Q: In Debian Gnome, windows are maximizing over multiple monitors This is my screen configuration:
      +----------------+----------------+
      |                |                |
      |                |                |        This is X Screen 1
      |                |                |        Two 1680x1050 screens
      |                |                |
+-----+----------------+----------------+-----+
|                      |                      |
|                      |                      |
|                      |                      |  This is X Screen 0
|                      |                      |  Two 2560x1440 screens
|                      |                      |
|                      |                      |
+----------------------+----------------------+

Things are working fine, except when I try to make full screen or maximize any window, it spans the entire two displays of whichever X screen it's on. Also, dialog boxes always get split in half by the middle window split.
I've heard that metacity might be not playing nice with Xinerama, but I can't find any formal bugs on the internet. I'm thinking it might be my configuration as well, so I thought I would post my problem here.
Here's my xorg.conf:

Notice how I am creating another X screen for each monitor now.

A: Unfortunately I know how you feel and I couldn't really find its cause.
Simply one day after many tentatives of tweakings (and after a few updates) I got it working.
I post here my xorg.conf so that you may get some inspiration from it.
I remember once xinerama did what's happening to you right now, but not any more (and in the future I hope).

System is Debian GNU/Linux wheezy (testing).
Driver version is 290.10.
Judging from your xorg.conf I'd try to disable twinview (even I, when enabled, has this problem).
I'm aware that twinview allows you to have better performances and xinerama is very poor 3D acceleration capable, but if you don't have specific needs you can live with that.
I can view very good videos with xinerama on. Not sure if you're gaming.
For other informations you may take a look at XRANDR, though that may be what you're looking for but seems a bit tricky to get started with. Xinerama is more transparent but less performant.
Maybe there are other options which are differents from mine. Twinview enabled picked up my attention and to disable it is the key to your problem.

The streets were strewn with red bunting. Sleighs hung from street lamps. And reindeers roamed the roads. This was how the Earth said goodbye to Saint Nicholas. After ten days of official mourning, there were many days of unofficial desperation.
"Without Father Christmas, we are but lost children in the face of the eternal night of fundamentalism," said the President in one of his more lucid moments. He had a point.
Christmas had, for many years, managed to infantalise an entire world of western adults.
'Twas they that watched the September debuts of Christmas movies. 'Twas they who toiled over the decorating of the house, decking the halls with boughs of whatever they could get their hands on to decorate it with. Indeed, 'twas they who bought until the money they had was no more. 'Twas they who stood on cold street corners and in draughty supermarket car-parks singing endlessly pointless Christmas carols and pestering passersby for heartfelt donations to the deserving cause of the Rotary Clubs from whence they came and to where they would disappear after their brief festive outings.
Unfortunately, the media, of the populist firebrand variety, knew all too well and had prepared the ground for the devastating explosion of the angry pre-gathered crowd of 250,000 citizens (600,000 if you asked the President).
Those who had not committed the terror event now fled for their personal safety. In cars, in vans, and in trucks, a mass of people with sun-kissed skin moved secretively away from their would-be persecutors. Such a movement of human beings, so silently, so secretively, had not been witnessed since a group of a similar size had escaped from Egypt many, many years before.
Joe had watched the separate escapes of families with children and old people and had shaken his head in resignation.
Although his skin had now lost its deeper tones, inquisitive eyes would have had to spend little time in the discovery of Joe's true origins. There had been an angry crowd of rioters wandering the streets earlier. He had avoided them, realising their murderous intent. The police, who had formed a ceremonial guard of honour, wearing Santa Clause hats over their own caps or helmets, were now nowhere to be seen. No patrol cars cruised the streets. No concerned eyes looked from the safety of windows. No fingers were being placed on emergency numbers.
In the distance, Joe could hear the smashing of glass. There was shouting. There was the sound of car tyres squealing. More shouting. More glass breaking. More tyres. And then the sound of an engine running on the edge of its revs. Joe managed to get out of its way before it came screaming past. He saw the faces of a frightened family framed in the fearful departure. Its brake lights flashed as its horn blared. Then, it was gone.
Time to get off the streets.
He turned towards home and saw them. A group of middle-aged thugs strung out on cheap brandy and even cheaper bravery. His expression must have told them what he most wanted to hide. They came running towards him, chorusing a savage cry.
As he took to his heels, Joachim thought about all of those things that he had never done.
He didn't know why he was doing this when he ought to have been really concentrating on getting away from the mob. It had become a mob. They were after him with sticks and stones and semi-automatics. For some very obvious reason they were after him. He looked like he didn't belong. He looked like foreigner, a terrorist, or even a Mexican or Pole. It didn't matter because they now had the scent of him in their nostrils and he would soon be paying for the murder of Christmas. First him and then the rest of the MUS... hordes. Nobody questioned whether Mexicans or Polish were Christmastians or not. Who would wish to spoil a good lynching?
Joachim had only to turn the next corner for him to discover that particular answer, but until then he worried about the fact that he had never 'pooped his cherry' as the Yankees would have said.
Tears ran down his cheeks as he ran into the comforting welcome of the shaft of blue light that had oh so suddenly appeared.

October 11, 2020 – Millville, NJ — The Road to Indy, the ladder program for IndyCar professional open-wheeled racing, returns for a weekend of racing to the 2.25-mile, 12-turn New Jersey Motorsports Park Thunderbolt road course after a 10-year hiatus.
The weekend included 8 races from 3 different racing series, including the Global Mazda MX5 Cup, the Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship, and Indy Pro 2000 Championship. The open-wheeled drivers are fighting for over $1M in scholarship funding to move from the Road to Indy USF2000 to Indy Pro 2000 series, and from Indy Pro 2000 to Indy Lights, which is the last step before the IndyCar pinnacle series.
On Saturday, the USF2000 podium for Race-1 was Eduardo Barrichello (#22) from San Paulo Brazil taking the win, with series points leader Christian Rasmussen (#6) from Copenhagen Denmark in 2nd, and Michael d'Orlando (#4) from New York in 3rd place. Barrichello is the son of Rubens Barrichello, the former Ferrari, Williams, and Honda Formula-1 driver (and 1 year with IndyCar.)
For Saturday's Indy Pro 2000 event, Andretti Steinbrenner Autosport rookie driver Devlin DeFrancesco (#17) from Miami, FL led the entire race and picked up his second win of the season, in front of series points leader Sting Ray Robb (#2) from Payette, Idaho, and Manuel Sulaiman (#8) from Mexico City, Mexico. And yes, Sting Ray is his real first name – derived from his ancestor's home in Stirlingshire, Scotland and his grandfather Ray. (But we all know it's really from his parent's love of the Corvette!)
Devlin DeFrancesco
Sunday was a different story, with challenging weather and on-track incidents shuffling the deck. After several drivers slid off the track when rain began to fall late in USF2000 Race-2, Rasmussen took the win in front of Cameron Shields (#10) from Australia in 2nd, and Barrichello in 3rd place.
Later in the day on rain tires, Rasmussen dominated the USF2000 Race-3 to not only take the checkered flag, but also to clinch the series championship! Rookie Josh Green (#2) from Mount Kisco, NY came in 2nd, and rookie Prescott Campbell (#1) from Newport Beach, CA took 3rd.
In the Mazda MX-5 Race-1, Jared Thomas (#96) took 1st place, followed by Gresham Wagner (#5) and Robert Noaker (#13). In Race-2, Wagner captured the win, followed by Michael Carter (#8) in 2nd, and Selin Rollan (#87) in 3rd.
Back to the open-wheeled Indy Pro 2000 Race-2, Sting Ray led every lap and took the win, with Parker Thompson (#9) from Canada earning 2nd, in front of Artem Petrov (#42) from Saint Petersburg Russia in 3rd. DeFrancesco and Sulaiman tangled on the first lap pushing them both back in the pack.
The final race of the weekend, Indy Pro Race-3, was masterfully won (in the wet conditions) by Sulaiman. DeFrancesco and Petrov crashed forcing them both out of the race. Rookie Colin Kaminsky (#19) from Joliet, IL took an impressive 2nd place finish, while Sting Ray rounded out the podium. With that 3rd place finish, Robb also clinched the series championship to graduate to Indy Lights in 2021!
The Road to Indy wraps up the 2020 season in St. Petersburg, FL the weekend of October 23rd.

Kevin Trudeau blows the lid off a nest of deception and double standards concerning general and individual health in this new book, Natural Cures "They" Don't Want You To Know About. Kevin has risked government prosecution to bring you the full story of an intricate conspiracy.
From the retail supermarket outlets of huge, publicly traded corporations comes processed, manipulated, engineered "food products" -- produced by other wings of the same corporation. These artificial, toxic treats are then sold with the blessings of the Federal Trade Commission and Food and Drug Administration -- government organizations charged with safeguarding the public good -- laying the foundations for future disease and chronic ill-health for the consumer, and a guaranteed source of revenue for the medical and pharmaceutical sectors.
Kevin reveals the shocking truth of how drugs - which are being advertised directly to the consumer, pushing their use to an all-time high - are actually the cause of illness and disease climbing to near epidemic levels.
And, though it sounds dire, Kevin offers a light in the darkness and directs the reader to scores and scores of alternative therapies, medical practices, philosophies and -- most importantly -- potential cures that help your body regain its natural state of health and vibrancy.
So follow Kevin on an amazing journey through the behind-the-scenes world of corporate sponsored "nutrition" and "health," and learn about Natural Cures "They" Don't Want You To Know About.
Follow the suggestions, then write a review based on the results.
Ever since I lost both of my grandfathers to cancer, I have been interested in health. Having spent a lot of time researching nutrition and alternatives to conventional medicine, I was determined to make better decisions than my grandparents had made about their well-being. Isn't that the point of others' mistakes: to learn how to avoid making them yourself?
In all of my reading, I had never come across a book as brutally honest as this one. Kevin has invested a lot into this and has put his own life on the line to bring you this information. The drug companies and food industry are much more powerful than you think. If you write Kevin off as a "conspiracy theorist", then I am sorry for you. You are depriving yourself and your family of information that could improve your lives dramatically. The pesky thing about conspiracy theories is that sometimes they're true, especially ones that can be validated by doing a little bit of digging. Do you really think CEOs of these large corporations care if you get sick when you consume their products?
If you say, "We're all going to die anyway," then let me ask you this: would you rather get up in the morning ready to face the day's challenges and maintain that momentum all day or would you rather drag yourself out of bed reluctantly and only wake up when you drink that first, second, or third cup of coffee? I am following about half of the advice in this book, and let me tell you, I feel one hundred percent better. At work, I feel like I have so much energy that I often want to run around the building a few times just to burn it off, though I haven't gone through with this (yet) and made a fool out of myself.
Also, would you rather live a relatively healthy life in a body that can fight off illness, or would you rather be tired and sick constantly, wondering why it always seems like you're fighting your body? It's your choice. I have seen the devastation a chronic illness or a terminal illness can cause in a family. Would you cause your family to suffer because you made bad choices when it came to your body? The financial burden is also tremendous in this day and age. Health care is not cheap, and it's not getting any cheaper.
What is presented in this book is the important idea of preventative maintenance, which means that you care enough about your body to build it up for success instead of waiting until your body is already failing to take care of yourself. Oftentimes, people I know will ask me how they can stop pain in their knees or stop another difficult condition they're living with. I suggest that they do cleansing, change their diet to mostly organic, etc...basically follow the advice in this book. What happens is that they tune me out and opt to go to the drugstore in favor of something that will give instant relief but will not deal with the long-term problem, i.e. what is causing the problem in the first place! I understand that pain can be unbearable, but after you initially take care of it and your mind is clear enough to think reasonably, shouldn't you take steps to prevent it from happening again? What we have in this nation is not healthcare, but sick care. I am not the first person to say this, and I certainly won't be the last.
This book has been my reference guide for healthy change. I have rid myself of 99% of my pains and feel like I have the energy of a child again. I will continue to try to help those around me, if they will listen to my experiences and truly care about helping themselves and their families. I would love to see everyone happier and healthier, and I hope that everyone will have the drive to go out and seek the information they need to turn their health around.
I just bought this book because I jumped around to numerous parts of it whilst in a bookstore and everything I read echoed what I have come to learn over the past ten years or so via alternative medicine (Chinese herbalists, acupuncturist, Naturopaths, etc.) practitioners. I'm looking forward to reading it through. I gave it four stars only because I did come to a part where KT refers to his website and free downloads that are only available to members. I went to the site and see that there is a fee, though, to be fair, it could be minimal. KT is certainly not the only site to charge a fee and it's his right to do so. Should I need to update this review, I will do so after reading the book in its entirety. Until then, just know that I attest to there being very worthwhile and helpful information offered here.
"Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About" by Kevin Trudeau is more than a consumer advocacy book. It is a comprehensive review of important but forgotten facts regarding natural health remedies and health maintenance strategies that, quite frankly, bio-tech companies and pharmaceutical companies do not want people to know about.
Albeit, Mr. Trudeau's writing style is very much in keeping with that of a Alpha-Type consumer advocate, he does present facts, evidence and logic to not only support the body of this work but also to address how the knowledge presented can be applied very practically in the everyday lives of people who are already responsible as it pertains to the management of their health.
At no point in the book does Mr. Trudeau suggest that persons abandon the need for sound medical counsel and advice; in fact, he is a strong proponent of that sector of the medical profession that holds strongly to the Hipocratic Oath as well as professional medical ethics. He does however, and with very good reason, condemn those in the medical and pharmaceutical professions for using their "credentials" and "client trust" to advance their own pocket books with products and services from various bio-tech and pharmaceutical companies, which are not only unfit for consumption by any human being, but frankly, very dangerous and life threatening.
Before writing this review I read the review of others who had purchased this book. I was surprised to find that almost all of those persons who rated this book with a 3-star rating or less not only failed to read the entire book but appeared to also be represented of that segment of society that see's nothing wrong with dumping trash on the freeways, eating at fast food restaurants daily and inhaling a pack of Lucky Strips to boot. None of their reviews presented any facts, evidence or logic to refute what Mr. Trudeau has written, let only support the propaganda of the bio-tech and pharmaceutical communities lobbyists. I don't that any of these reviewers even knows what a "lobbyist" is.
The Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, or prominently mentioned in this book (as well as other books written by Mr. Trudeau), and with good reason. As Mr. Trudeau states, the FDA's primary role and responsibility is to ensure that products and services available for consumption in the United States meet or exceed the guidelines set by the FDA regarding safety, etc. Unfortunately, and there is plenty of evidence to support this remark, the FDA has horribly failed in its charter and responsibility to protect the public for foods and drugs which are dangerous and provide no immediate or long term health benefits for the consumer or the patient.
Having worked at Purdue Pharma, the company that manufacturers Oxy-Contin, I am fully aware of the methods in which drugs are developed, manufactured, tested and distributed. I have seen the effects of this prescription drug as well as other prescription drugs manufactured by other bio-tech and pharma companies. Suffice it to say, the "system" is only as good as the people who are in them, and when the system is occupied with persons who have as their primary concern their botton line (aka, profit and loss statement), someone always ends up suffering, and its is typically the consumer or patient.
But personal opinions aside, if anyone is interested in improving their knowledge of how they can reduce the possibility of illness, injury or sickness in their life, you owe it to yourself (that is if you really love and care about yourself and your family) to read this book, learn, understand and believe the content. If you choose to embrace and apply the principles of this and other Kevin Trudeau books (which I have read as well), you may find, if you are disciplined, that your health and your life will become better. Of course, you may need a doctor's care and some forms of prescription medication depending upon your medical history, but by following the principles laid out in this book, there is every reason to believe that you will be much better for it than if you had not read and applied the principles at all.
In closing, for you "nay sayers" out there, do us all a favor: if you are going to open your mouth to comment about the book, at least provide more than your biased opinion. Even a fool is respected when he / she keeps his mouth shut! Remember that!!!
Listen to what this man has to say!
I have to say that I am in constant worry of the state our Country & World are in. Friends of mine, that have been healthy their whole lives (have hardly drank or ever smoked and eat healthy)and are in their 20's and 30's, are coming down with breast cancer, kidney cancer, liver cancers... all having no family history of this stuff. HOW ARE THEY GETTING IT???? Why are our beloved pets being killed now with this pet food that has been recalled? How did all that rat poison get into the foods???? I just lost my cat this past December and am highly supspect that was the problem though I cannot prove it. I had two cats, unrelated, for 8 years that developed diabetes. My husband has Type II diabetes now; he is 38 yrs old. He was on Nexium for years (stomach acid problems) and is taking a ton of glucophage every day for the diabetes. Again, only treating the symptom but not getting to a cure for him. I recently made him go to a Naturopath and he was off the Nexium within 3 months. We both got a full panel of blood work done and are on the recommended supplements to get back to health. We both feel much better and are now working on his diabetes. I know the supplements are expensive but isn't your health/life worth it? Kevin also commented that it is impossible to do all the stuff he recommends in the book overnight or ever for that matter. Making gradual changes the best you can do or afford is the way to go. It is not expensive to grow your own vegetables or make your own bread; we do. Buy a Brita water filter and use that if you can't afford to put a system in your house. There are ways to get healthier without spending a fortune.
We are slowing killing ourselves gobbling down all these pills that treat only the symptoms of all these illnesses but then cause another. That's what is ridiculous to me; not Kevin Trudeau.
The FDA and the Pharma companies are getting rich off of us while we live with unexplained illnesses and eventually get very sick and/or die! Just think, if we had cures for all of the epidemics out there, (breast cancer & all cancers for that matter, HPV, AIDS- which I highly believe some could have been manmade and released for experimentation & do have cures but are hidden) then why would we need drugs or doctors for that matter. They would be out of business! They want to keep us sick! Please consider what I am saying and do not be brainwashed any longer! Check out these two links; it will make your head spin! Copy and paste into your tool bar and read away.
Not for the wimpy minded.
Kevin Trudeau may well be as much all about the money as he blames the whole world, have crime records, and more. Yet, people still have to listen to him. Most people in America are very negligent about their obesity and diet despite the epidemics of cancer and more diseases. Everybody has known at least a person with a severe disease, such as diabetes, we all know that the canned and boxed food has chemical that one should never eat alone. But, as Kevin exposes, the power of advertisement, media (so called "liberal") and government has been able to blind our society with very typical lies such as "the food only has small amounts of chemicals, it's OK", "I'm only having minor pains", or the plain denial of obesity, the most typical of all. After all, the medical science has progressed a lot and our health insurance (for those who have it) will deal with any trouble as many think.
No, the medical science has not progressed that much. It has focused mostly on pain killers, which makes it more appealing than ever before. Yet, it's still typical for many people going from doctor to doctor to tell them all their pains and problems just to be told to drink water, take it easy, pay their copay and take more painkillers, so they neglect their problem. The situation is just like Kevin said, suppose that whenever your car sends you a repair signal the mechanic only turns the signal off. That is what current medicine does. It's pathetic how people are more caring with their cars than with themselves.
Most reviewers dismiss Kevin's challenges, such as drinking a full cup of artificial flavors or colors as gross and unrealistic because we simply dispose all those chemical over time. Never wonder how we can dispose all those chemical when water consumption is dismissal? No, those chemical stay in our bodies, especially in the fatty tissues, which makes far more difficult to expel. People truly drink at least a full cup a poisonous chemicals.
Most of Kevin's remedies are not practical or cheap at all, yet he is the single one who has been able to shake me and wake me up from my negligence and made me eat vegetable salads for supper, go organic and cut the meat. I never thought I could go enjoy a vegetable salad! And a salad with just a little organic dressing! Many other people do eat vegetables, but load them with fatty chemical dressing. "Low fat"? "Natural ingredients"? Read what Kevin says, and it's true. Changing my life and relieving me from minor pains that were starting to accumulate on my body was his remedy for me. Other than that, I haven't bought a single one of his products. I haven't even bother to visit his web site!
The fact that most reviewer do not stay on topic but bash his past or anything else and write very short and sloppy reviews make me think that corporations are behind many of those reviews. I am well aware that many people stand for corporation and this system that would always fire them at the slightest chance to outsource their jobs to China, but it's still puzzling to find so many. After all, only circa 30% of Americans admit being conservative, far less than the majority (circa 50%) who don't claim any preference. And just in case you wonder, no I'm not communist, I believe in common sense, more regulation, just like they do in Europe, and still a rich and industrious area. Which one is richer, Europe or America? I don't care; nobody can prove who is richer. They're both rich. Now, let's get back to topic.
Kevin's writing can be scarier than a Stephen King's novel! No kidding! His book should be classified as pure terror, but in a new category, real terror, demonology and drama. The vampires and demons he talks about are real and far more lethal and evil than Voldemort. If this is a problem for you (no blame you), you can read Dr. Don Colbert's books instead.
If you are not outraged you are not paying attention.
As for Kevin Trudeau making money on his books or website...we all need to eat and earn a living, even Mr. Trudeau, his books and website cost far less than 10 hurried minutes at your DR's office and way less than a prescription.......so do not begrudge the man a living, the ceo's of pharmacuetical industries are making millions on your suffering....not on promoting wellness.
Having been in the alternative medical communtiy for many years there is nothing in his books that has not been said elsewhere, he's not making this stuff up, read, watch the news, this information is available to all of us in snippets everywhere.....just read between the lines, and think for yourself....but don't get a flu shot, they contain thimerasol and aluminum....linked to alzheimers, but since the pharmacuetical industry is now recommending them for all children annually please call your broker and buy stock in those companies and pray for all the innocent children poisened by greed, fear and stupidity.
Also be aware the Patriot Act made it impossible for parents to sue if you can prove your child was injured by vaccines....don't take Kevin's word for it, open your eyes, and take care of your self, because the FDA and pharmacuetical industries are not looking out for your best interests.
Thank you Mr. Trudeau for planting the seeds and bringing to light this information for the many who haven't sought it for themselves, as for those still thinking in the box.....I guess they'll just take another pill to offset the side effects from the other meds they are on, and keep eatng crap and wonder why their kids have ADD and they are on Prozac....things look prettier on Prozac.
If you absolutely must take a look at this, as I felt compelled, check it out at the public library first. Very, very poor content. He offers simpleton solutions of his own that are absurd and he's simply not an authority on the topics he mentions, like how to handle spam.
if you're going to compile a book based upon interviewing others, step up to bat and offer their credentials and quotes and reference their works, not your website in every other paragraph, and your "thoughts." You are not the authority, and no one wants to read your `thoughts.' Package those in an essay book or other format, if you like, but you're putting too many eggs in one basket, and yours are rotten.
If you're going to knock everything and everyone under the sun for advertising their products, stop advertising yours in every paragraph, too. Otherwise shut up.
Readers: note this is worth all negative stars, but Amazon does not have that option. Do not buy, is my advice. If you must check it out, do that with a library card and on the spot, because after even just two minutes of glancing through any topic and you'll place it back on the shelf. Pure garbage. There are no cures listed here, just pure junk and links to his cure website.
Read and use Trudeau's books. I haven't found one that isn't informative, truthful, and works everytime.
His cures work! I was personally already use a handful of them already, but 'thanks' for the additional new ones!!!
"Hey, Kevin, find anything on natural fuels yet???"
Thank you Kevin Trudeau, really!
* A no fluff analysis of what we eat and how we harm our bodies.
* None! A must read for every adult on the planet!
Avoid this book... unless you are taking a philosophy or ethics class! This guy Trudeau is a piece of work. He writes well enough to draw one in, then says.... "for more info - go to my website". Ok, I hear that he needs to make money... but this is a guy who has already spent time in prison for being dishonest. A lot of his "cures" are intriguing and some are downright correct. But a little bit of research will bring you to much more credible alternatives. Seriously... this guy is a self-centered nut!! I read the book cover to cover... Let this short review stand as my testimony that you do not need to!!!
And don't get me started on all of his conspiracy theories.
Please... avoid this book - unless you want to give your Philosophy professor some fallacious arguments to rip to shreds!!!
Yes, Mr. Trudeau is a promoter and a bit over the top. But he's also an agent of change and audacious enough to speak out when the Emperor has not clothes. We can all identify with his recurring outburst in the face of endless obtuseness of his adversaries: Mad as Hell and Not Going to Take It Anymore. Remember, if we all were completely reasonable and content people, nothing would ever change.
The author presents a scattergun assault on the establishment truths about health, diet, and medicine, attempting to convey his versions of the truth that he believes are often suppressed - by government agencies, drug companies, and the medical establishment, and even the US Congress. His observations are most interesting for those into conspiracy theories! Even for those who are not, however, the book raises questions about why natural cures for common diseases meet with not just distain but hostility from the "experts". The author suggests that we, like good investigators, follow the money.
The place where the book is disappointing is the way it does not live up to its promise of telling the reader how to prevent and cure diseases through natural means. To often the information turns out not to be in the book but in another publication or on a website. For a book this size, he could have found space for the answers, perhaps in place of recurring repetitive ranting.
Mr. Trudeau's ideas and idiosyncrasies have become part of our household lexicon. We find him fun, challenging, and surprisingly insightful. The book is a good catalyst for thought the diet/health/medicine/drugs/ topics, particularly for those willing to take a radical new look at conventional wisdom and cures. Before we can no longer afford health care at all, why not step back and question what "they" tell you, or don't tell you.
This book has saved my life!
As a Registered Dietitian and a research scientist I highly DISCOURAGE anyone from purchasing any of the books he has published. Some of the material this book has some small glimmer of the truth it may have once been based on, but is twisted out of context to make the results. From my credentials (something he lacks), one should note I am not a "drug company trying to discourage natural cures." Proper nutrition does make a HUGE impact on disease states, but should not be used with all disease states since sometimes this can result in adverse affects and even DEATH due to interactions or unchecked progression.
Another key problem with his book. Most of the diseases can not be "cured" with the use of one single herbal supplement. The diseases he states, such as scurvy, are known to be easily treated, but others can actually be worsened by use of high doses of vitamins or herbal supplements. The use of a supplement WILL NOT CURE Diabetes Mellitus (DM)!!! Type one DM is caused by the death of a specific cell type in the pancreas that prevents the body from PRODUCING insulin. If the body is not producing it, nothing you ingest can be converted in large enough quantities sustain the body's needs. Type two DM is due to tissue resistance to insulin and CAN BE CONTROLLED by diet, but only with a proper diet and exercise... NOT SUPPLEMENTS ONLY!
Second point he makes is that the FDA doesn't want herbals to be sold because they "cure" aliments. This too is a fallacy. The herbal products themselves are not regulated by the FDA, only the label which states claims since they are often NOT BACKED BY REPUTABLE RESEARCH! Some things do work and I myself to take some supplements from time to time for infections (such as cranberry juice for a urinary track infection), but you must be very careful when purchasing these products. Since they are not regulated, they do not actually have to contain the product they advertise in the quantities they advertise (or at all in some cases. Being a natural product, the concentration will naturally vary by plant and therefore by batch.
The information provided in this book has been very valuable to me and my family. It has shed light on many dark and unclear issues. Yes he is repetitive, but I believe he purposely does that because he is stressing very important info which is vital in todays' time and world.
I was one of those people buying this book thinking there was a specific cure for the illness I was researching. In actuality choosing natural and making wiser choices will guide your body into healing itself. Doing things such as going to a chiropracter, drinking water with no flouride and also doing cleanses such as a colon cleanse etc... these are all methods of getting rid of toxins and helping your body to heal itself.
In the end it all made sense. It's a keeper and I refer back to it often.
Two issues I have with this book.
1. Mr. Trudeau claims the media is in the pocket of both the medical and pharmecutical industry, resulting in supression of natural cures evidence. Then he spends at least 60 pages quoting major media outlets reporting on the dangers of prescription drugs and surgery.
Kevin spends most of the book ranting about the influence of food and drug manufacturers over the government. Well, tell us something that we do not know already. I appreciate Kevin Trudeau's trials and tribulations to get this information and deal with the bureacracies. But, let's move ahead. I felt ripped off when I mostly just read about "they" and a some references on getting a kidney, liver, etc. cleanse and practice tai chi. Well, thanks, but it would help to toss in some formulas and actual demonstrations instead of a bunch of websites. I am keeping the book for now, just for some websites. Otherwise, it is mostly one man's rant against the system. I received far more health information and entertainment from Dr. Duke's Essential Herbs.
Dross: And don't let a gullible person read this!
My wife wants to have her filling pulled because this idiot says so.
Why do I call him an idiot. Here are two examples.
Coral Calcium: he says a goverment agency won't let him publish anything about it--so he refers you to his website where you can find out more if you subscribe! Hey, Kevy, there are no apriori restraints on the press in the USA.
Pigs: He says you should not eat pork because pigs eat thier own excretement. He thinks that is disgusting, thus not healthy. Well pigs and rabbits can eat their own. There may be many reasons not to eat pork, especially in third world countries. but Kevy sure didn't bother to research them.
Why do research when you can make up a stupid reason.
I LOVED THIS BOOK. He blows the whistle on corruption while at the same time exposing needed information. He is very slick with his wording (being there are so many laws to what exactly he can and cannot say).
After reading over the previous reviews, i have come to note that there are obviously many naive ppl out there, so brainwashed by the media to believe that the beloved doctors and government would never withhold such cures and 'secrets'. Promoting ignorance is the best thing government could have done on their behalf, it's obviously working.
I would like to thank Mr. Trudeau for exposing many of these lies. I have personally used the information in this book to better my life. I am healthier than ever! As for Ms. Kanas native's comment, My old doctor had full blown brain cancer...never underwent chemo and is healthy as ever now! Explain this one?!
Mr Trudeau my hat goes off to you. You are a very brave man trying to simply help others dispite the fact that they are just bashing you to the ground without even trying any of your advice. My only complaint is that the information in this book repeats itself over and over again, though he warns you of this in his intro. saying that it is his way of drilling in the knowledge. All-in-all it is an excellent book, which earned it's postision on my bookshelf.
I've found the truth. This book has put me on the path to being well. The book isn't just about particular natural cures - but also the fact that the media and pharmaceutical companies hide this knowledge and try to debunk them. I've been following the advice in it and people tell me I Iook fantastic. I feel great and full of energy. I haven't been sick for 18 months, not even a single headache. The only deterrant is that readers may not be aware of is, becasue of the FDA trying to shut down Mr Trudeau, that he is limmited in the way he can express himself. This means it may take a bit of detective work (especially if you live outside the US). Pretty simple though, google keywords from the book (like life force plan, or gallbladder flush) and you'll find the right info. However for those in the US you have a comprehensive website available to you with all the info you need.
I have been a cancer patient since August 2003. I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a rare bone disease that rarely strikes people under 50.
something similar he said was based on a "Rife machine". It worked for nobody.
What I particularly dislike about Kevin Trudeau is what he says about medical science hiding a cure. While it is true that there would be tremendous loss financially for oncologists and pharmaceutical companies, eventually they could focus on other diseases and drugs.
I see two oncologists, both a general oncologist and Dr. James Berenson, who is somewhat of an iconoclast in the world of myeloma. I consider him the best mm expert in the whole world, but I do not agree with everything he has to say. He has written books that are very expensive right here on Amazon about myeloma.
He has hoped to cure me with my last 4 or 5 treatments and has always been disappointed when the mm starts going back up. Fortunately, it looks like I have found something that may be working.
How to Treat and Prevent Cancer with Natural Medicine.
Although some of the book is now outdated and actually irrelevant to myeloma patients, as we have a cancer of the immune system and have to be careful NOT to stimulate the immune system, it is still the best book available, as far as I know, and Michael Murray, one of the authors does have a website.
Since that time, there is a lot of new information, some of which is conflicting. However, I would suggest anyone interested look into curcumin, artemsinin, vitamin D, resvervatrol, vitamin E with tocotrienols, selenium, zinc, and vitamin C as ascorbyl palmitate (the normal kind of vitamin C will only make you gassy and be excreted from your body after 1000 mg..yet so many natural health practitioners think you are going to gain something from taking massive amounts of the regular kind of water-soluble vitamin C. Believe me, you are not, and 1000s of tests have shown this).
I could write many more paragraphs about this, but then people get mad when the information is too long. I will start some kind of blog about this. I suggest looking for an mm blog by a Margaret from Italy, who is a linguist and not trying to sell you anything. My cancer blog would be more commercial, selling a very, very limited number of products I believe can help most cancer patients that have been test by ConsumerLabs, which actually tests these kinds of things, that the FDA does not.
I purchased this book when it first came out. Disappointed extremely from the contents of this book. The information provided was not helpful. The book often referred you to other books, journals and reviews. If you have at least 730 days to read and research the reference material provided by the author, I guess it ok. There is no way I would recommend this book or any other book by Kevin Trudeau.
I started to purchase Debt Cures they dont want you to know about. It was then I discovered the author was the same person who wrote: Natural Cures they dont want you to know about. I stopped and realized the person has nothing to say and it is not worth loosing your money.
The author goes on and on about the FDA & the drug administration throughtout the book. He doesn't give you his so-called remidies - he tells you to go to a web site for that information. There, in order to find out anything, you have to pay $9.95 just to gain access.
Kevin's response to the pharmaceutical industry is astounding.
In todays society, everyone is looking for a cure FAST!
I hear all there stories of "my sister with severe cancer", "my cousin with diabetes" people who get this book and want a cure the next day. Well guess what, IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. Kevin states in this book that some people's diseases are too far gone. You must follow all his steps to lead a healthy life.
There is a severe crisis in America's pharmaceutical industry. It must be fixed.
Read this whole book through, don't just flip through the pages. It will change your life like it has mine.
I just saw him on an infomercial selling his new book, How to Make Money. Well, we sure know how he does that, and we don't even have to buy THAT book to know that he has figured out how to make lots of money by writing books with no credentials whatsoever. It's so sad, and he makes a mockery out of people who actually do health research and who actually care about people's health.
I am halfway through the book as I write this. There is not really a single point of Kevin's that I disagree with thus far. Of course, I have always been into health so everything he says rings true with what I have learned over many years - and practice for myself .
The strength of this book is not so much new ideas, rather it's his astute assembling of healthful ideas from many sources into one. I don't condemn him for that - it still has his personal touch.
Yes, everyone is taking pot shots at him, and for those who don't understand real health this book may seem to promote easy solutions to complex problems. However, if one has a basic understanding of health, then implementing his ideas will not seem silly or difficult.
Yes, he raves and rants, but so would you when you have a message to deliver and most everyone doesn't believe you. And while he is raking in lots of money, isn't that what capitalism is all about? Build a better mousetrap?
Before you condemn this book, realize that everyone throughout history who went against the tide was ridiculed.... until the time they were proven correct. I would trust Kevin's ideas long before I would trust the FDA, which is not really working in the public's best interest.
As just one example - John Stossel, in a TV spot jumped all over Kevin for saying jumping on a rebounder could help alleviate depression and exercise the body in a unique way. Well, Stossel's the fool here - anyone who know about rebounding understands it's a unique way to exercise and it can do everything Kevin says it can, and much more! So multiply this one error on the part of those seeking to undermine him, and you get the picture.
As for Trudeau's troubled past, I don't know much personally and therefore won't join in until I know more.
Overall, he's compiled a lot of genuinely excellent information and presented it fairly and clearly, if perhaps just with a bit too much enthusiasm.
It must have taken a long time to write this book - with no guarantee of any rewards at the end of his work. The fact that it has succeeded beyond anyone's dreams does not make him guilty of anything.
Natural cures contains alot of excellent information, to help you gain perfect health and wellbeing. Although he does reccomend you to his website,he specifically says in his book that you can get a week of free membership, which is more than enough time to get all the information you could possibly need. All these bad reviews obviousely have come from ignorant people who havent even tried any of the great suggestions in this book.
Take the time and read the whole book, and with an open mind.
Value not in Understanding Cures, but in the System!
This book is my first venture into reading about natural cures or the relationship in America between the FDA, pharmaceutical companies and other aspects of the government. Once I got over the repetitive nature of his writing (which, based on my personal experience trying to educate people on a system they are unfamiliar with, I think is actually a good approach) I was impressed with the organized and thorough way in which Trudeau was able to help the reader understand this great scam going on in America.
So what if the guy wants you to spend money at his website? This is a free market country and I don't begrudge anyone making money. Worst case scenario you "waste" some money going to his site the first time and then decide not to go back - I did this with Ford motor company on a $20,000 car and am not whining or vindictive about it, I just don't buy Fords anymore.
What I will tell you is that reading this book helped me see that this country is selling its soul and HEALTH for profit. Since reading it I have sold all my stocks in medical manufacturing and pharmaceutical companies.... and just so we're clear, I'm a doctor who went through a 6-year med school program and did my internship at USC Medical Center.
This book has some good ideas, i enjoyed it. The author knows more about the government than some want to believe. You have to check on some of the "cures" yourself - do more research if you want to be sure.
Watch out for ... THEM!!!!
There was a sci fi flick a few years back called "Them" about creatures from outer space invading Earth.
Well, Kevin is playing the same game. Some people's lives are so dull, that they will believe anything. Who cares if people 100 years ago died of diseases that today have been nearly eradicated by vaccines? That infant mortality was high and many children died before the age of 12? That life expectancy was 50-60 years on average? DULLL!!!! Much more exciting to believe that the evil FDA, pharms, and doctors are hiding the real cures for diseases in some vast conspiracy!!! That herbal "natural" cures are far superior to anything your doctor prescribes despite the fact that there is not one scintilla of evidence to back up that claim!
These people don't want to believe that a lone loser shot JFK. Too ordinary. There was a CIA/FBI/Castro cabal to have him assassinated. The USA government is hiding from us the fact that we are every day being visited by aliens from outer space. The FDA is in bed with the pharms to keep us sick so they can sell us more medicine. Doctors don't tell us how to prevent getting sick. The FDA and pharms want to keep us fat (also, I guess, McDonald's and the rest). The list goes on and on .... Pathetic.
Should be called "Natural Cures Kevin Trudeau Doesn't Want You ,,,"
Did I say it was redundant?
Yes, there's some very useful information here and yes the major medical big money machine does suppress & discredit a lot of alternative methods for better health.
BUT, Trudeau is not the best messenger to deliver this insight.
He has got to be the most self centered repetitive wind-bag to ever write a book. This agonizingly long read could have been cut by 2/3 and would have more tolerable.
But no, Kevin refused to allow anyone to edit his stuff. He's PROUD (& that's part of the problem) that NO ONE touched his original manuscript.
>Plus there are some wacky claims here that are way over the top.
4. Stop being so full of himself.
1. Every other page refers you to his website and reads like an infamerical on TV. I would expect more detail from a book with 500 plus pages.
2. He keeps refering you to his website which you have to pay more money for. This information should have been in the book you paid good money for.
3. In the places where he does give truthful information it's common sense. Or at best you can get the information for free on the internet through a quality website like WEB MD.
The truth is there are better resources out there than this book. There are professionals within their fields that have written tremendous resources that are available to you. YOU The Owner's Manual by Dr. Roizen and Dr. OZ just to name one. I applaud anyone who takes an active role in their own health, and research on your part is vital.
In the end I feel this book is misleading and a waste of your time and money.
WARNING!!! DO NOT GIVE NATURAL CURES YOUR CREDIT CARD INFO!!!
The Natural Cures/Kevin Trudeau company stole money from me!!! Even if you are not buying this book from the infomercial, do not give this man any more money as he is a thief and scam artist who is being pursued by the government on Fraud charges. Once his company gets your credit card information (for their "free" newsletter that was offered with the book) they conveniently keep charging your card long after cancelling your order. I tried to cancel numerous time because I did not want it in the first place but they never did. This company charged me multiple times and refused to give me credit. Finally my credit card company had to get involved because Natural Cures found no record of my multiple requests to cancel what I did not order. The company still refused to refund all my money!

Prison-like home in Baraboo leaves police, lawmakers with questions
Posted: July 23, 2013 8:00 AM
Baraboo facility
A man's violent past — and present — have police and state lawmakers questioning how he's allowed to live in the middle of a Baraboo neighborhood.
The mentally disabled man, which WISC-TV is not naming to protect his medical privacy, moved in February into a single-family home that a state sub-contractor retrofitted to be a prison-like facility.
"You could imagine our shock when we found out this was in our jurisdiction," Baraboo Police Lt. Rob Sinden said.
The sub-contractor, Dungarvin Wisconsin LLC, doesn't have a license to operate the facility at 616 Sauk Avenue — but state law doesn't require it to have one. Police and state lawmakers questioned why a license isn't needed.
Dungarvin voluntarily gave up a license in January, which it received in 2010 to operate an adult family home at that location, according to records provided by the state Department of Health Services.
"Licenses are issued for specific types of programs," said Julie Josephitis, a Dungarvin director, in an emailed statement. "It was formerly a licensed adult family home. It no longer is used for that purpose."
Josephitis declined an on-camera interview.
The Sauk Avenue home's owner is Robert Lindahl. An Internet search revealed the Minneapolis realtor is also a Dungarvin employee.
Court records obtained by WISC-TV reveal the man housed inside the facility has a violent past in Waushara County. Authorities charged him in 2008 with attempted strangulation, but a judge decided he was incompetent for trial.
The state took custody of the man, then turned him over through the contractor system.
Dungarvin brought him to its Sauk Avenue facility in February, where police say he has continued his violence.
"This client has sent no fewer than 10 people to the hospital," Sinden said. "I can't believe that, in all those altercations, he hasn't been injured in some way."
Sinden said Baraboo police have forwarded the cases to the Sauk County District Attorney's office, which has declined to pursue them because the man had previously been ruled incompetent for trial.
The district attorney did not return a phone call seeking comment Monday.
Meanwhile, concerns about the man's past have neighbors on Baraboo's south side worried for their kids' safety.
"I pretty much freaked out," said Melissa Angle, who didn't find out about the living situation near her home for three months. "If they're going to keep that kind of facility there, I can't have my children growing up in an unsafe place."
Angle said another neighbor now refuses to allow her child to play outside, concerned the man could overpower the four people paid to guard him around the clock at the home and escape.
Sen. Jon Erpenbach, D-Middleton, said Baraboo city leaders asked him for help. For months, he's been asking the state Health Services department for its contract for the man's care, with little response.
"If there needs to be a legislative resolve to this, that's fine, but we can't begin to go down that path until we get some answers to some questions," Erpenbach said.
Neither the state nor the company would say how much money Sauk County and Wisconsin taxpayers are providing for the man's care.
But a lawsuit filed against the former manager of the facility indicates Dungarvin would stand to lose a $3,500 a day contract if the man's living situation changed.
Sinden said Dungarvin recently applied for a city permit to build a fence outside the home to help integrate the man back into society outside the home.
Sinden said the fence would need to comply with a city ordinance and wouldn't be nearly enough to keep the man from escaping.
Dungarvin's Josephitis declined to comment about the company's plans, but the fence idea has neighbors concerned.
"It's horrifying, and there's nothing you can do about it," Angle said.
Josephitis denied that the company was putting the community in danger.
"We disagree with the comments made," she said in a statement. "Dungarvin provides services to all people we support according to plans developed by a team of professionals."

THE CONVERT | London, Above The Stag Theatre
RECOMMENDED: Ben Kavanagh's chilling new play THE CONVERT explores the resources we need to endure catastrophe thro… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The Prickle (@ThePrickle) May 20, 2021
Ben Kavanagh's chilling new play explores the resources we need to endure catastrophe through an alternate reality where our greatest fears are endemic and enduring.
You said The Convert is the "maddest" thing you've ever written. Is it really?
I think so. I mean, it feels very much like a play that exists in an alternate world, both in terms of its actual content, and also its form and structure. There's only three characters, but there's constant references to a wider society which gives it this epic feel. It's also got some pretty dramatic set pieces, but I won't ruin it with spoilers!
How did the project come about?
The play is part of a larger season at the Above The Stag Theatre — the UK's only full time LBGTQ+ theatre — called CONTACT, which is essentially a festival of new and challenging work. Each company has been given free rehearsal space and a five-night run to realise their ideas and bring them to the stage. I'm thrilled to be back working with director Gene David Kirk, whose previous work at the Stag has been particularly successful, and with us for the journey are two extremely talented actors in James Phoon and Olly Roy — it's an exciting prospect going back into the rehearsal room with such a strong team.
Why gay conversion therapy?
In fact, The Convert started life as a monologue in BODY POLITIC. Gene approached me about the season at the Stag in March of 2021, and asked if I had any ideas: I suggested this monologue could have the dramatic potential for expanding into a full-length play. As we chatted, the world of the monologue seemed to blend perfectly with a conversation that was being had in the wider media at the time, the legislating against gay conversion therapy – i.e. the ridiculous time it was taking to ban it!
What can audiences expect on the night?
I know the main thrust of the play is set against the backdrop of conversion therapy, but I think, like all good theatre, at its root, it's a play about love, and in particular, enduring love. So I'd certainly expect that. As for the rest – well, we've not started rehearsals yet, and the entire play could be rewritten after the first day of rehearsals, as is so often the case. So much of the writing process relies on hearing the actors speak the lines, and gaining the insight of the director in how the story is coming together – as a writer, sometimes you are too close to the play to have that kind of perspective. Collaboration breeds a kind of openness in the room that nearly always results in a clearer direction for the story. It's thrilling! They say good plays aren't written, they are rewritten; well, if that's the case then sign me up!

AMONA, West Bank—Four months after forcibly removing thousands of Israelis from the Gaza Strip, Israel is gearing up for a new showdown in the West Bank that could become a critical test for acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.
In the coming days, Israeli forces are expected to sweep through this illegal hillside outpost and demolish nine homes vacated by court order, marking the government's first such move since last summer's Gaza pullout. At the same time, soldiers are preparing to head into the volatile city of Hebron to evict a small group of Israeli families living in the city's deserted Palestinian market.
After watching ideological allies ousted from their Gaza Strip homes with relatively little trouble, the West Bank settlers are vowing to mount a stronger defense in a bid to halt any attempts to force even more Israelis from their disputed homes. Few Israelis claim that Gaza is part of the biblical land of Israel, but many consider the West Bank, the biblical lands of Judea and Samaria, to be part of their country.
This barren, rocky hilltop and the Hebron market could become the testing grounds not only for Olmert as he takes over as prime minister from the stroke-stricken Ariel Sharon, but also for the settlement movement, which has been trying to regroup since its summer setbacks.
Mark Regev, a spokesman for Israel's foreign ministry, said the government has no plans to back down in the brewing battle with settlers.
"Israel takes its road map commitments very seriously," he said.
In recent days, Israeli forces have clashed with settlers at different flashpoints across the West Bank. On Wednesday, soldiers demolishing temporary structures at another illegal outpost near Bethlehem used tear gas on opponents. Last week, settlers in Hebron pelted soldiers with stones and eggs when they tried to present eviction notices to eight families that have been living in a Palestinian market for three years. The evictions, expected in the next few weeks, are expected to be especially risky since the settlers in the region are among the most confrontational in the West Bank.
On Thursday, dozens of singing settler girls temporarily blocked the entrance to Amona amid rumors that government officials were coming to prepare for the home demolitions. Trucks carrying sleeping bags and supplies for the expected showdown zipped through the quiet hilltop streets. The homes themselves sat vacant on the far edge of the hilltop.
Although the number of homes is small, settlers view the plans to topple the Amona houses as the first, dangerous step in abandoning land they view as their biblical homeland.
"In Gush Katif, we didn't succeed," said Orit Caspi, referring to the Gaza Strip settlement. The 27-year-old settler from Hebron is leading efforts to protect Amona. "This time it will be stopped."


A Tesla Model X has set the world record for heaviest tow by electric production passenger vehicle when it pulled a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner at the Melbourne Airport in Australia. The video can be viewed on YouTube. Inverse reports: As probably expected, the plane far exceeds the Model X's recommended tow limit of around 5,000 pounds. In fact, the weight of the unloaded 787 with a minimal amount of fuel came closer to around 300,000 pounds. The airline pulled the Dreamliner around 1,000 feet down the tarmac. The stunt was part of a wider campaign around Qantas' new work with Tesla, which involves offering high-powered chargers at its Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide facilities as well as offsetting miles for Tesla drivers that are also frequent flyer members.

Q: How to do user selectable background in own app in android? I have an android app which is a simple home screen. What I want is to create an option where users can select background by themselves. Currently I have made the option but it does not hold the background after I restart or press back button. It goes back to the background what I set in the xml file as android:background. Is there any way out? I heard by using shared preference it's possible. but don't know how to do it. Can any one help on this?

A: Assuming you have several backgrounds available for them to choose and they select one and you want to simply store the id of the background they have chosen you would do this:
SharedPreference sp = getSharedPreferences("uniqueString", 0);
Editor editor = sp.edit();
editor.putInt("userBG", 5);// this is assuming the user picked your 5th bg
editor.commit();

Then onCreate in your activity you can load the SharedPreference again and...
int userPic = sp.getInt("userBG", 0); //this will either pull a previously saved number or return 0 (or whatever number you choose to provide as the default there.

That's it.
Here's the example from google, in case my snippet isn't sufficient...
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html
Note that if you're storing an int, you can store the drawable id of the background itself, which saves you one step of translation. You can then just pull the resource directly into the background of your parent layout.

PARDONS UNDER THE GREAT SEAL.
HC Deb 06 April 1818 vol 37 cc1207-10 1207
§ Mr. F. Douglas
said, that as he understood no opposition would be made to his motion for leave to bring in a bill to diminish the fees on Pardons under the Great Seal, he should make only a few observa- 1208 tions. The amount of the fees to be paid on all such pardons was much greater than those who had not taken the trouble to inquire into the subject could probably imagine. They amounted to 110l. on each pardon. It was obvious, that the great majority of those who received pardons, could not pay this expense, and the House might be curious to know how the difficulty had been got over. In fact, very few of those to whom mercy was extended, obtained this complete pardon, which alone could make them competent witnesses in a court of justice. There had been only twelve pardons during the last seven years; and he was convinced, that in consequence, great impediments had been thrown in the way of public justice. He could not better illustrate this than by stating the circumstance which first called his attention to the subject. In the district of Oxfordshire with which he was connected, some of the worst sort of crimes had been committed for some time with impunity, and there was at last a prospect of bringing the perpetrators to punishment by means of the evidence of a man who had formerly been convited of a felony. The act of the 31st of the king, which made persons who had been convicted of larcenies competent witnesses did not apply to felonies, and it was necessary to sue out the pardon under the great seal. The parties who conducted the prosecution were, however, astonished, when they found that the expense of this pardon would be 110l. in addition to the other heavy expenses which they were obliged to incur, and they were almost deterred from pursuing their object finally, they did proceed, and were thus subjected to a considerable burthen. The hon. member observed, that if there were any thing in the case or character of a person convicted which rendered it proper to extend to him the mercy of the Crown by the grant of a pardon, it was too much to say that such person should be compelled to pay the expense which at present attached to such a grant. To remove this evil was the object of the bill which he meant to bring forward. He did not think it proper to extend the provisions of the act of the 31 st of the king to felons, and therefore he felt the necessity of another course of proceeding, in order to guard against the mischief, on the one hand, of allowing the officers of the Crown to derive pecuniary benefit from the extension of the royal mercy; and on the 1209 other, to provide that persons should not be exempted from that mercy, merely because they had no pecuniary means. The hon. member concluded with moving, "That leave be given to bring in a Bill for diminishing the Expense of Pardons under the Great Seal."
The Attorney-General
said, that he did not mean to oppose the motion; but from what the hon. member had stated, he felt it necessary to submit a few observations. The patents for pardon, the object of which was to restore convicts to their civil rights, were patents under the great seal, which were, in fact, subject to no more expense than was incurred for all other patents under the same seal, and that expense was necessary for purposes easily to be explained. One part of this expense was required to reward the clerks in office, for their trouble in doing the business connected with those patents; another to pay the stamp duties imposed by the legislature. Those duties on each patent amounted in one office to 6l., and in another to 30l. The portion of the sum received for the warrant of pardon in the secretary of state's office was invested in what was called the Fee Fund, out of which the clerks engaged in this branch of the business of that office, and the law officers of the Crown, were rewarded for their trouble. There was also a part of the expense incurred for a patent paid into the privy seal office. But it should be understood, that the greater part, if not the whole of the expense stated by the hon. member independently of the stamp duties, was paid for duty actually done in the several offices to which he had alluded. The propriety of providing a remuneration for such trouble, or performance of duty, was, indeed, felt by the Crown itself; for whenever it was found absolutely necessary to pardon convicts, with a view to render them competent witnesses for promoting the ends of justice, the expense of such pardons was paid by the Crown itself. But where a pardon was granted from favour—he did not mean from improper favour, but through peculiar circumstances connected with the case or character of the individuals—it was proper, he submitted that the expense incurred by such pardon should be defrayed by that person, and that the clerks in the several offices should not be called upon to do business for nothing. For although those clerks might, in such cases, be said to have little 1210 else to transact than mere matters of form, requiring no talent, still their time was employed, and for such employment they were, in justice entitled to remuneration. It was known that some clerks in the secretary of state's office, as well as the clerk in the attorney-general's office, reckoned upon the fees resulting from patents as a part of their salaries for labour actually performed. Whatever might be done upon this subject, he thought that a distinction ought to be made with respect to pardons granted on patents obtained through special grace or favour. The hon. and learned gentleman concluded with observing, that the hon. mover had not been able to make out any case in which pardons were ever made a matter of traffic, or that a pardon was ever granted from any consideration of official emolument.
§ Leave was given to bring in the Bill.

Beacon Hill Safe Streets is a neighborhood group working to create safe streets for everyone; all ages and all abilities.
BHSS (Beacon Hill Safe Streets) are neighbors who come together to discuss street related safety issues and work to find solutions to those issues. These issues can be varied, sometimes we're working on a specific problem like speeding near a school or a crossing that isn't working for students. Other times you might be commenting on the latest city plan for the bike network.
We're community led and driven, your issues are our issues.
Beacon Hill Safe Streets is a grassroots neighborhood organization working to support a livable and vibrant Beacon Hill neighborhood where residents of all ages and abilities feel safe and comfortable walking or bicycling. We are affiliated with Seattle Neighborhood Greenways, a city-wide organization with a similar vision that coordinates and supports a coalition of separately-organized neighborhood community groups.
People who live, work, and play on Beacon Hill are who make us work. We need your time, thoughts, and efforts to get things done. If you have an issue that needs work, let us know but also be prepared to help get it fixed. If you just want safe streets for all, that's amazing too!

Nineteen and the Silver Fox go cycling in France.
Photographs from Twyford Round Table's annual cycling trip, this year to Nord Pas De Calais in France. Catching an early ferry on Saturday morning we left vehicles in Coulogne before setting off on our bikes for St Omer, stopping in Ardres for a far-too-big, not suitable for cycling, type lunch. A few navigational hiccups later we arrived at our destination (we're blaming Google maps).
After a great night out in St Omer we set off back to Calais in the morning, stopping off at the extremely impressive "Blockhaus" in Éperlecques. This was a liquid Oxygen factory and launch site for V2s although never properly finished because the allies bombed it to bits when they discovered it. A huge block of concrete with a massive internal space for holding and launching the V2 rockets. Plenty of sobering reminders of the humans cost of the place too, which was built mainly with forced labour from the concentration camps (especially once the bombing started). The ride ended with a big hill (climb and descent) followed by a 10 mile stretch of easy riding along the Calais – St. Omer Canal.
Thanks to the Sports officer for his excellent planning of the trip, however, the star of the weekend has to be the recalcitrant Silver Fox (a bike so bad that it had to be ridden in shifts).
