How to retire with $1 million
Saving a large nest egg is not an impossible goal, especially if you start young. These strategies can help you become a millionaire.
Saving $1 million for retirement is a realistic goal for most workers, but it will take a considerable amount of effort to get there. And there are plenty of fees, taxes and penalties that could make it even more difficult to hit this worthy savings target. These strategies will help you to save $1 million over the course of your career:
Start young. The easiest way to save $1 million is to begin saving at your first job. If you start saving at age 25, you could save just $4,682 per year and reach $1 million by age 65, assuming 7 percent annual returns, according to calculations by David Fernandez, a certified financial planner for Wealth Engineering in Scottsdale, Ariz. "You could do that by maxing out a Roth IRA or saving in a 401k," Fernandez says. "If you wait until 35, the amount you need to save more than doubles." Beginning at age 35, you will need to save $9,894 each year to accumulate $1 million at age 65. If you further delay saving, you'll need to tuck away $22,798 annually beginning at 45 or $67,643 at 55 if you hope to be a millionaire upon retirement at 65.
Set intermediate goals. While saving $1 million might be your ultimate retirement goal, it helps if you set some intermediate goals along the way. "If you've gotten to save $50,000 or $100,000, then you can do something significant that is important to you to celebrate," says Mary Brooks, a certified financial planner for Brooks Financial Planning in Colorado Springs, Colo. "Your enthusiasm is renewed because you really feel like you have gotten someplace."
Keep expenses low. Pay attention to the expense ratio of each investment you choose, and try to select those with low fees and expenses. "Always go for low-cost investments. The only thing you can control is what you pay for stuff," says Walter Romatowski, a certified financial planner for Castellan Financial Advisors in Palo Alto, Calif. "For most people, it probably makes sense to invest in index funds because they typically have lower expenses as compared to actively managed funds. You can pay 0.1 percent or 1 percent, and that makes a huge difference over your lifetime."
Minimize taxes. Saving in a traditional 401k or IRA can reduce your current tax bill and will allow your savings to grow without the drag of income tax. For example, a worker in the 25 percent tax bracket who contributes $5,000 to a traditional IRA will save $1,250 on his current tax bill, potentially allowing him to save that extra $1,250 for retirement. You won't have to pay the taxes until you withdraw the money in retirement. Alternatively, you could pre-pay the income tax using a Roth IRA or Roth 401k, and no additional taxes will be due on the growth when you withdraw the money in retirement or leave the money to heirs.
Get your employer to chip in. If your employer offers a 401k match or makes other contributions to your 401k, you will get to $1 million much faster than by saving on your own. "If you have an employer 401k plan or 403b plan, get the employer match if your employer matches," Romatowski says. "If you don't do that, you are just giving away free money."
Don't inflate your lifestyle. As you get raises, try not to increase your spending. Instead, save at least a part of the extra income. "Every time you get a raise, bump your company 401k contribution up by another percent or two," Fernandez says. "That way, you don't even notice it that you are saving more." Also, consider saving a portion of other windfalls, including inheritances and tax refunds.
Avoid early withdrawals. Obviously, if you tap into your 401k and IRA accounts before retirement, it will be more difficult to accumulate a significant nest egg. The negative effects of early withdrawals also include missing out on valuable compound interest, paying the income tax that will be due on the amount withdrawn and incurring a 10 percent early withdrawal penalty if you are under age 59 1/2.
Don't spend it too quickly. While $1 million may feel like a lot of money, spread over a 30-year retirement, it is likely to provide a modest income. "One million bucks gives you roughly $40,000 of income per year," Romatowski says. "If you save diligently, you can get to $1 million. It just takes a lot of discipline." While becoming a millionaire isn't likely to produce a lavish retirement, gradual withdrawals combined with Social Security payments will likely be enough to provide a comfortable retirement in many parts of the country.
U.S. News & World Report:
How many lower income people have cell phones? How many have cable? Before you say "I know lots", the stats say 91% of households have some sort of subscription TV, and 86% have cell phones. That's a start. Mine run about $125 per month or $1500 per year.
You want to talk IPODS and $1 down loads, apps, and internet service on those phones?
How many lower income people smoke? At $6.50 a pack, a pack a day is $2000 per year.
Just giving up the three C's (cell, cable, cigs) would put a tidy $3500 minimum a year into an IRA. 30-40 years of that and you at least a quarter to a third of the way there. Smoke two packs, have premium channels, and internet service with your phone and you can double that. Just the phone and the cable and you have 100k after 30-40.
Lots of ways to save that require little more than better choices, and that applies to all income levels.
It can work like they say if you stick to it. I'm retireing on December 31 just shy of being 65. I have saved for 42 years in a 401K and have accumulated about $1.3M. No mortgage or credit card debt and vehicles and toys are paid for.
It is never to late to maximize your 401K contributions. A stable mutual fund works best.
One million bucks at 3% would be just over 30 grand worth of yearly interest, or $2500.00 a month. Maybe more if you can get a 5% rate of interest. Luckily you have another grand coming from some diehard pension or maybe SS, $3500.00 to $5200.00 a month, not bad if you own your home and have a nice little car in the garage. Yeah, I know being an optimist is my best virtue.
But it is possible.
No matter what your age, do your best and save as much money as you can. Even a small retirement nest egg is better than no money at all. You will be amazed how quickly your money will grow and how saving a little now motivates you into saving more as the years go by.
Don't worry about what others have and what you do have. Enjoy your life and don't listen to all the people who say it can be done. Educate yourself on investing. Seek financial advice but do not let the so called experts control your financial plan. Remember you are your best Financial Planner.
I am looking forward to a simple retirement of doing what I want, when I want. My garden, the grand kids and time spent with my wife.
The most important way to achieve wealth is to have a plan. I started working in my teens. My parents taught me the value of saving, living within your means, staying out of debt, and having a rainy day fund. I took my parent advice to heart and saved at an early age. When I was in my twenties I invested my money in conservative assets as did my parents. I had savings and checking accounts, CD's, government bonds, and money market funds.
Of course, when I was in my twenties the interest rates were much higher than today and I made good income on that interest. When I was in my thirties I learned to invest in equities, mutual funds, corporate bonds, and other investment vehicles. It was also in my thirties that I took a more active role in my retirement and investment planning.
What I have learned since I was a teenager that if you start saving and investing when you are younger it will be much easier for you when you get close to retirement age. When you are young and save the importance of power of compounding becomes evident when you are older. You can start small and build on your investments as the years go by. You should also take advantage of employer sponsored retirement plans that match your savings contributions. Why give away free money by not taking advantage of an employer match?
When you are older you can grow your retirement accounts by using the catch-up election in your 401K and IRA plans. I am in my fifties and do not plan on retiring for another ten years. I am on track to achieve my retirement and investment goals.
My advice to anyone who would like to achieve wealth is to start saving and investing when you are young, live within your means, stay out of debt, have a rainy day fund, budget yourself, and have an investment and retirement plan.
You do have to start early though, and try to start with just enough to get any employer match. And whenever you get a raise, dedicate half of it to increasing your retirement contribution. Repeat over thirty years and you'll do just fine, even in boring index funds.

Re: Waves of Blue---Ojo Healing
God Veronica!!..you have a huge heart. I could feel every moment you were talking about. The energy started to swirl around me and I received so much healing just reading your words. God Bless You Dear One. Are you sure that you are gay or is your soul just advanced to the point where you resonate with the goddess energy. To me the goddess energy is more powerful and on this planet it is more spiritual. For the light beings of this planet to do there work they need to be in touch with that energy. For me I need that goddess energy around me in a mate situation so that my vibrational frequency stays where it should be. If I have the male energy (or God energy) around me, which our planet has has basically castrated, my vibrational energy is drained. Did you not notice that allot of people who are metatphysical, both male and female carry allot of goddess energy and they are constantly seeking to mate with someone who carries the same energy so that they can progress further on their path. I think that there will be a new lable soon instead of Gay that decribes these type of beings. Their is nothing wrong with being gay, but I really believe that what we are drawn to (us light workers) has a different lable. I don't know what that is, but it could be...goddess-sensuality-spirituality. I think it is sexuality turned into a higher "spiritual sensuality" that allows souls that are balanced to merge on a higher vibrational plane. In my search, I would have relationships with some women but when I tried to lable myself as gay or bi-sexual, it didn't fit. When I was in a relationship I felt myself constantly shift into people, the people that I had been before. Now, I still shift but I'm finding myself shifting to higher parts of me that are more adrogynous and more balanced. This is not black and white, we are spiritual beings who are adrogynous who can shift to whatever form we need to be to learn. The lable of gay, straight or bi-sexual can no longer apply to light workers, it is not logical anymore. Those lables belong to mainstream people who need to see things in black and white. They need to have everyone in a box so that they can feel in control and know where everyone is. I do believe we as light workers are pushing those boundaries and will no longer allow ourselves to be labled or put into boxes. Even the lesbian community does not allow for bi-sexuality, they get very upset if you will not be in their box. They are part of the mainstream community also. When I met you I saw a balanced spirit, I know that the pressure to lable ourselves so that everyone knows where we stand or where we fit is overwhelming, but I really believe that those lables limit us and does not state the whole picture of who we are. Mating with someone is energy to energy, sometimes that energy is male and then to shifts to female all within the same body. I have seen male/female relationships where both energies are male, does that make them gay? We need new terms. I hope this makes sense. I hope I haven't offended you in anyway. This stuff has been coming to me for awhile. If you want, you can let me know what you think.
Love and Light,

Great interview Ariel. He's one of my favorite MMA journalists.
Ariel Helwani, best MMA reporter, period.
yeh helwani gets the best interviews i hope he is getting paid……he needs a tv show or something more than that radio show….

Helwani likes to stir up a lot of crap. Reminds me of a middle schooler running around saying "ooohh did you hear what he said?". Right on, if some idiots can't appreciate these two legends going to war then they should watch Desperate Housewives instead.

I ended up printing some 11x17 prints of the artwork used, and sold them at Calgary Expo (Apr 27-29) and even ended up getting some signed by John DiMaggio himself (Jake).
This project was nothing but pure love and fun, can't wait to do another. I might release these prints online, not entirely sure yet. Follow me on Twitter for announcements.

november full moon
Each month has a full moon and they all have a name assigned to them. November is called the Full Beaver Moon because beaver traps are set at this time of year so that beaver furs can be used throughout the winter months. Also, this is the smallest full moon of the year. I thought this was interesting. Hope you do too.
thank you!
I wasn't aware of any of this until I read your post ~ thanks, Joanne!
The Full Beaver Moon was glorious! Against the backdrop of the star-lit canvas ... gazing at it was, for me, one of those drop to your knees "Oh my God, how infinite are your wonders" moments for me.
It's cold now here in New Jersey, and I can see my breath when I walk at night.
Breathing in, I remember that I am a child of God; I am made from stars.
Breathing out, I know that I am a child of the universe and to stardust I will return.
Lura :)
Love it!
What a wonderful message Lura!
Thanks Joanne for that! Fun facts!
I thought this full moon was beautiful also. Here it has been cloudy at night so the moon has been shining brightly though the clouds giving an eery appearance.
Shelley, don't you think the full moon is more beautiful sometimes when it is partially obscured by clouds?
Lura, loved what you wrote about walking at night. It always seems so quiet and peaceful. Even when it's cold!

A "peak" into the future
By C. Paul Davis
The sooner the key world oil players (oil company executives, consultants, advisors, economists, and my barber) come to an agreement on the world's oil energy supply the better. This includes Pro-Peak Oil advocates and Con-Peak Oil advocates. Today, we have confusion where we need clarity. Today, we have disagreement where we need agreement. Today, we lack an honest energy plan where we need a "real" plan. A plan we can agree on and one that will work.
Oil energy has only been with us for a short period of time (150 years), but it creates over 40% of the world's total energy supply. In fact 70% of this oil energy is used to produce gasoline or various distillates to meet today's transportation needs. Without enough oil (meaning enough oil supply to meet today's world oil demand) everything could come to a screeching halt–figuratively and literally.
The world won't run out of oil any time soon, but it is slowly running out of plentiful cheap oil. For all intents "cheap oil" is gone forever.
Also, if we don't have enough oil to make gasoline for our cars or fuel for our planes, trains, buses and trucks, where are we going to find the oil that we need to produce over 300,000 consumer products we use and need every day of our lives?
I want to believe so much that "unconventional oil and bio-fuels" will make up the short fall in oil supply, but based on what I know it can't happen today because of costs, a lack of land, destruction of the environment (land, air and water), and excessive need for our valuable water resources. Also, the Energy Returned on Energy Invested (EROEI) challenge must be addressed and solved. Right now unconventional oil requires more energy than the energy it produces. This is a far cry from the high EROEIs (20:1 or greater) we historically experience with conventional oil.
Even though I have personally come to accept Peak Oil as a reality based on my extensive study and due diligence over the past four years, at the same time, I want to be wrong – dead wrong – because the consequences are too dire, if Peak Oil is for real.
It is time for all of the major oil producing countries (particularly OPEC countries) to provide accurate and documented evidence regarding the magnitude of their oil reserves and the physical status of their oil fields. If we really wanted to know how bad the oil situation really is or, alternately, how really good the situation is, the information could be made available if there was a global sense of cooperation. The nice thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said—the facts are the facts. The time for truth has arrived or we as a country, and the world more generally, are going to go blindly down the energy road not knowing what lies ahead.
Comprehensive studies undertaken by Messrs. Hirsch, Bezdec, Wending, and others found that it will take at least two decades to build the infrastructure and implement the requisite major changes in moving from oil energy to alternative forms of energy and we are just barely getting started.
If the Obama Administration would make finding a solution to oil energy a high priority, I know the scientists and engineers of our country could invent or find some viable answers to the current world energy crisis. As I write these words, I fully realize that there are some well-known and respected people in the energy world who will state emphatically (and often) that we don't have an oil energy problem and we have enough oil for at least the rest of the 21st Century.
Whether the debate is global warming or peak oil, I always ask one question of the people who say the world doesn't have a problem in either area – "What happens if you are wrong?"

Apple Cider Vinegar, Hydrogen Peroxide 5 3
Approval Ratings
[NAY] Upon finding this website, I have tried several cures for my seborrheic dermatitis. I have had no success. I followed the instructions as best as I could, but to no avail. I see no changes to my scalp. I also tried dunking my head in the bowl of ACV for 10 minutes. No major change.

03/13/2009[NAY] "After trying many prescribed medications from my dermatologist and other suggestions on the Internet, I tried the Apple Cider Vineger remedy by mixing one part vineger, one part peroxide, and 10 parts warm water, as instructed. I used this solution for two nights, and it made my Seborrhea worse. Maybe this is good for dandruff caused by this condition, but for the red bumps and itching and rash, it made it worse. My doctor told me my Seborrhea is "chronic," meaning I will always have it in some degree of outbreak. Also, he said it is hereditary. I remember my mother always touching her head, but I don't remember her being diagnosed with this condition. I am 68 years old, and I have had this condition for a year now. I was told that stress can cause it, and I have been under a lot of stress this past year. People on this and other websites have suggested that diet may have something to do with Seborrhea, and that cutting out everything white, such as bread, rice, etc. would help the condition. Has anyone been successful with this procedure? My dermatologist told me that when the prescribed medications he gave me no longer keep the condition somewhat abated, then I have to call him, and he will change the prescription to another type. I just worry about losing my hair with all of these strong medications.Posted by Rudi (Propect Park, NJ) on 02/13/2006
[YEA] I have suffered from dandruff, then later to become, Seborrheic Dermatitis since I was 15 years old! I've used ALL, every single kind of dandruff shampoo known to the human consumer, and all of them only were able to treat or control my problem but only temporarily. Eventually, my scalp grew accustom to the "shampoo of the month" I was using, then I would begin to develop those ever so common flaky scales on my scalp, which forced me to look for yet another new dandruff shampoo. I'm now 35, and I'm now using Selsun Blue's new seborrheic dermatitis formula which seemed to control my SD, but just like the great many of them, after a couple of years using it, I already began noticing that my scalp was once again flaking. Many dermatologists told me to change my diet, to alternate shampoos, to use cortizone creams, that it's stress related and to "relax", and NONE of those suggestions worked!
A month ago, I browsed online and found a website claiming of a cure to SB..., Apple Cider Vinegar and Hydrogen Peroxide! It states to mix 1 part ACV, 1 part Hydrogen Peroxide, and 10 parts water. Simply soak your head with the solution for 2 to 3 minutes (I did it for 5 minutes), then wash/shampoo your hair as usual. I AM NOT LYING TO YOU, this ACTUALLY WORKED! It's been over 2 month now, and I have NOT seen any signs of flaking whatsoever! NONE! Furthermore, with my condition, if I didn't wash my hair every day, by the second day, I would already have flakes, and, if by some unusual circumstance I could not wash my hair a third day, I would have so much visible flaking and itching, that it would actually be to the point of embarrasment. (No weekend camping trips for me.) However, to test to see if this really worked, I purposely did not wash my hair for 3 days! And still NO FLAKES, GONE! What I did was wrap an old towel all around my head, making sure to cover all my hair lines, and I slowly poured the mixture slowly over my covered head, letting the towel soak it in, but not to the point of it dripping everywhere. I just used the wet towel to rub all around my scalp mainly in my problem areas, for a good 5 minutes. I then showered and washed my hair as usual, and VIOLA, this God forsaken problem is gone! After all these years, completely GONE! Don't get me wrong I'm still being a little skeptical, but still have no flakes! Of course, I'm still using my same shampoo, but once it's finished, the real test will be to use something like Johnson's Baby Shampoo. I'll keep you posted if something happens. Good Luck!Posted by Keith (Charlotte, NC)
[YEA] I have been suffering from s/d for atleast 10 years. i started to see a doctor for it about 7 years ago. i have tried every cream and pill and shampoo they perscribed me and it will work for about a month and then come back. i had s/d real bad to the point where when i went to the barber shop , i will be very embarrassed by the time i was ready to leave from the mountain of flakes that would fall from my scalp. on monday 11/28/05 i logged on to this website and read some stories then i went to the store and purchased some a/c vinegar for $1.00 and some peroxide for $.88 and used it right away. today is friday and i took my shower and used my mixture like i have now for a week and i am happy to say that not one flake fell from my scalp when i brushed my hair!!!! i have spent hundreds of dollars on perscriptions and they were all garbage, i go to my local supermarket and spend 2 bucks and i get results in a week. i plan on using the mixture for one more week then once a month after that. i hope i have finally beat this thing. i also plan on telling my rich dermatologist how 2 bucks cured me. thank you for the info.Posted by Reader (Columbus, Ohio)
[YEA] I used apple cider vinegar and hydrogen peroxide. I figured out an easier way than drenching my whole head in the liquid. I put the mix it in a squirt bottle filling about 1/5 hydrogen peroxide and the rest with the apple cider vinegar. You just hold the tip close to your head and squirt your scalp. Massage in and leave on for about 10 minutes. Then shampoo as usual. I have done this three times. The first time I had more flakes than ever before! I thought maybe that means it is working, so I did it again. The second time nearly all of the flakes were gone. After the third time I couldnt find a flake. My scalp looks so great! It is so nice to know that I am not putting some expensive toxic medication on my skin. Thank you everyone for your posts and for those who haven't tried it or didn't think it worked; do it at least 3 times before giving up. It works!

[YEA] YEA- Seborrheic Dermatitis
Apple Cider Vinegar & Tea Tree Oil cured my Seborrheic Dermatitis
I had Seborrheic Dermatitis for approximately 2 years on different parts of my scalp. I went to a dermatologist and of course he couldn't explain why I have it because they really don't know. Some doctors say it's caused by stress. I've tried dandruff shampoos (all brands) and shampoos prescribed by my dermatologist. The shampoos helped at the beginning but after the first bottle they would become ineffective. And the flakes and itching would just come back even worse. I got tired of wasting money on doctor's visits and ineffective shampoos and thank God I stumbled upon this website. The ACV and Tea Tree Oil worked a miracle on me.
I filled an 8 ounce spray bottle with 4 oz. ACV and 4 oz. water. I sprayed my scalp with the mixture and left it on for about one hour. It does smell but trust me it's worth it. After, I just washed my hair like I always do. I immediately checked and most of the flakes had been washed away. I just thought, tomorrow they will be back. But, the flakes were gone. I was so excited that I also started drinking the ACV with orange juice twice a day (4 tbsp. of ACV in a glass of orange juice). Two days later I sprayed my scalp with the mixture and left it overnight and just washed my hair in the morning.
I am also using the Tea Tree Oil for prevention. I put 10 drops of Tea Tree Oil for every 8 oz. of shampoo. I tried just putting drops of it on my scalp but it smells very very strong.
For those who are worried because they dye their hair; it is totally safe. I have color treated hair and I had no problems with fading.
It's been about 2 months now and I have NO flakes, NO scabs and NO itching. I haven't had to spray the ACV mixture in my scalp again, but I currently shampoo with regular shampoo which I just add the Tea Tree Oil and I drink the ACV with orange juice about 4 times a week.
Apple Cider Vinegar, Zinc Oxide Cream 1 0
Approval Ratings YEA (1) 100% Posted by Paul P. (Perth, Wa, Australia) on 05/09/2013
[YEA] Hi everyone, I want to share this information with as many people as possible because I find it very helpful. Recently I had really bad seborrheic dermatitis on my scalp and face. I read this forum and decided to try ACV. I applied it undiluted and let it dry on my face. It made the rash look worse (bright red), but I still kept applying it for another 2 days. I also washed my hair with head and shoulders anti dandruff shampoo once a day during this time. After 2 days I started applying zinc oxide cream. This stuff makes the skin look very white and it's hard to goout in public.
I think the ACV is good as the first treatment because it must kill the bacteria (also irritates the skin), and then the zincoxide helps the skin repair.
3 days is sufficient for completely healed skin.

[YEA] After 15 years of struggling with seborrheic dermatitis of the face and scalp I am finally free of this horrible condition. For me it wasn't a deficiency but something I was allergic too which caused my body to react and therefore create this condition. Everyone is different but if you are still struggling with this condition and cannot find out why here is my feedback. I used and tried everything under the sun and the sun (uvb therapy). Vinegar, which was a big help for awhile but not a cure all, all types of cream, soaps, shampoos, vitamins, mineral, amino acids, immune boosters, immune suppressants etc. All of this adding stuff here and there but did not think to take a look at stuff I use everyday. Sulfates are my biggest enemy, especially sodium laurel sulfate. This is my cause of seborrheic dermatitis. It was in the shampoo I was using for 10 years and I quit using it and my scalp got was free of flakes but my face was not and I could not figure out why.
So fast forward 5 years later I went back to using a shampoo with SLS and bam it was back on my scalp worse than ever and my face got alot worse. So I switched my shampoo back to an all natural and my scalp cleared but my face remained a red flaky mess. So one day I checked every product that I used and the SLS was in the last place I could imagine... In my toothpaste!!! I felt so dumb that I had never seen that before.
So I switched to an all natural toothpaste that is SLS free and viola... Face is as clear as ever. I guess it was circulating through my gumline making my face breakout. Ok that was the silver bullet. But you must repair the skin barrier that had been damaged by this chemical. I found a product called _____ cleanser and moisturizer that is SLS free and this repaired my skin. I do not use it anymore simply because I do not need too. *I am not trying to sell anything on here just trying to help someone if possible. Just avoid all SLS which is in 99% of products out there. Peace out. PatPosted by Caitlin

48 PostsPat, thanks SO much for this entry. I have the same facial problems and it really flared up last week after weeks of great looking skin and scalp. What did I do wrong, I wondered, viewing my ravaged, 1000 tiny bumps, flaking, itching skin in the mirror? Well, in a hurry, I had used my daughters regular toothpaste that she left on the sink. Mind you, I only used it once! My husband and I originally thought it was the great, California sweet oranges I ate. Then, thanks to your article I looked at her toothpaste and low and behold, the enemy, SODIUM LAURYL SULFATE (SLS) was present. I tell ya, vigilance is quite the necessity with man-made products. While I wait out the 4 days it will take my skin to get back to clearness, I will more dilligently stick to my natural mix: BS, peppermint oil & HP. Thanks for the heads up! Peace to ya as well....

[YEA] Years ago a cosmetologist told me I had Seborrheic dermatitis, because my skin produced too much oil. This causes enlarged pores, red face, clogged pores, and basically you look like you don't wash your face very often. Other than drugs I was told to deal with it. So I have, until now...
I tried Mule Borax for my hair because I wanted to put fewer chemicals on my body and I heard great reviews. It's odd and tough to get used to and I'm not sure I like it. But that's another post. As a side effect it ran over my face in the shower. A few days later I noticed my face was different. It wasn't as red, it was less oily, and my pores were not clogged. Thrilled beyond imagination I did it for a few more days to make sure. Yes it really works!!!! My pores are shrinking!!!
(FYI the concentration is different for everyone. It depends upon your water. We have fairly hard water. Basically if the water feels soft you probably have added enough. If you feel oily after you shower then use more next time)
- pour Borax in a container, about 1/4 cup
- add hot water and stir to dissolve ( ignore the crystals that don't dissolve)
- ( my container is 8 cups because I'm using it on my hair)
- pour on face and scrub hand over face
- repeat about 3 times
- rinse
- Try in shower every day for a week, then see if your face is different
I'm sure there is a reason why this works, but I don't care. I'm just so excited!!!! It's the best $2 I've ever spent!! Thanks Earth Clinic!!!

[WORKED TEMPORARILY] I have been struggling with seborrheic dermatitis on my face for 5 years. I have tried everything - drastic diet changes, candida elimination, probiotics, apple cider vinegar, topical steroids, msm sulfur, betaine hydrochloride, pancreatic enzymes, vitamin C, oil of oregano, flax oil, etc etc etc. A year and a half ago, I also developed perioral dermatitis and ocular rosacea. I read about borax and I decided to give it a try, taking 1/8 a tablespoon of borax in a liter of water for 3 days straight. After the third day, things were definitely changing but not noticeably better. I then decided to try to use borax topically. I combined a 1/2 tablespoon of borax with some hydrogen peroxide mixed with 50% water and I put it on my face then rinsed it off after about 30 seconds. It worked! My face feels as smooth as it did when I was a child, and my ocular rosacea is gone too. I didn't even remember what it was like to have normal feeling skin on my face with no rough patches, flaking, or redness. And I can't believe my eyes are back to their normal shape! I am so relieved. I feel and look like myself again for the first time in years. It seems miraculous. I am so so so grateful. What an excellent site. I suppose my problem was demodex skin mites, and the borax/hydrogen peroxide combo has eliminated them. I hope my experience will help someone else.

10/14/2007Borax was not taken internally later on of 1/8 teaspoon in one liter of drinking water and only the borax and peroxide was applied externally. That's probably why it didn't work. Of course, getting the pH to 7 is still important. Dietary sugars and acid forming food is what is causing the seborrheic dermatitis.Posted by Billy72

12/16/2010Hi, I just wondered Ted - are you saying to apply the borax/peroxide externally and drink internally in order to clear it long term?Posted by Self
12/17/2010Hey there Bill, That's what Ted is saying, oral and topical borax-H2O2 are two popular remedies he suggests for various skin disorders like this (often caused by mites). Oral Borax & H2O2: 1/8 teaspoon borax and half cap (or 30 drops) of 3% H2O2 in one liter of water (drink this throughout the day). When it's done, drink plain water. Topical Borax-H2O2: Add enough 1 to 1. 5% H2O2 to borax to make a paste and apply it to the problem area. Repeat as needed. Borax can cause skin to get dry, so make sure to stay hydrated and use a good moisturizer (e.g. Jojoba oil) on dry skin.Posted by Billy72

[BETTER BUT NOT CURED] It only took me about 20 years to make the discovery, thanks to effective muscle testing at a local herb store here in Atlanta, but seborrheic dermatitis on the face can be managed by 3 things:
1. Taking Caprylic acid supplements (used to fight candida and fungal infections)
2. Taking a potent probiotic strain (mine contains l. acidophilus, l. rhamnosus, l. casei and b. longum)
3. Avoiding milk as much as possible
This is not a cure, but taking the above 2 supplements will make the rash disappear. 1-2 weeks to see results. It you have seb derm on the scalp, these 3 suggestions also may work for you too. Please let me know if it helps anyone!Posted by Isabel

I have done this 2x a week wince winter set in and it is perfect. No more flaking or redness.

[YEA] At 24 I had my first experience of seborrheic dermatitis, and had it for about 2 years. I can honestly remember one girl commenting 'it looks like his nose is turning green', to be honest I couldn't care less what she said, but there were times when i felt so low I didn't want to leave the house. I might have been exaggerating, but my nose was going from small red marks, to be inflamed burn marks, to a yellow gewy substance which would eventually harden.
I tried so many things. At first the steroid cream I used did the job in the short term. But it was no long term cure I was comfortable with. If I stopped using it it was back in a week. Maybe less. So I stopped using that pretty early. I also used aveeno yeast cream, aloe vera (from a bottle and from a plant), going on a yeast free and sugar free diet (to be honest this lasted about a month and a half, and don't think I went completely all out. But tried to cut the main stuff out), and garlic- none of these things worked.
Funnily enough, when I went to the states, it practically seemed to go on its own.
Then I decided to use coconut oil. externally (100% coconut oil- the brand is pukka). I applied it about once every day, not very much was needed as it is a very oily product. Actually I started by using this and taking it internally, eating crushed coconut from a jar with a spoon. but now I just apply it externally. I've been doing this for about 4 to 5 months now, and it is already feeling like a miracle cure, so I hope it carries on like this! I only had one major flare up since, whereas before I was getting one every other week. I hope I'm not speaking to soon, but it's really helped my confidence, and probably changed my life for the better. And something so simple! Just gotta thank the people on this website (and this website for this).
Of course a downside could be seen as it coming back if I stop using it. But who knows, it might even go for good!

[YEA] I have extreme seborhic dermatitis on both my scalp and eye lids. I went to a naturopathic chiropracter who practes applied kinesology and cold laser therapy. The best dermatologist and doctors in the Salt Lake Valley kept prescribing sterorids, and medicine and nothing worked. I finally went to a doctor who did cold laser therapy on my eye and scalp three times a week for six weeks and it is completly gone, and hasn't come back as of yet, and it has been over six months, I call him my miracle doctor. If you want more info on this type of doctor they use all natual cures, no prescriptions etc. check them out online.Posted by Lauren

06/28/2009Hey Hillary, I also have seborrheic dermatitis on my scalp and I have it on my eyebrows as well, I was wanting to try this cold laser therapy, I had a few questions though. At the chiropractic that you went to, had he done this before for conditions like yours? I'm afraid of getting it done at a chiropractic office if they only have experience on using it for muscle issues. Also how is your condition now, did it come back? Have you had to do maintenence therapy? I'm amazed that nothing came back even after 6 months, that is enough for me, but just curious what has happend now.

[YEA] What happened was I had dandruff bad and found that I had dermititis so the doctor that said that I had it said that it was caused by hormones. I didn't believe her so i tried everything -- a pokeroot concoction to meds. I did not like the meds I was on, so I soon found out that SD was caused by a fungus infection so I found a shampoo that had not long chemical names and put half a 4 oz bottle of dmso in it. Within a week it was gone and has been for almost 5 months. dmso will pull anything into your skin so no long named chemicals.

13.1 Los Angeles Giveaway Winner; GU Roctane Drink Mix Giveaway Winner; Random Shots of Beauty
I've got a slightly extended Random Shot of Beauty post for today – but first, it's time to announce the winners of two separate contests that took place this week.
As you'll recall, the 13.1 Marathon Los Angeles road race drawing was conducted in my typically random fashion – but as it turns out, the winner ended up being in the same neighborhood as the race. Lauren L: e-mail me – you're the winner, and I've got a free registration code for you.
On the other hand, the GU Roctane drink mix contest was completely subjective, and I had no ground rules other than to do something to make me choose you. This one was decided pretty early in the game, when RD Jim dropped his comment in the box. I mean … the dude made a video for me; after that, everyone else was pretty much competing for second place. (Although Anthony's comment and link to the mobile app page certainly piqued my interest – this is something I need to investigate a bit further.)
Anyway, congrats to the winners, and as always, thanks to everyone else for playing. Stay tuned for another giveaway contest next week.
With the holiday season in full swing, I've decided that for the rest of the month I'll change these weekend posts to Random Shots of Christmas instead of the customary RSOB. (Besides, there's beauty in Christmas, so I'm not breaking form too dramatically here.) On that note, I had my camera with me this morning …
… while hanging out with practically everyone else in town at a dilapidated airstrip in the middle of Carmel Valley Village …
…. where everyone awaited two special passengers arriving by air ...
Santa and Mrs Claus, making their customary appearance at the annual Santa's Fly-In event that has everything you could ever ask when it comes to quaint small-town traditions. After Santa mingles with all the kids, the fly-in is followed by a parade through the village …
… where Santa's sleigh gets towed by a tractor. It's just another of those distinctly Carmel Valley scenes that makes me happy to live here.
One unfortunate but unrelated postscript to the story is that while all this Christmas cheer was taking place, I was being left out of the Western States 2012 lottery. Now it's on to Plan B for next year, which is, um … actually, I don't really have a Plan B. So I guess my new Plan A is to come up with a Plan B. As soon as I figure something out, I'll be sure to let you know.

Amit Shah moves HC against FIRs on hate speeches
BJP leader Amit Shah on Wednesday moved the Allahabad High Court challenging the FIRs lodged against him by the UP government for alleged hate speeches made by him at election meetings in Bijnore and Shamli districts.
A division bench comprising justices Arun Tandon and Satish Chandra posted the matter for tomorrow while directing the state government to submit CDs of the speeches delivered by Shah at these two places.
Shah, who is the party's in-charge for UP and a close aide of BJP Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, has been booked under Section 153 A of IPC (promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion" and Section 125 of Representation of People Act (promoting enmity between classes in connection with election).
In the speeches delivered over the last weekend, Shah had allegedly exhorted members of the Jat community to "avenge" the killings of their caste brethren in the Muzaffarnagar communal violence by voting for the BJP.
Shah has sought a stay on his arrest in this connection besides quashing of the FIRs.

SPOKANE-- One Spokane County group is taking their message to the airwaves just before the special election.
In Spokane County, all but two school districts have levy measures on the ballot for the February 14th special election.
Pro-levy supporters just launched a new television ad campaign this week hoping to sway undecided voters to their side
You may have noticed this new commercial running on television.
Former Super Bowl MVP, and Shadle Park alumni, Mark Rypien, is featured in the new spot urging a "yes" vote for the Spokane Public Schools Levy.
This is not the first time a pro-levy television ad has run locally. With recent state cuts to local education, supporters say they really needed to get the word out.
Mike Livingston, with Citizens for Spokane Schools says, "we felt that there was probably a significant portion of the population that might be undecided in this, and that we wanted to make sure two things were communicated, one to remember to vote yes, and two, to obviously vote yes."
Citizens for Spokane Schools is the group behind the new commercial. Production, as well as the purchase of ad-time cost the group roughly $5,000.
The group is made up of more than 800 individual and business donners.
Opponents like Citizens for Responsible Taxation have yet to announce their plans, if any, to do a television spot. They say Washington schools already get $13.6 billion a year, and should better manage those existing funds.
For now, Citizens for Responsible Taxation they're sticking to other forms of advertising including postcard mailings and billboard signs.
Voters have less than a week to postmark their ballots for the February 14th special election.

Categories > Movies > Pirates of the Caribbean > Sparrow Spirit
Sparrow Spirit0 Reviews
I am a spirit sent to guide the Chosen Ones of the Movieverses. My second assigment, Captain Jack Sparrow in PotC! (Chapter 1)
A gentle, early morning sun rose slowly up over the horizon that had, until then been only dominated by night-blackened sea. The salt water was calm, for now. But any sailor, be they good or evil, could tell you that could change in a heartbeat into a violent typhoon. I knew that wasn't going to happen though, at least not yet.
I glided over the still cool Caribbean water. The infamous sea was cool this morning, as the sun had not yet gotten much of a chance to warm it. I was searching for my latest assignment. I knew he would be around here somewhere. To speed thing up a bit, I decided to use my powers to help me find them. I closed my eyes and concentrated on my target. A breeze picked up and I felt myself being guided along by it. When I opened my eyes I was confused though. I couldn't see the one I was meant to be guiding anywhere. I hovered high above the sea, turning in a slow circle to scan the entire horizon. I could see some cliffs in the distance. That meant that land wasn't too far away, but my assignment wouldn't be on land, not yet, so where the heck was he?
I sighed and frowned in frustration. Time was running out. I had a strong feeling that my assignment in this world wasn't going to be the easiest one to convince. It was going to take me a long time to completely earn his trust. I would need all the time I could get before the story really got going.
Out of impulse I looked down. I groaned and rolled my eyes. My assignment was stretched out in a small vessel right below me. I think he was asleep. Feeling just a bit stupid, I glided down and landed quietly on the mast. The boat had a rag stuffed into a hole in its bottom, obviously put there as a temporary solution to a serious problem that had to be fixed ASAP.
"That must be one of the reasons why Anna Maria was in Tortuga," I thought. "Too bad Jack didn't notice that before he 'barrowed' her boat."
Jack was the name of the man below me. Captain Jack Sparrow. He was a pirate captain. Some would argue that he was the worst one, but others would disagree. I was one of those who disagreed. So he didn't have a ship or a crew at the moment, but now he had me, and as long as he co-operated everything would turn out fine in the end.
The captain had his brown tri-cornered hat tipped over his face and his head was resting on his hands. I floated down to his level to wake him up. The sooner he met me, the sooner I could begin to earn his trust. "Jack? Jack?" I said loudly. He groaned. "Captain?" Jack removed a hand from under his head and lifted his hat from his face. Dark brown kohl-lined eyes peered up at me. "Good morning!" I smiled.
Jack looked me up and down with a surprised, but relatively calm expression on his face. "Well, this is an interesting dream," he said.
"I'm not a dream," I corrected him. Jack frowned.
"A stowaway from Tortuga then?" he asked. I shook my head.
"No, Jack," I said. "I'm a spirit. I was sent here to guide you through..." All of a sudden, Jack whipped out his pistol and pointed it at me. He stood up.
"You'd better start making sense," he warned.
"It's the truth!" I declared. "Just hear me out, okay?" I waited for his response. He waved his pistol at me.
"Well, go on."
"I am a spirit. Sort of like a guardian angel," I explained. "I have been sent here to guide you through your adventures for the next few weeks. You are the only one who can see, hear or feel me. Anyone else could walk right through me and not even know I was there. You have to trust me, Jack. If you don't, I won't be able to help you." Jack's face hadn't changed very much throughout my speech. He didn't say anything, but he cocked his pistol in response. I took that to mean that he didn't believe me.
"You have to believe me, Jack," I continued. "I know you may find that difficult at first, but you must do it. Please." Then I got an idea. "Here, I'll prove it to you."
My masters had granted me the power to fly whenever I wanted to during the time I was in this world. Slowly I lifted myself up into the air and hovered about a meter above the deck. Jack's pistol tracked me up. It was aimed at my chest. I'm sure I saw disbelief flash through Jack's eyes.
"Jack, put the pistol down," I gently ordered him. "You don't want to waste Barbossa's one shot on me. This definitely is not the opportune moment to use that." Jack gave me a look of confusion and concentration as he debated this in his mind. At last he uncocked his pistol and lowered it.
"How'd you know this shot is for Barbossa?" he asked. I shrugged.
"I don't know how I know. I just do. I don't know everything though, just the basics. I know he used to be your first mate ten years ago when you were going after the cursed treasure of Isla de Meurta. The island that cannot be found except if you already know where it is. Your compass points the way to that island." I pointed to the devise hanging from his waist. Jack's eyes flickered briefly there.
"Aye, so you know all that," he said. "What else do ye know?" I sensed that he was testing me.
"I know that Barbossa led the mutiny against you. He stole your ship, /The Black Pearl/." Jack looked away from me and turned his gaze to the sea, deep in thought. I kept talking. "They left you on an island to die, but you escaped after three days and have been hunting for them ever since."
Jack was silent for a bit, and then he found his voice. "Come down here," he ordered. I obeyed the command. "You could have picked up most of that from anywhere," he said. That wasn't quite true, but I could tell that he still didn't really believe me. I sighed.
"But I didn't," I insisted.
"How did I get off the island?" Jack asked. I smirked. This was definitely a test.
"Well, depending on which tall tale you tell to whomever will listen, you've escaped via everything from a raft made of sea turtles and hair from your back to becoming the chief of the cannibal natives on the neighboring islands. But I know what you really did." I took a step towards him. "You bartered a trip off with the rumrunners who have a cashe there." Jack arched an eyebrow. "So, now do you believe me?" I asked.
"Maybe," he responded. "I'll admit that you do know an awful lot. But I still see no reason to trust you."
"Fair enough," I said. I understood why Jack was slow to trust other people. He had trusted Barbossa and look where that had led him. But I was going to do something that Barbossa wouldn't do without a fight. "How about this then, if you trust me and don't tell anyone about me at all, I promise you that you will get your Black Pearl back." That seemed to strike a chord with the pirate. He looked at me, his still slightly doubtful eyes searching me for signs of truth.
"If I trust you and not say a word to anyone about you, I'll get my ship back."
"Yes, eventually," I assured him. I knew that Jack would do just about anything to get his ship back.
"And what would happen if I did mention you to somebody?" Jack asked.
"Well, then I would have to leave you and you would never get the Pearl back," I said. It was as simple as that. "Look, I genuinely want to help you, Jack. I don't know why, but I do. Stick with me and I swear you will not regret it." I took another step towards him and stuck out my hand. "Do we have an accord, Captain?"
Jack gave a small smile at being called by his title. He hesitated a moment before taking my hand and shaking it firmly. "Agreed," he said, making firm eye contact with me. I grinned.
"Success!" I cheered in my mind. "Good," I said aloud.
"I'm afraid I don't know yer name though, spirit," Jack said. "If I'm to be trusting you, it would be nice if I knew your name."
"Oh! I'm sorry. I have many names, but you can call me Calypso."
"All right, Calypso," Jack nodded. I smiled. Now that that hurdle was past, the story could finally begin.
