There is growing concern that serious interactions are occurring between prescribed/over the counter and herbal medicines and that there is a lack of disclosure of herbal use by patients to doctors. This study explores women's perspectives about the safety of herbal remedies, herb-drug interactions and communication with doctors about herbal medicines.
Qualitative, cross-sectional study, with purposive sampling which took place in Cheshire, UK. Eighteen in depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with female herbal medicine users aged 18 years and above.
The large majority did not inform their GPs of their use of herbal medicines. This was due to lack of physician enquiry, perception of importance and fear of a negative response. Several women were not aware that herbal remedies could interact with prescribed or over the counter medicines. Of the women who had experienced adverse effects none had reported them, believing them of low importance.
The women had little knowledge about herb-drug interactions and rarely disclosed use of herbal medicines to their doctor. Doctors' communication and openness regarding herbal medicines needs to improve and there should be increased access to accurate information on herbal medicines in the public and health care domain.
Herbal medicine use is thriving worldwide [1]. In 1998 approximately 20% of participants in a UK survey reported using herbal or homeopathic medicine during the previous 12 months and the sale of herbal medicines grew by 50% in the UK during the period 1995–2000 [2]. Current regulation does not safeguard consumers against unsafe herbal medicine products or require adequate information to be provided by manufacturers [3]. Only some herbal preparations fall under strict regulations in the UK, unlike the stringent examinations required of prescription and over-the-counter drugs (OTC). Herbal medicines are usually marketed as supplements that can be bought OTC either ready made or can also be made up specially for an individual following a consultation with a herbal practitioner and are not subject to such regulation [[1] and [4]], and may "contain potent bioactive substances" [5]. There is growing concern that serious interactions are occurring between prescribed/OTC drugs and prescribed/OTC herbal medicines. A systematic review conducted in 2001 of published herb-drug interactions found evidence of interactions involving widely used herbs with prescribed drugs such as warfarin and garlic, St John's Wort and oral contraceptives [6].
A UK study published in 2004 found one in five patients on warfarin were also taking herbal medicines and 92% were not disclosing herbal medicine use to their doctors. Only 28% were aware that herbal medicines might interact with prescriptions, suggesting that there are public misconceptions regarding the safety of herbal medicine and the need to inform doctors about their use [7]. A UK study investigated whether people would tell their doctor about an adverse reaction to herbal medicine [8] but the reasons for this failure have not been studied. In-depth qualitative studies looking specifically at herbal medicine use in the UK have involved minority groups: Ghanaian women and Sikh immigrants in London. The Ghanaian women were found to have reservations about herbal medicine and its safety and preferred Western medicine when it was available in contrast to the wider usage found among the Sikh population studied [[9] and [10]].
People may use complementary and alternative medicines (CAM) because prescribed medication is not working or has side effects [11]. Suggested reasons for not reporting this use to doctors are that doctors themselves do not address this topic, patients may not think it necessary or be fearful of the doctor's reaction [[12] and [13]]. However the reasons for not reporting herbal medicine use specifically have not been investigated.
Previous studies have indicated primary predictors of herbal medicine use as female gender, white, ethnic origin, high educational status and high income [1,14-16]. Studies have found different age ranges for the highest prevalence of herbal medicine use ranging from young to late middle age [14-16]. Previous UK studies have not investigated in detail the beliefs of the most prevalent herbal medicine users.
This paper reports on a qualitative study of UK female herbal medicine users designed to explore their knowledge, attitudes and behaviour surrounding herbal medicine and the extent to which they disclose herbal medicine use to doctors. This is the first qualitative study to explore the views and knowledge of the most prevalent herbal medicine users in the UK and the first paper to report on reasons why women feel unable to report herbal medicine use and side effects to their doctors. We also report on the reasons why some women think that herbal medicines would not interact with conventional medicines.
Purposive sampling [17] was used to obtain a sample of people likely to be frequent users of herbal medicine i.e. white, British females aged 18 years and above [[1] and [14]]. We decided to use qualitative methodology in order to obtain in depth views on herbal medicine and the reasons behind quantitative facts derived from previous studies, for example we know that many people do not report herbal medicine use but we do not know their reasons why. Participants were recruited from two yoga groups (7 women), a therapy centre (4 women) and a women's book club (7 women) in Cheshire. Ethical approval was not required as the data was collected outside of the healthcare setting.
One of the authors (KV) visited groups to describe the research and invite people to be interviewed. A preliminary questionnaire was handed out to identify herbal medicine use (defined for the purposes of the study as any oral medication made from plant leaves, stems, flowers or roots) in the past twelve months. Forms were given out to 70 women and completed forms were collected from the group organisers and participants who wished to be interviewed contacted by telephone, 18 herbal medicine users responded and all wished to be interviewed. All respondents were interviewed in their homes using a previously piloted interview schedule. Interviews lasted from thirty minutes to an hour. The three authors designed the interview by reviewing previous research and looking at areas of herbal medicine taking that had not been tackled and would be suited to qualitative enquiry. The questions were structured in order of topic and were predominantly open-ended with the opportunity for expansion. The themes covered were: reasons for herbal medicine use, sources of advice and information about herbal medicine, interaction with doctors, safety, drug interactions, adverse effects and regulation knowledge. Socio-demographic details (age, ethnicity, occupation) were also collected at the time of the interview.
The interviews were recorded and transcribed. Transcripts were analysed by one of the authors (KV) using analysis 'framework' [18]. A thematic framework of issues and themes was identified according to which the data could be examined and referenced. Indexing was done where the thematic framework was applied systematically and numerically to the transcripts. Charts were drawn up for each key theme taking into account the range of attitudes and experiences. Chart headings reflected key themes from the thematic framework as well as novel themes and condensed themes that had arisen during the coding process. There were entries for several respondents on each chart and a picture of the data as a whole was built up. Finally data was mapped and interpreted by pulling together the key characteristics of the data [18]. For each key theme the range of responses was determined as well as the dominant response. An analytical approach was also incorporated where the number of respondents who had mentioned a theme was counted [17]. This helped to illustrate which issues arose most frequently among this group of women. The way in which certain types of response to one theme on the data charts related to specific responses in another theme was observed. The findings and the conclusions they drew from the data were then discussed amongst the three authors.
The 18 women interviewed were from a wide age range, all were white British from higher socio-economic groupings (Table 1) and mentioned a range of sources used to obtain information about herbal medicine. The themes and subcategories which emerged from the interviews are grouped under six main headings: (i) motivations for using herbal medicine and the extent of herbal use (ii) reporting herbal medicine use to doctors (iii) co-herbal conventional drug use (iv) beliefs about the testing of herbal products (v) adverse reactions (vi) beliefs about improving information and labelling of herbal medicine. Selected quotes are presented to illustrate the subcategories that arose within these themes.
Table 1. Demographic Characteristics of Women Interviewed (n = 18)
Motivations for using herbal medicine and extent of herbal use
Motivations for herbal medicine use were varied but all included at least one of three subcategories: perceived advantages of herbal medicines, beliefs about the disadvantages of conventional health care and medicines (Table 2).
Table 2. Summary of Themes and Subcategories Around Motives for Herbal Use
The majority expressed that part of their motivation for using herbal medicine was due to it being more natural, or holistic or did not involve chemicals.
"I felt better popping this in my mouth than I would a pill. Do you know what I mean? You just feel that it's better for you some how " (interviewee 7).
"I suppose because they are natural plant based and I don't like the idea of putting chemicals into my body " (Interviewee 15).
An important advantage that contributed to preference for using herbal medicines was personal control. This featured in nearly all the interviews and ranged from the belief that it is good to be able to sort things out for yourself, to a strong desire not to be told what to do.
" Because if I take a herbal remedy, I have researched it myself. When I take medicine from the doctor, that is his knowledge, his research, his expertise and I just do as I'm told as a child would" (Interviewee 15).
The second subcategory mentioned by most women was problems with doctors or aspects of the healthcare system. Some women felt doctors were unable to help with certain problems and therefore they looked at alternatives. These problems ranged from minor colds to pleurisy and renal infection. The women contrasted the inconvenience of getting appointments with a doctor with instant access to herbal medicines.
" I have to wait a week before I can see my GP. If I go to a herbalist I can go back in the next day..." (Interviewee 17).
An area of importance for a few women was doctors' attitudes towards them, principally with regard to emotional issues. Past negative experiences with doctors had lead to reluctance to consult and therefore heavy reliance on herbal medicine.
"I mean I did go once. I think I was really quite depressed about 20 years ago and although my doctor did give me antidepressants, his view was that I should get out a bit more and go to tea mornings with the ladies and that would solve my problems. So I didn't like that attitude... I just felt like he thought that I was a silly little woman. ....one time I did go a long time back, it made me very very reluctant to ever go back " (Interviewee 10)
A minority of the women ascribed their reluctance to consult doctors and opt for herbal medicines to time rationing of appointments, little faith in doctors or not wanting to bother doctors.
The third subcategory related to reservations about the side effects and potential damage caused by conventional medicine. Several women believed herbal medicines have no or very little side effects.
"...proper medicine from a doctor. I would class that as proper medicine, different things like that are much stronger and get to the point but there is always side effects, don't they?...Doctor's medicine, where I don't think there are with herbal" (Interviewee 4).
A minority cited bad past experiences and little faith in conventional medicine.
"I was once put on digoxin and I have also had aspirin and all of them had particularly bad effects on me. So I am very very sensitive. So for a very tiny dose of digoxin I was actually having the digoxin side effects..." (Interviewee 13).
The conditions women used herbal remedies for were varied, most commonly were depression, anxiety and stress, colds and flu, premenstrual tension and menopausal symptoms, infections and skin complaints. For women who used herbal remedies for serious conditions this was either due to failed treatment with conventional medicine, or, due to lack of faith in the medical profession. Most bought their herbal remedies over the counter, mainly from health food shops and a few from the pharmacy and mail order. A few visited a herbal practitioner to obtain their herbal medicines (see Table 1). Those who had visited a herbal practitioner tended to hold stronger views about their lack of faith in conventional medical care versus herbal medicine.
"R: What made you decide to start to try herbal remedies".
"I: As I said earlier it was a last resort really and because I kept going back to the doctors and saying something wasn't right and because I was getting very tired and I had lost a lot of weight and I was getting very down about it all, so the doctors couldn't really find anything and so I went (to a herbal practitioner) as a last resort" (Interviewee 11).
"R: So why is it that you decided to go to see a herbalist about this particular problem"?
"I: Em I don't have a lot of faith in GPs or conventional medicine..."(Interviewee 1).
The majority, (14), thought there were definite limits to herbal medicine's capabilities in comparison to conventional medicine. Only a minority, (4), believed that herbal remedies were not limited and could treat serious conditions, including cancer. Most (3) who held this belief had little faith in conventional medicine.
" I think it definitely can be helped by herbs there are a whole host of herbs for cancer..." (Interviewee 13).
Reporting herbal medicine use to doctors
Most women (15) said they did not usually inform their GPs about herbal medicine use even when prescribed conventional medicines. Six main reasons were given (Table 3), the primary reason being their doctor never asked.
Table 3. Reasons Given by Women for Informing or Not Informing Doctors of Herbal Medicine Use
"R: If you go to the doctors do you tell the doctor you are taking a herbal medicine?
I: No. I don't think the doctor has ever asked " (Interviewee 3).
The second reason was because it never occurred to the women or seemed unimportant. Some believed there was no danger in taking herbal and prescribed medicine, especially if the medications were for different problems. A few described past negative experiences on disclosure of use, fear of the doctor's response and the belief they would not be interested.
I: " ...I did mention positively that I'm actually finding starflower oil helping you know. And I don't always feel that it's received very well".
R: "Right".
I: "I almost feel like I'm a naughty girl doing that " (Interviewee 1).
Two women said they would not even mention herbal medicine use to their doctors if they were aware that they could interact with their prescribed medication due to fear of the response they might receive.
I: "Interact badly, do you mean, or well in any way"?
R: "Yes in any way"?
I: "I don't know. I am very worried about talking to GP's about herbal medicine. My sense in the past has been that they are just not interested or they are not up for it or shouldn't be messing around with it " (Interviewee 1).
For the minority who regularly informed their doctor of herbal medicine use, the primary reason was because they had a good relationship with their doctor who was open-minded.
"Because I think I have quite a good relationship with my doctor.... she is much more open now I think to alternative " (Interviewee 6).
Co-herbal conventional drug use
Seven women were not aware that some herbal medicines could interact with certain prescription drugs. Eleven said they would use both herbal and conventional medicines over the same time period; most (8) believing that if the medicines were for different conditions it would be safe. Others (2) thought if the conditions were not serious it would not matter.
"No I think ginseng is quite mild so it is unlikely to react with medication. If I was taking herbal then I wouldn't take prescribed for the same problem. It also depends on what is wrong with you. I don't think that things I take for say the immune system or detox or to boost your mood would react with something like antibiotics " (Interviewee 17).
Two respondents were unaware they were co-ingesting herbal medicine and prescription medicines as they had not realised the oral contraceptive pill was a prescription medicine. In addition, every respondent said they used over-the-counter medicines at some time, which could also lead to potential mixing and interactions.
Adverse reactions
The majority (13) said they had never experienced any adverse reactions to herbal remedies. For those that had (5) the commonest herbal medicine was St John's Wort that had been bought OTC. Other adverse effects were felt to be due to overdose or prolonged use of a potentially damaging OTC herbal medicine. Those who had experienced detrimental effects said they had not informed anyone due to underestimation of their importance.
R: "With the eyes did you actually see anyone about that at all, about the symptoms you were experiencing"?
I: "No... I saw a tiny little paragraph in a magazine that commented on people having trouble with eyes on St John's Wort ... it said not to worry come straight off it " (Interviewee 1).
Those respondents who had never experienced adverse reactions described a range of potential sources where they would get help if it occurred. Most (7) said they would inform their doctor but a few (3) of these would only do so if they were very ill, otherwise they said they would consult a herbal shop. Some (4) said they would consult a herbal shop for all reactions including severe ones. A few said they would take no action as they would be afraid to admit their herbal medicine use to health professionals.
"I don't know because could you go to a pharmacist and go erm, I've taken this? I don't know they might be quite dismissive of you. I don't know " (Interviewee 7).
Only one respondent said that they would also inform the manufacturer.
Beliefs about herbal testing
On the theme of safety, few (3) believed herbal medicines were completely harmless but the vast majority (14) thought they were relatively safe.
"You tend to think that they are very safe. Which could be quite naïve but just the word herbal you think ah it must be good for you, it must be safe " (Interviewee 7).
Many (10) believed there is testing done on herbal medicines for safety. The remainder (8) did not know whether there were tests. Several (8) respondents believed that herbal medicines are tested to see if they cure disease and some (6) believed they are tested for consistency. The majority (12) understood there is not strict regulation of herbal products. Some (3) believed this is due to herbal medicines being safe.
"Well I think if people are grownups they should be allowed to take what they want...
You don't hear about people dying in droves from herbal medicines " (Interviewee 14).
The majority (6) of those that were aware regulation is not stringent said they would like it to improve. The remainder (2) felt they would not want improvements due to fear of being denied access.
"I think the EU is trying to sweep a lot of them off our shelves which I am not particularly happy about " (Interviewee 14).
Beliefs about improving information and labelling of herbal medicines
Virtually every interviewee said they would like more information on aspects of herbal remedies including improvements on labelling and comprehensive leaflets included with products, which would state what the herbal medicines are for and any side effects or contraindications.
R: "How do you think the labelling could be improved"?
I: "With more advice, what it is recommended for and also contraindications which you do get on normal medications " (Interviewee 15).
Other areas suggested for improvement were: information about interactions and action to take if a reaction occurred (5); poor labelling of dose and duration (4); absence of ingredient lists on their Chinese herbal medicines (2), which was of great concern for one interviewee who had allergies; the need for simpler language on leaflets and larger print (2); trials on herbal medicines and information on the state of present regulation and testing (7).
From a medical perspective, simultaneous use of herbal and conventional drugs has the potential to be a serious threat to health [1] and lack of communication between users and doctors regarding the issue contribute to this [7]. This study was therefore essential to get the lay perspective on these issues and to formulate an understanding of what is impeding discussion between doctors and herbal medicine users. Previous studies have investigated people's reasons for seeking CAM generally [[11] and [13]] and reasons for not reporting CAM use to doctors [[12] and [13]]. This is the first UK study to explore in depth the beliefs and motives for using herbal medicine, co-herbal conventional drug use and the reasons for not reporting herbal medicine use to doctors, of women whose socio-demographic characteristics reflect those of the main users of herbal medicine documented in previous studies [14-16]. Although the results of the study are not generalisable to the UK population as a whole, due to the small-scale opportunistic sampling approach used, the study has elicited some of the reasons behind non-disclosure and lack of adverse effect reporting.
Motives for herbal medicine use among the women interviewed for the current study were centred essentially on the contrasting advantages of herbal medicine and disadvantages of conventional medicine. The main factors mentioned were unsuccessful conventional treatment and concerns about side effects [11] and lack of satisfaction with orthodox medicine and its failure to take a holistic approach [[20] and [21]] versus the belief that herbal medicine is natural and free from chemicals and they are able to maintain their personal control by taking it instead of being told what they should do by doctors.
The discovery that many of the study participants believed that herbal medicines are not chemical was related to their beliefs that herbal medicines are relatively safe. Similar findings arose in studies into CAM therapies in general where the belief they are 'natural' appears to be synonymous with 'safe' [22]. This suggests that awareness needs to be raised that herbal medicines may contain powerful and potentially toxic ingredients and therefore need to be treated by users in the same way as conventional medicines. There was a lack of awareness of the extent of herbal medicine testing among the study participants and a desire for better labelling of products. This highlights the need for the level of testing to be stated on the product. This has now been introduced in Canadian products to guide consumers [23].
It is evident from this research that consumer awareness of interactions between herbal medicine and conventional medicine is lacking and this has the potential to cause serious interactions. This supports a previous study conducted in 2004 in the UK involving patients taking warfarin and herbal medicines, where only 28% thought that they may interact [7]. It is of paramount importance therefore that awareness is raised among both the public and health care professionals that herbal, prescription and OTC medicines can interact. It needs to be emphasised that even if the medicines are for different conditions or minor illnesses there could still be potential for serious interactions.
Discussion of herbal medicine use with doctors was uncommon among the study participants despite the fact that interviewees were from higher socio-economic groups who are more likely to be knowledgeable about health related matters and more proactive in their interactions with doctors [24]. The reasons for non-disclosure of herbal medicine use shown in the current study, mirror reasons for non-disclosure of CAM in previous studies [[12] and [13]] such as that doctors fail to ask about herbal medicine usage or patient lack of awareness or fear of the doctor's response. It appeared that no doctor had ever asked any of the women interviewed in the current study if they use herbal medicine but nearly all said they would disclose use if they were asked. The perceptions of the women in the current study regarding doctors' attitudes towards herbal medicines were predominantly negative. Therefore doctors' awareness that they need to ask about herbal medicine needs to be raised and that their attitudes and communication skills will influence patients' willingness to discuss herbal medicines. Safety and relationships with their patients are likely to be better maintained if doctors are willing to enter into non-judgmental dialogues with patients about herbal medicines and take on board why herbal medicine is meaningful to them and allow their patients to maintain personal control in decisions about treatment options.
A UK study found that people would be less likely to report adverse reactions to herbal compared to conventional medicine and this suggests that strategies need to be put in place to ensure communication of this type of information [8]. It was discovered by this research that the reasons for not reporting adverse herbal reactions were lack of realisation of importance and fear of informing health professionals. This could cause serious morbidity and delayed treatment. This points to the requirement for patient information at GP practices that includes encouragement to inform their GPs of herbal medicine reactions and explain that they will be treated with respect and understanding. It is only through reporting reactions that effective monitoring can occur and due safety measures be implemented.
This research has gained insight into areas regarding simultaneous herbal and conventional drug use among UK women and their interaction with doctors about these issues. It has elicited some reasons behind non-disclosure and lack of adverse effect reporting It was discovered by this research the reasons for not reporting adverse herbal reactions were specifically to do with herbal medicine as opposed to CAM in general. The study has however shown similarities to studies that have looked at CAM in general in the UK [[11,20] and [21]].
Discussion of herbal medicine use with doctors appears to be infrequent and the key limiting factors uncovered appear to be the lack of realisation of importance, doctors' failure to ask, communicate and be approachable. Women's lack of knowledge of herb-drug interactions and the need to report adverse effects is of great concern, especially amongst an educated group. This level of knowledge may be reduced still further in a more socio-economically diverse group. It seems communication between health professionals and patients is the key to overcoming many of these issues and willingness to take each other's beliefs on board is the only way to form a safe alliance between conventional and herbal medicine.

Mystery (stylized as MYSTERY) is a Canadian progressive rock band formed in 1986 by multi-instrumentalist Michel St-Père. Mystery's current line-up is St-Père, singer Jean Pageau, keyboardist Benoît Dupuis, bassist François Fournier, guitarist Sylvain Moineau and drummer Jean-Sébastien Goyette.[1]
Formation and first three albums (1986-1999)[edit]
Mystery was formed in 1986 by Michel St-Père who at the time was working at Studio Illusion as a sound engineer. The band was originally named Century, but was renamed to Mystery when it was discovered there was a band in France already called Century.[2] It took several years for a stable lineup to form, but by 1990 a lineup formed featuring St-Père on guitars, along with Stéphane Perreault on drums, Raymond Savoie on vocals, and Benoît Dupuis on keyboards. In 1991 the band began recording their first EP.[3] Richard Addison joined the band in 1991 on bass and Gary Savoie, Raymond's brother, became the lead singer in winter of that year. Mystery released their debut EP in March 1992 with both Raymond and Gary on vocals. This EP is currently the only Mystery album that is out of print.
Perreault was taken ill with a crippling illness in 1991 which led to a hiatus until autumn of 1993, at which point the band regrouped. Recording started on the band's first full-length album, Theatre of the Mind, in winter of 1994.[4] After finishing his parts for the album, Addison left the band and was replaced by Patrick Bourque, who had played bass on "Rythmizomena" on Theatre of the Mind. Michel Painchaud also joined the band on saxophone and acoustic guitar. In 1995, the band was reduced to four members when Dupuis and Painchaud left. To help promote the new album's release in 1996, St-Père created his own record label, Unicorn Digital, on which all of Mystery's recordings from this point onward would be released.[5] The release of Theatre of the Mind helped the band reach an audience outside of their home in Canada.[6]
During the recording of the band's second album, Destiny?, Perreault left and was replaced by Steve Gagné who was introduced to the band by studio sound engineer, Gilles Peltier.[7] Destiny? was released in May 1998 and licensed to French record label Musea. By the time it came to start work on the band's next album in 1999, singer Gary Savoie left due to musical differences.[8]
Benoît David era (1999-2014)[edit]
After Gary Savoie left he was replaced by Benoît David, who St-Père had met after a Yes tribute gig by David's then-band Close To The Edge (named Gaïa at the time) prior to Savoie's departure from the band.[9] For the next several years, St-Père shifted his focus to expanding his record label,[10][11] causing new Mystery material to be delayed.
In 2000 Mystery released two songs, one for a Pink Floyd tribute album and one for a progressive rock compilation album, "Hey You" and a demo of the title track from Beneath the Veil of Winter's Face respectively. Mystery also released the compilation album At the Dawn of a New Millennium, marking a transition period in the band. Over the next few years, progress was made on the band's next studio album, with a rough mix of the song "As I Am" appearing on a 2004 compilation album. Then in 2006, Mystery released a cover of "Visions of Paradise" on a The Moody Blues tribute album.[12]
Beneath the Veil of Winter's Face, the band's third studio album, was released on May 15, 2007.[13] Bourque died a few months after the album's release in September 2007, the cause of death was determined to be suicide. He was also a member of Emerson Drive up until a month before his death.[14] Following the passing of Bourque, St-Père, David, and Gagné, soldiered on. They hired François Fournier to replace Bourque on bass, and brought second guitarist Dean Baldwin to the fold. Former keyboard player Benoît Dupuis rejoined the band in his original role.
In 2008 David became the lead singer of Yes (until 2012), filling in for Jon Anderson, while continuing to be the lead singer for Mystery. While this helped the band reach a wider audience, it also caused Mystery to have to work around Yes' schedule.
Destiny?, Mystery's second album, was remixed and released with new artwork and a bonus track as a 10th anniversary edition in 2009.[15] The new lineup also played their first show, opening for The Musical Box on April 3.
In 2010, the band released their fourth studio album, One Among the Living.[16] Many other musicians played on the album as session musicians, including other artists who released music on Unicorn Digital and other musicians, including Oliver Wakeman and John Jowitt.
Gagné departed the band in 2011, as he was unable to do the recording for the upcoming album, but stayed with the band as a touring member. Nick D'Virgilio was named to be the session musician who would record all the drum tracks on their next album and Antoine Fafard from Spaced Out would record all the bass tracks on the album. On July 28, 2012, Sylvain Moineau was announced to be filling in for Baldwin on guitars for their next show, and then became a full-time touring member.[17] Mystery released their fifth studio album, The World is a Game, on August 10, 2012.[18]
On January 2, 2013 it was announced that Jean-Sébastien Goyette would be playing drums in the live band instead of Gagné, with his first show being the February 7 show at Centrepointe Theatre.[19]
A remastered version of At the Dawn of a New Millennium was announced on February 26 along with Unveil the Mystery, a new compilation album containing music from 2007 until 2012, for which the name for was announced on March 12.[20]
On May 10, the band played and recorded their first European show in the Netherlands during their tour supporting The World is a Game which was released as the double live album, Tales from the Netherlands, on October 1, 2014.
The band recorded the Gene Simmons song "See You Tonite" for the KISS tribute album A World With Heroes. Todd Farhood sang lead vocals while the rest of Mystery (St-Père, Dupuis, Fournier, Moineau and Goyette) played their respective instruments.
Jean Pageau era (2014-present)[edit]
On March 14, 2014 it was announced that David had left the band the prior fall after having discussed wanting to take a pause from music before the start of the The World is a Game Tour. His successor is Jean Pageau, who officially joined the band on March 9.[21] On July 7 Antoine Michaud was announced to be filling in for Sylvain Moineau for all 2014 concerts, and that he had already been practicing with the band for a month.[22] In August and September the band toured the second leg of concerts supporting The World is a Game with shows in Canada and Europe. [23]
On November 2 it was announced recording had started on the next studio album.

The SF group doesn't currently have a good recommendation thread, so I thought I would start one.
What books would you recommend to a newcomer to SF? What do you consider must-reads? Any books that make a good cross-over from fantasy to sf?
Perhaps you would just like to list your favorites, or maybe break them down by genre or date of publication.
I know, we do have past threads that touched on this topic, but a new current thread, to gain the attention of our new members is, imho, in order.
March 10th, 2003, 10:56 PM #2
Agreed about the recommendation thread
Here's a good place to start:10 best science fiction novelsLast edited by fluffy bunny; October 29th, 2010 at 01:17 PM. Reason: fixed the linky
March 10th, 2003, 11:21 PM #3
LOL, Fluffy Bunny, that was the thread I was thinking about. It was what drew me into this forum.
The following is my list from over a year ago, and quite frankly, my tastes haven't changed!
Ok...I don't have any idea how I can narrow down my top ten, but the following are books that I found so compelling that I still remember them. :*)
1) The Dispossessed - Ursula K. LeGuin
2) The Left Hand of Darkness - Ursula K. LeGuin
3) The Word for World is Forest - Ursula K. LeGuin
4) The Snow Queen - Joan Vinge
5) Night's Dawn Trilogy - Peter F. Hamilton
6) Startide Rising - David Brin
7) Gateway - Pohl
8) Kurt Vonnegut - Slaughterhouse 5
9) Foundation Trilogy - Asimov
10) The Diamond Age - Neal Stephenson
11) The Moon is a Harsh Mistress - Heinlein
12) Otherland - Tad Williams (at least the first 3)
13) Speaker for the Dead, Card
14) Miles Vorkosigan series, Bujold-McMaster
15) Earth - David Brin
16) Bellweather - Connie Willis
17) Mars Trilogy - Kim Stanley Robinson
18) A Deepness in the Sky and Fire Upon the Deep - Vernor Vinge
19) Doomsday Book - Connie Willis
20) A Canticle for Leibowitz - Miller
21) 1984 - Huxley
I would add:
22) The Sparrow -- Mary Russell
23) Perdido Street Station -- China Mieville
24) A Canticle for Liebowitz or Gather, Darkness! -- Fritz Lieber
25) The Encylcopedia of Science Fiction -- John Clute and Peter Nicholls.
I might have second thoughts about a few books on that list, but I will stand by what I said.

1984, by Huxley?! Oops, lol
So is it 1984 by Orwell that you wanted on the list, or something by Huxley?
March 11th, 2003, 12:52 PM #5
I'm sure I'm going to miss loads, but I'll give it a shot
- The Stars my Destination (Bester)- A must read Demolished man is also good
- Foundation (Asimov)- hated the rest of the trilogy
- Ender's Game (OS Card)- speaker for the dead's also good
- Day of the Triffids (Wyndam)
- Forever War (Haldeman)
- Lord of Light (Zelazny)
- Gateway (Pohl)
- Eon (Bear) - though the 2nd half put me off
- Sundiver (Brin) - for some reason I preferred this to Startide Rising
- Player of Games (I.M. Banks)
- Invisible Man (Wells)- most of Well's work is good
- Lots of short stories by Phillip K Dick
- Revelation Space- Reynolds
More to come when I can think of a few more that I liked- Dune and neuromancer are probably not going to get on the list though.Last edited by fluffy bunny; September 22nd, 2004 at 08:35 AM.

I actually think I enjoyed We by Zamyatin more than 1984, has anyone read that?
October 30th, 2011, 05:26 AM #8
Zamyatin et.al
talk about browsing to the right location: your head! 'We' as you know inspired Orwell as well as Huxley [back to front I know]
I found some others you might go for
Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky: Memories of the Future
Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz: Insatiability

I read We when I was a teen, along with 1984 and Brave New World, and loved it. I am actually, currently re-reading it, but just haven't been able to get into it. But, there is no doubt, that it is a classic novel of the same ilk. I think the story of the author and its publishing is amazing.
I plan on finishing it up soon.
March 11th, 2003, 03:22 PM #10
I just thought the writing and all the imagery Zamyatin used was more vivid than 1984. But I haven't read 1984 in a while so I should probably re-read it. The way the character goes from writing like a machine to very poetic when he gets a "soul" and then back to a machine at the end is really great.

Exeter Chiefs have announced that Namibian full-back Chrysander Botha has become the club's eighth signing of the summer.
The 26-year-old has been playing in Super Rugby for The Lions, a South African side, and has 25 caps for Namibia.
Botha will join his team mates next week and should be available for pre-season friendlies against Cardiff Blues, Ulster and Worcester Warriors.
Exeter assistant coach Ali Hepher said: \"He's a slightly different player to what we've got already.
\"There's hopefully a little more pace and he's an exciting runner on the ball. He's also tough defensively, which is always important at full-back.
\"It's a slot we have been looking to fill for a little while now. We've been looking for the right person, but we weren't desperate because we've got other players who are more than capable of playing in that position.
\"Hopefully, he will add a bit more quality there for us.
\"With the Super Rugby season finishing, we wanted to get him in as early as possible.
\"It's worked at this stage and it will be good to get him into training next week. Then we can really have a good look at him within our system and see how he goes.
\"Obviously, we have got other options for the position, so it's meant we have been able to take our time to find the best fit that was out there, and hopefully Chrysander is that.\"

LOS ANGELES, June 4— Hours before he signed Shaquille O'Neal to a contract in 1996, Jerry West was shaking. West, then the team president of the Los Angeles Lakers, was so worried that O'Neal would change his mind that his nerves simply took over his body, more so than at any time during his Hall of Fame playing career.
West had mortgaged the franchise's future by trading away players and draft picks, trying to clear salary room to sign O'Neal. A month earlier, he finagled a way to pluck a 17-year-old high school phenomenon named Kobe Bryant out of the National Basketball Association draft.
His reputation and the success of the franchise hinged on whether he could persuade O'Neal to sign. At the same time, he figured the Lakers might have a bright future shaped by their young stars: O'Neal, the game's emerging dominant inside player, complemented by Bryant, a teenager who could mature into the most accomplished outside threat.
''But looking back, I don't think anyone could have known how significant that day was,'' West said. ''I sure didn't.''
On the eve of the N.B.A. finals, O'Neal and Bryant are on the verge of making history. Dunking with malice, winning with flair, they have put aside early-season jealousy and petulance and tossed aside opponents with surprising ease. The Lakers have won all 11 of their playoff games so far and, in fact, have not lost since April 1, a streak of 19 consecutive victories. When they open against the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday night here, the Lakers have a chance to become the first N.B.A. team to go unbeaten in the postseason.
Moreover, their manner of victory -- beating their opponents by an average of more than 15 points a game -- has led to speculation that they are the league's next potential dynasty.
''If anybody can do it they can,'' said 83-year-old Red Auerbach, the former Boston Celtics patriarch whose teams won 11 championships in 13 seasons. ''With Shaq, with Kobe, you've got the best big man in the game today and the best backcourt player. If they play the way they're capable of playing, I don't see anyone beating them for a while.''
Gone is the very public feud between O'Neal and Bryant, a rift that created an uneasiness in the locker room earlier in the season and nearly ruined any chance they had of winning a second straight championship. But now the two teammates are showering each other with kindness while killing their opponents with a combination of O'Neal's thundering inside power and Bryant's slicing drives and jump shooting.
''I think we do complement each other,'' O'Neal said. ''We're the yin and the yang. Nice guy, bad boy. It's like a movie, where two kids go to school and everybody wants to pick on the little brother. But then their big brother comes around. Nobody messes with him. That's how it is with me and Kobe.''
Bryant said: ''We just played ourselves through it. We got past the bad times.''
How the Lakers managed to pass their chemistry test, instead of flunking it, tells the story of a fairy-tale postseason.
Hostility on the Court
Just a few months ago, O'Neal, 29, believed Bryant was selfish and needed to stop worrying about becoming the game's best player at the team's expense. Bryant, 22, wanted to know why he had to harness his newfound skills. He wondered aloud why O'Neal was not in better physical condition.
For a while, they barely acknowledged each other on the court. A person close to O'Neal said he actually developed hand signals, one of which told teammates not to pass the ball to Bryant.
Bryant merely took more shots, passed less and publicly acknowledged that he trusted himself more than his teammates.
Coach Phil Jackson referred to the spat as ''silly,'' adding that it reminded him of a ''sandbox fight.''
At any rate, their feud became a real reminder of how fragile chemistry and personalities are in the world of professional sports, driven as it is by egos and endorsements, and how teammates' relationships are never perfect but rather constantly evolving and sometimes as complex as family relationships.
''It's like a marriage,'' Jackson had previously said. ''Marriage can go along blissfully, and then someone can make a mistake and be in a very awkward position. And it upsets the whole apple cart.''
At its nadir, the team became divided over Bryant's individual pursuits on the floor. During a game against the Golden State Warriors on Nov. 6, few of his teammates applauded a 50-point game in a loss. They believed he was trying to match the Warriors' top scorer, Antawn Jamison, who also scored more than 50 points.
''I don't like to remember,'' Rick Fox, the Lakers' veteran forward, said. ''It really takes us back to a place where it's hard to even think about. To go from the love we feel in the room now from then is truly amazing. You remember the song from 'The Lion King,' 'Can You Feel the Love Tonight?'? Well, we couldn't feel any love that night.''
On the bench, Bryant's teammates openly criticized his selfish play. ''I'll put it this way,'' Fox acknowledged, ''the disgruntled employees were making bigger and bigger picket signs.''

NPS Pharmaceuticals And Takeda Revise Agreements And NPS Re-Gains Full Worldwide Rights To Teduglutide And Recombinant Human Parathyroid Hormone 1-84
NPS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: NPSP) and Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (TSE: 4502, "Takeda") announced today that NPS has re-gained the full worldwide rights to teduglutide (trade name in Europe: Revestive ®) and recombinant human parathyroid hormone 1-84 (PTH 1-84) (trade name in Europe: Preotact ®). NPS licensed the commercial rights to Preotact and Revestive in 2004 and 2007, respectively, for territories outside of North America to Nycomed, which was acquired by Takeda in 2011.
Under the terms of the agreement, NPS will have worldwide rights to develop and commercialize teduglutide and PTH 1-84. Takeda will also assign to NPS its assets related to the two products, including all of its active pharmaceutical ingredient inventory and information related to the products' continued development, manufacture, and commercialization, including life cycle management assets. Takeda will receive NPS common stock valued at $50 million. Takeda will also earn a milestone payment in the first calendar year that combined worldwide net sales of both products exceed $750 million. NPS has the option of making this milestone payment in the amount of $30 million, in cash or NPS common stock.
"This transaction establishes NPS as a global commercial rare disease company," said Francois Nader, M.D., president and chief executive officer of NPS Pharmaceuticals. "Our primary focus is to secure reimbursement for Revestive in Europe and to finalize our commercial strategy for both drugs to maximize their worldwide success. However, our 2013 priorities remain the successful U.S. launch of Gattex and the submission of our U.S. marketing application for Natpara."
"Orphan drugs like teduglutide, serve high unmet medical needs. We are confident that as an orphan and specialty company, NPS is best suited to maximize the value of teduglutide and PTH 1-84 and ensure that as many patients as possible benefit from treatment. The structure of this transaction allows us to participate in NPS' future success with these products," said Dr. Frank Morich, chief commercial officer of Takeda.

Kyle Lucas - Housewife
Artist: Kyle Lucas
Producer: G-Eazy
Album: It's Always Sunny in Marietta 2
Avg Rating: 3.7 ( 6 votes )
In addition to having an excellent last name (a totally unbiased opinion), Kyle Lucas also has a knack for making insanely vibrant, catchy tunes. His latest, Housewife, is no exception. This record has a vintage feel thanks to Booth regular G-Eazy's production, which features energetic clapping over a barbershop quartet-esque effect. Atop the ebullient boardwork, Lucas delivers an equally energetic mic performance. The emcee likens himself to Mad Men protagonist Don Draper, claiming that, while it's time for him to settle down, he will also need a girl on the side (and a few more here and there). This is the third single off of Lucas' forthcoming mixtape, It's Always Sunny In Marietta 2, which will be available on April 10.

Rangers Review

GLENDALE, AZ - JANUARY 30: Head coach John Tortorella of the New York Rangers during the NHL game against the Phoenix Coyotes at Jobing.com Arena on January 30, 2010 in Glendale, Arizona. The Coyotes defeated the Rangers 3-2. (Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images)
I respect John Tortorella. Been a fan of his before he joined our team, and an even bigger fan of his now that he is the coach of our team. But I respectfully disagree with not only the way he coached this game, but in his post game comments. He thought the third line was his best line, yet they were on for all 3 goals against. He said AA is missing "everything" from his game right now, yet he has nearly double the points of any of the 3rd line players. Has AA been struggling a bit as of late? Sure. That's as much his fault as it is Derek Stepans fault who hasn't been playing all that well either. The fact of the matter is, I think Torts started to meddle with the lines when that really didn't need to happen. The Rangers dominated the first period, and played a pretty even 2nd period. It wasn't until Torts started screwing with all the lines that the momentum really shifted in their direction. I just didn't see the need for it. I think we praise Torts a lot for being pro...

When we sampled Beauty Protector's original Protect & Detangle spray, it became an instant fan favorite. Thanks to your overwhelmingly positive feedback, Beauty Protector went ahead and developed this Protect & Conditioner for an exclusive early launch with Birchbox. It's designed to shield hair from the effects of heat styling and environmental damage with the help of pearl powder. (Conchiolin, a major ingredient of pearls, acts like the protein keratin, the main component of hair.) This conditioner is also packed with nutrients that up hair's volume and shine.
Companion to the great shampoo I like traveling with, I find this a good daily conditioner. You'll definitely still want your deep conditioning treatment, whatever that is - but this holds up for the few days between richer conditioning. The scent is nice, too! Very light.
5This is hands down the best conditioner I have ever used in my life. I have super long super thick wavy coarse hair. This is the first conditioner I have found that is actually super moisturizing while still giving my girls bounce and not making my hair look greasy! And I don't even have to use that much like I normally have to for other conditioners to be able to have super moisturized hair. Also like everyone else has already mentioned, it smells like fresh clean laundry!
5This conditioner and its corresponding shampoo are my all-time fave. The scent is what hooked me, but the silky finish it gives me hair is what keeps me coming back. I also really love the leave-in protector. Definitely want to try the body lotion version!

@cassuis_slay_knightfall: Problem is I cant >.> best I could do is drop Serenity in the problem there is that Serenity should be reserved for next round. Because right now weve got one fight not even started
@icarusflies: @cassuis_slay_knightfall: @jaegerjaquez @marcus_korah
Im considering starting round 3 on Wensday as round 2 is well less then successful on 3/4 the battles. Granted that other 1/4 is Marcus and Jaegar which has been awesome
If she could, Anya would soooo back out now, even if she won (hmmm). Now she's faced true danger and victory feels so unlikely.
I've had some things pop up in RL that have kept me from posting lately, but I should have one up by tomorrow at some point should you decide not to start the next round. If you do, then I may or may not depending on whether I advance xD
@marcus_korah: @cassuis_slay_knightfall: @jaegerjaquez: @icarusflies: Apologize for delay I've been sick and its been a strain really to do any writing. Will start round 3 though tonight

@dr_frank: I'll let you know when I wake up. Now I've got a horrible sickness and I can't function at max capacity at the moment.
Get well soon :-(
Just a heads up, I WILL NOT be able to post until Monday. I have my mega final paper to do this weekend, and that's going to need all my writing focus.
@_strigidae_: .......
You vs Serinity? make a actual final fight happen >;)
nobody was posting before I could remind I fell off the earth. Could even look to restarting the last match
@_strigidae_: I cant feel comfortable saying someone won by default even if I <3 em
However we could do the Final Round if you wanted.
Or if you wanted we could try and get the round we were on restarted.
@614azrael: Probably lose anyway, but I'll fight totality. Though for some reason your last page doesn't exist to me, don't know why.
@614azrael: Little cat girl, not experienced with fighting or use of power. Scared to die. Just things to keep in mind. >.>
@_strigidae_: @cassuis_slay_knightfall: @icarusflies

@614azrael: I'am not happy i don't have the time. Its why i restrict what i'am in. Will just creatively throw a few things
I forget who my enemy is.
Think I'll play it safe for now.
Since everyone else is busy with KOV, let me have this small......
Since everyone else is busy with KOV, let me have this small......
