Dr. Young is one of the world's largest producers and distributors of organically grown therapeutic-grade essential oils. On his farms in Idaho and Utah, he grows and distills his own essential oils. He designed all the harvesting, cultivating and planting equipment himself and has the largest privately owned distilleries in the world, producing the finest quality oils that have been produced in the world bar none. After an injury confined him to a wheelchair, he entered a search for natural healing methods and not only healed himself, but discovered life-changing principles, which have opened up healing doors to countless others.
Most children are vaccinated three times by the time they enter grade school, the first in infancy, the second before kindergarten and then re-vaccination before entering Grade 1. The accumulation of these vaccines is what is killing our children and suppressing their immune systems. Are children dying of vaccinations? Absolutely.
My research team has gone to the courts in various states with court orders under the Freedom of Information Act to get information on vaccine contamination that the universities would not release. These documents show that vaccines reduce our immunity in many important ways because they contain many chemicals and heavy metals like mercury and aluminum which are themselves immune suppressing. Mercury actually causes changes in lymphocyte activity. Epidemics and increase in death rates follow vaccinations in every country.
This information is not unknown to our government agencies. The pharmaceutical companies push these vaccines so they can line their pockets with billions and billions of dollars while these vaccinations are injuring and killing people. Five drug companies made nine vaccines given to millions of American children - they used materials with possible Mad Cow links, and this continued for seven years before they even investigated it! It is terrible what's going on and they are claiming that this is necessary to protect your children. It is nothing but a fraudulent activity against the people.
There are options or alternative ways to prevent these diseases. There is no reason for vaccinations. If your immune system were not capable of defending you against these diseases, you wouldn't be here in the first place. You have an immune system. God gave it to you and God knew what you were going to deal with when he created this world and created us.
TUBERCULOSIS Graphs show that the tuberculosis virus itself was on a steady and gradual decline. It was eliminating itself from the world, until they introduced vaccines, and now it's on the rise.
TETANUS The Tetanus vaccine was introduced in the Dominican Republic in l975, and graphs showed a rise in the death rate along with inflammations and immune suppression. Tetanus was on a steady decline until they re-introduced the vaccine.
MEASLES The same thing. Measles eradicated itself and declined steadily until they re-introduced the vaccine for measles and now it's starting to climb again.
DIPHTHERIA Here we see the same thing again. Diphtheria went way up and then it slowly started declining until they introduced the vaccine again and then there was a steady increase. Going back in time, we see that the disease was basically eradicated before the vaccine was introduced.
WHOOPING COUGH When the whooping cough vaccine was introduced, we see a delay period of 5 to 10 years where it has to accumulate in the body, starts suppressing immune function and then the next generation of children are born and whooping cough is on the rise again. This happens in every single case, not just 1 out of 10, but every case.
SCARLET FEVER had declined before the introduction of immunization.
DPT (Diphtheria, Pertussin, Tetanus) This vaccine is given to children within a year after they are born. Almost 50 years ago in 1948 two Harvard Medical School scientists, Randolph Byers and Frederick Moll, along with the FDA, carried out tests on DPT vaccines at Children's Hospital in Boston and concluded that severe neurological problems followed administration of DPT vaccines. The results of the tests were published in Pediatrics, a respected medical journal. They were ignored by the medical and pharmaceutical community, who had a vested financial interest in continuing the practice. In 1976, Charles Manclark, an FDA scientist, remarked that "the DPT vaccine had one of the worst failure rates of any product submitted to the Division of Biologics for testing." In 1992, the Institute of Medicine concluded that evidence is consistant with a casual relationship between DPT and acute encephalopathy. The neurological disorders that we now see are definitely increasing, as are death rates of children under 15 years from vaccines.
Avoid Flu Shots! - ALZHEIMER'S AND THE FLU VACCINE
ANTHRAX VACCINE sold by BioPort. Documented research shows that the anthrax vaccine is contaminated and in fact it doesn't work. It just destroys your immune system. Everyone gets panicky about anthrax. Have you ever been around a cow or a horse or on a farm? Anthrax is on every farm that exists in the world. So if you have ever been around a cow or a horse and you don't have anthrax, you have a natural immunity to it. So, why worry about being vaccinated? The best and the greatest safeguard you've got in the world is building a strong body and keeping it pure and clean. God said, "My spirit will not dwell in an unclean house."
AUTISM is related to mercury poisoning. Mercury is found in every vaccine. Mercury is a potent neurotoxin and infants and young children are very vulnerable to the impacts of mercury because it can affect the developing brain. Dr. Candice Pert, internationally recognized pharmacologist, said that there has been an increase in autism of 500% to 600% in the last ten years. Compared to 20 years ago, there is an increase of 1,000%! And the disease is appearing in certain new forms such as regressive forms of autism where the children are initially fine, but regress when they're about a year and a half old, around the time they get the vaccines. Many mothers believe that the vaccines are responsible.
Editor's Note. WASHINGTON, March 27, 2003/U.S. Newswire. A new study of mercury in childhood vaccines demonstrates that the doses are in excess of the Federal Safety Guidelines and show alarming evidence for a link between these excessive doses of mercury from thimerosal-containing vaccines and neurodevelopment disorders such as autism and speech disorders as well as heart disease. Those are the findings of the study published in the current issue of the peer-reviewed Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons authored by Mark Geier, MD, PhD, President of the Genetic Centers of America and David Geier. The authors also conclude that the U.S. should ban the use of thimerosal in all vaccines. The authors point to exploding rates of autism since introduction of thimerosal in vaccines.
Your body is a temple of God and when you vaccinate it, you have just violated it with the worst sin on the planet. How can you be a vessel when you put that deadly poison inside God's temple?
Your skin is the largest absorbing organ of the entire body. What you put on your skin will be on it all day long absorbing and going into your blood stream. Folks, if you're not going to eat it, then don't wear it.
Do you brush your teeth with a toothpaste from the drug store? It's cheap, only $l.49. Then you spend the rest of your life going to the dentist paying thousands of dollars, and you wonder why you get flu, head colds, head congestion, failing eyesight and polyps in the nose. A major ingredient in a common standard toothpaste is sodium laurel sulfate which was created for degreasing engines on automobiles. It's a deadly toxic substance. Every single common toothpaste, shampoo, bar soap, shaving foam, after-shave, and lipstick contains sodium laurel sulfate. It is a very cheap material that is the base for most of the other ingredients. Researchers have linked sodium laurel sulfate with major allergies in children.
Another chief ingredient in skin and hair products is propylene glycol. Every single agent in these hair conditioners and other products are deadly chemicals with severe side effects. It's the same thing with shampoo. Sodium laurel sulfate is at the top of the list, and then propylene glycol, and yellow #5, SD&C Red artificial colourings. These are all known allergens. How many people go to the doctor every year and have allergy shots because they have allergies and they don't know why.
Allergies are not a disease. Allergies are nothing more than your body saying, "I'm saturated with all these chemicals! Would you please just take me out and shoot me. I can't deal with it anymore". So it has a reaction. It hopes that you will just stop putting this crap on and into your body. Detoxify your body and your allergies are history.
Diaper ointment contains benzyl alcohol, paraffin, glycerol and propylene glycol. Are these not petrochemicals? Has anybody ever had anti-freeze on their hands? It burns like crazy. Propylene glycol is cheap. It's a stabilizer, a preservative, and it takes up anywhere from 50 to 60% of the ingredient volume! That's what's in your diaper ointment.
Don't put chemicals on your children. Love your children enough to either give them something pure or don't give them anything more than water. Don't let your body get chemicalized and the receptor sites impeded so that you can't replicate healthy living cells.
Become label readers. Start educating yourselves. We don't need chemicals, and we don't need drugs. We need what God created when he created this Earth. He gave us all the tools that we need to sustain life and protect us from these marauding diseases and viruses that have been created by man for money.
Old people in certain primitive countries like Hunza Land, Azerbaijan and Vilcabamba in Equador, were able to live to l40 and l60 years of age because they knew a few secrets. These people don't vaccinate their children. They don't take flu vaccines. They don't run to the doctor and the hospital every time the wind blows sideways. They do the things that they were taught by their ancestors. If they start feeling a little sick, they go off some food. Ever watch a dog when he gets sick? What does he do? He quits eating and he goes and starts eating grass. But what do we do when we get sick? Go to the hospital and get treated with jello and ice cream and 7-Up with seven teaspoons of sugar.
I visited these cultures and met people 100, 140, 160 years of age without a single thing wrong with them, still able to read the newspaper without glasses. All the people I met in these countries were farmers. They work and labour in the fields, chopping wood, milking cows, scrubbing clothes, moving the lymphatic fluid. They're still farming the old way, with a hand scythe, with horses or donkeys or oxen and they don't use chemicals. Chemicals are what's killing all of us. They're exercising, not a half-hour a day at the gym, but all day long, and the exercise stimulates the production of Human Growth Hormone. These people never had colds or coughs in their entire lives. Their eyes are bright, their skin is clear. They go mountain climbing at 130.
There are no secrets but there are lost and forgotten ways of life. In every country that I have visited, these old people all practiced fasting every year in the springtime for 30 days. It's not a total fast. They fast from daylight until dark and then they drink juices or eat fruit or vegetable soup during the evening.
During fasting, Human Growth Hormone secretes more than at any other time of your life. The only exception is during strength training where your body will produce even more Human Growth Hormone. Human growth hormone is the modulator for the immune system to keep you healthy and vital.
The other thing that is really critical is they eat foods that contain phos-phatidylserine compounds that are found in soy and foods that are high in Vitamin C.
The Inner Mongolian people actually have the longest history of continual longevity. One thousand years ago, their life expectancy was 120 years. Today their life expectancy is 120 years. It is the only country left in the world where the life expectancy has not declined with the introduction of the American diet. In Hunza Land, their life expectancy has dropped from 160 years to under l00 years. When I was there last year, all of the old people that I had met years ago were all dead. There are no more old people in Hunza Land and never will be ever again. The children had runny noses and were drinking soda pop. The great-great- great grandparents had never tasted soda pop in their lives. They wouldn't touch it, and it tore their hearts out to see their grandchildren and great-grandchildren eating these things they knew would kill them.
Essential oils were man's first medicine and they were used thousands of years ago. For many years, I believed that herbs were man's first medicine, but recent discoveries from Egyptian and Chinese scrolls show that oils were actually our first medicine. Herbs evolved as medicine when the peasants and slaves observed royalty using the oils with great success. Since they were restricted from using the oils, they started boiling and steeping the herbs and making teas and poultices.
Open your Bible to the book of Exodus and read about essential oils. Throughout the Bible it talks of these various oils and how they were used to protect the people. Hyssop is anti-viral and was used for cleansing the lepers and healing leprosy. Over 40 biblical references are written on hyssop alone. The garments smelled of myrrh and aloe which was sandalwood, not aloe vera. These oils contained anti-viral, anti-fungal and immune stimulating properties.
HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE The anterior pituitary secretes two hormones that are very important for immune function: TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) and HGH (Human Growth Hormone). Deprivation of oxygen reduces the secretion of TSH and HGH by the anterior pituitary and increases depression. TSH and HGH play a joint role in modulating the immune function, which is very critical.
Lavender Oil Our lavender field in St. Mary's produces the greatest lavender oil in the world. Lavender oil contains phenols which contain oxygen molecules which increases the Human Growth Hormone outlets in the anterior pituitary. All you have to do is just breathe it. Very, very simple.
Peppermint oil contains phenols. All you have to do is breathe it to increase the secretion of Human Growth Hormone. Human Growth Hormone is produced by the anterior pituitary, is converted in the liver to IGF-l and then goes to the pancreas to support immune function. Peppermint oil also contains sesquiterpenes which increase oxygen activity in the brain. European research shows that sesquiterpenes increase brain oxygen by as much as 21 to 28%.
Lemon oil is anti-infectious and anti-bacterial and has Vitamin P-like action for circulation. It is calming to the nerves and stomach. It is good for diabetes because it helps regulate pancreatic function and insulin production. It is a great disinfectant and should be in the medicine cabinets in all hospitals. It can be used for respiratory infections, insufficient liver function and digestive conditions.
Thyme Oil is a mono-terpene and is very, very high in thymol which contains oxygen molecules that increase oxygen output in the brain. It's anti-microbial, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral and has a wide spectrum of action against fungus and virus. It's a uterine tonic and cardiotonic. Thymol can be used for sinus, osteoarthritis, bronchitis, cystitis, vaginitis, acne, cardiac fatigue, just simple little things.
Cloves have the highest known anti-oxidant properties.
Longevity oil I created this because of its anti-oxidant properties. People in countries that have great longevity eat foods high in anti-oxidants. This oil blend contains thyme, a powerful anti-oxidant which prevents degeneration in the brain, eyes and heart according to research in Scotland and Austria.
Longevity kit - This kit contains ingredients that are essential to supporting Human Growth Hormone output, conversion and assimilation, maintenance of proteins and the activity of enzymes in the body.
Wolfberry Juice is a natural anti-oxidant that has preserved the longevity of people in Inner Mongolia who today have maintained the most consistent life expectancy free of disease. The Natural Science Institute in Beijing, China began a study in 1982 and researchers who went there did not find cancer, arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, MS, or any degenerative disease amongst the people in the villages where Wolfberry was consumed on a daily basis. Wolfberry contains 15% protein by weight and three times as much vitamin C as oranges.
NingXiaRed Juice One ounce is equivalent to 1/4 to 1/2 a pound of berries. When I went to Inner Mongolia to do my research, people who ate between one-quarter to one-half a pound of Wolfberries daily were disease free and had never experienced disease in eleven generations that we could research.
Ultra Young - is a spray for the bucal cavity with the Wolfberry Lycium Polysaccharide which stimulates the production of Human Growth Hormone.
CORTISOL gets rid of waste. The common factor that allows people to live to be 150 years old disease-free is cortisol and the foods that produce cortisol. But when you're under stress, the cortisol levels increase, and when cortisol is too high it blocks the HGH receptors and therefore depresses the immune function. Three cups of coffee a day will raise your cortisol levels to a high point for 18 hours and suppress your immune system during that time. Seven teaspoons of sugar will increase your cortisol levels by 300 to 400 times. The latest research in the U.S. shows that the average child consumes 40 tsp. of sugar per day. One can of soda pop contains seven to 12 tsp. sugar. Chocolate does the same thing in any form. One 30 mg. tablet of Prozac will double your cortisol levels. Vaccines increase cortisol. Phos-phatidylserine, a compound found in vitamin C in citrus and fruits high in vitamin C works as a natural cortisol blocker.

Converting noise into electrical energy

If you shout into a loudspeaker cone, the electrical energy it will produce can drive a distant earphone. With a jet engine a few metres away, the energy level would be a bit higher than that but you could only intercept a small fraction of what the engine is producing.
This article -
gives you some idea of the flow of sound energy.
60dB, which corresponds to 'normal conversation', corresponds to 1 microWatt per square metre.
120dB is around a nearby Jet engine noise level and would correspond to just 1W per square metre.
Allowing for inefficiency in any transducer you were using, this would probably end up as 0.1W of useful electrical energy. As a way of re-using 'lost' noise energy it seems to be pretty poor value, unfortunately.
It is actually amazing what a very good job your ears do, when you think that 0dB corresponds roughlt to the threshold of hearing. A millionth of a normal conversation level can just be detected.

Ok, be honest -- how many times have you looked at the messes left behind by your kids and thought, "Ugh. Why do I always have to be the one to do everything? Can't they pick up after themselves?"
Yeah, I'm guilty of it too. It's only natural for moms to get so caught up in the things that aren't perfect in our daily lives -- that we fail to see the beauty in the clutter and disorganization.
Earlier this morning, I walked into our mudroom and tripped over my 6-year-old son's tiny sneaker. I looked down at it and immediately cracked a smile -- because I was just so incredibly happy to see that little shoe lying there.
And right after that, I literally looked up to the heavens and thanked God for the beautiful mess of shoes, hats, mittens, and coats cluttering up my mudroom.
Until recently, I would've griped and moaned after tripping over that shoe as I frantically tried to tidy up the "mess." But today, I looked at it much differently. Instead of being a burden that I need to clean up, I suddenly saw that mess as a symbol of life coming and going in and out of my house on any given day of the week -- and I'm vowing to never, ever take it for granted again.
But I'm not going to stop there. Here are 20 other gorgeous little "messes" I am going to embrace, appreciate, and be thankful for from here on out.
What little messes will you stop taking for granted?
Image via Mary Fischer
This is really nice. It does put a new perspective on things. Thank you for this.
Love this!
I personally don't find any of these a pain and that is only because I realize my daughter is going to be my last baby so I will not experience these little messes in my life ever again. You never know what is going to happen in your life so when you have that little chance to realize this is your last chance you don't take it for granted you take every little hit with a smile and tons of love.
Watching their favorite shows with them even though I can't stand them, the sibling rivalry, food dropped and then promptly eaten off the floor/ground, getting their colds because they need mommy snuggles, I could go on.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.

Physician Abuse: The Dark Side of Medicine
"In retrospect the warning signs in my own case were clear. Verbal abuse had become routine and was being ignored. The spirit of cooperation that usually exists between medical (and nursing) staff and [the family] had broken down and it had become increasingly difficult to manage the patient," he writes.
Ashton's story rings true for Arthur Z. Berg, MD, assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard University.
"In almost every incident that I have heard about there is the usual story -- 'it seemed to come out of the blue' -- and when it is investigated further, it has never come out of the blue. It shows the power of denial," says Berg, who teaches threat management to healthcare workers and law enforcement officers.
Berg, who served on a violence task force impaneled by the American Psychiatric Association, also decries the lack of attention paid by U.S. medical schools and institutions to the problem of violence against physicians, a problem he says is more widespread than suspected. Attacks against physicians who provide abortions "make news," he says, yet they reflect a tiny percentage of the abuse suffered by all physicians at the hands of patients or their relatives.
"The other big problem is there are no good statistics," he says. "The numbers get buried with the doctors."
Carl Bell, MD, a psychiatrist and vice chairman of the American Psychiatric Association's task force on violence, tells WebMD that Mackin's findings are somewhat unexpected and will serve a useful purpose in "laying it on the table" to alert other pediatricians. Bell also encourages physicians to be more active in determining which patients may be a threat and to warn them in advance that any inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated.
But patients and relatives of patients must do their part and not sit silent, growing ever more angry, if they are having a conflict with the physician, says Bell.
"I think communication is the key. It is a relationship issue. If the doctor is not providing good leadership, the patient needs to provide good leadership. The doctor works for you, and you can always fire [him or her] and get another one," he says.

Found August 15, 2013 on The Victory Formation:
PLAYERS: Billy Donovan
Zach Hodskins is one of the best three-point shooters in America, but isn't receiving scholarship offers from any big-time college programs. His 60% clip isn't enough, even though that is nearly 15-20% better than most top shooters in college. The reason is because Hodskins is missing a hand. But that doesn't mean he doesn't have a shot at playing for one of the best programs in the nation. Florida Gators head coach Billy Donovan has offered Hodskins a preferred walk-on deal in Gainesville. That means Hodskins has a spot on the roster for the 2014-15 season, though he would have to pay his own way. Hodskins's former basketball coach David Boyd confirmed the offer on Twitter: @scoutsfocus I spoke to Coach John Pelfrey of U of F, and he confirmed that Zach has been offered the preferred walk-on status. #awesome — David Boyd (@DavidBoydhoops) August 7, 2013 This is pretty extraordinary, as we haven't seen many athletes at a high-level that have a disability like this. The first that comes to mind is Jim Abbott, who played college baseball for the University of Michigan and then was drafted by the Angels. He even pitched a no-hitter while a member of [...]

A Guide To Avoiding Burnout
Hi, my name is Dave Nassaney; I am an author of numerous books and articles, speaker, life coach, and radio talk-show host for caregivers who are burned out, but my most important role is being a caregiver to my lovely wife, Charlene. My latest book that I am now working on is entitled: "The Caregiver's Caregiver, A Guide to Avoiding Burnout & Surviving Grief." It is designed to teach caregivers who are taking care of their loved ones (due to an illness or disability) how to take care of themselves FIRST. If they don't learn this, they will likely suffer burnout and become as helpless as the person they are caring for.Why am I so qualified to be "The Caregiver's Caregiver" you might ask? Well, as I have mentioned, I too am a caregiver to my wife since 1996, when she suffered a massive stroke for no apparent reason. As a result, she lost her speech and has not spoken in sentences since. She is also paralyzed on the right side of her body. Charlene was like a cross between Martha Stewart and Wonder Woman before her stroke. After a two year grieving period, she came to the realization that she had to "play the cards that she was dealt," and so she decided to reinvent herself.
She now makes us normal people look like whiners and complainers. She continues to do almost everything she did before her stroke, but in essence, she does it with one arm and one leg tied behind her back, and duct tape over her mouth, and she does it all with her amazing positive attitude. She has her own powerful story which I told in my first book, "One Arm One Leg 100 Words, Overcoming Unbelievable Hardships". My job is to help caregivers to avoid burnout & survive grief.
This website has been developed to help stroke survivors overcome obstacles, adversity, and burnout, as well as just having a place to rest and relax. Take a break and allow this site to encourage you in your difficult journey. Check out the helpful links for stroke survivors and caregivers. Watch our videos and read our articles and our first book that is still getting rave reviews: "One Arm One Leg 100 Words, Overcoming Unbelievable Hardships."

The Next Time Someone Says the Internet Killed Reading Books, Show Them This Chart
"Remember the good old days when everyone read really good books, like, maybe in the post-war years when everyone appreciated a good use of the semi-colon? Everyone's favorite book was by Faulkner or Woolf or Roth. We were a civilized civilization. This was before the Internet and cable television, and so people had these, like, wholly different desires and attention spans. They just craved, craved, craved the erudition and cultivation of our literary kings and queens.
Well, that time never existed. Check out these stats from Gallup surveys. In 1957, not even a quarter of Americans were reading a book or novel. By 2005, that number had shot up to 47 percent. I couldn't find a more recent number, but I think it's fair to say that reading probably hasn't declined to the horrific levels of the 1950s."

Microsoft's Would-Be iPhone — Circa 1991
In our May 2012 issue, contributing editor Joe Hagan profiled Microsoft veteran Nathan Myhrvold, who retired in 1999 after serving 14-years as Bill Gates' personal tech visionary. Since leaving Microsoft, Myhrvold has lived a nerd fantasy, digging up T. rexes and producing a cookbook only a mad scientist could love.
During his years at the computing giant's Redmond, Washington headquarters, Myhrvold described in precise terms what the future of computing would look like. More often that not, he was pretty damned accurate: In 1991, while serving as the company's chief visionary, Myhrvold predicted the emergence of an iPhone-like device down to the smallest detail, describing a "digital wallet" that would consolidate personal communication — telephone, schedule manager, notepad, contacts, and a library of music and books — all in one.
Rarely seen outside of Myhrvold's inner circle, this sketch of Microsoft's would-be iPhone portrayed a gadget that could record and archive everything you asked it to, he surmised. "The cost will not be very high," wrote Myhrvold. "It is pretty easy to imagine a $400 to $1,000 retail price." Microsoft, however, was too cost conscious and risk averse to execute his vision. "Hey, it was better than predicting the wrong thing," Myhrvold says now.
For more information about Myhrvold, his tenure at Microsoft, and his newfound passion for molecular gastronomy, read Joe Hagan's "How a Geek Grills a Burger" here.

Is Your Hand Sanitizer Hijacking Your Fertility?
There's rising concern about a connection between fertility problems and an all-too-common chemical in antibacterial soaps and hand sanitizers
If you've got a bottle of hand sanitizer in your purse and car and have a house full of antibacterial soap, listen up, germophobe! Your quest to stay germ-free may be noble, but the products you're using might be putting a bug in your plans to have a baby.
After 40 years of years of silence on the subject, the US Food and Drug Administration is finally set to decide this year whether triclosan—the active ingredient in many brands of hand-sanitizers, some gingivitis-fighting toothpastes, and an estimated 75 percent of antibacterial liquid soaps and body washes sold in the US—is harmful to human fertility.
Renewed concern about the chemical was triggered by recent studies which showed that triclosan exposure increased risk for reproductive hormone problems in animals. In one study, for example, triclosan decreased levels of testosterone and sperm production in male rats; in female rats, altered levels of estrogen were detected.
Should you be concerned? According to the FDA, at this time, "triclosan is not currently known to be hazardous to humans, but several scientific studies have come out … that merit further review. However, data showing effects in animals don't always predict effects in humans."
Whatever the FDA report turns up on the chemical, some companies aren't taking any chances. As the Huffington Post reports, Johnson & Johnson has already pledged to remove triclosan from all of its adult products by the end of 2015. The company also says that none of its baby products currently contain the ingredient. To find out if your antibacterial products contain triclosan, carefully check the ingredients list.
In light of all this, many people are asking whether antibacterial products are even necessary. This question may be a little easier to answer, thanks to data compiled by the University of Michigan and other universities that show antibacterial soaps and related products made with triclosan are no more effective at preventing illness or reducing bacteria on the hands than good ol' soap and water.
Even the FDA and US Centers for Disease Control agree—the simplest way to keep germs and bacteria at bay is to scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds with regular soap and warm water. If soap and water are not available, the CDC recommends using hand-sanitizer made with alcohol or ethanol instead of chemicals like triclosan.
In Florida, Becky Ames, who works as a home health aide, and is currently trying to conceive her first child, says she is taking a second look at her products—and not taking anymore shortcuts with hand washing.
"In a typical day at work, I may need to wash my hands at least 20 to 30 times. I sometimes use heavy duty hand sanitizer when I'm in the middle of something, but now I'm rethinking this," Ames explains. "At most, I save only a minute by not going to the sink to wash my hands. Since I'm trying to have a baby and want to be the healthiest I can be, the extra time is worth it."
How can you make sure you're reaching the 20-second mark when you wash your hands? Easy: lather up and scrub while singing or humming "Happy Birthday" to yourself twice, and then rinse.

March 13, 2014 By: Will Verduzco
Earlier today, we talked about how the Replicant team found a potential backdoor in Samsung's proprietary radio software. As demonstrated in a proof-of-concept attack, this allowed certain baseband code to gain access to a device's storage under a specific set of circumstances. But upon closer inspection, this backdoor is most likely not as bad as it was initially made out to be.
A few hours after posting our previous article on the alleged backdoor, a highly respected security expert who wishes to remain anonymous approached us, stating that the way in which the proof-of-concept attack was framed by the Replicant team was a bit misleading. Essentially, it boils down to the POC requiring a modified firmware with with security features disabled. Thus, if a user is running an updated version of the official firmware, this attack will not work. To that end, the Replicant team even states in their write-up that SELinux would considerably restrict the potential files that the modem can access, such as those on the /sdcard partition.
Now, another highly trusted security researcher (XDA Recognized Developer djrbliss) has gone on record with Ars, stating that there's "virtually no evidence" that this is indeed a true backdoor, although his reasons are a bit different. There is absolutely no indication at this time that the baseband file access can be controlled remotely. Rather, this is only a "possibility," since the baseband software is proprietary. Instead, it's far more likely that this was only ever intended to write radio diagnostic files to the /efs/root directory, as that is is the radio user's home directory.
In summary, we shouldn't rush to replace our Samsung phones just yet. There is absolutely no evidence to state that this can be controlled remotely. And even if it were possible, using SELinux, which is set to Enforcing in stock firmware, would restrict the radio user's access.

You may recall that about five months ago, we touched upon a study demonstrating how OEM modifications are the primary cause for most "Android" security issues. Unfortunately, we offer yet another example of OEM-caused security issues—but this time, it's not because of an OEM skin or bloatware. Rather, this is a potential vulnerability at a far deeper level: proprietary modem software.
The OEM in question is none other than Samsung, the Android ecosystem's largest and most successful device manufacturer, and the backdoor itself comes as proprietary radio software. This software is responsible for communicating with the modem hardware, and is capable of implementing RFS commands. These RFS commands are then able to perform I/O operations on the device's storage.
No big deal, right? I'll just load CyanogenMod and be done with it. Wrong.
Since the cause is a proprietary radio software, changing to an aftermarket ROM will not solve anything, so long as the ROM uses Samsung's proprietary blobs. In fact, the Replicant team used Galaxy Note II and Galaxy S III devices running CM10.1 to demonstrate how this was ROM-agnostic.
Currently the list of known affected devices includes the Galaxy S, Galaxy S II, Galaxy Note, Galaxy Tab 2, Galaxy S III, and Galaxy Note II, but it's highly likely that many other Samsung devices are vulnerable. Furthermore, this also seems to affect the Samsung-built Google Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus, as this is a back door at the radio software level, rather than as a part of an OEM skin. Whatsmore, on certain devices, this incriminated process runs as root.
While it is entirely possible that there is a legitimate reason for this backdoor, it's hard to envision a scenario where one would be necessary. As such, it would be great to hear Samsung's official statement on the matter. Until then, perhaps it would be a good idea to look into fully open source projects like Replicant, or at the very least, building an aftermarket kernel capable of blocking (and logging) RFS command requests.

There is not one specific area or place where asbestos is found. Because it was used in the production of so many construction and consumer products for most of the 20th century, any building or product made during that time could potentially contain inhalable asbestos fibers. While some buildings built before 1980 used more asbestos products in their construction than ones that are built today, there is still no guarantee that a new building doesn't contain some type of asbestos product.
Some professions that require the regular handling of asbestos products do carry a higher risk of asbestos exposure. Some of these professions include construction workers, miners, and auto mechanics. Military veterans and ship builders traditionally have the highest risk of asbestos exposure, and have accounted for up to 33 percent of all mesothelioma cases, according to some studies.

Kasim Reed's shtick at home is one of bipartisan cooperation with Republicans inside the state Capitol.
But when he is on NBC's "Meet the Press" – today was what, his fourth appearance this year? – the mayor of Atlanta isn't on camera to appeal to the middle. Reed is there to do damage on behalf of President Barack Obama.
This morning, Reed was out to highlight GOP dissatisfaction with Mitt Romney in particularly Southern terms:
Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
From the transcript:
Kasim Reed: The best analysis of this election this year that I've heard was from a Republican friend that I was having dinner with. He said that this guy is defective. He said he's like being a– a bad NASCAR driver on a rich team. He said no matter how good the car is, no matter how bad the pit crew is, the driver has got to drive the car. And this guy puts it on the wall every single time. He puts it…
Bay Buchanan: If he shows…
Reed: …no, no, no, wait a minute, ma'am, I'll let you speak. He puts it on the wall when he says let GM go bankrupt. He puts it on the wall when he says let 47 percent of the people. I don't have to concern– concern myself with. He puts it on the wall when he travels across seas, goes to the U.K., offends one of our strongest allies. He repeatedly puts it on the wall and makes mistakes. And that's why we're where we are 44 days out.
One question that stands out: Who's this Republican friend that Reed has dinner with?

Kasim just shows when it comes down to it, he is just as much of a BS'ing hack as the next politician. If Romney is a bad driver, Obama never made it to the track. Romney has a lifetime of success at every step of his 60 something years. Obama's only success is winning elections. Kasim is more concerned with scoring points with Obama than any intellectual honesty (well, that and the usual Atlanta activities of airport graft, and spending tax money on laughable things like streetcars as the infrastructure crumbles).

Saw that. Mayor Reed did an outstanding job, especially when he called Bay "Ma'am" when she tried to interrupt him. Gov. Deval Patrick had all he could do stay calm with Romneybot, Sen. Ayotte. But he managed. Kudos to them both!

For an ex-CEO / ex-GOVERNOR I really don't get MITT, he's acting as if its the first time he's going into politic.

6:01 pm
Slice of Atl: I agree. This was the second time I have hear Bay Buchanan telling us what Romney meant. The question is why doesn't he say what he means. Conservatives have hounded this president about using a teleprompter. I hope Romney now understands why one is important. When you are on the big stage (and behind closed doors) everything a "president" says is measured. The saying loose lips sinks ships has never been so true.
I can see a war starting because Romney blurts out anything to appease the far right wing of his party. He may be a nice enough man but he lacks the ability to be decent because the Tea Party believes the only way to get street creeds is to insult the opposing party. They call it political correctness, most decent folks call it "old fashioned manners".

What else left for the arrogant,secrecy mitt Romney if his cronic Gop start distance themselves from the pathetic politician who say he care less for 47% american because hes not expect their vote not to mention his lack domestic and foreign affairs and.think is the best candidate for president .Scripture teach us From the abundant of the heart the mouth speaketh

If you vote for a Republican Senator or Representative, you are voting for the do-nothing filibuster Mcconnell(even killed veterans jobs bill with help of Senators Chambless , 39 other republicans about 3 days ago.(see c-span).
You are also voting for Ryan Budget 2011(all republicans voted to give you a voucher for medicare, cut medicaid for nursing home seniors/disabled and health for poor children , low earning workers/unemployed children, cut 17 billion from veterans etc. They included a 5 trillion tax cut for the wealthy once they cut the entitlements(medicare, medicaid, food stamps,etc.)
Rommey said 47% of Americans who do not pay income tax(includes veterans, military, senior, low paid workers) think they are victims and entitled to healthcare, food etc from government. 41% of Georgians are in this group as well as most Republican red voting states in Southeast. Look on c-span for Rommey video 5/14/12 and Ryan's Budget and check votes by people you voted for. This is how Republicans really feel about you, it lines up with their votes. You may have to get groups together and write in same name if you do not have anyone running against republican after you look at his votes. Watch out for your own pocketbook, do not listen to lies from Rove's Crossroads and others trying to buy your vote.

Mayor Reed…you were being interrupted for telling the truth…that's the last thing the Republicans want to hear…and where is the momentum Ms Buchanan was referring to for the Romney campaign? If this past week is what they call momentum, please keep it coming. SNL is having a record season this year! I don't know which lady is having a brain fart…Ms. Buchanan or Ms Coulter…well, in Ann's case, diarrhea of the brain.

I agree with City of Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed and others NASCAR analysis of GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
When President Barack Obama took over the steering wheel the engine (economy) was sputtering and the wheels were wobbly and about to fall off.
The United States was facing the BIGGEST economic crisis since the Great Depression.
President Obama has managed to stabilize the engine and re-align the wheels. The car has started to run smoother and is beginning to pick -up speed.
Now is not the time to change drivers especially since the new driver represent the same people who drove the car into the wall.
We pray and HOPE for the re-election of President Barack Obama !!!

Well Kasim, you must be classified and a "bad mayor" or should we say a "mayor wannabee". How you got elected is still a mystery.
September 23rd, 2012

Yes Mr.Mayor, You are willing to stand before the cameras on Mitt, but where are you on Governor Deal's denial of President Obama's Medicaid expansion program? Thousands of Atlanta's citizens needs some one to STAND UP for them on their non existent HEALTHCARE. What about a showing for MEET THE NEEDS OF ATLANTA and her CITIZENS. You are AWOL!

Mayor Reed is a hands-on Mayor. Like or dislike his beliefs or policies, Reed puts his heart into it and follows up with it. Refreshing to see this, as Eric Cantor, John Baynor, and Mitch McConnell are sandbagging and slacking in the US house and Senate.

@Mr. Camp, Hands on exactly WHAT, put his heart in WHAT? I don't know if he's in the graft of the airport, I doubt it. How's our transportation issues, what about one of the dirtiest cities in the usa..
NASCAR analogy, come on people, are YOU THAT stupid,must be APC product, oh by the way where is the MAYOR there. The economist recently reviewed Sandy Springs where people are moving because Lovely Atlanta is SO dysfunctional.Finally, where are we on the proposed new stadium, let's see what happens when the tax payers are asked to pick up part of the tab , should be fun. Why the Atlanta mayor is asked to be on these shows is most assuredly beyond me but if this is the best Southern mouthpiece he has pass the biscuts, because we shore in for an interesting ride…..

Super Pacs ,,Karl Rove's crossroads and koch bros American Prosperity and about 600 others with undisclosed donors, millionaire, etc. I heard 75% of super Pac money was being used to tell lies/half-truths against democrats.

Greg Camp @ 8:32 pm – It pains me to write this, but You are right about the Mayor being hands on. He is always Hands ON to everything but to the needs of the citizens of ATLANTA. Hands on for Gov. DEAL and T_SPLOST. Hands on for Mr. BLANK and HIS New Stadium. Hands ON for bike & walking trails to benefit a very small group of citizens.
Mayor Reed, has been a CHURCH MOUSE when it come to the following.
No Hands for Medicaid Expansion support for the Poor & uninsured. No Hands for Road repair, No hands for infrastructure repair, No Hands for Litter Clean up ALL over the CITY. No hands nor support for the thousands of children of Atlanta when told their is NO SCHOOL BUS SERVICE available for them at the beginning of the Year. No Hands in providing workable solutions for aggressive Panhandling all around the CITY.
Atlanta needs a MAYOR in CHIEF. Right Now all we have is a CHEERLEADER in Chief, for whatever cause, that will help promote the person KASIM REED in whatever endeavors, that looks promising that comes his way.
lets ALL hope and PRAY that November, will provide a one way ticket to WASHINGTON,D.C. .
Atlanta will be a BETTER CITY again, because of it……….

Jim, thanks for a good column. Mayor Reed rocked it. As I live outside of ATL, I don't pay much attention to the city politics, & was not familiar with the mayor or his politics. So I have only seen him on MTP. Both times I have seen him there, he acquitted himself impressively.
Thanks, again, Jim. Please keep up your good work.

It sounds like Reed is a Democrat on the national and city level and a Republican on the state level. Which tells me he is a traditional politician who wants to play it any way that boosts his own political career. So if Georgia politics does not satisfy his narcissism then perhaps he can get a cabinet appt. from the President. I don't blame Obama for using him as a surrogate but let's be clear that to Reed it is really all about Reed all the time.
September 24th, 2012
12:50 am
Reed obviously either doesn't know Romney never said "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt" or he purposefully lies to support a President that is an utter and complete failure.
Romney said GM and Chrysler need to go through the bankruptcy process to restructure. At the time he said it, the government was handing them money to keep them in business. Romney said that wasn't a long-term solution and instead they must restructure. Guess what? About eight months later, GM and Chrysler restructured using the bankruptcy process and the exact perscription Romney proposed. Obama's minions, like Reid, ignore this fact and pretend that what Obama did was somehow different from what Romney told him he should do.
As for the headline "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt" that accompanied Romney's op-ed, those words were written, as headlines typically are, by the staff at the New York Times not by Mitt Romney himself. He never uttered those words so often attributed to him by the left.
Reid is either ignorant or purposfully misleading but either way, his rabid partisanship is the reason I refuse to go to his city and spend any money there anymore. No Braves games, no concerts, no evenings at the Fox, no intown restaurants. Nothing. As long as this hack leads the City of Atlanta, I'll stay away.
He really ought to think before he opens his mouth.

Kasim Reed is a political schizophrenic. He goes on Meet the Press and chats like he is running for something- cogent, articulate, abrasive, and commanding. Then we turn around and Atlanta is nominated for the 5th dirties city in the country.
He has no vision for the city other than cops and clerks. Potholes, and hoodlums run prolific. I am not suggesting that these problems are new to Atlanta's experience, but I am suggesting that Reed, as one of the young Turks of Democratic politics would have a little more inventiveness about addressing the municipal quagmire that is Atlanta.
I suppose Atlanta that I should get it through my head that just maybe he is all talk..

Much ado about nothing. You are going to vote for who you are going to vote for and so is the other side. NONE of this matters to us. The only thing that matters to the people that are undecided is the upcoming debates so the debates will decide this. That and the fact that the turnout and enthusiasm for Obama is significantly elss than it was in 2008. That and Obama is promising the same things now as he promised in 2008 is not a good sign because why should we believe you this time? We believed in unity, a deficit cut in half as stated Feb 2009 not a doubled debt, we believed when Obama said if unemployment was not under 6%, he would be looking at one term and its isnt close, letting our closest ally hang out to dry because he more worried abut how he looks to Muslims who want Americans, Christians and Jews DEAD is a very bad thing, being for gay marriage is extremely bad considering less than 3% of the population is gay and the rest of us believe in family and marriage between a man and a woman as God created being right according to God, not what gays lobby for as being right and acceptable….3% pushing their failure to resist on us? Shame on us for allowing that and shame on a LEADER who promotes it….This is the most important debates and election in the history if America. Big govt who we know does not manage anything well…can you imagine the customer service for our healthcare?! Bigger govt so they can waste more money, overspend, mismanage etc…or a limited govt who gets LESS of our money and LESS chance to blow it, waste it and screw up? I think LESS is BEST by far….I think WE know how to handle OUR money better than the govt. Nobody in this country is goign to starve or go without healthcare. Never have. Never will. If so people will be sued. Got food stamps, welfare already. USA gives you the chance to be free and the opportunity. But we are NOT here to pay for you to succeed. You got to go out, earn that money and have a plan. You get a chance and should be thankful for it. Its not fair to take from the successful to pay for others to maybe or maybe not squander those tax dollars. We need less govt, less taxes and some get up and go and drive. A new mentality of determination. Not an ENTITLEMENT mentality.
You are entitled to be free and to have a chance to go for it. just because your parents were not well to do does not entitle you to the money of people whose parents succeeded or they themselves succeeded. that is NOT America nor should it be…and its not fair to those who worked hard and sacrificed. Go to school and get qualified to make some decent money, save up, get some investors or however you can do it if you want to start a business and then do it when you are capable by your own merits and sacrifice and savings…not because the govt took from those who have to give to those who want the easy path instead of the hard one others took or that their parents took that paid dividends…how DARE that be the new America…it is NOT the govt's responsibility. I am a relatively poor person myself. I make $50,000k and have a family of 4 and mine is the only income. It was MY fault I did not sacrifice to go get college degrees, to make more money younger so I could do more with it to turn it into something bigger and better.
Bottomline….MUCH bigger govt to help people who dont want to sacrifice like is necessary to suceed and therefore will wastes billions on their own…or a MUCH smaller govt that has less of a chance to wastes our money? WELL….we ALL KNOW how govt screws up every program they run and it gets corrupted and money is WASTED in massive amounts and we ALL KNOW how the customer service is…..I will take a small govt that has less of our money to make govt people have retirement plans and benefits I dont have and that doesnt have the opportunity to waste and screw up with as much of our money….
DO you have ANY idea how much money the military wastes alone?! probably half a trillion a year in overspending, overpaying and overlapping. Throw in all the scams that are going on by people cheating the govt programs already…..
govt cant be trusted with our money by ANY stretch of the imagination….lets dont give them more because if we do its gone, its wasted and they will never want to stop taking it from us…..
The American way is not handouts and entitlements no matter who you are or where you came from…its about if you work hard, you have an opportunity to achieve and something might come of it. Not that we all will should be rich and none should ever be poor. ALL societies have poor people and always will. Always will have criminals and addicts and lazy people. Taking from the successful, giving it to the GOVT and trusting them to do whats best in an efficient and non-wasting way is a recipe for financial ruin of our nation and a raping of our citizens….tax and spend is actually tax and spend and waste….they already screw up with what they got and we get taxed so much already because of wastes and corruption and scams and govt contracts and spending fiascos…..we should NEVER give them MORE so they can take more of America;s money and lose it or fill peoples pockets illegally….because all this will happen. It ALWAYS HAS…..
work hard and sacrifice, make your own way. You have that chance in America. Grab it. Dont grab the money of people who have already sacrificed so you dont have to. B.S.

I really thought that Georgians had a little more sense than this trash talk I am reading. You folks really don't get it do you? Obama wants to push entitlement programs (unless you are one of my creditors, I do not owe any of you anything), turn this country into a socialist country (do so many of you really want government dicatating almost every aspect of your life-look up the definition), and he is trying to remove God and any mention of Him from every aspect of this country, yet he apologizes to muslims and the rest of the world for America's success. Funny how you democrats and liberals are so very fast to judge anyone not in your camp and condone Obama's critizing of the rich and wealth, but oh, wait just a minute now-who is it that your Obama is sucking up to for his campaign funds? The rich and wealthy! Talking about liars and two-faced.

Dodecahedron – Dodecahedron
Taken from Season Of Mist Website :
Swirling black chaos assembles into a sonic assault. Broken and torn structures born out of razor-like guitar riffs coagulate into melodies and patterns that constantly mutate and shape shift. Pure horror lurks in these Lovecraftian dimensions of inverted angles and escaping perspectives. DODECAHEDRON execute these atonal and dissonant monstrosities, which pose an ultimate technical challenge with a seeming ease that is simply jaw-dropping. Moments of bizarre aggression glide seamlessly into passages of cold threatening calm. DODECAHEDRON, who were formerly known as ORDER OF THE SOURCE BELOW emerge from The Netherlands with a clear vision of darkness that reaches post Black Metal. The avant-garde spheres charted by their album "Dodecahedron" have been opened by label mates MAYHEM with their groundbreaking release "Ordo Ad Chao" (2007) and further explored by brothers in spirit like DEATHSPELL OMEGA. DODECAHEDRON now follow their own path through this cosmic dark musical matter with a stellar artistic brilliance that will be hard to match. Get a bitter taste of the apocalypse and dive into "Dodecahedron".

Margaret L. Williams Center celebrates two milestones with family-friendly event
SYRACUSE, N.Y.— The Margaret L. Williams Developmental Evaluation Center has two reasons to celebrate. On Nov. 3, the center will mark its 30th anniversary and also the 7th anniversary of the Kohl's Autism & Related Disorders Program. With this most recent gift of $247,299, Kohl's Cares total giving for autism care in locally will surpass the $1 million mark.
The event will feature juggling, magic, singing, large puppetry and a family-friendly performance of "Lions & Tigers & Birds? Oh, My!" The performance will begin at 3:30 p.m. at the May Memorial Unitarian Universalist Society at 3800 East Genesee St. in Syracuse. All of the day's activities are designed for children and families affected by autism.
"We have a lot to celebrate and this event will allow us to do that with the people that matter most—the families we serve," said Carroll Grant, PhD, director of Margaret L Williams Developmental Evaluation Center. "It's humbling to think of how much the center has been able to further care and advocacy for children with autism throughout the 30 years we've been here.
And the generosity and support from the Kohl's Cares Foundation has been invaluable to us, helping us to reach more families and touch more lives. We are forever grateful."
The event is free and open to the public. Register in advance at Autismsyracuse.com or call 315-472-4404 for information.

Good Idea: Move Things Around
With the colder weather suddenly here, we're looking at a lot more days inside the apartment, and when it looks like our toddler just isn't interested in playing with any of her toys anymore, here's what we do...
it's a little trick we discovered when vacuuming. We naturally picked up a lot of her toys and the things in her play area in order to vacuum under them, and we decided to just move them all around afterwards. Now every time we vacuum, we mix things up a bit. It's the same idea as rotating toys, but with the larger objects in the room, and doesn't require you to put them away- just move them. We've always felt inspired by simply rearranging our furniture, so why wouldn't she?
Her tunnel from IKEA seems much more exciting when it's behind the sofa; her PB little chair faces the kitchen so she has a new view. It's amazing how excited she seems when she comes back into the room. She'll start to play with things she hadn't played with in weeks just because they're in a different spot. Suddenly, her world looks fresh and new, and it doesn't cost a penny, or require a space like the one pictured above!

Good idea!
Now where can I find that teepee?
The link in the photo credit says that the wigwam comes from Win Green. It doesn't look like they make that neutral design anymore. Their current selection is here: http://www.wingreen.co.uk/store/view/cat/id/21/wigwams/
this room is so sweet!
I do this almost every other day!
I move things around, add/remove things from the room, shuffle up the books and place the furniture in different places.
There are days where it's ALL stuffed animals, ALL books, things sorted into red/blue/green/yellow/orange baskets and other themed days.
I'm having to handle the things when they get tidied up at the end of the day anyways, so might as well have a bit of fun myself - not just when I vacuum. :)
This is great pattern for making your own teepee.
Funny--whenever we try to move toys or furniture, our toddler insists on putting everything back the way it was. I'm assuming it's partly a phase, and partly signs of a compulsive personality in the making...

How Fans Reacted To The 13 Doctors Saving Gallifrey [VIDEO]
Probably the highlight of 2013 for most Doctor Who fans was The Day of the Doctor, in which we got to know a new incarnation and see the return of the Tenth Doctor, played of course by David Tennant.
Yet while John Hurt, David Tennant and Matt Smith were hogging the limelight, it was the surprise appearance of all previous incarnations AND THE NEXT that set pulses racing (confession time, Kasterborites: I almost broke my wife's hand I was squeezing so tightly!)
The video above is an excellent compilation of various reactions of THAT moment from across YouTube, and it is well worth taking the time to watch it.
But, wait, dear reader: how did YOU react? Tell us in the comments!
(Via @JohnGuilor)
34 Responses to How Fans Reacted To The 13 Doctors Saving Gallifrey [VIDEO]
Ha ha – love moments like these. Grateful to all those who made this last year possible from Tranter, RTD, onwards
Yep, my reaction was pretty much the same; although I must confess the idea of filming myself staring at the television is not one that has ever entered my mind…
So glad Mr Moffat kept up the pretence that "oh, no, there are no Classic Series Doctors in the episode in any way, shape or form!"
And it's nice to see the young 'uns cheering both the Old Guard and the new arrival so enthusiastically!
Awesome. Love the apparently unfiltered and non-cynical joy.
I love these reaction videos. This and the reaction to Capaldi's first scene make me confident that he'll be fine with fans.
So they filmed themselves while watching it? I think these have been done after November 23rd, nice bit of drama ;o)
They pretty much nailed my reaction, first with Hartnell and especially Capaldi. That was maybe the ultimate jaw drop. The above reactions actually brought tears to my eyes. Such joy and yeah, I could definitely see some folks taping themselves watching just for giggles.
I must be getting old, my only thought at the time was "bit daft to use two different clips of McCoy eight years apart"!
I agree with Francis about the McCoy clips being different – that jarred for me, unless they're telling us that two different 7th Drs – i.e. one from either end of the 7th Dr's timestream – were helping out?
Otherwise, I love this moment. I watched it on a huge screen at the Excel 50th event on 23rd Novemeber, simultaneous with the BBC broadcast, with several hundred fans. There was an audible gasp from the crowd – and I think applause – when Capaldi appeared. There was a real 'hairs standing up on the back of your neck' gasp later, too – a 'can it be?' moment – when the back of Tom Baker's head appeared onscreen.
In the words of DI Greg Lestrade: "Bollocks!"
Er, why?
Admittedly, I ask that without having watched the video.
I was really pleased when all the dr's turned up at the end but I think filming your own reaction is just a bit over the top.
It is daft that people film themselves watching telly. It smacks of "Look at me, everybody, having a great time", rather than genuinely having a great time. Or should that be 'an awesome time', using the current cringeworthy vernacular?
*pulls sex face*
I was at my friends place coz they were having a party and I think I chewed her pillows into smithereens. I regret soooo much not filming myself now.
This video is fascinating. I have never (since I was a child) watched Doctor Who with another person. Every time I've seen an episode of the revived series, it's been just me, alone in a room. And I spend a lot of time on forums, where opinions are processed and considered (and often negative), and there's no sense of the visceral joy people might experience when watching it.
It's great to be given a sense of how other people react.
I didn't jump around screaming, but I was definitely very "OMG" about the Capaldi cameo. I was watching with my mom and I was like "It.. that was.. did you see… Aaaah!"
Would've been far more interesting to see them using the moment.
best bit: "oh for god sake, Gallifrey Stands!!!"
It was a struggle for me, bc my roommate was sleeping and there were several times I wanted to tell/cheer/shout for joy
I pretty much lost it at that point. The only way it could've been better is if I'd been watching with my old Whovian club (shoutout to the Archons of Albuquerque if you're still around after all these years)
I was fortunate to watch at the Excel Screening, and the entire theater erupted!!! It was awesome!
My reaction looked very much like the 2girls at the start of the video. Execpt there was a lot more screaming to my husband o my god, did you see that! My husband being a non whovian at this moment, was trying to calm me down. Hahahahaha
I watched it at the cinema in a rather conservative town, but there were definitely tears, screams, and clapping from me at the Capaldi moment!
I watched it at home with my brother and we were both pretty much silent with amazed looks on our faces laying down on the lounges. As soon as Capaldi appeared We both at the same moment shot up and yelled "Capaldi!"
I… may have squee'd a little. But I was watching in a packed cinema, and I was FAR from the only person doing so.
when i saw all thirteen doctors i think i couldve have been declared leagal insane for about 10 min i kinda lost my mind but in a good way moffat out did himself seriously
Loved it – maybe there's one for when Tom Baker showed up at the end????
Yep, that pretty much summarizes how I was feeling, including the screams. Such an intense moment in television history.
