I wrote this in the hope that it will help the newbies. Sometimes I spent more time in one phase than in others, sometimes went back and forth, but eventually I got through it. You are not alone and you can get through it with persistence and being your own best advocate.
My experience in getting a PM:
Shock, what the heck happened, I was fine a short time ago, no heart issues
Fear, I could die from this.
Pain, I've been cut open and foreign objects installed.
Discomfort, as the incision and bruises heal and I try to get used to having a chunk of titanium in me.
Anxiety, as I realize how close to death I was and there is only this tiny electronic battery operated computer ...

Can you get anything from your heart doctor to get you off wearing a seat belt

experienced complete heart block on Friday morning, pacemaker implanted Friday afternoon. I hope to make a good adjustment and will be sensible. Fitness is very important to me: fast walker, yoga, cardio & resistance training. I hope I will be allowed to resume all these activities. I live in San Jose,Ca and would like to connect with others. I'm a single woman in my early 60's.

I'm Not Me

Since being diagnosed with CHF and having the CRT implanted I have really struggled with feeling like "me". For years I was always one of the healthiest people around. Ate right, exercised, actually took cod liver oil for my heart (yuck!). I never would have guessed that I would be diagnosed with CHF
with an EF of less than 20%. It was touch and go for a while. I never realized the symptoms I had was from CHF. I just thought it was "mommy syndrome" - burning the candle at both ends. Now I'm here, 8 years later. I had my first CRT in 2006. My second 4 years later in 2010. I assumed I would have to get another this year. Checked with the EP Nurse and she tells me I have 8-12 months remaining on the battery. That's good news. I k...

Just working and out of blue started passing out. GOT a Pace maker was put in in 2011. I have it for a year and have had 5 surgery lead. (2 leads came unattached, and infection, 3 issues with pace maker) I had a heart doctor and decided to change after you never even came in to see me during a year and a half. Got another doctor which everyone said was super but I he did try and figure out why this happened. Lexiscan done, catherization and arteries blocked. Put me on medicine and was told him I was allergic to sulfa drugs. Was told to take it. Ended up with Hives, another medication made me fill like I was spaced out. Called and called only nurse would not make me an appointment and was told I had to go through her. JUST gave up and nev...

I was implanted on July 8, 2014. Dual chamber pacemaker. I was put on Xarelto and Amiodarone. The Amirodarone was bad news for me - had dizziness and fainting. Am now off of it. My question is, does anyone have atrial fibrillation, sinus node dysfunction with a pacemaker and know what life expectancy I might expect. I am 67 year old male.

Hello my name is Alex. I have posted here in quite sometime but it feels like a good time. I'm 23 and I was recently with my 9th pacemaker/defibrillator and it hasn't gotten easier. On top of chronic pain from implant scars on my right and left my depression hasn't really improved and has only gotten worse sine my grandmother who also had a pacemaker/defibrillator and my same condition passed away several weeks ago. Her heart is a.decent look into the future of myself which is bleak especially since I presented with the condition much earlier. I also deal with severe chronic pain that I take prescribed narcotics for that only take the edge off. Surgery, lidocain, steroid injects all had no effect on the scar tissue that pains me on m...

How do you deal with PAC's?
Posted by cb on 2014-07-21 16:17. 4 comments. 225 reads
I have a 2 lead St Jude for 18 mos, for 3rd degree heart block. I take no medicines. Last March, after an emotional hit, I went to the ER and was told I was having premature atrial contractions. They gave me some nice (but only 10!) anti anxiety pills and sent me home. But I am feeling that way again....HR is 83 (am programmed 55 low rate) while laying in bed...and I FEEL the very strong contractions...not good. I don't have any reason to feel upset now. Do any of you have PAC? What do you do to stop it? I am feeling wrung out and unhappy about this and will appreciate any input.
(BTW, the trip to the ER cost big bucks and thus I do not wish to do that again)
Need some insight

Sorry this is quite long but I am new to this group!! I appreciate any feedback!!! Here's my story....
Feb 2011 got flu. Have been a little over weight and went to doc to try to loose weight and did EKG. Found issues and sent me to cardiologist. Doc did angiogram and said it caused non-ischemic Cardiomyopathy, and a LBBB. Didn't know until 3 months later. no blockages but confirmed other issues. Said had CHF with an EF of 20%, after surgery reevaluated was 40% and doc said that would be the best I will get. I also have sleep apnea, and asthma (mild), Chf Nyha Class II, and IBS.
Put me on:

I have not been around for awhile because there has been ssoooo much going on in my life and I have not had any issues with my PM (implanted last October). Although I did find that getting through my extremely busy season became in doubt toward the end. I was not sure if I was going to make it. But I did. Not sure if I can do it again. But to my reason for posting, I told my wife last night that I have do my pacemaker transmission on Tuesday. The "my pacemaker" part gave me pause. I am still, after 9 months, still in a non-believing state of mind at times. Not always, and not even most of the time. But sometimes. To all of you veterans out there: does that feeling EVER go away?

Hello all.
I had my pacemaker fitted early May 2014. Since then i have
returned to the pacemaker clinic at my local hospital. And they
inform me that the pacemaker is working fine. My problem is i
am still not well in myself. I cannot walk to far. Time spent in the
garden is limited to light duties and anything a little bit more taxing causes me tightness in my chest and a soreness of my
chest wall and soreness up into the jaw and neck. I have been
back into hospital since having my pacemaker fitted. I have been taken to hospital twice by ambulance as my symptons
were tightness and soreness of my chest. I had blood tests early in the day and late on in the day as the doctor at the hospital s...

Flutter Ablation and Dual Lead Pacemaker Implant
Hi again! Well, I had my Aflutter ablation and Pacemaker implant 4 weeks ago today and I am still experiencing daily irregular beats as well as periods of 100+ heart rate at times even while just sitting. I've phoned my doctors more times than they seem to like so 2 weeks ago I just quit calling to complain and question if all this is normal. They continued to tell me I will experience these kinds of things for up to 3 months and it's normal! It was also mentioned he will see me in 3 months and check out my situation then and it's a possibility I will need the "big" ablation as he calls it. I've experienced Afib in the past - diagnosed 3 years ago as Paroxsymal Afib and have had a...

I have had a pacemaker fitted 2 weeks ago, quite a shock emergency situation, I think I am coping but keep checking and rechecking all the information I am given
I am a carer for my husband who on the same day had a knee replacement without knowing I was in hospital. However although he is 74 and a farmer who only wants to work full time again and I am 66 and want to go cycling in Vietnam and Cambodia which I did last year and India the year before - we have decided enough is enough and we aim to live life as full as possible.
However I still find myself wondering how I am going to cope I have sinus node disease and the consultant mentioned tachybracycardia I keep reading your comments and they are inspiring. ...

It is just over 10 years since a dual lead device was implanted for complete heart block. It has worked perfectly and I have traveled well near two million miles internationally since then.

I was thinking this morning about the changes in my life over the past 3 years since being a devoted fan of SparkPeople. The following are just a few I came up with, you might think of some of "your" changes.
My favorite drink in the past:
Now I prefer water with lemon or perhaps a glass of non-fat milk
My favorite snack in the past:
Now I most often turn to:
And the whole world made their way thru the beloved "drive thru's"
It's been years since I indulged in that kind of food, now I favor salad, chicken, etc.
Let's not forget our leisure time:
which of course now is more like:
Breakfast from days gone by: !
Breakfast now is usually a smoothie!
Yes, folks, our lives change, but it's all for the best. Back in the "good old days" I wore a much bigger size clothing, I got tired easily, and climbing stairs left me gasping for air! So I'm HAPPY to see these changes taking place. A year from now I'll look and see what else has changed
I know my progress has been slow by many standards, but it has been fairly consistent. It has taken me a long time to get where I am now, and I've still got 7 pounds to get to my goal. So shouldn't I still be hopping out of bed to go to the gym, keeping track of every morsel of food that crosses my lips?? What's wrong with me?
Tonight we had to go to a meeting and there wasn't really time to cook dinner unless we did the TV dinner thing -- and I did that for lunch, so when DH suggested stopping by Tagliano's I quickly said YES! He always gets a shrimp dish that is on their appetizer menu, but when I sat down I saw they had a small (personal) size pizza on special for "Happy Hour." For some reason it sounded very appealing to me. And that's what I ordered. And I can't remember when the last time was that I ordered pizza -- it's just not on my "OK" list anymore.
Do we all hit one of these slumps? I should be chomping at the bit to get rid of this last 7 lbs especially since I'm going on an extended trip on March 9th -- so just another month to go! I know vacations aren't the best time to lose weight, and it's hard to weigh in, and keep track, I'm not even sure how much time I'll get to have on the computer. . . . . so I should be really serious about this now more than ever!
Am I normal? Or am I crazy? Has it happened to anyone else to suddenly just feel kind of blah? What can I do?
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when I looked over the disk with the photos on it from the wedding-- laughter because we laughed so much during the ceremony (probably drove the Judge half batty) or tears because to my eyes each and every wrinkle was very apparent -- sometimes I see them, sometimes I ignore them, and rarely, on a good day, I don't even notice them.
But here we go -- I'm dressed and as ready as I'll ever be:
The guests begin arriving, and George is so nervous he can't remember anyone's name -- duh! the fun begins!
I've got the boutiniere on the best man, so he's ready:
The Judge and his wife arrive, paperwork in hand:
Everyone gathers in the kitchen to tend to the paperwork first:
Even George signs his life away:
Yes, Even the bride puts her signature on the legal documents:
The groom is more relaxed now! Little does he know!!!
I wanted you to know we didn't laugh during the "entire" ceremony, so just for the record -- here's a serious moment:
What? Did you say OBEY? You've GOT to be KIDDING!!
The Happy Couple:
And I've always liked the two hands showing off the matching rings:
And here's one of the ENTIRE family, Amber wonders if SHE has to change her name too???
Hope you all enjoyed attending our tiny little wedding. . . . it was with friends in our own home and that made it very special!
There is the old story about do you want the good news first or the bad news first? Well, this isn't exactly that type of story, but you could twist it around that way if you wanted to.
The bad news is that I used to crave eating chocolate covered raisins . . . .
The good news is that I still do, but now I plan them into my diet.
The bad news is that I'm a procrastinator, hate to get started exercising. . . .
The good news is that I'm in the "habit" of doing something active every day.
The bad news is that I used to pay very little attention to what I ate . . . .
The good news is that in my "healthy lifestyle" I unconsciously eat right.
The bad news is that before SP I ballooned up to 162 and stayed there . . . .
The good news is that it's come off slow, but now I'm at 143, doing good.
The bad news is I thought I would never be slim again . . . .
The good news is I know it's not only possible, it's happening!!
No matter what weight you are at, what stage of recovery or motivation, it is always possible to get better. It doesn't matter if you do it slow or fast, suit it to your own personality and how much you are motivated -- if you want it, it can most definitely happen!
Here we are at the beginning of our hike. It's a beautiful day out, starting temperature is around 60 degrees! This particular hike was Northeast of Phoenix, in a location called Sears/Kay.
One lone tree, not even very pretty; but it's part of the natural scenery, and somehow it struck me as picturesque!
Every now and then you have to climb around to get a better shot . . . and hope you do not lose your footing and go over the edge . . .
Spectacular scenery, makes you feel like you are really living healthy! Those are the Superstition Mountains in the background. LOTS of fresh air, right?
My dog, Amber, went along this time --- and she's wondering "Hmmm, what animal does this smell like?"
They call this rock "the Soldier."
Pretty big to be just kind of balanced there, don't you think?
This is called the "Soldier's Boot" -- I don't make this stuff up, I'm just passing the info along to you.
One of the "rooms" in the Indian Ruins. This is what I'd call 'roughing it.'
Somehow scenery like this always makes me feel very insignificant.
Pretty awesome scenery!
Anyone looking for peace and quiet? See that tiny ranch down there -- that's what I'd call "isolation." Makes me feel like I'm a "city girl."
OK, time for lunch -- you buy!!!

WASHINGTON - The United States is lagging behind nearly every other high-income country in reducing annual traffic fatalities, said a report released Tuesday by a federal research panel.
There's some good news: U.S. traffic fatalities fell 9.7 percent in 2009 to 33,808, the lowest number since 1950. In 2008, an estimated 37,423 people died on the highways, a decline of 9.3 percent from the previous year.
But dramatic declines in traffic fatalities in the U.S. over the last several years are likely due to a sour economy in which people drive less, rather than lasting changes in behavior, the report suggests. As the economy improves, researchers said, fatalities are likely to rebound.
"The experience of the past three years is not grounds for concluding that sustainable progress has been made on traffic safety," the report said.
In the 1970s, the U.S. fatality rate was the lowest in the world. But because safety efforts have improved more slowly in the United States than elsewhere, most high-income countries have now matched or gone below the U.S. rate, said the report by the Transportation Research Board.
Countries with comparable living standards where fatality rates per mile of travel were substantially higher than in the United States 15 years ago are now below the U.S. rate, including Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, Finland, Norway, France and the United Kingdom.
"The United States can no longer claim to rank highly in road safety by world standards," the report said.
From 1995 to 2009, fatalities dropped 52 percent in France, 38 percent in the United Kingdom, 25 percent in Australia, and 50 percent in 15 high-income countries for which long-term fatality and traffic data are available, the report said. But they dropped only 19 percent in the U.S.
The dramatic declines in fatalities in other nations have been achieved in part through the kinds of programs that have sometimes generated opposition in the U.S: speed cameras and speed measuring devices, sobriety checkpoints and mandatory motorcycle helmets, for example.
If such programs were widely adopted in the U.S., it's probable that thousands of lives could be saved each year, the report said.
Researchers estimated that nationwide, sustained and frequent use of checkpoints to detect drunk drivers could save 1,500 to 3,000 lives annually. Systematic speed control programs applied nationwide could save another 1,000 to 2,000 lives, the report said.
If every state required all motorcyclists wear helmets, about 450 deaths a year could be avoided, the report said. Increasing the rate of seat belt use just 5 percent _ from the present 85 percent to 90 percent - would save about 1,200 lives.
"Where is the public outcry against these preventable deaths?" said National Transportation Safety Board Chairman Deborah Hersman.
"Americans should strive for zero fatalities on the road. We should be leading, rather than following the international community when it comes to roadway design and safety measures," Hersman said. "But it is a sad fact that the U.S. is in their rear view mirror and falling further behind the rest of the world when it comes to highway safety."
Clinton Oster, an environment and public policy professor at the University of Indiana-Bloomington and chairman of the committee that wrote the report, said there was no "silver bullet" program that stood out.
Rather, transportation safety authorities in other countries that have been successful at reducing fatalities by taking a different overall approach, with an emphasis on demonstrating and documenting programs that work and then aggressively making their case for those programs with political leaders and the public, he said.
"I think we need to be much more systematic in developing clear goals, measuring results and making that information public," Oster said. Other countries "work very hard to demonstrate these techniques actually do save lives."
US Lags In Reducing Auto Fatalities
Dramatic declines in traffic fatalities in the U.S. over the last several years are likely due to a sour economy.
WASHINGTON - The United States is lagging behind nearly every other high-income country in reducing annual traffic fatalities, said a report released Tuesday by a federal research panel.

Sneaky Sylvia, Another Non-UFO, Astrology Test?, Anti-MEG Test, Exeter Exiting?, Michael Wins in Denmark, The Saints Come Stumbling In, and Astrology Defined....
Reader Justin Smith looked for the source of Sylvia Browne's year-2000 predictions that I'd posted here for readers' comments. He reports that they used to be posted by Sylvia, at http://www.sylvia.org/home/predictions.cfm, but they've suddenly been removed! He wondered why...
But, says this tireless researcher,
What is cool, is that there is a "Wayback Machine," a big archive of webpage content of the past at http://web.archive.org/collections/web.html, so I entered in www.sylvia.org, and checked on the most recent Jan 23 2002 entry and navigated my way to: http://web.archive.org/web/20020124115018/www.sylvia.org/home/predictions.cfm. Oh look, there are her predictions for the year 2000!
You'd think Sylvia would have known....!
Readers' decisions on the accuracy of Ms. Browne's predictions for 2000 have been highly varied, from zero on up....
I was sent this photo by a puzzled reader who felt that he'd probably unknowingly captured the image of a UFO while snapping a spectacular display of lightning during one of Florida's frequent storms. You see that artifact here, very near the top and slightly to the right, the entire frame being shown.
Now, we've handled this sort of matter before on this web site, notably at www.randi.org/jr/04-04-2000.html Yes, this is another simple lens flare, seen in close-up in the second illustration. These are often interpreted as UFOs by the unwary. In the third illustration, "C" marks the center of the optical field, and you will see that the faint circles registered on the film (#s 1 and 2 are between the marks indicated, #3 is delineated by green dots) are centered on that spot. The "UFO" shape is an internal lens reflection (flare) caused by the strong street-light in the frame. Circles 1, 2, and 3, are similar internal reflections. No mystery at all.
The lightning display that was the original target of the photographer, is seen at the lower right. Now, that's something worth pursuing! Nature at work.....
Reader Phil Karn, examining the outstanding in-depth analysis made by Shawn Bishop and offered at http://www.sfu.ca/~sbishopa/soapbox/soapbox_june_02.htm, concludes that the "MEG" device for which the US Patent Office granted a patent to "inventor" Tom Bearden, and which we discussed at length here in recent months, can be summed up for us thus:
So what we really have here is nothing more than an ordinary transformer. In the pictures you see, it's taking power from an external power supply, stepping it up in voltage, and driving a fluorescent lamp all at an efficiency of less than 100%. The only reason Naudin thought otherwise was because he made a sloppy measurement mistake. And judging from his evasive replies to your questions, it's obvious that he has NOT been able to drive the device's input from its output without having to use the external power supply. That's the acid test that no free energy machine has ever been able to meet.
Concerning the actual source of error in the validating tests, which he points out succinctly, Phil says:
This is about as close to a smoking gun as you're ever likely to find in the world of free energy cranks. I can't wait to see their explanation for this one. Wanna bet they'll blame it on those pesky Drude Electrons interacting with the quantum electro-dynamical flux from the space-time vacuum energy continuum...?
Yes, that would seem to be about what we might expect. But when Naudin, Bearden, and the rest tried this and it didn't work, didn't that bring a clear message through to them? Perhaps the message was that if they could get (a) a patent, and (b) an endorsement from a "scientist," they could sell stock.....?
We're waiting for Naudin or Bearden to write and tell us that they now recognize that the MEG doesn't work. Tune up another bunch of those hard-working crickets.....
After pointing out how he, as a responsible researcher, checks and re-checks his equipment and operational procedures before coming to a conclusion and making any official report, Shawn Bishop commented to Phil:
. . . . as a professional scientist, it is an insult to me to have people like Bearden and Naudin thwart the scientific method, scientific responsibility and scientific honesty by promoting this fakery of physics in the face of such glaringly gross experimental errors. As a global citizen, aware of the growing need to find alternative energy sources for our growing economies and populations, and the threat we all face from global climate change and environmental degradation as a result of our traditional energy sources, that these scam artists would try to defraud the public and investors with such nonsense and scientific fakeries leaves me feeling nothing short of contempt for Naudin and Bearden.
Randi comments: But you know, one assumed quality of scientists that they will reverse themselves upon recognizing an error is very often most often lacking. In my experience, a scientist will prefer to just hope that a bad notion, decision, statement, conclusion, or theory, will just go away quietly. John Taylor, in the UK, I think quite clearly recognized in the '80s that a spoon-bender and numerous juvenile imitators had hornswoggled him back in the '70s. Yet in his book, "Science and the Supernatural" (Dutton, 1980), he tried to extricate himself from earlier firm declarations of conviction and wonder, and he almost managed to say that he had been deceived, though not quite. That's exceptional. In my opinion, Dr. Gary Schwartz, of the University of Arizona, just might realize someday, not only that he was deceived by clever performers, but that he himself fell into his errors carelessly, willingly, and eagerly. Such scientists never reverse themselves. I include Ted Bastin, John Hasted, and many others in this naive assembly. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, though not technically a scientist per se, shines in this group.
While on the subject of Schwartz, I'd like to offer this analogy of what that scientist thinks science is all about. Schwartz never tires of telling us how well-educated he is (Harvard, no less!) but that doesn't say anything about how smart he is. As Richard Wiseman points out in the current Skeptical Inquirer (Nov/Dec 2002), Schwartz admits (as if he had any choice!) that there were sources of sensory leakage in his tests of John Edward (see http://www.randi.org/jr/03-23-2001.html) yet he is still convinced that Edward is the "real thing." The basic question here, is why Schwartz allowed the possibility of sensory leakage and judging artifacts to be there at all? The principle of isolation of the subject and the "medium" is rather simple, not expensive nor difficult to implement, and simply must be an element in such experiments!
My analogy: suppose that Schwartz were not only an experienced sailor, but a shipwright one who designs and builds boats. He invites us to the beach, where we see that a fine-looking boat of his design and construction is about to be launched for the first time. We and the media are assured that Schwartz obtained his training in his specialty at a leading school where such matters are taught. We're appropriately impressed. We admire the appearance, the paint job, and the general "cut of his jib." The boat looks just fine.
Schwartz invites folks aboard. The launch takes place, and the craft sails smoothly out into the water. We cheer in appreciation. The media people snap photos, then they quickly depart to report this happy news: that Captain Gary Schwartz has designed, built, and successfully launched his boat. The captain is exuberant, smiling, and satisfied.
But then the boat is seen to be listing to one side. The passengers begin leaping off and swimming to shore as a definite settling in the water becomes evident. The boat, it turns out, is not seaworthy. It settles to the bottom. Captain Schwartz admits that there were some leaky spots that he didn't quite seal up, but the basic design, he says, is sound, and very soon he'll build another that will be properly sealed. He points out the fine appearance of the boat, but offers no reasons why he didn't have it water-tight before launching it. However, it's evident that he's ahead, because a few hours later the newspapers who weren't informed of the leaks and subsequent sinking run photos and glowing accounts of the launching. Captain Schwartz receives further support, even from his disappointed colleagues because he's very well educated, and he's confident that when he gets around to sealing those leaks, the next boat will be just fine.
This simple soul asks, "WHY WAS THE FIRST BOAT, WITH ITS KNOWN FLAWS, BUILT AND LAUNCHED? SURELY HOLES IN A BOAT SHOULD BE PATCHED BEFORE LAUNCHING?" To the uncharitable, it might appear as if Captain Schwartz was in a rush and only wanted the media coverage he got.... And yes, it would appear that the captain should admit his poor construction without urging, but if no one makes a fuss or if no one cares he'll continue as a captain and he'll still think he can build boats....
Even I, with my inferior education, know that a leaky boat is a useless boat.
Now, Bearden and Naudin are hardly "scientists," and are certainly not of the quality and talent as those real scientists mentioned here. No one is waiting for them to make a reversal, or to withdraw their claims, or much cares. It would be nice, and an honorable thing to do, but if real scientists don't do it, why should they....?
The real problem here is the dupes who will be taken in, and may invest their money and their emotional security in the scam.
Reader Nels Lindquist suggests that Uri Geller may soon be offered a job in Croatia! That country's top football team, Dinamo Zagreb, has said through their coach, Miroslav Blazevic, that they need someone to become part of the team and be its spiritual guide. "This club is full of demons and they must be chased away," he told a newspaper reporter. The Zagreb Archbishopric, the Kaptol, has announced that on behalf of the team, they're "looking for a suitable person for this demanding job, someone who would have some knowledge of other religions as well, because of the non-Catholic players in Dinamo." Now, there might be some conflict here, because Geller (formerly a paid Reading booster) is now firmly on the side of the UK Exeter Club. In fact, he manages them, but his lack of success (see ahead) might have him looking for yet another club upon which he can bestow his blessing. Dinamo will next be playing English side Fulham in the second round of the UEFA Cup, so Mr. Geller wouldn't have far to go. Well, though Exeter isn't doing very well, and Reading fired Geller long ago, we know that football fans are very forgiving. Not.
The present status of Exeter? Desperate! They're now third from the bottom of League Division 3, and bottom of the 3rd is the pits. If they don't haul themselves at least one place higher, John Atkinson tells me, they'll drop out of the League altogether and be replaced by another team. Next week they play Darlington, and if they don't win, things will look really black for them. Has Geller run out of crystals or something, or won't they let him dig up the pitch? You see, Geller says that to help certain teams win, he'd secretly snuck out onto the field and buried crystals there. It didn't work, but it still seems like cheating, to me.
Geller's team presently has won 3, drawn 3, and lost 8. Stay tuned, as we follow the career of this great psychic in the role of professional football manager/advisor/guru/spell-caster!
I came upon this hilarious cartoon of Mr. Geller from February, 1995, in an ad for an appearance with Sir David Frost on a UK TV show, "Beyond Belief!" Frost, as usual, was goggle-eyed, ooohing and aaahing at bending spoons and other Geller specialties; he's always been an easy mark.
But the photo that really takes the prize and carries a message, is this one from USA TODAY. How Geller could allow such a silly picture to be set up, shot, and published, is hard to understand. But the article itself quotes Geller saying that he is now "over materialism" and wants to sell his pillared UK mansion and live in a French-made solar-powered wooden hut that looks like a space-ship. That scenario may give us a more accurate view of how serious the article really is.
Still on the subject of the spoon-bender, reader Les Waas writes to tell me:
We [Randi and I] met years ago as guests on To Tell the Truth. I am president of the Procrastinators Club of America, and you are, I understand, a member, although you are a bit too active for our tastes. (We might expel you one of these days). . . . Once when (your friend) Uri Geller appeared on the Mike Douglas Show (when I was also a guest) he offered to get non-functioning timepieces working again. Viewers needed simply to place their watches and clocks in front of their TV screens, and presto!, he'd get them going. After the show, one of the cameramen, a friend, asked if I believed that stuff. I gave him reasons why I didn't, but his argument was much simpler: "Today's show was taped," he said. "Geller was fixing watches and clocks that wouldn't be placed in front of TV screens for another 5 weeks!"
Just what I've pointed out for years now. Such obvious facts don't seem to deter the true believers, however. Scores of TV shows with Geller were taped well in advance, and many were repeated via tape. But the True Believers, undaunted, explain away what would appear to us to be a major problem. You see, they say, these wondrous powers work regardless of separation in time and space. Is it clear now?
Reader Michael I. S�lvstad, from Denmark, informs us:
But what I really wanted to tell you about, is what happened today on live TV. There's a Danish talk show called "Line's," very much like "Oprah," with a rather respected host. But she's turned a bit to "the dark side" lately. Anyway, today's topic was about the explosion of supernatural thinking. She of course had some "Sylvia" clones there, a medical doctor who could read minds, and a few celebrities, and of course only one sceptic. (The Randi clone!)
Well, I'm very familiar with Michael's work, and I know he's been involved in this field for many, many years now. I think it's time that I visited Denmark again for a series of lectures, and long chats with Michael....
And I must report that, strangely, the Danish doctor that can read minds hasn't applied for our million-dollar prize. My visit to Denmark would be an ideal opportunity, don't you think?
Reader Ben Hutchings sends us this cartoon for our use and amusement....
Reader Brian Rush sends us this article from the New York Post:
As Brian points out, the husband is designed as, "Vatican-bashing." How about, "truthful," or "honest." No, that would be far too factual....
TIME Magazine had more details on the matter:
Monica's medical records contain sonograms, prescriptions and physicians' notes that could conceivably help prove whether science or the icon worked the cure. But the records are missing. Monica says Sister Betta of the Missionaries of Charity took them away two years ago. "It's all with her," says Monica. A call to Sister Betta, who has been reassigned to another post of the Charity, produced a "no comment." Balurghat Hospital officials say the Catholic order has been pressuring them to say that Monica's cure was miraculous. Calls to the office of Sister Nirmala, Mother Teresa's successor as head of the order, produced no comment as well.
Just how much of this "saint" nonsense do we have to have derailed, before the train comes to a halt? Bernadette's face is made of wax, Padre Pio the Masochist is elevated, the proposed Mexican saint, peasant Juan Diego, now looks like a total fiction, and various moldering corpses within the Vatican itself are proving the lie, every day. But mythology, promoted by an organization that must have a constant input of the pennies of the poor, needs more and more saints.....
I was visiting recently with a rare book collector, and in his collection of references, old and new, I found a number of definitions of the subject, "astrology." It's interesting to see how the opinions on this nonsense have changed over the years....
Judiciary, or Judicial Astrology, which is what we commonly call Astrology, is that which pretends to foretell moral Events; i.e. such as have a Dependance on the Will and Agency of Man; as if that were directed by the Stars. . . . The same Superstition has prevailed in more modern Ages and Nations.
Note in these definitions the use of the words: assumes, contempt, dead and buried, error, exploded, pretends, pseudoscience, ridicule, so-called, superstition, supposedly, and unscientific, in describing the subject.....
In all declarations on the subject by advocates we find the firm convictions that (a) the Earth is at the center of the universe, and that (b) our species, Homo sapiens, is the center of all attention, purpose, natural forces, and existence. There's an old philosophical question, "If a tree falls in the forest, and there's no one there to hear it, does it make a sound?" This question would never arise if there were not a strong feeling that we humans are, to borrow from Shakespeare's Macbeth, the "be-all and the end-all" and then some.
In Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's quite silly-yet-serious book "The Coming of the Fairies" (1920) he expressed this homocentric notion clearly. Referring to the fairies who he believed lived in the woods, he wrote:
These creatures are in any case remote from us, and their existence is of little more real importance than that of strange animals or plants. At the same time, the perennial mystery why so many "flowers are born to blush unseen," and why Nature should be so lavish with gifts which human beings cannot use, would be solved if we understood that there were other orders of being which used the same earth and shared its blessings. It is at the lowest an interesting speculation which gives an added charm to the silence of the woods and the wilderness of the moorland.
To Sir Arthur, it was a genuine puzzle why flowers would bloom if they were not to be seen by humans, and he was quite serious about his suggestion, above. I'm sure that his answer to the falling-tree-in-the-forest question would have been a confident, no. Unless, of course, some of the wee folk chanced to be flitting nearby.
This bizarre homocentric idea has brought about much grief, misunderstanding, prejudice, and misinformation. Astrology is just one product of the idea, one that should have been laughed out of existence long ago, but hangs around like an unwanted visitor whose back we dearly want to see as he becomes smaller on the horizon....
Reader Cameron Raecke writes:
I found an amusing site recently that claims to be able to guess one's gender by asking personality-related questions. A friend and I both took the test, and it did indeed accurately predict our respective sexes.
Just a note: it sounds as if Cameron and friend had not yet been assigned genders! I think he meant to write "ascertain" rather than "predict"?
The interesting thing about this site was that each time a person takes a test, those data are entered into the program's sex-prediction algorithm, the idea being that it becomes more accurate as more people take the test. It really doesn't surprise me that it's possible to know someone's sex by personality-related information, though to what extent the differences between the sexes are biological and to what extent they are due to purely social influences, is of course not addressed.
Here it gets interesting. Cameron suggests....
What if you were to take the same idea and apply it to date of birth? It shouldn't be very difficult to make a web page that had questions from a standard psychological personality test, and would record people's responses, trying to guess their astrological sign based upon a statistical analysis of all previous responses. You, I, and the majority of your readers would of course expect this site to forever have only a probability of 1/12 of being right. A person who believes in astrology would expect the site to become more accurate in its predictions over time.
Then Cameron spots the fact that "salting" the results would likely be possible.
Of course, the drawback to all of this is that it really wouldn't prove anything in either case. If it were being run on a web page open to the public, it would be an uncontrolled and therefore unscientific environment. Even so, it seems like an interesting idea to me.
He then provides several ways to thwart such efforts. Yes, I agree that this would seem an interesting way to establish a few aspects about belief in such modalities!
An added note.... We'll be hosting "The Amazing Meeting" here in lovely Fort Lauderdale, January 31, 2003, thru February 2nd. Registration can be made on our web page, www.randi.org. It promises to be a lot of fun, and will feature really exciting speakers and performers. Go to the web page and look it up! Hope to see you next year!

With House of Kooser There's Always a Room at the Inn
Posted on October 18, 2014 By Joseph
New York is a helluva town and sometimes a tough place to find a room at the inn. Not if Greg Kooser has something to say about it. Greg is the managing partner of House of Kooser which represents 28 boutique-style hotels worldwide. Over the years we've stayed at a number of their properties – Hotel on Rivington in New York's Lower Eastside, Roger Smith Hotel in midtown Manhattan, Magic Castle Hotel Hollywood and Hotel Zetta in San Francisco. During my last stay in New York I met up with him in the swank lobby of the Hotel on Rivington and tapped him as my guest for my latest podcast.
