Has anyone considered that the patients who have had improvement from this procedure may actually have been MISDIAGNOSED with MS in the first place?

Why on earth would the government or any neuros want to admit that here is any thing positive about the Liberation treatment when that could affect the bottom line of Big Pharma who is the cash cow of these folks. I mean just think about it in view of this: Thirty years ago, Henry Gadsden, the head of Merck, one of the world's largest drug companies, told Fortune magazine he wanted Merck to be more like gum maker Wrigley's. It had long been his dream, he said, to make drugs for healthy people - so that Merck could "sell to everyone." Gadsden's dream now drives the marketing machinery of the most profitable industry on earth. Selling Sickness reveals how widening boundaries of illness & lowering the threshold for treatments is creating millions of new patients and billions in new profits, in turn threatening to bankrupt health-care systems all over the world. As more and more of ordinary life becomes medicalized, the industry moves ever closer to Gadsden's dream: "selling to everyone"

Liberation therapy does work. I've personnally witnessed it. The hospitals and pharmaceutical companies (who are financially interlinked by various deals, sponsorships, and donations) have been bucking this therapy from day one for one simple reason: they need customers and liberation therapy makes their customers go away.

This so-called study by Pryse-Phillips which was only 30 people of which he studied only 25% of that number making it approx. 7 people, which means to me that it is impossible to get true results with such a small number of subjects, HOW PHONY. I know two people personally that have had this procedure and both have eliminated their canes and walkers, for over a year now. Also, keep in mind that approx. 20,000 procedures have now been performed around the world with what i understand to be about a 73 to 85% success rate. Seems to me that only the big pharmas and many neuroligist are really fighting this basic simple procedure which is merely Angioplasty which has been done for 30 years.

"...The study done by Pryse-Phillips did find there were subjective psychological and physical benefits, but he described those as "meagre" compared to the costs and the risks..." In dismissing these benefits he sounds more like a spin doctor than a medical doctor. I'm sure the drug companies were very pleased with his MEAGRE findings. Another poster referred to her mother's experience in NY: Surely MS patients have the right to know if they have narrowing or blockage before they travel. A doppler ultrasound???

The people in charge of a bankrupt, unwieldy health care system find that an additional treatment, one that would put even more burden on an already-bankrupt sityation, is clinically ineffective. Sure, that sounds like a perfectly transparent and objective conclusion.

Jack: What an asinine comment. Firstly, there are no pharmaceuticals involved in this procedure, other than the anaesthetic needed to perform the procedure. Why on earth would they try to skew the results? It would be a heckuva lot cheaper to be able to fix MS with 'liberation' therapy than it costs to try to help by other means. What the heck does a psychologist know about motor skill development? Psychology involves behaviour. How on earth could an occupational therapist have the expertise in motor skill development? Neither of those disciplines are medical specialists. Methinks you're talking through your hat - certainly not from any knowledge. Maybe you could support your comment with evidence-based facts.
- Jack

BC Deans, Psychologists don't use specialize in behavioural studies, they also specialize in cognitive ability and motor skill analysis, both related to Multiple Sclerosis. In addition, since Occupational Therapy involves maintaining daily living and working skills, Occupational Therapists are better trained and equipped to analyze and correct motor skill and independent living skill deficits associated with Multiple Sclerosis that a Neurosurgeon. That's why Psychologist(s) and/or Occupational Therapist(s) should study the benefits of the Zamboni or liberation therapy method than a Neurosurgeon. Therefore, I'm not the one that asinine.
- Jack
- June 08, 2012 - 08:09
Because MS patients receiving the liberation or Zamboni treatments have reported substantial improvements, including one sufferer regaining his/her ability to walk, I'm starting to believe that this study was flawed and rigged, and MS Sufferers wanting a better life in Newfoundland and Labrador will pay the price for Sullivan and Pryse-Phillips' incompetence. Due to these flawed and rigged studies, the Newfoundland and Labrador Government should do it over again, but with strings attached. These strings include believing the patients more than doctors, use a Psychologist or Occupational Therapist to conduct this study as they have more expertise in motor skill development than a Neurologist, and no pharmaceutical industry interference.

my mother has classic, text book MS since her early twenties. she went to NY last year for this liberation procedure expecting it to cure her. what they found was nothing. no narrowed veins, no anything to suggest this has anything to do with the cause of MS. she is bitterly disappointed because she thought this was the answer. it was not, and is not for so many others. this procedure is not the miracle cure people are trying to make it out to be. MS mimics so many other illnesses- for those that liberation has worked for - you have to wonder if the diagnosis of MS in the first place was even correct.

RL, like any surgical procedure, liberation therapy is not always going to work. Take for example, Al Waxman, famous Canadian actor and comedian well known for "King of Kensington". He underwent Heart Surgery, but immediate died from it. Lessons learned from the Al Waxman case is that surgical procedures are always going to have failure rates despite advances in Medicine.

A slower week in terms of first run releases with a second tier summer release topping that particular list. However, there are a few other releases that are more interesting, including the direct-to-DVD release, Tinker Bell, which is worth picking up on either DVD or Blu-ray, but the latter is better than the former. While that release is the DVD Pick of the Week, two non-DVD releases are worth mentioning above the fold: The Mental Floss History of the World - Buy from Amazon and The Best Of Bond... James Bond - Buy from Amazon. It goes without saying that it was another busy week in terms of total DVDs on this week's list, so much so that it had to be split into two. The second part of the list can be found here.
Only a handful of sites this week that rise just to the level of being average. And only one site, The Forbidden Kingdom - Official Site, that even comes close to being award worthy. Fortunately, it is clearly at that level and it has everything one could need including plenty of information, sound & animation, and even a game.
There are plenty of limited releases this week, but none are earning amazing reviews. In fact, most are earning below 50% positive. Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden should be the biggest hit of the weekend, at least in terms of raw dollars, but I not even prepared to guess which one could be the big hit on the per theater chart.
This week another number of upcoming movies, new stars and directors have been added to our archive!
This week's round of new movie release information contains release dates for Valkyrie, The Wolf Man, Public Enemies and more!

You're ready. The future is here, and you want to take your first baby steps into space. You know it's dangerous. Maybe our guide can help you make it a little further.
Use the Tutorial
FTL proper doesn't have a tutorial, so make sure you check out the tutorial mode from the front menu. Whether you're a veteran of FTL's PC version or new to the series entirely, this is important. Familiarizing yourself with the controls is key to making the game playable, and they aren't going to make themselves as apparent as many other modern games.
You'll Die Often
FTL is brutally difficult. Death isn't just an inevitability, it's commonplace. There have been times where I'd be cruising along, feeling like a boss in my sweet spaceship, only to have an enemy ship end my streak almost immediately, leaving me limping to the next destination (if even limping).
Every death, however, is a learning experience. Each time you venture out into space, you'll learn something. Maybe you'll find out that, in fact, an all-laser weapon loadout doesn't work as well as you thought with just level 1 Heavy Lasers. Maybe you'll encounter space spiders for the fourth time and realize that going onto the ship is a bad idea.
Keep your eyes open and observe. Fight to survive, but don't get angry when you die. Except against the end boss, because that guy's a huge butthead.
Don't Be Afraid of Easy
Listen, it's okay to play on Easy. Normal in FTL is "Very Hard" in other games. You can work your way up to Normal by mastering the game on Easy if you like, but it's much easier to make it to the next event and experience something new. If you stick to normal, you may never even meet the Rebel Flagship.
Watch Your Power
Much of FTL is automated – there's a difference between skill and tedium – but not everything can run on its own. This is my personal recommendation. When things get hairy, keep an eye on your power distribution. If your oxygen system is hit and damaged, it'll lose power. Even when you get it fixed, it's possible that it won't power up automatically, and your crew will suffocate in minutes.
I'm not saying this ever happened to me or anything. I just want to save you the pain.
Try Different Strategies
Even if you think you've found the perfect strategy for FTL, there are so many different ships, ship layouts, and tools that trying out different strategies is both a necessity and a pleasure. There are missile weapons, beam weapons, lasers, bombs, drones, boarding, and with the Advanced Edition content, hacking and mind control. There might even be some things I'm missing!
FTL is a random experience for the most part, and just about the only thing you have control over is which ship layout you choose. After that, it's a roll of the dice what you'll end up with. Roll with the dice instead of against them. If you end up with a bunch of drones early on, pick up a drone controller and see how it works. It might not be to your taste, but then you might also find that you enjoy the mechanic.
Missiles ignore shields, but they're limited supply. Having a series of rapid-firing lasers can be enough to get through the shields if you have enough of them.
Another reason to try different strategies is to approach the different scenarios that play out as you make your way through the game. Different types of weapons, systems, and crew members can give you sharp advantages in some situations that present you with an extra option in choice-based situations. Always take that option when it becomes available, and try different loadouts to see what options you get.
You'll Die Often
I've given you a guide to get started, but we've only just scratched the surface of what FTL has to offer. Get in there and charge headlong into the emptiness of space. There's tons to explore and tons to find. Good luck, captain.

0Feb 22, '12 by blackbird singingQuote from amandy45I wish I could go! I work all that weekend, so I can't. I went to the one in Fall 2010, though, and it was very informative. Where are you flying in from?Is anyone who was admitted planning on attending the bi-annual open house on March 3rd? I am planning to attend, and I'm trying to figure out flights. If anyone else is going I would love to talk and try to meet up on the day. Also, any tips on flights, etc. would be helpful!
0Feb 22, '12 by dedicatedonehey everyone! New to the thread. Had no clue there was one going on over in this section. I was admitted today for FNP! I will definitely catch up on reading this thread as I have a ton of questions about this program.
0Feb 22, '12 by ch0c0latefiendHi All!! Congrats to those who got into their program of choice at Vandy!!! I got my FNP acceptance letter today as well. I'm so excited b/c Vandy is my first choice. We all worked so hard to get here and I'm glad it is working out for us all. I will be coming out from California. @KN4321 and @dedicatedone, where will you guys be coming from? Are you set on Vandy as well?
0Feb 22, '12 by amandy45@blackbird singing: I am flying in from southern California. I really want to go, but tickets are so expensive! I think I'm just going to go ahead and do it though, because I think it is incredibly important to see the school and experience everything in person
@KN4321: CONGRATS on being accepted! That is so exciting! Like I said above, I am from California! Tennessee is quite a change for me, but I couldn't be more excited. Where are you from? -
0Feb 22, '12 by ch0c0latefiend@amandy45: congrats on getting into Vandy!!! I'm from So Cal as well. I think Tennessee will be a nice change of pace from what we're used to. It'll certainly be an adventure =)
0Feb 22, '12 by dedicatedoneI'm also coming from Southern California but I can't make it out to the Open House as I am going to COlumbia's Visitors Day on March 2nd Bummed out these are on the same weekend - do you know if there are other open houses to attend? Are they once per month???
0Feb 22, '12 by amandy45@ch0c0latefiend: Thank you so much! Congrats to you as well!! I think Tennessee is going to be a great change from what we are used to. Are you going to the open house on March 2nd?
@dedicatedone: Congratulations on getting into Columbia as well!! That is so wonderful! Do you have a first choice? The open houses are bi-annually, so the next one will be after we already start our first semester...Enjoy Columbia to the fullest, and I will fill you in on all of the great information from Vandy once we return from visit days! Deal? haha -
0Feb 22, '12 by SeattleiteThanks, amandy45! And at least our email says we can contact Cheryl Feldner to set up a visit at another time. I really want to get over there and look around!Last edit by Seattleite on Feb 22, '12 : Reason: question answered
0Feb 22, '12 by dedicatedone@amandy45 - Thank you!!! No first choice as of yet - just waiting to see how things shake out and see how i can begin to finance such expensive programs as I am sure everyone is in the same boat. I would love it if you could please fill me in with all the details about the program. I am definitely considering Vandy at this time and any information would be amazing. I may try to see if I can fly out the weekend after and schedule an appointment with the SON while I am looking to make a decision. Columbia's deadline to accept is March 15th. UCSF won't even have an answer to us by then I don't think.
How many out there are torn with other programs? How are you dealing with making such a life altering decision?

Dermatologists Turn Focus to Ethnic Skin Conditions
Posted: November 27, 2006
page 2 of 5
The nation's changing demographics drive the movement, said Dr. Rebat Halder, chairman of the Dermatology Department at Howard University Hospital.
"By midcentury, half the U.S. population will be of pigmented skins," Dr. Halder said. He edited the first comprehensive textbook on the dermatology of ethnic skin, which was published this year. Dermatology conferences are adding more ethnic skin sessions to their agendas, he said.
A growing number of blacks, Hispanics and Asians are entering dermatology, which also fuels the trend, said Dr. Victoria Holloway Barbosa, director of the six-year-old L'Oreal Institute for Ethnic Hair and Skin Research in Chicago.
"It's long overdue," Dr. Barbosa said of the attention.
L'Oreal, the cosmetic company, sponsors an ethnic-skin research symposium with Howard University every other year, and funds its own research.

The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State

Theoretical works
The Origin of the Family, Private Property, and the State: in the light of the researches of Lewis H. Morgan (Der Ursprung der Familie, des Privateigenthums und des Staats) is a historical materialist treatise written by Friedrich Engels and published in 1884. It is partially based on notes by Karl Marx to Lewis H. Morgan's book Ancient Society. The book is an early anthropoligical work, and one of the first major works on family economics. The book gave ideological justification for feminism within the Soviet Union, the People's Republic of China, and other socialist states.[citation needed]
Development of human society and the family[edit]
This book argues that the first domestic institution in human history was not the family but the matrilineal clan. Engels here follows Lewis H. Morgan's thesis as outlined in his major book, Ancient Society. Morgan was an American business lawyer who championed the land rights of Native Americans and became adopted as an honorary member of the Seneca Iroquois tribe. Traditionally, the Iroquois had lived in communal longhouses based on matrilineal descent and matrilocal residence, an arrangement giving women much solidarity and power.
When nonhuman primate society and earliest human society, identifying sexual competition and the "jealousy of the male" as the vital issue that needed to be overcome to allow the emergence of the oldest form of family involving "group marriage". Primitive communism was based in the matrilineal clan where women lived with their classificatory sisters – applying the principle that "my sister's child is my child". This kinship solidarity empowered women to take action against uncooperative males. Engels identified the "world historic defeat of the female sex" – the switch from what he called "mother-right" to "father-right" – with the onset of farming and pastoralism. This shift from matrilocality to patrilocality manifested itself in men's increased control in the home. Engels wrote: "The man took command in the home also."[1]
The book begins with an extensive discussion of Ancient Society which describes the major stages of human development as commonly understood in Engels' time. In contrast to other contemporary essays on the subject, Engels emphasizes the importance not of primitive psychological development but rather of social relations of power and control over material resources, sometimes related to the development of new technologies. Morgan, whose account of prehistory Engels largely accepts as given, focuses primarily on the first two stages of Savagery and Barbarism but only ventures as far as the transition into Civilization. The terms Savagery and Barbarism as used by Morgan were meant to be objective and not terms of derision or disparagement as they might be assumed to be then or now. Engels summarizes these stages as follows:
- Savagery – the period in which man's appropriation of products in their natural state predominates; the products of human art are chiefly instruments which assist this appropriation.
- Barbarism – the period during which man learns to breed domestic animals and to practice agriculture, and acquires methods of increasing the supply of natural products by human activity.
- Civilization – the period in which man learns a more advanced application of work to the products of nature, the period of industry proper and of art.
In the following chapter on family, Engels tries to connect the transition into these stages with a change in the way that family is defined and the rules by which it is governed. Much of this is still taken from Morgan, although Engels begins to intersperse his own ideas on the role of family into the text. Morgan acknowledges four stages in the family.
The Consanguine Family[edit]
This is the first stage of the family and as such a primary indicator of our superior nature in comparison with animals. In this state marriage groups are separated according to generations. The husband and wife relationship is immediately and communally assumed between the male and female members of one generation. The only taboo is a sexual relationship between two generations (i.e. father and daughter, grandmother and grandson).
The Punaluan Family[edit]
The second stage extends the incest taboo to include sexual intercourse between siblings, including all cousins of the same generation. This prevents most incestuous relationships. The separation of the patriarchal and matriarchal lines divided a family into gentes. Interbreeding was forbidden within gens (anthropology), although first cousins from separate gentes could still breed.
The Pairing Family[edit]
The first indications of pairing are found in families where the husband has one primary wife. Inbreeding is practically eradicated by the prevention of a marriage between two family members who were even just remotely related, while relationships also start to approach monogamy. Property and economics begin to play a larger part in the family, as a pairing family had responsibility for the ownership of specific goods and property. Polygamy is still common amongst men, but no longer amongst women since their fidelity would ensure the child's legitimacy. Women have a superior role in the family as keepers of the household and guardians of legitimacy. The pairing family is the form characteristic of the lower stages of barbarism. However, at this point, when the man died his inheritance was still given to his gens, rather than to his offspring. Engels refers to this economic advantage for men coupled with the woman's lack of rights to lay claim to possessions for herself or her children (who became hers after a separation) as the overthrow of mother-right which was "the world historical defeat of the female sex". For Engels, ownership of property created the first significant division between men and women in which the woman was inferior.
The Monogamous Family[edit]
" | It develops from the pairing family, as we have already shown, during the time of transition from the middle to the higher stage of barbarism. Its final victory is one of the signs of beginning civilization. It is founded on male supremacy for the pronounced purpose of breeding children of indisputable paternal lineage. The latter is required, because these children shall later on inherit the fortune of their father. The monogamous family is distinguished from the pairing family by the far greater durability of wedlock, which can no longer be dissolved at the pleasure of either party. As a rule, it is only the man who can still dissolve it and cast off his wife. | " |
Family and property[edit]
Engels' ideas on the role of property in the creation of the modern family and as such modern civilization begin to become more transparent in the latter part of Chapter 2 as he begins to elaborate on the question of the monogamous relationship and the freedom to enter into (or refuse) such a relationship. Bourgeois law dictates the rules for relationships and inheritances. As such, two partners, even when their marriage is not arranged, will always have the preservation of inheritance in mind and as such will never be entirely free to choose their partner. Engels argues that a relationship based on property rights and forced monogamy will only lead to the proliferation of immorality and prostitution.
The only class, according to Engels, which is free from these restraints of property, and as a result from the danger of moral decay, is the proletariat, as they lack the monetary means that are the basis of (as well as threat to) the bourgeois marriage. Monogamy is therefore guaranteed by the fact that theirs is a voluntary sex-love relationship.
The social revolution which Engels believed was about to happen would eliminate class differences, and therefore also the need for prostitution and the enslavement of women. If men needed only to be concerned with sex-love and no longer with property and inheritance, then monogamy would come naturally.
Throughout most of the twentieth century, following the Russian Revolution, these ideas became associated with Bolshevism[citation needed] and deemed so inflammatory that, outside the Soviet Union, they were effectively suppressed[citation needed]. Modern evolutionary anthropology is currently reassessing that position.[2][3]

We currently use a clear plastic box for the cats, the dimensions are approx 6-3/8Hx16-1/4Wx23-1/2L
Like Sterilite or Rubbermaid, similar to this 32 qt one:
But one of my cats is big/long and occasionally misses. What I can't find is a box that is the same height, but longer and wider. I find them shallower or double the height. Am I just missing it somewhere? Thanks! |

Head to Home Depot blackcats and get one of their cement mixing tubs. If I remember right they are under five dollars, very sturdy. We have a Mainecoon cat that's rather big and all normal sized litter boxes were too small for her. I sure wish the cat industry would realize there's a need for larger litter boxes. I would really like a large one with the sifters in them. My Mollee refuses to use it. Good thing we have two litter boxes. I do believe I'll have to go back to both being the cement tubs though. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Pix of cement mixing tub

Oh thank you!!! That is a great idea! I'm going to get 2 tonight and set them up. |

This may be way overkill for you, but I'll share it anyway! I lived for many years with a male cat who was initially prone to bladder/kidney infections, and later, diabetic. He was very picky about the cleanliness of his litter box, and given his urinary disabilities, I went through a lot of trial and error. What worked best was the Rubbermaid under-the-bed storage box for rolls of wrapping paper -- huge, but it worked! Fortunately, my mud room had space for it! It was large enough that Smudge could always find clean spots and it absolutely solved both problems: his "Not clean enough here, so I'll just go somewhere else" one and his "Oops, missed the box" one. Despite his health issues, and the hexes my DH tried to put on him, Smudge lived to the ripe old age of 19! |
Let me offer a little advice, been there, done tthat, don't get one of those covered litter boxes with a "hood" over the top, they look like a plastic igloo. My cats (well, two out of three) refused to enter it, I took the lid thing off and threw it away. |

Education Policy Studies Minor
The School of Education's 18 credit hour undergraduate minor in Education Policy Studies is designed for students interested in education and education policy issues but not necessarily interested in pursuing teaching certification. The program melds together a set of social foundations of education courses and an engaged learning internship experience to provide students with a sophisticated understanding of the historical, cultural and social contexts of education both domestically and internationally,
Students who complete this minor will possess knowledge and skills that can help them work in the field of education in a variety of capacities, ranging from working in non-classroom educational settings such as in after-school programming, to directing programs and working on educational policy issues for non-profit organizations and international Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs).
Required Coursework
The undergraduate minor in Education Policy Studies is an 18 credit hour program with five required courses offered by the School of Education's Cultural and Educational Policy Studies program (one of which is a field-based internship course) plus an elective course in Teaching and Learning. The courses may be taken in any sequence; we only require that the ELPS 265 Cultural and Educational Policy Studies Internship be taken after a student has completed at least two other courses required for the minor.
Courses Include:
ELPS 302 - Philosophy of Education (SOE Rome Summer Session Option)
This course studies major philosophical theories about educational practice, especially as these relate to pedagogical practice, curriculum development, and the response of schools to particular individual, community, and societal interests.
ELPS 219 - American Education
This course examines the history, aims, organization, and control of public and private schools in the United States. Emphasis is placed on the historical examination of issues of diversity, inclusion and exclusion as they relate to education.
ELPS 230 - Globalization, Education and Childhood
This course examines contemporary global shifts and transformations in how schools and other educational settings are set up and operate. In tandem with this the course examines the experience of childhood and notions of what it means to be a child—both in terms of how this varies culturally, socioeconomically, and regionally, as well as how these experiences and conceptualizations are presently being transformed.
ELPS 240 - Urban Education: Policy and Practice
This course introduces students to some of the central policy questions currently afoot in American public education through consideration of one particular field of concern, Urban Education. The course explores the sociological dimensions of schooling, the important questions of how race, social class and ethnicity impact American education, and the relationship between resources and outcomes that are often at the heart of arguments about what schools should do and be.
ELPS 265 - Cultural and Educational Policy Studies Internship
The Internship in Cultural and Educational Policy Studies course is intended to help students integrate theoretical and research coursework with a practical field-based experience to reflect on their own development as professionals working in the field of education. The internship requires 120 work hours over the course of one semester, concurrent with registration in ELPS 265. Students are granted permission to enroll in ELPS 265 once they notify the minor program director that they have arranged an internship site. Support is available to identify possible internship sites, such as (but not limited to) advocacy organizations, school districts, university programs, organizations that partner with schools or universities, organizations that provide programming to extend schooling (such as after-school programs or college access programs), or university faculty-led research projects that involve education policy. (Accommodations can be made for students who would like to do their internship while studying abroad.)
Students are required to complete one course in the School of Education from the following list (or a substitution approved by the Program Director). Eligible electives include:
CIEP 206 - Children's Literature
CIEP 315 - Language Development and Literacy
CIEP 336 - Child Development and Implications for Education
CIEP 350 - Adolescent Literature
CIEP 360 - Interdisciplinary Workshop: Culture and Identity
(SOE Rome Summer Session Option)
TLSC Sequence 1 (4 semester hours):
TLSC 110* - The Profession and our Program (1 hr.)
TLSC 120* - Bringing Learning and Developmental Theory
into Practice (2 hrs.)
TLSC 130* - Community Immersion (1 hr.)
*This is a 12-week sequence of three consecutive, field-based, introductory teacher education course modules; registration in 110, 120 and 130 in the same semester is required for this sequence.

We are replacing the boiler in our house and need to rent the electrical approx. 40 L water heater to plug in. I will appreciate any suggestion on where we can rent it out.
Thank you |

Check some of your local rental places. I doubt you'll find anything on the list, there's not much of a call to rent a boiler. It wouldn't be cost effective to purchase one just to have it sit around for years but, it's worth a try. |

You're probably going to have to shower at the neighbors or rent a hotel room if you want hot water during the installation. The only portable type rental HW units that I've seen are sized for natural disaster type aid not individual homeowner use. |

The Waters of Mars, the latest episode of Doctor Who and the first of David Tennants last three episodes as the tenth Doctor, was an extremely satisfying, compelling and emotional episode.
There had been so much hype regarding Tennants final episodes, so that it seemed like nothing the Doctor Who production team could come up with would be good enough to live up to the hype. But so far, with The Waters of Mars, that was not the case.
The basic story of The Water of Mars is that The Doctor finds himself in 2059 on the first human base on Mars (Bowie Base One) but being a time traveler, he has knowledge about something very bad that will happen that very day.
The Doctor knows he has to keep this secret, leave and not get involved, since the events that take place that day are fixed and key to the future of the human race. But as the crew starts being infected by Martian water and being turned into what can only be described as water monsters, The Doctor finds himself being reluctantly drawn in, especially by the base's dynamic leader, Captain Adelaide Brooke.
One of the better things about The Waters of Mars is that as an audience member, we feel the same dilemma The Doctor does. We too feel the pain of having to watch Adelaide and her team (all of whom are very likeable) fight desperately, when we know there is no hope. We want them to be saved, yet realize that their deaths are inevitable and have to occur to ensure that future human history un-folds as it has before.
The tug of war in these emotional scenes allows for some great performing on Tennants part and this is especially true when The Doctor does something very uncharacteristic.
While we were warned The Doctor would do something unexpected in this episode, it still managed to be surprising. It would be too much of a spoiler to reveal what that action is here, but the moment is believably carried out by Tennant.
His strength as an actor, especially in this role, is his ability to switch on a dime from the happy-go-lucky Doctor, to a scary as hell 900 year old Time Lord. There are few of Tennants peers that can convincingly portray simmering fury and goofiness in equal measure not just in the same scene or moment, but often at the same time.
The success of this episode is also due, in no small part, to the brilliant casting of Lindsay Duncan (Rome) as Captain Adelaide Brooke. Casting a fifty-something woman, with an impressive TV and film resume made all the difference. This is a part that would normally go to a beautiful actress in her thirties or forties, but casting a beautiful, strong woman in her fifties brought a certain gravitas to the part that younger actresses just havent had a chance to earn yet.
Duncans capability of showing strength and vulnerability in the very same moment was a vital quality in Adelaide, as she had to be someone unusual who could gain The Doctors admiration and respect in a short period of time. It was also essential Adelaide be someone who The Doctor would have a hard time not helping. This episode also called for an actress who could have great rapport with David Tennant and who could believably defy and challenge The Doctor, which Duncan was easily able to do.
All in all, this was the first special that actually felt, well, special. While Planet of the Dead was fun, it really wasnt more than an ordinary Doctor Who episode with more expensive production values.
As with all of the best Doctor Who episodes, the effects, creatures and sets in The Waters of Mars are merely there to serve the story and not take center stage. Hopefully, Tennants final two episodes will be as good.
The Waters of Mars will air on BBC America on December 19th.

So yesterday I filmed an audition to send to the folks over at FESTA for their summer production of Romeo and Juliet in Florence, Italy and let me tell ya…
Acting is the weirdest thing ever. I have been studying this strange thing I was born to do for the past two years and have one more year left. I practice my craft every day but yesterday was interesting. Yesterday was the first time that I have had a difficult time shaking the emotions I experienced in my work once I snapped back to "reality," whatever that is… Any way. It took a bagillion takes for me to get the "right" take to send off and I was just getting frustrated. I was frustrated that I made the idiotic decision to select the most emotional moment in the play to do my monologue from. What was I thinking? I was having a difficult time in my rehearsals of it and I just couldn't emotionally connect to the work. I thought of every sad thing in the world in an attempt to get me to the place I needed to be at to start the monologue and nothing was working.
A classic Brittany Denyse meltdown was all it took to for me to get a take I was content with sending off.
The person who filmed for me (God bless her) was so patient with me and continuously encouraged me to try new things. Finally she suggested that I do the monologue really big and crazy with no concern with being good. I did that and it was the WORST rendition of Juliet in the history of existence. UGH! It was just bad. It was so bad that I finally broke down and cried like the baby I am at how horrible of an actor I am. Mind you the camera was still rolling. (Yes I have footage of this. No I will not show anyone!) Then it hit me! I needed to begin from that place. I began the monologue and finally was emotionally connected… to something. How much I suck at this!
Anyway, I finished filming and left to go to a friend's gathering. I thought I would be able to relax and enjoy myself but it took sooooooooooo long for me to finally be in Mykal world, not crazy Juliet-actor-filming-I suck-world. It made me crazy. It made me wonder, what in the world is acting? And why would any person in his or her right mind choose to do something as crazy as becoming someone else over and over again?
A person in his or her right mind wouldn't do it. Only crazy people do. Actors are crazy. We really are just plain ol' crazy. But, I wouldn't have it any other way.
-Mykal Monroe
** I went ahead and decided to expose myself in as much as I have in the above text. You can see the aforementioned meltdown here:

Keri Powell, MSW, LCSW
"I am comfortable treating most mental health issues and have experience in working with diverse populations. I often work with female clients addressing depression, anxiety, OCD, bipolar, co-dependency, personality disorders, and substance abuse issues; I specialize in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Borderline Personalities. I'm passionate about empowering women and promoting self acceptance. I enjoy leading people through a journey of self discovery to assist them in arriving at new insights and realizations.
I am eclectic in therapeutic techniques. I individualize treatment according to my client's comfort level and needs. I believe in the mind-body-spirit connection and utilize mindfulness approaches. I frequently rely on standard cognitive behavioral techniques and have the ability to implement dialectical behavior treatment plans. The development of a trusting, therapeutic relationship and offering a safe and healing environment are two of the most basic things I offer my clients. It's these simple things that prove to be the most appreciated gift for women in treatment, and they also offer excellent groundwork when ongoing or intensive treatment is required.
I have obtained certification as a guided imagery therapist from Synergy Seminars in Palm Springs, California. When a client is open to using guided imagery, I am excited to utilize it for a variety of treatment issues. Guided imagery works well in promoting relaxation, managing stress, helping people to gain and maintain good health, aiding in the physical healing process, exploring the many inner parts of ones core self, facilitating the grieving process, resolving past trauma, and releasing the past. I am most passionate about using imagery to help people with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder as it is an excellent tool to help people resolve their issues without retraumatizing clients by reliving their stories through traditional talk therapy."
Karen Jones, LCPC, BCPC
"I have 15+ years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois and a Board Certified Professional Counselor by the American Psychological Association. I enjoy working with people of all ages. I am holistic in my approach and use twelve step principles, mindfulness training, and expressive therapies to address issues surrounding relationships, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, and personality disorders. I provide individual therapy, and I also specialize in family and couples counseling.
I utilize twelve step principles to address painful thoughts and beliefs surrounding shame, isolation, and loneliness. I teach mindfulness skills to provide people with effective tools to manage painful emotions that have previously resulted in damaging sabotaging behaviors. I have specialized training in breathwork which is a unique and cutting-edge approach in mental health treatment. I have a teaching background in the fine arts and am passionate about using expressive therapies (music, art, and movement) to help those who struggle with traditional talk therapy.
My goal is to help people replace pain surrounding power struggles, accusations and blame with understanding, acceptance, and accountability. Through processing, destructive behaviors surrounding anger, frustration, and hoplessness are replaced with assertive respectful communication skills. Individuals, couples, and family members are empowered to make healthy choives that support healing and positive change." --Karen
Rachel Sutter, MSW, LCSW
"I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I got into this profession because I am passionate about helping others identify their own strengths and realize their capabilities. I prioritize providing a positive and safe space where my clients are able to feel accepted and able to discuss difficult issues.
I feel comfortable working with all ages-- children and adults. I am comfortable treating most mental health issues in teens and adults including anxiety, depression, anger, co-dependency, and addiction issues. I am eclectic in my approach in the office using cognitive therapy, twelve step programming, and rational emotive therapy to name a few. I am in the process of becoming certified in Theraplay which is an amazing, evidence-based form of therapy based on attachment theory; I've already seen great results using Theraplay with my young clients.
Through my work at a local psychiatric hospital, I gained experience working with all types of populations (adults and adolescents; the mentally ill and people with addictions) and became comfortable working with those in crisis. I chose to move to outpatient therapy, so I could work with clients more long term and incorporate spirituality into their healing process."
Rachel Kurtz, MSW, LCSW
"I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I enjoy working with people of all ages and strive to meet my clients where they are at. In order to achieve this goal, I will do my best at providing a safe and comfortable environment in which my clients are able to express their feelings and reach their desired goal in treatment.
I have extensive training in working with children and adolescents, specifically those are who have endured trauma including but not limited to child abuse, domestic violence exposure, grief and loss, depression, anxiety and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I often incorporate play into therapy with children in order for them to be able to safely express and process their feelings.
In addition, I work with parents who need extra support in parenting their children who have been exposed to trauma; including behavior modification, age appropriate consequences, discipline techniques or parenting needs. I have also had the opportunity to present at workshops regarding these topics.
Lastly, I have worked with women who have been exposed to trauma and may be suffering from depression, anxiety, codependency, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, trauma or relationship problems."

Package includes:
©2005 Gregg Braden; (P)2008 Sounds True
"Thought provoking as usual"
This collection of Braden's work is thought-provoking as usual. I didn't realize that some of this was from the late 90's and would like to see what's changed/been confirmed since esp as we near 2012. As an empath, I completely agree with his theories on shifts in the Earth and the lost mode of prayer. Some of the stories are repeated in each of the parts of this collection but they're good stories and are appropriate to each part of the collection, which stand alone. Having studied Christianity, Wicca, and the Law of Attraction, Braden offers a little different viewpoint that nicely complements my studies to date. More, please!
Spoken and delivered with conviction. This audio is for an audience looking for deeper insights in the correlations of heart, mind and emotions. Everything he touched upon, I was taught as a child and through adulthood -- so his lessons rang true to me and fed my soul.
"Enjoyed but repetitious"
I enjoyed the topic, but only because the subject has interested me for years. Somewhat abstract and for the left brained in the crowd it would be a difficult listen. Would have given it 5 stars but there was a great deal of repetition that started to get annoying at the end. I will listen to more of his titles, but if the repetition continued then I think I got the main concept and will move on to other authors.
Just when you thought you knew everything, you discover you know nothing. Braden explores the world we don't see with our science-washed eyes, and does so with grace and sincerity. If you enjoy exploring things you never knew before, you won't be able to put this one down. I've been listening to it in my car, and have ended up sitting in the driveway unable to leave my car until I hear more.
(BTW) I rated "story" a one-star because this isn't a story and I wasn't allowed to proceed until I had rated everything. So, the non-existent story wasn't particularly interesting.
"Paradigm Shifter"
The information contained in the series, especially about prayer, ancient texts, and the powerful ways we can apply this information in our daily lives.
Great narration by Gregg, his enthusiasm is contagious.
"Just fascinating stuff"
I would be fascinated to read both really.
None as my study on the subject is limited. He has the metaphysical voice of many of the new agers such as Wayne dyer but it was interesting because of the scientific and archeological cross referencing.
His transparency and obvious passion for the subject.
The whole book really, I love being privy to someone's experiences and encounters, talking to the old monks in the Himalayas or reading Dead Sea scrolls that were not included in the bible.
This is not a book for people requiring black and white answers, it's still very much for those still pulling the strings together from all the different sources and information that we have. Also for those who are in touch with their own knowing... You may find something in this text.
"More of the same"
This audiobook contains recordings from his other works, nothing new here. I like his ideas but as I have some of his other books this one was just a waste of money.
"The best way to read Gregg Braden"
where science meets all the wholes in religion and patches them up with true wisdom and teachings that finally make everything make sense. Narrated by Gregg as well, makes this audio collection worth the buy.
I enjoyed learning the correct way to pray... fascinating and powerful for me,.
I enjoy his voice,... soothing, and stimulating, not a bore. Uplifting and able to listen while I work or sit down to listen, I am kept and remember what Gregg has to say.
Braden, while seeming heartfelt, is hopelessly careless with scientific fact. He repeatedly claims that "scientists now know" as he plunges into an area filled with conjecture. Clearly, he expects that the credulous will look no further and just buy in to his certainty. I'm puzzled at his being so disingenuous. Maybe he doubts the premises he is making and over-compensates by misleading with "facts." In the end, he simply discredits what would otherwise be a meaningful case.
A waste.
Greg Braden is extremely articulate and explains things in such a way that anyone can understand. It is a pleasure to listen to him and hear everything that he has to tell us about our changing world - I would definitely recommend this.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

Manuscripts are in a sense living extensions of their authors—the intimacy of handwriting brings us closer to understanding the process of composition. The materiality and subject matter of the manuscripts shown in this section, written in the hands of four well-known Renaissance writers and one composer, make it possible to imagine the circumstances of their production: Edmund Spenser adding his transcriptions of two poems and a letter to a blank page in a printed book; Gabriel Harvey filling the margins of a book with his overflowing observations; John Dowland copying out music for a young lute student; John Donne pleading with his father-in-law for forgiveness for secretly marrying his daughter; Thomas Traherne struggling to finish a long poem after being urged by a friend to continue.
John Donne sent this passionate letter to Sir George More during one of the greatest crises of his life. Three weeks earlier, More had learned of Donne's secret marriage to his daughter Ann. Initially Donne was imprisoned, and More persuaded Donne's employer to dismiss him from his service. In this letter, Donne humbly importunes More for forgiveness, writing, "In all the world is not more true sorrow than in my heart." As a result, Donne and Ann More were reunited, but her father refused to contribute to her support. This letter is part of the most substantial and important body of letters by Donne known to survive.

Articles in the Overcoming Adversity Subcategory
When the motor scooter bucked, my body was launched into the air. Witnesses said I did at least one cartwheel, but I only remember a blur. I believe my right leg folded up under me as I hit the pavement with my full body weight. Then I rolled lengthwise several times until I was lying face up on the grass by the roadside.
Beloved, we have come to a place together, where it is very difficult to leave Your presence. How difficult it was, at the beginning of this journal, to hold You for very long. You have made Yourself so delightfully delicious to me that I do not want to withdraw from You. It is easier to will myself into Your presence than it is to will myself out of it, once in.
I had been attending yoga classes for about two years when three men in dark suits appeared one day and arrested our teacher. Everyone knew that someone from the class had betrayed him by reporting him to the KGB. Later we learned that our teacher had been arrested for distributing the yoga literature he had translated.
I was reflecting on how it had been such an unusually stressful afternoon that I could have easily keeled over with a heart attack. Yet I knew my current job was exactly what God wanted of me. I had hung in there and seen to it that each patient received the proper treatment. As much as possible, I had acted with the sense that God was the Doer. That was a victory.

Planking, aka the lying down game, is a popular activity in various parts of the world. It consists of lying face down in an unusual or incongruous location. The hands must touch the sides of the body, and having a photograph of the participant taken and posted on the Internet is an integral part of the game.
It first became all the rage in England but has recently become an equally huge fad in America. A trending topic on Twitter for weeks, people have been posting images of themselves in full planking mode.
Doctors and nurses at one medical facility were suspended when they planked on the job and posted the picture. There have also been several reported arrests for planking on police cars or splayed out on famous statues.
Celebrities are into planking and even New Zealand Prime Minister John Key and his son Max uploaded a planking pic to Facebook.
This writer even got into the act while performing her legitimate day job duties:
Our gallery of plankers includes hip hop artists and rappers Flava Flav, Big Sean and Chris Brown. Rosario Dawson demonstrates her technique for Jimmy Kimmel, Ellen Page gives it a valiant effort, and chef Gordon Ramsay planked with a tropical sunset in the background.
