Becky Shaw
The best laid schemes oft go awry. Max (Rupert Reid), a cynical straight-talking financier, and Becky (Anna Lise Phillips), highly strung and self-doubting, are hardly a perfect match. When Suzanna (Catherine Moore) and Andrew (Matthew Zeremes) set Max up on a date with Becky, no one could have predicted the horrifyingly hilarious outcomes. Suzanna #39;s recently widowed mother Susan (Sandy Gore) provides an acerbic commentary on money and class and the ethics of moral responsibilities. Sweet, funny and sharp, BECKY SHAW is peppered with moments of schadenfreude as the variously dysfunctional characters careen towards the implosive finale. SYDNEY MORNING HERALD: "Crawford #39;s well-balanced cast clearly have the measure of Gionfriddo #39;s sardonic humour. Phillips excels in the title role, by turns goofy, pitiful then edgy as Becky #39;s passivity switches to something more passive-aggressive. Reid is very good, too, playing an archetype whose ruthless put-downs and non-PC pronouncements mask a fear of rejection rooted in a blighted childhood. Moore and Zemeres winningly sound the comic notes in the hapless newlyweds and Sandy Gore expertly grabs our attention in the weighty walk-on role of Susan #39;s multiple sclerosis-afflicted mother, who has developed her own acerbic insights on the give and take of human relationships. All up, this is a smart piece of programming: a clever, non-patronising and open-ended comedy with obvious cross-generational appeal."

Week 14: Disability Studies
Mike Selck, Senior at SIUC presenting on Disability Studies Disability Studies- What does it mean? This is a complex relationship- has to hold both social and individual perspectives in a unique balance. Disability as a social construct- Interesting notion because the first thought here is how? What is it about my rhetoric or language uniquely responsible for the existence of a disability? That question is important to answer what a Disability truly is. I wont cite many authors here, but I feel that this one is necessary. Disabled Persons International a) Disability is the functional limitation within the individual caused by physical, mental, or sensory impairment, and b) Disability as the loss or limitation of opportunities to take part in the normal life of the community on an equal level with others due physical or social barriers. Impairment is defined as a form of biological, cognitive, sensory or psychological difference that is define often within a medical context. And disability is the negative social reaction to those differences. Identifying the Oppression is key- Disablism and or/ both and ableism. This perspective comes from a unique form called the Social Barriers Approach- Models like the medical model hold that a body becomes disabled because of the presence of impairment. -For instance my dad had to use a wheelchair because of his Multiple Sclerosis. The medical model indicates my dad #39;s body was disabled because he had MS and used a wheelchair ...From:criticalpraxisViews:147 2ratingsTime:33:12More inEducation

Gluten Reactivity testing
http://www.drliesa.com "Gluten Reactivity testing" You have probably heard something about more and more people being sensitive to gluten or at least have noticed that there is often a gluten-free offering section on the menu these days. What #39;s up with that? In the old days, gluten was just a problem for the few people with Celiac Disease. Not anymore. Especially since the introduction of genetically modified grains, there is a huge surge in the number of people who shouldn #39;t eat foods containing gluten. A problem is that traditional lab testing is only looking for Celiac, which is the tip of the iceberg. There are frequently false negatives on the standard tests. This is because there are actually 12 antigens to gluten and gliadin, but the standard tests are only checking for 1. The actual huge iceberg is the group of people who have non-Celiac gluten reactivity. This means that their immune system is reacting to the gluten. They may or may not have digestive symptoms when they eat gluten. They might just have some brain fog, some joint pain, feel tired, or they might feel fine and just have slightly elevated liver enzymes. The fact is that if they have an immune response at all, they need to stop gluten completely and forever. Otherwise, it can lead to liver cancer, dementia, thyroid problems, skin problems like psoriasis or rashes, ADD, joint pains, and predispose to many of the diseases you may have heard of like MS (multiple sclerosis). There is only one test that I ...From:Liesa HarteViews:3 0ratingsTime:02:25More inEducation

Poems at an Exhibition
"I begin with an idea and then it becomes something else," Picasso. What started as a documentary of a one-man art show becomes a video poem on disability. In this work Dr. Young blends his art, poetry, animation, and music into a creative autobiographic documentary of his family #39;s attempts to cope with disability. His wife has multiple sclerosis, his daughter is hearing impaired, even the dog is mostly blind. This multi-media presentation shows how they overcome the challenges of loss, pain, rejection, and despair with laughter, courage and love. With interviews, by and of each family member, emotions emerge as spontaneously as the improvisational background music. In the end, this video points beyond one man #39;s family to the needs of all families who struggle with disabilityFrom:jgyoungmdViews:0 0ratingsTime:04:03More inPeople Blogs
