Web Load Speed Test
Test your website load speed from 6 locations at once
Would you recommend this product?
Very nice. Few minor issues - if someone types in domain.com, it comes up with an error saying "please enter a domain", because I didn't use the http:// prefix. It would be good if it could automatically detect that it needs this, and apply it accordingly. The loading icon image seems to be missing, when it's processing the results, the little image which appears underneath the bar that you enter the domain into. The map view is super useful, showing blue for where the server is based. A London server would be cool - lots of tech businesses here :) The timings are good, and were correct for a site which is based in Aus, so the first byte time got slower the further away the connection was in other locations. Very impressed and favourited for future usage.
@theashtube thank you Ashley, I will fix these. When it comes to London server I have to check providers with London available locations.
@csaba_kissi @theashtube Also had an issue when using all caps: ex: https://GOOGLE.COM
@dillon1337 thank you Dillon I'll fix that
@rrhoover @k1ix There are some companies that are working to improve the situation: https://techcrunch.com/2017/04/0...
@tomer_bin good to hear this
@andrewett Thank you, Andrew, for the hunt. This is my another (MVP) side project. It was inspired by needs to test my websites (server response) for speed from different locations because of visitors segmentation (USA/India/EU). Actually I test Time to first byte (TTFB)
@csaba_kissi great. It is better than pinger tool. Why do I see slower speeds from Australia? It is just my site or for every body?
@sridhar_kondoji its almost for everybody unless your server is hosted in Australia
@csaba_kissi got it.
It's dope that I can test my speed, but it's pointless unless you tell me how to improve it.
@dredurr Processing time of the page itself is very long. It took almost 3 seconds to start getting a response from the server. I would recommend you to use some cache plugin (its Wordpress site). I would go with the super cache which is super easy to configure or if you're more experienced user you can get the W3 cache, if you're ready to pay for it then the best install and forget alternative would be WProcket. Other very interesting thing is that you're using Cloudflare CDN and it didn't help. I would test some config settings there maybe there is something misconfigured in the backend.
@csaba_kissi Can you investigate mine please? I definitely need some help :/ Its https://upsidedeals.com/
@zev_friend Your server processing time is very long. It seems your server is busy or there is some DB optimization issue. Also, your cache control on the homepage is set to: "no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate" it means that cache is completely disabled even on the client side. I suggest you install some cache plugin to WP and enable the client-side cache. Check your DB for optimization, there are plenty of DB debug plugins that will show you heavy queries.
👍 Awesome! Added to: https://www.producthunt.com/@fra...

New powers to tackle street drinking in Wisbech
PUBLISHED: 12:45 19 October 2017 | UPDATED: 12:45 19 October 2017
New powers to tackle a town's street drinking problems come into force tomorrow.
New powers to tackle Wisbech's street drinking problems came into force on Friday, October 20.
Fenland District Council is introducing a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) in the town.
The order intends to restrict alcohol consumption in Tillery Fields, St Peter's Church Gardens and the memorial garden in The Crescent - and enable authorised officers to tackle alcohol-related antisocial behaviour across a wider area covering Wisbech town centre.
It forms part of a wider alcohol action plan being delivered by the council through the Wisbech Alcohol Partnership to address the issues and provide support to dependent drinkers and local residents.
Other initiatives in the 14-point plan include recovery walks from the Inclusion Adult Substance Misuse Treatment Service and recruiting a dedicated outreach worker.
After a successful bid to government, Wisbech has also become a Local Alcohol Action Area, one of only 33 locations in the country, which is working towards reducing the sale of alcohol to people who are drunk.
A Cumulative Impact Zone has also been implemented in the town making it harder to get a licence to sell alcohol, with a number of licences having already been refused through its use.
Issues such as homelessness and poor condition of private rented homes are also being tackled through a partnership approach.
Under the new PSPO, it will be an offence to possess any open containers of alcohol in the three areas. It will also be an offence to drink when asked to stop.
It can be enforced by police officers, community support officers and authorised persons representing the council.
Anyone caught breaching the order could be issued with a Fixed Penalty Notice of £75.
David Oliver, the council's cabinet member for community safety, said: "We are introducing the PSPO to respond to areas of need in Wisbech that have been impacted by alcohol misuse and harm.
"It will form part of our wider partnership work as it is essential we continue to address this complex issue through both enforcement and ongoing support to alleviate it long-term and ensure people are able to feel safe and enjoy the town."

A flurry of data issued Thursday sketched a brightening view of the U.S. economy in the final days before a presidential election that will pivot on the strength of the recovery.
Cheaper gas, rising home prices and lower unemployment have given consumers the confidence to spend more. And retailers, auto dealers and manufacturers are benefiting.
At the same time, many employers remain anxious about the economy, which is why only modest hiring gains are forecast for Friday�s jobs report for October. It will be the last major report on the economy before Election Day.
Both presidential candidates pressed their arguments Thursday for why President Barack Obama�s economic stewardship should or should not earn him another four-year term. Campaigning in Roanoke, Va., Mitt Romney argued that under Obama, household incomes have fallen behind inflation and poverty has worsened.
Obama, in a speech in Green Bay, Wis., contended that Romney�s proposals are the same �top-down policies that crashed our economy.� The president said his own economic approach was similar to Bill Clinton�s in the 1990s, when the U.S. economy generated tens of millions of jobs and incomes surged.
Economists think Friday�s jobs report will show that the unemployment rate rose to 7.9 percent in October from 7.8 percent in September. Coming so close to the election, though, the most recent economic figures aren�t expected to alter the outcome. Few voters are thought to still be undecided.
�People have given this a lot of thought,� said Andrew Kohut, president of the Pew Research Center. �One report, unless it is a real shocker, is unlikely to affect their view of whether Obama has done a good job with the economy or if Romney would do a better job.�
This week, Pew released a poll showing that likely voters, by 50 percent to 42 percent, thought Romney would do better at boosting job growth.
Here�s what the reports issued Thursday showed about the state of the U.S. economy:
Americans have taken heart from recent declines in the unemployment rate. They appear increasingly confident that the economy can sustain its modest recovery. That�s translating into more consumer spending � the fuel of U.S. economic growth � even though businesses have pulled back and exports have slowed.
Consumer confidence jumped last month. The Conference Board index of confidence reached 72.2, its highest since February 2008, two months into the Great Recession.
The index is still below the level of 90 that�s consistent with a healthy economy. But it�s up from 40.9 a year ago � the sharpest one-year increase since 1994, according to Robert Kavcic, an economist at BMO Capital Markets. And the index is far above its all-time low of 25.3 in February 2009, in the midst of the financial crisis.
Consumers are also spending more at retail stores, a separate report showed Thursday. Sales in stores open at least a year rose 5 percent in October, according to a tally from 21 retail chains by the International Council of Shopping Centers. Some of the increase, though, might reflect higher spending for generators, batteries, water and other supplies in preparation for Superstorm Sandy.
Job growth will likely remain modest. Most companies are reluctant to make major investments in hiring or equipment, economists say.
Economists have forecast that employers added 121,000 jobs last month � too slow a hiring pace to drive down the unemployment rate quickly. The rate has declined in recent months in part because some people have given up looking for work.
Applications for unemployment benefits fell 9,000 to 363,000 last week, the Labor Department said Thursday. That level suggests that hiring is unlikely to pick up much from its current pace of about 150,000 jobs a month.
A report by payroll provider ADP showed that private companies added 158,000 jobs in October, up from 114,000 in September. ADP updated its methodology for the October report. It has frequently diverged sharply from the government�s figures.
The U.S. economy expanded at a 2 percent annual pace in the July-September quarter, up from 1.3 percent in the second quarter.
Even at 2 percent annual growth, the economy is growing too slowly to bring rapid relief to roughly 12 million out-of-work Americans. With the unemployment rate still high, steady growth of more than 3 percent is generally needed to reduce it.
Americans are buying more big-ticket items, like cars and appliances. Auto companies reported steady sales gains last month despite losing three days of business to the storm in heavily populated areas of the Northeast.
Toyota said its sales rose nearly 16 percent for the month. Volkswagen reported a 22 percent jump. Honda�s sales gained 8.8 percent. Chrysler�s sales rose 10 percent, General Motors� 5 percent and Ford�s less than 1 percent.
Steady consumer spending is supporting gains in U.S. factory production. That�s true even though businesses in the United States and overseas have reduced their demand for high-cost manufactured goods.
The Institute for Supply Management, a private trade group, said its index of factory activity ticked up to 51.7 in October from 51.5, slightly below the average for the past year of 52.2. A reading above 50 indicates expansion.
The ISM said new orders and production rose. The increase came mainly in consumer-oriented industries such as furniture, food and beverages, and computers. Demand for machinery, chemical products, steel and other metals fell.
U.S. businesses have become more cautious in recent months. Some are concerned that Congress will fail to reach a budget deal before January. If lawmakers can�t strike an agreement, sharp tax increases and spending cuts will take effect next year and could trigger another recession.

The Indian Angel Network has made an investment of Rs 2 crore in Quifers, a tech-driven logistics company focusing on the light commercial vehicle segment. The Mumbai-based company aggregates light commercial vehicles aimed at intra-city transport thereby enabling reliable deliveries for ecommerce, FMCG and retail companies.
"We are focusing on vehicles in the half tonne to 1.5 tonne category and are looking at servicing e-commerce giants such as Flipkart, Snapdeal as well as offline companies such as Godrej and Reliance," said Amit Mishra, co-founder at Quifers. Investors Vikas Agarwal and Vishal Kharehave led this round of investment on behalf of IAN.
The team is looking at using the investment to enhance its talent pool, and innovate with new products. "We are also innovating to cater to smaller retailers in Mumbai. By aggregating vehicle operators and merchants, and enabling tracking vehicles through the app, we are organising the space much like the taxi aggregators have done, "said Mishra.
The company is looking at a revenue run rate of Rs 1 crore a month from December end, and the team is planning to expand to Pune and explore further expansion post that.
"The team is young and motivated and solving a pain point in an under penetrated area. This is a potential billion dollar market and we are bound to see more disruption as the scope for new solutions is huge," said investor Agarwal, who will be joining the Quifers board.

It has been an eventful month so far!
November began with a vegance as I embarked on creating a portion of the choreography for a musical called "The Torn Veil." So far it has been an amazing, daunting, and humbling experience. With a group of dancers ranging from experienced to "just decided I want to dance," creating choreography for this group has been an interesting challenge. It has, however, been rewarding to see my novice dancers improve on a weekly basis. The real challenges are defining a standard of excellence with such a diverse group and creating dances that reflect someone else's vision. This is one of the most involved experiences of my career.
As only the second year in my "new" (new to me) 30+-year-old home, things starting going wrong. It began with the demise of my AC unit in July and has now spread to the bathroom. Rotting floorboards apparently led to a a leak and what appears to be the icing on a very expensive year.
In addition to my usual articles for Examiner.com, my latest projects are a poetry book in the works and polishing my novel. Please keep your fingers crossed that all goes well!

Musicologist Anna Celenza Traces the Origins of the "Sinatra Sound"
On March 4th, John Cabot University had the pleasure of welcoming Anna Celenza, who is Professor of Music at Georgetown University.
Celenza's lecture demonstrated how Sinatra's name lives on because of his distinctive musical style — a style firmly rooted in Italian traditions. His phrasing and tone, the timbre of his voice: these are the qualities that set him apart. Celenza traced the origins of the famous "Sinatra Sound" to Northern Italy, and explained to the audience of JCU staff, students, faculty and visitors, how Sinatra's influence can be seen today through in an array of musical genres.
Anna Celenza has published several scholarly books and articles on a wide array of topics, from Liszt and Mahler to Scandinavian music, the Jesuits and Music, and jazz. She has also served as a writer/commentator for NPR's Performance Today and published eight children's books, including Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue (2006) and Duke Ellington's Nutcracker Suite (2011).

A stylish and sleek-looking vehicle whether its top is up or down, even the most rabid sufferer of arachnophobia will love the 2012 Eclipse Spyder mid-size convertible luxury sports car, a sharp-looking soft-top convertible that comes loaded with a bountiful array of luxurious high-end features at no additional cost to the consumer. What's more, countless drivers will blush as they enjoy the luxuries of this open-top grand touring roadster at a fraction of the cost of its competitors. And with a starting MSRP of only $27,999, you can bet that savvy car shoppers will look forward to getting tangled in this Spyder's web.
Configured with a convenient 2+2 seating arrangement, the Eclipse Spyder comes in three different editions for the 2012 model year. The amply-equipped entry-level GS Sport (starting MSRP $27,999), the distinctively styled SE special edition (starting MSRP $28,299) and the full-tilt GT (starting MSRP $32,599) version that possesses a stirring V-6 engine beneath its hood.
Super Spyder
The Eclipse Spyder GS Sport and SE vehicles are powered by a refined dynamo of a drivetrain - a 162 horsepower 2.4-liter SOHC 4-cylinder engine that makes use of the Japanese auto manufacturer's elaborate Mitsubishi Intelligent Valve timing Electronic Control (MIVEC) variable valve-timing system that helps elevate both the power output and fuel economy while simultaneously reducing harmful exhaust emissions. This engine features a fortified cast-iron engine block, a bore and stroke measuring 3.43 x 3.94 inches, and a lofty compression ratio of 9.5:1 that help it to produce a full 162 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,000 rpm. Despite all of this horsepower and torque, the Eclipse Spyder still manages to achieve exceptional fuel mileage within the EPA-rated fuel consumption of 20 mpg city/ 27 mpg highway. What's more, this engine achieves this level of power production and fuel efficiency on regular unleaded gasoline - a helpful design feature that can help the car's owner to save more money at the gas pump. This engine delivers its power to the vehicle's front wheels through a slick 4-speed Sportronic® automatic transmission.
For the enthusiast driver that demands even more potency and speed, the 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GT is the obvious choice as it offers a substantially higher 40% more power output than the previously mentioned 4-cylinder powerplant in the form of a souped-up 265 horsepower 3.8-liter SOHC 24-valve V-6 engine that, just like that of its GS Sport and SE siblings, that includes Mitsubishi's impressive MIVEC variable valve-timing system. Key design elements of this V-6 engine include a peek torque figure of 262 lb.-ft. at 4,500 rpm, a bore and stroke of 3.74 x 3.54 inches, a compression ratio of 10.5:1, with the engine's redline occurring at 6,500 rpm. The 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GT gets an EPA-rated 16 mpg city/24 mpg out on the highway on premium gasoline, which is recommended to maximize performance.
The GT sees an additional gear added to its performance-oriented 5-speed Sportronic® automatic transmission. Mitsubishi's Sportronic® design technology allows the driver the option for quick gear shifts with a slight tap of the smart INVECS-II adaptive shift control. This system is so sophisticated that it learns and adapts to the habits of the driver.
Precision Chassis Tuned Specifically for Top-Down Touring
Mitsubishi's design and engineering ingenuity shine through in the company's sole convertible top entry.
The Spyder is built off of Eclipse coupe chassis, but numerous additional structural reinforcements have been integrated into its chassis to create rock-solid platform with an incomparable degree of structural integrity whether the vehicle's top is up or down.
With the top up, the vehicle's occupants are treated to an exceptionally quiet cabin, thanks to the thick high-quality multi-layer cloth top with an interior headliner that closely mimics that found in its twin sibling, the Eclipse coupe. This soft top is fitted with a glass rear window that includes a built-in defroster.
The power convertible top folds and fully retracts beneath a protective hard-shell tonneau cover in a scant 19 seconds. The top-of-the-line Eclipse Spyder GT also includes a removable windscreen deflector that helps to reduce wind buffeting and reduce wind noise for even the more enjoyable top-down driving experience.
Luxury Features Galore
As if cruising around in comfort in an affordably-priced convertible sports car with head-turning styling were not enough, Mitsubishi has infused the 2012 Eclipse Spyder with any number of thoughtful high-end amenities at no additional cost.
Let your hair blow in the wind and crank up the tunes with the beautifully resonating 650-watt (max) Rockford-Fosgate® 6 CD/MP3 audio system with 9-speakers and a three-month pre-paid subscription to SIRIUS® Satellite Radio. Keep your hands on the steering wheel and chat away with the Bluetooth® hands-free phone system. Cut through the darkness thanks to High-Intensity Discharge (HID) projector-type headlamps.
See what is going on behind the vehicle more clearly with the rear view back-up camera. Enjoy top-down touring even on cool mornings or chilly evenings, thanks to the warmth and comfort provided with heated leather front seating surfaces.
Other included features on the 2012 Eclipse Spyder are a 6-way power-adjustable driver's sport bucket seat; power windows, door locks and heated side mirrors; air conditioning; cruise control; aluminum sports pedals and ice-blue LED illumination of instrument and controls.
Standard exterior features include integrated clear and chrome rear spoiler; dual exhaust outlet with polished tips; clear chrome LED tail lamps and large 18-inch 10-spoke machine finished alloy wheels that hug the road for maximum traction.
The 2012 Eclipse Spyder gives you six different colors to choose from: Northstar White, Quick Silver, Sunset Pearlescent, Rave Red, Carbon Grey and Kalapana Black.
Exceeding Expectations: Eclipse Spyder SE and GT
And while this two-door classic Japanese convertible sports car (manufactured with pride at Mitsubishi's state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in America's Heartland in Normal, Illinois) will soon fade off into the sunset, the swan song Eclipse Coupe will depart with a memorable, aesthetically pleasing final version that captures the sporting essence of what owning a cool sports car is all about.
The special edition Eclipse Spyder SE comes with all of the accoutrements on the GS Sport model plus unique 18-inch alloy wheels with dark argent finish, black side view mirrors and special "SE" side decaling.
The GT edition gains the aforementioned detachable windscreen deflector to decrease wind noise and buffeting when driving with the top down as well as an automatic climate control system.
Piece of Mind
Safety is always at the forefront when Mitsubishi's engineers and designers develop a vehicle. That's why the 2012 Eclipse Spyder features a bounty of the latest safety technologies and amenities to provide piece of mind to the purchaser of this appealing top-down luxury sports car.
Included on every unit sold is an advanced supplemental restraint system (front air bags, front-seat-mounted side impact air bags, and front seat-mounted head/thorax side impact air bags). Front and rear crumple zones help to protect the vehicle's occupants from impact forces in the event of a crash. Three point seatbelts, head restraints, and a seatbelt force limiter system help the seatbelt and air bags work together seamlessly. Another safety measure are the front seatbelt pretensioners, which are designed to help tighten the belts on frontal impact.
Aiding the driver in adverse road conditions is a priority that is assisted by advanced electronic driver aids including an anti-locking braking system (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Active Stability Control (ASC) and Traction Control Logic (TCL).
Anti-theft alarm system and engine immobilizer with a keyless entry system and a remote trunk and panic alarm are standard features on the 2012 Eclipse Spyder series.
Mitsubishi offers one of the best warranties in the industry with their 10-year /100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty, including their 5-year, 60,000-mile "bumper-to-bumper" limited warranty and a 7-year, 100,000-mile anti-corrosion perforation limited warranty.

When you see a specialist prosthodontist, like myself (Dr Sarkis Nalbandian), the decision as to whether you should get ultra thin porcelain veneers depends on a number of factors. Porcelain veneers are indicated for a range of dental circumstances:
Diagnostics is the first and most important part of the process to get the smile that you want, that lasts for a long time. The diagnostic process allows a specialist prosthodonist to help you design the perfect smile to suit your facial aesthetics and function (including speech and multi dimensional dynamics). In my practice, I sculpt your new smile directly in your mouth. This allows you to actually experience the teeth before we proceed with the next phase of the process.
When you are designing your smile I take into account ethnic facial variations. As a specialist prosthodontist with a keen interest in aesthetics, I noticed over the decades beauty standards vary according to ethnicity. Most importantly you need to understand that facial beauty is not static, but a dynamic multidimensional unity.
What we perceive as beauty also depends on trends and contemporary thinking. In many ways it is a fashion statement that changes with time. I am sure you do not walk around with the same hairstyle that we had in the 90's today. Old beauty standards determined by anthropometric, photogrammetric, and cephalometric data, cannot correspond to the current public perceptions of facial beauty.
Correct diagnostics lead to minimal tooth intervention, preserving the precious enamel of your natural teeth. 99% of the time all porcelain veneers are about 0.2mm thick, that is all that is required, even in very difficult cases. This is the reason you need to see a specialist prosthodontist when considering porcelain veneers, or not. We are the smile specialists.
The most important thing when considering porcelain veneers is the diagnostic process. "Digital smile design" concepts only tell half the story. A specialist will develop a composite mock up directly in your mouth to insure that your bite, smile and speech dynamics are correct in all four dimensions and the treatment will not adversely affect the way you look, speak and feel with the new teeth. This means we look at the entire face and how the new treatment will compliment your facial aesthetics and whether you are happy with the change before the final treatment commences.
Naturally if you have severely crowded teeth, and because I practice conservative dentistry, accelerated orthodontics (PAOO) will be considered. Helping you achieve the best smile in the shortest possible time and preserve your natural teeth.
I invented the ultra thin porcelain veneers process and have over thirty years of experience in this treatment modality.
This is a very interesting question. "There is nothing permanent in dentistry. All restoration fail over time. There are too many intangibles over which one has little, or no control" (Pincus, 1967). Pincus was the progenitor of modern cosmetic dentistry. He was the dentist that placed the chicklets on Shirley Temple's teeth so that they would appear white on screen.
Although my personal data shows at ten years 95% are succesful. This is also due to the correct diagnostics process by a specialist prosthodonist in each case. Success is also on a case by case basis and depends on you as a patient and how well you maintain your porcelain veneers and continue with regular checkups. Night guards for people who grind (bruxism) their teeth and other requirements.
This depends on your health cover and insurer. You should inquire with them to find out if you are covered for porcelain veneers. The item number is 556.
The best cosmetic dentist is generally the one that can diagnose your case correctly and has a lot of experience in placing porcelain veneers. Most dentists dabbling in cosmetic dentistry don't have the volume of experience, and case histories required to effectively create a new natural looking smile, that is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also functional and comfortable.
You should always request to see the case histories of the dentist who you are considering, in order to see the level of expertise they have. Can they sculpt a new smile in your mouth in one visit to allow you to feel, see and experience the new smile you will be getting before you get them? To test drive the system and allow you assess how this new smile compliments your face before you commit to treatment. At this point the costing will be provided. Usually a 1 to 2 hour session and is the most important cosmetic dental appointment you will ever have.
My role as a specialist involves correcting failed treatments, uncomfortable, unsuitable and unhappy patients with past cosmetic dentistry performed locally and internationally. The most important thing about cosmetic dentistry is to preserve your natural teeth and enamel at all costs. Anyone who wants to shave your teeth needs to explain the risks involved and the affect on your natural teeth and jaw structure.
The biggest problem I see today is patients who present with tooth sensitivity after porcelain veneers were placed elsewhere. This is largely due to incorrect diagnosis, unecessary tooth intervention (or cutting enamel). Unfortunately these patients had often not consented to having their teeth cut in the first place. This further compounds the loss of biological teeth and patient confidence.
As a specialist, my first priority is to conserve and maintain biology, while beautifying and rejuvenating your tooth/teeth, arch form, arch width to compliment your facial aesthetics.
You should consider the real cost in two ways: financial and biological. Financial cost is often the chief concern, but the biological impact of the incorrect treatment can often lead you to a much larger financial risk in the future. As a specialist, my aim is to preserve your natural teeth well into the future. Therefor, the risk of the future financial cost is really reduced in the correct diagnosis which leads to conserving your natural biology, lowering the risk of future complications and expense. Over thirty years of experience and placing over 30,000 veneers, means I understand the cost benefit to you of the correct diagnosis in the beginning.
We have worked with the same technical expert for over 20 years. This is real team work and the results are what you are paying for.
Unfortunately, when patients seek out cheap treatments elsewhere to save money, this often leads to expenses in the order of 3x more than what the original cost would have been. I know this because I have had to fix many of these cases. A simple porcelain veneer that would have been placed with minimal intervention, becomes a full crown, affecting the patient's biology and long term constant maintenance, root canal therapies, crowns, and eventually extraction. The restorative cycle ultimately leads to an implant. Not only do you lose teeth, you lose financially. Implants are significantly more costly and not as predictable as your natural tooth.
Being a specialist prosthodontist (board certified specialist cosmetic and reconstructive dentist) it is my duty of care to initially diagnose and plan your treatment accordingly.
Treatment planning in your case requires diagnostic (direct mock up) set up, which will tell us the following; the smile line, width, the level and degree of teeth display as it affects your speech and smile dynamics, which cannot be ascertained digitally.
Unfortunately, without diagnostic set up, I am in no position to assess above and cannot guess the effect of proposed treatment and your level of expectation. It is for your benefit that we proceed with the diagnostic set up, as it will save: time, money, and most importantly maintain biology (your teeth).
Your dentistry requires careful treatment planning and this I take very seriously.
It is better to spend less money on a consultation, than thousands on corrective treatments and loss of biology. After all it is your smile.
We don't know how much the treatment will cost you in Thailand, only how much it will cost to fix if something goes wrong. Please refer to one of our video case studies on a patient who opted for dental tourism overseas, who required considerable reconstruction at a considerable cost to fix a disasterous treatment.
The true cost of getting treatment overseas is in the long term repercussions that may occur if a treatment goes awry. Treatments of this nature require a long term commitment to maintenance and care under the supervision of the specialist performing the treatment. The legal obligations for foreign dentists, stops at the airport. Australia has one of the highest standards of dental care in the world and the dental community in Australia is beholden to those rules and regulations. Foreign practitioners are not.
While not all foreign treatments are horror stories, consider the speed at which these procedures are performed and how many patients a dentist will have to work on. As you are in and out very quickly, the level of care is naturally very low. Diagnostics take time. We are committed to your long term care here in Australia. Your smile is important to us.
This depends heavily on the state and condition of your natural teeth and enamel beneath the porcelain veneers that require replacing. We won't know what we will find when we remove your existing veneers, unless we placed them, in which case your tooth structure should still be sound.
When considering the cost of replacing veneers it is important that the correct diagnosis is performed so that you can experience your new smile before any new porcelain veneers are created or replaced.
It depends on you aesthetic needs and wants, while preserving biology, then yes. However, if you have severe crowding, a combination of orthodontics and porcelain veneers will improve the desired outcome and preserve biology.
My question is why? It is important to understand why you "need" porcelain veneers and whether this is the correct diagnosis for your case. Sometimes simple composite veneers can give you the desired outcome and at a reduced cost to you. In most cases it is better to have a specialist consultation before you proceed with any porcelain veneer treatment. A specialist diagnosis will help you understand exactly what you are getting and why you would be getting it.
Simply fill in the form on this page, or call us during office hours and we will make an appointment for you to come in to find out how we can help you with your specific circumstances.
We truly care about you your needs and we strive to be a welcoming, friendly practice where you will feel comfortable and safe. If you would like more information about the specifics of a treatment we are happy to show you the numerous case studies we have on file of patients we successfully treated who were in the same situation as you are now.
If you are suffering, please don't put off seeing someone.
Thank you for taking the time to explore this information about porcelain veneers. I hope this gives you an idea of what I can do for you if you are having difficulty and need help, because there is always hope.

Lancaster Changed Life for Top Crop Researcher
Jianhua Zhang (PhD in Plant Physiology, 1988, Furness) has a remarkable story to tell and is currently Professor of Plant Biology at Chinese University of Hong Kong.
On his extraordinary journey from teenager barred from every occupation except toiling on a Chinese collective farm, to his current status as one of Nature magazine's top five crop researchers, Jianhua Zhang stumbled across Lancaster University - and then his life changed for good.
The shy young man who arrived at Lancaster from China in 1985 armed with a determination to improve life for his fellow field workers, had never been abroad. He had little schooling and practically no English. He left six years later however with a PhD, fluent English, several academic publications under his belt and having developed the basic theoretical framework behind deficit irrigation, which has revolutionised the watering of crops in arid parts of the world.
Now Professor of Plant Biology at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and heralded by Nature magazine as 'one of the five crop researchers who could change the world', Jianhua Zhang, is clear about the importance of Lancaster in his astonishing academic journey. He says: "It changed my whole life."
He got there against the odds. He'd grown up during the Cultural Revolution in a family branded as 'rightists'. His mother brought him and his siblings up in an earth-walled hut with a straw roof, and his father had been sent away to a prison camp. Jianhua thus received minimal primary and secondary schooling, was refused permission to join the army or to work in a factory, giving him no choice but to till the fields. He longed to make the life of his fellow workers easier and his top ambition was to build a brick house with a tile roof for his brother and himself.
His first stroke of luck came in 1977, when the Chinese government changed the university admission rules bringing in selection on examination scores rather than based on local government recommendation. Jianhua's high marks allowed him to go to agricultural college, where he found himself intoxicated by the power of knowledge and easily gained his BSc in Agronomy. Convinced that study abroad was the key to success, he began to teach himself English, by reading Charles Dickens - a simplified novel in one hand and a dictionary in the other.
Jianhua gained a Chinese government scholarship to study abroad and was given permission to go to England for one year only. Lancaster happened by another lucky chance. In searching academic papers for potential supervisors, Professor Bill Davies' name cropped up more regularly than most and the academic was also the first to respond to Jianhua's enquiry about study possibilities.
"His letter was so friendly and encouraging." recalls Jianhua. "His lab was also doing research on plant stress, which is what fascinated me."
The inspiration for his life's work comes from his teenage farming days. Jianhua had been astonished that the yield in his family's rice plot was higher than expected, despite his worries that its elevated position had made it drier than the others around it, at the point it was making its grain. This stayed in his mind and Bill Davies at Lancaster was prepared to give him the chance to explore it - although the problem in Lancaster was too much rain.
During the Lancaster years, Jianhua did definitive work showing that plant roots can send hormonal signals to shoots in response to drought stress and developed the idea that in some cases this could persuade plants to put all their resources into reproduction. His first paper was published within six months of arrival.
'I was so awkward and had no idea about so many things," laughs Jianhua. "I was afraid to answer the phone and could not understand what people said when they joked in the labs. So I threw myself into work. It was very exciting and I never got frustrated because I was so productive.
Davies and Head of Department, Terry Mansfield, soon realised they had a major talent in their midst, who worked hard and at great speed. Jianhua was encouraged to do a PhD (which he completed in 1988) and then to stay on to carry out post-doctoral research, until his first appointment as lecturer in the Biology department at Hong Kong Baptist University in 1991.
He is currently working on two water management processes - partial root zone irrigation (PRI), which involves letting part of the plant root dry out whilst irrigating the rest fully and alternate wetting and drying (AWD) to economise on the amount of water used in rice paddy fields. He spends much of his life travelling around the world to academic gatherings, sharing his work. He has published more than 250 papers on the subject. He also has an editorial role for a number of scientific publications.
He says: "Today in all parts of the world they now realise that if you give plants less water than they need, you can improve their yield. That makes me feel very fulfilled."
This success would, in his view, have been impossible without his time at Lancaster. The friendliness and support he gained from his professors, allowed him to obtain the funding and a paid research position to stay on and develop his ideas after his PhD.
It also gave him the chance to open up socially. Through the international student society he made friends. He also joined trips to the Lake District organised by Bill Davies, who was co-ordinator for North American students. To his surprise, he also developed an appreciation for English beer and the usefulness of 'having a pint' as a networking tool.
Nowadays he meets his former mentor Bill Davies at conferences all over the world. He has kept in touch with Lancaster too because of the gratitude he feels. He says: "I would like to help students like me, to finish their dreams."

Yoho National Park
Travel Guide North America Canada British Columbia Yoho National Park
Yoho National Park is a part of the UNESCO listed Canadian Rocky Mountain National Parks. It is on the British Columbian side of the British Columbia/Alberta boarder from Banff National Park, and is north of Kootenay National Park.
The word 'Yoho' is a Cree expression of awe or wonder. You don't have to be here long to agree that Yoho is the perfect name for this national park.
[b]Yoho National Park[b] is located in the Rocky Mountains, with the town of Field lying at its center. The Trans Canada Highway runs through the park, and its eastern boundry is the Province of Alberta, with Banff National Park directly on the otherside of the boarder.
The park covers over 1,300 km² and is full of rivers, glaciers and, of course, mountains.
Sights and Activities
One of the major highlights of Yoho is the Burgess Shale. It is one of the world's best fossil deposits, and dates back over 500 million years. It contains the most diverse group of fossils from the Cambrian Period. You can take guided hikes to one of two major sites, where you are allowed to look at and handle some of the best fossils. You can also look through the shale for fossils never uncovered but you don't get to keep them.
Takakkaw Falls is a 384-metre high waterfall, the second highest in Canada (higher than Niagara). Takakkaw roughly translates in Cree language as an expression meaning "It is amazing". Takakkaw is easily accessible from the main park - about 4 kilometres from the town of Field.
Entry to Yoho National Park is pretty steep - about $10 per person per day ($20 for families or groups, up to seven people in one vehicle). However, you can get an annual pass (good for the month you buy it, the next month and a full year after that) for just under $70 ($140 for family or group).
Getting There
By Car
[b]Yoho National Park[b] sits along the Trans Canada Highway, near the city of Golden. It is easily accesible by car, simply by driver along highway #1. The town of Field lies at the middle of the Park.
By Bus
You can take the Greyhound bus to Field several times a day, and it is possible to walk from there to the close campsites - it is about a 3-kilometre hike.
Since you'll most likely be camping, most of the eating is bring-your-own. However, there are a couple of choices in the tiny town of Field. You can eat at the Siding General Store (as well as pick up camping essentials) as well as the Truffle Pigs Bistro. For more options, you can head to nearby Golden.
In Field, you can get a drink at the Truffle Pigs Bistro, or you can buy a limited selection of liquor at the Siding General Store to have back at your campsite. Like eating, Golden will have more choices for drinking.
Camping is the obvious choice, and you have 5 choices at Yoho. They range from the walk-in only Takakkaw Falls ($17.60/night) to the Kicking Horse Campground, which has running water and showers ($27.40/night). Most campgrounds allow campfires. Kicking Horse is the most comfortable, but a major train line runs very close to the campsite, and it is very loud and runs all night.

By Sean Faircloth,author of Attack of the Theocrats, How the Religious Right Harms Us All and What We Can Do About It.
In both Life's magazine 2012 special "Farewell" obituary issue and in Time magazine's end of year issue, they profiled two people of science: Neil Armstrong and Sally Ride. I'm very glad they did. They are both wonderful examples to us all. Yet, while Life printed an obituary profile of one of the "son" actors on the old TV show My Three Sons, they did not profile any additional scientists. I like movie stars. I revel in obscure rock bands, but as I note in the Afterword of my book, prominent obituary retrospectives seem to leave out people who have a long-term impact that far outshines second-tier actors on old TV shows.
See bottom of article for Polish translation
Perhaps we might remember Dr. Mary Ellen Avery, who also died in 2012, and whose work on the prevention of deaths of premature babies saved an estimated 800,000 lives. So far.
Let's remember William Staub who invented the treadmill. Complain if you must, but, particularly for those in cold weather climates, a treadmill can help maintain the eight-minute mile pace that many scientists claim dramatically increases cardiovascular health. Indeed William Staub used his own product well into a healthy and functional nineties. His work lengthened thousands of lives (and, heck, listen to a book on tape, or watch TV, if you want to whine about getting on the treadmill).
Irving Millman's work led to the creation of the Hepatitis B vaccine. Vaccines are hard to market because they don't generate a lot of income for the pharmaceutical industry. Yet, once instituted, the Hepatitis B vaccine saved millions of lives. That's millions! Dr. Millman also earned a Bronze Star in WWII. Obscure second stringers on TV shows? They made the Time-Life obituary cut. But not Dr. Millman.
Renato Dulbecco won a Nobel Prize for his work on onco-viruses, the type that cause cancer. His work was the basis for later preventative measures, including science that helps counteract HIV. Dr. Dulbecco also served in the Italian resistance against Mussolini. Dr. Dulbecco's research laid the groundwork for saving many lives.
Russell Train ran the Environmental Protection Agency under Richard Nixon. A lawyer, Train reached the rank of Major during WWII. At EPA Train pushed for a sound science approach. A Republican who had served on the National Water Commission in the Johnson years, Train was trusted to be objective by both political parties. He helped push for approval of catalytic converters in cars, significantly decreasing pollution thus improving public health. He led implementation of the Toxic Substances Control Act. He later headed the World Wildlife Fund, expanding the organization's focus to go beyond species and include protection of habitat for species. Train led the organization's concept of addressing developing-world debt in exchange for nature preservation – known as "debt for nature swaps." His bipartisan objective lawyering stands as a testament to what seems a bygone era of public service based on reasoned analysis.
Dr. Lester Breslow literally transformed the field of public health from one that was almost entirely focused on infectious disease to one that includes analysis of how personal behavior pertains to longevity. He advised a half-dozen presidents. In the 1950s he used science to show the ill effects of smoking. His California research helped form the basis for the 1964 Surgeon General's report on smoking. Governor Ronald Reagan fired him from his job as Director of California's Public Health Department because Dr. Breslow objected to health care cuts for the poor. Dr. Breslow's early work dramatically changed the field of public health by specifically documenting how exercise, avoiding smoking, drinking only in moderation, and other factors extended life – and he provided data to back it up.
Before abortion was legal, Dr. Jean Pakter documented the number of women who were horribly injured or died from abortions. Her efforts led to the 1970 law making safe regulated abortion legal in New York three years before the Supreme Court decision. She devised a new process for the treatment of premature babies, a process that saved many lives and still does. This wonderful woman was one of but four women who entered NYU's 1934 Medical School class. A font of statistics for decades, she found that, at that time anyway, fewer women were impregnated in the spring or in her words, "the gleam in a young man's eye is in the fall." Her work for women's rights and for premature babies was both life-saving and historic. She died at 101. Not a mention by Time-Life.
John Atta Mills died while President of Ghana. A lawyer, Mills expanded health care and ambulance service, and expanded education funding. A politician with a sense of humor, Mills increased the strength of an already more stable African nation with his emphasis on education and public health. He also sometimes played for the Ghanaian national hockey team (not too many presidents can say that).
George McGovern was mentioned in year end obituaries, but not for his policy impact on public health. McGovern led President Kennedy's new Food for Peace program starting in 1961. McGovern's leadership of the program increased the ability of hungry children to focus and get an education and is credited with dramatically increasing the affection and esteem for the United States of America that was expressed overwhelmingly in the developing world upon the assassination of President Kennedy. McGovern, a WWII combat pilot hero, saw starving children in Europe during the war. In later years, working with Republican Senator Bob Dole, a fellow combat veteran, Senator McGovern secured funding for hungry children worldwide and for pregnant and nursing mothers. This effort increases IQ. Often girls who don't eat drop out of school before boys. McGovern's effort helped address these injustices and increase economic growth in the developing world.
Italian Nobel laureate Rita Levi-Montalcini wasn't supposed to get involved in science because she was a Jew. Mussolini's government in the 1930s had banned Jews from academic careers. Undeterred, she simply set up a lab in her bedroom where she experimented on chicken embryos. She won her Nobel for work on cells, work that increased the understanding of cancer. She carried on several hours of research every day until her death her death at 103, a death that came after lunch as if she was falling asleep.
Senator Daniel Inouye, whose well-documented bravery while horribly wounded in WWII is almost beyond comprehension, led conservation of huge tracts of land for incorporation into Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Inouye, who vanquished several German soldiers with his right arm destroyed, said that his experiences rehabilitating from battle increased his commitment to health research for which he successfully secured funding.
Neil Armstrong and Sally Ride are justly profiled in the major magazine obituary retrospectives. As astronauts, their celebrity "fire power" is entirely understandable, but Neil Armstrong, though incredibly and repeatedly brave in battle and as a test pilot, was a proud engineer. Neil Armstrong and Sally Ride, a physicist with a Stanford degree, would agree that these other marvelous human beings — who moved forward science, technology, public health and the public policies that support these life-saving endeavors — should be well-recognized by the general public as well. Maybe leaders in these endeavors deserve more focus than second-tier TV stars.
At the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason & Science, we will continue to promote the values and policies that make this world a better place — and holding the people profiled here in the highest esteem is an essential part of that effort.
Dlaczego uratowanie milionów ludzi nie przekłada się na duży nekrolog?
Autor tekstu: Sean Faircloth
Tłumaczenie: Małgorzata Koraszewska
Zarówno w specjalnym wydaniu nekrologów "Farewell" pisma "Life", jak w ostatnim zeszłorocznym numerze pisma "Time" przedstawiono sylwetki dwojga ludzi nauki: Neila Armstronga i Sally Ride. Bardzo cieszę się, że to zrobiono. Oboje są wspaniałymi przykładami dla nas wszystkich. Niemniej, mimo że "Life" opublikował profil jednego z aktorów, który grał w starym programie telewizyjnym Moi trzej synowie, nie opublikowali niczego o wielu zmarłych naukowcach. Lubię gwiazdy filmowe. Rozkoszuję się mało znanymi zespołami rockowymi, ale jak piszę w mojej książce Afterword, wcześniejsze zestawy nekrologów słynnych ludzi wydają się pomijać tych, którzy wywarli długotrwały wpływ na nasze życie, daleko przyćmiewający drugorzędnych aktorów w starych serialach telewizyjnych.
Być może moglibyśmy pamiętać dr Mary Ellen Avery, która także zmarła w 2012 r., i której praca nad zapobieganiem śmierci wcześniaków uratowała, jak się szacuje, 800 tysięcy dzieci. Jak dotąd.
Pamiętajmy Williama Stauba, który wynalazł ruchomą bieżnię. Marudź, jeśli musisz, ale tym, którzy mieszkają w zimnym klimacie, bieżnia może pomóc zachować tempo pięciu minut na kilometr, a taka kondycja — zdaniem wielu naukowców – radykalnie poprawia funkcjonowanie układu krążenia. Sam William Staub używał swojego produktu dobrze po dziewięćdziesiątce, w zdrowiu i w pełni funkcjonując. Jego praca przedłużyła życie milionów (i, do diabła, słuchaj podczas jej używania audiobooków albo patrz na telewizor, ale nie marudź na bieżnię).
Praca Irvinga Millmana doprowadziła do stworzenia szczepionki na żółtaczkę B. Szczepionki trudno jest wprowadzać na rynek, bo nie dają wielkich dochodów przemysłowi farmaceutycznemu. Niemniej, raz wprowadzona, ta szczepionka uratowała życie mionom ludzi. Milionom! Dr Millman zdobył także Brązową Gwiazdę w drugiej wojnie światowej. Mało znani drugorzędni aktorzy telewizyjni? Oni mają nekrolog w "Time" i "Life". Ale nie dr Millman.

"Titanic" just hit an iceberg named "Avatar."
James Cameron's sci-fi spectacular replaced his maritime melodrama as the biggest international release of all time during the weekend and is on the verge of claiming its worldwide crown, which also includes North American receipts, distributor 20th Century Fox said on Sunday.
The News Corp-owned studio said "Avatar" has sold $1.841 billion worth of tickets worldwide during its unbroken six-week reign, and was a day or so away from surpassing the seemingly insurmountable $1.843 billion racked up by "Titanic" in 1997-1998.
The international portion stands at $1.288 billion, eclipsing the $1.242 billion haul of "Titanic."
In North America, "Avatar" may have to wait up to two weeks to sink the $601 million total of "Titanic," Fox said. Moviegoers in the United States and Canada have chipped in $552.8 million, enough to replace 2008's "The Dark Knight" ($533 million) as the second-biggest movie of all time.
Data are not adjusted for inflation, and "Avatar" ticket sales got an additional boost from premium pricing for 3-D screenings. Imax Corp said its big-screen engagements have sold a record $134 million worth of tickets worldwide.
The biggest movie of all time in North America -- adjusted for inflation -- s 1939's "Gone with the Wind," with sales of almost $1.5 billion, according to tracking firm Box Office Mojo. "Avatar" ranks No. 26 by that measure.
'Avatar' Rules in China, France
During the latest weekend, "Avatar" earned $36 million in North America and $107 million from 111 international markets, far outpacing other offerings.
It led the field in at least 29 foreign markets, including France ($123 million to date), China ($102 million), Germany ($96 million), Russia ($95 million) and Britain ($93 million).
In North America, "Avatar" was trailed by the new supernatural action thriller "Legion" at No. 2 with $18.2 million, while the Denzel Washington drama "The Book of Eli" slipped to No. 3 with $17 million in its second weekend.
"Legion," released by Sony Corp's Screen Gems budget label, cost about $25 million to make, and played primarily to men, the studio said. Paul Bettany, Lucas Black and Tyrese Gibson star in the tale of an of-the-way diner that becomes the unlikely battleground for the survival of the human race.
"Eli," a similarly themed apocalyptic drama released by Time Warner Inc's Warner Bros. Pictures on behalf of independent producer Alcon
Entertainment, has earned $62 million after 10 days.
Two other films opened in the top-10: Fox's Dwayne Johnson family film "The Tooth Fairy" at No. 4 with a promising $14.5 million, and the Harrison Ford medical drama "Extraordinary Measures" at No. 7 with a disappointing $7 million.
"Extraordinary Measures" is the debut release of CBS Corp's CBS
Films, which said its fact-based storyline about a father trying to save the lives of his children made it a tough sell. Older audiences in the Midwest and mountain areas were the primary demographic, the studio said.
Fox said "Tooth Fairy" played well across the board, despite or because of its depiction of former wrestler Johnson, a.k.a. "The Rock" in a tutu and wings.
"It's a very sweet, wonderful message movie," said Chris Aronson, Fox's senior vice-president of domestic distribution.

When Joan Smalls walks down a runway, she sometimes says to herself, "Get outta my way, I'm coming through!" And it's a mantra that has served her well. Last year, the 22-year-old model became the first Hispanic woman to represent Estée Lauder in its ads for cosmetics and skin care. Aerin Lauder may have touted Smalls as a "global beauty," but it took a while for anyone to take notice.
Smalls, who grew up in the Puerto Rican countryside, had been floating around the fashion industry since 2007, doing small-time runway shows for the likes of Benjamin Cho or Heatherette, or the occasional department-store catalog shoot, and she once appeared in a Ricky Martin video — but her look hadn't really caught on.
Current trends notwithstanding, the fashion world is a pretty matchy-matchy place. An Asian model here. A black model there. Rare and often fleeting points of color on the vast, blond landscape. Then, in a break Smalls describes as nothing short of a rebirth, Riccardo Tisci booked her exclusively for his 2010 fall/winter couture collection. A succession of Gucci campaigns followed. And stories in all of the requisite Vogues — British, Italian, French, American. And now she regularly walks for designers like Marc Jacobs, Rodarte and Alexander Wang.
But despite her meteoric rise, she remains very down-to-earth. When the money started to come in, her first splurge was a pickup truck for her dad. "I would love to see ethnic barriers abolished and an equal opportunity available to all," she says of her ambitions. "On a personal level, I would also like to achieve things professionally that no model has ever done before." (Top on her list for now: an American Vogue cover.)
All that may sound like an extremely tall order, even for a girl with the stamina of a fighter (she used to box for exercise back home in Puerto Rico) and legs that don't quit. When asked whom in the industry she most identifies with, she doesn't toss out the expected Iman or Beverly Johnson, and says, more generally, "models who have worked their way to an admirable career and have taken their time to get there." Which is perfectly in line with her personal definition of beauty: confidence.

When someone wins NAHA 5 times, there's something special about them. Add working behind the chair; an editorial list including The New York Times, Vanity Fair and Cosmopolitan; celebrity clients and top educator, and you have Ruth Roche, Redken Master Artist.
Ruth's also been a salon owner, so she knows what it takes to make it in this industry, and that's what makes her so relatable. She's just like other stylists…she knows the joy and pain of striving for goals and is willing to share the good, the bad and the fab to inspire others. Her down to earth coaching style sets people at ease, allowing them to understand and retain information better. And, the open safe community she cultivates with stylists enables them to develop their confidence and skills to a level where they can create anything imaginable.
A true creative master, she's known for both conceptual avant-garde styles, as well as every day hair. The common thread throughout all her work is that it's beautiful. Whether unusual or wearable, there's always an element of beauty involved. Her work is real, relatable and usable.
Ruth also works with salons to create stunning images for branding. She guides them through the process of learning the skills needed to create looks; execution of a photo shoot, including tips and tricks of photographing hair; and strategic planning on how to utilize the images for editorial, social, contests such as NAHA and brand identity. She stretches people's' imaginations while fostering their ability so they can attain their goals…usually with a chuckle or two along the way.
To stay fearless and fresh, Ruth works with Beauty Underground, a community of photographers, hairdressers, makeup artists, fashion stylists and models who collaborate in the name of art and inspiration. Recent Work: NYT, Tear, Estetica.

Richard Nixon Quotes
I ask for your support
Let historians not record that when America was the most powerful nation in the world we passed on the other side of the road and allowed the last hopes for peace and freedom of millions of people to be suffocated by the forces of totalitarianism. And so tonight—to you, the great silent majority of my fellow Americans—I ask for your support.

The average American is like a child
The average American is just like the child in the family. You give him some responsibility and he is going to amount to something. He is going to do something. If, on the other hand, you make him completely dependent and pamper him and cater to him too much, you are going to make him soft, spoiled and eventually a very weak individual.

Please help, please. My son, 14.5 yrs old has Crohn's. I am trying to slowly fade out of the SAD, Standard Amer. Diet, and introduce a semi-vegan. Everytime I research it, I get bits and pieces of the info. and then a lot of tapes and books to buy. Our budget doesn't allow for me to indulge much, if at all. How do ,I not only learn quickly, but teach two teenagers how to eat healthy when they are literally hungry all of the time? I grew up on the SAD, so I am a bit behind the 8 ball on this one. With that being said, I'm eager to learn for the sake of my boys. My biggest dilemna is they both go to boarding school and are literally living on processed food 4 days out of the week. I have resolved to supply them with their food for the week with homemade whole food. Where and how do I begin?
I'm so sorry to hear about your son's diagnosis! You are in a great place to get help. I'd highly suggest hunkering down and watching all of these videos and read the blogs. You will educate yourself and learn how to care for your son quickly. When you're in a crisis, nothing is too difficult. I'd highly suggest cutting out ALL fast food with no exceptions. If it does not grow in the ground, don't eat it.
Another resource that will help you in your quest to heal your son of Crohn's is http://www.drfuhrman.com He has some specific protocols for Crohn's patients. It's tricky.
The inflamed bowel desperately needs the phytonutrients to heal from the very thing that causes them to react. BUT….it will work. Join his member board and ask him directly AFTER you read his book, Eat to Live.
There is much hope.
Keep your head down and move forward! What seems so foreign now will be second nature soon, and your son will be living a thriving, healthy life!
WC, it was very kind of you to take the time and share your knowledge and this info. Can't thank you enough or tell you how much I appreciate it, but I really do.
Thank you for the blessings. I'll make sure I pass it on : )
Hi Traportka – The China Study is a great start in undertanding what our bodies, organs and cells go through each time we consume anything made from an animal. If man made it, or it grew not attached to the earth don't eat it. I am pretty sure Crohns is linked to dairy and animal product consumption. Also watch: A River of Waste; the truth on factory farming; free on youtube. Food Inc and Fast Food Nation are also great. This site is my number one choice to learn and educate yourself. One think you should change yesterday, is all dairy products. Don't bring them into the house at all. Three months after my family and I went cold turkey vegan; my personal achievements are these 1) no more migranes (used to get one every 3 weeks) 2) no more seasonal allergies (had spring fever for 17yrs!!) 3) no more dandruff (20+yrs of this) 4) reducing my weight by as much as 15lbs, and not reducing my caloric intake, in fact i think i consume over 4000 plant based calories. My colleagues and friends see the improvements in my skin. The skin is the teller of what we put into our bodies. Best of Health!
I blend & drink many green veggies & fruits daily. Can you please recommend the best way to ensure the greens are free of harmful bacteria (just read that raw greens are responsible for half the cases of food borne illness-can't imagine rinsing is effective on bacteria hiding in the nooks & crannies of curly kale) and advise as to the possibility of thyroid damage from too many oxalates. How much is too much kale/spinach/chard?
Also–is the blackberry gel used in oral cancer studies available or purchase? Thank you.
Most of those bacteria come from the and processed-in-the-field, packaged raw greens. Although there may be some slight risk to all things these days, opt for the greens pulled from the ground and brought to market with a tie around them. They are safer.
hello Dr.
Hope you are doing well.
I would like to have your comments on herbal treatment of poly cystic ovarian syndrome
It has been several years since I did an educational presentation involving nutrition and PCOS so I did a brief pub med search. It is a complex and fairly common syndrome. Not much has changed. Insulin resistance is an important aspect of PCOS and the best approach is a low fat diet… eliminate animal products because that is where patients typically get 80% of their fats but also plant fats such as processed oils. It is the fats that interfere with the insulins ability to get glucose into the cells and also down regulate genes interfering with the mitochondria's ability to metabolize glucose. Low fat diets also increase steroid binding globulin in the blood thus lowering free hormones. High fiber diet also helps remove steroids from the gut so they are not reabsorbed into the body. Phytosterols and fiber seem to be a helpful factor as well. I would suggest you review the four videos on fiber and phytosterols beginning on August 13 with http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-fiber-lowers-cholesterol/. Higher body fat is associated with worsening of PCOS. Fat loss is best accomplished by reducing your diets Calorie Density. For fat loss I recommend two resources. The DVD by Jeff Novick called Calorie Density: How to Eat More, Weigh Less and Live Longer and the presentation by Dr. Doug Lisle, How to Lose Weight without Losing you Mind, can view for free on internet, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAdqLB6bTuQ. I would emphasize a sound nutritional approach before using medications. I am not aware of any herbal remedies which are supported by sound peer reviewed scientific articles.
Can hypothyroidism be reverse with plant-based diet (the type of Hashimoto's or autoimmune)
Is whole wheat flour ok? Would about using a food processor or blender?
Hey! Just finished reading your new book and been eating good! Kinda a silly question but, is it normal for your poop to be green? Other than that, I'm doing great after just 2 weeks my blood pressure is way down I feel great and I got lots of enegry. Thanks for all you do. You saved my life. I didn't realize how bad meat was for you. It's too bad but it's reality!
Excellent, Ricky!
Having more green bowel movements is natural when increasing the greens you are eating and there is no need for concern.
Check out this video on the Bristol Stool Scale along with more info on bowel movements here
Congrats on making the shift! And the increases in energy and improvements in BP. So glad to hear it!
Best video ever! Thanks MG!
What are the best ways for essential nutrients to get digested effectively?
Sorry for the vague question, but I need better explanations or sources.

2015 Year in Review
Happy New Year one and all! 2015 has been a year of challenges, development and found us opportunities to create fabric solutions on a scale that has been exciting.
The Mud Room
Virtually any high traffic entry like kitchen doors, back entrances and employee entrances can benefit from a mud room. In addition to creating a space outside of the entrance for shoes, coats, and other items, a mud room creates an area which protects a building from changes in temperature.
Awning Fabric Replacement and Repair
The winter months are a great time to consider minor repairs or replacement of your awnings, patio covers and outdoor screens. You'll want that sun toasting the patios, porches and sides of your home or business anyway to cut down on interior heating costs. Rather than trying to let it go for another season and find that minor wear and tear is ripped by gusty winds in April or May (just when you need it!), look into it now.
Winter Patio Enclosures
Flexibility is the key to success in both the natural world and in business. In the winter when it's cold, we put on a heavy coat. When the weather changes, we dress in layers to peel off or add on to adjust to the temperature. In business we plan a budget to accommodate to circumstances from one year to the next. The same concept can be applied with great success to our personal environments.

I have had the opportunity to know and work with Representative Landgraf during her 6 years as a legislator and her time as a member of Fountain's City Council. Her honest and pragmatic insight into our community's problems and needs, as well as her willingness to examine the issues and listen closely to the public's questions and concerns, clearly makes her the best person for the job. It is my pleasure to endorse Lois for State Representative of House District 21.
Phil Thomas
Mayor pro Temp
Fountain City Council
I have worked with Lois Landgraf for a number of years, both in her position as a city Council woman in Fountain and now as our HD21 Colorado state representative. She is a stalwart conservative republican. I have witnessed her commitment and dedication to the citizens of her district. She understands the benefits of collaboration and the working relationships between elected officials and the community. I am proud to lend my support and endorsement to Lois in her bed for re-election.
Sheriff Bill Elder, El Paso County
For the three years that I have served on the State Board of Education I have appreciated Lois Landgraf's leadership on education issues. The statements made by her opponent that she has in anyway supported Common Core are completely inaccurate and in fact she has assisted the efforts of the Republicans on the State Board of Education to eliminate Common Core from Colorado standards and curriculum. I am proud to work with her to resist the federal intrusion into Colorado's public schools. I look forward to working with Lois in the future to improve education for our children and keep Colorado free of Common Core and other federal education schemes.
Steve Durham Member, Colorado State Board of Education 5th Congressional District
