Quoted from pkarmeier No gallbladder. Next............
Quoted from Alia_Vo I think cleansing the liver is important since the liver has so many important functions internally. In TCM, the liver is considered the 'Chief'.As follows is the liver health protocol, or perhaps you can start to including liver building foods into your daily meals: dandelion greens, artichokes, dandelion tea:http://www.dadamo.com/protocols/19.htmlAlia
Quoted from erictm998 I'm a huge fan of the liver cleanse. I'm only 22, on my 11th cleanse, and have expelled literally thousands of gallstones already. I notice a significant improvement every time I do one.
Quoted from ironwood55 I agree that they are great. I have done 33 or 34 (I think I lost count) in slightly over 3 years. I got the biggest stone in the last flush I did. It was huge! I don't notice as much improvement now as I did with the first 10 or so.
Quoted from ISA-MANUELA I think if you are compliant on BTD...no cleans needed
Quoted from mmdoppel Are you guys doing a liver cleanse w/ an epsom salt recipe ? If so did you do any anti-parasite therapy before the liver cleanse ?
Quoted from pkarmeier What would come after the liver cleanse/flush?
Quoted Text I disagree, I have been on the BTD very compliantly for 5 years and I am still passing plenty of stones with each liver flush I do. I was on the BTD for almost 2 years before I did my first flush.I think their are a couple of situations where this is very valuable. One you developed a congested liver from some health condition prior to starting the BTD. Or two, you continue have a health condition after starting the BTD that makes your liver continue to produce stones.In my case, I suspect that the liver congestion is a result of mercury toxicity, which is known to effect liver function. The BTD is not going to solve that problem.
Quoted from Eric You can read all about it here:http://www.curezone.com/cleanse/liver/huldas_recipe.aspBenefits in a nutshell: Â Improved digestion, clearer skin, more energy/less fatigueDrawbacks in a nutshell: Â You'll have to use the toilet quite a few times.
Quoted from PCUK-Positive ozonated olive oil is when you run a ozone generator through olive oil. you need to but an ozone generator first. they cost from £30 upwards. http://www.ozonate.co.za/ozonated-olive-oil.htmlthe herbs you are looking for are for the parasite cleanse which is recommended before you do a liver cleanse.It is also recommended that you do a kidney cleanse prior to a liver cleanse, according to Hulda Clark and some others including moritz.If you keep animals then the parasite cleanse should be ongoing and the animals should do the cleanse also otherwise you get reinfected very quickly apparently.I think it is a good idea to read one or two complete books on it to get a real feel for it.
Quoted from ruthiegirl I did the Hulda Clarke liver/gallbladder flush a few times without ever doing the other cleanses first. It was uncomfortable, but it did clear up the "gallbladder sludge" found via ultrasound.I don't think it would hurt you to just do the liver cleanse, either the Hulda Clarke version or Dr D's "Explorer Liver Cleanse" which is a whole lot more gentle.

Quoted from wanthanee Also, some parts of the book, Eat Right For Your Type on page 41, says:You may be unfamiliar with the term Phytpchemicals, once called "weeds" or " herbs," are sources of high concentrations of liologically active compounds. " These compounds are widely available in other plants, but in far smaller amounts. Many Phytochemicals-which I prefer to think of as food concentrantes-are antioxidants, and several of them are many times more powerful than vitamins. Interestingly, these phytochemical antioxidants exhibit a remarkable degree of tisue preference, which vitamins do not enjoy. For example, the milk thistle plant (Silybum marianum) and the spice turmeric (curcuma longa) both have an antioxidant capability hundreds of times stronger than vitamins E, and they deposit with a great degree of preference for liver tissue These plants are very beneficial for disorders characterized by inflammation of the liver, such as hepatitis and cirrhosis.Your specialized program of vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals will round out the dietary aspect of your program.
Quoted from SandrAruba Thank you Wanthanee. I was at the store the other day and saw turmeric supplement, and I was wondering if I should take it. I know it's beneficial for, among other things, the brain. I'll go and pick it up tomorrow.

If you'll recall, Major League Baseball traded in their old hot stove this past off season and got a whole new system for heating up rumours with the renegotiation of the collective bargaining agreement between owners and players. The new rules, which eliminate Type A and Type B status, and restrict free agent compensation to players that spent the entire season with the same club, will make for entirely different transaction strategies from Major League ball clubs leading up to the July 31st non-waiver trade deadline.
This opens up a whole new list of possibilities, including the increased likelihood of a team trading a pending free agent at the deadline and then re-signing that same player to a new contract during the off season. For instance, the Milwaukee Brewers could trade Zack Greinke as a rental at the end of July and then negotiate a new deal with him in December and enjoy both Greinke and whatever in terms of prospects that they acquired for him in the summer. Fun stuff.
According to a Major League Baseball executive with whom Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports had the pleasure of speaking, the changes in the labour agreement could also lead to an increase in teams requesting a 72 hour window to negotiate a contract with prospective free agents that might be available through trade.
To use the Greinke example again, an interested team in the midst of trade negotiations would ask the Brewers for permission to negotiate a contract with the pitcher due to hit free agency to ensure that they would be able to lock the player up beyond the few months remaining on his contract.
Most recently, we saw such terms negotiated as part of the Boston Red Sox trade for Adrian Gonzalez from the San Diego Padres. Before the deal was sealed, Boston had a few days to speak with Gonzalez and his representatives. A deal was worked out, and later signed (once it was safe from a luxury tax perspective to do so) between the Red Sox and their current first baseman.
On one hand, teams selling their prospective free agent can expect to get a greater return on a player willing to sign a long-term contract extension with his new team as opposed to a mere rental for the stretch run (and hopefully, the post season as well). However, as Mr. Rosenthal points out, what sounds good in theory, doesn't always work out well in practice.
If a deal falls apart, that's 72 hours gone to waste – 72 hours of potential talks with other clubs, 72 hours that are critical as the deadline nears. The pressure on both teams to complete the trade – and potential for embarrassment – only increases if a trade agreement is reported before the player agrees to an extension.
And let's say you're the player in the middle of all this: Why would you rush into an extension with a new team when you're months away from free agency? The circumstances – and money – would need to be almost perfect.
Shortly after the new CBA terms were announced, it was suggested that we might see more player movement prior to the trade deadline this season. While, that still might be the case, I have my doubts that those future deals will involve the type of players that are likely to warrant a qualifying offer and bring back compensation for their current team.
The equivalent (at least) of a first round draft pick seems like far too high of a price to pay in exchange for a player that might only play a couple of months in your team's uniform, especially in MLB's current environment which tends to value prospects and the potential for the low cost/high impact players hopefully available in the early rounds of the draft.
However, as a certain member of the Getting Blanked team likes to say, "Flags fly forever," and so there may still be a front office or two willing to make a move that they believe ensures a World Series banner hanging from the rafters of their stadium.

text: | Dáil Éireann - Volume 663 - 14 October, 2008 Written Answers. - Community Employment Schemes. Deputy John O'Mahony Deputy John OMahony Deputy John O'Mahony asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the position regarding persons over the age of 55 years seeking positions on community employment schemes who have previously been participants in schemes; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34928/08] Deputy Mary Coughlan Deputy Mary Coughlan Deputy Mary Coughlan: Community Employment (CE) is an active labour market programme designed to provide eligible long term unemployed people and other disadvantaged persons with an opportunity to engage in useful work within their communities on a fixed term basis. The programme helps unemployed people to progress to the open labour market by breaking their experience of unemployment through a return to work routine and assists them in enhancing/developing both their technical and personal skills. To cater for older workers in particular, in November 2004 the 3 year CE capping was revised to allow those of 55 years of age and over to avail of a 6-year period on CE (based on participation since 3rd April, 2000). This was introduced in recognition of the fact that older participants may find it more difficult to progress into the open labour market. The aim of CE still remains as an active labour market programme with the emphasis on progression into employment. The programme is managed within this context, with consideration given to the availability of resources and the needs of participants and the community. However, it should be remembered that, in so far as participants remain or return to CE, they are precluding someone else from benefiting from the programme. FÁS makes every effort to ensure that differing levels of demand between neighbouring schemes are equalised. FÁS also operates the programme flexibly as far as possible to ensure the continuation of community projects. For a person to be considered for re-entry to Community Employment 12 months need to have elapsed since any previous participation and he/she must have been on the Live Register for that 12 month period. This is entirely subject to the availability of places, local demand and equity of opportunity to eligible long term unemployed people. In conclusion then, I would say that this Government will continue to support the positive role of CE in meeting the needs of long-term unemployed persons while at the same time providing essential services to communities. In this regard, we are keeping the operation of the Scheme under constant review. Dáil Éireann 663 Written Answers. Community Employment Schemes. Questions 20081014 | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Front End Clicking sound.
Hi guys. I have recently noticed that when I coast, I get a weird clicking sound that seems to be from the front end. It starts when I am either coasting really slowly to a stop, or when I apply the breaks. From the info I have read on here, it seems like it could possibly be the wheel bearing. I jacked up the truck and shook both front tires but the dont seem to have any play but when I spin the tires, I can hear a really slight noise that resembles the clicking, but im not sure if Im being overly particular. I dont have any kind of locking hubs either. Just bilstein 5100s, camburg ucas, KMC enduros and 285s. Any help would be greatly appriciated.
sounds like the shaft issue - there is a thread about it somewhere on here.
Drive shaft? Could be possibly. I havent gotten the carrier bearing drop from beefed tacos yet from the lift but it never made a clicking noise. Just an occasional groan sometimes. Its just it sounds like it comming more from the front.
It could be the fit kit in the brake calipers shifting. They might need a clean and lube.
What is the fit kit?
BTW it seems like it got a little bit louder today. Either that or Im being picky. lol
It is the little pins that the brake pads sit on. There is also a little bracket that looks like a "Shepards cane" I suppose. What year is your truck?
NM its a 2005. It sounds like its coming from the front? You could also get a grease gun and hit the slip yokes/u- joints on the front and rear drive shafts too. Unless you JUST hear it when you hit the brakes. |
Well I hear it when Im comming to a stop (coasting) but it is definatley more prominate when I hit the brakes. Ill try out the grease gun.
If it happens when you brake, it is more likley the pads shifting in the caliper. However, the grease gun is a good idea anyways.
See the pic taken from badguybusters how to.- Its the pin going across the pads- I would use a brake caliper lube on them. http://img809.imageshack.us/img809/3983/1001839p.jpg |
Oh ok I see. Ya I changed the breaks myself and I was very liberal with the anti friction past that I put on the back of the pads. It could very well be that clip because the clicking sounds slightly metallic as if it were a clip.
Its also important to apply the lube to the pin itself, so when the pads shift it doesn't make noise.
Ok. Ill try that.
Just to describe the sound better, it sounds sort of metallic and it happens every time the wheel makes a full rotation. |
That could be a "high"spot and glazing on the rotor.
Ya. I'm almost certain its those wheel bearings.
I have a similar clicking when I put the breaks on at low speeds, and coasting. I'm dead certain it's coming from the front left wheel, inclined to think it's the pin aforementioned. I'm interested to see where this goes. Sub'd
Glad I'm not the only one but sorry its happening to you too. If its not the clip, I'm definitely going to change out the wheel bearings.
I'll be sure to let you know how things turn out with my click. This upcoming weekend I might jack her up and have a look see. Hopefully it's not a bearing....
Bearings aren't that hard to replace if you get the ones that bolt on instead of being pressed in. I kind of hope it is my bearings because everyone I've talked to that has gotten their bearings changed said it drove so much better/smoother and their steering felt better.
Well I would assume a bearing is covered under warranty? If isn't the clip I'll have Toyota take a gander.

Demonstrating the historical reliability of the Bible through archaeological research and related apologetic investigation.
Three early martyrdoms are recorded in the New Testament: John the Baptist in ca. AD 31, Stephen in ca. AD 35 and James the apostle in ca. AD 44. There would be countless others that would follow in their train. In this article I would like to briefly consider the history and archaeology associated with the first Christian martyr, John the Baptist.

I bought a platter and a tray (or whatever they are...lol) today at a yard sale. They aren't a matching set, but from the design and marks, appear to be from the same maker. I have no clue who the maker is, and can't find anything about it online. I found a place that sold something with the same mark, but the page said they didn't know the name either, although it said they've come across this mark a few times. I'm hoping someone can help. Thge mark is a pine tree (or at least looks to be a pine tree), and below the tree, there is the letter "M" on the left, and the letter "D" is on the right. Both the platter and the tray have what seems like a porcelain center piece, and then either a pewter or silver-plated border around it (it's not a solid tray...the porcelain is like a flat plate, and then the metal is just like a trim ring around it). Here's pics of the platter first, and then the tray second. The tray does not have the tree/letter mark, but all of the other markings are similar.
Note that in this pic, to the right of the "12 Z 21", there is also "2X", which you can see very faintly. Thanks for any help or info that anyone can give me. :) |
Follow-Up Postings:
Nothing in either of my 2 Kovels Marks books. I thought it would be so easy as excellent marks. I looked at silver book I have & it didn't have any with insets. Then I tried Antique Trader's Pottery & Porcelain Ceramics & looked under anything M or D & came up with nothing! Sorry! |
Darn. Thanks for looking for me. Hopefully someone else might know what/who it is. Thanks. :) |
OK. Just in case anybody else had a piece with the tree marking and was trying to find the maker, or for anyone else that was just interested or wanted to expand their knowledge, I got an answer from someone on another board. The maker was Max Dannnhorn in Germany. Made from 1872 to 1921. Here's a link: http://www.porcelainmarksandmore.com/bavaria/nuernberg_1/00.php Thanks for the assistance :) P.S. Still trying to figure out if the 2nd tray was from the same maker, or a different maker that just used similar markings. |
Thanks....I'll file that in my brain somewhere....just hope to retrieve it when needed! Linda C |
Villeroy & Boch, & Mettlach also made similar wares. I've never seen the Max Dannhorn mark before, but have sold lots of Mettlach. |

IBM Announces Power 6 Blades and Software
The J2SS Blade Center triggers a new virtualization drive. The Linux-friendly system helps operators save electricity.
Parallel to the announcement of the JS22 Express Blade Center with Power 6 CPUs that support Linux, IBM has announced two software units designed to help customers save hardware and electricity. Advanced Power Virtualization is part of IBM's Power 6 technology and designed to support up to ten virtual servers on a single processor core. The latest version of Active Energy Manager, an power monitoring tool, allows customers to cap power consumption. This and other projects are part of IBM's Big Green campaign (see the separate article here).
Inside a Power 6 blade server. The pictures shows an IBM engineer fitting a memory module.
Unix customers additionally have the ability to migrate, move or replace components without downtime: Live Partition Mobility is a Power 6 platform feature which is only implemented for Unix. It gives administrators the ability to physically move complete operating system partitions in production environments.The feature is incluced with the Enterprise Edition of Advanced Power Virtualization, and not available for other CPUs or operating systems.
Blade servers with Power 6 CPUs will be available in H cases and HT cases as of November 2007, says the vendor. A JS22 express configuration with 4GB RAM and 73GB disk capacity in an H case will cost US$ 10,363, although resellers may offer the system at different prices. Advanced Power Virtualization (Standard Edition) will be available as of mid-November and is included with POWER-based blade servers. Active Energy Manager will be available as of mid-December. Energy management and power consumption capping cost around US$ 100 per system. More information on Energy Manager will be available here as of November 13, says IBM.

The Ashanti Region is the cultural heartbeat of Ghana. Land of the Golden Stool expressed in the language, passage rites, festivals, cuisine and ordinary day-to-day activities. Visitors can participate in several traditional events such as funerals, naming ceremonies. Royal Akwasidae held every six weeks at the Royal Palace of the Asante King, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II. The scenic and hilly capital city of Kumasi is a vast tropical rainforest belt. Still forest country, dominated by impressive buttress rooted forest giants, alongside large cocoa farms and picturesque hillside settlements. Beautiful weather; chilly in the mornings, bright, clear and sunny in the afternoons for most of the year and cool nights provide ideal conditions for visitors to; experience this exciting colourful world of hearty hardworking people. Ashanti is also home of the most important god mine in Ghana at Obuasi (50km south-west of Kumasi). Surface visits can be arranged, and the town still has air of the gold rush days of the 1890s. Throughout Ashanti (and especially in Kumasi) you will find welcoming hotels and restaurants, while in the main town's nightlife and entertainments are first class. Sporting facilities are available in the urban areas, while exciting fishing can be enjoyed in our lakes and rivers. To discover the traditional heartland of Ghana, a visit to Ashanti is a must..
Ashanti Region is well connected by road, rail and air. Inter- City/STC and Neoplan buses shuttle hourly between Kumasi and Accra daily. Similarly, other regional capi- tals and major towns can be reached by buses (or trotros) from Kumasi. Situated on the apex of the railway network, the Ghana Railway Corporation operates comfortable passenger trains from Kumasi to Accra and Kumasi to Takoradi.
Restaurants and fast food outlets provide both international and Ghanaian dishes. Visitors may sample tasty indigenous Ghanaian meals, Indian or Chinese delicacies as well as continental dishes. Local eating places (or Chop Bars) are found in most parts of the Region. A variety of options from open-air drinking bars, street side cafes, casinos, to night clubs and theatres are available. Contact the Ghana Tourist Board for a list.
Remember, whenever you choose to visit, you will be greeted with warmth in the word of welcome "AKWAABA"

Aphasia is a communication disorder which makes it difficult to read, write or speak.
Aphasia is a condition that affects the brain and leads to problems using language correctly.
People with aphasia make mistakes in the words they use, sometimes using the wrong sounds in a word, choosing the wrong word, or putting words together incorrectly.
Aphasia also affects speaking and writing in the same way. Many people with the condition find it difficult to understand words and sentences they hear or read.
Why does aphasia happen?
Aphasia is caused by damage to parts of the brain responsible for understanding and using language. Common causes include:
- stroke, thought to be the most common cause, around one in three people experience some degree of aphasia after having a stroke
- severe head injury
- brain tumour
- progressive neurological conditions (conditions that over time cause progressive brain and nervous system damage, such as Alzheimer's disease)
Read more about the causes of aphasia.
Types of aphasia
Some more common types of aphasia are:
- Broca's aphasia
- Wernicke's aphasia
- global aphasia
- aphasia in Alzheimer's disease
- primary progressive aphasia (PPA)
These are described below.
Broca's aphasia
In Broca's aphasia, also known as non-fluent or expressive aphasia, a person has great difficulty speaking and can only manage to string a small number of words together in short, halting sentences. However, it is usually possible to understand the meaning of their speech. For example, a person with Broca's aphasia might say, "Want...coffee... no...milk".
Wernicke's aphasia
In Wernicke's aphasia, also known as fluent aphasia, a person is able to speak normally and use long, complex sentences, but the actual words they use do not make sense, or they include nonsense words in their speech.
Many people with Wernicke's aphasia are often unaware their spoken language makes no sense to others and can become angry or frustrated by the lack of understanding shown by others.
Global aphasia
Global aphasia is a severe form of aphasia. Someone with the condition has difficulty with all forms of communication, including speaking, reading, writing, correctly naming objects or people, and understanding other people's speech.
Aphasia in Alzheimer's disease
People with Alzheimer's disease usually have trouble thinking of the right word, or remembering people's names. This is called anomia or anomic aphasia. As the condition gets worse, people may have difficulty putting a sentence together and making themselves understood. People usually develop problems with memory and understanding at the same time, which can also make communication more difficult.
Primary progressive aphasia
Sometimes a progressive brain disease causes aphasia but doesn't affect memory or other thought processes for a long time, possibly for several years. This is called primary progressive aphasia (PPA).
Read more about the symptoms of aphasia.
How is aphasia treated?
A speech and language therapist (SLT) usually diagnoses the condition by testing your language capabilities. They can also help arrange treatment.
Speech and language therapy is the main type of treatment for people with aphasia. This aims to help restore some of your ability to communicate and also help you develop alternative ways of communicating, if necessary.
The effectiveness of treatment is different for everyone, but most people with aphasia make at least some degree of recovery and some recover fully. Even if aphasia persists, it does not necessarily mean a person is unable to live an independent and meaningful life.
However, the chances of recovery for people with aphasia related to progressive neurological conditions is poor because there is no way of repairing or preventing the ongoing injury to the brain associated with these types of conditions.
When aphasia is caused by a progressive condition, treatment focuses on making the most of what people can still do, and on developing other ways of communicating, to prepare for a time when speaking will be more difficult.
Read more about diagnosing aphasia and treating aphasia.
Due to the challenges of living with aphasia, some people with the condition develop further problems.
People may experience what are sometimes called "catastrophic reactions". These are sudden and overwhelming outbursts of frustration and anxiety, often in the form of aggression or screaming. However, these reactions are only temporary and should pass.
Losing the ability to communicate effectively can understandably also lead to depression in many people with aphasia. Discussing feelings openly or taking medication can be helpful in managing this.
Read more about complications of aphasia.
The main sign of aphasia is difficulty with communication, although the condition affects everyone differently.
The main sign of aphasia is difficulty with communication, although the condition affects everyone differently.
In cases where aphasia has been caused by a sudden brain injury, such as a stroke or a severe head injury, symptoms will usually develop straight after the injury.
In cases where there is gradual damage to the brain as a result of a condition that gets worse over time, such as dementia or a brain tumour, the symptoms may develop gradually.
Broca's aphasia
Someone with Broca's aphasia will usually have the following signs and symptoms:
- slow and halting speech
- they may struggle to get certain words out, such as the names of objects, places or people
- the content of their speech is usually stripped down to simple elements and only contains basic nouns and verbs, for example, "want drink" or "go town today"
- their writing ability is often similarly affected
A person with Broca's aphasia may be able to understand spoken language to some degree, but have difficulty understanding grammar. For example, they may be unable to tell the difference in meaning between, "Maureen slapped the naughty boy" and "the naughty boy slapped Maureen."
Their ability to read is usually affected. For example, they may assign different meanings to written words, such as reading 'symphony' when the word is actually 'concert'. They may also lose the ability to sound out written words in their head.
Additional symptoms not directly connected to speech and language but which can occur in people with Broca's aphasia include:
- an inability to control facial muscles and limbs
- weakness down one side of their body (usually the right side)
Wernicke's aphasia
A person with Wernicke's aphasia will usually have the following signs and symptoms:
- They may be able to speak fluently using long sentences, but their speech lacks meaning and often includes nonsense words. For example, they might say "That was just like time for the next week when the bait". The same difficulty may also occur when they write.
- They may have difficulty understanding what people say, and what written words mean.
- They often don't realise that they have difficulty understanding, and don't know why people can't understand them. This is especially true during the initial stages of the condition, and can be frustrating for them.
Additional symptoms can include:
- some loss of vision
- difficulties with arithmetic, such as adding, subtracting, multiplying or dividing numbers
- difficulties with spatial orientation, which is the ability to judge accurately where you are in relation to other objects
- loss of voluntary limb control
Global aphasia
People with global aphasia have symptoms of both Broca's aphasia and Wernicke's aphasia. This can cause severe problems with all aspects of communication, as they have great difficulty with speaking, understanding, reading and writing.
Additional symptoms can include:
- paralysis of the right side of the body
- some loss of vision
- loss of voluntary control of their limbs
- problems pronouncing certain sounds and words due to difficulties controlling the mouth, tongue and voice box
Primary progressive aphasia
The first problem that people with primary progressive aphasia (PPA) usually notice is difficulty finding the right word or remembering somebody's name. Gradually the problems get worse, and there are three main ways in which this can happen:
- Speaking becomes hesitant and effortful, and the person makes mistakes in the sounds of words and in grammar.
- Speaking becomes slow, with short, simple sentences.
- The person forgets the meaning of complicated words, and later also simple ones, making it more difficult for them to understand other people. Speaking remains easy but they become increasingly vague and general in what they say.
A person with PPA may also experience other symptoms later in their illness, including changes in their personality and behaviour, difficulties with memory and thinking similar to Alzheimer's disease, or difficulties with movement similar to Parkinson's disease.
Aphasia is the result of damage to the parts of the brain that are responsible for speaking, reading, writing and understanding others.
Aphasia is the result of damage to the parts of the brain involved in speaking, reading, writing and understanding others.
Collectively, these parts of the brain are known as the brain's language centre.
The language centre
The language centre is not a single area of the brain. It is a network of specific sections of the brain that work together.
The language centre is made up of:
- Broca's area, involved with the production of speech
- Wernicke's area, involved with understanding spoken and written language
- the sensory cortex, involved with processing the various signals the body receives, such as sounds (for language) and images (for reading)
- the auditory cortex, involved with converting the actual physical sounds of spoken language into meaningful information
- the motor cortex, involved with controlling various parts of the body used to generate speech, including the tongue and voice box
In the past, it was thought damage to a specific part of the brain would always result in a specific type of aphasia, for example, damage to the Broca's area would always result in Broca's aphasia. However, the way the language centre works is now thought to be less straightforward than this.
Damage to specific areas of the language centre does not always lead to the expected symptoms. Also, the after effects of brain damage can vary considerably from person to person, making them unpredictable.
Damage to many sections of the brain will usually result in more severe types of aphasia, such as global aphasia.
Brain damage
Ways that the brain can become damaged include the following:
- stroke: during a stroke the brain is deprived of blood and oxygen, which leads to the death of brain tissue
- severe head injury: for example, the sort of injury that occurs as a result of a road traffic accident or following a serious fall from height
- brain tumour: where an abnormal growth of cells develops inside the brain
- health conditions that cause progressive loss of cells from the brain, such as Alzheimer's disease. Parkinson's disease does not cause aphasia, but some very similar conditions may do so, such as progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) or corticobasal degeneration (CBD)
- infections that affect the brain, such as meningitis (an infection of the outer layer of the brain) and encephalitis (an infection of the brain itself), although this is a much rarer cause of aphasia
Aphasia is usually diagnosed after tests carried out by a specialist called a speech and language therapist.
Aphasia is usually diagnosed after tests carried out by a specialist called a speech and language therapist.
Communication assessment
There are several tests used to assess an individual's communication skills.
These tests often involve simple exercises, such as asking a person to name as many words as they can think of beginning with the letter F, or asking them to name objects in the room. The results can then be used to build up a detailed picture of a person's language capabilities.
Imaging scans
Imaging techniques can be used to assess the extent of any brain damage. The two most widely used types of imaging in diagnosing aphasia are:
Less commonly, a type of scan known as a positron emission tomography (PET) scan may be used to assess the state and functionality of the brain. PET scans are usually only used to carry out clinical research at specialist centres.
A PET scan works by detecting energy produced by positrons (positively charged particles). This allows researchers to study a number of processes inside the brain, such as blood flow, inflammation, and the release of dopamine (a chemical associated with physical pleasure). Therefore, a PET scan can provide an insight into how the brain is functioning, as well as simply seeing what it looks like.
This type of information can be useful in diagnosing aphasia associated with progressive damage to the brain, such as damage caused by Alzheimer's disease.
Sometimes aphasia will improve on its own without treatment, but a type of treatment called speech and language therapy is usually recommended.
Sometimes aphasia will improve on its own without treatment, but a type of treatment called speech and language therapy is usually recommended.
This treatment is carried out by a speech and language therapist (SLT). If you were admitted to hospital, there should be a speech and language therapy team there.
If you weren't admitted to hospital or didn't see an SLT while you were there, you can ask your GP to refer you. In some areas you can contact your local speech and language therapy department directly.
For people with aphasia, speech and language therapy aims to:
- help you communicate to the best of your ability
- help restore as much of your speech and language as possible
- find alternative ways of communicating
Evidence suggests that speech and language therapy is more effective if it is started as soon as possible, as most people who make a recovery do so within six months. However, it is important to remember there can be improvements even after many years.
How the therapy is carried out will depend on your circumstances. If appropriate, an intensive course of speech and language therapy may be recommended as this can be more effective. This involves longer individual sessions spread out over a shorter period of time.
However, speech and language therapy can be exhausting and an intensive course of treatment will not be suitable for everyone. For some people, short but frequent sessions may be recommended to begin with.
The treatment you receive will depend on your general health and the difficulties you have with your speech, language or social skills, as there is no universally accepted treatment for aphasia.
It is therefore important that an assessment is carried out before therapy begins so the therapist can identify your strengths and which aspects of language you have the most difficulty with.
The therapist will initially informally assess your language and communication by talking to you and your family. They will try to determine if your problems are related to understanding language or if you have problems expressing yourself.
The SLT should then carry out a formal assessment to focus on the areas that need to be targeted in therapy. Other health problems that may impact on your ability to communicate, such as hearing or sight problems, will also be taken into account.
After these assessments, your SLT will have a good idea of the extent of your communication difficulties and will start putting together a treatment plan.
Speech and language therapy techniques
The specific speech and language therapy techniques used and the aims of the treatment will depend on each person's circumstances. Some examples of the techniques that may be used are described below.
If you have difficulty understanding words, your SLT may ask you to carry out tasks such as matching words to pictures or sorting words by their meaning. The aim of these tasks is to improve your ability to remember meanings and link them with other words.
If you have difficulty expressing yourself, your SLT may ask you to practise naming pictures or judge whether certain words rhyme. They may also ask you to repeat words that they say, with prompting if necessary. If you are able to complete tasks with single words, your therapist will work on your ability to construct sentences.
Some techniques may involve working with a computer. Other methods may include group therapy with other people with aphasia, or working with family members. This will allow you to practise conversational skills, such as taking turns speaking, or rehearse common situations, such as making a telephone call.
Alternative methods of communication
An important part of speech therapy is using your strengths to find different ways for you to communicate. Your therapist will help you develop alternatives to talking, such as using gesture, writing, drawing or communication charts.
Communication charts are large grids containing letters, words or pictures. They allow someone with aphasia to communicate by pointing at the word or letter to indicate what they want to say.
For some people, specially designed electronic devices, such as voice output communication aids (VOCAs), may be useful. VOCAs use a computer-generated voice to play messages aloud. This can help if you have difficulty speaking but you are able to write or type. There are also applications (apps) available on smartphones and computer tablets that can do this.
The funding available for alternative communication technologies such as VOCAs varies throughout the UK. Some local health or education authorities pay for them, but it may be necessary to buy the equipment yourself, fundraise or borrow equipment from a charity.
Communicating with a person with aphasia
If you live with or care for a person with aphasia, you may be unsure about the best way to communicate with them. You may find the following advice helpful:
- After speaking, allow the person plenty of time to respond. If a person with aphasia feels rushed or pressured to speak, they may become anxious, which can affect their ability to communicate.
- Use short, uncomplicated sentences and do not change the topic of conversation too quickly.
- Avoid asking open-ended questions. Closed questions that have a yes or no answer can be better.
- Avoid finishing a person's sentences or correcting any errors in their language. This may cause resentment and frustration for the person with aphasia.
- Keep distractions to a minimum, such as background radio or TV noise.
- Use paper and a pen to write down key words or draw diagrams or pictures to help reinforce your message and support their understanding.
- If you do not understand something that a person with aphasia is trying to communicate, do not pretend you understand. The person may find this patronising and upsetting.
- Use visual references, such as pointing, gesture and using objects, to support their understanding.
- If they are having difficulty finding the right word, prompt them – ask them to describe the word, think of a similar word, try to visualise it, think of the sound the word starts with, try to write the word, use gesture or point to an object.
Other treatments
Research is currently being carried out to study whether other treatments can benefit people with aphasia. These include:
- medication – such as piracetam, bifemelane, piribedil, bromocriptine and idebenone
- transcranial magnetic stimulation – where an electromagnet placed on the scalp is stimulated for a short time using an electric current to stimulate parts of the brain affected by aphasia
Although some studies have suggested these treatments may benefit some people with aphasia, further research is necessary. You can search the database of clinical trials for aphasia to find trials that are studying these treatments.
The challenges of living with aphasia can sometimes cause further problems.
The challenges of living with aphasia can sometimes cause further problems.
Catastrophic reactions
Many people with aphasia experience episodes of what is sometimes called a catastrophic reaction. This is where a person suddenly experiences overwhelming feelings of frustration, anger, depression or a general feeling that they cannot cope with their immediate situation.
Signs of a catastrophic reaction include:
- anxiety
- aggression
- crying or laughing uncontrollably
- screaming
- stubbornness
A catastrophic reaction is often triggered when a person with aphasia becomes acutely aware of their communication difficulties. Therefore, it commonly occurs at the start of a course of speech and language therapy.
If someone in your care experiences a catastrophic reaction, you should remain as calm as possible and try to reassure them these feelings will pass and everything will be alright.
Because losing the ability to communicate can be a devastating experience, depression is a common complication of aphasia.
In addition, many conditions associated with aphasia, such as stroke or Alzheimer's disease, may change the chemistry of a person's brain, making them more vulnerable to depression.
Research suggests as many as eight out of 10 people with aphasia will experience at least one episode of depression.
Due to obvious communication problems, it may be difficult for someone with aphasia to let others know they are feeling depressed. Possible signs that a person with aphasia may be feeling depressed include:
- lack of energy
- little interest or enthusiasm in speech and language therapy
- lack of appetite
- weight loss
- withdrawing from social contact with others
- insomnia
If you are concerned someone you know with aphasia may be depressed, if possible, encourage them to communicate how they feel and whether they think they may benefit from treatment for depression. You should also make your concerns known to a member of their care team.
The types of anti-depressant known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) have proved to be moderately effective in treating depression in people with aphasia.
As stroke is one of the main risk factors for developing aphasia, taking steps to prevent a stroke will in turn help reduce the risk of aphasia
There is no guaranteed method of preventing aphasia. However, there is some general lifestyle advice that can reduce your risk of developing conditions that are associated with aphasia, such as Alzheimer's disease (or other forms of dementia) or stroke.
For example, you should:
- stop smoking (if you smoke)
- avoid drinking large amounts of alcohol
- eat a healthy, balanced diet that includes at least five portions of fruit and vegetables every day
- use a combination of exercise and a calorie controlled diet to achieve a healthy weight, which is particularly important if you are overweight or obese
- exercise for at least 30 minutes each day because this will improve both your physical and mental health
- stay mentally active, for example, by reading, writing or taking an adult education course
Below is a list of topics that provide more detailed information and advice about the conditions that are associated with aphasia.
- Alzheimer's disease - prevention
- Dementia - prevention
- Healthy eating
- Lose weight
- Quitting smoking
- Stroke - prevention

hi, i was wondering if anyone here has the Gonzalez Tortilla Machine. or if anyone has seen it while its working. I have a question about the way it works. How does the masa come through to the front of the machine? i guess what i want to know is how the masa is brought down, are both pillars spining or just one of them ? if any can help, it would be awesome. I saw a video of it working but i still dont know how it works, its for a school project that im working on.

Now B. Kamins, the doctor who believes a compound from maple trees is the fountain of youth, has a product designed to revitalize aging eyelashes. The claims are carefully worded so that they don't actually state that your lashes will become longer, thicker, or darker (thus avoiding the mess Jan Marini found herself in for not disclosing she was using a glaucoma drug off-label in her now-defunct eyelash growth product). Instead, the marketing slant emphasizes boosting micro-circulation for lashes that are conditioned and protected, both of which are cosmetic claims you can make for any product. For example, a moisturizer could claim to protect dry skin from moisture loss, and that claim wouldn't be deceitful.
There are several plant extracts, flavonoids, and amino acids in this product, including ingredients such as ginseng that may stimulate circulation, but none of these substances has ever been shown to make lashes stronger or to cause lost lashes to re-grow. The tripeptide that's included has no documented evidence that it does anything reliable for skin, let alone for eyelashes. Please see the introductory summary for B. Kamins for details about sugar maple (Acer saccharum); it won't help enhance eyelashes either. All in all, this is an absurdly expensive gimmicky product jumping on the promise of longer lashes via some miracle ingredients. The only thing this product can fortify is the fact that you can make women waste money on misleading claims.
An advanced eyelash conditioner that contains a powerful revitalizing complex which gets right to the root of the problem of lash loss caused by follicle aging. This treatment is enriched with peptide growth substances, natural plant extracts and multi-vitamins, which help to boost micro-circulation at the hair follicles, as well as condition and protect delicate lashes. Also ideal for thinning brows. Results: lashes are strengthened to resist environmental damage which can cause loss and breakage, and are fortified to appear fuller, longer and more youthful-looking, even without makeup.

Formerly sold with the targeted tagline "Baby Boomer Skin Care," B. Kamins is now known as The Gentle Cosmeceutical. The new presentation is designed to communicate the impression that their products provide significant benefits without being harsh, while also appealing to a wider demographic (not just baby boomers) concerned with aging skin. Considering that the definition of cosmeceutical (a term the FDA does not regulate) is "a cosmetic that has or is purported to have medicinal properties," B. Kamins is stretching things a bit, because most of the products in this line are nothing more than standard, often overpriced cosmetics.
B. Kamins is Ben Kaminsky, a Canadian cosmetics chemist. While on a winter fishing trip in Northern Canada, he observed that certain Canadian maple trees (Acer saccharum) could survive and thrive in spite of being rooted in a cold, unforgiving climate. After 30 years of research, Kamins developed a trademarked method of extracting and purifying a biological compound from these maple trees. The result of this extraction is Bio-Maple™ Compound, and every product in his line contains this ingredient.
The company claims Bio-Maple™ Compound not only moisturizes skin and improves its smoothness but also enhances skin-cell turnover, while diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The natural sugars, which help bind moisture to skin, and antioxidant components that occur in maple likely have benefit for skin, but there is no substantiated research proving the Bio-Maple™ Compound is better than countless other antioxidants. Further, you'd think after 30 years of research Kamins would have published or had at least one of his studies peer-reviewed for validation—but he didn't.
The practice of extracting a substance from a plant (be it root, flower, or tree) is often detailed and laborious, not to mention subject to climate and soil conditions. But it must be stressed that the factors that enable plants to thrive in sunlight and the elements while our skin and body functions can't take such abuse for very long are now the essence of antioxidant research. We still don't know which antioxidant is the most effective one. Moreover, what many researchers believe is true is that a cocktail of antioxidants, each with varying functions, may prove most beneficial for skin. Ongoing research continues to back up the connection between topically applied antioxidants and improvements in the creation of healthier skin that has a better ability to defend itself from the elements. Although the role of antioxidants in skin care is exciting and evolving, one major element Kamins' theory ignores is the fact that the biological processes of humans and plants are completely different. And if sugar maple (that's the garden name for the Acer saccharum tree) has such tremendous benefit as an antioxidant that it deserves standing on its own in skin-care products, only B. Kamins seems to know about it.
In contrast to the last time we reviewed this line, we are pleased to report that Kamins' has done away with all of his inferior sunscreens. None of them now lack sufficient UVA protection, and all are rated SPF 15 or greater, and that's good news.
You may have heard that this is a good line to shop if you have rosacea. However, the Kamins products meant to address this skin disorder fall short on most counts, either by containing irritants or using other ingredients that are not ideal for calming the symptoms of rosacea.

Party on Deck 7 with the Cool Kids!!
"We're so glad to see you all, shake the rafters fill the hall! Hoop dee doin' it with all our might! Hoop dee doin it, hoop dee doin it, hoop dee doin it tonight. Ya Hoo!"- Hoop Dee Doo Revue!
You could tern the pavilion into a spots themed pavilion that focuses on physical activities and the importance of excessive. Also you could showcase sports from around the world and have space age futuristic sports using virtual reality and new technologies.
Or you could tern it into a pavilion which is centered around eco friendly and green technology. It could display exhibits with eco friendly car ideas, ways of preserving the oceans, ways of using space to help preserve our planet, and other ways of producing energy that is clean and reliable. It could be a pavilion that brings all of the Futureworld Epcot together and show how these technologies can help preserve our fragile earth.

Great retrospective on "Wonders of Life", Lou.
You need to check out "Fantastic Voyage" the real inspiration for "Body Wars."
Also, the "Body Wars" edit that you mentioned wasn't done because of any objectionable material or running length. The edit was done in the section of the ride that was isolated as causing the most "protein spills."
After a couple of years of dealing with full motion platforms in Star Tours and Body Wars, one of the reasons that was pined down as what made people feel more "urpy" on Body Wars was the lack of an horizon line. The original Star Tours had multiple cues to the audience about which way was up, but Body Wars, not so much. The not too subtle edit in Body Wars addressed the worst area of the ride that was causing supposedly the worst problems.
This nugget was told to me by a former Imagineer who was a show designer on EPCOT from '82-'94.

Canada | First among soccer nations
Posted By John Turnbull On 7 November 2007 @ 21:32 In Arts,Canada,History | 1 Comment
Vancouver, British Columbia | As usual, David Beckham's North American barnstorming circuit—with a stop tonight at BC Place Stadium—to us raises more interest in pre-existing soccer traditions than in the soccer actually being played (see Jan 22 [3]).
True, the exhibition at 1900 PST between LA Galaxy and Vancouver Whitecaps [4], of the United Soccer Leagues' first division, poses an important fitness test for Beckham in advance of England's final Euro 2008 qualifier, versus Croatia, on Nov 21. For Vancouver, the side evaluates new players and demonstrates the economic potential and native appeal of a sport that sometimes appears subsumed by Canadian rules football, the country's gridiron variant, and ice hockey. Some 42,000 tickets have been sold for the game under the air-supported dome that the British Columbia Lions [5] of the Canadian Football League call home.
The Whitecaps, birthed in the North American Soccer League in 1974, have engendered devotion and claimed the city's first major North American title by winning the 1979 Soccer Bowl [6]. An estimated 100,000 paraded on Robson Street downtown.
Former NASL president Clive Toye, in his memoir A Kick in the Grass [7] (St. Johann, 2006), refers to the "maelstrom of Vancouver" when writing about the hijinks during the three-game league quarterfinals with Toronto, in 1983. Whitecaps goalkeeper Tino Lettieri favored a stuffed toy parrot as mascot, which he placed at the back of his net. Toye, president of the Toronto Blizzard at the time, hired men to place a "parrot burial kit" by Lettieri's goal and tried to relax his team by screening Monty Python's dead-parrot sketch in the changing room before the final match. Toye calls it "the team talk to end all team talks."
Toye tried to play the animus between eastern and western Canada to his advantage, but both Ontario and British Columbia can claim distinctive soccer cultures. Toronto FC, despite a Major League Soccer–record 824 minutes without a goal, boasted the league's most fervent supporters in its inaugural season. Contacts in Vancouver write about the frat-house atmosphere during World Cups, when the city's many ethnicities—a municipal phone line provides information in English, Chinese, Punjabi, Spanish and Vietnamese—hang flags from balconies and help create a carnival spirit. The city maintains realistic expectation for an MLS expansion team in the near future, if Whitecaps officials can negotiate space for and build a new stadium.
The Canadian men's team itself has participated in the World Cup once, in 1986, having developed a generation of players through the NASL before the league folded in 1984. In the finals in Mexico, Canada went scoreless in three losses to France, Hungary and the Soviet Union.
As they did in parts of Africa and Latin America, British miners established football in British Columbia three decades after the province joined the Confederation of Canada in 1871. The sport helped unite mining communities such as Nanaimo, Cumberland and Ladysmith on Vancouver Island.
But ball games had indigenous roots in the northern tier, as they did in Mesoamerica. Mark Nuttall, a University of Alberta anthropologist, has detailed European explorers' and researchers' intersections with football-playing Inuit. "In The Central Eskimo," Nuttall writes, "Franz Boas [9] described ball games (and recorded songs about ball games, including football) played by the Inuit of southern Baffin Island in the Eastern Canadian Arctic in the 1880s." The ball, according to Boas, consisted of moss-stuffed sealskin. Boas goes on to describe a juggling game, seemingly a variant of the Inuit game of akraurak or aqijut, played on Ulukhaktok, also known as Holman Island, in the Northwest Territories.
According to Kendall Blanchard in The Anthropology of Sport: An Introduction (Bergin Garvey/Greenwood, 1995), akraurak is contested between goals that are "markings in the snow at unspecified distances from each other. Teams kick the ball up and down the field, the object being to drive it across the goal line of an opponent. The game is played predominantly in the spring and summer months, and everyone, regardless of sex or age, may participate" (150).
As Nuttall also writes, Inuit from Greenland and across the Arctic see in aurora borealis, the northern lights, the souls of ancestors. They call these heavenly apparitions arsarnerit, or "the football players."
Among First Nations, who are distinct from Inuit and another Canadian indigeneous group, the Métis [10], it is harder to identify a precursor to modern football. Traditions of leisure and games, however, form part of the cyclical life pattern characteristic of aboriginal culture. Recurring competitions such as the Arctic Games [11] and North American Indigenous Games [12] feature traditional sports as well as soccer. Started in 1990, the latter includes more than 9,000 participants in sport and cultural events.
A report from the Bahá'í World News Service on a soccer league of tribal communities on Vancouver Island contains the tantalizing historical nugget that such games might have been a means of subverting the Canadian government's ban on potlatch in western provinces. The potlatch [14] consisted of games, ceremonies and feasts that served to order intra- and inter-tribal relations and to mark rites of passage, but missionaries' alarming reports about the "demonic" practices helped lead to the restrictions that endured until 1951. Another characteristic feature of western First Nations' cultural practice—the totem pole—typically is erected during potlatch.
"The game of soccer is an institution in many of the native communities," said Sonny Voyageur during the 2006 Musgamagw Cup, a First Nations–Bahá'í competition ("First Nations and Baha'i Youth Bond through Soccer [15]," 19 Sept 06). He adds that tribes early in the 20th century employed soccer—perhaps having gained knowledge of the rules via expatriate Europeans—as a way to congregate in the face of laws against traditional ceremonies.
Sonny Voyageur's brother Pudlidi (Ivan Voyageur) says in e-mail correspondence that potlatches generally coincided with sporting contests at Alert Bay in the summers of his youth. But he could not confirm that soccer served as a long-standing tool of resistance. Similarly, Colin Jose, historian for the Canadian Soccer Hall of Fame and Museum [16], said in a conversation Nov 6 that while First Nations communities certainly played soccer early on, "apart from that we know very little."
Generalizing about First Nations practice, of course, is perilous business. More than 600 First Nations governments exist in Canada, or a total of 756,700 people, according to the Assembly of First Nations [17]. In British Columbia alone there are 198, with more than 30 native languages spoken. In what has been called the most complicated treaty negotiation in Canada's history, aboriginal land rights and title still are being adjudicated with many native bands (see Justine Hunter, "Land-Claims Decision Could Rock Treaty Process [18]," Globe and Mail, Nov 5). And while four First Nations—Lil'wat, Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh—have signed on as hosting partners [19] of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, seeing the Games as an opportunity for brand building, others view the event "as a threat to dwindling resources and the beginning of the end for their traditional way of life" (Travis Lupick, "First Nations Divided Over 2010 Olympic Games [20]," The Georgia Straight, Nov 1).
Still, write Donald Reid and Sue Welke, aboriginal people "have had a great deal of difficulty gaining and holding the attention of the Canadian people." If not ignored, native communities seem always vulnerable to misreading wherever interlopers have invaded and crushed indigenous practice. The value that native cultures give to the spoken word, for example—sometimes expressing itself as a "pensive delay" before speech—"has often been misinterpreted by Euro-Americans as an act of withdrawing. It has also created a stereotypical portrayal of Native Americans as silent and stoic people," writes Grace Girard.
In the sphere of leisure, if First Nations people are seen to abandon traditional sports for ice hockey or soccer, for instance, they often are branded as cultural assimilators. Curiously, First Nations customs related to potlatch and recreation have historically been appropriated by whites to claim a more authentic version of reality. Native sports such as lacrosse and snowshoeing were adopted, writes Gillian Poulter, to build an idea of Canadian distinctiveness.
Historian Sharon Wall and others have documented the long-standing practice of "playing Indian" at summer camp. Such youth retreats in Ontario and elsewhere in Canada and the United States appropriated bogus aboriginal names and invented native ceremonies that said more about middle-class and upper-middle-class cultural aspirations than they did about authentic custom. Wall writes:
[A]s white campers played at being Indian, contemporary Native children were the target of aggressive campaigns aimed to rid them of their "Indian-ness." Did campers have any idea, one wonders, that as [camp] directors donned Native headdresses, state laws attempted to bar Aboriginal peoples from appearing publicly in traditional dress? Were they ever aware that as they enthusiastically participated in Indian rituals, Native bands in western provinces were prohibited from holding their own sundance or potlatch ceremonies? (539)
While the definitive account of the First Nations relationship to soccer has yet to be written, historian and author Jose has identified two prominent footballers with aboriginal roots: David Greyeyes [21] (1914–96) of the Cree Nation, who played and toured with the Saskatchewan All-Stars in matches against various English sides, and Terry Felix (Coast Salish), billed as the NASL's first player of native heritage when he signed for Vancouver in the early 1980s. Felix also played for the Canadian Olympic and national teams.
Certainly there have long been regional teams competing in Vancouver and British Columbia, and we do not know if these included First Nations participants. Commercial photographer Stuart Thomson (see the image at the top of this article) chronicled soccer games in the 1920s, and Thomson's images of barnstorming baseball teams continue to turn up—most recently, rare prints of the American Giants, a black team from Chicago that toured the West Coast 90 years ago (Tom Hawthorn, "A Storied Portrait of a Team Set Apart [22]," Globe and Mail, Oct 31).
Hawthorn writes that "Vancouver has a long history as a stop for travelling sports teams in search of an audience," although Richard Howes, editor of BC Soccer Web [23], writes that the Beckham visit would not feature in a list of "farcical historical examples" such as the touring baseball Bloomer Girls [24], who also featured cross-dressers.
Beckham himself has been the subject of gender-bending analysis in Britain, but the most incisive approach may come from Globe and Mail television critic and Guardian Sport Blog contributor John Doyle [25]. Often it takes an interpreter from the north, a witness to the excesses of the cultural colossus to the south, to provide a clear reading. For Doyle, "Beckham may be the worst possible face of soccer in the U.S." ("Even David Beckham Can't Sell Soccer in the States [26]," Nov 5).
Soccer acts as a cultural divide. On the one hand, interest in the game and support for its expansion signals a progressive attitude, a willingness to see the U.S. as part of the larger world, not an isolated place, smug in its status as a world power.
On the other hand, skepticism and even derision for soccer signals American traditionalism. It is a kind of signifier for Republican attitudes. That attitude amounts to hard-line beliefs that the United States is the strongest country in the world, and its sports—NFL football, major league baseball, NBA Basketball—are the best sports. They are manly games that require strength, skill and masculine fortitude.
Beckham, the metrosexual figure, the stylish man who embraces his own popularity with the gay community, is actually a divisive figure in American culture.
Again, Beckham continues to surprise. Plain-spoken and careful never to transgress, he nevertheless serves as a convenient figure for exegesis within the cultural settings through which he moves. "A great deal of meaning can be extrapolated from his stature," Doyle continues.
As testament to Beckham's popularity, B.C. Ferries had to add late trips [27] to its sailing schedule on match night. Ever a tempestuous and opinionated region, though, there were skeptics. "[W]hy do they suddenly care when there's a Beckham game?" reads one comment at the Victoria Times Colonist website. "Is somebody at BC Ferries getting a kickback, or are they palsy with Posh, or what?"

"Shame there wasn't any goals," Beckham said. "Hope they enjoyed it, with the streaker and other things."
