, and my father ploughed a third of his income into a private education for me and my sister. At one point, my mother sold some of her jewellery to ensure that I could stay at my public school, Shrewsbury, and go on to Oxford.
I'm sure that my father had earmarked me for a career in accountancy or medicine. He thought acting was a dangerous waste of his limited funds. Monty Python was, absolutely, a reaction to the conservatism of my background. It would have been his nightmare.
What's your most embarrassing possession?
The bathrobe that's hanging on my bedroom door. I still blush scarlet when I think how I acquired it.
I was staying in a very smart hotel in Saudi while filming Around The World In 80 Days for the BBC, and I secreted it into my suitcase, not intending to declare it. As I checked out, the receptionist asked if there was anything extra to go on my bill. 'Just the room,' I said piously.
'And the bathrobe, sir?' she added. 'Oh, yes!' I said, as if I'd just remembered it had fallen into my case. I had guilt written all over my face.
If you were going to a fancy dress party, what would you wear?
In homage to my fellow Python, the late, great Graham Chapman, I'd go as a carrot.
Graham was a true eccentric who once went to a Cambridge Union debate encased in a carrot suit. Why? Don't ask me. There certainly wouldn't have been a vegetable theme to the debate. That would have been far too logical for Graham.
What's your biggest fear?
Being trapped in a room with a bird – of the feathered kind.
Did you know?
Michael would like Judi Dench to play him in the movie of his life 'because she inhabits each part she plays so perfectly and it would be an interesting challenge for her'
What song would you have played at your funeral?
Hole In The Ground by Bernard Cribbins, because funerals should reflect your life, and mine has been sustained by laughter.
I'd also have George Harrison's Here Comes The Sun, because I was very fond of George and death held no fears for him.
Who would you like to be marooned on a desert island with and why?
Jamie Lee Curtis. She's very beautiful, very clever and very funny.
I also discovered, when we were filming A Fish Called Wanda, that she's extremely practical. She could make a raft out of three bits of driftwood and a cactus.
When did you last use public transport?
I'm president of the Campaign for Better Transport, and I travel by bus or Tube several times a week. I dislike driving round London because everything's against the motorist: congestion charges, parking meters, battling with traffic. And I know it sounds a bit poncy but, as a writer, I like being in touch with the travelling public.
What's the most showbiz party you've ever been to?
It was in 1978 at Studio 54 in New York. Andy Warhol and Truman Capote were the hosts, and every A-list celebrity from the worlds of rock, art and film seemed to be there: Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall, Salvador Dali, Brooke Shields, John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd.
There was plenty of cocaine around. I have done some in the past – but not on that particular evening. I was just drinking fearsomely strong cocktails.
What's your speciality in the kitchen?
Fetching, carrying and appreciation are what I do very well. I empty bins, serve the wine and set the table, but I don't cook. I say to Helen, 'Someone has to enjoy the food and talk to the guests.'
Tell us a secret…
I know all the words to To Know Him Is To Love Him by the Teddy Bears off by heart.
What makes you cry?
Tears of joy spring to my eyes very readily these days. Usually it's in response to something sweet that my grandsons Archie, three, and Wilbur, one, have done.
And your biggest vice…?
Strong coffee.

but omg, cocaine? I was surprised at that
and ugh, he met his wife when he was 16? sorry, but that bugs me (i'm just a pessimist like that, I don't care for teenage sweeheart stories and such, *gag*)
I was surprised about the cocaine as well, but after all he was very young at the time I suppose, so I don't really blame him trying out these kind of things.. luckily he didn't became addicted...
jeremytoogood: I had to look up Shane Warne and Katherine Whitehorn-had no idea who they are, and Cricket is still totally beyond me. I watched part of a game the other day being held in Covington, Ga-had no idea why they did what they did, and probably never will.
As a Yorkshire cricket fanatic I could explain it for you but you might think life is too short. Or I could start a blog on here which you could ignore when you're bored. I'll look for Python links first otherwise no-one will read it.
I just can't grasp cricket at all by watching it, but if I had some idea of the basic rules, maybe I could.
flopsy_mrs: verry nice intervieuw :) thanks for this :) and a verry intrasting man

LiveMATCHNIGHT LIVE - Milton Keynes Lightning v Basingstoke Bison
This live event has finished
- Final Score - Milton Keynes Lightning 1 Basingstoke Bison 4
- Andy Melachrino opens the scoring for the Bison, but Tom Carlon soon level things as the first period ends 1-1.
- The second period belonged to the Bison, with three unanswered goals from Miroslav Vantroba, Melachrino and Ciaran Long. The first two being on the powerplay.
- With no further goals in the last period, the Herd will have a three goal advantage going into the second leg next Wednesday.
Basingstoke Bison player/coach Doug Sheppard said: "We have put ourselves in a good position, but there are still three periods to play in the final.
"It was another good all-round team performance tonight and it was great to see some many Bison fans here and we appreciate them coming."
FINAL SCORE - MK 1 Bison 4
A great night in Coventry and the first leg mission is complete and the Bison fans will go home happy. The omens look good for the Herd as they have not lost by more than two goals all season on home ice.
Join us next Wednesday for the second leg in Basingstoke and on Saturday when he Bison face a visit from the Swindon Wildcats in a crunch league game.
Reaction to follow.
The Bison will now end the game without their top British defenceman Kurt Reynolds as he gets a 2+10 for checing from behind. The Herd kill the MK powerplay.
MK lose top British player Leigh Jamieson for the rest of the game as he picks up a 2+10 for checking from behind. Karpov goes close on the powerplay, but there is no addition to the scoreline.
Melachrino goes close to getting his hat-trick, but Wall comes up with the save.
The fifth MK powerplay of the night goes begging as Connolly is back after a two minute rest for tripping.
Skinns and the Bison D keep the Lightning out as Selby and Baird return to the ice. MK could have so easily got themselves back into the game. So a great job.
Bison run into penalty trouble as Joe Biard joins Matt Selby in the sin bin which gives MK 59 seconds of a 5-on-3 advantage.
Good MK pressure, but the rest of the Connolly penalty is killed off.
Third period underway
END OF THE SECOND PERIOD - MK 1 Bison 4
Well the powerplay is working now and the Herd will be happy to bank this lead ahead of th second leg. MK will have other ideas and have a 57 second powerplay to start the final period. Just remains to see if McPherson can stay out of the sin bin.
MK's top penalty taker McPherson heads to the sin bin again, but there is no powerplay goal as Bison's Connolly departs for high sticks a minute later.
GOAL - MK 1 Bison 4 - Ciaran Long (35:09)
The Bison Brit line comes up trumps as Long finishes a nice move involving Greener and Nicky Chinn. MK call a time out which is a smart move, before the score gets out of hand.
GOAL - MK 1 Bison 3 - Andy Melachrino (32:45)
Melachrino scores his second of the night this time on the powerplay from close range.
Three players off to the sin bin as the MK net comes off. Connolly for the Bison gets two for roughing as does Grant McPherson. MK's Lukas Zatopek gets a delay penalty to give the Bison another powerplay.
Bison are given a great chance to extend their lead on a double powerplay as Lewis Christie joins Janne Jokila in the sin bin. Wall stands tall and MK get themselves out of jail.
Adam Carr tests Skinns, but he comes up with the save as MK look for an equaliser.
GOAL - MK 1 Bison 2 - Miroslav Vantroba (22:12)
The Bison powerplay unit strikes gold as Vantroba fires in from the blue line after Joe Greener and Tomas Karpov combine.
This is after Grant McPherson top penalty taker departs for high sticks.
Bison kill off the rest of the Vantroba hooking penalty.
Second period underway.
END OF THE FIRST PERIOD - MK 1 Bison 1
A fair reflection of the opening 20 minutes. MK will start the second period with 57 seconds left on the Vantroba penalty so lets hope the Herd can kill this off.
Vantroba takes the first Bison penalty of the night as I am back online after website stopped working.
MK kill the first penalty of the night against former Bison player Ross Bowers. The Herd are finding it tough to convert powerplays at the moment.
Both sides have chances to add to their tally.
GOAL - MK 1 Bison 1 - Tom Carlon (5:22)
The home side hit straight back from Carlon after good work by Emersic and Lascek. Maybe it might be a high scoring game after all.
GOAL - MK 0 Bison 1 - Andy Melachrino (4:01)
Melachrino fires into the net from a pass from former MK player Michael Wales. Great way to start.
Game underway Dean Skinns is in goal for Bison and Stephen Wall guards the pipes for the Lightning.
Team news tonight is that both teams are at full strength which is just the way you want it to be for the final.
MK may have shipped 13 goals at the weekend against Guildford, but I am expecting a close game tonight as both teams are bound to focus on defence first before attack.
The Bison will be looking to make it seven wins on the trot.
This is the fourth meeting between these sides this season at Coventry and so far the Herd have won two of the three games including a 6-2 vicrtory last time.
The Bison were last in the EPL Cup final in 2011 when they lost to Slough and the previous year was the last time MK got this far in the competition. They lost to Guildford, but did win the league title that season.
Good evening and welcome to tonight's EPL Cup final first leg between Milton Keynes Lightning and Basingstoke Bison

Pixie, The Story of a Mill Auction Dog
One of the stories behind Wisconsin Act 90

My wife and I have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel that we adopted from Lucky Star Cavalier Rescue three years ago.
Bailey was a 3 year old male stud dog in an Amish puppy mill who was "discarded" when he could no longer "perform". He was very quiet and shy at first, now he quite "barky" and loves going out for walks and to the dog park with his "brothers" Bernie and Murphy, our two lab spaniel mixes.

Thank you, Mr. Schemberger, for this wonderful but tragic tale of the life of a puppy mill dog. Puppy mills exsit because consumers continue to purchase puppies from them, often unknowingly via newspaper ads, off of websites or from pet stores. Pet stores and breeders will deny that their puppies are coming from mills, or that they are a puppy mill. Don't be fooled. Making the sale is their goal. Please don't support this misery...choose to adopt a dog or puppy from your local animal shelter, breed-specific rescue group or from www.petfinder.com.

Okay all that anthropomorphism just could not go unanswered.. Pixie was taken from a very quiet and low stimulation environment with no machinery and was thrust into a two day long trip in a car constantly touched and fussed over by her new owner she then was thrust into water and scrubbed and had her protective coat shorn short in what is in Wisconsin wintertime she had her mouth pried open and her teeth attended to and also was stabbed by multiple injections. She reacted in the logical way and fled at the first available opportunity and unable to find her way home froze to death rather than approach such alarming beings again.

AmberAlert.gov is back up and running again, after the Huffington Post reports the person who operates the site was taken off of furlough Monday morning to reopen it. The site had been displaying a message that it was "unavailable" earlier in the morning. The website normally displays information about Amber Alerts issued across the country, but on Monday morning, instead of displaying critical alerts about missing children, the site read: "Due to the lapse in federal funding, this Office of Justice Programs (OJP) website is unavailable. The message was displayed just below a U.S. Department of Justice seal. Later in the morning, the Huffington Post reported that a DOJ spokesperson confirmed that the Amber Alert system itself had not been shutdown. Only the website had been offline due to the government shutdown. Huffington Post reports the reason for the message was that the sites were put behind a firewall so they could not be hacked while the IT professionals who run them were on furlough.

ʺListen for the sounds of the battle dying away as a defeated Juan runs into the forest, allowing the music to complement the visual impact of his cowardliness.ʺ
Season 2, Episode 7Kirk Lynds, rerecording mixer
Sound rerecording mixer Kirk Lynds explains the depth and detail of sound available to you on the Blu-ray™ release of The Borgias: The Second Season. Experience the drama of Renaissance-era Rome in up to 7.1 channels of rich, high-definition surround sound with Dolby TrueHD.
"The Borgia Bull" (Episode 1, 45:55–47:03)
"Day of Ashes" (Episode 6, 14:13–16:18)
"The Siege at Forli" (Episode 7, 48:32–50:27) "The Confession" (Episode 10, 32:29–35:07)
With the festival party in full swing, the pope makes his way through the crowd toward the large wicker bull. He is walking with his sons Cesare and Juan. In this scene we strived to maintain the loudness and intensity of the party while still allowing the audience to focus on the pope's dialogue.
Crowd sound and music in all channels to envelop the audience
Perspective shifts in the crowd and music to convey distance in the square
The use of the subchannel for up-close shots of the bull burning
The shaping of the audio to allow the pope's dialogue to come through
Cardinal Sforza enters the cathedral to talk with Savonarola. This very simple scene is complemented by Foley and reverb in all channels to place the viewer inside the large space of the cathedral.
The reverb on the voices in all channels
The Foley footsteps of Cardinal Sforza as he walks toward the altar
Juan continues his siege of Forli only to be ambushed by the forces of Ludovico Sforza. Small hand cannons from the right signal the attack while arrows and cannons from Forli castle reign down on the papal forces. Juan attempts to get away on horseback, but an exploding cannon throws him from his horse, forcing him to run from the battle.
The unique sound of the hand cannons
Sounds of the initial attack starting from the right channel
Arrows and cannonballs whizzing by from the surround channels to the front
The sounds of the battle dying away as Juan runs into the forest, allowing the music to complement the visual impact of his cowardliness
Savonarola must face the test of fire or risk being branded a heretic. The scene builds with the fire's intensity. The use of the surround channels and the sub conveys the fire all around Savonarola. The scene is also interesting from a sound perspective due to the intercutting of the pope reading in Rome. The scene builds to a crescendo of fire and music as Savonarola finally succumbs to the flames and burns.
Fire in selective channels to convey the distance and intensity of the blaze
The use of the sub on extreme close-up shots of the fire
The crowd building in all channels as it grows angry
Kirk Lynds is a rerecording mixer at Tattersall Sound & Picture in Toronto. Starting as a rerecording assistant, Kirk worked with leading mixers to learn his future trade. Kirk's additional experience recording ADR and Foley has provided him with an excellent knowledge base to draw upon throughout his mixing career. Over the years, Kirk has received a multitude of awards and nominations for sound (Genie Awards, Gemini Awards, Canadian Screen Awards, and Motion Picture Sound Editors' Golden Reel Award) and most recently took home the newly minted Canadian Screen Award for Best Sound in a Dramatic Program for The Borgias.

Bran Ferren:
To create for the ages, let's combine art and engineering
When Bran Ferren was just 9, his parents took him to see the Pantheon in Rome — and it changed everything. In that moment, he began to understand how the tools of science and engineering become more powerful when combined with art, with design and beauty. Ever since, he's been searching for a convincing modern-day equivalent to Rome's masterpiece. Stay tuned to the end of the talk for his unexpected suggestion.

To BB, Or Not To BB
This column features weekly tips and advice from a revolving cast of industry leaders, on hand to discuss your beauty dilemmas, from blemishes to Botox. To submit a question, e-mail celia _ellenberg@fairchildfashion.
Are BB creams really as revolutionary as people are making them out to be? What makes them so special and can I use them if I have dark skin?
BB creams were originally formulated by the German doctor Christine Schrammek in 1967 to help soothe, protect, and refine very sensitive skin. Lately they've become very popular in Asian markets as some famous actresses were recommending them to treat blemishes and impure skin. But I don't find BB creams revolutionary at all since they come in a variety of different formulations: Some are just soothing and regenerative, some contain brightening ingredients, some are tinted, and some are advertised as having multiple functions, like a moisturizer, primer, foundation, skin refiner, sun block, etc. It's really only a marketing term. And generally, if you have dark skin and no particular dark spots to eliminate, you do not need a cream with whitening components.
Dr. Marko Lens is a consultant plastic and reconstructive surgeon and an internationally renowned expert in the field of skin cancer and skin aging. A fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons, Dr. Lens works out of his own private practice in London, where his extensive research into the process of skin aging led him to create Zelens, a range of advanced cosmeceuticals that utilize potent plant-derived ingredients spiked with biotechnological actives.

Cormier Would Rather Face Jon Jones Than Go Up Against Teammate Velasquez
"I'm not saying that's what I want to do right now. A lot depends on what happens between Cain and Junior dos Santos. [Moving to Light Heavyweight] is a potential plan B if Cain becomes champion again, which I think he will. Imagine that: Me and Jones standing across the cage from one another. That would be crazy because you know I'm putting him on his back."
After winning the Strikeforce HW Grand Prix with his victory over Josh Barnett, Daniel Cormier is guaranteed a slot on the UFC's heavyweight roster.
However, his teammate, Cain Velasquez, may disrupt these plans and force the Olympian to pack down to the weight class below to try his hands at light-heavyweight.
Can Cormier make an impact amongst the UFC's elite 205'ers?

It really was fun and very informative. I'd been to Seattle twice before but I learned things about the city I never knew.
Our tour guide was so knowledgable and welcoming. I learned a lot from him, especially about the Locks and salmon spawning !

I applied and hadn't heard back so I called and still didn't hear back. Finally I received a call from corporate and had a phone interview which went well. Basically they asked about my precious work experience and schooling. She then set up an interview with me.

I was given an unintentional tour as it was near impossible to find anyone in the building to process my paperwork.Interview Questions

There were two very different people when I interviewed: The rehab manager of the facility and the recruiter who I spoke with by phone. The manager was very friendly, but clearly untrained in the hiring process. During the in-person interview, I was asked if I had children and also told that she checked my age when running my background check because she "couldn't guess" how old I was (both are illegal). The recruiter was interesting. The negotiation process started with an offer of less than I was currently making and only went up enough to be an even salary, but with worse benefits. She asked if I'd consider it a "lateral move" to go from an acute care/rehab setting with a team of 6 SLPs to be the only SLP at a SNF. The original offer was $29/hr with 3hrs/wk of ET with 3 - 4 years of experience.Interview Questions

Fun, Fit, Fab: A Miami Getaway
Written on August 3, 2012 at 10:14 am , by FITNESS Editors
Written by Nichole D'Auria, Art Director
It wasn't more than a week after I began craving a spa getaway that I was invited to spend five indulgent days at two of Miami's best resorts. My itinerary, courtesy of the Greater Miami Convention & Visitor Bureau, included golf and tennis lessons, rock climbing, paddle boarding, a DJ dance class, breakfast with a nutritionist, a massage and shopping. And spa treatments, of course. What more could I ask for?
My journey began at the Turnberry Isle resort in Aventura, just north of Miami. Renowned for its world-class championship golf courses, which are good enough for Michael Jordan (yes, I actually spotted him there!), and tennis facilities, this luxe hotel boasts a three-story spa and fitness center. While you're there, treat yourself to a magical reflexology foot massage. Request Pilar, who has over 15 years experience with the hotel. Believe me, after hours of pavement pounding (did I mention that South Florida's leading shopping destination—Aventura Mall—with more than 300 stores is conveniently located across the street?), your feet will thank you.
Be sure to also sign up for the golf and tennis lessons. The ones I took were among the best I ever had, and I've taken a lot of golf lessons. Thanks to my instructor Gary Knapp, I've already knocked a few strokes off my game! Read more

EmilyEm said:
Cora Cash believes herself like Emma Woodhouse to be 'handsome, clever and rich;' but her destiny is more likely to be charted by her mother. Nothing less than a British title will do. When she literally falls into the hands of the enigmatic Duke of Wareham when she falls from her horse, the story takes readers though a year or so of her maiden voyage learning about expectations in the upper class world of fin de siècle England. Some of the characters are a bit stereotyped, but it's a great page-turning read while we wait for another year of 'Downton Abbey!'

Kaleigh Mason was Veganadian for eight years (for anyone unfamiliar with the term, that means a vegan in Canada).
Initially her avoidance of any food with even trace amounts of animal products was for health-related reasons. But lest you think, "Aha! She was vegan for the wrong reasons! No wonder she wasn't committed at all and thus gave up after 8 years instead of 80," Kaleigh did come to accept the environmental and animal-rights reasons too, giving her veganism the obligatory 3 unshakable pillars of health, environment and animals.
Nevertheless, what brought her into veganism also brought her out. If you're thinking of getting into veganism purely for health reasons, Kaleigh's reminiscences might inspire you to reconsider that.
What got you into veganism?
The book by Harvey Diamond called Fit for Life, and especially his second book called Living Health. After I was vegan for a few years, Harvey Diamond came out with a book called Fit for Life, Not Fat for Life, in which he details his constant cravings for steak. After many years of being a near-vegan he decides to have a steak with a salad. At the time this completely and utterly blew my mind. "But he said you can get everything you need from a vegan diet, why would he crave a steak??" kind of thing.
Is this the quote?
"I was vegetarian for over a quarter of a century, but hey, things change. I've always told my readers that if they crave something for a long time, it must be something the body wants or needs, so have it and see how you feel. One day out of the clear blue sky, after not having meat for twenty-five years, I started to crave a charbroiled steak the way a lion craves a wildebeest. I couldn't get it out of my head no matter how much I tried to ignore the craving or convince myself that it was some kind of aberrant desire. So finally I decided to eat the steak, throw it up and move on. The only thing was, I enjoyed it, and I felt great."
Ha! Yes. That's the one.
Did you feel better or worse as a vegan?
I felt better for the first four months and then progressively worse for the next seven years.
But did you tell people you felt better?
While I was vegan I worked as a manager in a health food store. I always told myself and others that I felt much better as a vegan (deep down I knew I didn't). I think I was actually trying to convince myself that I felt better. "I'm thinner, so I MUST feel better."
Too bad, since it sounds like you initially got into veganism for health.
My main reason for starting veganism was for health reasons. I had been anorexic since I was 15 years old, so when I was 18 years old and I found Harvey Diamond's book, I thought, "Well this makes a lot of sense." The reason the vegan philosophy would appeal to someone with an eating disorder is it fits right in with the program. The vegan diet is essentially a starvation diet, even if you eat loads of nuts, seeds, lentils, beans, fruits and vegetables. So in a way it wasn't from a health perspective, it was from a desperation and obsession to be thin.
I also gravitated toward veganism because it's not a balanced diet and I was not a balanced person. As an anorexic young girl, the foods that I ate were usually foods low in fat, low in calories and high in carbohydrates. Clinical studies have been done since the '40s demonstrating that a high carbohydrate diet overstimulates the glands, causing depression, violence, apathy, hyper-sensitivity, hypoglycemia, hypothyroidism, etc. Going from being an anorexic young woman to an extreme raw food vegan was very easy.
Although I started the vegan diet for "health reasons," the ecological and ethical reasoning for veganism led me to continue eating that way until well past the point of mental and physical illness.
What was your diet like as a vegan?
I ate mostly raw vegan foods like fruit, salads, avocados and superfoods like goji, green food powders, maca, cacao, coconut oil, etc. I ate wheat-free sourdough bread, tempeh and miso. And I did a two-week juice fast every year.
Did you ever find veganism to be alienating?
The most alienating experience I had as a vegan was when I was in Austria. I was with a small group of people and they chose a traditional Austrian restaurant. I ordered the garden salad with no dressing, plain potatoes and broccoli (I had to ask them to leave off any butter or cream). The waitress spoke very little English and did the best she could. (She had never heard of such a thing as "VEGAN.")
When my meal came, the salad was covered in cream dressing. I sent the salad back and asked for "NO DRESSING." When the salad came back for the second time it was obvious that someone in the kitchen had simply taken the salad leaves and rinsed off the dressing. I sent the salad back and asked for a new one as the salad still had cream dressing in some places. The waitress was embarrassed and I felt sorry for her, but I thought, "If they had some fucking vegan options this wouldn't be so awkward!"
I spent the rest of the evening complaining to my group about the lack of vegan options in Austria. I'm not even sure what was talked about that night other than my complaining. Looking back, I wish I had just eaten the salad and thanked the waitress for trying so hard to find me something to eat.
I also remember sending back some fried rice because it had a small amount of egg in it. The cook came out of the back with dish gloves on and said "Why is this a problem?" "Because I asked for no egg," I replied. She said, "But this is the way my customers like it." I ended up holding my entire dinner group up because my food came ONE HOUR later than everyone else's.
Did you think you might ever not be vegan?
I thought I would be vegan for life. I thought my kids would be vegan.
What made you realize that you needed to quit veganism?
I was so depressed I couldn't laugh at funny things or smile anymore. I had always been depressed, but always able to at least smile. This was a new low.
I discovered I was deficient in a multitude of different nutrients that are readily available in animal products. (b12, zinc, iron, magnesium, vit D, Retinol Vit A). I also found out I had hypothyroidism, and when I did some research I found the link between raw cruciferous vegetables and soy blocking thyroid function. Protein and pre-formed Vitamin A from animal products are critical for thyroid health. When you have a slow thyroid you cannot convert beta carotene into Retinol Vitamin A, the form you need for healthy thyroid function.
Before I was vegan I had ONE cavity. I developed eight new cavities in the first two years of being a vegan.
There's a lot of myth about vegans getting all the protein and nutrients you require from plants. I ate spinach, watercress, spirulina, chlorella, E3 Live — all supposedly high protein sources for vegans. But how can you possibly get enough fat soluble nutrients for your brain/glands when plants rarely contain fat soluble nutrients? Harvey Diamond, David Wolfe and Paul Bragg would like you to believe you can get everything you need from a raw food vegan diet, but try it out for 10 years and watch yourself turn into a neurotic, nervous, hyper sensitive and adrenally burnt-out mess.
You feel safe on the vegan diet, though, because you're not eating the so-called fattening/carcinogenic foods the media warns against.
Even though you weren't healthy as a vegan, did you still think veganism was morally right?
It wasn't just my own health problems that made me think veganism was not what it was cracked up to be. One of the arguments for being vegan is that killing animals is speciesism. So you only eat plants because plants don't suffer. But after I read a book called The Secret Life of Plants, I realized that only eating plants, thinking you're eating something inanimate, without consciousness or feelings, is also a form of speciesism.
One interesting point from The Secret Life of Plants is that when they attach electrodes to animal tissue, plant and mineral, all of them have the same emotional response to stimuli. So what they showed was rose quartz, chickens and orchids all feel. Then after doing some research on traditional diets I discovered that I was actually doing more harm to the environment by eating a vegan diet than by eating a 100 percent local diet.
I live in Ontario, Canada and during the winter the only local vegan foods left to eat are frozen berries, carrots, potatoes, squash, parsnips, turnips, yams and other root vegetables. Sustaining on those foods all winter would be impossible. So you start importing coconut oil, gojis, cacao, maca, avocados, green salads, etc. I realized that driving half a mile down the road to buy some eggs is a better option ecologically than buying all these expensive imported "superfoods." And when you do the research, the pastured, local egg has more nutrition than any of the superfoods I was paying 10 or 20X more for. So after awhile I felt pretty counterproductive and hypocritical in my vegan stance.
How did you quit veganism?
I biked to the farm that my mother used to buy her eggs from when I was a kid. I hard-boiled them and ate one. I thought I would feel unwell or nauseous after eating the egg because I hadn't eaten eggs in so long, but I felt great!
I read once that plant foods contain high amounts of copper, and animal protein high amounts of zinc. Zinc and copper balance each other in the body. High levels of copper can cause anxiety and paranoia, plus other schizophrenic type symptoms. So the zinc in the egg was really good for me and has helped to balance my nervous system and reduce my anxiety to the point where the only time I feel anxious or depressed is when I've gone too long without eating eggs. But I generally now eat 14 eggs a week. These are local eggs from chickens that forage for their own food and get plenty of sunlight.
I then progressed to yogurt and on Christmas of 2008 I ate salmon and turkey for the first time in almost a decade. They tasted exactly as I had remembered.
What is your diet like now?
I eat protein, fat and complex carbohydrates at every meal, focusing on local, pasture-raised animal products, local butter, vegetables and whole grains. I avoid gluten, white sugar, soy and seed oils. Plus I try to avoid anything genetically modified — which is just about everything in the grocery store when you live in North America.
You still work in a health food store. Do you get a lot of vegans coming in?
A couple of weeks ago a raw vegan came into the store and asked me why I started eating animal products again. I explained the health problems I encountered on a vegan diet and how depressed I felt.
"Well, were you raw vegan?" she asked. "For most of the time I was," I told her. I said that I did everything "right" and took supplements but it didn't work for me. "Health can only come from whole foods!!!" she said. "Yeah, that's why I've been drinking raw milk and eating animal products again," I said.
But she didn't understand that one because in a vegan's mind only fruits and vegetables are whole foods. It makes me sad because this woman is looking for health by following the raw vegan diet but hasn't found it. She has sores on her face that won't heal. She buys two large bottles of sleep and pain supplements a month and she's pathologically miserable. But only raw foods can bring health.
Are most vegans destined for eventual ex-veganism?
Well, if they don't mind cavities, fatigue, depression, glandular problems, candidiasis and anxiety, plus conflicting, hypocritical ideals they're not!
Would you ever date a vegan now?
I would definitely date anyone I liked regardless of eating habits or religion. But I would very subtly, in the nicest way…make him not vegan. I would make animal foods but never ever tell him that he has to eat them to be healthy. I would support veganism, but more from the stance that I'm supporting his choices — not necessarily veganism. And then eventually he would ask me to make him an egg.
The key is not telling them what to eat or what to do. For some reason, people HATE that!
How did your omnivore friends react when they found out you were no longer vegan?
They're still shocked when they see me eating a steak. The vegan diet was so much a part of my personality that people nicknamed me VEGAN. They just sit bug-eyed when I'm explaining how one makes bone broth or pickled heart.
A lot of ex-vegans get into organ meats and other sorts of offal that even most lifelong omnivores won't touch. Why do you think that is?
There's something about the personality of someone who gravitates toward veganism. They're desperate to find the truth and to help the planet and themselves. The information on the health-rebuilding benefits of organ meats is out there and if someone wants to discover the truth about healthy foods, that's what they will end up finding.
My mother was raised on a farm with her six brothers and sisters. Her mother had been a dairy farmer and her father was an old order Mennonite. My grandparents had their kids eat liver once a week and pickled heart as much as they liked. This is a practice we have lost, not something omnivores have never done.
My great aunt gave me her old nursing textbook from 1920 and it recommended cod liver oil and organ meats on a daily basis, and plenty of eggs and bone-broth-based soups and stews. My friend is taking nursing right now and all of this valuable information has been replaced with "avoid liver and eggs as they are high in cholesterol."
What do you miss about veganism?
I miss believing in the blanket vegan solution for all of our health and ecological problems. Just kidding. I don't miss one fucking thing.
