By Dr. Mercola
Dr. Andrew Saul has over 35 years of experience in natural health education, and holds a number of certificates for teaching clinical nutrition.
He's a recipient of the Citizens for Health Outstanding Health Freedom Activist Award, and was named as one of the seven natural health pioneers by Psychology Today.
Dr. Saul is currently editor-in-chief of The Orthomolecular Medicine News Service, and has authored over 100 publications and seven books, including Hospitals and Health: Your Orthomolecular Guide to a Shorter Hospital Stay1, which is the topic of this interview.
He is perhaps most prominently known for his appearance in the film Food Matters.
Hospitals and Health
Dr. Saul co-authored Hospitals and Health with Dr. Steve Hickey, and Dr. Abram Hoffer, the famous Canadian psychiatrist who, in 1953, demonstrated that high doses of niacin could cure schizophrenia and other similar mental disorders.
"Dr. Hoffer, in his study of biochemistry... noted that over the years there had been attempts to treat psychiatric illnesses by communities that didn't have hospitals. One was the Quaker community. And the Quakers, Dr. Hoffer said, found that if they took the mentally ill; put them in a nice house, gave them good food, and gave them compassionate care, they had a 50 percent cure rate," Dr. Saul says.
"Dr. Hoffer commented that drugs have about 10 percent cure rate. He was thinking that drugs might actually be going in the wrong direction, and hospitals give a lot of drugs... When people go into the hospital, they're going to have problems... Statistically, there are so many errors in hospitals that the average works out to one error per patient per day at the minimum. If you're in a hospital for four days, you can expect four medical errors in that time."
According to the 2011 Health Grades Hospital Quality in America noticed doctors or hospitalStudy2, the incidence rate of medical harm occurring in the United States is estimated to be over 40,000 harmful and/or lethal errors each and EVERY day.
Hospitals have become particularly notorious for spreading lethal infections. In the United States, more than 2 million people are affected by hospital-acquired infections each year, and a whopping 100,000 people die as a result. According to the Health Grades report, analysis of approximately 40 million Medicare patients' records from 2007 through 2009 showed that 1 in 9 patients developed such hospital-acquired infections! The saddest part is, most of these cases could likely have been easily prevented with better infection control in hospitals—simple things such as doctors and nurses washing their hands between each patient, for example.
Hospitals, home and nursing home care account for over one-third of the $2.6 trillion the United States spends for health care.3 This is TRIPLE what we surrender to drug companies. It wouldn't be so bad if we actually received major benefits for this investment, but, as Dr. Saul's book reveals, this oftentimes is not the case...
Hospital Nutrition and Supplements
However, there are solutions; it is possible to make hospitals better, and the book addresses this in depth. Nutrition is a key element. As Dr. Saul points out, hospital food is almost universally associated with bad food. Most of it is highly processed, but you can sometimes get better fare simply by asking for a vegetarian meal. He also explains why it can be helpful to get a simple note from your primary care physician if you take vitamins and want to continue taking them while in the hospital. And, your rights, should the staff insist you can't take them while staying there.
"If you want to take vitamins in the hospital, go ahead and do it," Dr. Saul says. "On the other hand, if the hospital, your physician, or surgeon, can explain to you why, for a particular procedure or a particular medication, you cannot take the vitamin, then you can accommodate that request if they are highly specific. Usually what happens is they'll say,
"You can't take any vitamins." But that's just not true. Everyone should take vitamin C before they go to the hospital. They should take vitamin C before they go to the dentist for less infection, less pain, quicker healing time, and less bleeding. The same is true with surgery. People who take high doses of vitamin C are much less likely to have blood clotting in healing, inflammation, and other complications that, unfortunately, are fairly familiar among surgical staff.
If someone says, "You can't take vitamin E because we're going to give you Warfarin (Coumadin)," that's a reasonable point. But then... there is evidence that if you take the vitamin E, you don't need Warfarin.
I had a client once who had this exact dilemma. He had thrombophlebitis, and he was on Warfarin. He wanted to take vitamin E instead... He said, "Well, what should I do?" I said, "The best thing to do is to gradually decrease the drug with your doctor's cooperation while increasing the vitamin – again, with your doctor's cooperation. Talk to your doctor. The doctor that put you on the drugs should be the one that you'll talk to about the drugs."... He said, "I don't want to talk to the doctor about this." He actually was afraid to talk to his doctor. He did not want the confrontation. What he did instead was he just started taking the vitamin E. Eventually, his clotting time was extended to the point where the doctor said,
"What's going on?"
... Too much Warfarin causes extended bleeding. Too much vitamin E can also cause slightly extended bleeding, but not out of the normal range. I said to him... "You got to talk to your doctor. If your doctor's asking what's going on, [then] tell him. He'll take you off the Coumadin." The fellow talked to the doctor, and the doctor took him off the vitamin E..."
Unfortunately, that's a typical example of "standard care." Dr. Saul, on the other hand, believes one of the first things doctors need to do is to make sure each patient has a multivitamin with each meal. The same goes for inmates in prisons, and senior citizens in nursing homes.
"Diets in institutions are terrible," Dr. Saul says. "We can change that right away. People have to refuse the crap that they put on the plate and demand fresh, whole, unprocessed food. If enough people do that, the hospitals will do it. This is something that we can do. Vitamins, multivitamin supplements we can do...
The next thing that you can do is demand to be addressed by your title. Do not let them call you by your first name. You are a Mr., Ms., Mrs., or a Dr. This is a small point seemingly, but it can actually change your care.
Another thing that people need to do when they go into the hospital, and I got this from a nurse herself, she said, "Bring a guard.
I would never let a family member go into the hospital alone. Make absolutely sure that a friend or family member is with them 24 hours a day." What does this do? It makes sure that mistakes aren't made, or if mistakes are made, you've got a witness. At the very least, the person is going to have some company. That's something we can do. Not everybody has an advocate. Not everybody has family members available, but this is still a doable situation. What else can we do about hospitals? We can avoid them..."
Knowing How to Play "the Hospital Game" Can Help Keep You Alive
One of the reasons I am so passionate about sharing the information on this site about healthy eating, exercise, and stress management with you is because it can help keep you OUT of the hospital. But if you do have to go there, you need to know how to play the game.
"Dr. Steve Hickey is an authority on game theory, cybernetics, and all kinds of mathematical stuff..." Dr. Saul says. "Dr. Hickey wrote a chapter in Hospitals and Health specifically on the "hospital game" and how to play it. He... demonstrates that the outcome depends on you... If you just go in... [they] take you to bed and you keep quiet, you're what Dr. Hoffer calls a "pious patient."
Pious patients tend to get killed.
... The lowest estimate makes hospitals one of the top 10 causes of deaths in the United States... The highest estimate makes hospital and drugs the number one cause of death in the United States...
We can fix this problem. We can make a change. But the only way it's going to happen is if you know how to play the game. That's why Hospitals and Health – I think – will really come in handy. Abraham Hoffer practiced for 55 years. He ran hospitals. He had so much experience, and what does it still boil down to? Common sense – good food, good care, as few drugs as possible, and taking charge of your own health."
Why Avoiding Elective Procedures During July May Be a Lifesaving Choice
What's my personal recommendation when it comes to hospital stays? Naturally, my number one suggestion is to avoid hospitals unless it's an absolute emergency and you need life-saving medical attention. In such cases, it's worth taking Dr. Saul's recommendation to bring a personal advocate; a relative or friend who can speak up for you and ensure you're given proper care if you can't do so yourself.
If you're having an elective medical procedure done, remember that this gives you greater leeway and personal choice—use it!
Many believe training hospitals will provide them with the latest and greatest care, but they can actually be more dangerous. As a general rule, avoid elective surgeries and procedures during the month of July because this is when brand new residents begin their training. According to a 2010 report in the Journal of General Internal Medicine, lethal medication errors consistently spike by about 10 percent each July, particularly in teaching hospitals, due to the inexperience of new residents.4 Also be cautious of weekends.
"Sometimes, your best bet for a hospital is a relatively small local one," Dr. Saul advises.
Who has the MOST Power During Your Hospital Stay?
"The most important thing to remember is this: the hospital power structure," Dr. Saul says. "No matter what hospital you go in… Maybe you've got to be in a teaching hospital. Maybe you don't have a lot of choices. Maybe you are there because of financial issues. Maybe it's because of geographical issues. Maybe it's because it was an emergency, and you woke up in the hospital. Maybe you have to be there on a weekend...
The question is, "Are you going to walk out the front door, or be wheeled out the back?"
Now, here's what people need to do. They need to understand that when they are faced with hospitalization, the most powerful person in the most entire hospital system is the patient.
The system works on the assumption that the patient will not claim that power... You might have set that up with a document. If you have a power of attorney, a living will, or other types of paperwork or someone is responsible, then we know who's responsible. But let's say that it's just an ordinary situation—the patient has the most power.
A patient can say, "No. Do not touch me." And they can't. If they do, it's assault, and you can call the police. Now, they might say, "Well, on your way in, you signed this form."
You can unsign it. You can revoke your permission. Just because somebody has permission to do one thing, it doesn't mean that they have the permission to do everything. There's no such thing as a situation that you cannot reverse. If you can make amendments to the U.S. Constitution, you can change your mind about your own personal healthcare. It concerns your very life. You don't want to cry wolf for no reason, but the patient has the potential to put a stop to anything; absolutely anything.
If the patient doesn't know that, if they're not conscious, or if they just don't have the moxie to do it, the next most powerful person is the spouse. The spouse has enormous influence and can do almost as much as the patient. If the patient is incapacitated, the spouse can probably do much more than the patient.
If there is no spouse present, the next most powerful people in the system are the children of the patient... You'll notice that I haven't mentioned doctors or hospital administrators once. That's because they don't have the power. They really don't. They just want you to think that you do. It is an illusion that they run the place. The answer is – you do. They're offering you products and services, and they're trying to get you to accept them without question.
... [W]hen you go to the hospital, bring along a black Sharpie pen, and cross out anything that you don't like in the contract. Put big giant X's through entire clauses and pages, and do not sign it. And when they say, "We're not going to admit you," you say, "Please put it in writing that you refuse to admit me." What do you think your lawyers are going to do with that? They have to [admit you]. They absolutely have to...
It's a game, and you can win it. But you can't win it if you don't know the rules. And basically, they don't tell you the rules. In Hospitals and Health, we do."
The book, Hospitals and Health is available through any online bookseller, including Amazon, or you can order an autographed copy at www.DoctorYourself.com. Knowing how to prevent disease so you can avoid hospitals in the first place is clearly your best bet. But knowing what to do to make your hospital stay as safe and healing as possible is equally important. For the inside scoop, I highly recommend reading the book.

I'm going on a trip sponsored by my dorm; the trip involves a long ride on a bus, and so I'm bringing bentos for the trip out. However, the last time I know I'll have access to a kitchen is on Thursday morning, and we return on an equally long bus ride literally all day Sunday. I'd like to pack at least some snacks in a bento box to avoid spending a lot buying food for the return trip - any ideas for recipes that can keep without refrigeration that long? >.> I'm thinking nuts are good, fruits with a thick rind if I don't cut them up...
Alternately, I can buy things in Amsterdam - anyone know what kinds of things I can find there for no-prep bentoing? (If only I were going to Japan!)
Do you have to pack food for the entire trip...? I mean, Amsterdam has tons of food shops ^_^ I guess for your trip out I would stick to things like crackers, maybe wrapped cheese, fruit, nuts, and that kind of thing, though for your earlier meals you could pack things that don't keep that long. Maybe think ahead as to how many meals/snacks you will need, how long they have to keep, and plan accordingly?

No, but it's bookended by two long bus ridesh
"Stop having the boring tuna; stop having the boring life" - Vince Offer
What you in England call flapjack (and we call muesli bars). Put lots of nuts and seeds and dried fruit in it to make it vaguely healthy, then wrap the bars individually and chuck them in your bag for munching as hunger strikes. There's a commercial brand here that's called "A Square Meal" because it contains all the calories and vitamins etc you'd expect from one. And it's square.
My blog is Food and Shoes
ooh, good idea! My friend introduced me to those a week or two ago.
"Stop having the boring tuna; stop having the boring life" - Vince Offer
You can add quite a lot of non-absorbent stuff to it without adjusting the amount of butter and sugar etc, but to be on the safe side, add your healthy nuts, seeds, and fruit before you add the rolled oats, then add the oats a bit at a time and stop when it's starting to look as though it's getting a bit dry. There shouldn't be any of the melted sugar/butter mix dripping through to the bottom though, it all wants to be sticking to the dry stuff.
I live in Amsterdam so about the 2nd part of your question;
I don't know what kind of you want in your bento. You can buy japanese food in Amsterdam, but not everywhere or a lot. You could try the area around Nieuwmarkt (also known as chinatown, near the Waag).
For 'dutch food' you should visit Albert Heijn. Albert Heijn is a brand of supermarket (with blue and white logo). They have shops all over the city and sells lots of items that are easy on the go, like salads and sandwiches. At Amsterdam Centraal (railway station, and metro station) there are 3 'AH to go'-shops, they sell more 'on the go'-items then a regular 'AH'. Prices are a little bit higher, but you can buy ricewiches there (http://www.ricewich.com/en/). Most supermarkets in Amsterdam are open everyday from 8h-22h, so you could pick up something on saterday evening, or early sunday.
I like lots of fruit on long bus-rides, because it stays fresh unlike a bottle of could water.
Have fun in Amsterdam!
you should also consider temperature. like this year the summer got up to a 110 or higher where i live so a lot of stuff ended up spoiling in that time even peanut butter didn't last more than 2 hours at most.
I suspect the coach to Amsterdam departed long ago.
The Albert Heijn (ah) food departments Veertje mentioned aren't a million miles away in quality and 'feel' to an equivalent retail outlet in Japan. You can get decent pre-sliced bread, a good range of pre-sliced/pre-prepared meats, cheeses and fish and the range of fruit juices on offer would make many Japanese people envious. If you avoid the usual tourist traps and the greasy fried snack temptations Amsterdam has a lot of wonderful food on offer for families and groups of friends on a budget.
I'd personally recommend trying a speciality which is almost impossible to find in the Northern Hemisphere outside of the Netherlands and that's the food of Suriname. One of the best bento boxes I ever had was a takeaway from a Surinamese restaurant in Amsterdam. The box came with compartments and included rice and some heavenly pickles. It was absolutely delicious. Unfortunately, as it had been bought for me and the group I was travelling with I never found out which restaurant it came from. I still yearn for it.
Anyway, we have run a topic on spoilage in very hot temperatures with ideas and tips to keep your tummy safe:
This would add to the point raised by anon

Yes I do trust you did meant it as friendly encouragement and if we are unlucky my clumsy comment could have triggered a counterreaction you did not intend on.
So it is more like a random game. Catch 22 is the name of the game.
Ubuntu being a subset of Debian??? could explain why they are faster at it compared to Puppy.
Debian have had knowledge on how to deal with ARM a long time now?
So that makes some of their devs more familiar with it.
And one requirement is that one own such a computer so one can test on it or one need a very good "simulator" of how an ARM processor is dealing with code?
If you and I and a few more would be enough motivated we would do a pot luck and send money to all the devs and hope for the best that they buy such under 100 USD ARM and get motivated to try out Puppy versions of Debian code on it?
This reminds me a bit about the current race to do Root in Android Mobile phones. These have often an ARM processor if I get it.
But I guess they do it in Windows programming instead of Linux.
They have a dev program for Android in Windows and using that do the coding to do patches on the Android code? Am I right?
Would be kind of embarrassing to use Windows program to make a Puppy Linux for an ARM tablet
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

Post subject: Couple of questions
Has anyone used the little CE 6.0 based system? And if so.. it has a LAN connection... have you been able to hook it up to your exiting switch? If so, please help.
. Further to a Puppy or ? I attempted to hook USB to USB on a Puppy box...it did not see the Sylvania. My understanding it is supposed to be seen as drive, same as a camera or adapter. Any suggestions?
This heading is Arm in general.. but I think there might be specifics associated with Via 8505, reading in the past few days there is a difference with some software and Via 8500.
So... As mentioned.... there is hopefully a budding demand and need to get Puppy up and running... My understanding is the Debian runs as command, might be a x desktop, but I am not sure. Unfortunately I am not well versed enough to be of much help, other than a tester.
That said... since we are using Ubuntu depository for other versions of Puppy, is it possible to obtain the correct kernel.. and what else is needed to get a bear bones Puppy running? Again he speaks with little real knowledge and a lot of HOPE
Kind of a side wish..... Puppy is known all over the world. These new boxes are built overseas... ie.. China... anyone there who can shed some light or help?

Interfaces/Ports: Standard SD card slot (up to 32 Gb), 3 x USB 2.0, RJ-45, DC-in
Wireless Network: WLAN 802.11 b/g
Battery: 2100 mAH
Dimensions (WxDxH): 182.5 x 270 x 31 mm
Weight: 1.1 Kg
Review in Amazon:
This review is from: Archos 501540 Arnova 10.2 inch Samsung 533MHz 2GB Web Device - Black (Electronics)
This product is the epitome of why notebooks are on their way out. In just 24 hours usage it has already crashed twice, runs slowly and of course has no actual internal memory space meaning that it blanks itself every time it crashes. This is a lot of work for little gain.

I am amazed that Samsung wants anything to do with 'doze-anything. Avoid CE x.x like the plague. This one looks like the OneT+ with a slightly upgraded cpu - possibly a clocked cpu?!
10" screens are a waste of time - get a real laptop. The original netbook Asus and clones have a 7" screen - ideal for myopes without. 9" might just be acceptable in that format, although, apart from the weight & size penalty, they enter the power:weight spiral defeating the original objective. A 7" screen just about fits in an anorak pocket. Note: anyone calling me an
will attract a visit with my violin case.
Having said all that, there's a Debian release for ARM devices and the 3MX .img might work?

Dr. Becky Anderson and I invite you to consider contributing your expertise by submitting a chapter in a soon-to-be-published edited book. Digital Tools for Writing Instruction in K-12 Settings: Student Perception and Experience is timely because students are currently using technology to write both in and out of the classroom. In particular, students are writing outside of the classroom in ways that are not well documented or understood. Research is needed to report what students are doing both in and out of school and the implications this has on their learning. As a result, there exists a need for an edited collection of chapters in this area to 1) keep educators abreast of how to use the growing number of technology tools, 2) address the growing emphasis on writing instruction in both K-12 settings and in teacher education programs, 3) meet national standards and current initiatives that expect teachers to integrate writing across the curriculum, and 4) inform practice for the growing number of educators involved in K-12 online teaching and learning.
Working Title
Digital Tools for Writing Instruction in K-12 Settings: Student Perception and Experience
Rebecca S. Anderson (The University of Memphis, USA)
Clif Mims (The University of Memphis, USA)
Call for Chapters
Proposal Submission Deadline: March 15, 2013
Full Chapters Due: July 20, 2013
Currently, more emphasis is placed on writing instruction in K-12 schools than ever before. Unfortunately, however, students continue to perform poorly on national writing assessments. One possible solution to helping students become better writers is for K-12 teachers to use the growing number of digital tools to teach writing. Another possible solution is for content area teachers (i.e., math, science, social studies, and language arts) to integrate writing assignments into their curricula. Consistent with the present national STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) initiative, which also embraces writing across the curriculum, students are no longer taught how to write just by the writing teacher. Instead, teachers at all levels, and in all content areas, are expected to use writing to help students both become better writers and to learn content knowledge. Therefore, it is important that K-12 teachers learn how to use new digital tools to effectively teach writing in the content areas. In particular, it is important to learn which technologies students are using, both inside and outside the classroom, and the implications this has for teaching and learning. As a result, there exists a need for an edited collection of articles in this area.
Objectives of the Book
- To provide research about using digital tools to support writing instruction with K-12 students.
- To disseminate information about how students use digital tools to write in school settings.
- To disseminate information about how students use digital tools to write outside of school settings.
- To disseminate information about students' perspectives on using technology to write.
- To discuss issues and concerns related to students using digital tools for writing.
- To discuss the teaching and learning implications of K-12 students using digital tools for writing.
Target Audience
The target audience of this book is educators who are, or who work with, K-12 content area teachers. Thus, the primary audience will be professionals and researchers working in the field of K-12 education and teacher education. Additional audiences are higher education and adult education professionals who can adapt the practical and effective applications for using new technologies to teach writing in their respective content areas.
Recommended topics include, but are not limited to the following:
- Hardware (e.g., iPads, Audiobooks, Smartboards, etc.) Used to Teach Writing in K-12 Classrooms
- Applications Used to Teach Writing in K-12 Classrooms
- Software Applications Used to Teach Writing in K-12 Classrooms
- Web-based/Online Tools for Use in the K-12 Writing Curriculum
- In-School Writing Using Digital Tools
- Students' Out-of-School Writing Using Digital Tools
- Action Research: K-12 Classroom Teachers Studying Students' Digital Writing Tools
- Training Teachers: Providing Professional Development for Digital Writing Tools
- The Future Use of Digital Writing Tools

Yesterday I shared a quick seder plate checklist.
But of course, the seder plate isn't all we have to remember for our seder table.
Here's a checklist of the items you'll want to be sure you prepare and set on your seder table.
Passover Seder Table Checklist
Haggadot, including any that you purchased specially for your children and/or that they made in school
Wine and/or grape juice
Bowls of salt water
Extra marror and charoset for the sandwiches
Extra karpas for dipping in salt water
Extra hard boiled eggs – not technically part of the seder, but I can't imagine a seder without a hard boiled egg!
Kiddush cup and wine cups for each place setting
Saucer or plate for spilling out the ten plagues
Kos Eliyahu (Elijah's cup)
Pillows for leaning
Props for the 10 Plagues – optional, of course
Afikomen prizes
Kittel, if your husband wears one
Did I miss anything? Let me know!

Fearless females: day #20
Oh yes, I have a few. The first one is my great great great grandmother Mary Ann McCoy. Here's what I know:
* she was born in 1844 in Linn Co., Missouri
* her parents were James M. and Mary Ann Moore McCoy
* her mother died in 1844 presumably in childbirth
* she is NOT on the 1850 census with her dad and siblings
* she IS on the 1860 census with her brother and his family
* she was married in 1861 to William Henry Fogle
* she is on the 1870 census with her husband and children
* she died in 1896
Ok, here are my question. Where was she in 1850? Who was she living with? I want to know who she was living with. She wasn't old enough to be a laborer in 1850, she would have only been 5-6 years old. Was she living with her maternal grandparents? I can't expand this line further because I don't know any information on her early life.
This is Mary Ann McCoy Fogle with her husband.
The second one is my great great great grandmother Martha Luticia Portis. Here's what I know about her:
* she was born in 1841 in North Carolina
* she is not listed on the 1850 census with who I have been told are her parents
* she was married to Calvin Gurley who died in the civil war (they are listed on the 1860 census) - they had one daughter
* she married Charles Henry Clay Walker
* they emigrated to Indiana and had eight children
* she died in Los Angeles, California on 13 Dec 1915
Again, I want to know where she was in 1850. Why isn't she with her family? Who is she with? She was only 8-9 when the 1850 census was taken, so where is she? What happened to her child with Calvin?
This is Martha Luticia Portis Walker with her husband.
These are my two biggest brick walls right now. I want to be able to take the lines farther, but I just haven't found the right pieces of the puzzle in order to do that. One day, I know I will.

Isn't it curious that they were both missing from the 1850 census? Good luck with your search

Last night on a whim I Googled my 2nd great grandparents, James & Mary Ann (Moore) McCoy. Imagine my shock when your site popped up!! My great grandfather was Henson McCoy, your Mary Ann's brother. I can put a little dent in your brick wall. The 1850 Census does include Mary. James & Sarah (2nd wife) were in Linn County, Missouri. Henson, John, William, Mariah & Polly A (Mary) are children of James & Mary Ann Moore; Franklin & George are children of James & Sarah (Cloud) McCoy. I don't have James & Sarah's 1860 census, they stayed in Texas. The Mary Ann McCoy living with Henson McCoy & family in 1860 is Henson's daughter (1854-1935, married John Stirnweis). Your Mary Ann must have been in California in 1860 as she married there in 1861.

According to California County Marriages 1850-1952, Mary and Henry married in 1860, NOT in 1861. So she obviously would have been on Henry's census in 1860. She probably lived with Henson until her marriage.

Thank you JG. But, I have to disagree with you about the Mary A. on the 1860 census. If the Mary A. on the 1860 census is Henson's daughter, then she is 10 years too old as the Mary A. on the census is 16 and Henson's daughter would only be 6.
I also have a copy of the original marriage record of Henry and Mary and it says they were married in 1861.

Mary Ann McCoy Fogle is my second great-grandmother. Have you been able to find out anything about her line? Thanks! Carol

Sintesi dell'editore
Dashing young Edmond Dantès has everything: a fine reputation, an appointment as captain of a ship, and the heart of a beautiful woman. But his perfect life is shattered when three jealous friends conspire to destroy him. Falsely accused of a political crime, Dantès is locked away for life in the infamous Chateau d'If prison. But it is there that Dantès learns of a vast hidden treasure. After 14 years of hopeless imprisonment, Dantès makes his daring escape and follows his secret map to untold fortune. Disguised now as the mysterious and powerful Count of Monte Cristo, Dantès seeks out his enemies - and nothing will stand in the way of his just revenge.
Filled with thrilling episodes of betrayal, romance, and revenge, The Count of Monte Cristo is one of the greatest adventure stories ever written.

A true Time-machine
At first I didn't want to write a review because so many have done that before me.
But I just can't help myself from expressing what this book did to me.
It is not only a story that transports you instantly back to a very interesting and tumultuous time in European history, but its also a story that is very confined to a specific group of people.
It is a story that has it all, love, romance, grief, hate, envy and on and on... The length of the book seems like to much of a commitment, but when I finished it I was sad that it had ended.
It was a joy to listen to John Lee's voice which took me back to Europe and to places I have wandered endlessly, he gives all characters their own identity and makes you forget that its a book and not a dream or fantasy your in the middle of experiencing.
If you are thinking about reading a classic or just want to check out Dumas... Read this book, it is like one of those dreams that you hope will never end.

What a pleasure to read a classic!
I have "meant" to read this book for many years, but the length seemed daunting and the language stilted, at least by 21st century terms. What a mistake it would have been to miss it! After a little "attitude adjustment", I found the flowery language elegant and fascinating and the character development is superb. One can only marvel at the decades-long plan that The Count, Edmund Dantes, has carefully set in motion to serve as suitable revenge for those whose greed and self-interest caused him to spend 14 long years in a dungeon. This review relates to the whole book, not just Part I, but each section was a new adventure and looking back, you can see how Dumas has not wasted a character or scene that does not justify the plot and the outcome. Yes, there are some slower sections (characters, in accordance with the era, sometimes take 30 words to say what could be said in 5), but overall I found myself wanting to get back into the car or back on to the plane as soon as possible. It is a bit like watching "Masterpiece Theater"--not for everyone or every taste, but it's not an acknowledged masterpiece for nothing. And excellent narration.

Fantastic Story
I have listened to this four times now and love it more each time. The plot twists, intense emoting and descriptive language made this a book I repeatedly found myself standing motionless in the middle of the room, seeing what the author wrote instead of the room around me. Totally engrossing.
The narrator, too, read it so passionately that it totally draws me in every time. If I have a day of housework, this is what I put in my mp3 player.
Though the fainting ladies and overblown emotion can be tiring in this day and age to read, it was the style of the time and if I had been laced up as tight as those women were, I'd probably faint every time my heart rate rose too. Even so, Dumas treated that tendency with humor, which made me chuckle and roll my eyes during those scenes where "she tried her best to faint but couldn't", as he put it. The narration made up for it 95% of the time- the last 5% only during the love scenes, which were sickeningly sweet compared to romance of our age.
Every fan of classic literature should read this at least once.

Really-REALLY Classic!
You major in literature and you get over 60 and find time to catch up on all the "classics" you should have read. Hey, some of them are a real crock! This is the story I've been waiting for. How I wish my French were good enough to read the original. No wonder the French have taken it to their hearts! Most of us would like to get revenge or prove something. Most of us think we would enjoy unlimited wealth. This story is about a bright and good-looking hero who has been betrayed terribly by his closest friends. He has every reason to want revenge. He comes into great wealth. He gets his revenge very slowly after a decade of preparation. The bad folks are caught mostly by their own evil, even when the hero gives them a chance to improve. This book is delicious! It is set in a period of French history but the same story can be told many ways. Everyone wants a good address, the prettiest girl, plenty of bling-bling. In the first listen you are trying to keep everyone straight. The hero's friends become nobility with fancy titles and you have to recognize all their names. The Wikipedia article on this helped me. In the first listen you're in suspense. In the second listen, you remember being in suspense and hear new details. It must be said that the narration is absolutely top drawer, so good that you don't notice it. I love the way this author describes the decor and clothing. And I love Dumas for not digressing to show off his knowledge of whales or understanding of what went wrong in a certain battle, or any sort of fancy talk to prove he's smart and in the know. He simply tells a wonderful story with many details and many twists and turns. The ending leaves one in a good space, able to imagine all the good characters sailing off into the sunset.

What...a pleasure!
Not only is the story magical, but the narrator John Lee was nothing short of sublime.
This is the first time I've listened to the narration of John Lee, but it will certainly NOT be the last. It was as if someone had kidnapped his mother and told him "if you don't pour out every last ounce of your soul into these characters, you'll never see her again". Had that been the case...Lee would have had his mother returned to him without a scratch.
To rate this experience a 5.0 is not enough.
Don't miss this gem.

This is a fantastic book. Period. The story is wonderfully constructed and beautifully written. The narration is clear and the characters rendered perfectly by narrator John Lee. I could not stop listening to this book. I would sit in my car at lunch or in my driveway at night, listening to "just one more section."
I heartily recommend this book, it's a great one !

Ok, so I was buying a lawnmower...
...and the guy says, "With a lawn as big as yours, you really need a riding mower." I smiled, knowing I had the perfect counterargument to his sales pitch. "That's ok, I have an iPod and I just started The Count of Monte Cristo."
As the words left my mouth I realized I just forfeited any chance I had that this guy would treat me as a man and a brother. In the horsepower-and-self-propulsion world of your average lawnmower shop, literary discussions are not the ticket to respect. I imaged the thought that was forming under his feed cap: "What a dweeb."
Instead, his jaw dropped, his eyes popped and he said "That's a great book! I read the unabridged version, and there's a lot of detail, but it's just fantastic!"
A few weeks later I was catching the train to work. A guard I've become friendly with was supervising the restocking of the vending machines. My train wasn't for a few minutes so I made a detour. After a few casual remarks about the weather the guard noticed the iPod clipped to my jacket and asked what I was listening to. I said The Count of Monte Cristo, with that same shrinking feeling I had at the lawnmower emporium. But the vending guy stood bolt upright, his eyes wide and his hair a-bristle: "That's a great book!"
I was now convinced I was the only person in the universe who hadn't read The Count of Monte Cristo. And thanks to John Lee and Audible, that flaw in an otherwise blameless upbringing has now been repaired.
Yes, it includes everything I don't like about 19th Century novels (Jane Austen excluded): it is sloppily, even glutinously sentimental. It is overwrought. It is insanely improbable. It is Gothic. It is Romantic in that overly-ripe, Victorian/Dickensian way that gets under my skin.
And it is also one of the greatest books I have ever read. Or listened to.
For all its improbabilities it is true to life. For all it's sentimentality it almost moved me to tears. For all its Gothic cloak-and-dagger antics it is a profoundly, even beautifully Catholic work of literature. It is a big, baggy story full of cul-de-sacs and blind corners, memorable characters and quotable sentences. Yes, the good people are a little too saintly and the bad ones a shade too bad. But what holds it all together is the Count himself. What he suffers, what he does and, finally, what he learns about revenge, forgiveness and redemption are well worth the 56 hour journey. And the lawn looks really good, too.
John Lee's clean, clear delivery seldom falters. In a six-part audiobook I needed to back up and re-listen only a handful of times to catch something I'd missed. Sometimes the male characters get a little mixed, but that's to be expected in conversations where 4 or 5 are speaking at once. And an invaluable aid to keeping the story straight is supplied by Dumas himself. Since the novel was originally serialized, he's always reminding us of when we last saw a character he's reintroducing to the story--knowing that the newspaper with that vital information has long since been wrapped around a fish in a Parisian gutter.
I got this one on sale, but even at full price it is a bargain.

Still My Number One Book Ever from Audible
It's been over a year since I've listened to this book and it still rings in my ears. With 30-some books read from Audible, this is my favorite. John Lee did an amazing job making this story absolutely engrossing! I recommend this book to anyone that will listen.

The Best
One has to believe that truly, for many of the reviewers of this book, this one is maybe the best they have read. Decidedly, this is the case for me. It is cleverly funny, mesmerizingly beautiful and intelligently written. Some have commented on its length. For this reader, the length only made the savoring longer and more delicious. Each character is beautifully developed by Dumas and flawlessly rendered by John Lee. The story is complex but simply conveyed. I could not more highly recommend a book and its narrator than this one.

A Few Tips
I like to catch up with missed classics through Audible.com. While an excellent book, the Count of Monte Cristo can be a difficult audio book to listen to because many of the characters have several different names and their lives are intertwined in convoluted and complex ways. Since paging back and forth in audio is really hard, I highly recommend some sort of Cliff's Notes to familiarize yourself with the characters. Also, remember that Dumas wrote the novel in serial form which is why some points may seem to be belabored - he had a quota to fill!

This tale has been chopped about over the years until the true essence of a wonderful writer has all but been lost! Here, though is the complete story. Anyone who wishes to know just how to write should study this!
John Lee is one of the most talented narrators I have ever listened to. As I have said before, with other stories, his characterisation is perfect!!

Wonderful story brilliantly narrated!
It's a long, long story, but the time flies by and the narrator is positively excellent! He tells it in such a wonderfully engaging way that you can't help but get carried away with the plight of each character. In short, it's a brilliantly interesting tale of a man wrongly imprisoned and his cleverly calculated revenge...! I couldn't put my headphones down!

Long but enjoyable
This book unabridged is long - but the detail is brilliant and vital. Before Dantes escapes prison, Dumas mostly writes at the speed and from the view of Dantes which means that sometimes you are just as confused as Dantes as to why something has happened or not happened. Thankfully you're not kept waiting for the solution for long! Later you are at the mercy of what the count is willing to allow you to know and again there are moments when you wonder how one or more characters are going to get their come-uppance. I love the numerous identities of the count and found I frequently couldn't stop listening. John Lee does a fabulous job of the reading and if it wasn't for the family names and titles getting muddled at the beginning in my mind I am sure this would have been a 5 star book and reading

Excellent but sags a little in the middle
I had always wanted to read this and have no regrets at listening to the 40+ hours. I would only recommend this if you have a lot of time on your hands and are prepared for it to go a little off the boil in the middle third. It is still an excellent story and full of twists and turns that should keep you interested until the end. I loved it and as I do have a lot of time on my hands (3hrs car commute every day) I found it a very enjoyable listen. You would benefit from listening to it in large chunks as keeping track of who is who over the many years of the story, with early family names changing to the "Count of X" and "Baron Y" confused me a little.

One of the best stories in the World
This is a wonderful story and well read by John Lee. Some narrators are difficult to listen to for a long time but I really had no problem during the 47 hours that this book is read over. The Count of Monte Cristo has to be Unabridged to be fully appreciated, any cutting would ruin the story and the understanding of the character development. There is really no other way to "read" a classic like this. Easily a multi-listen book.

Abolutely loved this book. The narration took me a little while to get into (I had just listened to the brilliance that is Simon Vance reading The Three Musketeers) but once I did, I can't fault it. John Lee has the perfect voice for the Count of Monte Cristo. I listened to this on my iPod walking to and from work and would frequently be striding down the street with a big smile on my face. Have started telling everyone I know to read the book or listen to the audiobook! It is a long reading, but a great chance to 'read' a book that I might not have stuck with in its paper form - though I have now bought it!
Loved the structure, the plot and the characters. Absolutely brilliant. A work of genius.

Epic saga.
This is a novel that I wouldn't read,I would and did find it tedious, but....... In audio form with a great narrator, I must say,it's truly great!.The spoken word evokes much more to me than a printed text.My eyes now see pictures generated by the description of a master storyteller without being distracted by reading.A book is only a record of words to speak, but the voice was the way all stories were told,passed on by word of mouth.So listen to this novel and hear for yourself all the facets of the spoken word,in this marvellous adventure

Exam: Minnesota Shooting Suspect Incompetent For Trial
STILLWATER (AP) — Officials say a psychological exam found a Minnesota man incompetent to stand trial on charges he killed a 9-year-old boy in a random shooting last month.
The evaluation of 34-year-old Nhan Lap Tran of Oakdale is not public. However, Washington County Attorney Pete Orput says the examiner concluded Tran is incompetent to stand trial.
Orput asked the court for another evaluation. Tran's attorney has not entered a plea for Tran.
Members of Tran's family were at Monday's hearing. They released a statement expressing grief for the family of Devin Aryal, the boy Tran is accused of killing.
The shooting rampage happened on Feb. 11 in Oakdale. Devin died in the shootings, and his mother and another woman were wounded.
The next hearing is May 10.

Original post by Banking.com Staff on December 21, 2011
As we wrap up 2011 and head into the New Year, we asked some of our readers to share their thoughts on the banking industry in 2012. This past year has been filled with mobile and tablet innovation, but will that carry on in 2012? How will social media impact financial institutions in the next year? Here's what the experts are saying:
"Of those banks that are currently using social media as a channel to communicate with their customers, much of the focus has been on appealing to Gen X and Gen Y customers," says Karen Licker, Financial Consultant & Social Banker (Independent) for J.D. Power and Associates. "Clearly Gen X and Gen Y customers comprise the majority of those subscribing to and using social media, but the number of Pre-Boomers and Boomers who do so as well is growing at a considerable rate. In addition, Based on J.D. Power's 2011 Retail Satisfaction Survey, nearly one in five Gen X and Gen Y customers state that they are likely to utilize social media for banking-related topics in the future, and more than one in 10 Pre-Boomer and Boomer customers are likely to do the same. Banks should be prepared to interact with and satisfy the growing Pre-Boomer and Boomer customers too!"

"2012 will finally see the tipping point for mobile banking. Mobile moves beyond today's limited functionality and starts to become the primary remote customer channel. Look for some interesting corporate bedfellows to emerge as the financial services ecosystem starts validating mobile payment business models and the importance of controlling new methods of money transfers and payments. We will see continued disruption in the space, as it relates to payments, security protocols, features like proximity rewards, integrated p2p and a2a with social tether, account opening, and more. Expect feature rich device agnostic applications that enhance usability and user experience across a range of mobile and tablet devices." Bradley G. Leimer, Vice President, Online and Mobile Strategy at Mechanics Bank (@leimer)
"2012 will be the year of improved customer lifecycle management. With the fees and interest margins associated with accounts falling, there is a need to acquire a new customer more efficiently, onboard each new customer more effectively, achieve a higher level of relationship engagement and gain a greater share of wallet. Financial organizations will also need to focus more resources on retaining current clients since replacing these households has become so expensive." Jim Marous, Senior Director, Marketing Services, Harland Clarke (@JimMarous)
"In the credit card space, service alerts have steadily grown in importance over the last few years," says Michael Beird, Director of Banking Services for J.D. Power and Associates. "Based on J.D. Power's 2011 Credit Card Satisfaction Study, cardholder satisfaction increases by 98 index points (on a 1,000-point scale) when service alerts are offered and used. Email (80%) is the most common form of service alert, and is followed by phone calls (23%); text messages (15%); and secure online messages (8%). Interestingly, secure online messaging is the lowest-used service alert feature, but it results in the highest satisfaction (783). While issuers still have to do a better job of informing their customers about the availability of the service, it's clear that customers are seeking ongoing and proactive communication from their banks. Informing customers of status issues and concerns in real time, via text, email or secure online, is an emerging service that will likely grow exponentially in the year ahead."

End of the line for physio?June 26, 2010 at 4:04 pm | Posted in arthrits, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, joint pai, fibromyalgia, Me, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) | 2 Comments
Tags: arthritis, consultant, doctor, GP, NHS, physical therapy, physio, physiotherapy, R.A., RA, rhematoid arthritis, rheumatoid, Rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), thyroid
OK, here's the thing – the geniuses at my local NHS physo department (or should that be genii?) have decreed that in order to 'be in line with the private sector' they will only give any patient a maximum of six appointments before they kick them out. (The last three words are, of course, my terminology and not theirs!)
I asked Lovely Physio how this was 'in line with the private sector', as I had had to have quite a bit of private treatment before I got into the NHS programme and oddly enough they hadn't been anxious to see the back of me after six appointments. No surprise there – I was paying them. Why would they want to be shot of me? She said something like, 'I have no idea, but that's how they're presenting it to us!'
I suspect the idea is that by ignoring the fact that there are people with chronic conditions who can benefit enormously from regular therapy and pretending that everyone they see can be 'cured' in six appointments, they can massage their figures by getting the waiting list down from the current five weeks to a more 'in line with the private sector' one to three weeks.
The complexity of the system emerges from the fact that it's general practitioner budget that pay for this treatment, but once you were being treated, until now, it was up to each physio to decide when and if to discharge. The GPs had little or no say, but they had to pay. So the idea is that you now have your maximum of six appointments and then go back to the GP if you feel you need to still see a physio, to get re-referred, as I mentioned in the previous post. The GP can, of course, say no. I suspect if I see the one that knows me she would say yes … we'll have to wait and see, but even if she does we're looking at a five-week waiting list right now.
One silver lining in the cloud – they have an SOS system whereby if I need to see my physio in the next couple of months I can phone and make an appointment saying I'm on the 'SOS list'. I can then go in under that and have maybe six appointments then before getting kicked out! Hopefully I won't need to see her in the next two months, but last time I thought that I only lasted three weeks …
Unfortunately I feel I have very little fight in me at the moment – I don't know if that might be something to do with the thyroid issues i might or might not have, but that's the way it is!

Warren Kinsella ReWriting History Again?
"Thus, when my former boss Jean Chretien called in the RCMP in May 2002 to probe the then-nascent sponsorship file, the Liberal party was sitting at more than 50% in national public opinion polls."
Actually Warren, it was AG Sheila Fraser who called in the RCMP, as a result of a tip from a civil servant a few years earlier. It was Fraser who wrote that every rule in the book had been broken in regards to the $350 million in contracts doled out for little or no work, with some of that money kicked back to the Liberal Party. In fact Chretien dismissed Adscam in Question Period one day, saying if a few million of taxpayer dollars were stolen it was no biggy.
And if memory serves me correctly, it was Chretien who prorogued Parliament to avoid having the the AG ADSCAM report presented to the house while he was still PM. He instead dropped that steaming pile of dung onto Paul Martin. The problem is Chretien can never get all the smell of that dung off him.
Warren does make one point that I wholeheartedly agree with, " As a result, Harper will win again in 2015. Though my reasoning doesn't follow Warren's logic that it will be a result of vote splitting on the left, but rather the fact the faux-robocall scandal won't stick, nothing there, other than a few complaints in the riding of Guelph, and contacts from Leadnow that will prove false and unsubstantiated.
I'm also somewhat surprised by Warren's column. Most strategists know that when the gun is pointed at your opponent, it's never a bright idea to hand it to them and let them take aim at you. By bringing up Chretien, the Liberal Party, and Adscam, it looks like bang bang your dead.
Absolutely brilliant:0)

Good post! Actually when I think about it what can Warren bring up about the Liberals thats positive.
Chretain with adscam, his golf course deal.
Persecuting the Bank Manager who stood up to him by refusing a loan to Chretains "buyer"
Buying two jets,
Cancelling the helicopters.
Outright fakery, promising to get rid of GST.
Not a Leader I was proud of.

Warren is off the rails and out in never never land. His column last week saying that RoboCon(his word) would stick to the Conservatives for years to come, was so out there,(with his Code Yellow, Code Red..), that it was actually humorous.
I agree with Bubba, there is nothing,absolutely nothing that is positive about the Liberals, then or now.
And yes Paul, the reason the Conservatives win again will be because of their opponents offering nothing to Canadians other than "Those mean, mean Conservatives", and the Conservatives offering up a stable, reality based government.

With regard to Chretien ... you forgot a few ...
* Buying 2nd hand British crap submarines
* Decimating the military and then sending them to Afghanistan without proper equipment
* Springing Khadr sr. from a Pakistan jail
* Gun registry
* Kyoto
... and Kinsella was an intimate part of that "lovely" legacy.

I always find myself feeling embarrassed for Canada when I hear Mr Kinsella's rants. Some of us read the Gomerey files and understand the amateurish games that the interviews show Mr Kinsella was up to.
I just shake my head when Sun news gives him time to display his Machiavellian gifts. There must be a few Liberals around that Sun news could use to appear balanced.
- March 11, 2012 at 9:42:00 AM PDT
"also somewhat surprised by Warren's column."
I like your osting and I also am surprised at Kinsella's column for the same reason.
But the two things I'm surprised at are why that washed up has-been is still employed by a news organization and why anyone still reads his columns.
For Pete's SAKE! He's still blathering about Chretien! That was HOW LONG ago?
I thought news organizations were about NEWS y'know?
What on earth is NEW about kinsella?
- March 11, 2012 at 9:55:00 AM PDT
I think the Sun should keep him. lets Sun readers see how clueless the left are.Good contrast.. Good for the soul.

I hope the Sun keeps WK in place,so we can see how the Liberal mind works and be reminded of it if we should forget.
As has been said by other posters here,Chretien presided over the most scandal-ridden government in Canadian history.
Kinsella should know better than to resurrect Chretien's name and regime,but maybe he has rose-colored 20/20 hindsight,and looks on those days as glorious.
- March 11, 2012 at 11:40:00 AM PDT
Well written. Send it to the Sun for publishing in letter to the editor or op ed section.

I didn't realise that running a forum involved actual physical work. Pah.
There appears to be some kind of automaton-spambot self-registering-entity/ies that are constantly trying to register with this site - so that, I assume, some nobhead can then log in and spam the board with adverts for shit that no one wants. Or maybe they do - I don't know. But we don't want them here, because most of them seem to be Russian - and we can't have those damn pinko neo-capitalist hate-mongering Pootin-worshippers slavering their drool here.
If you wish to join, please register, then use the contact us link at the bottom of the page to tell me the username that you are registering. I'll then ok it via the backend here. Sorry to be a pain, but this appears to be the best way to do it, unless someone has a better idea.

Re: Joining Altered Minds
I reckon most forums have to put up with this. The present feature that requires an initial post to be approved by a moderator is probably sufficient to catch most of them but I suppose that now and again one will come up with a 'convincing' OP. They can still be banned after that though.

Re: Joining Altered Minds
Bloody hell - getting 150 'fake' registrations per day. Boring and tedious to remove. Most have email bouncebacks that clog my inbox. Bloody internet.
Re: Joining Altered Minds
That sounds like a lot, I wonder if other forums have the same problem, if not I might (tentatively) wonder about being targeted**. There may be a message board at the phpBB site where it's possible to get in touch with other admins.
It seems like the requirement for post approval is a good feature after all, imagine all those actually posting, it would be the opposite extreme to what we have now.
**I notice that Baldhu Spider (a Chinese bot) pops in whenever China is mentioned, but that's mostly a benign presence.

I am not sure what the secret is but I still have my forum going and almost no one ever joins, or posts, or anything!
the upside is I don't get any bots, at all.

After withstanding an early flurry by the Phoenix Coyotes, the Ducks cruised to a victory.
Dustin Penner scored two goals as the Ducks handed the Phoenix Coyotes their first home loss in regulation this season, 4-2, Saturday night.
Sami Vatanen had a power-play goal and Corey Perry also tallied for the Ducks in the win over the Coyotes, who were 9-0-2 this season at Jobing.com Arena. Anaheim is the last team to remain undefeated at home in regulation.
"After we stopped them early, we started to play our game," said goalie Jonas Hiller. "It was good they didn't score and that gave us some confidence."
Following a shutout against Tampa Bay on Friday night, Hiller earned his second straight victory and improved his season record to 9-3-2. In the two wins, Hiller stopped 73 of 75 shots.
The Coyotes dominated at the start but had nothing to show for it — they outshot the Ducks 8-0 in the first five minutes. The Ducks' first shot came eight minutes in, when Andrew Cogliano's shot bounced off goalie Mike Smith in the crease.
Shane Doan scored on a tip-in with 4:20 to play in the third. He also assisted on Mike Ribeiro's second-period goal and has at least a point in eight straight games.
The Ducks extended their record to 3-0 against Pacific Division rival Phoenix. Two games remain between the teams this season.
"We talked about getting off to a good start," said captain Ryan Getzlaf, who picked up a point in his fourth straight game. "We have a great deal of depth on this team and guys stepped up during important points in the game."
The Coyotes had 15 shots on Hiller in the first, two short of their season high for a period. But the Ducks scored first.
On the power play, Penner positioned himself in front of Jeff Halpern and easily converted a pass by Nick Bonino from the right side into his fifth goal of the season at 11:11 of the period.
Despite having the second-best home power-play percentage, the Coyotes were 0 for 3 with the man advantage in the first period.
Penner scored his second of the night on a two-on-one break with a shot through Smith's pads at 8:03. Perry then beat Michael Stone in the slot and flipped a wrist shot behind Smith at 11:01 to make it 3-1.

Sparking Ingenuity and Collaborationto Enable Mission Success
The AIAA SPACE Conference & Exposition comes at a critical time for the space community as a number of outside forces continue to shape decisions and directions. Budgets are being squeezed, new players are emerging, business models are evolving. Now more than ever it is critical for government, industry, and academia to work together to lead the community forward in a sustainable direction, for all of us to continue our industry's legacy of innovation to solve problems and exploit emerging opportunities, and to develop the technology that will enable the next steps in our shared journey outward. It is with these factors in mind that we have developed the program for SPACE 2013.
The theme of "Sparking Ingenuity and Collaboration to Enable Mission Success" is explored through frank and forward-looking discussions designed to review the current achievements in space and highlight new initiatives and plans, while surfacing the key issues and challenges that need to be addressed in order to define clear roadmaps for future progress. The event provides the leaders from government, industry, and academia an opportunity to share ideas on how to focus the great talent and resources of the space community on the future. This work fuels the collective human drive to explore and be part of something bigger than ourselves, and brings about new technologies that make everyday living better for all of us.

For our 1st Annual Anti-Aging Awards in 2010, we focused on skincare products and last year we targeted hair care. With more and more cosmetics making anti-aging claims, we decided this year to test makeup categories that either claim to have de-aging benefits (including foundations, concealers, and lipsticks) or makeup products that are anti-aging by default-items like mascara and brow fillers that compensate for age-related thinning hair.
Last summer we met with our Beauty editorial team and came up with the 10 categories to test. The products that fall under these categories were called in and vetted by GH beauty experts and three celebrity make-up artists. We looked at the ingredients to see which should have the most anti-aging benefits as well as their cosmetic qualities. They applied the products (all 283 of them), one by one to ensure that we would just test the cream of the crop. We eliminated mascaras that didn't cover lashes in three swipes, foundations that didn't become absorbed into the skin, and lip plumpers that were irritating.
Makeup artist Birgitte Philippides applied feather-resistant lip liners on our Associate Beauty Editor Melanie Rud and others to ensure that the liners we selected to test were most effective.
Makeup artist Troy Surratt smeared, smudged, and tested texture as he pored over products in one of our screening sessions.
The 97 products that made it through our screening process were then subjected to our extensive consumer, clinical, and lab tests.
All products we test are blinded or put in generic packaging. Here, foundation samples are stacked up, soon to be tested for their hydration (on the Corneometer) and firming efficacy (on the Cutometer) in the lab.
Using a panelist's arm, a GHRI staffer tests the firmness of makeup foundations with the Cutometer.
We captured images of testers' skin on our Visia Complexion analyzer and then looked for any changes in wrinkles, spots, and texture that took place within the test periods (4 or 8 weeks depending on the study).
A batch of product-containing envelopes soon to be shipped across the country to get consumer feedback on how these products fared under real-use conditions.
A sigh of relief....After hundreds of mailed envelopes, here is the very last one in our outbox.
After analyzing 10,680 Corneometer and 4,272 Cutometer readings, and 3,127 before-and-after images and inputting the feedback from 2004 consumer questionnaires, the final step was to tally the results to come up with the 22 winners of our extensive study.

I'm not a set theorist. Perhaps the answer to my question is so well known that it is not appropriate to answer here or my question is absurd. Nevertheless I'll try: I have heard the rumor that, similar to the extension of positive integers to negative integers, recently(?) also attempts have been made to investigate negative cardinalities.
My question: What would be the intuitive picture behind negative cardinality and can also in that domain countable and uncountable cardinals exist?

Dear Editor;
Is City Hall at it againare they trapping cats and dumping them illegally? Are they poisoning them? That's the word around town anyway?! Also, during the council meeting broadcast on the Reinbeck channel the question was asked - are we going to continue doing the same thing to the cats? The next words were, "Meeting adjourned!" If that doesn't have "GUILTY" written all over it I don't know what does. Hmmmmmm cats have been coming up dead (with no apparent injuries) and missing.
Some folks at City Hall continue to be part of the problem, not the solution of feral cats. Proven solutions have been given to City Hall over and over and yet they continue to be part of the problem instead of the solution. You can continue to kill and dump and guess what, more will take their place. And we hear it over and over that the town folk don't like cats using their gardens and flowerbeds as litter boxes. Guess what, the cats would rather be indoors, fed and warm and not out desperately trying to survive. Until humans quit dumping their cats and all get spayed or neutered, feral cat populations will continue. Also don't want to hear that the cats kill birdswell that's what cats do since they can't run to the local grocery store and pickup some kibble. Besides, your house windows and cars kill more birds than any cat. So get over it people, give them a place to get out of the weather, provide them food and water and be glad they're around and keeping mice out of your home because when one leaves, another will take it's place!
Do the compassionate thing, SPAY or NEUTER and BE PART OF THE SOLUTION, NOT THE PROBLEM!

This will give you the basic TEFL teaching skills and hugely upgrade your employability.
