At last - a third row I don't have to sneer or curse at.
I could actually envision sitting for a while as a steerage passenger in the all-new Ford Expedition; for openers, I could get back there without risking a week in physical therapy.
Some of the mid-size SUVs claim 8-passenger seating, but it would help if the lowliest 2 or 3 passengers were infants - and then there's the question of Mom being able to get back there to secure them (you don't think Dad would ever get such a dirty job, do you?).
It helped that the Expedition I tested was blessed with second-row captain's chairs, which allow a walk-through passage to third class. But even if you need all nine seating positions, you'll appreciate the fold-down, 40-20-40 configuration of the second row, plus, the middle section can be slid forward 11 inches to allow the flight deck easy access to one of the prisoners.
If you're willing to spend a little options money, you can even have power-folding third-row seats. This struck me as a bit much, but, for $455, makes a talking point as sure to inspire schoolyard envy as power sliding doors on a van.
So I'm ready to stipulate this is a commodious people hauler, but it's not a minivan, it's called a full-size SUV. How does it do in that role?
First, I must note that Expedition is available as a two-wheel-drive machine. Are you SURE you wouldn't rather have a minivan? Less weight, far better gas mileage, cheaper to buy . . . but of course freighted with that "suburbanite" stigma. The discussion here will be of the "real" Expedition, the 4x4.
Truth is, it's probably a lot more capable than it needs to be. Given its size - nearly 206 inches long and pushing three tons - it's not likely to blaze many trails, unless it's sent ahead as a tree-leveler. More likely it'll be used as a mommy-mobile and weekend boat-dragger. When rough weather comes, Expedition folks will be able to laugh it off.
The one Ford sent down as a tester was as luxe as they come, an Eddie Bauer edition with a few goodies on top of that. There are two engine choices, both V-8s: an all-aluminum 4.6-liter and the aluminum-over-cast iron 5.4-liter. Either one has a single overhead cam and but two valves per cylinder, since they're tuned for low-end torque rather than top-end horsepower.
The smaller engine delivers 232 hp and 291 foot-pounds of torque. The bigger one puts out 260 horses and 350 foot-pounds. I imagine the 4.6 would be fine for those who seldom carry full loads and don't tow. The test machine had the 5.4, and, carrying only me - a small load in this context - felt reasonably swift.
With the larger engine, the Expedition is rated to tow up to 8,650 pounds as a 4x4. That's a pretty decent boat.
The 5.4 would be my choice, even though it carries a slight mileage penalty. EPA numbers for the smaller engine are 14 mpg city, 18 highway. The 5.4 matches the city number and is rated at 17 mpg on the highway. Bot h are designed to run fine on regular unleaded.
Good thing - in my real-world exercises, the big hoss gulped it down at the rate of a gallon every 12.4 miles in an equal mix of freeway and country driving, some of it admittedly a little intense. The engine was a little green, perhaps, but with a curb weight of 5,686 pounds and typically poor aerodynamics (0.41 coefficient of drag), this serious piece of work isn't out to help the corporate average fuel economy.
The interior was quite handsomely done. Eddie Bauer packages upgrade almost everything in sight to a near-luxury level. The leather seats even had a pleasant aroma. Ride quality, with just the ballast behind the wheel, was exceptionally fine for a truck, and would be quite acceptable in a sedan. Taking some undulant surfaces quite fast, I could feel just a trace of high-frequency jiggle, which would almost certainly disappear with more weight on board.
On freeway-type surfaces, the ride was excellent, with fine road-shock exclusion. More surprising was how quiet the Expedition was, even at 70 mph. The cabin is effectively isolated from all the mechanicals, and moreover, even keeps wind noise at bay. For this new-edition Expedition, Ford claims a 70 percent improvement in torsional rigidity, or frame twist. Bottom line is the bruiser felt rock-solid, even when pounding rocks.
There's the equivalent of a huge car trunk behind the third row: 20 cubic feet. By dispensing with all the second- and third-row seats, you can make a 110-cubic-foot cavern. There are many permutations along the way, of course.
Handling was excellent. The steering felt a bit light and a bit fast for this type of vehicle, but on-center feel was good.
It's hard to know how much credit to give to the chassis engineers and how much to silicon. The test ship was equipped with the optional AdvanceTrak stability-enhancing system. Like others of its kind, it is programmed to anticipate when one or more wheels are about to lose traction, either because of slick surface or an over-exuberant driver. It does this by stabbing the brake on the wheel that's losing it.
I tested it in a wide-open area on a night when, happily, there was some sleet falling. The system worked its magic forcefully but unobtrusively, overruling the inappropriate requests my right foot was making. In severe collision-avoidance maneuvers, the Expedition leaned a bit but never lost its cool. The drivetrain is manipulated by a switch on the dash - unfortunately hidden by the steering wheel. For economy, on good roads, one can select 2WD, which totally disengages the front drive mechanism. Ford says this is worth about half a mile per gallon - I'd be more interested in the reduced wear and tear.
The second option is all-wheel drive, which can be used at any time. There's also a 4-wheel High position, which locks front and rear axles together for seriously rough slogging, and a 4-wheel Low, useful for either shouldering a heavy load or creeping down a low-traction surface.
I found a stretch down at the old gravel pit that looked pretty treacherous - sodden clay. Pulling onto it in 2WD, I was soon immobilized. A flip of the switch to AWD sufficed to extricate the three-ton load quite amusingly, as power flowed from front to rear and side to side under the guidance of the Unseen Hand. I'm not quite nuts enough to seek out a bog for testing 4 High or Low.
Brakes are an issue with this much mass, and the ones fitted to the truck at hand are up to their duty. They're discs front and rear, with standard antilock and also brake assist, the new technology that senses an unusually fast depression of the brake pedal and goes into full braking milliseconds faster than normally would be achieved. In simulated panic stops from 70, stopping distances were agreeably short, with no fuss.
The government has not yet releas ed crash-test results for the new Expedition, but Ford says it's confident it will equal the predecessor's performance: top marks (five stars) for driver and co-pilot protection in a 35-mph full frontal collision.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has not tested an Expedition.
An issue with SUVs in general is their tendency to roll, because their center of gravity is high. Ford offers as an option a side-curtain air bag system which, unlike the ones up front, fires, then keeps the bags inflated for several seconds when its sensors tell it the vehicle is going into a roll.
Base price on the Eddie Bauer 4x4 is $41,195. AdvanceTrak is $795; power folding third-row seat, $455; climate-controlled seats, $625. Total, with freight, was $43,810. Four-wheel-drive Expeditions start at $33,965 for a much more austere value edition. Price-tracker Edmunds.com brings these words of joy: an Eddie Bauer 4x4 is typically going for about five grand off sticker, so be ready to bargain hard. Payments at the nominal price of the tester would be $1,01, assuming 20 percent down, 10 percent interest and 48 coupons.

Most of the job applicants are well versed with the purpose of a resume. No second thought, the purpose of a resume is to fetch the applicants a call from the recruiting team. So, serious job applicants pay supreme attention to detail. They try their hands, rack their brains and come up with the best draft of a potential resume. The traditional methods of hiring and filtering candidates may not yield substantial results. With the constantly evolving trends and corporate drifts, recruiters have to look beyond resume to hire potential employees. Here are a few ways to look beyond resume to hire employees for your startup:
- Pay attention to their online presence:
While it is not uncommon for many job applicants to have LinkedIn profiles, it is uncommon for them to be active on social media channels such as Facebook and twitter. Also, check if they are active members of any groups or communities. For example, if you are looking for a Malware analyst, scout out the various groups and communities in which the candidate/applicant is active. However, do not filter the applicants based on their online presence. It is like taking a dip in icy water.
- Academic and non-academic:
As per a survey, more than 75% of the truly deserving applicants work as part timers to add some vigor to their pittance. One can clearly discover that the part time jobs are in no way related to their academic pursuits. Some work as tuition teachers while a few work as content developers. So, there is something appreciable beyond the well drafted resumes. Applicants with part time pursuits master time management skills and decision making skills. So, it is better for the recruiters to include a separate section in the job application to comprehend the part time pursuits of the applicants.
- Do away with the traditional interview:
To many recruiters, interview is something associated with an applicant's resume, a few hypothetical questions, formal conversations, a book and a pen. Rather than asking the same age old traditional questions, ask something out of the blue. Ask the applicant about his/her source of motivation. Dive into the details of his/her visionary views. Examine his/her ability to meet deadlines. Ask the applicant to be more specific about his/her perspectives on various relevant topics.
- Hands-on:
Before selecting any potential applicant, assign a mini-project or a task. Do not be too judgmental but assess his quest for learning. Prod into action and give him a piece of advice. If he turns out to be a quick learner, he is the desired guy. So, hands-on assessment and training evince better results.
- Qualities to look for:
Any potential job seeker who has the right blend of talent, positive outlook, accountability and entrepreneurial spirit should be hired. It is important for the recruiters to hire applicants who are willing to work for a long term. So, devise your hiring strategies accordingly.
So, the next time you are thinking about recruiting or hiring candidates, think beyond the traditional ways and look beyond the resume.

As you may know already, Johan de Nysschen resigned as president of Audi of America on 4th of June as he joined Infiniti as its senior vice president. As a result, Audi of America named Scott Keogh as its new president. Keogh was, for six years, Chief Marketing Officer at Audi of America and according to the official press release he was the man that led all product planning for the U.S. market.
Moreover, Keogh was the man that helped steer the introduction of Audi TDI clean diesel technology to the U.S. market. He also developed a strategy to re-introduce the RS performance models in the United States, including the RS 5 coupe that will arrive later this year.
"We see exceptional growth opportunity in the U.S. market as we continue moving toward our goal of positioning Audi as the leading luxury automotive brand in the world by 2020," said Rupert Stadler, AUDI AG Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Gains in the U.S. are truly a strategic pillar for the brand and we are confident that the leadership provided by Scott Keogh will continue the momentum at Audi of America."

Ever since I tried the Sunplay SPF130 & loved it, I vowed never to use anything but Japanese sunscreens again. This brand debuted in my country last year & I wanted to try it to see if it's as good (or better) as Sunplay. I got the Water Essence SPF50 variant in the blue tube to use as my everyday sunblock for the body, as I use the SKII SPF25 FT moisturizer for my face & it does its job well. Here are my thoughts:
*The consistency is a bit thicker than Sunplay. Still spreads evenly & easily, though.
*It has a slight citrusy scent, I like citrus scents so it doesn't bother me.
*Doesn't emphasize any dry spots on my arms nor does it cause any flakiness.
*The SPF50 is good enough to prevent me from any tanning/burning. I often walk under the hot, tropical sun for prolonged periods of time & I'm still pale and even-toned!
*I've tried using it on my face during a trip to the beach and it didn't turn me into a greaseball or break me out.
*My only gripes: It's a bit expensive and this variant I like is not readily available in my country.
Overall, a product I'd recommend and repurchase.

My review is for Sunkiller - Super Block Skintone Spf 50 PA +++. I found this at a local Japanese store where I live and I have to say, before using European ss, I was totally in love with Japanese ss (I switched to Euro because of better ppd). I wanted to try this since I thought it would work just as well as Kose. Boy was I wrong. It was way too liquidy and it made me look too oily, more oily than LRP Fluide Extreme. My suggestion is that, if you really want to try this brand, get the water resistant one. It might work for you better.

MY HG for sunscreens, i use the Gel spf25 one for moderate exposure, and the clear water spf50pa+++ one when i'm outdoors. I've dry skin that is sensitive and easily clogged.this is one of the very few sunscreens out there that does not clog my pores. these suit oily skins too, but powder-in-milk is better for oilier skin as compared with clear water. Light non greasy, very watery, spreadable and great makeup base. Compared to La roche posay, LRP's sunscreen Clogs MAJORLY. i also went to see a derm about high ppd sunscreens and he said that Unless i'm someone who spend many hours in the sun daily, sunkiller is sufficient. luckily its widely availible here as well :D cheap too! p.s as this adheres to skin and stays on very well, u would need a strong cleanser to removed it, i use mac cleanse off or sunkiller make off gel

I have this sunscreen in Powder Milk SPF 50+. I think it is ok but I am not much impressed. The formula is light and is effective in controling oil. However, it is probably too dry for me since I have dry skin. I heard from my friends who use this sunscreen that it tends to clog pore if I do not wash it very well. Therefore, I do not have any break out problem as I wash it off with Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil and follow with Cetaphil cleanser. I do not know about the protection power of the sunscreen but for some reasons, I do not feel there is enough protection for outdoor activities.

The ONLY sunscreen that does not leave an oily film on my face. It has a light watery texture but don't let this fool you. It keeps my skin hydrated and moisturized the whole day without the thick greasy feel of most sunscreens. It also has a high SPF (50+) which is great for summer.
Sunkiller (Kiss Me - Kireiheda) has a wide variety of sunblocks to choose from. My personal favorite is the Soft-Focus Clear Skin because it contains iridescent pearls which gives skin a soft glow ... plus it's an almost-nude beige color so it evens out skin tone. You get the benefits of a tinted moisturizer and powerful sunblock all in one product.

I don't recommend it if you're highly exposed to sunlight (because of the presumed PPD rating and photostablity factor). Other than that it is great for going to the office or for minimal sun exposure. The texture is very light and non-greasy.

I am using the Powder-In-Milk type of sunscreen and loving it. I have bought it 3 times over!! It leaves my skin feeling smooth and matte. Sometimes it dries out the skin below my nose but that is nothing for me, because I have been using oily, greasy sunscreens for as long as I can remember. I am in Japan where the weather is slightly humid, so maybe that is why this sunscreen suits me right now. Must make sure to shake the bottle before using! I agree, the price is a little high for the small amount you get (about 500 yen for 26 mls)

Despite their high protection rating, Sunkiller's series of suncreen are all really light and leave a nice matt feeling after application! Their base is cyclomethicone, which also performs the extra work of absorbing excess oil from the skin!!!
It is available in a compact packaging, which works well for me. However, I like FT Shiseido The Sun Screen better.

this thing is so freakin drying and leaves my skin feeling so parched even though im havin combi skin! it's FAR too mattifying! and it clings on to your skin too well that you've gotta use a powerful makeup remover to remove it later on.
i really felt my skin couldn't breathe when i had it on... and i guess my biggest complaint would be its flakiness and far-too-drying consistency!

Tried a few of the different sunskiller sunscreens. Blah...wasnt for me. Yes, it feels light but the liquid tends to feel qreasy as well. I have oily skin & they only served to turned me into oily greaseballs & caused my clear skin to be clogged full of blackheads (have stop using it for 4 months & am still trying to deal with the aftermath of removing those blackheads!).
The tinted sunscreen comes with shimmers & that one combined with the oily greasys turned me into a disco ball - imagine the oily shiny skin combined with noticeable glitter! shudder... continued >>

Champaign County Auditor
John Farney
Welcome to the Champaign County Auditor's Office website. This website is designed to allow citizen access to information collected by the Champaign County Auditor, as well as publicize the role and responsibilities of the elected Auditor.
In the menu to the left, I am pleased to offer Champaign County's Online Checkbook. This government transparency tool will be updated each month following the Champaign County Board's monthly meeting. Please feel free to direct questions concerning County vendor payments directly to me.
Additionally, please consider reviewing the Annual Financial Statements on file with my office. The Comprehensive Annual Report (CAFR) is a several hundred page document that details County finances and management's approach to financial operations. The CAFR is often used by outside agencies, financial institutions and reviewing entities to determine the financial well-being of a government. The Popular Annual Financial Report (PAFR) does not attempt to replace the more in-depth CAFR, but instead supplements the CAFR so as to make information more readily accessible to a broader audience than that served by traditional financial reporting. Champaign County first created a PAFR for Champaign County's Fiscal Year 2013.
The Auditor's Office also issues Reports to the County Board on both a monthly and quarterly basis. I hope you will find those reports useful in understanding County Government as well.
It is an honor to serve you as County Auditor. Please feel free to contact me at any time.
Mission Statement
Champaign County Auditor John Farney is a life-long resident of Champaign County. Raised in Homer and Philo, Farney is a graduate of Unity High School, Parkland Community College and Eastern Illinois University.

John was elected as Champaign County Auditor in 2012. During his tenure he has revamped the Auditor's Office, authoring new reports, implemented current accounting principles, and enacted new programs designed to generate revenue for County Government. John has been recognized by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) with the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting and has received the Award for Outstanding Achievement in Popular Annual Financial Reporting. These national awards are bestowed only on government officials who are committed to the highest standards in government and financial reporting. Champaign County is one of only 3 counties (of 102) to have an official recognized for both of these achievements.
John is active in the process as Champaign County begins implementing a modern accounting system to replace the current four decade old system. Replacement of this system will ensure high reporting standards in compliance with the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) and generally accepted accounting principles may be achieved.
In addition to his statutory duties, John was an active participant in the County's effort to become Illinois Green Business Certified. He is also actively involved with the County's Emergency Management Agency in disaster financial reporting.

If the product is still being sold in stores, who's getting the profit? Not the employees. If it walks, talks, acts, a.d smells like a crook or crooks, then its a crook.
The (HUMANE SOCIETY?) Yeah,right is comparable to the gestapo, and the (DA) is comparable to the SS.

Hi Sam & everyone praying for Unity,
Thought I'd take this chance to let any Sydney siders know about a great event, signifying Unity that's happening this Sunday May 6. A number of Christian Churches have combined including Catholic, Vineyard, Uniting, Pentecostal, Anglican, Baptist, Presbyterian, Salvation Army and more to organise the 'La Vida Grande Festival' (Spanish for Life to the Full, John 10:10) at Dunningham Park, Cronulla Beach from 9.30am til 4pm. Designed as an outreach it will include an open air Church service from 9.30 til 10.30, Christian bands, entertainment for families and the Jesus ProAm - which is a professional surf comp organised by Christian Surfers Australia. Everyone is welcome, and if you can't be there in the flesh, know that your 4.01pm daily prayers for Unity are indeed bearing fruit! God is good.

Working As A Realtor
A successful agent in real estate invests time in education, builds a good client network and passes licencing exams. However, this is not all they do. Here are 4 brief points about the path to attaining a job in this field.
Who is a real estate agent?
These agents work on behalf of clients to sell or buy commercial and private properties such as homes, buildings and other spaces. They need to know a sufficient information about the house and client they are working with in order to seal the deal. Estate agents have to consult these transactions with banks, broker agencies, surveyors, solicitors and other related professionals.
Work activities
The normal work routine for a realtor includes investigating property and its history. Arranging for images to be shot for client needs, contracting for repairs and visiting the property with sellers to negotiate a deal. They are also all in one sellers, marketers and promoters of the property. They take up the upcoming real estate projects and see what clients may come in for it so that they can sell. As buying a home is a tough task, these agents, along with their expertise in the field, help a client in deciding what is suitable for them. Apart from this general work, there are home brokers who have in depth activities as well.
Qualification requirement
Just like other jobs, there are qualifications that need to be satisfied in order to become a realtor. If you search the web for schools and colleges that provide the associated education, you will be able to sign up for something that suits your fee requirement. You will be learning how take on upcoming real estate projects, deal with customers and so on. To become a real estate agent, one doesn't not necessarily need to have a four year degree. However, those with a degree qualification tend to be considered advanced as compared to persons without it. A knowledge of business, marketing and law is essential. After the required exams, a pass or fail will decide whether you acquire your license to be a broker or not. This would also depend largely on the country and state you live in.
Starting your career
Once you have successfully gained a licence to sell, you have to build a good profile. In the field of estate selling it takes money to make money. You will need to have a good sum of cash in hand to start up a job. It is important to choose your broker company wisely if you are going to work under someone. A lot of clients look for a person who they can make a friend through the business. Thus, there is a need for an impressive personality. Once you find the right job or even do it on your own, activate your broker license so you can be a professional real estate agent. As everyone needs to buy a home at some point in their life, you do not have to worry about not finding clients. Build a good profile for yourself and you will be good to go.

This bioregional assessment helps us understand how coal seam gas and coal mining development could affect water resources and water-dependent assets in the Arckaringa subregion. It identifies where potential impacts might occur, as well as the areas that are unlikely to be affected. The assessment was undertaken in collaboration with the South Australian Government.
About this subregion
The Arckaringa subregion is part of the Lake Eyre Basin bioregion and is entirely within South Australia. It has a largely flat desert landscape consisting of sand dunes, stony gibber plains and shrublands. Coober Pedy is the largest town in the sparsely populated subregion. Land is primarily used for livestock grazing on native pasture.
The Arckaringa subregion contains springs that are part of the nationally important Great Artesian Basin supergroup of springs. These springs are home to a diverse and often unique range of native plants and animals, including many that are listed as rare or threatened under Commonwealth and state government legislation. Most of the water supply in the Arckaringa subregion comes from groundwater, as surface water supplies are scarce and unreliable. Most groundwater is pumped from the Great Artesian Basin with a smaller amount taken from the underlying Arckaringa Basin.
Coal mining and coal seam gas operations
The Arckaringa subregion is underlain by rocks of different ages that belong to four geological basins: the Arckaringa, Eromanga, Warburton and Officer basins. Coal occurs extensively in the Arckaringa Basin; however, most of it is located deep beneath the Great Artesian Basin. Given the depth of the coal and the lack of existing infrastructure there are no current proposals for coal mining in this subregion. Coal mining proposals are considered unlikely for the foreseeable future.
There are no commercial coal seam gas developments in the Arckaringa subregion, though exploration work has been undertaken for both conventional and unconventional gas. Evaluation has suggested that the coal seams in this subregion are not mature enough to generate significant coal seam gas volumes, making commercial production unlikely in the foreseeable future.
About the bioregional assessment
The bioregional assessment for the Arckaringa subregion includes compilation of background information, a water-dependent asset register and a data register. Results from this work have shown there is low potential for coal or coal seam gas development in this subregion. It is for this reason that the bioregional assessment does not include further analysis such as model-data analysis and the impact and risk analysis. The information collected for the Arckaringa subregion may be used for future assessments or environmental studies.
- Area: 82,505 square kilometres
- Population: 2000 in Coober Pedy
- Climate: arid
- Annual rainfall: 130 to 170 millimetres
- Lake Eyre Basin bioregion

A fun and addictive color puzzle game where in general you have to fill the whole board (change colors of the squares on it) with a single color starting from the top left corner. In total 5 variants of games are available to meet specific difficulty levels. The base game idea is based on the game Coloroid.
Note: As this is a free game it displays ads. To be able to do this full network access is required.
Note: As this is a free game it displays ads. To be able to do this full network access is required.
Simple, engrossing game Fun. Better than similar games. However, both the number of rounds & their difficulty are limited. Puzzle levels are either extremely easy or too hard, if not altogether impossible. (& there's evidence that sometimes they are in fact impossible to solve). Once the gameboards have been completed, replaying the games loses its appeal quickly.
A couple of problems You have to do each puzzle in a certain number of moves or less. Occasionally it is impossible (I can give an example). Also, once a puzzle is solved, there is no way to try to do it in less moves. Still, it is fun.
Colorifyit Great game! The various ways to play keep it interesting! MUCH better than "Coloroid"! Tip: get through to the other side, splitting the board...
Purple.s I love this game.

Suffering from Lyme's? Not my normal topic, but even fighting my own illness for 18 months has lead me to see food makes a difference in recovering from sever illness. I wanted to share what I've learn with those seeking answers about Lyme's Disease.
I am writing for those who might think they have Lyme's, and those whose lives have already been changed by this destructive disease.
The first step to beating Lyme's disease is to acknowledge that you have it. This is difficult because over 50% of the cases DO NOT remember getting bit by a tick or having a bull's eye mark on their body. I am one of those cases. I don't remember getting bitten or seeing a tick not just once, but EVER. In Europe the medical community is acknowledging that Lyme's can be transmitted by mosquitoes. But in America that is never talked about, so if there is no tick personally and medically we believe there is no Lyme's. I truly do remember getting bitten up 18 months ago by mosquitoes, so for me I think that is where I got it.
Back to the point that we must first believe ourselves that we could possibly have Lyme's disease and not ever know when or where we got it. It is truly the hardest thing because if you are like me, you might be healthy, fit, exercising, and eating right. Then without warning you start feeling overly tired, aches, dizziness, headaches and even trouble sleeping (more symptoms at the end). It took me about two months of my mother saying it sounds like you have Lyme's, for me to say YES that is my problem. Besides your own misconceptions it's hard to say YES I have Lyme's because the standard Lyme's test most often comes back negative. Mine did, but I was terribly sick and the Dr's keep saying my test results are ALL negative I am the picture of perfect health. Were they kidding me? Did they see my swelling in my legs, feet, and hands, my absolute need to go lie down at noon, my pain in my legs, knees, wrist, and fingers? I know they saw it, and I know they ignored my symptoms and just looked at the test results.
So the second most important thing you do is to find a Lyme's Literate Dr and a Holistic Dr. This link will bring you to a site that will help you find Lyme's Literate Doctors in your state. www.turnthecorner.org
I actually had a Lyme's doctor list in my possession, but because I was in denial for a few months I went to a Natural MD first. I went to her because she treated my son before and she treats the whole body. She was the first to say just from my symptoms that she thought my troubles were all caused by Lyme's. She was the first to say work on your immune system because it's working overtime. She also gave me a blood test that standard Dr's don't ever recommend but on line research shows that it's the only test that is accurate for Lyme's. It is called the Igenix Lyme's Test. This test came back positive for Lyme's, but the Natural MD was not Lyme's proficient so I marched back to my HMO with this new test results in hand. I went right to the top, the infectious disease doctor. First he said my test results were bogus. Then he gave me a ton more test. Then he said there is no way I could have Lyme's and I must have celiac so I should go see a Gastro Intestinal doctor. That's when I knew I had been wasting my time because on my own I had gone totally Gluten Free and was only eating soup and nuts and not one symptom had disappeared, daily they had gotten worse. SO DON'T waste your time, get your Lyme's Literate Dr. right away and then if they don't work on fixing your immune system find a Holistic Dr that does. You have to do both in order to heal. Also very important if you have an HMO find out from HR if you can switch to a PPO because the PPO allows people to go outside their network and to alternative doctors.
Now you're on your way to healing, but there is still a long road to go. The third thing you need to do is take control of your own body. It is going to start with the food you eat, but if you do it your suffering will diminish, and I am sure that is your number one goal right now. Lyme's disease attacks every part of your body, even your digestion, and your immune system. One of my first signs of illness was when I could no longer eat pizza on Friday night. For two years my whole family has been eating gluten free, but on Friday night my husband and I would treat ourselves to a real pizza. When I first got sick I would feel really drowsy the next morning. They the next week, after the pizza I would wake up with a headache and tired and every weekend it would get worse. So I figured I was just becoming sensitive to the pizza because I had cut out all the rest of the gluten in my diet. As to not to go into every detail I'll just say it started with the pizza and then this occurrence started to expand into every food I ate from pizza to fruits, veggies, and meats.
There are three parts to the reason you feel terrible all the time. Keep in mind I am not a doctor and this information has come from personal experience and research so talk to your Lyme's Literate Specialist and work with your own body knowledge. Lyme's is cause by at least three species of bacteria belonging to the genus Borrelia. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyme_disease) First, the bacteria are eating the sugars entering into your body, second your immune system is now weakened because it is working overtime from fighting the disease. Third, because your immune system is over worked it is now attacking not only the disease, but everything that enters into your body, and even your body itself.
What is the explanation for the inability to eat foods you love when you have Lyme's? If you know about bacteria, it likes to feed off of the environment it's in. Once in the body they start to take over and one thing they love is any food that turns into sugar. So that is anything from real sugar to, wheat, rice, potatoes, and fructose from fruit.
It's not the end you CAN and SHOULD fight back! When you do you will feel great again. Remember you are on your way to the Lyme's Literate Doctor, but what can you do right now? I suggest getting the book Gut and Psychology Syndrome available at Amazon, it was a great step in my recovery. The most important part of the book was how it suggested cutting out everything to start a new healing process. Remember you are VERY sick and in order to feel great again YOU have to do something.
So even before going to the doctor I started to treat my immune system. By the time I did this I could not eat anything at all without feeling sick to my stomach, itchy throat, and immediate tiredness. I started by eliminating all foods that turn into sugar in the digestion process real sugar t, wheat, rice, potatoes, and fructose from fruit. What I had left was almonds in the morning with a cup of organic coffee with organic whole milk and water. Then I made homemade chicken soup with water, a whole chicken, salt, carrots, garlic, and pepper. If I felt up to it I would add some eggs or a salad, but for about two months that was all I ate. Now not only could I digest this food, I was helping my immune system heal, because I was not overworking the system every time I ate. Also the old wives talk of chicken soup being the best thing for a cold is actually true. There is scientific research that the nutrients of homemade chicken soup are very healing to the digestion and immune system. After two months of just soup, nuts, ginger or peppermint tea, and eggs, I started to slowly add simple foods like gluten free oat meal, crackers and berries. I found even before starting the medication I was able to eat many foods I enjoyed. But I still to this day stay away from Gluten because it turns into sugar so fast.
At the same time that I changed my diet I started to boast my nutrients known to help the immune system work. Here is where having a good Holistic doctor comes in handy and you'll need one if the Lyme's Literate Specialist you find doesn't work with your immune system. But remember you can start doing this on your own before you get to the Dr's because every day is important in your recovery. You need to get your vitamin D and C tested and your D level according to my doctor should be above 60. Most American's don't get enough D so start taking more today. Here is what I take every Day to keep my immune system up. I start with a high potency Multivitamin. I actually take a prenatal vitamin because it has the most minerals. If I feel depressed or really angry, I actually take two in one day. Then I take 1500 mg of vitamin C in the morning and night and 4000 mg of Vitamin D. Plus I never forget to take a really good pro-biotic to help heal my stomach.
Another great mineral that I take to help my symptoms is Magnesium. I take it throughout the day when my symptoms are bad like headaches and stiffness, and morning and night when I am feeling ok. Plus, I take an herb called Milk Thistle, which is recommended to help improve liver function. I found that my liver function after 8 months of antibiotics is still healthy. Taking the Milk Thistle at night also helps me sleep better, so I take two before bed. Finally, before I started taking the antibiotics from the Lyme's Literate Doctor I was taking a lot of Echinacea three times a day. It really helped my immune system get back on track as well as it gave me a lot of energy I had lost over the first few months of my illness.
You are now on your way to the Lyme's Literate Doctor. He will put you on months maybe years of antibiotics, but I am telling you if you stick to a good diet and vitamin and mineral regiment you will feel better. The only thing you really have to be a ware of is that the medicin will not make you feel great right away it can be up to six month or more before you have your spring in your step again. So DON'T GIVE up keep fighting and know if you do you will feel great again. Also after a lifetime of at home remedies I can tell you there is nothing natural that I have found, as of yet, that will kill the bacteria totally off beside the antibiotics. After 18 months of being sick I am about 75% better. I eat totally Grain free using my cookbook Grain Free Cooking to help me every day. http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/2835432
I do cheat on my diet once in a while with some little gluten bites, but I always pay with a week of pain so it is less and less often that I eat foods that the bacteria like to thrive on.
This journey is hard, you will feel terrible, you won't be able to get off the coach, but if you get up, make that soup, take your vitamins, call that Dr, and believe that there is a better day ahead you will heal and feel great again.
Symptoms: The best overview of the disease and treatment guideline is located on the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society website at http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/2835432 At this link you will find the list the Lyme's Literate Doctor will use to help determine your condition. Read it firstJThe following symptoms are from http://www.medicinenet.com/lyme_disease/page2.htm
generalized fatigue, muscle, and joint stiffness, swollen lymph nodes ("swollen glands"), and headache, resembling symptoms of a virus infection. (I did not have swollen glands or fevor)
Subsequently, disease in the joints, heart, and nervous system can occur.
The later phases of Lyme disease can affect the heart, causing inflammation of the heart muscle. This can result in abnormal heart rhythms and heart failure. The nervous system can develop facial muscle paralysis (Bell's palsy), abnormal sensation due to disease of peripheral nerves (peripheral neuropathy), meningitis, and confusion. Arthritis, or inflammation in the joints, begins with swelling, stiffness, and pain. Usually, only one or a few joints become affected, most commonly the knees. The arthritis of Lyme disease can look like many other types of inflammatory arthritis and can become chronic.
Researchers have also found that anxiety and depression occur with an increased rate in people with Lyme disease. This is another important aspect of the evaluation and management of this condition.
I also found my whole body would be very stiff in the late evening and early morning. It was hard to move my figures as if I had arthritis, my knees and elbows would not move.
I had jaw pain until I started taking the Echinacea. In the morning the bottom of my feet would hurt when I walked.
I had dizziness early on, than blurred vision and a twitch in my left eye.
I did have depression and would be angry more often what my husband called on edge a lot:)
I also had foggy brain where I could not remember what I wanted to do and what I was going to say (fortunately this went away soon after going on meds)
As it got worse my hands would become numb when driving or bent in any position for a few minutes (this went away with a few months of meds and an acupuncturist)
I found from talking to people that the bacteria attacks where you are weakest. In me it was my wrist and ankles in my friend it was her heart and left shoulder.
Today its been ore then three years since I was diagnosed with Lyme's Disease. I am feeling so GREAT. I eat grain free every day and love it. I have used lots of natural healing like echinacea, lots of vitamin C and Chinese herbs from http://www.shop.fiveelementhealing.net/Andrographis-100-caps-androgr.htm

It may be an intorerance to a protien which they may be able to tell from the Endoscopy. Try high calorie foods if he will eat them and try to keep him eating table food if he does now. That is the biggest problem with Danny was keeping him eating as well as taking his formula. Danny didn't have the same weight but was 8lb. 1.8 oz at birth and hit a plateau at 21.5 pounds from 7 months until 21 months. He then started Neocate Jr. and gained 2 pounds in 2 weeks and stayed the same for another 8 months...this past week he had finally gained 7 ounces. Point being even though he isn't as small as your LO I understand the whole idea of he has gained enough (relatively) but stopped growing afterwards...I would wait until the Endo results come back and see if anything obvious comes up. Are they doing a ph probe at the same time? If so that will help determine as well if he is vomiting due to reflux (acid) or allergies(bile, mucous, food) and set a course from there on out.
Thanks .:Shortcake:. for my GREAT siggy.

Johannesburg - Gauteng Premier Nomvula Mokonyane was on Wednesday called to a house in Eldorado Park, Johannesburg, where a disabled child was left alone.The child's aunt told the premier her sister left the child alone every day. The boy, whose age was not known, had not eaten for the past three days, she said.The premier ordered the child be taken to hospital for medical attention. The mother was not around and could not be reached on her phone when her sister tried to call her.Mokonyane was in Eldorado Park to assess the state of healthcare delivery. She also visited TB patients to encourage them to complete their treatment.Mokonyane was accompanied by Gauteng health MEC Ntombi Mekgwe. She was expected to visit Chris Hani Baragwanath hospital later in the day.
Absolutely tragic. That poor child.
Yes truly a tragic case. In no way do I want to condone or justify this behaviour or pretend that the government is meeting their own goals, but is this not the wrong example to use to point out how the system fails?
You can most probably find this in any society. Surely there are more relevant examples rather than using a very unique, albeit tragic case?
They need to jail the mother and not feed her for 3 days!
If the child's aunt was around why wasn't she helping the child?
Was the Premier driving her ML63 AMG?
The mother has to go out to work to save money for food price hikes which are coming due to the F$#king tolls!!
couldnt the aunt cook for the boy??? except taking him to hospital how is the premier going to help????
and who will pay that bill...... the tolls??
Blerrie skande!
Why did it take for the Premier's visit for the aunt to seek help for the poor child?? she should have done something ages ago
Why in Gods name is the aunt getting the blame....Was the aunty around or consulted when the child was concieved...That is the sadness with society quick to shift the blame onto innocent parties and the guilty parties gets away with it...What if the aunty has a job and finds it difficult herself tomanage.What if there is some sort of sibling rivalry and the sister does not want to intrude...Guilty parties are the mother and father lekker om kinders te maak maar agter hulle te kyk its to difficult and such incovenience..God please be the ultimate judge...Because depending on the government is hopeless....
@ Paula everyone (uncle,aunt, neighbour, parent etc) who knew about this and didn't do anything to help this innocent child derseves to be blamed. I'm sure she's not the only one who knew about this but they turned a blind eye. We can just be grateful that the situation was attended to before it was too late.
The poor kid will now probably die in hospital from a streptococcus infection.
Perhaps the mother is working. She might have asked or paid someone to look after the child and they left the child alone. What if she was involved in an accident or fell ill? Why didn't the aunt take the child in? Finally, what did the Premier do to solve this situation?
Its a very sad situation, but we don't have the full story to jump to conclusions is unfair.
No premier just "happens" to visit a home. Security etc. etc. The question is what message did the premier hope to transmit through this "photo-opportunity"? I'll leave that for readers' decisions as to which way they vote. HOWEVER - It is the truth that the same thing happens in all countries in the world. It is an amazingly difficult challenge to look after these unfortunate children - it also costs a lot of money. Governments avoid it - they'll lay the blame everywhere/anywhere (Including on parents), but on themselves. In the long run, governments do respond to the voice of the electorate/people, which is exactly why this premier is trying to shape public opinion by her "coincidental" visit.

Early morning car chase and Lawrence woman critically injured in overnight crash
Lawrence Police were involved in a very short car chase around 2:15 this morning. The chase began southbound on Harper Street near E. 21st Terrace. The officer in pursuit reported that the driver signaled before he turned eastbound onto E. 23rd Street. The chase ended quickly when the driver pulled into his own driveway in the 1900 block of E. 23rd Street, with Police right behind him. Officers conducted a felony car stop and the man was taken into custody without further incident.
Douglas County booking logs show the driver to be a 33-year-old, Lawrence man. He now faces charges for OUI, attempt to elude, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Apple on Tuesday expanded its Device Enrollment Program (DEP) outside the United States to 25 additional countries and regions, as well as to authorized resellers and carriers. DEP, which was previously offered only in the U.S., is now available in Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom and the United States.
DEP provides a streamlined way to configure and deploy a large number of corporate-owned Mac or iOS devices. Through an integration with DEP, enterprises can enable automatic installation of AirWatch MDM profiles onto devices during setup. Users are taken through a series of simple prompts the first time they turn on a new device. Once enrollment is complete, administrators can supervise the devices over the air without Apple Configurator, and because MDM profiles are installed at the device level, users cannot delete them.
Organizations can import new devices directly into their AirWatch environments from the Apple order history page. Then through AirWatch, administrators can easily configure content, profiles and apps. AirWatch also supports staging workflows, automatic assignment of ownership types and the ability to pre-assign devices to user and organization groups.
For more information about using AirWatch and Apple DEP together, watch the video.

wow not much to go to £1000 now thanks abody just updated offline donations.Thank you so much everyone your generosity is amazing. I still have to update off line donations but would love to raise £1000. The folks at Epilepsy Scotland are so nice and helpful really want to bless them.
First blue now purple and I've been to Aberdeen, Buckie with blue hair and now home feeling so tired but so grateful for the generous and kind support of all of u. My hair is not bright colour what I wanted to really go for it but what today has taught me is that people care!Todays the day!
Thank you everyone who has donated so far. Today we met another family badly affected by Epilepsy and put them in touch with resources of Epilepsy Scotland. For many folks just having someone who understands and can share is half the battle. Feeling slightly apprehensive as tom approaches but my red face going along with my purple hair is all worth it to help others who live every day with epilepsy.overwhelmed by love and support. Yesterday was a challenging day as we went swimming and Ethan became excited he had seizure after seizure. He is the one who makes me not worry about what others think as he is so wonderful and charming people fall in love with him wherever he goes!
Nearly Half way Whooooohooooo thank u!A third of the way there thank u thank u thank u.
We love you, you are gorgeous now give us your money!!!! :-)Epilepsy is something that affects a lot of people and it is not just about lying down and shaking there are so many different types of seizures and they are not very nice. Ethan James Stewart was born on 16th August 2008 with several rare conditions, one of them Sturge Weber Malformation, causes him to have lots of seizures. His name means strong and He is. Despite seizing every day at the moment and suffering some horrible effects of this, he is a little sunbeam who keeps going and brings so much joy to our lives.
Epilepsy Scotland have brilliant resources and have helped us as a family and help so many people. I have decided that on Purple day for Epilepsy which is Tuesday the 26th March, I will dye my hair bright purple to raise some money to help people affected by Epilepsy. This is a huuuuuggggeee thing for me so please please sponsor me.Thank you thank you thank you
Psalm 139 13-16 The Message"Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out you formed me in my mother's womb. I thank you, High God—you're breathtaking! Body and soul, I am marvelously made! I worship in adoration—what a creation! You know me inside and out, you know every bone in my bone. You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit, how I was sculpted from nothing into something .Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth; all the stages of my life were spread out before you,The days of my life all prepared before I'd even lived one day."

kerry has basically NEVER done anything but been a politician. he lives in a world of FALSE REALITY. he and those like him, simply do not understand the world, its resources, businesses, taxation, etc. ALL he knows is spew the party line. Tell ANY LIE you wish, because the media will NOT hold you accountable. Work to create a class system and prey upon those who lack either the intelligence or the drive to seek out the TRUTH. But most importantly, continue to shout how EVIL Conversatives are and how "caring" the demoncrats are. Again, do not worry, the media will repeat your LIES as facts.
You have hit on the one thing that bugs me to no end in this race -- media will not hold Dems accountable for their lies!

a VirtualTourist member from Moscow
I am still in the process of buying tickets for my England journey and I've got one more question on train tickets. Does 'anytime' ticket means that I really can travel on any train that day? For example, I'm looking for London-Hastings tickets. I see that there is 'anytime' at 9:18 for 96.25 pounds (for our group), 'off-peak' at 9:37 for 65.20 and 'anytime' at 9:45 for 55 pounds. Can I buy the one for 55 pounds and take an earlier train?
Another question. If I plan London-Hastings-Brighton-London, I guess there is no way for me to take some ticket and 'break' my journey at Hastings and then go on to Brighton and back to London? I'll have to buy separate tickets L-H, H-Br, Br-L?
Here is the info about anytime tickets:
But I do think it is a little misleading, because 'anytime' ticket prices vary. You are free to return on any train but you must start off (as I read it) on the train you bought tickets for (otherwise there is no point in having different prices for different departures). I personally wouldn't risk using the 0945 ticket on an earlier train. You don't just pay the difference if you are found to be travelling on the wrong type of ticket; you pay the full fare price for the train you are on. :-(
It is also misleading in that you can travel at 'anytime' on any subsequent train...but only along that particular route.
I was amazed to discover that you can, apparently, break your journey without buying another ticket BUT it must be along the route of travel. The Hastings>London train does not, for example, go through Brighton so that type of break would no be feasible.
If you click on 'details' by a particular departure and then on 'calling points' you will see the stops where you can break your journey on that particular route (but only if you have an anytime ticket).
As I understand it you will indeed need to buy L-H, H-N, B-L tickets.
It might be worth investigating the coach for Brighton>London. There are sometimes very cheap fares on some routes/departures if you book in advance, and it's not a particularly long journey. ww.nationalexpress.com
Thank you, Leics. I read those articles, that was why I asked this question. According to the I can take earlier train, but it doesn't sound logical. As for the coaches I saw that usually they take much more time then train. Or may be it's different for that particular route. Thank you. I'll explore it.
I've just rung National Rail to clarify this.
There is a price difference on this particular route between the anytime ticket for high-speed services to St Pancras, and the other services to other London stations.
You cannot use the cheaper anytime ticket on the high-speed trains. So you can use the cheaper anytime ticket on an earlier trains as long as they is *not* the ones going to St P.
But you may find a cheap day return is better value anyway. They start at 27.60GBP, as opposed to the 50.60GBP anytime.
Anytime does mean anytime - off peak usually means after about 9.30am weekdays (varies by route) but off peak is valid at any time at weekends and on public holidays.
There is as said above a routing difference between London - Hastings which affects the price. If you use the High Speed Train London St Pancras to Ashford then the local train to Hastings it will cost more and not take much less time overall than the 'classic' route from London Charing Cross via Tonbridge.
I cannot think of a means of baffling the system to avoid buying separate tickets for each leg of your particular journeys. The stations are normally gated, meaning you have to put your ticket into a slot to open the gate. If it's not valid stand by for an interesting conversation with revenue protection staff. The on board ticket inspectors are pretty efficient also.
I'm assuming you are using the 'Group Save' fares.
I am however wondering why anyone would wish to visit Hastings and Brighton in one day!
I had to phone them (I think I may have been phoning India) because I was totally bemused as to why there was a price difference in anytime tickets.
I never use those particular tickets, so didn't really know the ins and outs. I agree trying to buck the system is really not worthwhile.
Why not consider a Southern Day Save ticket? 1 day - adult £12. Accompanied children £1 each . Group (up to 4 adults or children) £24.
You must purchase from the website a minimum of 7 days before travel - you cannot buy this ticket at a station. Other options of the ticket are available - see the website. 2011 prices.
I have full details on my London pages. The only downsides I can see is that you cannot travel before 10.00 and you have to buy on line - I wonder if you can buy on line from overseas?
Thanks to all of you! It was really helpful.
Do you think I'd better skip Brighton till my next visit? It was my idea to combine them. Hastings is "the must". I planned to come to Brighton after 16:00 and just stroll along seaside etc.But may be you are right and we will skip it.
My own choice would be Hastings over Brighton.
There is an irritation guy pretending to be some Mexican/Spaniard called LOCO featured on SOUTHERN RAILWAYS
He is trying to flog more tickets with DEALS !
Now I know that the London Victoria to Eastbourne train proceeds to Hastings.
Have you looked at this option ?
Getting from Eastbourne to Brighton is very nice on the bus along the cliff road via Newhaven.
I should have said that the bus ride to Brighton from Eastbourne goes from the pier which is a great stroll and well worth finding time to explore. Bus times etc found on www2.buses.co.uk/travel/serv...
or you can take another Southern Train from Eastbourne to Brighton if you don't want to stay in Eastbourne. See what LOCO says ? You can do all this travel using Southern starting and finishing in London Victoria.
If you have any thoughts please ask.
Thank you. Good idea! It must be a great journey! I'm studying the timetables.

U had laggs with the legal version too?
So I have the AlterIWnet version of MW2 (cracked version) and I have lag issues because of my video car so I was just wondering if someone could help me (or more people with the same problem) with some help
Ideas I thought might help
-The removal of some random objects
-No smoke
-No sky
Thanks allot!
U had laggs with the legal version too?
Yep, like I said it's my video card so MW2 can't have to many things overwhelming like random physics cans or water bottles, know what I mean?
If you can't play the game then don't dumb it down, it wont be enjoyable and your friends wont care how awesome you are for being able to play..
Wow your a serious douche bag, I was just asking because I hate lag. If you weren't mentally retarded then you can understand that there is not way to have friends (unlike steam) and I'm not dumbing anything down, I just want everybody to understand the situation you ass.
Don't flame Convery. and also removing entities from the game is kinda hard. U need to be a GSC Coder for that and it will work only if you're the host. Set your graphics low, and enable UPnP on your router, if it still lags then leave mw2.
If your computer is so old that it can't play MW2 on the lowest settings without lagging then it's time to get a new one. You don't take a PS3 game and try to port it to your old n64 because you know that it can't handle it.
If your computer can't handle 'modern' games then it's time to get a new one, not trying to remove half of the visual effects and entities just to make it remotely playable.
I 'can' play the game on my 7 year old computer but it's not enjoyable at 30 FPS so I upgraded it, not tried to remove half the game.
So ye, removing half of the entities are in fact dumbing down the game.
@Horatio Caine
You can remove a lot of textures with RivaTuner and change how the textures are rendered but ye, who likes a game without trees and bushes/water? Only texture hack kids..

Lovely Beach House is All About Angles, Stucco, and Wood
A seaside home in Vila do Conde brings in the beach.
Architect Ernesto Pereira focused on three simple things when remodeling a typical Portuguese dwelling in coastal Vila do Conde: "Wood for its comfort, water for its peace, and light for its vitality," he explains. He balanced these primary elements in the Silver Wood House, a domestic oasis that brings home the sandy colors and textures of the nearby beach.

Sam O'Sullivan
Trained Clinical Psychologist
Sam O'Sullivan
Trained Clinical Psychologist
Sam O'Sullivan has gone off the beaten track walked by many Clinical Psychologists. He saw the benefits of learning to calmly focus in his own life when stepping into his career (i.e practising mindfulness) - it helped him to work through his struggles with confidence and he started to develop into the person he always wanted to be. He went from avoiding public speaking to giving talks, teaching classes and winning prizes for presenting his work.
Sam trained at Otago University and then decided to start his career by jumping into the deep end - by working in a rehabilitation centre for people with serious psychiatric disorders. In this job he began teaching mindfulness to groups and witnessed again the powerful positive impact that learning this skill can have. He also noticed that the majority of people in the hospital were men. He suspected that the culture of being a "stoic NZ man" was playing a role, as many of the men there had not felt able to talk about their problems when they had started to develop, or had not been encouraged by others to do so.
Sam went on to work as private practitioner and found his style resonated with New Zealand men, who sought him out for coaching and therapy. He continued to see the Kiwi male culture playing a role in the problems his clients were facing, as many of them hadn't explored what was going on with anyone else before seeing him, particularly with other men. He also discovered that many of these men had found their own ways to be mindful, through activities like fishing, hunting, swimming and running . When he helped these men to translate this skill to other areas of their life they no longer needed his support. So he thought, why not do this on a bigger scale? Tough Talk was born.

Chris Taft, the burly banger from Brooklyn's Xaverian High School and the borough's Juice Crew AAU program, told us today he wants to take visits to Maryland and North Carolina next month if possible.
"I have already taken one visit," Taft said. "My first visit was to Pittsburgh. What I liked most about the visit was the new arena. It's very nice and big. It looks like a great place to play."
Taft said he will take his time in making his decision. "I'm in no rush," Taft said. "There are other schools I want to take a look at before making my decision."
Article Continues Below
Taft lists North Carolina, Duke, Maryland, Pittsburgh, Villanova, Syracuse, Miami, Arizona, and Kansas. But there are many other schools that Taft said he is open to in his recruiting process.
Taft, according to his AAU coach Tiny Morton, will participate in the Adidas ABCD Tournament in July, as well as the Three Stripes Tournament at Hofstra, the St. Raymond's tournament in the middle of July, and the Las Vegas Big Time Tournament.
