The Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is looking for a swift response from his side to their defeat at Everton when they take on Fulham at Old Trafford today.
United went down 1-0 in their Premier League opener at Goodison Park on Monday night thanks to Marouane Fellaini's second-half header. It was the first time in eight years that the Red Devils had lost their opening league fixture of the season and they now face a Fulham side who last weekend started superbly by thrashing Norwich 5-0.
Ferguson is mindful of the west London club's threat, but is demanding nothing less than a positive reaction from his team – and is confident they will deliver.
"I went to see Fulham last Saturday and they played very well," Ferguson said. "It's a club that's grown tremendously since Roy [Hodgson] got them to the [2010] Europa League final.
"The place is buzzing with a full house every week and there's a good atmosphere around the place. They have a lot of experience in their team. It won't be an easy game, but we're at home and we need to make an impact quickly after losing on Monday night, and we expect that."
Robin van Persie came off the bench to make his United debut in the Everton match and the Netherlands striker – signed for £24m last week from Arsenal – looks set to be promoted to the first XI, with Ferguson saying there was "every chance" he could start against Fulham.
The manager also confirmed Van Persie's Dutch compatriot and fellow recruit, full-back Alexander Büttner, will be involved, most likely starting on the bench, and that he will once again be without the defensive quartet –Phil Jones (back), Jonny Evans, Chris Smalling (both foot) and Rio Ferdinand (leg) – that were unavailable for the Goodison Park contest, although Jones has now returned to training.
Büttner, whose move to United from Vitesse Arnhem was confirmed on Tuesday, is the fourth new arrival of the summer at Old Trafford following the signings of Van Persie and midfielders Nick Powell and Shinji Kagawa, while United also announced this week that striker Angelo Henriquez is to join them from Universidad de Chile having been granted a work permit.
Ferguson said United will not be buying any more players in the current transfer window after a deal for Chilean 18-year-old Henriquez is tied up in the next few days.
"We definitely won't be buying anyone else, that is for sure," he said.
Striker Dimitar Berbatov and winger Nani have been linked with moves away from Old Trafford and asked if there would be any likely departures, Ferguson said: "There is no movement I can tell you about, to be honest.
"There is only a few days left now until the deadline and that will pass quite quickly I would imagine."
Ferguson signed Büttner as back-up to Patrice Evra. "We've been monitoring Alexander for a while," Ferguson added. "He's a straightforward attacking, quick full-back who will be a terrific addition to our squad. Patrice is in his thirties now, although he is still a fit lad. Alex gives us a good back-up and a good challenge for that position."
The 23-year-old, who was unveiled yesterday, said: "I feel good. It's a dream for me to play for a big club like United. I can't wait to play for the team and let people see what I can do.
"I know I have to wait for my chance. I can learn so much from Patrice and cannot wait to play with him. It's a nice club, everyone has helped me settle."

I travel on my own almost constantly these days; traversing the country working everywhere from small towns to large cities. During these trips I usually end the day having dinner in a local bar, grill, bistro, or in many cases – a hotel dining room by myself. Since I usually do not want to take up an entire table, the bar seems to be the natural place to dine. It certainly beats sitting at an empty table alone. As a result, I have become quite an authority on dining at the bar. Unfortunately, many bartenders have difficulty with my choice; they seem to think that the bar is intended for drinking and not for dining. As a result, I often feel that both my meals and the service from the bar get a little bit "short changed".
I recently had a refreshing break from this routine at a restaurant in Atlanta called JCT. Kitchen and Bar (said like "Junction" Kitchen and Bar). The restaurant is situated in a former meat packing district which is part of the Westside Urban Market, located in the Western Atlanta suburbs down by the train tracks. JCT Kitchen and Bar has great live music on Fridays and Saturdays, indoor and outdoor seating, and features extraordinary views of the Atlanta skyline up on the roof.
The best thing of all, however, is their food. Their menu is not the standard parade of burgers, wings and things that you get at many local bistros. JCT. blends a French bistro sensibility with the flavors and textures of the old favorites of modern Southern cuisine. Menu items include such things as a wonderful grilled cheese sampler with caramelized onions and wild mushrooms, aged and blue vein cheeses. They also serve an airy "cloud like" potato gnocchi with an intense veal jus and fresh herbs. Another plate consists of wafer thin country ham with fiery mustards, assorted "little pickles", and rustic breads. If you'd like to break the conventional Atlanta Buckhead mold, check out JCTkitchen.com.

Grandpa's Early Old Heavy Iron and Wood Embossed Mallet – 1890
What an interesting and unusual piece this is, found just this last weekend here in the heart of farm country. This mallet, which measures 13 ¾" long, is embossed on both sides of the iron head, but unfortunately, it is for the most part unreadable. It appears that on one side, it looks like the numbers "1890" which would be about right for the date on this piece.
Weighing just under 2 lbs., this early mallet shows wear from age and use. It appears that both flat sides are wood, and the iron covers the wooden block interior. The heavy iron head is solidly attached to the handle. This wonderful old mallet would make a great display in your country cupboard or early vintage tool collection!

I am taking No2 and I was wondering if you knew any of the side effects. Does NO2, like steroids, shrinks your testicles? Would you happen to know if it would effect a person with a bleeding disorder like vonwilibrans or hemophilia? Does it for sure give you strength? Not just muscle but strength?.
The great thing about NO2 products is that, assuming you do not have pre-existing medical conditions, they work well. Unlike other supplements, N02 products are relatively free of side effects. Having said that, nothing is side-effect free.
N02 products contain Arginine Alpha-KetoGlutarate (A-AKG). The production of Nitric Oxide occurs when the amino acid L-arginine is converted into L-citruline through an enzyme group known as Nitric Oxide Synthase (NOS). For more information on the process of chemical conversion, refer to the information page that I wrote on N02 - Nitric Oxide.
To put your mind at ease, there is no known scientific evidence to suggest that supplementation of a nitric oxide precursor will shrink your testicles. In fact, given that the chief purpose of nitric oxide is to expand blood vessels, the reverse would be expected. While nitric oxide serves to enhance erection and increase ejaculate fluid levels, no evidence has emerged to suggest that it enlarges the scrotum. So, nitric oxide has neither positive nor negative aesthetic effects on the scrotum or testicles.
Regarding individuals with pre-existing medical conditions and bleeding disorders, I would strongly recommend against supplementing with a nitric oxide precursor. Individual suffering from hemophilia already have difficulty forming blood clots. The inability to form blood clots can result in death, even from a minor injury. Because nitric oxide supplements increase blood flow, should a hemophiliac on nitric oxide sustain injury, it is theoretically possible that the chances of a fatal injury are increased. Persons with pre-existing medical conditions should be careful when selecting any supplement, N02 products included. As always, and especially in this case, consultation with a physician is strongly recommended.
Because I have already conducted an uncontrolled trial on NO2, I will direct your attention to that publication should you wish to know about the products efficacy and ergogenic capabilities.
Your articles are great, very refreshing, and I appreciate the sincerity of your opinions. My question is this: Is a protein powder or supplement before bedtime really any better than, say, some cottage cheese or a can of plain tuna fish? I do appreciate any advice you can give. Thank you, and keep up the good work!
Thank you for your kind words. When people first begin to bodybuild one issue that they usually struggle with is the question of whole foods vs. supplements. Is one kind of protein superior to another? Should I be eating chicken or tuna? Can I avoid having to eat this type of meat and simply replace it with a protein powder? On and on the questions go.
Questions relating to nutrition are extremely important. Nutrition is what will make or break your bodybuilding career. It will decide whether you are a success, or a failure. So, it is very important that you discover the answers to your nutrition related questions sooner rather than later. The quick and dirty answer to your question is: it depends. Everything in bodybuilding is relative.
On the one hand if you are attempting to diet down, then I would recommend going with a casein protein powder before bed. This will allow you take advantage of casein's time released properties (thus maintaining even blood amino acid levels over time) without having to consume the carbohydrates present in cottage cheese. On the other hand, if you are not too concerned about dropping bodyfat and simply desire a time-released slow-acting anti-catabolic protein, cottage cheese should be more than adequate to serve this purpose. This is not to say, however, that you can not get the best of both worlds.
Some professionals will consume cottage cheese before bed and will set their alarm clocks for four hours later. At this time they will consume a protein shake, to offset the catabolism associated with sleeping and not eating for long periods of time. I have done this for some time and can verify that it is an effective practice.
I don't recommend tuna fish before bed. The reason is that tuna fish protein is less biologically active, and while (because it is solid and because it is animal protein) it will be metabolized more slowly than a protein powder (eg. Whey), it lacks the time-released qualities of casein.
Two great publications written by a couple of my colleagues are The Protein Bible and Protein Supplements vs. Protein Foods. I do not usually endorse or recommend many publications, but I direct your attention to these publications, simply because they are outstandingly well done, and anything else I would say on the matter would be somewhat redundant. If you want to know how different types of protein function (and thus when it is appropriate to consume one type over another), read those publications.
After you have done this, and when you are ready to purchase a protein powder to suit your needs, you can read two of my publications: What should you look for in a protein powder? and My Review on Optimum Nutrition's 100% Whey.
I must like everyone else start off by saying that I really enjoy reading your articles because they are so informative. My question is about supplements.
I want to start taking glutamine but am unsure about which specific product to use as well as the correct amount to take. I am looking for a mid-range product. I want quality but don't want to use the most expensive product on the market. Could you please recommend a glutamine product for me? I would also appreciate your advice on a creatine product other than Cell-Tech. I like the taste of the product but have heard mixed reviews and would like a recommendation or input for a better product if possible. I would like a product I can take with water as compared to those I have to take with juice. Once again, a mid-range product would be ideal.
My last question concerns the amount of protein I am taking. I currently take between 170 and 200 grams per day. Would you recommend any more or less? I consistently eat around 2000 calories per day. Thank you so much for your help.
Wow! That is a lot of questions, but I guess it pays to get them all in there in one shot if you are going to ask anyway.
Glutamine is a great anti-catabolic supplement, and is the primary excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain. It serves a wide variety of purposes, not the least of which is pituitary gland stimulation, resulting in an increase on somatropin levels.
If I were to "recommend" a glutamine product, it would have to be either Higher Power Glutamine Powder or Optimum Nutrition Glutamine Powder. From what you have told me, I would recommend that you go with the Higher Power product. You get 5 grams of glutamine per serving (compared with 4.5 for Optimums glutamine) and the cost is roughly four dollars cheaper. As bodybuilders, we all know how money can be tight sometimes. If you want a brand name that you can trust, Higher Power is always a safe and trusted bet.
As for creatine monohydrate, I would recommend going with a simple creatine monohydrate product. It is up to you if you take it with water (although I would not), or with juice. If you do not want to take your creatine with juice, you can mix it with Gatorade or an electrolyte replacement drink for a post-workout shake. Follow this up roughly 25-30 minutes later with 40-60 grams of whey.
The great thing about creatine monohydrate is that it is very cost effective, and long gone are the days of Chinese creatine of questionable quality. Because capitalism works, the consumer benefits from the virtual glut of creatine manufacturers. Personally, I really like (and use) the product manufactured by Prolab. Again, a cheaper alternative is manufactured by Higher Power Nutrition. You can get 1000 grams of Higher Power creatine for $19.99. This saves you about four dollars over the Prolab product.
As for your nutrition, I would recommend eating more calories. From what you have told me, your protein intake sounds sufficient, but your calories are too low. A great way to increase calories without adding bodyfat is to use Omega oils. They are calorically dense, will skyrocket your testosterone, and will help you get stronger. The extra calories will give you the mass you are looking for, while the fats will help you get stronger, thus giving you even more mass gains. Old fashioned peanut butter is a great food for bumping up calories while avoiding feelings of fullness. Whatever road you decide to travel, try increasing your calories and get ready to grow.
I'm currently 18 and am looking into steroids. If I choose to use them, it will not be until I am 19-20 and am living away from home at college.
It has been said that oral steroids do more liver damage than injectables when used in "high doses, and for long duration." I could understand this to be true, but with some of the cycles you recommended, should this even be a problem (assuming my liver is in great condition)? Also, is alcohol forbidden when on a cycle of steroids? Finally, is there such a cycle that uses only oral steroids of one type, and could it be successful? If so, could I get some brand names of the types?
Because you did not provide me with your particulars (ie. how long you have been training, current strength and muscle mass levels, nutrition regimen, etc) I am unable to recommend a specific cycle, or say that it would or would not be appropriate for you. I suspect, however, that like most young people, you are NOWHERE NEAR your genetic potential. I am also going to assume that, like most young trainers, your nutrition is far from appropriate or adequate. Often the college or high school life leads itself to eating "whenever."
So, this results in the following advice: because you are young, I suggest getting your nutrition under control (if it is not so already), maximizing your recovery plan, as well as your workout plans. There is little sense in taking a cycle of gear for mass, when you are, say, using cable movements most of the time. In my view, a workout focusing predominantly on cable movements during a steroid cycle for mass, is a waste of good gear. Only a fool would attempt it.
Due to your age, my first inclination would be to tell you to wait to take steroids. There are three reasons for this. The first reason is that your natural testosterone and hormone levels are optimal, and you do not want to mess them up. At your age and at this stage in the game you can still make solid gains naturally. The second and third reasons are that it is best to take steroids when your natural levels drop, and it is best to wait because you want to keep your receptor sites as clean as possible so that when you do juice, you need as little as possible. By keeping receptor sites clean, you can get the same results with a smaller amount of steroid hormone.
You are correct in noting that the cycles I outline are mild. That's the point. A very small amount of steroid can make you look and feel amazing; too much steroid can destroy your health. Given that most of us will never beat Mr. Olympia in any contest (bodybuilding or otherwise), it is best to be realistic and juice accordingly.
Because each steroid possesses a unique profile whether or not a steroid cycle will result in liver harm will depend upon the type of steroid being used. For example, anadrol 50 is an oral steroid and even in low doses can be severely toxic to the liver. Even dianabol (1 7-alpha-methyl-1 7beta-hydroxil-androsta-1.4dien-3-on) can have some effect on the liver when taken long term. For you, though, a good cycle with dianabol (or Eastern bloc equivalent) would be 15-20mg per day for 8-10 weeks. Keep in mind that dianabol can aromatize, and thus you may experience water retention or possibly gynocomastia. If you want to avoid this, take something like nolvaex. After your cycle, you can use some clomid at 50-100mg per day to get your natural testosterone levels jump-started.
What did you think of this years Mr. Olympia results? Do you think Ronnie deserved to win? I think Jay should have won, and Lee Priest got the shaft!
This years Mr. Olympia was exciting because of the new talent, and was, as expected, Ronnie Colemans show. No one can argue with any credibility that Jay Cutler should have beat Ronnie; at least not this year. Here are the reasons that I say this.
1. Ronnie had better separation in his hamstrings than Jay.
Anyone who watched the prejudging and saw side comparisons of both mens hamstrings must realize that although Jay's quads are freaky and can take on the best of competitors, his hamstrings are almost invisible from the side when compared to Colemans. From the side, his hams look smooth, and a bodypart needs to look good from all angles.
2. Ronnies glutes were fantastic.
When it comes to women, I admire great gluteus. Normally, I don't look at a guys butt, but(t!) when it comes to bodybuilding an exception is necessary. Again, from the prejudging and even the evening show, it is obvious that Ronnies ass was shredded to the max! Jay was pretty vascular in that area as well, but Ronnie beat him on that shot.
3. Ronnie's back is thick and wide.
As always, Colemans back was phenomenal. Amazing. Classic Ronnie. Even Franco wouldn't smoke Ronnie in this area, and Franco looked like a tortoise from the back.
Ronnies back isn't just wide, its thick - amazingly thick. The guy's back is like a huge shell. It must be Christmas everyday at the Coleman residence with that Christmas tree Ronnie carries around on his back 24/7! There was no man on the stage, past or present, that could compete. The thickness and width blew Cutler, and everyone else, away. Adios, Jay, maybe next year.
4. Ronnie has a better chest than Jay.
Ronnie also has awesome thickness in his chest, which Cutler can't match. Granted, Cutlers chest is mighty thick - AND freaky - but not enough to match Coleman, who is a freaks freak. I bet if Coleman put a soda can between each of his pecs and flexed, he could make a soda can explode!
5. Coleman has superior biceps and triceps.
Ronnies arms - not just the biceps - are, without doubt, the best that the sport and the world has ever know. He has the best arms on the planet - period!
Check out some awesome pre-judging photos, click here!
Jay is a great athlete, and will, someday soon, be Mr. Olympia. Could he ever beat Ronnie? Yes, but only if Ronnie makes a lot of mistakes with his contest prep. If Ronnie shows up and is in shape, he will win the show without question.
As for Lee Priest, don't get me started on that. I think that Lee is a great athlete with an incredible career. Lee is the man, the myth, the legend. Unfortunately, this year he had a poor showing, and in my view deserved it.
First of all, what was up with the hair? A new twist on Lee? Perhaps, but it worked against him. His hair was too long, and clashed with the rest of his body. Markus Ruhl had his hair the same color several years ago and placed poorly because he looked hideous. After Markus changed his hair color, his contest placings improved. I guess Lee didn't notice Markus's example. Besides, common sense should tell Lee that the David LEE Roth look expired with the 1980's. Looks like Lee's career will expire soon if he doesn't chop the mop.
David Lee Roth & Lee Priest.
Secondly, Lee's quads and hams were soft, and he had ZERO definition in his glutes. He looked pretty smooth all over, was retaining some water in the typical areas, and looked like Goldie locks. Something must have happened with Lee's prep. I would never take anything away from Lee, but he either waited too late to prepare, or he tried to experiment and got a poor result. Regardless, he didn't show up in shape and the judges slapped him accordingly.

The goal of the present study was to investigate the influence of urbanization on the richness, abundance and composition of arthropod communities associated with creosote bush, Larrea tridentata [DC] Cov., in Phoenix, Arizona. Arthropod communities were sampled in two desert types varying in degree of urbanization including fringe deserts (relatively undisturbed expanses of desert outside of Phoenix) and urban deserts (patches of desert within the urban core of Phoenix). Two studies were conducted including (1) a seasonal study (conducted at two fringe desert and two urban desert sites over a nine-month period), and (2) a snapshot study (conducted at multiple fringe desert and urban desert sites over an eight-day period). Results from both studies demonstrated that overall richness and abundance of creosote bush arthropod communities were lower in urban deserts than in fringe deserts. Additionally, creosote bush arthropod community composition varied greatly, both temporally and spatially. These differences in richness and abundance between fringe deserts and urban deserts suggest that the creosote bush arthropod community may be a useful focal biotic community to monitor when assaying for environmental change due to urbanization in arid habitats.

Pain. It can break the strongest of us. Sometimes it is sudden and sharp, cracking like thunder, sending bolts of electric agony through us. Other times it might roll in like a fog, slowly enveloping and separating us from the world until it is our new normal. Pain can suck the joy out of life, if you let it. Christina Evans knows all-too-well about pain, but she chose to do something about it and changed her life for the better.
Christina's story begins in 2006 when she started to experience neck pain on a regular basis. Usually the discomfort would last about a week, and then life would return to normal. Over the course of the next three years it began happening more often, and soon things began to get worse. Her limbs alternated between numbness and pain, she endured two pregnancies made difficult by her mysterious condition, and was forced to wear wrist braces just to do simple tasks. Then one day she woke to find the entire left side of her body numb, and what wasn't numb was radiating with intense pain. An emergency MRI was ordered and Christina finally discovered the cause of all her pain: syringomyelia.
Syringomyelia is a very rare disease in which a cyst forms within your spinal cord. As the cyst grows over time it compresses and damages the spinal cord, causing pain, weakness, numbness, migraines, bowel control issues, difficultly with speaking and swallowing, paralysis and more. Some cases of syringomyelia are treatable, usually with surgery, but not Christina's.
Without a cure, with the cyst growing and her pain increasing, Christina struggled to live a normal life. She couldn't work, could barely parent and was considering going on disability. She lived in constant pain and a drug-induced haze.
"I was taking pills up to 5 times a day," says Christina. "Maximum doses of anti-depressants, anti-anxiety medication, nerve pain, different opiates, muscles relaxants, maximum dose pain killers. I would get injections in my spine monthly to calm the pain."
After hitting her lowest point Christina decided she needed to make a change, and just do… something. Eventually she discovered yoga, which was the start of her healing journey. The ancient practice helped to restore some mobility to the young mother, but it didn't remove the pain brought on by her incurable disease.
During the many hours she was bedridden and barely able to move Christina did what so many of us do, she spent time online: connecting with others, researching her condition, looking for hope in alternative places. It was there that she first began to hear about cannabis oil. With nothing to lose and everything to gain, Christina decided to give cannabis oil a try.
Christina started slow, taking a tiny dose and slowly building her tolerance. Within three days she felt a difference, sleeping better and feeling good. Within a week her chronic pain had noticeably diminished. By the end of her second week she began to reduce her reliance on her other medications and by the end of eight weeks she was almost completely weaned off of her many pills.
Month by month Christina has continued to improve, her migraines are thing of the past, the anxiety and depression are under control. The nerve pain, restless legs and night sweats are gone.
Recently she went to visit her neurologist and get a new MRI. Neither one of them was prepared for the results. The cyst on Christina's spine had actually shrunk, her spine is healing. Her physician, unsure at first, is now fully behind her continued use of CanniMed 10:10 cannabis oil and yoga practice.
Her life is hers again. She's back at work, at a new job at her yoga studio. More importantly she's rediscovered her love for life again, and cherishes every moment.
"I'm virtually pain free," she enthuses. "I'm enjoying being a Mom and being with my kids."
It was all because she chose not to let the pain win, to fight against it, to take a chance.

"For what can be imagined more beautiful than the sight of a perfectly just city rejoicing in justice alone."
With the Decline and Fall of the Borders Empire still billowing black smoke in the distance, cultural commentators are waxing smug about the impending doom of the printed word. The bookselling business is doomed, they sneer. Or at least it is supposedly about to be absorbed by electrical osmosis, hurtling every old classic or well-written modern book into the world of an internet virtual Tron-like existence. Barnes & Noble, they lecture us, has only survived this long in our progressive modern age because they branched out into other more useful technological things like eBooks, the "NOOK©" (whatever the hell that is), games ("educational" computer games), CDs, DVDs, BlueRays, and a huge
In the age we live in, little mom & pop used bookstores are considered a thing of the past. And while they may be firmly entrenched little bastions and beacons of the past, they are being killed off, silently, one by one. As young people continue to voraciously and insatiably social network themselves into oblivion, they are going to have less time, patience and cash free to waste at the old folks literary stores when they could simply download whatever latest e-book their hipster friends told them is cool: (a) with only a mouse-click and (b) without suffering the withdrawal one experiences when one happens to momentarily glance away from a fluorescently lit screen (and, let's face it, one has to do that in order to avoid the inconvenience of slamming one's face into the actual physical door of a material bookstore).

"You see that," said Humpstone John, indicating the ship's name in white. "That's writing."
"What's writing?" asked Auriga Bootes, staring at the funnel, which he thought might be what Humpstone John called writing.
"That," said Humpstone John, pointing directly at the bow. Auriga Bootes leaned over and jiggled an anchor on his fingers.
"This?" he asked.
"No! That white stuff, there."
"Oh, that. That's writing, huh. What does it do?"
"It's like talking, but it makes no sound."
"It's like talking, but it makes no sound," Auriga Bootes repeated. Then he and Abysmillard laughed deep, fat, snorting laughs. Sometimes, they thought, Humpstone John, despite his wisdom, was truly a fool.
There are still a few lone diehards out there. Eric Ormsby reviews kindred spirit Alberto Manguel's book, A History of Reading, and points out -
The printed book's physicality presents a challenge to e-books, however convenient they are. We tend to remember the look and heft of a book that we fell in love with. Will we feel the same about the ghostly glimmerings of a monitor? In his superb "A History of Reading," Alberto Manguel caught this aspect of old- fashioned reading to perfection: "I too soon discovered that one doesn't simply read 'Crime and Punishment' or 'A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.' One reads a certain edition, a specific copy, recognizable by the roughness or smoothness of its paper, by its scent, by a slight tear on page 72 and a coffee ring on the right-hand corner of the back cover."
I don't know if I have the intellect or the courage to write it, but someday someone somewhere needs to write the argument for why the printed page is to be valued over the computer/Blackberry/I-Phone/I-Pad/Motorala Droid screen. I have just an inkling of a few ideas on how a printed page does something different to your brain than a computer screen. But these ideas are continually laughed to scorn by the modern part of me that reminds my sentimentally antiquated self how there have always been old fogy curmudgeons who decry the advances of new and useful technology. And thus, my incipient ideas cower back into the shadows. I do, however, continue to collect, read and mark up the margins of physical books.
Every rare once in a while, you unexpectedly happen upon a treasure. Hopefully, you know the feeling. This treasure gives you an intense joy, if only for one moment in time. In our world, joy is fleeting. As C.S. Lewis wrote, we spend more of our time with our memories of our little moments of joy than we get to actually spend experiencing them, themselves. Often once you realize what you are experiencing, the experience is gone. For me personally, these moments rarely and occasionally come to me when I begin reading a book for the first time written by an author that I didn't even know existed. Sometimes it's just one line of dialogue. Sometimes it's the pathos of a situation that the writer somehow manages to describe so perfectly that you feel like you are there experiencing it yourself. Sometimes it's the music of a string of English words crafted into a single sentence so expertly by a writer who may himself not even have realized how good that sentence really is. It works with a number of things (similar to music), as Helprin writes on pg. 420, "... Then the bow orchestra began to play an apocalyptically beautiful canon, one of those pieces in which, surely, the composer simply transcribed what was given, and trembled in awe of the hand that was guiding him."
Winter's Tale is a treasure, a little bit of fairy tale joy blended with realism, modernity, and a portrait of the history of New York City.
The author, Mark Helprin, is an American, cultured and well-traveled man of the world. His life so far looks like an adventure story of its own. It is daunting to even look at the education that he's been given - Harvard, then Harvard's Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, then Oxford, then Princeton and Columbia. Helprin is also a military man. He's spent years serving in the British Merchant Navy, the Israeli infantry, and the Israeli Air Force. It is an understatement to say that he writes prodigiously. First of all he has written countless columns and essays on art, politics and culture for decades. He has been, or is being, regularly published in The Wall Street Journal, The New Yorker, National Review, The Atlantic Monthly, The New Criterion, Commentary, The New York Times, the Claremont Review of Books, American Heritage, Forbes ASAP, and other scholarly publications. Secondly, he has written 5 novels, 3 books of short stories, children's stories, and recently published the nonfiction work, Digital Barbarism last year.
The Catalog of Contemporary Authors describes Helprin's writing as follows:
"Helprin blends elements of fantasy with realistic social settings to create imaginative, fable-like works with moral implications. His protagonists typically undertake sundry comic adventures through which they gain a humane perspective of life. With 'A Dove of the East' (1975), a collection of his early short stories, Helprin established a reputation for inventing extravagant plots and characters. His first novel, 'Refiner's Fire: The Life and Adventures of Marshall Pearl, A Foundling' (1977), relates a young man's escapades around the world through a series of heroic exploits that some critics likened to works of the picaresque-romance tradition.
It seems to me that a large number of book reviews today take the reader through a detailed Cliff-Notes versions of the story and then just leave out the ending. I'm not going to do that. The overarching story is too good for me to steal from you the pleasure of discovering it for yourself. Just be prepared for something you're not quite used to. Like George MacDonald, Helprin has written a sort of sanctified fantasy - a modern story where magic is real and yet, because of allusions to where it comes from, doesn't seem that far-fetched. His Christianity continually breaks through in his writing. But, there is nothing overtly "Christian" about the novel itself so as to get it sold in a Christian bookstore.
Like Charles Dickens, the characters are numerous. And some of them, like Pearly Soames, swagger across the pages larger than life. There are, at the very least, three different romances that happen to different important characters in the story. There are angels. There is a flying horse. There is time-travel. There is a dark crypt. There are heroes and heroines. There is evil. There's war, gang-fights, political campaigns, burglars, mysteries, loving families, multiple adventures, battling newspapers, angry mobs, arsonists, kindly & philosophical old men and women, keenly perceptive little children, and unstable characters who focus on mastering the laws of the universe so as to wield powers that then seem to only originate from another realm or dimension.
pg. 192 -
It would explain the strong feeling Peter Lake had that every action in the world had eventual consequences and would never be forgotten, as if it were entered in a magnificent ledger of unimaginable complexity.
"THERE WAS a white horse, on a quiet winter morning when snow covered the streets gently and was not deep, and the sky was swept with vibrant stars, except in the east, where dawn was beginning in a light blue flood. The air was motionless, but would soon start to move as the sun came up and winds from Canada came charging down the Hudson."
It's a little matter of personal prejudice on my part, but I am, as a general rule, put off by any indication that I am about to read a story about a horse. But there is something different about Helprin's prose that attracts. It is easy to imagine how other modern novels would begin with the same idea -
And Winter's Tale is not a story about a horse. Instead, the horse is just one important character of an entire host of well-developed & soon to be loved cast of characters. You soon get the impression that Helprin's imagination was on fire when he wrote this, and that fact alone is a treasure in and of itself. As the story continues, this horse turns out to be something more than he at first appears.
"He moved like a dancer, which is not surprising: a horse is a beautiful animal, but it is perhaps most remarkable because it moves as if it always hears music."
pg. 87 -
"'What are you?' Peter Lake asked quietly. The horse then turned to look at him, and, he saw, with a chill, that the eyes were infinitely deep, opening like a tunnel to another universe. The horse's silence suggested that the beauty of his gentle black eyes had something of all that ever was or would be. And, like every horse, he was incorruptibly innocent. Peter Lake touched the soft nose and took the big face in his arms. 'Good horse,' he said. But, somehow, the animal's equanimity made Peter Lake very sad."
Peter Lake, by the way, is one of the main protagonists of the novel. He's a mechanic and a professional thief (sort of an American version of E.W. Hornung's Raffles). Without giving away too much of the story, let's just say that he understands things about the way machines work that becomes important later for the universe contained within Helprin's novel.
pg. 163 -
"I was not born to be protected, but, I warrant, to protect." ________________________________________________________________________________
Unlike Raffles, he's more of a brawling, hardy adventurer than he is an educated gentleman. His conflict with the various gangs of New York give him a certain amount of decency and impulsiveness. This combination of goodness and uncouth carelessness make for a likable character, and you can tell that Helprin cares about him even when he lightly makes fun of him -
pgs. 122-123 -
"Peter Lake looked at a book in one of the glass cases. A printed card next to it read 'Gutenberg Bible.' Worthless, thought Peter Lake, since it could not have been very old, having come from Gutenberg, a town in New Jersey just south of North Bergen and north of West New York. Someone there was printing up tremendous unreadable Bibles."
pg. 113 -
"... His lips moved, saying something other than what he thought. He had wanted to say that he had loved Mootfowl, but that had proved too difficult and inappropriate. So he backed out of the cathedral feeling as irresolute and frustrated as when he had entered. Who were those who found it so easy to pray? Did they really talk to God as if they were ordering in a restaurant? When he himself knelt down, he was tongue-tied."
In contrast, the gang lord, Pearly Soames, makes for a fantastic villain. It's amazing what a colorful and memorable bad guy can do for a story. Helprin can't help but mock some of the villainous cliches while creating sort of an American cross between Dickens's Bill Sikes and Barrie's Captain Hook, with a philosophical streak (and perhaps just a bit of Victor Hugo's Clopin Trouillefou thrown in for good measure) -
pg. 21 -
"Imagine the magic required to make a man cringe at the sight of a baby, and want to kill it. Pearly had that magic: he hated babies and wanted to kill them. They cried like cats on a fence, they had enormous round mouths, and they couldn't even hold up their own goddamned heads. They drove him crazy with their needs, their assumptions, and their innocence. He wanted to smash their assumptions and confound their innocence. He wanted to debate them despite the fact that they couldn't talk. He also hated small children too young to steal. What a tragic paradox. When they were small and could fit between bars, they didn't know what to do and couldn't carry anything. As soon as they got old enough to understand what they were supposed to bring back from the other side, they were unable to get through."
Bad guys should hate babies, but you probably never realized their logical reasons for doing so.
The gangs of New York in the time period in which Winter's Tale begins are enough for a whole set of stories of their own. When Pearly Soames marshals his troops among the criminal underworld, you can help but take pleasure in simply reading off their names -
" ... the Short Tails, the Dead Rabbits, the Plug Uglies, the Happy Jacks, the Rock Gang, the Rag Gang, the Stable Gang, the Wounded Ribs, the White Switch Gang, the Corlears Hook Rats, the Five Points Steel Bar Gang, the Alonzo Truffos, the Dog Harps, the Moon Bayers, the Snake Hoops, the Bowery Devils, and many others ..."
And every well-constructed villain has a fantastic and ever scheming imagination of his own -
pg. 35 -
"... Pearly's cheek was twitching, signifying one of the many species of his cool anger. 'Imagine, if you will,' he said, 'that we are not in a dank and mossy crypt, but in a room of gold; that upon each solid brick is stamped a fine and florid eagle, crown, or fleur-de-lys; that warm rays make the air softer and yellower than butter; that you breathe not this base, black, wet mist, but a sparkling bronze infusion that has been mellowed by its constant reverberation within falls of pure gold.'"
By these and other character portraits, Helprin's writing shows a love and a sympathy for the lower classes. The poor are always with us, and many of the greatest writers in literature have loved and focused upon the poor and common working-class people who make up such a large portion of our civilized society. The "City of the Poor" is one important location within Helprin's novel, and it's a place of great evil, suffering, love, goodness and heroism.
pg. 175 -
"The oddest thing about the elite - of which, I suppose, I am now one - is that they rule so ... daintily. The great mass of people, in which one finds brave soldiers, firebrands, geniuses, and inspired mechanics, is paralyzed in the face of these human delicacies with their garden parties, their unprotected estates, their inebriated stumbles, their pastel clothing, and their disempowering obsessions with disempowering things. When a workingman moves among them, he is most amazed: amazed at how small they make him feel, amazed at their frailty, amazed that they are yet invincible, amazed that he, a bull, is ruled by a butterfly."
Helprin does the same. You don't have to have a college degree to appreciate Winter's Tale. Its themes are more broad and universal than that. Any well-written epic tale of the fight between good and evil can be enjoyed by anyone, no matter how educated they may or may not be. And this is because we all live in the same universe - a moral universe where the conflict between good and evil is a conflict that we all experience as we live and die. What a writer of great imagination does is create a imaginative world in which we see and understand this conflict, and the choices that this conflict imposes upon us, in new ways that we otherwise would never have thought of them before. Thus, any of us should be able to appreciate the wisdom of Hardesty Marratta's father, when he explains to his son -
pg. 273 -
"'Little men,' he once said, 'spend their days in pursuit of such things. I know from experience that at the moment of their deaths they see their lives shattered before them like glass. I've seen them die. They fall away as if they have been pushed, and the expressions on their faces are those of the most unbelieving surprise. Not so, the man who knows the virtues and lives by them. The world goes this way and that. Ideas are in fashion or not, and those who should prevail are often defeated. But it doesn't matter. The virtues remain uncorrupted and uncorruptible. They are rewards in themselves, the bulwarks with which we can protect our vision of beauty, and the strengths by which we may stand, unperturbed, in the storm that comes when seeking God.'"
pg. 105 -
"At night as she lay on her bed in the open, or in the tent with some of the canvas rolled back so that she could see the sky, she watched the stars, not for ten minutes or a quarter-hour as most people did, but for hour after hour after hour. Even astronomers did not take the sky with such devotion, for they were constantly occupied with charting, measurements, the fallibilities of their earthbound instruments, and concentration upon one or another celestial problem. Beverly had the whole of it; she could see it all; and, unlike shepherds or drovers, and the rough and privileged woodsmen who work and sleep outdoors, she was not often tired ..."
pg. 108 -
"The astronomer's eyes were already wide, but she made his heart thud when she said, 'The light is silent, but then it clashes like cymbals, and arches out like a fountain, to travel and yet be still. It crosses space, without moving, on a fixed beam, as cleanly and silently as a pillar of ruby or diamond.' One the roof, she turned her eye again to Rigel, and then to Orion. The Pleiades were, as always, perfectly balanced in confounding asymmetry. Aldebaran winked. 'You're flashing tonight,' she said into the wind, and Aldebaran burst into a sparkling dance, deaf and dumb, but pleasing nonetheless to her heart."
pg. 238 -
"She was not quite as arresting in photographs as she was in the flesh, for her beauty was sprung directly from her soul, and proved that physical features count little unless they are illumined from within."
Or Christiana Friebourg -
pg. 372 -
"Christiana was a quick little girl, of deep imagination, and very pretty. But her strength was not derived from things that can be cataloged or reasonably discussed. She had an inexplicable lucidity, a power to see things for what they were. Somehow, she had come into possession of a pure standard."
Each of the main characters in Helprin's novel are original and unique. They each have particular virtues or vices of their own that give them value within the world the author so carefully sets them in. The newspaper that plays an important part of the story and run by the joyful Penn family is a collection of characters that draws like-minded people together in the midst of a changing culture that is rejecting old traditional values. It is no coincidence that the paper attracts many of the heroes of the story together, and it is a pleasure to read of their various and different individual adventures and romances. Hardesty Marrata is a philosophically minded war veteran, who owns practically nothing but books. Virginia Gamely is a passionate imaginative writer who seems like she was raised in an older time period. Praeger de Pinto is an intelligent, slightly mad, uncompromising idealist who possesses the ability charms and persuades the majority over to his counter-cultural opinions. Harry Penn is a solid, wordly-wise, rock in a storm who masterminds his own little movement for all that was good in older literary traditions.
pg. 357 -
"The Ghost has an architecture section: section thirty-nine, on Mondays and Fridays. But it's a personalities page. For example, they recently had a piece on a character - I think his name was Ambrosio D'Urbervilles - whose 'design statement' was to stuff an entire apartment from floor to ceiling with dark purple cottenballs. He called it 'Portrait of a Dead Camel Dancing on the Roof of a Steambath.'"
Thus, when it comes to moral conflicts that arise later in the story, the popular side is opposed only by the older, small literary paper than Penn has kept running. And his motivations for doing so are deeper than merely wanting to go against the majority -
"... Still, Harry Penn was not content to share The Sun with only its minority of careful and intelligent readers, for he wanted it not just to survive, but to triumph. This had little to do with The Ghost, though admittedly The Ghost was a dreadful irritant: it had to do with his sense of order and his vision of the world. Harry Penn wanted The Sun to fight The Ghost and all it stood for, if never on its own terms, then at least on its own ground. So he marshaled his troops and sent them to fight Craig Binky. Because they would not use Ghost methods or cater to broken tastes, they fought at a continual disadvantage. But the disparity fired their imaginations."
And it is this little band working for The Sun that the reader grows to love. They are not elitist. Indeed, their ranks are composed of a diverse cross-section from different parts of society (it was even founded by a whaleboat sailor after all). Neither is it a coincidence that Helprin shows his love for reading good literature in his book. The way he describes libraries and the books read and collected by his characters demonstrates an intense love for the written word. The fact that he even has a character (Virginia Gamely's mother) whose vocabulary tests the limits of any existing dictionary gives Helprin an excuse to play with different favorite words, just for the pure joy of writing them down.
"Mrs. Gamely ... used words every day that had been mainly dead or sleeping for hundreds of years ... She referred to diclesiums, liripoops, rapparees, dagswains, bronstrops, caroteels, opuntias, and soughs. She might describe something as patibulary, fremescent, pharisaic, Roxburghe, or glockamoid, and words like mormal, jeropigia, endosmic, mage, palmerin, thos, vituline, Turonian, galingale, comprodor, nox, gaskin, secotine, ogdoad, and pintulary fled from her lips in Pierian saltarellos. Their dictionary looked like a sow's ear, because Virginia spent inordinate proportions of her days racing through it, though when Mrs. Gamely was angry a staff of ten could not have kept pace with her, and half a dozen linguaphologists would have collapsed from hypercardia."
Virginia and her mother keep a well stocked pantry for winter, along with a little library of their own, which seems just as important a stock for the winter as the food. "The shelf was filled with books that were hard to read, that could devastate and remake one's soul, and that, when they were finished, had a kick like a mule." (pg. 227) Helprin, a prolific writer of scholarly columns of his own, has a few characters write columns encapsulating the joy anyone knows who learn to love masterly English prose.
pg. 261 -
"She returned in an hour with a perfect essay as fresh as an apple. He read it twice, and then again. It was as pleasurable for him as kissing a beautiful woman."

Are you ready to invest a good amount of money on skincare products that will keep you looking younger? Worried those lines on your face will become more and more prominent? Before you invest your money in skincare products, read on and find out what you need to be aware of so you don't get scammed.
Skincare companies don't just scam you by selling you shoddy products. They also get you through other marketing and advertising gimmicks. Do your homework on the company and make sure they are legitimate before handing over the cash.
Scams to Avoid
Free Trials
Some companies advertise that they provide free trials. They will send customers the products for just shipping and handling fees. After the predetermined number of days is over, however, the free trial is no longer free.
What these companies don't come out and tell you is that they will charge your credit card monthly after your free trial, and start sending you the product whether you want it or not. They start to make unapproved charges on your card.
The best thing to do is to avoid free trials altogether. If you want a certain product, it is best just to pay the full price and take the risk. Once a company has your credit card information, they can charge it and claim that the information was disclosed to you when you agreed to the terms of the free trial. Trying to get a refund of the unapproved charges is a major pain in the rear and can take months to resolve.
Companies and products to watch:
- Hydroxatone's AM/PM Anti-Wrinkle Complex
- ProDermagenix's Anti-Aging Serum
- Sheridan Labs' Equinox Serum and RVTL products
- Lumanelle
- LifeCell (reviewed here)
False Advertising – Data
Skincare companies will flat out just lie about their products or make up fake data and reviews from imaginary studies to promote their anti-aging creams and serums. In fact, actor Ray Liotta is suing Nerium International because the company claimed he endorsed their products. According to Liotta, he had never even heard of them before.
False Adveritising – Active Ingredients
When it comes to false advertising, some skincare companies are not afraid to make claims about containing ingredients that do wonders. When you truly look at the fine print, you'll find that the actual active ingredient is listed 28th or 29th. This indicates there is very little, even trace amounts, of the active ingredient in the product.
Same Product, Different Price
One thing consumers really need to be aware of is the list of ingredients found on the product containers. Fragrance aside, some products are exactly the same but sold at very different prices by varying companies. For example, Lancome's Absolue Ultimate BX Serum costs $130 for 1 ounce, and it contains the exact same active ingredients as Skin Genesis's Daily Treatment Skin Concentrate, which is sold for $18.74 for 1.7 ounces.
It is important for you to read the active ingredients closely so that you are not scammed into paying a higher price just because of the brand's name. Other product comparisons include:
- Estee Lauder's Crème de la Mer at $220 for 2 ounces is the same product as their own Re-Nutriv Ultimate Youth Crème, which they sell for $250.
- Estee Lauder's Idealist is $46.50 for 1 ounce and has the same ingredients as Clinique's Turnaround Concentrate Visible Skin Renewer, which sells for $36.50 an ounce.
Companies That Don't Deliver
There are companies in the skincare industry who seem to sell certain products, however, customers never receive them. These companies are the ultimate scammers, as they don't even bother to send out what they claim to be selling. They are also often the companies that are quick to take your money.
Companies and products to watch:
- SAM Cosmetics and Skin Care's Skinhale products
- Luminant Skin Care

Sheridan Labs, was offering a free trial offer for their product EQUINOX which is an anti-aging eye cream. The offer seemed quite attractive as I could actually try the cream first and then had to pay for it. I immediately provided my information and waited anxiously for my order. When I opened the bottle after it got delivered, I was vexed to find such a little quantity of the cream.

Spend money on trying different products that do not even prove to be effective?

I ordered a free trial of Procellis , by Flawless Effect.I ordered two products but only received one of them. I was relieved as by that time I realized they were not free at all. However I found to my dismay that they had taken payment for both products out of my credit card. I have been trying to contact them ever since but have had no luck. I have now cancelled my credit card, & the fraud department is looking into it for me.I don't know when this nightmare will be over, it was such a huge mistake on my part to allow myself to get scammed.

Did you read the terms and conditions of the website or offer before you clicked "submit"? Probably not. You're too silly to be cautious with your own money, but you want to sue. Can't be wrong and strong Cheryl. Next time, use your brain and read carefully before you throw your money somewhere.
- September 2, 2016 at 5:11 pm
That's right Cheryl, look at the scam it's about your freakn product I'm charged every month after I cancelled n got another Cream product only pay shipping for 95 that was another stupid scam they charge me $92 say all I wanted your credit card number then make us look like the fool they don't charge us five dollars they charge us whatever they want and then they charge us $92 whatever every month every month then we have to change our card I would Love to sue their you know what !! WSOC needs to know about this whistleblower it's just plain fraud

DO NOT BUY THESE PRODUCTS OR DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY! I tried the free samples and they were okay but no better than the products that I was using before. I then received a new shipment and was charged $200!!!!! That is crazy! Not worth it at all. When I called and spoke with "Tabitha", she said the products did not have a "money back guarantee" and said that I could not return the unopened products that I received in today's mail. What a scam!!! Is there anything on the offer that says that these are final purchases and they do not allow returns. She then told me that the best she could do is offer me a 50% refund. I have never had a company refuse to accept the return of a product within 30 days, let alone 1 day. Do not spend your money with this company. I believe their sales methods are unscrupulous to say the very least. Spend your money on products that are a fraction of the cost and show results.

There were no conditions and terms. And that part about using your brain? Well, 37,000 women in the UK fell for it plus thousands more in the USA. Glad though that you are so savvy. Duh.
- March 31, 2015 at 12:24 am
I ordered Jivam, and was told they had the Terms and Conditions on the website and that I had no gripe coming. I paid 3.95 then they charged my credit card 89.95 Twice : once for the eye stuff , and skin stuff. Bank of America says I have no dispute rights. I have been robbed of 25% of my social security check. Yes it was a mistake on my part to have ordered, and especially to not read the fine print. Although I did revisit their site , and it is NOT true you have to read it before ordering.
Then when it didn't come soon I called what turned out to be another company (so they say) and have 2 more bottles of Biolift, 89.99 and 99.99 Another 25% of my check. These are unopened and if I could reach them I would ask for a refund.
Can we not get a class action suit going and get results against these frauds?

I noticed on the bank transaction there was an 1 888# (1 888 456 7454 ) so I called it, they at first gave me the run around as if they were right for charging outrageous amounts after I returned the product. Then they offered me a 50% refund I said "no, free trial means free trial, and it is a 100% contradiction to charge for a free trial, so I want a 100% refuen or I will have my lawyer file a class action suite with all of the people online posting complaints") Oh by the way you know how they have a recording that says the calls are recorded for customer assurance, when I called them the FIRST thing I said was "just to let you know my lawyer asked me to record this conversation for his records".

- September 3, 2015 at 1:05 pm
Unfortunately I fell for one of the free trial samples. Younger Days (face) and Stunning Skin Care (eye) creams. I was charged only shipping for the free samples on 8/3/15. But then two weeks later $89.95 and $89.10 on 8/17/15 which I have now been told was for the free samples. I cancelled both on 8/19/15. The phone # for Stunning Skin Care is not in service now. I spoke with someone at Young Days who said I was responsible for reading the terms and agreement and refused to give me a credit. I understand what he is saying but that information must have been hidden on the website as there was nothing to print our about their terms and agreements. There was no paperwork in with my shipment either. My credit card company said they cannot do anything about the charges. Everyone, DO NOT order any skin care free samples. There are so many scams out there.

This is the exact product names and specific charges that showed up on my credit card when falling for Eunisse product.
Add Eunisse to this list of scams. Unfortunately, I was suckered into a Vitamin C serum, which technically Eunisse denies as part of their line. I received emails from three different entities, including Deluxe Eye Therapy, Stunning Skin Care and Eunisse, all with different phone numbers. Credit card charges were coming from different merchants for products never even received. I had to fight to be removed from all databases, (three of which I know of) cancel my credit card, and hope that there are no other hacks unseen as this point. DO NOT FALL FOR A MIRACLE CREAM, YOU WILL ONLY DISCOVER YOUVE BEEN SCAMMED. HERE IS THE LINK TO EUNISSE TO AVOID:

Same exact thing happened to me as Marsha stated above!

I ordered a free trial size (according to the ad on Facebook) of Juvacell. I was charged almost 200.00 to my bank account. I'm hoping to get my money back after giving me a hard time and a threat to the attorney general. I may do it anyway as it gave me bad chemical burns to my eyes and face. DO NOT PURCHASE from JUVACELL!!
- April 5, 2016 at 3:52 pm
Same thing happened to me.
- November 1, 2015 at 7:54 am
I tried a trial size of Juvacell eye and skin therapies which was supposed to cost only $8.50 for postage. Two weeks later they charged me $188 for this Sample. I called them and they said I approved this which I did not. THEY REFUSED TO REFUND MY MONEY OR TO TAKE THE PRODUCT BACK. WHAT can be done about this. IT IS DEFINITELY A SCAM? My husband is a lawyer and he thinks he can get the money refunded and put the company out of business. He said Juvacell has broken a few laws.

JUVACELL had an ad on facebook to get free samples and pay the shipping of $4.95. I ordered a sample , received it in the mail but NEVER did i see anywhere where i agreed to a 2 week trial nor for them to charge me over $750.00. I called "customer service" and they all read from the same script. I asked for a supervisor and finally got Lisa who was cold as ice, read from the same script, and was no help. I asked for the president of the company and she would not give me that, I asked for an address and she would not give me that. The only thing she gave me was a email@example.com e-mail address, which got me no where. So here i sit at Christmas time with a screwed up checking account, $750.00 short, with sample products that cost me $750.00. I want a full refund because i feel this is misleading. I need someone to contact me asap.
- January 17, 2016 at 11:25 pm

I too ordered this product which arrived in just a couple of days but had absollutely no info on the product so I went on line to check it out and the first thing I read was "don't buy this product, it's a scam". I then called the company and told them not to send any more product and to cancel any future orders. She gave me a cancellation number so I hope it's over. This all happened in less than a week from the time I ordered. Now if my credit card gets charged it will be fraud. Good luck in getting your issues settled.
- January 18, 2016 at 6:13 pm
JUVACELL ordered and attempted cancel within 5 minutes. Wanted 1 product, clicked on other and it automatically added it, thanking me for my order! Got No email receipt. Told Could Not Cancel until order sent and rec'd-regardless shipping charges would still be charged and could not be refunded. Got online, found this, other reviews and found 3 different informational pages with different addresses and phone numbers. Fought for refund- No Rec't, Did Not Order 2nd Item… Supposedly refunding but have to return to sender when received. We'll see! My face is fine with-out it!!!
- January 27, 2016 at 7:35 pm
My advice to you is… if they debited your credit card, call the Credit Card company and let them know the charge was not authorized. They can remove the charge, and then it is up to JuvaCell to protest (which they won't). If they debited your checking account, visit your bank and tell them the charge was not authorized. They will ask you to fill out a form "under penalty of purjery" stating that you did not authorize the charge. The bank can refund your account, and, again, it would be up to JuvaCell to protest (which they won't).
Scammers rely on people just eating the fraudulent charges. Laws exist to protect consumers from unauthorized debits to your account.
- May 9, 2016 at 11:02 pm
They did responde to my credit card company after they charged me for $300.00. They kept sending the little pots after I called and told them I didn't order them. Called credit card company. They reversed charges but Juvacell sent the card company copies of a order form that they say I filled out. It is not even for the product I ordered so now I go back to the credit card company to see what can be done. Very bad lesson for me as I have never tried any free samples before. Beware. These people are a scam. And the product doesn't do a thing for my skin.
- February 1, 2016 at 12:06 pm
Had the same. £3.50 for delivery, then 2 lots of £60 taken on CC. Went back to website and it is there in very small text that merges in to background.Scammers.

Me too same ad but when bank blocked them they started taking more from my bank card using name Newbody customer! Still having trouble and now they are disputing I made order which never happened! Will keep all my wrinkles from now on!!
- February 10, 2016 at 10:36 pm
To the people complaining about Juvacell and saying you never agreed to have your account/card further charged, you must be the typical fools who NEVER read the fine print or the terms and conditions that any website with any purchase processing has. It's right there on the page for you to see if you're smart enough to look before you leap and read before you click:
"By submitting, you consent to having read and agreed to our Terms and Conditions and after your 14 day trial period has expired, being enrolled in our membership program for $98.71 plus shipping per month. You can cancel anytime by calling 877-238-1130." I've worked for Customer Service for years in various large companies and it disgusts me that people NEVER read anything, much less fully, when the information is available on the web page – and then want to SUE the company because they were too stupid to read! ALWAYS READ THE FINE PRINT! ALWAYS READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS! You can't call a company a scam because you're too dumb to do your due diligence. And by the way, no I don't work for Juvacell, I was interested in purchasing and wanted to do research before trying it and came across this page.
- May 9, 2016 at 11:08 pm
Sonia I didn't get any tiny print stuff either for the Juvacell. I can tell you are very smart but you may notice they have no free offers for this product anymore. I would love a copy so I can just see how being a typical fooll, can see where the small print was and what the language was. Judge not til you see it yourself. They are pretty tricky.
- March 5, 2016 at 12:20 am
Excuse me Sonja. What about this scenario? I'm about to purchase online. I get to the final page where I finalize my purchase. It is only at this point that I could even access the terms and conditions which I then read. And low and behold, yessiree, it's a 14 day trial after which I will be considered "enrolled" and at that point, unless I've canceled within those 14 days my $4.95 shipping and handling cost only FREE trial costs me $89.95!! So, like a sane person I do NOT submit the order. I do NOT click the submit button. I even page back and delete my personal data on the previous pages including deleting my CC data. Have I made a purchase? NO! NIET! NIENTE!! NADA!!!! Does my CC get dinged? YES!!!!! So, how do they "LIFT" your data off their site whether you purchase or not??
- March 21, 2016 at 6:03 pm
Do not order anything rom Miravie. It is a scam
- August 20, 2016 at 12:32 am
This is the first time I fell for a scam ever. I ordered the trial product, which they make you believe you pay 6,95 for an actual trial product in the hope you like it and will buy it again. I didn't see anywhere on the website that you needed to cancel or do anything after and I read all pages twice very careful.
From the day you order, they apprently count 14 days in which you need to cancel, even if you receive it a week later. If you don't, they charge you 89,95 (no there's no gold inside). These terms suppose to be hidden somewhere in the policy terms which I never saw while ordering and people never read.
I understand marketing, but this is false advertising and they can be sued for it. You're actually not buying a trial product at all, you're buying the actual product and just pay the delivery fees up front, they just charge you the actual amount within 14 days.
And besides that the cream isn't even good. Using it since 4/5 days now and it makes my skin very dry.
I called them with my bank, but they were very unfriendly and unhelpful. They know what they're doing is really bad, but they were keep on mentioning that this it written in the policy terms which I should have read, (because when you buy a product you usually read the 10 pages policy terms?!?!).
Have to admit, smart system, the owner is probably laughing her ass off, never thought I would fell for something like this.
Learn from my lesson, DON'T BUY THIS!!!!!
- September 1, 2016 at 8:18 pm
What about BelleVei? Anyone knows if this is a reputable site and product?
- October 19, 2016 at 4:13 pm
Just got scammed by flawlessskin and eqinox,I was stupid enough to fall for the £4.95 each making a total of £9.90 and they took that on the 3rd Oct and two days ago took £192. out of my bank,which I have contacted and I have to write an email explaining why I should get my money back,PLEASE anyone do not go for anything that looks to good to be true,do not go for free trials or special offer they had set up a monthly payment of £192.
- October 20, 2016 at 9:32 pm
Another one to add is aqua refine skin care. I ordered their free trial, was charged for shipping. Then, less than 14 days after I received the product I was charged for full product. It was 14 days after order but less than 10 from receiving it. It's not a full 14 day trial because it doesn't start upon receipt but on order. No email with terms of order either, just receipt of order. They did cancel and send receipt of cancellation.
- November 8, 2016 at 11:04 pm
Where do you find the contact info in order to cancel the order? I can't find it anywhere. Thanks.

Regarding a product called RevyveSkin, Warning to all: I have managed to avoid getting scammed by skin care companies for years. Then I broke down one night when on my PC I saw a woman who looked middle aged in a film she claimed she made at home. It looked real. I watched her put product on the bags under her eyes, and watched as they tightened and smoothed the skin to at least a 75% improvement. I fell for it, and I ordered a trial package. Not only did they send me the eye cream, but included skin cream. First day their was no change in the bags under my eyes, and the same for the next two weeks. I kept trying because I felt like an idiot to have fallen for a scam because of my vanity. i didn't realize that they had also put me on a list for repeat orders, since it hadn't been specified that you had to call and cancel. I just got my second order including both products again. During my call I found out that they bill shipping for each item separately even though they are sent in one box together. The price of the small containers is exorbitant enough, but to add two shipping charges for one package is infuriating. Now I have to pay to return the items, send it to a P.O. box that is different from the one on the package I received, and, she said, will only get reimbursed when they have proof from their warehouse that my item was returned, and I have to call them and give them the tracking numbers. The return authorization number was gotten by me after numerous tries dealing with their snippy representative on the phone who tried to discourage me from returning the items, by asking patronizing questions to make me feel I had not used the product correctly. Once I am through with this return and calling them again, if they don't reimburse me for this new shipment, I will be reporting them to my credit card company and may have to have a new card sent so they can't bill me for future orders–that's how suspicious I am after dealing with their so called customer service. Avoid this company at all costs, and by the way, they appear to use another similar name with the same woman in the same film. So if you see a middle aged matronly woman demonstrating a product for your eyes, don't watch, turn off you PC and run away!!!

Add NEUPHORIC Skin Care to the scam list in colusion with Amazon. Came across as a free gift so I accepted. Can't get ahold of them to cancel either. Going to the bank in the A.M. to report as a fraud deduction and let them deal with them.

This is worse than Nigerian scams. The worst part is non of the credit card companies want to start the a Chargeback process. I wonder if they on this scam too.

New Delhi, Oct 30: It's official now. Pakistan cricket team will tour India for three One Day Internationals and two Twenty20 Internationals in the months of December and January.
The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on Tuesday approved Pakistan's visit to the country to clear the way for the neighbours to arrive for a bilateral series for the first time since 2007.
Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Vice-President Rajiv Shukla and other members of the Indian cricket board, on Tuesday, met MHA officials.
Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore and Ahmedabad are the venues for this short tour. According to the itinerary, Pakistan are set to land in India on December 22. The first match of the tour is set for December 25. However, the final fixtures list is yet to be made by both boards.
England, who are currently in India, will return home for Christmas and arrive back for the rest of the tour. During that two-week break, India will face Pakistan.
Pakistan's last visit to India for a bilateral series was in 2007.

One is a millionaire model. The other the daughter of rock royalty.
But last night, Kate Moss and Kelly Osbourne turned 3am party girls to pair up for a wild night out in London, leaving both clearly the worse for wear as they partied until the early hours of this morning.
Kate leant heavily on boyfriend Jamie Hince, as she and Kelly left club Punk in Soho last night.
The 34-year-old model, and mother of daughter Lila Grace, 5, exited the club unsteadily with her head hanging down, wearing black shorts and a leather jacket, and opaque tights which appeared to have stains on them.
Scroll down for more...
While a dramatically pale Kelly, the daughter of rocker Ozzy Osbourne and X Factor judge Sharon, clearly needed the support of two pals as she made her way out to the waiting car.
Clearly Kate's rumoured new healthy lifestyle has hit a snag.
A recent report said the model was embarking on a healthy-eating regime in the hope that it would boost her fertility.
But it appears that she may need some more time to make the adjustment.
Scroll down for more...
Despite both of them looking in desperate need of an early night, Kate and Jamie, of band The Kills, then moved on to Kelly's North London flat, where they continued the party until 4am.
Quite what they were celebrating was a mystery, but it had been a long night out for Kelly, who had earlier attended the NME awards.
And like her mother Sharon at the Brit Awards last week, she too was at the centre of controversy after she unleashed a torrent of foul-mouthed abuse, directed at awards presenter James Corden.
Scroll down for more...
The 23-year-old was reportedly drinking throughout the show as she shared a table with pal Kimberley Stewart.
And when Corden introduced her to the stage, describing her as "the queen of hanging with the bands", Kelly stunned the crowd by replying: "Go f*** your mother, Mr queen of hanging with the bands".
She also snapped at the press, becoming annoyed with their questions about her pal Amy Winehouse.
Kelly was also furious at Amy's nomination at the NME awards for Villain of the Year.
She said: "I think it's unfair to knock someone when they're down."
Scroll down for more...
At last night's awards, the Arctic Monkeys scooped three gongs and joined a host of other British acts who triumphed at the awards held at London's O2 Arena.
The Sheffield group, who were nominated for seven prizes, picked up Best British Band, Best Track and Best Video, in a successful night for British acts.
Twenty-year-old singer songwriter Kate Nash won Best Solo Artist while the Klaxons put their Brits disappointment behind them to scoop Best Album.
Scroll down for more...
To complete a triumphant night for British acts, the Enemy won Best New Band and Muse won Best Live Band.
However, it was not such a good night for troubled singer Amy.
Despite delighting the crowd at last week's Brits following a spell in rehab earlier this month, the singer received the award for Worst Dressed Female.
Meanwhile, Pete Doherty, who was forced to miss the ceremony after pulling out at the last minute because of illness, won Hero Of The Year.Reuse content
