Boy now 11 years old, diagnosed
with oppositional defiance disorder.
It has been sometime now since I brought Bill
to see you so I would like to pass on how he has blossomed and,
whilst I think there have been many contributing factors, Extra
Lesson definitely had a huge impact and a huge part to play.
Only last week, Bill brought home a Principal
Award from school for 'Outstanding sporting achievement and a
mature approach to his education and behaviour'. These
have been making a fairly regular appearance in our house over
the last couple of years.
He is now in his third year at the new school
(in year 5) and his results and happiness have continued to escalate. He's
even hoping to sit a scholarship exam next year - through his own
I'm constantly being praised by other parents
and my friends for what a lovely young man he is. Whilst
he's still very apprehensive about going somewhere he doesn't
know, or trying something new, he's recognizing his fear and
learning to face it.
He also recently played representative rugby
for Sydney University junior team - quite the little sportsman
and he DOES love his rugby!
It really has been such a huge turn around - thank you so much
for the huge part you played. I understand you are now exceptionally
busy and I quite understand why.
If there is any way I can ever help you out, you
only ever have to ask.
Many thanks and my very best wishes,

Testimonial From a Happy Parent of a Year
6 Boy.
My son was first diagnosed
with ADHD at age three and a half. I was always a bit dubious
about the diagnosis, and just thought
he was
a very energetic young boy. He certainly was energetic – he
was exhausting in his need to keep moving and climbing and doing
things all the time. The only time he sat still was in front
of the TV, and then he turned into a zombie.
As he progressed
through the early years of school, his teachers routinely stated
that they did not believe he had ADHD either.
His handwriting and fine motor skills generally, were always
appallingly bad. He was very impulsive and constantly losing
things, but other
than that he always managed to perform at an average level,
and they
believed this was because he was an average student. He was
still very energetic, but he did not display any other negative
that caused problems in the classroom, and his social skills
were generally good. I now know that he was bright enough and
enough to overcome the difficulties he was having.
Over the
years I tried a number of alternative therapies to try to manage
the impulsive behaviour and excessive energy
The most
effective of these was homoeopathy, which did manage to calm
him down to a degree, and all the other things we tried may
have helped
to some extent; it is hard to know how much.
Then he went
into year five. He was ten at this stage, and was fortunate
enough to get a teacher who noticed the struggle
was having in
the classroom, and believed that his abilities outstripped
the results he was achieving. She suggested I have him
assessed again,
to see
where his problems lay. I was very relieved to have my
suspicions confirmed, because by this time it was becoming apparent
that he wasn't coping. He could not sustain attention
to task for very long while doing his homework, and would
often turn to me in despair
and say "Mum, I just can't see what it is I've
got to do." This, even though it was a simple question
he had been able to do five minutes earlier. It was as
if his brain just
switched off. He was also very disorganised, losing things
constantly, and very impulsive in his approach to his work.
He often got the
wrong answer just because he couldn't manage to slow
down enough to read the question properly. He rushed through
everything, but
couldn't seem to control this, even though he could
acknowledge it was causing him problems. His self esteem
was starting to suffer – he
just thought he was stupid.
This time he was diagnosed with
ADD – inattentive type.
It was suggested that I do a four week trial of Ritalin
to see how much
his performance improved. I desperately wanted to help
my son, but I did not want to drug him every day of his
life. Then, thank
I found Lalage, and Extra Lesson.
We are just completing
twelve months of weekly sessions with Lalage, and I
know where to begin in telling you how much it has
changed our lives. My son is a different boy. He was always a
happy, optimistic child, and now he is free to be that
without the
nagging sense of failure he had in the classroom. He
has just finished first term of year 7, and while we
were both dreading high school
and the extra workload, he has in fact excelled. His
marks have been excellent, he is really enjoying school,
and he doesn't even
ask for my help with his homework any more, let alone
tell me he can't do it. When I went to his year
co-ordinator to make sure he was aware of my son's
diagnosis, he just looked at me perplexed, and said "But
he's the one who sits quietly in class
and does his work. He has no problem staying on task
at all!" He
gets himself up and organised and off to school in
the mornings, and gets himself home in the afternoons
does his homework
without being asked. And he has only lost a few things
so far!! There is
no sense of struggle anymore, and most importantly
he is happy, and free at last to achieve to what ever
he is truly capable
Thank you Extra Lesson. I must admit, I fear it is
too good to be true, but I hope I am proved wrong.
Four months later and I have just received my
son's half-yearly
report. So far, so good! He did even better in second
term than he did in first term. I never in my life
thought he'd get a report
as good as the one he's just had. He is also

Christopher Hill, d.o.b. 28/2/87
: Chris aged 12
Chris was getting into more and more trouble
at school. Most of his teachers felt that he was quite capable
academically, but being
disobedient, not complying with instructions
and being generally disruptive. We felt he was acting "out"rather
than acting "up".
Extra lesson was suggested
to us by psychologist Teo de Haas at a time when we
were not sure where
to turn. We had an
initial consultation
with Lalage Craig, who felt that Chris
did indeed have developmental problems and that he
would certainly
benefit from Extra lesson's
programme. This was encouraging news
for worried parents.
One particular statement that she made
that struck
us at the time
was that no

every child likes to do well, and be rewarded for it.
thus embarked upon the programme, not really knowing what to
expect, a little bemused by the
daily exercises which
were set,
but relieved
to feel that maybe at last there was
something we could do.
Lalage had given as a projected
time-frame 18 months. We knew that this would carry
Chris well
into the adolescent period
(he was
12yrs 7mths when he started), and
had some misgivings about
his compliance.
Would he do these daily exercises
as requested? We could foresee problems with
the floor exercises
in particular,
crawling up and down the corridor,
possibly embarassing him in front of
his brothers (he is the third of
four boys).
In fact, Chris was remarkably compliant.
We settled on a time that suited
him, and he patiently
what was
asked of him.
The exercises
ranged from those that he didn't
mind doing to those that seemed boring.
Once, when
he was particularly
fed up, we
asked him
to talk to Lalage about it. He
asked us to broach the subject. Chris
and does still, feel diffident
about talking to adults.
was at about the same time that
Lalage had felt in fact that she had "hit
the wall" with him, that he
was not responding at all when other
children at a similar stage would
respond well, and felt
that he
may even be depressed. It was 5 months
into the programme. We were having
similar communication problems with
him at home,
and Lalage
felt that if things didn1t start
to improve maybe he should discontinue
the programme.
That was probably our lowest point.
It was also a turning point. Chris's

he was
also working

Samonas sound therapy, which
Lalage had felt would benefit him. (His "functional

In June and July of 2001
as a 19-year-old
boy young man
I had
completed a

in Parramatta.

this course that
I was recommended, by the teacher of the
course, to go and
see somebody regarding
I'd always
had with my short
memory, so my mother
began ringing the
two places my teacher
one was in Ashfield
and another was in
Chatswood, which
is where I ended
up going.
In approximately
September of that
same year, I booked my first
session with
Lalage Craig
of Extra
and I was
asked to
do a few exercises
no offence to Lalage, I found
to be quite strange.
The reason why
I felt
way was because I was asked
to do such things as crawl around
the room
a little baby. It was also
on this day I found
out exactly what
was that
was constantly
holding me
back at school:
the midline

with was never integrated — in
other words, the left side
and the right sides of my brain
not interacting with each other
thus making my life quite
difficult. I also learned that
I have "dyspraxia," which
means I find it hard to coordinate
Anyhow, I can recall
coming home and being quite
at my new
discoveries. So I
persisted in
seeing Lalage
in Chatswood
who would send me
home with some exercises
once a week. It soon reached a point
I outright
to do the exercises because
the fact
that they were supposed to
help me out was not
sinking into
my brain and
I was not
them seriously — these
exercises really made me
feel silly: I was a 19 year
old "man" doing
some little kid's exercises.
However, over the Christmas
holiday break, I was quite
and upset with
myself because
I had addressed
my problems
but I wasn't doing
anything about them. So,
this time I decided that
since I had a few problems,
I was going
to solve them by putting
in that extra effort and
doing my set exercises
without creating any excuses.
I was
also being constantly told
that people are victims
of life — when you
control your life, your
life controls you.
I returned to Lalage
recently, in February
of 2002 at 20 years
of age,

Back when I first began,
I was told to go around
the room,

legs and then say the days of

forwards and backwards.
I could
never say them backwards,
it was a great struggle
for me before but now
it was a total breeze.
I am also finding that
the left and right sides
of my brain are beginning
to communicate with each
other: exactly what we
were aiming
for. I am also a little
more in control of my
life. I thank Lalage
for constantly
being there to encourage
me to do my work, and
now I finally realise
it doesn't matter
what age you are — if
you have these kinds
of problems: go sort

Referral Programs 7
Conscious Un-Company-ing: Creating a Successful Corporate Alumni Program
There may be little hope for reconciliation between Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow because she belongs with Brad Pitt, but conscious uncouplings between companies and employees don't have to last forever. Thanks to corporate alumni programs, companies such as Deloitte, IBM and KPMG are able to stay connected with former employees — often in hopes the employees will one day come back to them as "boomerang hires."
Increasing the possibility of rehiring former employees isn't the only benefit to creating a corporate alumni program, however.
'Grey's Anatomy' and the Case for Corporate Alumni Programs
In a move reminiscent of Luke Perry's epic return to 'Beverly Hills '90210' and George Clooney's memorable homecoming on 'ER,' the producers of 'Grey's Anatomy' recently announced former castmate Isaiah Washington would come back to the show for an upcoming special episode.
What does this have to do with recruitment? Who cares??? We're talking about TV now and that's more important than anything in the world!!!
4 Mistakes to Avoid in Your Mobile Employee Referral Program
So you've decided to take your employee referral program to the next level: mobile. Excellent decision. Though they are managed in the workplace, referrals are created through the social interactions employees have with their friends during their free time. Having a mobile referral program will enable employees even greater ability to refer quality candidates no matter where they are.
Whether it's allowing employees to send you referrals directly from the gym or restaurant where they meet up with potential candidates, or providing them with a quick job link to post on their social networks or via email, harnessing the power of their mobile connectivity will naturally lead to more referrals coming your way.
Why Your ATS's Candidate Referral Source Report May be Misleading You
You deserve a pat on the back. Your paid job board resources have done their job and delivered you thousands of qualified candidates over the last 12 months — candidates from which your company has made a ton of great hires. Everybody is feeling pretty good.
It also happens to be that time of year again: contract renewal time. As expected, you get a phone call from one of your job board sales reps.
4 Essential Steps to Recognize Employees in Your Referral Program
Employee recognition is a major factor in workplace activities, and employee referral programs are no exception. Acknowledging employees' contributions to the program encourages both repeat behavior and feelings of accomplishment. Precisely because the success of your referral program is, for all intents and purposes, dependent on the participation rates of your employees, it is important to facilitate a culture of gratitude, giving credit where credit is due and sending the message that your employees' involvement is extremely valuable.
Forget Social Media | Recruit Employees With Word-of-Mouth Marketing
They may love their Facebooks, their Twitters and their YouTubes, but the members of Gen Y may not be nearly as swayed by social media as you might think. New research around social media's influence on consumer behavior indicates that, while millennials might be "digital natives", they are actually more influenced by word-of-mouth marketing than social media when it comes to making purchasing decisions.
Top 10 Reasons to Build a Robust Employee Referral Program
With multiple reports lately discussing how employers are having difficulty filling open positions – despite the high unemployment rate – now is the perfect time to invest in an employee referral program (ERP) – whether that entails creating one from scratch or enhancing your current one.
Referrals make up 26.7 percent of all external hires, making referrals the number one resource for them, according to the 2010 CareerXRoads Sources of Hire study.

Next Tuesday New Albany voters will decide a simple issue: whether to permit the sale of wine and spirits within the city limits.
But we think the ramifications of the vote will have a significant effect in coming years on New Albany. Will the city attract its share of new residents and businesses as our region grows or will most all of that growth tip toward Tupelo as it does now?
To us, the issue does not revolve around whether people in New Albany will drink alcohol. Some do and some don't. It's a personal decision; the vote likely will have no effect on it.
To us, this is a simple business decision. We need to attract more people, more shops and more restaurants. It helps fill our city coffers with tax money and keeps our property taxes low.
Opponents of the sale of wine and spirits say New Albany is too small to attract national chain restaurants. They quote a web site that purports to say national chain restaurants require at least 100,000 people within a 15-minute drive of the restaurant. If that were the only criteria, of course, Tupelo would have none of the restaurants.
Their argument is false. Small towns on major highways do get chain restaurants. Just down the road in Batesville, which has a smaller population than New Albany, is a Chili's. There are small towns all over America with chain restaurants.
Voters should not be misled. We will get more restaurants. We will be in a better position to attract our share of new residents and new businesses.
A vote "For" on Tuesday makes good economic sense. It's time to move ahead.

UK – Permanent legal staff levels up
Senior legal secretarial professionals are in strong demand as firms in the UK begin to restructure and grow their internal departments, according to the specialist recruitment firm, DMJ Legal. While economic uncertainty has constrained recruitment in the legal sector, things are beginning to take a positive turn again. But this could also cut the heavy reliance of temporary workers in the industry as their staffing levels have increased during the crisis and may drop again now that economic prospects are improving.
"During the recession, and in its aftermath, support teams within law firms downsized permanent staff in a drive to cut costs and instead relied heavily on temporary employees to work on a project by project basis. However things are beginning to change as firms seek to increase their headcount which can only be a positive sign for the profession as a whole," said Caroline Rhodes of DMJ Legal.
Ms Rhodes says that as firms have increasingly begun to hire permanent support staff since the beginning of the year, there has been a clear need for employees to support and manage these teams. As a direct result, there has been heightened demand for Secretarial Team Leaders, a role not seen advertised since before the recession.
"We've been inundated in the last couple of months with requests for senior secretarial staff who can enter a firm and manage an existing team of support staff," Ms Rhodes said.
"And whilst these staff are assuming a management role, we are seeing a desire from clients to employ candidates who can not only oversee fellow employees, but who can also get stuck in with the day-to-day administrative element of a busy law firm too. Candidates that have both these skills are being snapped up quickly in today's market and we imagine this trend is set to gain pace as the economy recovers in the coming months."

Boeing considers earnings-tapping pension expenses
Chief Financial Officer Gregory D. Smith said Tuesday that Boeing is considering several options, including making no change.
The options under review include changing to mark-to-market accounting, which would take into consideration changes in the value of pension assets and obligations. It could, however, introduce more swings in earnings reports because the current accounting method spreads out gains and losses from assets over several years.
Last month, auto parts and building equipment maker Johnson Controls Inc. said it would switch to mark-to-market accounting.
Smith said Boeing would like to make a decision by January, when the airplane builder and defense contractor will offer a financial forecast of 2013. He said during a Goldman Sachs investor conference that the goal was to give investors a better idea of how the company's core business is performing.
Boeing's net income in the third quarter fell 6 percent to $1 billion, because of higher pension expenses. On a per-share basis, net income was $1.35 but would have been $1.53 without the pension item. Revenue rose 13 percent to $20 billion.
Smith was also asked whether Boeing, which has a backlog of more than 4,000 airplanes to build, can still increase the number of orders it gets over the next two years.
"We're not seeing a slowdown in demand," Smith said, adding that about half the backlog consists of airlines buying more fuel-efficient replacement planes.
Boeing's defense business has been under pressure because of the outlook for slower Pentagon spending, which could be cut from the so-called fiscal cliff in January. Smith said Chicago-based Boeing sees potential growth for sales of transport planes, fighter jets and helicopters to the Middle East, India and South America.
Shares of Boeing slipped 3 cents to $73.66 in afternoon trading Tuesday. They are closer to the high end of their 52-week range of $62.12 to $77.83.

Rick's Prime Rib House | The Best Prime Rib in Rochester
Rick's Prime Rib House is located in the Doud Post, an historic landmark in the Town of Gates in Monroe County, New York. The Town of Gates, established in April of 1813, was named after General John Buroyne at the Battle of Saratoga in 1777.
In the early 1900s, Gates resident and WWI soldier, William Wiley Doud, was killed in battle in Grand-Pre, France on November 1, 1918. His heroics on the battlefield warranted some type of recognition in the hearts of the townspeople.
It was determined that the American Legion Post would be memorialized as the Doud Post. On October 28, 1929, William's father, Frank Doud, broke ground on the largest American Legion building in Monroe County. The building was completed and formally opened on May 22, 1940.
In spring of 2006, Stacy and Phil Cammilleri took over the thriving restaurant. A new executive chef was added to the staff to tantalize your taste buds with mouth-watering veal, fresh seafood, flavorful chicken, tender lamb, succulent steak and pasta entrées. It goes without saying, that our featured dish is our famous signature prime rib entrées, ranging from our 16 oz. cut to our 44 oz. cut. You'll find our prime rib succulent, juicy and slow roasted to perfection, served au jus.

"My Thank You cards come out beautifully. I really fell in love with the design since it went perfectly with the fact I'm getting married in a park. I had also ordered the save-the-date postcards and Invitations of this design at the same time. When I opened the box I really was so happy with how lovely all three looked together."
"These thank you cards are so beautiful! I was very impressed with the quality of the paper and the photo quality. I also very much appreciate the option to customize the fonts, as I was able to use the same font for all my wedding stationary. The only thing I would mention is that the cards are smaller than I thought they would be - my mistake for not reading the dimensions properly. I assumed it was a 5 x 7 card, but it is actually much smaller. Chose your photos with that in mind -close up shots actually work much better than full length shots."
"I am so thrilled with our thank you cards! They arrived to us within 2 weeks under regular shipping. The quality of paper is nice and sturdy. We have been receiving tons of compliments about how beautiful our thank you cards are. You will definitely love this product!"
"Loved the design, loved being able to customize the colors - quality did not change with the change in color. Great product - exactly what I was looking for."
"This card was even more beautiful when I received it in person!! It matched my wedding pictures perfect! The paper is also really nice and makes it an even better quality. My thank you notes turned out so gorgeous I think they should use mine as an example for the card instead of the one they have!!!"

Helping others is never too far from the Guamanian thoughts and hearts. If you take a look at the dynamics of our community, you will realize that the people of Guam are typically generous and always ready to lend a helping hand.
It does not matter whether we are such a relatively small community in a modest island setting compared to other largely populated places; we exercise so much strong support to our fellow brothers and sisters in need.
Our hearts are always welcoming to those who are unfortunate. I have lived in many places but only here have I found much effort to raise funds to donate to ...

One of the most popular destinations in Mexico, Puerto Vallarta occupies a nice niche between the other beachfront resort cities—it's more sophisticated than Cancún, but more laid-back than Acapulco. Part of its popularity is owed to the fact that development has left its Old Town unscathed, so there are cobblestone streets and graceful churches in the city center instead of glass-and-concrete towers. Moreover, the city has the best dining on the coast. As the destination has grown in popularity, dozens of excellent chefs have opened restaurants that mix traditional dishes and modern tastes. And shoppers are not left out of the mix. After a day spent here, die-hard shoppers often need an extra suitcase for their ceramics, textiles, beadwork, jewelry, and art.

OEA projects 10K teachers will lose their jobs from funding cuts
Our friends over at the OEA have a fun tool to play with for those people who want to learn the true economic impact Kasich's budget will have on local economies throughout Ohio. OEA has compiled data on every individual school district, county, House district, and Senate district based on the number of teachers that will be fired from the cuts to public education in Kasich's proposed budget. OEA projects that these cuts will lead to districts firing over 10,000 teachers across the state and will result in a loss of $1.7 billion in FY 13 and $2.1 billion across the biennium to local economies.
According to the OEA site, these projections are based on a couple of assumptions. (1) School districts are unable to operate for long with a deficit and will be forced to fire teachers due to a significant loss of state funding, and (2) each teacher that losses their job represents a person who will be unable to put money back into the local economy, hence, harming local businesses. The projections are based on the average salary and benefits of a teacher across the state.
So, lets look at a couple of examples. I went ahead and took a look at what Kasich's budget means for my hometown of Akron and the impact it will have on the local economy there.
According to the OEA tool, Akron City Schools will loose 214 full time employees due to FY 12 cuts, leading to a loss of $24 million in FY 13 in the local economy and a loss of $37 million over the entire biennium.
At the county level 614 teachers are expected to lose their jobs leading to a loss of $88 million in FY 13 and $118 million over the Biennium.
It doesn't get any better at the Representative level either. When selected for Rep. Lynn Slaby 748 teachers will lose their jobs, with a loss of $112 million in FY 13 and $145 million across the biennium.
Lastly, Senator Tom Sawyer's district is expected to shed 914 teaching positions, creating a loss of $130 million in FY 13 and $175 million across the biennium.
This of course all flies in the face of John Kasich's assertion that this is somehow a jobs budget. The more people who project the impacts of this budget the more clear it becomes that this budget will lead to a loss of thousands of jobs and a very large negative impact on local economies. Combine the information shown here from the OEA tool, with the report put out by Innovation Ohio that the budget will lead to a loss of 51,000 jobs, that fact that this administration even gets to repeat this lie is just kind of sad now. Or, maybe the fact that this was called a jobs budget was never intended to be a factual statement?
5 Comments
So the loss of 214 government employees will cost the local economy of Akron 24 million dollars in 2013. Why not leave them in place and hire an additional 214; you would be increasing the local economy by 24 million. Hire enough and the local economy could be the most robust in the state.
At $112,000 per job how much prosperity do we want to generate with taxpayer money? Maybe the folks in Akron should do some bake sales— I doubt the farmers in northwest Ohio are going to get in line to contribute or support higher taxes for this purpose!

In this third installment of MGM's "Dr. Kildare" series, Dr. James Kildare (Lew Ayres) comes to the rescue when his supervisor/mentor Dr. Gillespie (Lionel Barrymore) nearly collapses from overwork. Gillespie is seeking a permanent cure for pneumonia, and must ask Kildare for assistance when the task proves beyond his physical ability. The older doctor eventually does collapse, and the diagnosis is cancer. Gillespie recovers, while Kildare finds his hands full in juggling both the pneumonia cure and the case of a woman (Helen Gilbert) suffering from psychosomatic blindness. But what's the "secret" of Dr. Kildare? Well...that's a secret (until you see the film). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Medical Info
Submucous Cleft Palate Explained
By: Dr Jane Russell
The condition described as submucous cleft palate is when the palate appears to be structurally intact, but there are bony and/or muscular abnormalities underlying the skin's surface.
Sometimes, but not always, it is possible to see the signs associated with submucous cleft palate. These are a bifid uvula (the part of the palate which hangs down at the back isdivided), a bony defect in the hard palate (it looks 'dented') and a bluish or white line in the middle of the soft palate. One parent described an obvious submucous cleft palate as: "it looks like part of the palate is made of cling film."
The diagnosis of submucous cleft palate is usually confirmed by the surgeon or another clinician feeling the palate, as well as observing any of the obvious signs. It can be very difficult, even for skilled observers, to detect some submucous clefts. It is also difficult to determine the incidence of submucous cleft palate, because many do not cause any problems and therefore remain undiagnosed.
A submucous cleft palate may occur with a cleft lip, but the majority occur in isolation. Submucous clefts can cause early feeding difficulties, speech problems and associated ear problems (e.g. glue ear).
Practice varies from place to place, but most centres do not automatically operate on submucous clefts. Each diagnosed case is carefully evaluated, with babble and speech development being monitored by a speech and language therapist. In infants, an operation may be undertaken when there is a history of significant feeding difficulties, persisting ear problems, and delayed development of babbling. Speech and language therapists will listen in particular for sounds which require pressure in the mouth, e.g. 'd', 'b', and 'g'.
In other children, referral to the cleft palate team may be made because of speech problems such as those associated with inadequate palate movement, or palates which cannot reach the back wall of the throat (velopharyngeal insufficiency or VPI). In addition, there may be a history of feeding and/or ear problems. For these children, a range of investigations may be carried out.
In some cases there may be a period of diagnostic speech and language therapy to determine if the child can achieve an improvement in speech without having to undergo an operation. Some children achieve good palate function alongside an improvement in articulation skills.
When surgery is necessary, a detailed speech assessment should be carried out 6 to 8 weeks post-operatively. Children who already had good speech and language skills prior to an operation may not need formal therapy. Others, with less good articulatory skills, require therapy to help them learn to use their improved palatal musculature and to overcome 'bad habits' in their speech patterns.
Case One
Tania is a little girl whose submucous cleft was found two days after birth,during a routine paediatric examination. She was referred to the surgeon and speech and language therapist from the Cleft Team. There were no feeding problems. From the age of 12 months, Tania was assessed at 6-monthly intervals. Tania is now six years old, and has no symptoms resulting from her submucous cleft palate. She has good language skills and normal clear speech.
Case Two
Katie was referred to a community speech and language therapist by her health visitor when she was 5 years old. She had good language development, but hypernasal speech. That is, she was using correct articulation, but excess air was escaping through her nose during speech. There had been no previous feeding problems.
Katie's submucous cleft palate was diagnosed by the specialist speech and language therapist and confirmed by the plastic surgeon. Her submucous cleft was repaired and the operation was a success; no speech and language therapy was needed.

One of the most famous deck in the world is surely Rider-Waite tarot card deck which is a suite of cards, major arcana and minor arcana like in tarot of Marseilles deck. Which is interesting to see is instead of Belline's Oracle which was drawn by a clairvoyant, Rider-Waite tarot deck was drawn by an illustrator. Pamela Colman Smith was poster drawer before being famous with tarot card reading.
Arthur Edward Published this deck with a little book called The key of the tarot which is still followed today and which is still a working base for many psychic readers.
A popular tarot reading tool
Even if we can see now more and more tarot decks, this one is still the most used tarot card deck in North America. Where does this popularity comes from? We just have to look closely a tarot deck in order to understand why this game is such famous. Clear background and many details, this tarot deck is a really good psychic reading tool, still used by many psychic readers in the world.
It is easy to find where does this tool comes from when we look at it. We can see a brotherhood between Rider-Waite deck and tarot of Marseilles and Visonti-Sforza deck. It is not really surprising when we know than Rider-Waite tarot was drawn later after tarot of Marseilles. Rider-Waite tarot gives sometimes more details to readers because we can see some symbols which cannot be shown elsewhere.
Psychic reading with tarot
As we always say on this website, tarot card reading is not a science, it is just a divinatory art which can be used as an entertainment. But why so many people find it accurate? It is certainly because we can see many things in tarot cards especially in Rider-Waite tarot. In one word, people see what they want to see in these cards and many answers given by them can happen to many people not to only one.
If tarot psychic reading is not a science, it can be a good entertainment and a good tool for thinking different. It can helps to shows some hidden ways, sometimes but not always. When we talk about clairvoyance, we always talk about something uncertain.

Connecticut lawmakers pass bill to keep murder records secret
This may sound familiar to Utahns: A bill drastically changing government-records laws is secretly drafted and rushed through with little time for public comment.
In a scenario reminiscent of the HB477 debacle, Connecticut lawmakers passed a bill that makes records of murder cases private. The bill, which was drafted in secret by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's staff, the state's top prosecutor and leaders in the legislature, was a response to the Sandy Hook shootings, where a gunman killed 20 students and six teachers before committing suicide.
The bill, which did not go through the public hearing process and was passed at the end of the legislature's session, exempts photos, film or digital images depicting homicide victims, as well as 911 calls describing the condition of a victim. It also shifts the burden of proof from the state to the requester, who has to make the case why a record should be released.
Malloy said the purpose of the bill was to protect the families from seeing the crime photos on the Internet. Some of the victims' families support the move.
"I'm fully supportive of an open and transparent government, but I can't understand how distributing graphic photos of murdered teachers and children serves any purpose other than causing our families more pain," Dean Pinto, whose 6-year-old son, Jack, was killed in the school shooting, was quoted in reports as saying.
The law initially only dealt with the Sandy Hook case, but was expanded to cover all homicides in the Nutmeg State, which sets a bad precedent, critics warn.
"What they're doing here is protecting the family ⦠but it becomes a slippery slope," said David Cuillier, president-elect of the Society of Professional Journalists. "Anything that makes someone uncomfortable, the government can make secret."

UK – Impellam to post lower profits despite higher sales
UK recruiter Impellam reported on Tuesday that trading during the second half of the year has been stable with the firm expecting year-on-year revenue growth across all of its staffing businesses. But due to pricing pressure within some business areas, the company expects a "small" fall in full year gross profit (net fee income).
The firm also reported restructuring charges of £5.5 million. Operating profit before restructuring and share option charges are likely to be around £3.0 million lower than the prior year.
Looking ahead, the firm anticipates better prospects: "Following an extensive restructuring of the Group, the cost base has been reduced which will deliver further benefits as we enter 2013. This, coupled with contract wins and our bias towards temporary staffing relative to permanent placement, provides a degree of resilience to the Group's earnings and cash generation and we therefore expect to see a return to operating profit growth in 2013."
Impellam announced that it is also considering the payment of a one-off special dividend of not less than £15.0 million. It first announced paying back cash dividends in February.
Impellam Group conducts business primarily in the UK and the US, with smaller operations in Australia, Ireland, New Zealand and mainland Europe. The Group employs around 6,000 people and is ranked 19th in Staffing Industry Analysts' latest ranking of largest staffing firms in the world.

The provision, which faces an uncertain fate in the Senate, would bar warrantless collection of personal online information and prohibit access for the NSA and CIA into commercial tech products.One supporter said, "The American people are sick of being spied on."The House also endorsed several new roadblocks to President Barack Obama's effort to close the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.The House is expected to pass the bill Friday.House backs limits on government spying
