"If you want to consistently perform better on the golf course, under pressure, work with David MacKenzie! In a brief amount of time, he's taught me mental skills which have helped me play great golf. His affirmations helped boost my confidence to believe in myself and my abilities."
"Working with David MacKenzie helped me reach a whole new level in my game and the techniques we worked on were key to my winning this year's Russian Junior Championship. He has a great insight into the mind of an elite golfer and I use his techniques during every round to keep me confident and focused. Thanks David!"
David is amazing!! After just one short session, I knew my golf game would improve. David gave me techniques that really helped free up my putting. I'm much more relaxed and confident on the greens. He also taught me ways to stay in the present moment. This is a constant struggle and David's unique post-round review worksheet really keeps me on track. Thanks David!! Your work is priceless!!
David has been a huge help to making me break-thru mental barriers that prevented me from playing golf to my full potential. The work David and I have done together has made me confident in my abilities and trust that I have what it takes to play great. David's mental techniques to unlocking my golf game have helped me push through junior golf and move onto the collegiate level.
David's teaching cuts through all the noise in golf coaching and gets to the heart of what's really needed to consistently improve.
"David has helped me reach a new level in my golf game. He has equipped me with a toolbox full of techniques to help me succeed in high pressure situations. One of the things we have focused on is building a process that works for me and that I can rely on. Since I started working with David I have learned how to build confidence, which is a key to competing at the highest level."
David has helped me quieten my mind in pressure situations and given me a solid mental process to manage my thoughts and emotions for the entire round. It's given me a whole new level of confidence in my game and it show's in my results.
"David has helped me remove those mental blocks that we're preventing me from taking my game to a new level. David's sessions have made me feel more confident and helped me trust my swing. His system makes the mental side of the game easy to comprehend and easy to take action to use it to your full advantage. Thanks David!"
As a student, coach and instructor in the game of golf I have dedicated endless hours in research of the best approach to conquering the mental side of golf. David MacKenzie has developed the ultimate mental game training system for golf. David has put together a program that not only explains "what to do" but clearly defines "how to do it". Providing an effective and easy to implement system is where many mental game coaches fall short and David's program is absolutely spot on!
"Working with David has given me the tools to become much more confident in my potential as a golfer. He tailored his teachings to my individual weaknesses and helped me overcome negative thoughts that I had experienced on the course. His work with numerous elite players has given him tremendous insight into what it takes to play to the best of your ability. "
Of all the mental training packages available, Golf State of Mind is at the highest level. The content is superbly written based on good science, and knowledge David has gained from the many high-level players with whom he works. More importantly, the drills and exercises for their application are clear. Dial-in! This stuff really works.
"Since working with David for the past couple of years, I've seen a huge increase in my confidence, focus and my ability to handle the pressure of big tournaments. David's process has without a doubt made me a mentally tougher golfer."
David has helped me build a stronger mental process and a quality practice regimen, which has made me feel like I'm consistently working towards my goals. With my new "process" goals, I feel less pressure to score and I can feel my confidence growing with each round.
I want to thank you for helping make this a "break through" year for me. I am having fun again playing golf, and look forward to reaching new goals. The "process" that you helped me incorporate into my game gave me real purpose over every shot.
Your coaching style is fresh and insightful, but more importantly you empower the player on their personal journey to better.
Working with David MacKenzie helped me reach a whole new level in my game. He has a fantastic insight into the mind of an elite golfer and I use his techniques during every round to keep me confident and focused. Thanks David!
Over the past 6 weeks I have had a number of good finishes and played some very consistent golf. This is largely down to the work I did with David MacKenzie at "Golf State of Mind" over the winter. I am extremely relaxed and at one with myself on the course and able to get rid of any disappointment that may of lingered in previous years after a bad shot.
David's Golf State of Mind Training System has given me specific things to work on to improve my mental game and I've seen huge improvement in my ability to play under pressure.
David Mackenzie has a subtle yet genius approach toward the mental game. I got the chance to work with him and his knowledge of the mental game really helped to change my thought process on the golf course. After working with him, I felt more confident and I look forward to working with him in the future!
David's coaching highlights the difference that makes a difference. When you practice these fundamentals you not only remove self imposed interference, but it returns you to your natural brilliance. Simple and deceptively brilliant.
The tournament I played after reading David's Training Program I hit 50 out of 54 greens and it had everything to do with his powerful concepts.
David MacKenzie is truly an expert in coaching the performance skills of the mental side of golf. For what is complicated for most to communicate, David does in a simple, clear, and effective way. His ideas help golfers shoot lower scores and enjoy the game more.
"In David MacKenzie, you have a coach who really understands and applies that simple but profound truth."
"On Tour you have to do everything possible to squeeze extra shots out of all areas of your game. David's coaching has taught me how to quieten my mind in pressure situations so I can think more clearly and access my best swings."
"David's coaching makes playing good golf simple and effective. It's amazing how a change in perspective towards what's really important can make such a huge difference. All golfers, whether beginner or a Tour Pro like myself would benefit from his system."
"David MacKenzie has created an amazing tool for anyone ready to tackle the mental game of golf. His "Golf State of Mind" system is very organized and yet exquisitely simple. David takes you through each aspect of the game, from long to short, talking you through the stumbling blocks and helping you clear them out of your way. I love it. His insights help my golf game, and my everyday life."
"David is certainly what you would call "a mental game guru". Not only does he have deep insight into how to maximize performance using the power of the mind, but he communicates it in a way that's easy to understand and easy to apply. Golfers of all levels can learn how to build confidence and get out of their own way with David's coaching."

The machete makes a zipping noise, followed by a loud crack. I try to guess what other U.S. industries are powered by guys with machetes. Probably not many.
Wailea Agricultural Group's operation on the Big Island of Hawaii looks like a very small, lush lumberyard. Smooth logs are piled on the flatbeds of three John Deere Gators backed into a semi-circle against the packing shed. Beyond the gray metal walls, a sea of short, dark-green palm fronds flap under a clear morning sky, awaiting their fate by machete blow. My friend, who's brought me to the farm in his Prius, arches a cynical eyebrow.
"You know, this is Hawaii's new sustainable cash crop. Or, some people think so."
A lot of Hawaiian farmers wonder what's next after the final demise of pineapple and sugarcane. Del Monte harvested the last pineapple crop in 2008, Maui Land and Pineapple shut down in 2009, and Dole has moved all but a few acres in Oahu to Costa Rica, Thailand, and the Philippines. Just last December, Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar Company (HS&C) harvested their final crop and put the 36,000-acre parcel up for auction, closing the door on an industry that once brought over 300,000 immigrant laborers to the islands. Today's profits are most easily reaped selling agricultural land to resorts and housing developments, but some small farmers don't want to stop growing food; they just need to figure out which crops will let them earn a living.
I watch as one man expertly zips the machete through the palm trunk, twisting to snap off the log's outer sheath, which falls like parchment paper at his steel-toed shoe. He kicks the curl into a growing stack and picks a few sinewy strands off what's left: the snowy white tube of the tree's heart. He gingerly places this interior section aside on a stainless steel table before reaching for another log.

The palm heart, sawn into pieces and wrapped in clear plastic wrap, will be overnighted to high-end restaurants around Hawaii and mainland America, including to big name chefs like Alan Wong and Colin Hazama in Honolulu and Anita Lo in New York City.
Heart of palm is a vegetable delicacy in many ethnic cuisines. In Thailand, coconut hearts (yod-ma-prao-oon) are dressed in lime juice and peanuts or stewed in curries. In Brazil, the heart of Acai palm, better known for the purple superfood paste made from its fruit, is often tossed into fresh salads with avocado and lime. Native North Americans sometimes ate the heart of Florida's state tree, the sabal palmetto, and canned heart of palm is eaten throughout the continental U.S., although the fresh version is largely unheard of. Even the heart of the date palm, with its yummy profusion of saccharine fruits, is sometimes consumed in northern Africa and the Middle East.
Mike Crowell, co-owner of Wailea Ag, waves us into the dimness of the packing shed. He's got a grizzled gray beard and wears a baseball cap and sunglasses clipped to his collar. The metal walls cast blue shadows on his white t-shirt and the columns of palm hearts in shiny plastic wrap waiting to be packed.
Crowell and his partner, Lesley Hill, founded Wailea Ag in the early 1990s as a diversified farm specializing in exotic tropical fruits, flowers, and spices, a chef's playground of flavors. He leans over a map of the 110-acre farm, color-coded according to crop, his brown finger flicking over gingers, heliconias, durians, citrus, and the palms. My cynical friend and I are actually visiting to see his rare fruit collection, but heart of palm is the farm's economic core. Crowell's 35 acres are the oldest and largest source of American-grown heart of palm.

text: I have noticed since the OTA update that I did, that yes my dialer is working much better. However, since the update I have issues with the mobile network connection (I believe). I ususally have Always-On Mobile set to off, and before this update there were never any problems with apps not being able to connect to the net when needed. After the update, things like Handcent's Speech to Text, Google translator Speech to text, the Weather widget, and other things will show "Connection Problem" try again or cancel. Ive tried again to no avail. I have tried switching to "Always-On mobile networks, to no avail. I am still able to use the apps right after turning on my phone, but it seems after a while of not being used I have the issue. I am able to use the internet when I get the connection error, so it's not like I'm losing signal... Any ideas?

On Tuesday, Clarke County voters demonstrated their desire to ensure our public schools are comfortable, modern and healthy learning environments. Voters approved by a 5,224 to 1,859 margin a measure to renew the schools' 1-percent special-purpose, local-option sales tax for another five years.
The sales tax collections are expected to raise the $75.8 million needed to pay for repairs, renovations and construction projects at all of the county's 13 elementary schools, four middle schools, two high schools as well as other educational facilities. Among the projects this tax will pay for is replacing all of the district's 80 portable classrooms with permanent structures. A sampling of other items on the extensive to-do list includes repairing leaking roofs, updating electrical and heating and cooling systems, replacing old carpeting and furniture and upgrading classroom computer technology.
Nor everyone was in favor of continuing the school sales tax for another five years. Opposition to giving the Clarke County Board of Education any more tax money was expressed in several letters printed on our editorial pages. They argued that, because of past money mismanagement and other questionable actions, the board has lost the trust of taxpayers. Until it can prove otherwise, the board shouldn't be rewarded with more public dollars to spend.
Despite some compelling arguments against the tax renewal, there were numerous reasons why voters supported another round of the school sales tax. No doubt some voters had misgivings about the school board, yet realized that voting against the sales tax would only succeed in denying the county's children adequate schools to attend. Others decided it would be better to use the sales tax to pay for necessary infrastructure improvements instead of adding to the property tax burden already heaped upon residents. For still other voters, in particular those whose polling places are in some of the county's dilapidated and outdated school buildings, the need may have been just too obvious to keep ignoring.
We applaud voters for sending a clear message that they support the county's public schools and believe the physical condition of a school can influence the quality of education it provides. Have no doubt Clarke County's children -- those currently in school as well as the generations to follow -- will be the true beneficiaries of Tuesday's vote.
For people who aren't fans of the current school board yet voted for renewing the tax anyway, we offer special praise. It's not always easy to look beyond the foibles of politicians and do what's right. Despite sharing some of the same concerns, we strongly believe that the school board has taken appropriate steps to correct past mistakes and is working to restore public trust.
The school district has already involved residents in the early stages of determining what repairs, renovations and new additions are needed and where, and it has vowed to maintain citizen oversight and input throughout the life of the sales tax. The district is also hiring professional construction managers to help keep the individual projects on schedule and within budget. It is now up to us -- the media and the public -- to make sure that school officials keep their word.

Martha Henry directs an all-star cast in Shakespeare's beloved comedy Twelfth Night.
Previews begin this Saturday, May 13, and the production opens the Festival's 65th season on Monday, May 29, at the Festival Theatre.
The cast, which Ms Henry calls "one of the greatest casts for this play ever assembled," features Sarah Afful as Viola, Rod Beattie as Malvolio, Brent Carver as Feste, Lucy Peacock as Maria and Geraint Wyn Davies as Sir Toby Belch, with Tom Rooney as Sir Andrew Aguecheek, E.B. Smith as Orsino and Shannon Taylor as Olivia.
"Shakespeare's gently piercing comedy Twelfth Night is such a great play, so singular in its characters, so deeply romantic, so bittersweet in its humour that it's wildly popular," says Ms Henry, "and a number of our gifted cast have been in it before – some multiple times, playing different roles. Yet each time we come back to it, as we are, as the adage points out, amazed to see how much the play has changed since we last took it on."
"As teams go, this one is hard to beat," says Artistic Director Antoni Cimolino. "Here we have one of Shakespeare's most beautiful plays, helmed by the extraordinary Martha Henry, who played Viola early in her Stratford career, and brought to life by a company with remarkable skills and accomplishments. Together, they bring so much heart to this production, and the result is a pure delight."
The creative team includes Designer John Pennoyer, Lighting Designer Louise Guinand, Composer and Sound Designer Reza Jacobs, Fight Director John Stead and Movement Director Valerie Moore.
This production is dedicated to the memory of former Artistic Director Robin Phillips.
Production support is generously provided by Jane Petersen Burfield & family, by Dr. Desta Leavine in memory of Pauline Leavine and by Jack Whiteside.
Support for the 2017 season of the Festival Theatre is generously provided by Daniel Bernstein & Claire Foerster.

This is the first of several blog posts on the advantages of using patient portals that are integrated with electronic health records.
I have previously blogged about how patient portals can change the way lab test results are communicated to patients in our blog titled, "I'm Texting Nobody about Nothin'" — A patient portal changes the way we communicate.
Since the time when I wrote that blog, we have become more interested in how patient self-service can turn traditional workflows into more efficient, revenue enhancing ones. Our motivation — the local frozen yogurt store. Of course the next question is — what does frozen yogurt have to do with EHRs and medical office workflows?
For years my wife and I have visited the local frozen yogurt store for a late night snack. Over the years buying yogurt has become more complicated (just like healthcare). It used to be a choice between vanilla and chocolate – now there are many more flavors and dozens of "add-ins" such as candy, sprinkles, or fruit. The traditional frozen yogurt store's workflow means two lines. One line for the first employee to ask me; what size I want (I usually order a small cup), what flavor I would like, then to dispense the yogurt, add my favorite candy and take the yogurt to the cashier. And, another completely separate line to pay for the yogurt. Sometimes they add just the right amount of candy, but other times I wish they would add a little more. I am not really in control. Other times the line to pay for the yogurt is too long, so it begins to melt before I pay.
A new yogurt store just opened up with a single line, it is based on self-service, and it is putting the old frozen yogurt shop out of business. Here's how it works; they only have one size container – the extra large cup. I walk over to the frozen yogurt machine and fill it with as much yogurt as I want (somehow it is always way more than that small cup I used to order). Then I throw a bunch of candy in and mix it all up. I am in complete control. They weigh it, I pay, and they keep the line moving so my frozen yogurt never melts. Since I usually buy more yogurt than I used to (can anyone resist filling the extra large cup?), the new yogurt store makes more money per person then the old store. I watch the customers — they love doing the work that the employees at the traditional yogurt store used to do.
Change Your Workflow – Reduce Your Overhead and Increase Your Profitability
The new frozen yogurt store has created a win-win situation by changing the traditional workflow to one that involves the consumer. They make more dollars per customer, as they have grown they have had to hire less employees (just cashiers), and the customers love participating in the creation of their own, personalized frozen yogurt snack.
What if we could do this with medical office workflows? What if the patient interacted with the EHR in a way that gave them some control (with supervision) over the content of their health record? Can an EHR company create the same type of win-win that the new frozen yogurt store did? Of course the answer is yes.
With the YourHealthFile® patient portal, many of the tasks performed by the medical team, including the physician, can now be performed at home or at an office kiosk by the patient. Patients love to participate in their healthcare; they want to understand and interact with their personal health record and find new ways to communicate with your medical practice.
The federal government has a keen interest in patient participation in their personal health record. They are pushing healthcare providers to give patient's greater access to their medical records. In fact The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced in September, proposed changes to federal laws that would give patients direct access to laboratory test results without having first to talk with the physicians who ordered the tests. Many physicians are skeptical about that level of empowerment; they are concerned that reporting test results without the context of a doctor's explanation will increase patient concern and erode the physician-patient relationship. Other physicians see more patient empowerment as more work for them. I understand their point of view; physicians play an important role in assisting their patients in processing complex medical information. Just providing data to patients is not the solution to patient empowerment, and it will slow doctors down.
Empower Your Patients Through the YourHealthFile® Patient Portal
Providers need an organized way to empower their patients — they need an online patient portal that promotes self-service and easy interaction between the medical practice and the patient. With the YourHealthFile® patient portal we have found the happy medium of patient self-service and empowerment, with the proper amount of physician supervision and expert advice. We have created the same win-win that our local frozen yogurt store has — a balance that streamlines front office workflow, and actually incorporates patient created chief complaint and medical history data directly into the electronic health record.
Stay tuned for more blogs on the YourHealthFile® patient portal and the concepts and methods we use to promote patient self-service as a way to reduce overhead and increase profitability.

"JWH-018 & Whyteman's Brae"
About: Whytemans Brae Hospital Whytemans Brae Hospital Kirkcaldy KY1 2ND
Posted by Malcy (as ),
Almost two years ago I was admitteded into the secure unit at whyeman's brae as a voluntary patient. I was placed in the care of one of the drs there & also moitored by a Jnr Dr, & a pharmacist.
I had been smoking a research chemical & had got into a drug enduced psychosis, standard drug tests failed to test positive for any known drug metabolites. The substance I had been using prior to my admitance was jwh-018 , a designer drug. Which was at the time completly legal to buy & possess.
I was welcomed by a nurse and a rather large security guard & given cup a coffee. I was quickly through the paperwork and medicated for the night. I then headed off to bed.
I remember the staff being plesent , the on site - indoor smoking room very useful during my stay. I can say the food was basic, however it was regular & the shop was within walking distance , should you be "allowed" to go outside. A very strange feeling indeed, it did keep me safe & stabe at the time in retospect.
The stay lasted around 11 days and was at times scarey , the staff were firm yet fair in dealing with the other patients & myself during my stay.

Yak-52, G-YOTS, 4 November 2004
- From:
- Air Accidents Investigation Branch
- Date of occurrence:
- 4 November 2004
- Aircraft category:
- General aviation - fixed wing
- Report type:
- Bulletin - Pre-1997 uncategorised monthly report
- Aircraft type:
- Yak-52
- Location:
- Southend Airport, Essex
- Registration:
Yak-52, G-YOTS
The pilot was practising aerobatics when a control restriction was felt. The pilot was just able to recover from a 70 degree dive with minimal elevator control in the nose up sense and initiated a diversion to Southend airport. The pilot made a steep approach but was unable to arrest the rate of descent for landing, which was very heavy, after which the restriction cleared. A mobile phone was found in the rear fuselage which had jammed the elevator control quadrant. A barrier, installed in the rear fuselage as a mandatory airworthiness requirement to prevent such an occurrence, was known to be defective for some time. The telephone had been introduced into the cockpit two weeks earlier when the pilot took a passenger flying. As that flight did not include aerobatics, the pilot had not taken any specific precautions to prevent loose articles from entering the aircraft.

Does it seem that more and more people seem to know someone that has Crohns? It's too bad we never get real numbers on the disease and the growth rate.

I don't know anyone in person very well with Crohn's(a few 'friends' here and there), but plenty of my friends have had three or four of their friends diagnosed with it. I know an increasing number of people diagnosed with a range of other autoimmune disorders though. I think it has a lot to do with industrialized, high stress environments, with unhealthy food as the most accessible, and an increase in population density. There are plenty of theories as to the effects in biology, sociology, environmental sociology, and so on, of the kind of environment in which we live. Different regions have different diseases and disorders they deal with.

I can't find anyone my age either, but it does seem like I'm hearing more and more people being diagnosed... both with crohn's and like Mills said - with other freaky autoimmune diseases. Certainly is making ME rethink certain things.

Yeah I'm 25 , I kind of hate going in to the GI or especially the VA hospital and having everyone look at me crazy because I'm under 50 :P It would be nice to have someone around who's my age and gets it. We should find out where everyone lives and start hanging out lol

Unfortunately, I know all too many people who have an IBD, either directly or through friends. On my Husbands softball team alone, 1 player has CD, one has UC, and 2 of us wives have CD, that is in a group of less than 25 or 30 people. My husband is the oldest player, most of the players are in their 20's. I know that more and more older folks are getting DXed, but I was only 13 when I started showing signs and the 3 people I just mentioned are all in their 20's, so I'm not so sure that CD is discriminating.
CD 20 years officially, 30 unofficially. 3 resections '93, '95 '97
Managing with strict low residue diet, keeping symptoms to a minimum. All test show small amount of ulceration, still have occasional blockages. But still have a great time with my 2 daughters and husband!

CD is definitely not discriminating when it comes to age.... I think maybe part of it is that it's harder to talk about
when you're still young and single and such. I know I kept almost everything on the "down-low" until I got married, and now I'm not so worried about
scaring people away (especially a potential mate). Might sound kinda screwy, but I think I'm probably not the only one in or that has gone through that mindset.
I hate the "Medi-CARE" vs "Medic'AID" clarifications I have to give EVERY ONE who looks at my insurance information. They all assume that it SHOULD say medicaid because I'm not even 30 yet, but NO. I have MEDICARE. THE OLD PEOPLE ONE. YES, that's what they call it. Thanks guys. I'm 27 and I have the "OLD PEOPLE" government insurance. Pah. Oh well. I'm happy to have what insurance I have!

At my work two regular customers have CD and 1 girl I work with does. We all seem to have different degrees of the disease, 1 customer has a colostomy bag, the other customer has had several resections and remains unmedicated and the mid 20year old I work with thinks a herbalist has cured her and takes nothing for it!
Im the only medicated one amongst them.

Growing up, my dad was the only person I knew that had Crohn's. It was a mysterious scary disease to me, and he almost died when I was 4 Luckily, I was not aware things were that dire. I remember spending most of the summer with my grandparents, and visiting my dad at the hospital one day for him to say "goodbye" should he not make it through surgery. He made it, and I remained clueless for awhile longer about
Crohn's being such a dreadful disease.
I was diagnosed shortly before my 21st birthday (although I'd been sick since I was 19). I kept it to myself that I had Crohn's, and didn't even tell my new college friends. The ruse was up after a couple years and a big flair. It wasn't a whole lot later then there was a trickle of people who told me they knew someone with Crohn's.
Nowadays, it seems everyone knows a Crohnnie. At my local dog park, I know 3 other women that have it. All of them are in their 50's and have had it a long time.
I've read a theory that the huge increase in autoimmune diseases could be because the last two generations of mom's have bottle fed their babies, were heavily vaccinated, ate a high processed food diet, and were exposed to more environmental toxins. Once generation three came along, they paid the price. If that's the case, then it would seem like a community such as the Amish would not have the huge influx of autoimmune problems. If someone hasn't already done a study on this, they should!

Like you MAG102886 I would love to have someone my age to hangout or date that has crohn's. Tonight I found a profile on myspace that caters to people with crohn's and uc(waiting to be friend). I hoping to find someone in my area that has it.

Many moons ago, when this forum was young and we all knew each other by name and circumstance...
ooh, about
three years ago now....
this topic of how common CD is was thoroughly researched, and it was most illuminating.
Bear in mind that I suffer from bad brain fog, so my figures here may not be correct.
CD was first "discovered" in about
1938 I think it was, and written up in a paper by three doctors. Dr Crohn was the first author's name, so it was called Crohn's Disease - could've been Hasegawoto's Disease or something like that, one of the other docs had a name like that. Phew !
Originally, the average age of diagnosis was 33, and the spread of ages was relatively limited. There were no youngsters in their teens at all, and very few if any old people. The incidence was extremely low. Crohns was seen as similar to tuberculosus, but restricted to the gut.
Fast forward to the late nineties/early twenty first, and the scene is dramatically different.
We now know of Crohn's related problems with the skin, kidneys, gall bladder, lungs, eyes, joints....you name it. Very like tuberculosis, and adding weight to the idea that it is caused by a member of that bacterial family. But many if not virtually all doctors are pretty much ignorant of this; in the UK they totally ignore these symptoms when making a diagnosis. (I tend to have extra-intestinal symptoms, especially when I have a flare; these are dismissed, and my CD diagnosis is considered doubtful. Only GI findings are used.)
Scottish/Irish ancestry is now often considered a "sine qua non" (necessity) for having Crohn's Disease, the genes having originally come from a particular part of Ireland with the Celts.
There are infants
being diagnosed with Crohns, children and teenagers are now an accepted and regularly diagnosed part of the CD population, and old people who have had it all their lives, as well as those who have just developed problems, are now being diagnosed. If I remember correctly, the average age of diagnosis is now in the low 20s. Incidence, the last figure I heard was 600 000 in the USA alone, which would make it...well, you do the math, I wasn't kidding about
the brain fog !
Canada has if anything an even higher ratio of CD diagnoses, probably due to the very organised GI system they have; they actually have support groups for CD sufferers built into their therapy, can you imagine ? You get diagnosed, and you immediately get contacted by a support group, and get help with financial, work and school related issues !
Scotland, in particular the North East (that's me) and Tel Aviv in Israel, are the world capitals for Crohns Disease. This is reckoned to be because the genes that predispose towards it are particularly prevalent there. In my case, I must have Irish blood, that's where the Scots get them; in Israel, it is the Ashken*zi sect who have a particularly high incidence, no doubt due to religious tenets preventing dilution of genes. Kind of like the opposite of the Amish idea !
There's a theory that MAP, or something like it, is present in the soil of both Israel and North East Scotland, and that's why we have so many cases. But the more I read about
genes, and epigenetic changes (where inert genes get switched on by environmental triggers like infection or chemicals like pesticides, then the switched on genes get passed down to following generations) and the more I find out about
the chemicals we are surrounded by, the more I am convinced that it is very much started by a whole host of causes, some causing one permanent change and then others causing the actual real Crohns. Rather like the two step process that causes cancer.
I'm kind of lucky in Aberdeen. If I say to anyone local here, "I have Crohns", they always know what it is, usually because they already know someone who has it. Maybe a friend of a friend, but it is endemic here. But support is pretty thin on the ground, and the support groups are more about
raising funds for research as far as I can see. I don't know any Crohnies "in the flesh".
The Amish are extensively studied - I sometimes wonder how they manage to live, they must have so much blood drawn off ! - but I don't know of any research done on them regarding CD. As they mainly are descended from Germanic or Scandinavian stock, you wouldn't ecpect them to have the genes associated with CD and UC.
Oops, sorry guys, did I just write an essay ?

I read online somewhere that close to 68% of patients who go to their general practioner complaining of frequent diarrhea are automatically given a diagnosis of IBS based solely on the complaining symptoms. No tests are done because, according to this that I read, many doctors want to get patients in and out fast and many also don't have a CLUE about
Crohn's Disease so their brain doesn't even consider it. Some doctors/nurses have never even heard of CD.
That's what happened to me...I was originally diagnosed with IBS, too...by my uncle, a doctor specializing in pain managment for over 40 years. It took me saying, "my diarrhea is waking me up every hour of the night" for him to get me an appointment with a GI. I assumed my uncle was right about
the IBS so I just dealt with the symptoms for several years.
Diagnosed in October, 2004 at age 32.
Current Rx's
: Colazal (generic), Nexium (generic), Ferrous Sulfate, Librax, One-A-Day multivitamin, Probiotic, Omega-3 Fish Oil, Vitamin D, Vitamin A, Calcium-Magnesium-Zinc, Cranberry pills, Chromium Picolinate

I was also diagnosed with IBS from the first doctor I went to.
snohare-thank you for posting that :) It was very interesting. I have Scottish ancestry and my ancestors there did something naughty so got kicked out to Ireland(sometime after Queen Mary Stuart which is where our family's book traces blood to).
Hm...I wonder about
certain environmental factors like pesticides too though...nine people were tested at the Mount Sinai hospital for chemicals that don't naturally occur in the body just as a 'let's see what we find' study and 53 chemicals related to gastrointestinal problems were found to be in them. Albeit, in trace amounts, but research has shown that even those small amounts can make a huge difference.
Didn't mean to go off there.
I agree with everyone else about
finding more in the flesh to relate with.

My first doctor diagnosed me with depression and said I needed counseling. A couple years later, I went to an allergist, thinking my gut problems could be allergy related, and he diagnosed me as anorexic and said my parents should institutionalize me
(he based his diagnosis on the fact that I had dropped to 85 pounds). Not long after that I saw a good doctor who actually listened to me, and he got me into a GI the very next day. One colonscopy later and I was diagnosed with Crohn's. My mom wrote a nasty gram to each of the other two inept doctors lambasting them for their lousy diagnostic skills. I wasted 2 years of my life suffering because they didn't take my symptoms seriously

I had flu like symptoms. I was 13 when it all started. I went from 168 to 123 in two months. I slept on my knees because it hurted to lay or sit down. I was throwing up water because it burned like acid.The first doctor I went gave me 3 meds to help with pain, nausea, and diarhea. He told my mom to take me to the ER so I can find a doctor if I didn't get better. The doctors did a colonscopy, lots of blood tests, x-rays, ultrasounds, catscans. I was diagnosed with an ucler, then Inflammtory Bowel Syndrome, then Crohn's. It started in Oct '00, went to first doc in Jan '01. I went to ER in April '01 and had first colonscopy in June '01. I was fully diagnosed in August or September '01(age 14). For some reason I just remember in the 4th grade I went to the ER because I was constipated. It is hard for me to stay on topic

I hate for anyone to suffer with this disease, but at the same time I am glad that there are enough of us who can relate to each other. It would be so lonely otherwise.

US OPEN 2012: How the odds have changedJune 15, 2012 Golf News
The movers and shakers following round one of the 2012 US Open…
In an opening round that saw many of the favourites fall out of contention for the US Open title, bookmakers all over the world were rapidly re-assessing their odds ahead of the second round, which begins this afternoon.
So how exactly has the first day's action affected the prices, and where should you put your money now?
Luke Donald (Yesterday: 12/1; Today: 150/1)
To call Donald's opening round at Olympic a disaster could be considered an understatement. The World No 1 finished nine over and, in one round, has all but blown his chances of winning. The Englishman was well fancied at 12/1 but today can be backed at 150/1. Pray for a miracle if you're expecting Donald to make you any money this week.
Tiger Woods (Yesterday: 8/1; Today: 5/2)
The pre tournament favourite is still the man to beat.
Before the tournament Tiger's odds sat at around 8/1, but following a thrilling one-under par round yesterday his odds have shortened to 5/2. Backing the former champion from here onwards won't make you millions without a sizable stake, but it is very hard to see Woods dropping away completely so any bet should hold through the tournament and see a good chance of a return.
Michael Thompson (Yesterday: 500/1; Today: 25/1)
Anybody who was brave enough to back Thompson before the tournament must be feeling very happy this morning. The unknown American is three shots in front of the field after a wonderful opening round yesterday. Few will back him to keep this form over four days but even so the odds have shortened massively.
Matt Kuchar (Yesterday: 28/1; Today: 12/1)
Kuchar is my tip for the tournament and someone who still represents good value for money at 12/1. He played extremely well yesterday to finish level par and will grow in confidence as the tournament progresses. With a £5 stake potentially bringing a £60 return, the Players' champion is someone who is still worth considering putting your money behind.
Ian Poulter (Yesterday: 66/1; Today: 25/1)
Poulter is someone who always strikes me as a 'nearly man', but to finish level par yesterday proved that he is more than capable of cutting it at the US Open this year. The Englishman represented long odds yesterday and even with dramatic shortening today still represents a good price for anyone fancying a slight gamble. A daring, bold golfer might be the kind of player to triumph this week, and out of all those at the top of the field, Poulter is as daring and bold as any.
Justin Rose (Yesterday: 25/1; Today: 17/2)
After carding a round of one under to finish tied for second after the opening salvo, Justin Rose described playing the Olympic Course as 'sadistic fun'. However the bookies make him second favourite now behind Woods and he still offers a good return at 17/2.
Lee Westwood (Yesterday: 12/1; Today: 18/1)
A first round card of three over par means that Westwood has just about done enough to remain in contention, but it will be hard work from here. Still searching for that elusive first major, prices today have slipped to 18/1. Personally not a favoured option for me but has won tournaments before coming back from behind. 18/1 is a much more reflective price of Westwood's chances.

Nike Zoom Pegasus 33 Review
We loved the Nike Pegasus 32 and were excited to get our feet in the Pegasus 33. Nike did not disappoint with this update.
The Good
Thomas: The Pegasus 33 doesn't look that different from the 32. Basically, it has a cleaner more streamlined appearance. Nike added some reflective elements to the heel of the shoe that are pretty slick and nearly undetectable. Once light hits 3m material and it reflects back at you (retroreflection) the heel of the shoe lights up. Retroflection is a word, trust me I looked it up.
The fit of the 33 is perfect on my narrow foot and can accommodate wider feet as well. The lacing allows for lots of foot shapes. I have experienced no heel lift in the Pegasus. The collar and heel counter is comfy and isn't too over built, unlike some shoe models that use puffy materials making up for poor design. I had no problems with hot spots or rubbing.
I really enjoyed the addition of the extra Zoom Air unit in the forefoot of the Nike Pegasus 33. It is the most noticeable update of the Pegasus. The extra Zoom Air gives the shoe a nice pop under the ball of your foot. The Zoom Air unit made the shoe more stable too. Just so you aren't confused, the extra Zoom made a shoe I already liked even better. WTF is Nike Zoom Air?
The midsole is a near perfect balance of firm and cushioned protection. You are served up a soft landing without being squishy. Even after a 15-mile run, I wasn't itching to get out of the Peg 33 when I got home. That is some comfort for you. The outsole has lots of grip and feels smooth on the run. The Pegasus 33 has bite with the outsole rubber compound, giving you the confidence to step up the pace during your workouts.
So great personality… how does she look? The Pegasus 33 is a beauty. This is a daily trainer that still looks sexy. All the curves are in the right place. If you want to get wild you can go to Nike ID and build your own with lots of choices to make your pair suit your preferences. Otherwise, head over to Running Warehouse and choose from the Nike stock colors. At $110 the 33 is a good looking, durable, well built daily trainer. With over 50 miles in the Peg before writing this review, I have found no wear and tear worth mentioning.
Meaghan: The Nike Pegasus is a staple. It's an everyday trainer that's great for slow days, fast days and even long distances. The upper is designed with Nike's Flywire cables that hold the foot in place nicely. It's a sock-like fit. It also breathes particularly well for the 95-degree-omg-so-humid weather in Baltimore. The feel underfoot hasn't changed much. It's a really nice balance of firm and squish. Nike added a Zoom Air unit to the forefoot of this shoe, in addition to the heel. It feels similar to the 32, but with a little more bounce. I like it. The outsole provides plenty of traction and durability. After 50+ miles I haven't seen much wear.
The Bad
Thomas: I would really have to look for something. I am struggling to find a fault with the Pegasus 33. I guess I will go with the fact it would make for a terrible track spike.
Meaghan: I don't love the laces. The lacing system works, but the thick round laces came untied on several of my runs. I could also use a wider toebox. I like the snug fit through the midfoot, but my toes would prefer some room to breathe. Lastly, they're a little on the heavier side. I would love it if Nike could scrape an ounce off of the Pegasus (my W7.5 weigh 8.5oz).
The Conclusion
Thomas: If I could only have one running shoe the Nike Pegasus 33 would be it. The Nike Pegasus in a size 10.5 weighs in on our scales at 10.5 oz. and has a 10mm drop.
Meaghan: The Nike Pegasus 33 is a great daily trainer. I would consider this shoe on the same playing field as the Saucony Ride. It's a solid, versatile neutral trainer. You won't find me racing in the Pegasus 33, but it will certainly stay in my summer rotation.

[NEWS RECAP] 170404 Kim Jaejoong Visits Fan In Coma At Hospital
Note: News of Jaejoong's visit and donation to the fan and her family were done in secret** that even his own agency initially didn't know the exact amount of his donation. The news was revealed via SNS in Thailand, that was then reported by local Thai media then the Korean media.
**We're posting this to share facts in case any misinformation spread regarding the revelation of Jaejoong's good deed.
KBS Morning News Report Excerpt (Via @crystalmoon0213):
– Kim Jaejoong's good deed came to be known via Thailand SNS photo, then local media reported it
– The patient is an avid fan of Kim Jaejoong. She has been attending his concerts
– He visited her at the hospital as soon as he returned from an overseas concert and donated 20 million won (US$18,000)
– Kim Jaejoong reportedly said "My heart ached because my fan was in adifficult situation. I just wanted to help"
JYJ Kim Jaejoong visited a fan in currently hospitalized in critical condition
The article below appeared on the Thai magazine The Bridges Magazine (Translated by Lookkaew_SK)
Kim Jaejoong (JYJ) visited Ms. Raphiphorn Nasaarn, nicknamed Min, who is still in critical condition yesterday at a hospital in South Korea. Jaejoong held her hands and prayed for her quick recovery. He donated 20 million won (approximately 650,000 THB) to her father, Mr. Theerapong Nasaarn, and visited her at the hospital for 20 minutes.
Min likes k-pop and is an avid fan of JYJ, especially Kim Jaejoong. When Jaejoong held a concert in Bangkok last March, she also attended. Kim Jaejoong heard of the news about one of his fans who collapsed and fell into a coma while traveling in South Korea from a Thai friend and from Korean Entertainment Management Association. He visited her the day after he flew back from the Taiwan stop of his Asia tour concert.
According to Mr. Lee Ilwoo, the director of Korea Entertainment Management Association who made the visit with Jaejoong, he said that Kim Jaejoong and his fellow JYJ members did not want to let the Korean press/reporters know of the visit. Mr. Lee expressed that Kim Jaejoong said, "It's possible for him become a singer because of his fans". He also said without his fans, he wouldn't be where he is today. He said 'I just wanted to help my fan. That's all'".
Kim Jaejoong took a photo with her and told her father to please give the photo to his daughter when she regains consciousness.

The Studio Behind Bloodrayne And Kinect Star Wars Is No More
Nineteen-year-old independent video game studio Terminal Reality, most recently responsible for The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct and Kinect Star Wars, appears to have shut down.
Nineteen-year-old independent video game studio Terminal Reality, most recently responsible for The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct and Kinect Star Wars, appears to have shut down.
It pleases me to know that despite the shiny circular piece of crap inside every copy of Kinect Star Wars, there's still a place where the folks responsible for the brilliant "Girl Vader" short can feel like the winners they really are.
Internet personality and brave gamer JonTron plays through yet another terrible game for your amusement.
This time, it's a game release many Star Wars fans have feared. Probably the most terrifying aspect of the game is the dancing, which we so lovingly made these ridiculous GIFs of so that you can relive those…
Welcome to "Backhanded Box Quotes," a collection of super pissed-off user reviews from people just like you! Whoa, whoa, don't take that personal.
Not much to tackle this week, but in video games, there is always something to complain about. Let's look at a couple of games, one not everyone loved, and another just…
Kinect Star Wars is not the world's greatest new video game. I've said as much in my review.
We don't know how many Bothans died to bring us Kinect Star Wars, but we know that a hell of a lot of people worked on the game. For a couple of years, at least.
The dancing in Star Wars: Kinect is admittedly quite silly to say the least. But you don't need to chalk this latest Star Wars-branded product up to a scar on your childhood memories.
It's been popular for far too long to complain about Star Wars. I'm sick of it, because it all sounds to me like a bunch of old people complaining about kids these days.
If you know how to use the Internet, you will have little trouble finding people who will tell you that Kinect Star Wars is a bad video game. These people are correct. The combination of one popular thing (Star Wars!) with another popular thing (the magical hands-free Xbox 360 Kinect sensor!) has resulted in one foul…
We're just a week away from the April 3 launch of Kinect Star Wars, the game you get when you buy that sexy new Star Wars Xbox 360 bundle. While my hopes aren't particularly high for the game, at least it gives pretending to Force Choke someone important context.
Ignore the podracing and dueling portions of this Kinect Star Wars video and jump directly to around :50 in the video. I probably should have apologized first. Too late now.
On a chilly afternoon this past weekend, well over 100 people waited in line in Akihabara to see Microsoft's "Xbox 360 Kansyasai in Akiba" (Xbox 360 Festival of Thanks in Akihabara). The event was a joint effort between Microsoft and Capcom, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Japanese release of the original…
It's going to take a hell of a turnaround to get me to change my tune on Kinect Star Wars. Yeah, Totilo said the game's improved over what I played at E3, but, come on, a dancing game? I mean, how stupid is that. Do I look like a guy who wants to—
This Darth Vader may not have James Earl Jones's wicked baritone or David Prowse's imposing height (nor even Hayden Christensen's adolescent whine), but the evil overlord skills on display simply cannot be denied. It just goes to show: there's a little force-wielding maniac in all of us.
Those rumors about an April debut for the Kinect Star Wars game—and the fancy console associated with it—have turned out to be true. Xbox exec Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb confirmed an April 3rd date on Twitter and an official press release cites a $450 price for a console + Kinect + game bundle.
Parks & Recreation and Moneyball star Chris Pratt's turn as a micheivious Obi-Wan in this commercial for Kinect Star Wars does not make me want the game. It does, however, make me to hang out with Christ Pratt.
Hey, so the ESRB released its ratings certificate for Kinect Star Wars, let's read along: "In this action game, based on the Star Wars universe," mmhm, yeah, "players use their body movements to perform activities," right, gotcha, "that include dance tournaments—"
We played Kinect Star Wars a couple of times last month at E3. Our own Owen Good wasn't impressed. Neither was Brian Crecente. I got my chance this week and shot some video to give you an extra look at the game.
I didn't give Brooks Brown, Lucast Arts community manager, much time to dig into the Kinect-enabled Star Wars game before I began peppering him with questions.
For as long as brothers have swatted one another with wrapping-paper tubes, Star Wars fans have wanted something, anything, to give them the sensation of wielding a lightsaber, repelling blaster fire and cutting down Stormtroopers in a streak of blue.

Atlanta may be getting all hip-hop-related props lately, especially after hosting last week's Billboard Awards, but locally an effort is under way to put Savannah on the Southern rap map as well.
The first-ever C-Port Music Fest is a chance for Savannah's own hip-hop artists to muscle their way out of "opening act" status into "headliner" territory.
The 18-and-older event opens its doors at 10 p.m. Saturday at Club Oz. On the bill are five local acts: HellaFlow, Lil Shife, Double Barrell, Twice and M-G-G. The evening also features a multimedia homage to slain rapper Camoflauge.
Charles Young, founder of hip-hop record label Broken Records, organized the event as a way to spotlight homegrown talent and foster communication between the artists.
"These acts are always opening for other visiting artists, and we wanted to provide a place that highlights the talent already in the city," he said. "Everyone's doing their thing, but no one is collaborating on ideas, songs or with other artists."

Thank you all for your warm wishes, congratulations and support the last few weeks! I am SO thrilled to be finished with university and on to the next adventure. I took a little time off during my exams and then after graduation for a mini California vacation with dear friends, and it was so refreshing! I'm back to business as usual now – with tons of fun summer outfits, adventures and DIYs planned – and I look forward to sharing the summer with all of you!
First, here are a few {Insta} photos from my life post-graduation…
{My graduation party: filled with sparklers, twinkling lights, and wonderful friends}
{During which we enjoyed homemade hard lemonade in personalized mason jars}
{Just for fun, I also jazzed up a pair of heels with my favorite glitter}
{Then I headed south with four Danes and my brother. First stop: San Francisco & Chinatown!}
{In San Francisco I also met up with Jen and Rebekka – members of the #glamgang! – for shopping, cheap beers and lots of gossip! The above photo is stolen from Jen – this dollar now hangs in a sleazy bar near Union Square!}
{I also tried bubble tea for the first time. Verdict: fresh watermelon is delish!}
{And of course I acted like a tourist with my awesome brother on Lombard Street!}
{Then I received the exciting news that I am now officially a member of the Lucky Style Collective!}
{And watched the sun set in Malibu before taking a very long journey home to Oregon by train}
{I also had my first Shellac manicure – LOVE it – and played dress up for dinner and cocktails}
I'm spending the next few weeks in my hometown, where I will be packing up and preparing for my move back to Copenhagen in July! Since I have to fit my belongings into a few suitcases, you can expect a big closet sale up here on the blog soon!
Thank you again loves – for everything! I had a lovely break, and I'm so happy to be back.

Your simply amazing…. xxxx
Congrats on the Lucky Style Collective! So cool!
I love our dolla dolla bill! Haha, did we ever figure out the name of that bar? Not like it matters, because I'm sure fate will at one point or another lead us back to that place.
Congrats again on school and Style Collective. You're amazing and I'm so happy to see such wonderful things happening for you already in this brand new chapter of your life. I am so lucky to call you a new and dear friend!
Congrats on the opportunity with Lucky! 🙂

Offensive tackle Sam Young (6-foot-8, 295 pounds) from St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., has verbally committed to Notre Dame.
Haubert's take: Coach Charlie Weis just put the exclamation point on what has been a very good year for the Irish. With the commitment of ESPN's No. 2 rated offensive tackle Sam Young, the Irish just made a great addition to their offensive line and their 2006 class in general.

(Amman, December 23, 2004) — Jordan's charging of a political activist with slander is intended to chill legitimate political debate, Human Rights Watch said today. A judge in Amman charged activist Ali Hattar on Tuesday with violating article 191 of the Jordanian Penal Code, which provides criminal penalties for the "slander" of Jordanian government officials.
"Yet again, the Jordanian government is using the vague wording of its penal code to crack down on free speech," said Sarah Leah Whitson, executive director of Human Rights Watch's Middle East and North Africa Division. "These charges fly in the face of the government's pledges to reform the political system and protect basic freedoms for Jordanian citizens."
Hattar is a Jordanian engineer and political activist. In his lecture, he criticized the U.S administration's policies and its support of Israel, and called for boycotting American goods and companies. Hattar is a member of the banned Anti-Normalization Committee, a group opposed to U.S. and Israeli policies. The group organized the lecture at the headquarters of the Professionals Association.
While the government has pledged to ease restrictions on political freedom as part of its ambitious plans for reform, Human Rights Watch said the government has failed to amend the laws it relies on to restrict freedom of expression. In addition to the article 191 on slander against government officials, the Penal Code attaches a two-year prison sentence for anyone convicted of making statements that are found to "endanger the country's relations with foreign states…, [or] defame heads, presidents or kings of foreign states."
The Johannesburg Principles on National Security, Freedom of Expression and Access to Information (1995), which are based on international human rights law and standards, provides that "No one may be punished for criticizing or insulting the nation, the state or its symbols, the government, its agencies, or public officials, or a foreign nation, state or its symbols, government, agency."
Jordanian officials have used criminal defamation laws to censor writers in the past. In May of this year, police officials detained Fahd al-Rimawi, editor of the weekly Al-Majd newspaper, for three days, and charged him with violating Article 118 of the Penal Code for "harming relations with a brotherly country," in that case, Saudi Arabia.
"Jordanians should be free to speak out on public issues without threat of government persecution," said Whitson. "The current laws don't let them."
Human Rights Watch called on the Jordanian government to drop the charges against Hattar immediately. Jordan should also eliminate criminal penalties for defamation, including slander, in cases that do not involve direct and immediate incitement to acts of violence, discrimination or hostility, Human Rights Watch said.
