Vehicle Style: Seven-seat SUV
Price: $45,990 (plus on-roads)
Fuel Economy claimed: 7.3L/100km | tested: 12.5L/100km
Santa Fe, in Spanish, means "holy faith".
Faith in Hyundai's ability to build a decent SUV was in our minds when we decided to saddle up the Santa Fe for a soft beach-sand excursion.
But the Santa Fe isn't really marketed to beachgoers. Sure, it's for active types - those with a big family who want to go places - but isn't it really just a wagon with a bit of AWD versatility? After all, it's a seven-seat SUV with all-wheel-drive, a raised ride height and plenty of space.
But here at TMR, we like to push things. And if Hyundai is going to build an all-wheel-drive wagon, we want to find out how well "all wheels drive it".
Quality: The Santa Fe is without a doubt the best-built Hyundai of the moment.
There's nothing in the way of squeaks or rattles and the interior materials really appeal. Throughout, there's a good blend of textures and finishes across the car (although we found a mismatch in the leather in the front seats).
Comfort: Plenty of space means passengers in the first two rows will be happy on a long trips out to the local fishing spot. The third row is quite claustrophobic, but as a five-seater and occasional seven, the Santa Fe works well.
The leather seats are comfortable; electric adjustment for the driver, and equally comfortable for the passenger (who does without the electrics, but doesn't seem to suffer) with excellent lower back support.
Equipment: On test was the Elite model. It's stocked with all the mod-cons you'd want.
Beautiful, clear satnav, dual-zone climate control, second-row vents with third row air-con, self-dimming rear view mirror, reversing camera and parking sensors, electric park brake with auto hold, phone and media Bluetooth, rain-sensing wipers, auto headlights, cruise control and rear passenger privacy blinds – phew. It really is a well-kitted vehicle.
Storage: There's plenty of storage in here. Apart from the glovebox, there's a space under the dash, huge door pockets shaped for a water bottle, under-armrest storage and heaps of cupholders.
The boot is a helpful 516 litres with the third row folded with 1615 litres available when the second row is flipped forward.
With ground clearance at 185mm, and no low range, rock-climbing was out of the question. Most owners, afterall, would rarely venture past a dirt trail.
But sand, that's loosely at the edge of the Santa Fe's remit. So, how does it go when faced with loose beach sand?
That's what we wanted to find out. It would be a challenge of the all-wheel-drive system. As a front-driver (essentially), with power sent rearward when required, the Santa Fe would need to be quick in ascertaining slip before the front wheels tried to dig their way to the earth's core.
The AWD system of the last-gen Santa Fe was mediocre in this environment, and, even with the AWD lock engaged, it would overheat and revert back to FWD.
Heading to our "beach test", on the highway out of town the Santa Fe shone. Excellent handling for its size and shape, and a firm but comfortable ride.
Then, after turning off the highway onto a corrugated track to the coast, it was time to "air down".
Tyre pressures for the test were set at 15psi. Any lower and a tyre could roll off the rim. Any higher and there was a risk of getting stuck.
After an hour of negotiating rocks, bushes and tracks, we hit the dunes.
Driveability: There are two heroes in this car. One is the engine. The other is the all-wheel-drive system.
The 2.2-litre turbodiesel belies its size with reall robust outputs. With 145kW and 421Nm on tap, it's super-flexible and doesn't bog down when faced with the continuous resistance of sand.
Instead, it clicks unfussed from gear-to-gear through the six-speed auto.
In normal conditions, power is fed to the front wheels. But, when extra grip is needed, it then gets fed to the rear to share the load.
If faced with tough going, you can lock it in AWD.
This is what we did to ensure the rear wheels played their part in the sand. (And despite hammering the Santa Fe for hours on end, not once did the system overheat or cut out.)
Hyundai's Flex Steer system, however, is next to useless - there are three modes available but only one that works. In Comfort or Normal mode, it's too slack and doesn't feel connected to the wheels at all.
In Sport mode there's enough weight to satisfy, but this really should be the default setting for all situations.
To drive in these conditions, traction control and stability control have to be turned off (a two-step process) - you don't want the wheels to clamp during wheelspin.
If you forget, any forward progress you make will be reduced to naught as the wheel brakes and buries you.
We found that the best way to drive the Santa Fe in these conditions was to ease onto the throttle off the line and then build up speed and keep it up, especially in the really boggy sections.
Its performance was a real surprise. When climbing the steeper sections, it became just a matter of taking a decent run-up, keeping the foot buried and letting the momentum carry us over the crest (without getting stranded on the sills).
For a light duty off-roader, the Santa Fe tackled the rough stuff a lot better than we expected. And, rewarding our faith, not once did it bury us.
Refinement: A strength of the Santa Fe is its refinement. So quiet is it that one of our off-roading companions asked, "Is this the diesel?" Yes, it was running at the time.
Sure, you can hear the revs as you're gunning it, but it's never boomy or grating.
Suspension: Using MacPherson strut fronts and multi-link rear, the Santa Fe is conventional - but with on-road handling that is better than most.
Off the road it's perhaps firmer than necessary. It will find the bump stops quicker than a 'proper four-wheel-drive' when traversing ruts.
Braking: The hill-descent control works very well, though in the dunes a human foot is just as capable. Pedal feel is very good and braking is supplied by vented fronts and solid rear discs.
ANCAP rating: 5 Stars
Safety features: Seven airbags - driver & front passenger, front side airbags, side curtain airbags, and driver's knee; ABS with brake force distribution and brake assist, stability management with stability control and traction control.
Warranty: 5 years/unlimited km.
Service costs: Hyundai's capped price servicing limits the costs of each routine service. The first three services at 15,000km/12 month intervals are priced at $319 each for a total of $957.
Kia Sorento SLi diesel ($43,990) – With the same AWD system and engine as the Santa Fe, the Sorento is also a good buy. They're twins but look different, so it comes down to personal preference (see Sorento reviews)
Ford Territory TX ($43,240) – No match for the Santa Fe's off-road ability, the Territory is however more comfortable on the road. Its 2.7 litre diesel, though refined, is also pretty slow. (see Territory reviews)
Holden Captiva 7 LX ($43,490) The Captiva is left behind in all departments except space. The interior is cheap, the ride misjudged and the diesel is slower. Off-road it lacks the grunt that can pull the Santa Fe through (see Captiva reviews)
Note: all prices are Manufacturer's List Price and do not include dealer delivery or on-road costs.
Stuck? Not once. And neither did we have a nervous moment.
It was simple, really. But the confounded looks others gave us as we sailed past in the Santa Fe were proof that it was unexpected.
The final word should go to the guy who walked up to us after we stopped for a short break.
"That was just unbelievable. My brother just bought one of these and I told him not to bring it because he'd get stuck. Next time he can bring it – and he can pull me out."
On the very same section of beach a Patrol was struggling (with off-road tyres), a LandCruiser was only inching forward, a Rodeo had to be snatched out and a Wrangler was completely buried. That alone underlined our belief Hyundai has something a little special in the Santa Fe.
This is one really versatile and capable car. We wouldn't suggest you'd do what we did to it every day... but you can do it.

- Wow, impressive! And it does not use a DPF... even better!
- Motor is too small for towing, unable to pull 17" caravan (2000kg)
- The previous model towed 17 foot caravans around Australia with one couple saying their's went around 3 times without fault. There are caravanning forums full of people who use them without any drama if you care to check. The main issue is tow ball download limit with the new one.
The old model is rated at 150kg and the new one 100kg (same as Sorrento) which isn't enough. Kia are offering a heavy duty towpack on the Sorrento after criticism so I expect Hyundai will follow suit soon enough. The Sorrento one ups to 130kg.
- considering selling my piece of crap. current model 2012 sante fe. overheating once outside temp reaches 30 deg celcius unable to tow 16ft caravan grrrr paid nearly $50,000 unable to do what i was asured it could do by sales staff. only has 23,000ks on the clock. not happy whatsoever.hyundai told me its my problem. PLEASE DO NOT BUY NOT WORTH THE HASSLE. RADIATOR TO SMALL
- Liar. I've spoken to heaps of people who've said they towed vans around Australia with no problems. Maybe you are just one of those that can't look after your car.
- I picked mine up last week and am blown away to be honest. I've had a couple of other top spec SUVs and both were pretty good but this vehicle is simple awesome. I chose the mid spec elite in ocean blue.
Most of the reviews I read agreed with my belief that the midspec model had "everything you need and nothing you don't". The features list in the mid spec includes folding mirrors and leds in the door handles that lightup as you approach the car illuminating the ground along both sides of the vehicle. A classy touch.
On this current tank of diesel including around half of it being on the highway I am currently sitting on 9.0lts -100k,s on an engine with less than 900 kilometres on the clock. We took it for a good run on the weekend and it is simply a fantastic car. Pretty damned good for a heavy SUV with so much power when needed and it will improve as the engine loosens up.
Overtaking is totally effortless. Whilst the flex steer is very subtle I don't agree it is entirely useless. I found the sport setting great around town where directional feel is more important but use comfort on the highway where less adjustment on centre is required at higher speeds. Mostly a gim*** but not entirely.
I actually enjoy the steering but then I have had 4years to get used to it (electronic) in other cars. One day they will all have it.
I considered the Sorento but don't like the current styling of it ,particularly at the rear .The vertical front foglights look awkward too and I wonder why they didn't do them similar to the sportage? The santéfe looks fantastic and already I have had several comments. They have a winner!
My only issue is a Bluetooth fault that Hyundai are working on a software update for. The phone doesn't transfer all the numbers onto the touch screen. A minor quibble however.
- 1 likeHi all,
Like the Sorento, the Santa Fe also has an uprated towing kit available. See details below, direct from Hyundai Australia (verbatim).
Santa Fe has the option of a 'Load Assist Kit' (consists of two rear heavy duty springs) fitted which increases the maximum static ball load from 120kg to 150kg (maximum braked towing capacity remains the same: 2000kg for automatic and 2500kg for manual vehicles).
- Towbar, Towball & Trailer Wiring Harness: $772.50
- Load Assist Kit (Springs): $187.00
**Prices: inc gst ex fitment**
- Interesting. The Hyundai website states the towball limit is 100kg and there is nothing on their website to state the towball has been changed to 150kg - not even the Latest News section.
- 1 likeIndeed. We've confirmed the details with Hyundai Australia however, so a word with your dealer should get you hooked up (literally...)
- It's a relief to read such good reviews on the Hyundai Santa Fe. We ordered ours early December, 2012 from a large Hyundai dealer in Sydney, and we were informed yesterday we won't be receiving it until Mid March/early April. The delivery times are a real let down when it comes to buying a new car. We are hoping the wait is worth it!
- "On the very same section of beach a Patrol was struggling (with off-road tyres), a LandCruiser was only inching forward, a Rodeo had to be snatched out and a Wrangler was completely buried."
In my opinion your review is irresponsible by encouraging anyone who purchases these all wheel drive vehicles to drive off road without mentioning that they should receive proper training through 4WD course. I also find it unbelievable that the proper low range 4WD's you mention had a more difficult time. I have just got back from Fraser Island where I came across a Hyundai Santa Fe that was bogged in deep sand. The owner said they were running 16PSI in their tyres and that they had been bogged for the third time that day with three children in the car on a very hot day. In addition they had none of their own recovery gear with them as would have been taught in 4WD course.
- Shocked! Who'd of thought it could do that.
"On the very same section of beach a Patrol was struggling (with off-road tyres), a LandCruiser was only inching forward, a Rodeo had to be snatched out and a Wrangler was completely buried."
This seems weird, possibly not a fault of any of those vehicles as they are all faily amazing off road (wrangler and landCruiser)I would lay the blame on the drivers of those vehicles having no idea how to drive in the dunes.
- Shocked - not
Most soft roaders with a locking diff can go along way off road if driven carefully.
Most seem to forget that many soft roaders have the advantage of being light weight (compared to the proper 4wds) with fairly wide rubber that combined, reduces the footprint pressure.
A driver that knows how to drive off road and the capability of their car also helps.
Pity about the ground clearance - this is probably its biggest weakness for off road work.
- Hey Guys,
Just ordered the Santa Fe Hylander with mats, tow bar, nudge bar, side steps, roof rack and front sensors for $55k drive away...Any thoughts?
- We got out Santa Fe Elite in November and we are very happy with it. In December we did a trip from Sydney to Brisbane on one tank of diesel! We got 7.2L per 100km on the trip up and back. Recommend that it is worth waiting for!
- Hey,
You said the Territory is no match off road, I had a quick look at your Territory reviews but it seems you haven't done an actual off road test only on road, so how can you say it is no match??
- Hi Barra,
We're often afforded the opportunity to take various models for a spin - sometimes long enough to get an accurate idea of their capabilities, but not long enough to justify a published review. We've had the Territory off the tarmac long enough to make a call on it against the Santa Fe.
Will we lock in another tester and publish a Territory off-road review? Possibly. You'll just have to wait and see...
- Cool Mike,
Only asking because I've seen a few Territories off road up the beach and they don't seem to have an issue (not that I would risk doing such a thing) Would love to see an off road review Thanks for the reply.
- Hi Mike,
Firstly ok review, however I too would like to see a similar review with the latest SZ AWD Territory.
Unlike the previous generation Territory that has a fixed 38/62 front/rear AWD system, the new SZ Territory AWD is an Active (ECU based) Borg Warner system. Understanding it doesn't have a 50/50 lock it would still be quite capable.
There was no mention of the new SZ Territory AWD system in any of your Ford Territory reviews, yet the new Hyundai AWD system was covered in depth in the Santa Fe review.
Have you had the new SZ Territory off the Tarmac to make a proper call?
Also there is no mention in the Santa Fe review about he ground clearance being lower than the previous generation (now 185mm, previously 200mm). This is approaching the Ford Territory clearance which is only 1cm lower at (175cm).
Would be great to see your assumption substantiated with a review that Territory is no match.
- I bought the Active, it is even better on the beach because of the 17s and higher profile tyres. This car has averaged 8.7 L per hundred around Perth.
It's not perfect, the Active has no dash light dimmer, 1st car I've ever owned that didn't have one.
The engine torque and performance is awesome.
Hyundai have done a brilliant job, it is a shame the car didn't come with the upgraded rear springs from the start for Australia, Aussies use SUVs for towing all the time.
- for some one who can live without the extra luxury of elite, highlander interior spec. i think active diesel is a very good buy, consider the mechanical for all three model are identical. and it is around $5k+ cheaper to buy. but if i have $$$$ i would like to get elite or highlander too!!!
- We have had our Elite since December. Our average fuel usage is 7.1 mixed highway and town. Just reset the trip and did a hilly highway run of 150km through 3 towns and averaged 5.8l/100km. I don't think any AWD this size would match that with the amount of grunt this car has. It is a very quick car with loads of torque and a very good auto. The steering is terrible compared to the last one which we also owned. That is my main complaint. Everything else is great and no DPF and high crash rating makes this the best medium awd bar none.
- Mike, looking at buying elite after recent rd test, but have doubts about braking system. Will the elite hav similar issues Hyundai has been experiencing with the ix35, as there's lots of bad comments from owners and seems Hyundai not coving this under warranty or
- I looked very briefly at this vehicle when I went to trade my 100 series Cruiser in. While I liked the look of it, the lack of decent towing spec's took it off of my list. So it was a BT 50 dual cab for me. However I agree about the looks, features of it a very good effort. I also agree about the flex steer as I had electric power steer on the I30 diesel that I traded in at the same time on a Honda.
- I have had a highlander as my company drive for the last 6 months and 15000 km.
Due for its service but the only thing to discuss as a warranty issue is the loss of a cover the headlight washers!
It follows 2 Toyota klugers. The Hyundai is better in every way except for space. 75 mm shorter in the wheel base shows in the middle row leg room. Otherwise the hyundai is a far better drive, as well finished and granda features at kxs price.
It's a car I could be happy to call my own and the last time I thought that was when I had a last gen Subaru outback premium.....
Please mr Hyundai can we have the longer wheelbase model they sell in the states?
- One of the downsides with this vehicle seems to be the length of time it takes to get hold of one. I ordered mine 2 months ago and the dealer still has no idea when it will arrive. They say Hyundai haven't even started building it let alone shipping it to Australia. Hyundai customer service don't even both returning your emails. Not having a car at all is definitely not helping my customer satisfaction especially when I was promised the car in August.
- I'm surprised the dealer promised you it was arriving in August. Every dealer I went to (Sydney) told me 3-4 months. When I finally did a deal on a Highlander with one of the dealers they said they said up to 6 months. The date on my contract is 27 Dec 2013. I Ordered in June. A looooong wait.
- Buyer beware
I bought my Highlander two months ago and found the paint finish doesn't match the price. I want everyone to stop at predelivery and have a look. The dealer in springwood delivered it in the shade and now I know why. If you look in the sun past the glare of the new car you might find some unexpected flaws. The main areas to look are at the top of the doors where the car rolls around to the roof. More peel then a juice factory. One of my doors has a paint crease where there is no crease in metal. The rear bumper has SPEC of undercoat showing. I feel the ECO button is only connected to the light on the dash when test driving engage it and watch revs Nil movement. I believe the engine revs at 2000 when it would do the same job at 1200.Any one over 185cm will find all the way down on the driver's seat not quite enough.
Now the Good
This is truly a luxury car and now to hear it is this good off road it just keeps surprising me.

- i purchased a 2012 santa fe and it sufferd from overheating when towing a 16ft caravan up hill on the hwy. the van only weighed 1350 kgs the problem was solved with no help or advice from hyundai. they acted dumb. forked out aprox $500 and had auto trans oil cooler fitted. now no matter how big the hill is or how hard you flog it the temp gauge dont move from normal. hope this is of some use

- Looking at buying a 2014 Santa Fe elite diesel just wondering what type of drive away deals people have negotiated so I've got a starting point. Cheers
- Hey Damo
I got the latest model Santa Fe Elite December MY2013 diesel in Qld for driveway $47000 including electronic rust protection, carpet mats and luggage tray. Hope this helps.
- 2012 santefe overheating problem with towing 16ft caravan uphill has returned with the rising summer temperatures. oil cooler didnt fix problem as previously stated. but certainly wouldnt hurt to have one fitted anyway. once outside temp reaches 30deg celcius towing is risky as engine can and will shut down in the most dangerous situation.still trying to get hyundai to fix the problem under warranty. (radiator to small to do the job ?)
- we bought the elite model in Feb 14, and we just drove from Canberra to the Sunshine coast and back averaged 6.0 litres per 100 Kms, We are a family of four and had a pod fitted also. We could not fault it for ride and comfort and smoothness of the 6 speed gearbox.
- High quality car which has features and performance that surpass cars that are $20K+ more.
have the '13 elite mode, done about 10,000 lots of city driving with the getaway every few months- getting 8.1L/100km
often tow a jayco swan that weighs about 1300kg - even then it only averages about 9.8l/100km which is amazing!
ground clearance is prob the only slightly negative thing i could say, although we don't do any full on off roading anyway - another 40mm or so would be good, but extremely minor thing.
feels like you've purchased a luxury vehicle without the luxury vehicle tax! Yeeeow!
- Ive had my 2012 Elite since Jan 13, just ticked over 60,000k. So far running great and still averaging 7.2lt. Tyres are due replacement but recent service showed brake pads were fine and rotors are still good. Did a 5000km trip last year from bundy to canberra and return on an avg of 6lts/100k. One off road adventure near mt perry and it did ok, but not pushed hard or through difficult terrain (if it were a work car would have been pushed a little harder lol!)
The leather on the steering wheel is becoming a little tacky however and the drivers seat is showing signs of wear.
- My family and i are planning some long caravan trips and was planning on selling our 2012 Sante fe highlander to buy something to pull a caravan like a Prado. Don't know what caravan yet but the Sante Fe's don't seem to be holding their value second hand and I will lose quite a lot of dosh. This has made me think about using it to tow a caravan. I have read the comments posted on this and wondered if anyone else has some advice on this.

Awesome….guess the crowd was asleep.
Yeah a lack of pop for the music, yet complete bows in the front row and a pop for the snake, all after a big main event.
This of course also coming from the mind of the feeble mind of someone that no doubt doesn't get the reaction of millions on social media means more than the thousand or so at the live show.
And no that doesn't equate to the small message boards out there, normal people don't use those, they don't give you an honest reaction like normal sites like facebook and twitter do.

I wasn't joking when i said he was getting the andre Berto treatment (also a haymon fighter). Berto fought a good 10 easy fights straight on hbo.
That entrance by Broner was embarrassing. He tries to hard.

Props to Rees. He got stopped but at least he came to fight unlike Broner's last 3 opponents who were all scared of him.

Foster, Viola French, and Hollywood costume designer Marilyn Sotto, this dazzling collection of fashion sketches provides everyone from the novice artist to the closet fashion designer tips and inspiration for creating timeless looks, using a variety of media. You'll learn about the quintessential fashion figure, high-fashion and casual poses, and which mediums best represent popular period textiles.

Special Needs Care for Adult Children: Care Options
Finding the right type of caregiver for your adult child
Various options exist depending on the child's level of need and the family situation. Some adults with special needs may be able to live independently, others may require increased support.
Care Options Available
- Family members. Many adult children live at home with family members as their primary care providers. According to one web source, 76% of individuals with developmental disabilities live at home. In a quarter of these situations, the average age of the adult child was 38; caregivers were age 60 or older.
- Home health aides or personal care attendants. Depending on the child's level of need, these providers come into the home to help family members in a variety of ways. In addition to providing respite to family members and being a companion to the adult child, home aides assist with duties requiring more physical strength or perform specific assignments such as bathing and dressing.
- Community-based homes and supported living arrangements. Adults living in group homes enjoy some independence, but receive support as necessary depending on their needs. Caregivers living or working at these homes provide a range of services, from supervision to help with medication to advice on getting to work and dressing appropriately.
- Independent living arrangements. Depending on their situation, some adults may be able to live independently with some form of additional support. For example, they may need someone to help them for a few hours a day with activities of daily living, transportation, meals, etc.
- Day programs. Once they are no longer attending school, adults can benefit from day programs appropriate for their level of ability. Providing structure to the day through a variety of educational services, these programs help adults work on life skills while offering social opportunities.
- Long-term care facilities. Some adult children with special needs require extensive support around the clock.� In cases such as this, parents may feel their child's needs are best served in a long-term, live-in, care facility.
- Assistive technology. There's a wealth of assistive technology, from software to sports gear, which may help your adult child be more independent. Your child's physician can help steer you in the right direction.�
Needs Change Over Time
One of the main challenges parents of adult children with special needs face is that of their own age and health. It's not uncommon for parents to care for their adult children well into their 70's, even into their 80's. The caregiving picture may change dramatically with a parent's illness.�
As parents age, they may be the ones in need of senior care, while their adult child with special needs continues to require the support of caregivers.� Planning ahead and evaluating caregiving options prior to a crisis can alleviate some of the stress that is inevitable when the balance of care shifts within a family.
Deborah Elbaum, M.D. lives in Massachusetts and has three children.
|Next: Cost of Care »
We are considering bringing our son home as he has lived in a center, a group home and waiver home and none are set up for him to be successful. Even the day programs lack staff with appropriate training. I have seen instances in Michigan where parents are buying homes and joining other families. I would like to look into this.
Does anyone else find it ....frustrating that the requirement for a worker with our special needs children/adults is a high school degree.? As a TA in the schools, I was required to have an Assoc. degree, 60 college credits or take a state exam. Why do our children deserve less?
Blessing to us all.
I feel trapped and emotionally drained. The thought of spending the rest of my life taking care of my son is depressing. I grew up in a large family and had to protect my siblings from my abusive mother. Now I have to spend the rest of my life taking care of my son.
Anyway, thank you for listening.
We are in our late 50's with some health issues. It gets harder & harder to care for him. We don't know what we are going to do. He goes to the ARC day program. We live in MA. Our 4 other children have their own lives although one daughter helps out when she can. As you all know quality one on one care is so very expensive.
My husband & I thought if we could be creative and find a few other parents with similar needs as ours that we could by a home and the funding would come from ss & other government helps like section 8. Then we could hire who we want and be involved with the people that would care for them. It is much more affordable when you have a few people working together.
Well that's my thoughts for the day.
Take care everyone.
We just moved to Washington State. And the same thing is happening here. We are worried about her future. It is a lonely life, not too many people want to include us in their lives.
We moved from California, that state has The Regional Center. And IHSS. Very helpful for services. But no help for psychiatric problems.
Any help is appreciated. We are in Louisiana.
But even the staff saw the change in him. Stubbrin, not happy, not responding to commands such as brush your teeth (same at home)
Reading all your stories makes me think l don't have it so bad. Because the little town that I live in has help for me. (VA) That I may reach out to.
My heart goes out to those that can NOT find help. (Try Social Service)
I have no children of my own no husband no life of my own. (69) But this is God's plan
for me. I pray a lot.
For people with no help go state or city or town. Help is out there.

My daughter has Down Syndrome. She is 22, non-verbal, lower functioning. The year before she graduated I did all the legwork in visiting every adult day care in the area hoping that when she graduated in 2014 she could transition easily. It is now October 2014 and I am still waiting. And the word is that I could be waiting months, or it could be tomorrow ( which I doubt).
She is so bored she began to eat her books. I had to take them all away from her. She needs to be with her peers and have some stimulation.
This should not be. We should have services immediately upon graduation and all should be helped that need it.
I hope we can create a better world soon.
Brandy, do you have a supports caseworker ?
My son is 32 total care & severe profound M.R.
He does have a "Waver Grant" that pays for services such as Dayprogram & help in our home.
I would be intestested in hearing more from each of you if you'd like to also
Thank you
I am a mother of two wonderful young men. My older son is 28 yrs. old. He has special needs and lives at home. Although he
is physically higher functioning (has epilepsy, mild CP) his developmental delay is significant and isolates us both tremendously.
My heart breaks for him every day to see him so lonely -- for his peers. That seems to be the hardest part. He does not fit in anywhere. He has neurological impairment, but no label such as Autism or Down Syndrome etc.
Even at a young age, about 4-5yrs, my son has been painfully aware of his learning disability. Partly due to speech impairment which often brought on cruel taunts by children who did not understand. He would come to me in tears saying "they all make fun of me, I wish I don't have learning disability". It took a lot for me to not cry too and to give that pep talk we now know would been one of thousands. Did any of us know back then that it actually gets harder for these precious souls? So unfair...

Seattle police dress up as 49ers fans to sting aggressive Seahawks
*The NewsSource 16 broadcast at 6:30pm is preempted by the Seahawks vs. 49ers game at 5:30pm
Seattle police officers are hoping to crack down on aggressive Seahawk fans at Sunday's game by going under cover and dressing up in San Francisco 49ers gear.
"The goal here is to get people to be on their best behavior... we want everyone to feel safe," Seattle Police Sergeant Sean Whitcomb said.
They say that the move is in response to a rising number of fan fights that start at NFL games. Those ejected from the game will have to take a 4-hour fan behavior class at their own expense before being allowed back in the stadium.

As part of my degree I am conducting a research project and I will be carrying this out in different primary schools that use game consoles and video games in their classrooms. I am looking for schools that use game consoles and would be willing to help with my research. I will be giving questionnaires out to girls in key stage two.
Let me remind you of my research question from a previous post…
'Do game consoles have a positive impact on girls' learning and motivation?'
I have been doing lots of reading around the use of game consoles and video games in the classroom and how children are learning and becoming motivated from these. I have watched some fantastic talks, journals and projects that have inspired me to want to know more. I will update my blog when my literature reviews starts to come together.
However, until then if anyone would like to take part in my research please leave a comment or contact me via twitter: @lmkitching and let me know.
Thank you!

Dinos come to life at the Lane Events Center
EUGENE, Ore. -- The Jurassic Quest exhibit took over the Lane Events Center this weekend, bringing dinosaurs to life.
From dozens of detailed and lifelike dinosaurs to a room filled with hands-on exhibits, organizers say the event is a great way for kids to absorb information.
"A lot of museums, you walk through and it's very one dimensional," said Danielle Arnold, a Jurassic Quest representative. "(Here) the kids can play in sand and dig for bones and learn … we make it hands on."
Some activities include digging for fossils, bounce houses, face painting, dino rides and a craft station.
Ticket prices vary depending on age:
$13 Kids ages 2-12
$22 VIP Kids ages 2-12
$18 Ages 13-64

Because of this constitutional convention movement, some have asked, "I thought the states were to rein in the federal government?" Yes, they should have been, but when you look at it, the states have become a major consumer of federal funding.
Federal funds make up almost 35 percent of the states' annual budget. The states don't want to rein in the feds — they don't want to lose their federal funding. This is why the American people are being squeezed from both sides, federal and state, to pay taxes.
This is why the American middle class is shrinking and both federal and state governments are forever getting larger.
As Alexander Hamilton stated in the Federalist No 85, respecting the ratification of amendments, "that we may safely reply on the disposition of the state legislatures to erect barriers against the encroachments of the national authority." But today, our state legislatures don't protect us from federal encroachments because we have been so dumbed down by progressive education that we no longer understand the proper role of government.
We no longer have statesmen in the halls of government.

The experiences of patients and their families of visiting whilst in an intensive care unit – A hermeneutic interview study

The aim of this study was to interpret and understand the meanings of the lived experiences of visiting of patients in an ICU and their families. Method
The research design was hermeneutic, based on interviews. This study includes 12 interviews with seven patients and five relatives who had been in an ICU. The interview text was interpreted in a Gadamerian manner as different plays with actors and plots. Findings
Patients' narratives could be divided into two parts; recall of real life and unreal life experiences, the unreal being more common. Relatives' narratives are described as being on stage and being backstage, i.e. in the room with the patient and outside it. Conclusion
The final interpretation elucidated the experience of visiting as the sudden shift between being present in real life vs. being present in the real life of unreality. It was a process whereby the patient and the family build a new understanding of life that creates a new form of interplay within the...

Like Ron Paul
Free Johnson
November 11, 2010
There are certain shibboleths in presidential politics that even the most forthright candidates feel obliged to repeat, certain topics they feel compelled to avoid. Yet talk to former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson, the unorthodox 2012 GOP hopeful, and those rules go out the window. Ask about church, and he says he doesn't go. "Do you believe in Jesus?" I ask. "I believe he lived," he replies with a smile. Ask about shifts in position, and he owns up to one. "I changed my mind on the death penalty," he tells me.

This glitch allows for more goods to arrive with a ship than there were when loading the ship. It requires the player to have the ability to go to the Bayou at will. (1) Load a ship completely with a good, (2) Send the ship off to another port, (3) Exit the trading screen, (4) Leave the city and travel to the Bayou, (5) Return to the City once arriving in the Bayou, (6) Return to the trading screen, (7) All ships that were sent are in port regardless of how much time has passed, (8) Select a ship to trade, (9) Select Sell Goods, (10) Three sets of the same goods should be available for sale, and each set has the ship's maximum load meaning the ship is currently carrying 3x its maximum load and 200% more than what it left port with. You can do this with any number of ships.

There is increasing demand for basic scientists who are prepared to conduct interdisciplinary research that translates findings in the laboratory to the clinical and population-based settings, and vice-versa. The goal of this concurrent degree program is to train basic scientists in modern epidemiological research methods, providing them with skills and knowledge that will position them for translational science-oriented post-doctoral positions and eventually leadership roles at academic research institutions as well as in industry.
Students apply to this concurrent degree program by submitting separate applications to the MCB PhD and Epidemiology MS programs by December 1 of the year prior to fall quarter in which they plan to begin the PhD program. An applicant indicates his/her desire to enroll in the concurrent program by selecting the appropriate item on the Epidemiology Program Form in the online system, and by writing the words "Epi Program" in the section of the MCB PhD application that asks which faculty the applicant is interested in meeting. A student describes how the concurrent degree program will assist him or her to meet his/her career goals in the statement of purpose portion of the Epidemiology MS application. The statement should reflect an appropriate balance between basic science and population research. In addition, the Epidemiology MS program application should be accompanied by a minimum of one letter of recommendation (more preferred) that speaks to the student's interest/experience/knowledge of epidemiology (or other relevant population health discipline). Applicants need submit only one set of GRE scores (to code 4854); departmental codes are not necessary, but if included will not matter.
Please contact Professor Stephen M. Schwartz PhD (Epidemiology: mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com) to discuss your interest in the concurrent degree program, several months in advance of the application deadline. Also contact email@example.com to dicuss how to maximize your admissions chances.
The MCB PhD and Epidemiology MS applications will be reviewed by these programs' respective admissions committees, as well as by the concurrent degree program co-directors. If a student is subsequently selected to be interviewed for the MCB PhD program, and has been favorably reviewed by the Epidemiology admissions committee, he or she will be interviewed by the concurrent degree program directors during the visit to the UW. The student will then be notified as to his or her acceptance into each program. Admission into the concurrent degree program is dependent upon the availability of funding (see below).
If a successful applicant to the MCB PhD program did not apply to the concurrent program at the time of his/her initial application, he/she may apply during the first quarter of his/her MCB PhD program if he or she gains MCB permission. Applicants should follow the detailed Epidemiology Application Submission Instructions and those listed in under Concurrent Degree Application.
The required courses for the MCB PhD and Epidemiology MS programs are available on the respective program websites. The primary differences between the concurrent degree program curriculum and the curriculum of students who are enrolled only in the MCB PhD or the Epidemiology MS are as follows:
Enrollment in the concurrent program will add approximately four additional quarters to the student's time in graduate school. This will delay General Exam for the MCB PhD program by one year.
To meet the total credit requirement for both degree programs, the student will be permitted to count 12 credits for both the Epidemiology MS and MCB PhD. The specific recommended courses to be counted towards both programs will be decided by both departments.
The first year's curriculum for a concurrent degree student is identical to the MCB PhD Year 1 schedule with the following exceptions.Autumn Quarter
During the Winter and Spring Quarters, the student should identify his/her Epidemiology MS thesis topic, committee chair, and other committee member(s). He/she should also decide on his/her MCB PhD dissertation mentor. This is critical to prevent enrollment in the MS program from exceeding 4 quarters because the MS tuition is higher. If a student is admitted to the MS for his/her first year in the PhD program, the application will be deferred to the following Autumn Quarter. Admissions to the MS will not be finalized until firstname.lastname@example.com receives the names of the thesis committee members and the thesis topic.
In the Summer Quarter, s/he may begin lab work on the MCB PhD project and one of the MCB TA requirements. He/she also should begin background work needed for his/her Epidemiology MS thesis.
The second year's curriculum will consist of the required Epidemiology MS coursework (other than Biostatistics 517/518, which are taken in Year 1) and thesis.
* A student who did not take BIOST 517-8 prior to entering the MS program must do so during his/her first year in the MS program
The third year will consist of courses normally taken by MCB PhD students in their second year. The second MCB PhD TA/Outreach position requirement will be fulfilled this year. The student would work on his/her MCB PhD dissertation research during this year.
These years will consist of courses normally taken by MCB PhD students in years 3-5.
During the second year of the concurrent degree program (starting with the Autumn Quarter), one student will be supported for 12 months by funds from one of two NIH training grants, one focused on cancer and the other focused on either cancer or HIV. A student must conduct his/her thesis research on a topic consistent with the source of his/her funding. A student should contact professor Maxine Linial (firstname.lastname@example.com) as soon as he or she considers applying for the program. Funding in the preferred area may or may not be availible in a specific year. Students who do not graduate with an MS in 4 quarters will have to pay the significant difference between Epidemiology MS and MCB tution themselves.

POTSDAM The village is preparing to begin a multimillion-dollar project to renovate its aging wastewater treatment program.
The village has hired Carrie M. Tuttle, director of engineering for the Development Authority of the North Country, to seek an engineering firm capable of designing and overseeing the upgrades.
Ms. Tuttle will help oversee the bidding process the village will use to select an engineer.
Construction on the project is still several years out, according to Mayor Steven W. Yurgartis.
The 45-year-old plant has long been in need of a major upgrade. When it was built, its projected life span was 30 years.
The plant purifies the contents of the villages sewers, releasing clean water into the Raquette River.
The top priority is increasing energy efficiency by bringing many of the plants systems into the 21st century.
Every technology we get is in the interest of reducing our energy costs, plant Supervisor Robert M. Henninger said.
Many of the plants systems have not been updated since it was built in the 1960s.
It needs a new heating system and better purification processes, as well as more basic structural repairs to keep the building from falling into disrepair.
We need another 45 years out if it, and the only way to do that is renovate it, Mr. Henninger said.
According to Mr. Yurgartis, one of the most costly processes is hauling leftover sludge from the plant to a local farmers field, which costs the village about $160,000 a year.
The upgrade will include a process to remove more water from the sludge, to make it weigh less, and turn the rest into compost.
Mr. Yurgartis said it is too early to put any kind of specific price tag or timetable on the project.
It will be millions, he said. It will be a major renovation.

US Cellular confirmed it would offer the Motorola Electrify M starting November 8 for $100/€80 with a new two-year agreement.
As expected, the smartphone is now available for purchase online and it will go on sale at US Cellular brick and mortar stores beginning tomorrow.
Although the Electrify M is priced at $100/€80, customers who live in areas with no 4G LTE network coverage will have to pay $150/€115 for the device.
Motorola Electrify M ships with Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system out of the box, though we expect the handset maker to offer a Jelly Bean upgrade in the following months.
Hardware-wise, the smartphone is equipped with a dual-core processor clocked at 1.5 GHz, 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal memory, which can be further expanded up to 32GB via microSD memory card.

Rat-bite fever
Rat-bite fever is a rare disease spread by infected rodents.
Alternative Names
Streptobacillary fever; Streptobacillosis; Haverhill fever; Epidemic arthritic erythema; Spirillary fever; Sodoku
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Rat-bite fever can be caused by two different bacteria, Streptobacillus moniliformis or Spirillum minus, both of which are found in the mouths of rodents.
The disease is most often seen in:
- Asia
- Europe
- North America
Most people get rat-bite fever through contact with urine or secretions from the mouth, eye, or nose of an infected animal. This most commonly occurs though a bite, yet some cases may occur simply through contact with these secretions.
The source of the infection is usually a rat. Other animals that may cause infection include squirrels, weasels, and gerbils.
Symptoms depend on the bacteria that caused the infection.
Symptoms due to Streptobacillus moniliformis may include:
- Chills
- Fever
- Joint pain, redness, or swelling
- Rash
Symptoms due to Spirillum minus may include:
- Chills
- Fever
- Open sore at the site of the bite
- Rash -- may be red/purple plaques
- Swollen lymph nodes near the bite
Signs and tests
This condition is diagnosed by detecting the bacteria in skin, blood, joint fluid, or lymph nodes. Blood antibody tests and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques may also be used.
Rat-bite fever is treated with antibiotics. Your health care provider may prescribe penicillin or tetracyclines for 7 - 14 days.
Expectations (prognosis)
The outlook is excellent with early treatment. Untreated, the death rate can be as high as 25%.
- Abscesses of the brain or soft tissue
- Infection of the heart valves
- Inflammation of the parotid glands (parotitis)
- Inflammation of the tendons (tenosynovitis)
- Pericarditis
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if:
- You or your child has had recent contact with a rat or other rodent
- The person who was bitten has symptoms of rat-bite fever
Avoiding contact with rats or rat-contaminated dwellings may help prevent rat-bite fever. Taking antibiotics by mouth after a rat bite may also help prevent this illness.

Pneumococcal Disease (includes pneumococcal pneumonia, pneumococcal meningitis and pneumococcal bacteremia)
Updated: October 2014
- "Pneumococcal Disease" is also available in Portable Document Format (PDF, 61KB, 2pg.)
What is pneumococcal disease?
Pneumococcal disease is a bacterial infection caused by the bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae, also called pneumococcus. It may cause middle ear infection, pneumonia, meningitis (inflammation of the coverings of the brain and spinal column) or bacteremia (a bloodstream infection).
Who gets pneumococcal disease?
Although anyone can get pneumococcal disease, it occurs more frequently in infants, young children, African Americans, some Native American populations, the elderly or in people with serious underlying medical conditions such as chronic lung, heart or kidney disease. Others at risk include alcoholics, diabetics, people with weakened immune systems and those without a spleen. Infections occur anytime but most often during the winter and early spring when respiratory illnesses are more common.
How is the disease transmitted?
Pneumococcus is spread by airborne or direct exposure to respiratory droplets from a person who is infected or carrying the bacteria.
How soon after exposure do symptoms occur?
The incubation period may vary, but, it is generally one to three days.
What are the symptoms?
Symptoms generally include an abrupt onset of fever and shaking or chills. Other symptoms may include headache, cough, chest pain, disorientation, shortness of breath, weakness and occasionally a stiff neck.
What are the complications associated with pneumococcal disease?
Death occurs in 14 percent of hospitalized adults with invasive disease. Neurologic complications and/or learning disabilities can occur in meningitis patients. Hearing impairment can result from recurrent otitis media.
How is pneumococcal disease treated?
Prompt treatment with antibiotics, such as penicillin or a cephalosporin, is usually effective. However, penicillin-resistant strains of pneumococcus are increasingly being reported throughout the United States.
Does past infection with pneumococcal disease make a person immune?
Past infection with pneumococcus does not provide lifelong immunity against pneumococcal disease reoccurring due to the many types of pneumococcal bacteria.
Is there a vaccine to prevent infection?
Yes. There are two types of vaccines currently in use. The pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) contains protection against thirteen types of pneumococcal bacteria and can also help prevent some ear infections. The pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV23) contains protection from 23 types of pneumococcal bacteria. Both vaccines are safe and reduce disease occurrence.
PCV13 protects infants, children and adults by preparing their bodies to fight the bacteria. PCV13 is also recommended to help prevent pneumococcal disease in adults 19 years or older with certain medical conditions and in all adults 65 years or older.
PPSV23 protects against 23 types of pneumococcal bacteria. It is recommended for all adults 65 years and older and for anyone who is 2 years and older at high risk for disease. PPSV23 is also recommended for adults 19 through 64 years of age who smoke cigarettes or who have asthma.
In New York State, pneumococcal conjugate vaccine is required for pre-kindergarten attendance for children born on or after 1/1/08.
What can be done to prevent the spread of pneumococcal disease?
One of the most effective control measures is maintaining the highest possible level of immunization in the community.

Sure, "The Simpsons" may have lost a step over the last…decade or so. Even still, it entices big star after big star to make cameos in its yellow Springfield universe. Some stars have been better than others, and then even some others have been outright crazy. To find the wackiest of the wacky, take a look at this list of the 25 craziest Simpson's guest stars of all time.
Albert Brooks.
The man with the most guest shots on the Simpsons, not counting recurring characters. His best role? Hank Scorpio in the episode "You Only Move Twice."
Bette Midler.
The Divine Miss "M" is at her crazy best in Season 4's "Krusty Gets Kancelled.
Kelsey Grammer.
The man who was Frasier has turned in countless crazy performances as Sideshow Bob.
Michael Jackson.
Poor Saxy boy. Locked up in Springfield jail forever, all because he couldn't keep his mouth shut.

Its been about a month so far and I'm still blasting LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem." Not only do I still blast it, but I'm also shufflin' everyday. You can't help not to rock to the "Party Rock Anthem" and it's hard to not laugh when watching their hilarious antics in each music video.
My favorite thing to watch is the shufflebot shaking around and shufflin' in their videos, but in LMFAO's new video "Sexy and I Know It," there is more "wiggling" than shufflin'. A few times throughout the video you'll see some shufflin' and the shufflebot shufflin', but it's all done while wearing speedos. It's a major "show me your junk" fest, seriously it's like a dick thrusting fest. HAHAHA, it's on a whole new level.
I'm all for people dancing around and showing off their bodies in awkward ways, so this video ensues a bunch of laughs for me. I like it! It's kind of disgusting seeing all the wiggling, thrusting, and shaking; but it's LMFAO. The beat is catchy, the overall concept is funny, and I'm digging it.
Hate it or love it is basically what LMFAO was going for in this video. It's all about getting laughs but still pumping out some great dance tunes. If you don't get up and dance to "Sexy and I Know It," "Party Rock Anthem," and "Champagne Showers," then something must be a miss with your musical taste.
It's a video filled with crazy pants, Afros, awkward bodies, Wilmer Valderrama, and the best mascot ever; the shufflebot. It's fun music, so enjoy the laughs, dance, be silly, and even go out and create your very own shufflebot (I still need to do that.) LMFAO is awesome and they shouldn't have to apologize for being outlandish party rockers.The only thing that might have to apologize for is leaving images in my head of them, their dancers, and old fat guys thrusting their junk in multi-colored speedos. It's going to take a couple of days to recover from what I saw in the video below, but I definetly will keep party rocking and shufflin' everyday.

Class of 2015 Commencement
2 p.m. Saturday, May 16, 2015
To be held inside: Martin Field House
Welcome to Hiram's Commencement Website.
Commencement is a time of celebration, and we are pleased to share with you the details of this very special time in the lives of our students.
If after looking through the commencement information, you still have questions, please contact the Events Office for assistance. If we can't help you directly, we'll find someone who can.
Hiram College's commencement ceremony includes the Dean of the College reading each graduate's name as they process to the front. They will be given a diploma folder, congratulated by the College President and the Chair of the Board of Trustees.
All students with a G.P.A. of 3.5 or above after Fall Semester will be listed with Latin honors in the commencement program and the honor will be announced with their name during Commencement. Final Latin honors (Summa Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude, and Cum Laude) will be awarded officially after final grades are recorded. If your final cumulative G.P.A. is 3.5 or above, the associated Latin honor will appear on your diploma which will be mailed to you four to six weeks after Commencement. All final Latin honors and departmental honors will be noted on your final transcript.
The commencement exercises are planned to be held outdoors at Charles A. Henry Field. This outdoor location has unlimited capacity and therefore does not require tickets unless a guest has special seating needs. There is a chance however that Commencement could be moved indoors to Martin Field House if the advance weather forecast is judged to create safety, comfort or other concerns. This indoor contingency location does require tickets due to limited indoor capacity.
Each graduate can register for up to four (4) contingency tickets allowing them to invite 4 guests to attend the ceremony in Martin Field House if a weather call on Wednesday, May 13 drives it indoors. Registration also includes a 'wish list' number if more than four tickets are desired. Once the registration closes on May 1, any extra tickets will be distributed based upon the wish list requests using a lottery system and distributing up to 2 additional tickets at a time until all extra tickets are gone. The graduate will be notified by May 8 of any additional tickets they are getting and those will be added to their ticket packets for pick up commencement week.
Unfortunately, contingency tickets are NOT available on Commencement Day so all graduates must register by May 1.
A live video simulcast is being shown in Price Gym which is near Martin Field House. This provides a seating option for guests who do not have contingency tickets if the ceremony is moved inside due to the weather call on Wednesday.

A Classy Mario Scarf
January 16, 2008 4 Comments
There is nothing I love more than geeking out. That being said, sometimes there are things that are a bit too loud for my tastes. I prefer subtler items that hint towards the passion I have for video games, not necessarily the things that scream it from the rooftops. This Mario scarf fits the bill perfectly. It is beautiful and classy with just the right amount of geekiness.
Purchase here : Protean's Etsy Shop
Price : $25
This fluffy ivory scarf is 54 inches long and has a hand-sewn red and white Mario "love" mushroom adorning one of the ends. An adorable heart sits on the mushroom cap. I hereby declare this the most romantic Valentine's gift you can get for your gaming honey.
