We've been here before, Georgie, again and again.
Look outside your head... Whether from RadioShed or high-end boutiques, how do people shop and use audio products?
Some people like fancy watches. I like to look at Rolexes and Patek Phillippesbut the idea of wearing something costing 20 grand or more, maybe a lot more, at the end of my simian arm where I can bang it to bits on a doorframe, strikes me as insane. Oh, well; I don't badmouth people who buy or wear such things, just because I choose not to. The prices might make me gasp in disbelief, but that happens with a lot of things.
Speaking of which: what about that Hermes bag recently shown in a Hong Kong shop windowpriced at the equivalent of $70,000 US? Is it more functional than a $70 bag? Likely not. Is it stunningly, heart-stoppingly beautiful? Ehh, not to me. Does the material or worksmanship justify the price? Not so much. I don't get it, but I don't hate someone who buys and carries such a bagunless she happens to be a Kardashian.
What about cars? Almost everybody loves cars. Unless it's horrifically whorified like the Beebs' leopard-print Audi R8, no one abuses the buyer of an expensive or exotic car, even ones which cost millions. There might be a head-shake or a "Really??", but reactions to expensive cars generally tend towards admiration or amusementnot violent rage.
Enter the audiophile. Short of announcing that you're an officer in NAMBLA, you've just gotten back from bow-hunting baby seals with Ted Nugent, and you've decided to cast Grandma adrift on an ice-floe in the "time-honored" wayalmost nothing you can do will guarantee a shit-storm of abuse like referring to yourself as "an audiophile."
Granted, anything ending in "-phile" tends to sound a tad precious and twee; how many wine-lovers refer to themselves as "oenophiles" without irony? But it's not just that damned pretentious word. It's...it's...well, what is it?
Music is everywhere. The iPod makes it possible for anyone to carry a zillion songs they might've liked once, anyway, everywhere they go. Fine. Carrying a 'Pod, wearing headphoneseven around the neckis acceptable. In certain circles, it's almost mandatory.
So why is it unacceptable, weird, even, to have a bunch of music at home, along with the gear needed to listen in a social environment where the pleasure of listening can be shared? Wouldn't you think that sharing music in one's home would be more socially acceptable than the act of walking around in public, isolated from others by piped-in sound?
Is it that collecting thousands of LPs and CDs smells a bit of hoarding? Or that monolithic speakers speak to overcompensation of personal shortcomings? Or that We don't get no respect! Or that those who indulge in either are occasionally, shall we say, deficient in areas pertaining to personal style, fitness, and hygiene?
I don't know, and I don't get itbut there is no abuse greater than that cast upon audiophiles. Take a look at the comments following recent articles about audio enthusiasts on the New York Times and Wall Street Journal websites. You'd think that the subjects had held Girl Scouts captive in their cellars, rather than inviting people into their homes for a pleasant evening listening to music.
I like listening to music. I even like the equipment I use to do that. "Is that so wrong??"
We've been here before, Georgie, again and again.
Look outside your head... Whether from RadioShed or high-end boutiques, how do people shop and use audio products?
The Audio Critic , when the owner was younger measured anything and everything.
Click on "Audio Measurement" at the bottom of the following article and read the entire page Plenty of links to check out.
I'm sure though you will find something "wrong" with every website that actually does something other than smear cream on a tone arm.
So you think Hydrogenaudio has their science all wrong? Go there and set them straight or better yet give us all here examples how they are doing it wrong. You seem to be the "science" expert here or all you all bluff? It's easy to say they are doing it "wrong" and leave it at that. Will be waiting.
In Peter Aczel's last article on "The Audio Critic" site, where he reviews the Benchmark DAC2 HGC, he writes...
"my 87-year-old ears are certainly not as sensitive..."
"Despite 16 LED status indicators on the unit's front panel, you can't tell whether the DAC2 HGC is in standby mode or totally shut off..."
"I am switching from the DAC1 HDR (EVEN THOUGH IT SOUNDS THE SAME) to the DAC2 HGC!" (My emphasis)
So Peter Aczel looks at this DAC and can't figure out the lights, measures the DAC and compares the stats to an older model of the same DAC, and he can't hear the difference!! He doesn't even indicate that he even used it in his stereo system.
You call that a review?
Georgie, you have a good nose (eye? which measures better?) for bad science and wonderfully un-enlightening reviews!
Any college student who has taken a Research Methodology course can take apart the "science" in any of the sites you refer to.
[flame deleted by John Atkinson]
(We're going over this same ground, Georgie, over and over again.)
...is a statement at the beginning of the article...
"But RMAA has many limitations and potential problems. And a lot of people use it incorrectly and, often unknowingly, publish misleading RMAA results..."
...and also the very last comment on that NwAvGuy blog site!
"Sorry disturbing your extremely interesting discussion. But I do not even get RMAA 6.x running on none of my PCs or Noteboosks (XP/Win7) after installation. It immediately crashes due to application errors..."
Please, please, Georgie, no more!
It's worse than the Comfy Chair (even with the cup of coffee at eleven)!
You're expecting these kinds of articles will bring more "respect" to what we all do with our music systems??
You're torturing us with this "science"...Call Amnesty International, Ack!
Don't you think the title of Bill Leebens' post just below is quite appropriate?
Reading comprehension is so important [flame deleted by John Atkinson].
That wasn't even the article I wanted to talk about , just the only way to get to the page I wanted you to see.
I told you what link to click on at the bottom of the article to take you to the page I wanted you to see. I tried directly linking but since it was part of a search link it would not apper correctly here on Stereophile's "wonderful" forum.
So what about the article you quoted? He is trying to show you how people can take any piece of software and use it incorrectly and then shows you HOW to use it as it should be. [flame deleted by John Atkinson]
[flame deleted by John Atkinson] you have failed again to show anyone at all what is wrong with the science of the websites. I think it's because they make you uncomfortable with your own preconceived notions of "how things work". if you can't show us why the science is bad then why keep bringing it up? Maybe if you chant "Sighted bias is just a myth" long enough, all the icky real science will just go away.
You are not worth my time anymore. Nor is this website.
"Any college student who has taken a Research Methodology course can take apart the "science" in any of the sites you refer to.
[flame deleted by John Atkinson]"
Yeah but you sure can't "take apart the science" so you just make silly quotes like above. I figured you would back off and take the safe route instead of manning up and showing us all how smart you are. [flame deleted by John Atkinson]
I did go to college, had a 4.0 average and have worked in the audio business for over 30 years. I used to repair audio components and have seen the insides of more amps than you ever will. I know the real world of audio and what works and what is bull shit. Now if you can't show us what is wrong with the science of the websites you like to slag off then please don't bother saying that anymore. [flame deleted by John Atkinson]
[flame deleted by John Atkinson] He did say he couldn't hear a differnce and that's exactly how Sterophile does "testing", just listening. Now you are saying that isn't good enough? Make up your mind.If you wish to ignore the rest of the website then that is your loss. Plenty more info in there [flame deleted by John Atkinson]. I did say when he was younger. [flame deleted by John Atkinson].
I respect him more than any other person in the review business. He's not successful in making money from it but then again he doesn't kiss any ass either doing it. He tells you what he thinks and doesn't pull any punches. None of that "Well maybe you should try it for yourself and see" mamby pamby bull shit.
So, Peter Aczel buys a $1995 DAC that has lights that confused and annoyed him and didn't make any difference to the sound of his system.... Why?
...out there, Georgie. It's not that scary.
Your karma is still bad...
Why does that matter?
Because if you were a subscriber, I would give your continued demands that we make changes to Stereophile's policies and methodology greater weight. As you are not, I don't.
posting as "Stereoeditor" isn't using your correct name on those forums, please start identifying yourself properly.
Every post I make to this site and to every other is clearly identified with my full name.
Anyone including myself can set up an email using whatever name I wish...
Of course, but as the banned posters used different names for their email accounts, it is more probable that that name is likely to be real. You might still argue otherwise, but it seems unilkely that your claim that "JohnnyR" is someone's real name is correct.

C'mon, how can anybody talk about "the PWB Cream" with a straight face? [flame deleted by John Atkinson]
"LOL. As PWB has never advertised in any magazine, as far as I know, this seems a ridiculous hypothesis. Perhaps I know more about this subject than you do, andy-c."
The word "potential" in "potential advertisers" was not chosen accidentally, though it doesn't surprise me to see that you've deliberately ignored that and argue against a position that's not actually being taken. [flame deleted by John Atkinson]
Regarding comments, I'd suggest that, [flame deleted by John Atkinson] you disable them. This causes potential problems of course. There is a need to have posts from a fawning audience of deluded cranks that make up your readership, so it makes sense to preserve those. At the same time, you want to give the appearance of actual meaningful discussion, so some disagreement must be allowed. But what about people who actually have your number? Tough call.
Louis: the video is amusing, and while I understand that an unquestioning mind may allow one to be more indifferent towards the world-- I think indifference is, in itself, far more alienating than being a geek.
I think the middle path is awareness coupled with acceptance--which obviously requires a level of Zen mastery far beyond my abilities!
Ladyfingers: I have found through the years that "science" is often a smug label for dogmatism. I'm well-acquainted with the curricula of physics and engineering programs, and note with a certain degree of satisfaction the struggles these fields have with uncertainty. How much of physics has been rewritten in the last 40 years without anyone ever saying, "oh, we were WRONG-- it looks like THIS is the case."
Nope: they move from one hierarchical framework to the next, totally invested in the new order.
This is a long way around of saying, yes, there are some questionable things out there in audio, some in terms of marketing, some in "science". On the other hand--there really has been very little serious investigation into the interaction of low-level EMF as it pertains to audio, or in a million other areas just ripe for inquiry. The problem is, there's no prospect for financial gain in these fields, so little is done.
And thats a damn shame.
Science is a method of testing, that's all. If a product is tested scientifically (Double Blind), any merits should be apparent. regardless of the manufacturer's technique or beliefs.
As far as I know DBT requires fully conscious selection, eliminating subliminals. Our human senses are extremely limited in conscious mode, but expand quite a bit when the subconscious is absorbing additional information. But "strictly scientific" testing can't address any of that as far as I know.
...without anyone ever saying, "oh, we were WRONG-- it looks like THIS is the case."
Bill, in the evolution of scientific inquiry, the wrongness gets less and less as the theories get more and more accurate.
I recommend this short essay, one of the best about this very issue:
Louis Motek
That's a good link, Louis. The first time I read that was when following a link from another good article called "Science Was Wrong Before".
You should differentiate between 'science' and The Scientific Method. Too often people are led into bad science by failing to distinguish these.
Bill, I think what you are disappointed with is how big business has been recently "rewriting science" to suit their bottom lines. Such as: Milk is good for you! Milk is bad for you, drink Almond Milk! Eggs are great for your health! Eggs contain cholesterol, they're bad for you! You need vitamin x, y and z! Fish contain mercury, eat chicken instead!
If you follow all of this silliness all the way down to the core, there is always a marketing team behind each and every one of those statements and none of them come from a purely scientific inquiry.
At a campfire one relaxing evening, I found myself, over beers, talking to a seasoned surgeon. I love the way these guys talk when "not in uniform". When his heart opened up he said "People eat whatever they want and the body takes from that input whatever it needs. You can't control that with any special formula, pill, or potion, it's all mostly bullshit. There is a 30% success rate effectiveness of every drug ever tested which turned out to be a placebo. It's in all the white papers."
Louis Motek
I think we are more akin to the Salem Witches and would rather we all be disposed of the old fashioned way...with fire. What we hear, or try to hear, and then try and share with others is just, plain scarry stuff. We are told we think we hear things that aren't there as the mp3 carries all the info. I hear voices, but when they start arguing I just leave the room. MP3 lovers should do the same.
I would love to have friends and relatives who are audiophiles - people whom I could visit with frequently and listen to their premium loudspeakers (I don't have that option in my small apartment) and peruse their music collection etc. But I don't know any audiophiles locally, or don't have sufficient rapport with them to be invited to share in their music enjoyment. When I did have a good system with loudspeakers (Stereophile Recommended) 30 years ago, I did know a couple of such audiophiles that I did visit occasionally, and those sessions were rewarding. I would have to speculate on what the factors are that separate me from that type of experience today, but there are many factors, not the least of which are the lack of local high end audio stores that accomodate audiophiles meeting there to listen to the gear, have a coffee, and share experiences and music. The audio shows like the one in Newport Beach don't facilitate meeting local people who can share their 'stuff' on an ongoing basis in local venues.
Hi Bill,
I have studied this conundrum at great lengths, in the interest of self-preservation. Hate to disappoint, I have the answer and you have a larger point. This does not end well, but read on.
Even the most primitive marketers have known that if a product requires social acceptance, then all energies must first be spent on creating the trend, and not the product. Blue Cheese gives us the perfect example....
A person finds a putrid, moldy piece of cheese in a cave; every instinct tell him its a bad deal, but he is starving so he decides to eat it anyway. Then figures out a way to convince others- most important! More so than making the cheese appealing. Lets be candid, its nose is indistinguishable from toe-cheese. Till today, centuries later, there is no one who tries blue cheese for the first time is won over- also true of cigarettes. Clearly it is not sold on first impressions. Its taken a massive 'village effort' to build a culture around the most unappealing of commodities. Its even got the full backing of the French law.
Now imagine if Blue Cheese was promoted only through shows that resembled a Star Trek convention; as our shows do; where one was being asked to develop a palate solely on first impressions, at these conventions no less. Therein lies the problem in our trade, we have done less to build a culture than blue cheese. We dont even have a single consortium in the high-end industry, where we promote as a group. (it was briefly attempted and failed due to lacking of wider support) contrast that with the fact that Roquefort cannot be produced without royalties to the Roquefort Société. A Swiss movement watch is sold only after millions have been spent convincing the world that a Swiss Movement is essential.
We have that very problem, good gear is not necessary to enjoy music, we want the market to believe otherwise, but have done little if anything to drive the culture our way. We have driven culture away from it by being insular and clannish. Here is a simple test; in any doctor's waiting room, one will find a magazine promoting the culture of a Swiss movement watch or that handbag you described. Where other than the halls of audio shows will you find free copies of an audio magazine.
The Swiss say it best; its not the grass, its not the milk, but the bars of chocolate in the airport. Without which noting else matters.
Louis: you have more confidence in a self-improving, self-correcting model of science than I have. I know far too many researchers whose work has come to a dead halt because it is politically unpopular, and their funding has vaporized. America right now is frighteningly anti-intellectual. Thanks for the link, though.
And as the son of a surgeon, I recognize the pragmatic attitude. Indeed, people will do what they will do, and their genes and their luck will determine the outcome. Not fatalistic--just realistic.
Jim: what can I tell you? This ain't no party; this ain't no disco. We have to deal with reality.
Dale: so... are we proposing Audiophile Match.com ? Now THERE'S a scary thought.
"Hi, I'm Bob-- I live with mom, I ride the bus but I have $20k in My System...oh yeah, and I'm obsessed with Diana Krall..."
Sorry. That was harsh.
I think one of the consequences of the disappearance of local dealerships is that the social networking has become neglected. While there is a lot of online activity--well, it's not the same, and there's that pesky issue of monikers and concealed identities.
Clearly: audio-evangelism is tough to do if we can't even find or hang with Our Own Kind. An excellent point, and I'll have to mull over WTF to do about it. There are some very strong audio societies that do a good job of introducing newbies, but it's a big wide country with a lot of territory left uncovered.
Hi Sunny/Scaena-- We've discussed this many times through the years; the audio industry has done a pretty poor job of making its case to the public. As a result, we find ourselves as a low priority in most households--in the US, anyway.
Historically, attempts to form an audio industry association have either gotten nowhere or have died soon after their inception. There are two primary problems with organization, both related to the industry largely being composed of small companies, which are led by, umm, independent individuals:
1. No consensus. Anyone who's ever tried to get a group together for lunch or dinner at an audio show knows how tough that is...well, imagine trying to determine the course of an industry with those same folks. Herding cats is simple, by comparison.
2. No money. Let's face it: consumer electronics in the US may be a $230 B/year industry, as the Consumer Electronics Association says, but the audio biz is about 1/2 of 1% of it. Small companies are concerned more with immediate ROI than overall industry growth.
I applaud the outreach of local audio societies and headphone/personal listening groups. They're making the effort, and given how few local dealers there are these days, we need to help out with the evangelism, as well. The questions are: how do we do that, and how do we pay for it?
"I don't know, and I don't get it—but there is no abuse greater than that cast upon audiophiles."
Hmmm, I assume you meant something along the lines of, "compared to the other groups mentioned, there is no abuse greater..." The quoted statement trivializes actual persecution suffered by people of various ethnic groups, religions and so on. Is there an editor in the house?
If it's approval and status we want, maybe we should collect something else. Collecting machines that put small holes in things at a distance seems to be more acceptable than collecting music or the machines used to reproduce it.

I just wanted to introduce myself to the Massachusetts and surrounding area Tesla owners. My name is Jason Perrydore and I own SeaJay's Detailing in Billerica, MA.
I've Opti-Coated several local area Tesla's (and many other vehicles), some of which were referred to me by the Tesla service manager who has seen my work. I've copied the links to a few pictures from my business facebook page.
If your looking to have Opti-Coat installed or if you have any questions about Opti-Coat, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thanks for your time and I won't post too often as I do not want to spam the forum.
Put ***ADVERTISEMENT*** in your title (hover over the T logo to access Edit), and no one will flag you.
Thanks Brian for that tip!
I can vouch for Jason! He did an excellent job on my Model S (the blue one is mine). Plus, the opti-coat has a great product and made a real difference in the look of the car and durability of the paint.
"I'll make your car smooth and shiny," said Jason slickly.
Thanks for the kind words Eric! Much appreciated.
FWIW I used Seajays and Jason was first class. I'd highly recommend him.
Some notes on washing the car after the treatment are here:
(LMB spouse)
Jason Did LMB's Model S almost a year after delivery. It looks great and the dirt practically falls off the paint and wheels now. If I ever get one of my own it will certainly go to Sea-Jay's.

The following exchange is an edited version of a lengthy discussion that has been taking place on our website. Please go to InTheseTimes.com to join in.
Debating Hugo Chavez
Steve Ellner's analysis ("Chavez Wins Again," January) of what is going on in Venezuela casually dismisses all criticism of Chavez's authoritarianism as opposition propaganda.
But many on the Venezuelan left have also issued strong criticisms of Chavez's governing style, constant power plays, and transparently anti-democratic maneuvering.
It should be possible to support the general thrust of Chavez's economic policies, acknowledge that he hasn't totally undermined Venezuela's fragile democracy, while also being able to see that Chavez is a demagogue who has strong authoritarian tendencies.
Ken Brociner
Any reasonable person who follows world events may fairly recognize Chavez as a demagogue. This doesn't mean that he's a dictator, but he's been reaching for a level of personal power that's unhealthy for any society that values democracy.
A better article would have told us more about the nature of the opposition to Chavez, including its diversity.
Ralph Seliger
New York
I took Steve Ellner's account to be a necessary corrective to the mainstream news accounts that have portrayed the recent elections almost exclusively as a defeat, when in fact the results are mixed. It's fair to criticize the macho character of Chavez's leadership, or to debate the wisdom of changing the constitution, but Venezuela is a more democratic place today because of, in part, Chavez's leadership.
And it would be more democratic if Chavez adhered more to the "participatory" and "protagonistic" spirit of the Bolivarian constitution.
Daniel Hellinger
St. Louis, Mo.
Anybody who writes, as Ellner does, that "many Venezuelans ... chafe at some of the concrete results of his (Chavez's) rule" cannot be much of an apologist. The same goes for his statement that die government's failure to face the problem of shortages "does not speak well for the efficiency and administrative capacity of the Chavistas. …

Dreaming the Future: Reimagining Civilization in the Age of Natureby Kenny Ausubel
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Few would deny that we are entering a period of great change. Our environment is collapsing. Social disruption abounds. All around, it seems, we are experiencing breakdown. But out of this chaos comes the opportunity for breakthrough-the opportunity to reimagine our future.In Dreaming the Future, Kenny Ausubel leads us into that possible new world and introduces us to the thinkers and doers who are-sometimes quietly, sometimes not-leading what he calls "a revolution from the heart of nature and the human heart."In a collection of short, witty, poignant, even humorous essays, Ausubel tracks the big ideas, emerging trends, and game-changing developments of our time. He guides us through our watershed moment, showing how it's possible to emerge from a world where corporations are citizens, the gap between rich and poor is cavernous, and biodiversity and the climate are under assault and create a world where we take our cues from nature and focus on justice, equity, diversity, democracy, and peace.Even those steeped in the realities of a world gone wrong and efforts to right it will find refreshing, even surprising, perspectives in Dreaming the Future. It will come as no surprise to readers that Ausubel is cofounder of Bioneers-which foreword author David W. Orr describes as "one part global salon...one part catalytic organization."
"Ausubel is a founder and executive officer of Bioneers, a nonprofit organization which 'highlights breakthrough solutions for restoring people and planet.' The essays in this collection reflect his thoughts and proposals on a wide variety of topics related to this general goal, ranging from the Gaia theory of Earth as a self-regulating system, to the ecological effects of medical technology, the similarity of modern politics and organized crime, and the difficulty of organizing grassroots resistance against corporate exploitation. Many of these pieces have been published previously over the last decade on websites like The Huffington Post and Alternet.org. They are, however, still highly relevant, and the book is a convenient, readable, and informative corpus of Ausubel's work. His breezy, fast-paced writing style and his in-depth knowledge of environmental and political issues will inspire readers who share his values and his belief in the importance of shaping human behavior for the sake of environmental sustainability. A list of bibliographic sources for each essay provides guidance for readers who wish to do further research, but there are no footnotes for specific factual statements, which may limit the book's ability to persuade skeptical readers.

I use this once or twice per week in a mask with honey and/or yogurt. I leave for 20-30 then rinse. This takes redness out and gives my skin a lovely clarity. I also made a powdered face wash and included turmeric. I added Vicco turmeric cream to my skin care regime... Can't get enough turmeric! LOL. It's one on my new HG items! I have a separate washcloth and towel so I don't stain my good linens!

I get raw turmeric and make a paste of it by rubbing it with water on a flat stone (the old-fashioned way herb pastes are made in India). I also add red sandalwood to the rubbing mix. Turmeric gives a healthy, beautiful glow to the skin.
Turmeric, especially in the raw form is amazing. I had split my chin in an accident and a tablespoon of turmeric was applied by Mum, on the gaping wound. According to the doctor, this shortened the healing period significantly. Of course, 10 stitches were still required but there was no infection in the wound.
Raw turmeric root can also be pickled and eaten.
Beware of ready-made turmeric powder especially from unreliable sources, as they can contain contaminants which will only worsen the skin problems or 'burn' the skin!
Products provided by nature such as turmeric, neem etc should not be attempted to be 'patented' and if at all that is to be done, the native country growing these plants should be the one getting the 'product' patented.

After reading about the anti inflamatory benefits of turmeric and with some hesitancy (as I have sensitive skin that does not respond well to several natural products that many people on this board review as being wonderful, olive oil being one of them) I mixed some turmeric with greek yoghurt (that I know my skin likes) but with no honey, as surprisingly my skin does not like honey (!) and I left it on for 15 mins.
The mask left my skin feeling very soft and exfoliated with no pinkness whatsover, the next day my normal tendency to get slightly pink on my chin and nose did seem diminished. I had no flakiness over the next few days at all, a big thing for me as extreme dryness and flaking is something that happens all the time when I veer away from my usual tried and trusted skincare and try new products or treatments.
Nothing dramtic happened, I am not now flawless and perfect (but I am sure that treatment IS out there, and I shall be painting it ALL over my body when I find it) other than my skin felt very nice and it did not irritate (huge for me) rather it did seem to soothe to some degree. Based on how soft and calmed my skin seemed I tried the mask again a week later with the same results. As for lightening of hyper pigmentation, well, that surely takes time with any product and remains to be seen as there is no lightening on my one hyperpigmented spot (that showed up this year out of nowhere).
From what I have read on this board and elsewhere turmeric has been used in India for centuries, and I do have a thought. . .I was cotton balling off a very slight residue of yellow (not visible to the eye) even after washing my face, showering and washing my face again . . . if I had lovely golden Indian skin (instead of being pale) I wonder if that slight yellow cast, even barely visible, might actually look nice and sort of even things out, in a purely cosmetic way?

Indian women have used turmeric to brighten their complexions for many years. As a kid, I thought it was gross and total BS, but as an adult, I've realized that it really does work. The way my mom does it is to mix some turmeric in powder form with enough coconut or olive oil to make a paste. Then massage the paste into your face and allow to sit. I usually leave it for about 20 minutes, and rinse it off in the shower. I haven't noticed any stains in my tub, but my skin is brighter and it's helped to fade some dark spots on my face. You could probably mix this with honey or yogurt, too, but my oily skin loves olive oil.

I have been reading reviews here forever! This is the first time I am writing about some product. For all those ladies who already know how wonderful turmeric is for skin I have some suggestions to make the process of applying this tedious mask.
1) Wear some gloves to save your fingers and nails from staining. Its that simple!
2) use a sponge to apply, the kind that you use for foundations.
3) It is always better to have some oil like jojoba, coconut, olive oil as an ingredient in turmeric mask as this helps stain less and when you use a cleanser the stains come out with the oil. Be careful if you have very sensitive skin or are allergic to oils. Trust me when you take off the mask with water just pat dry using a paper tissue. I bet there will be no stains on your face and hands. THIS IS THE BIGGEST TRICK FOR USING A TURMERIC MASK. Do this and tell me how it worked for you guys!
4) I always wash my face in the kitchen sink, as its easy to just spray some bleach on it once in a week.
I hope this will make applying a turmeric mask easy for you.
And trust me it works!!!
My exact recipe: 3 heaped spoons of gram flour, 1 spoon of turmeric, 2 spoons of coconut oil, 2 spoons yogurt. Mix well and refrigerate for future uses.

With honey, this is the best spot corrector for inflamed acne. Mix little honey and turmeric till it forms into a paste. Use as a spot corrector (I use cotton buds) after washing your face with mild soap and leave it for 1 hour. My acne dried after using this for 2 days (in the evening only). A little goes a long way, you may refrigerate unused portion.
For just 1 week, I have seen drastic improvements on my face; no new acne forming, existing acne all dried up and the black marks left by my old acne which were burned by spot correctors are also showing some improvements.
To avoid drying up my face, instead of using soap to remove the yellow stains, I massage my face with ground oatmeal paste (ground oatmeal mixed with a little warm water).
Edit: 3/31/2012
I have found another good use for this. I infuse olive oil and castor oil with turmeric by mixing 2 tbsp of olive oil, 1 tbsp castor oil and 1 tsp of turmeric powder. This serves as my cleansing oil before using my facial wash.
Use small amount to massage unto face, tissue out and wash with lukewarm water and facial wash.
I no longer use toner and moisturizer cause I've been breaking out with any such commercial products.
I'm tempted to prick because several small pimples which used to be underneath my skin surface and blackheads are slowly coming out. Till now, no new big inflamed acne is forming.
My daily routine:
Massage with turmeric infused cleansing oil, wash with gentle facial wash and lukewarm water to remove oil and lightly massage with ground oatmeal paste to soothe and moisturize. Alternately (after every two days) with:
Regular face wash, turmeric honey mask (sometimes with ground oatmeal paste) and oatmeal paste to remove yellow stains.
Wash with regular facial wash and massage with oatmeal paste to soothe and moisture.
Two weeks on this routine has really improve my face's condition.My super oily face requires blotting 4 to 5 times in a 10-hour period while working (in a fully air conditioned room). But now, I just blot once during lunchtime.
Edit April 18, 2012.
I've stopped the turmeric-oil mixture. While it deeply cleans and minimize my pores, it caused some breakouts. I continue the turmeric, oatmeal, honey routine and for more than a month, not perfect skin but a lot BETTER.... from very oily to less oily skin, clogged to clean pores, less break out and new breakout are cured in less than a week with very minimal scarring. I still have to deal with old acne scars which shows minimal improvements but definitely healthier and smoother skin.

Holy cow, this product STAINS like no other.
Not only does it make my skin look yellow after I take it off, it stains everything else. My rug, the sink, the floor etc.
I wasn't being messy either. The tumeric turns back into powder form after it's been on your face for a while, and it falls off the carpet and stains it.
I only used this mask once, and didn't bother to use it again, so I don't know about the skin miracle that everyone is raving about.

I don't understand the hype over this. I've only tried it twice, but that was enough for me. Both times, my light scars actually seemed to darken and my skin broke out everywhere and just looked red and irritated. It seems to have the exact opposite effect that everyone else is describing. Perhaps I'm allergic to it. Whatever the case, turmeric is definitely not for me!

I use turmeric powder, mix in egg white, honey and milk to make it pasty and apply it to my face as a mask. I leave it on for at least 20 minutes or until it's like completely dried on my face. I absolutely love it!!!!! It is really good for if you have uneven skin tone because you will deff notice a huge difference and it will be more even and it def gives a nice glow. I looooove it!

Pierre-Joseph Proudhon (1809-1865), the first person to proclaim himself an anarchist, is rarely treated with respect. Thanks to various hatchet-jobs (Marx, Schapiro, Draper), if he is mentioned it is often with contempt but usually with incomprehension. The notion that he was contradictory is so well engrained in the secondary literature (itself usually based on repeating previous secondary sources) that what Proudhon actually argued is lost. It is so bad that many people think he advocated ideas he publically refuted holding.
The WSM had its Autumn national conference in Dublin on the 23rd November. National Conference is the ultimate decision making body in the WSM. It happens every six months usually over a day or two. As well as discussing motions time is also spent on discussing the past six months activity and prospects for the next period. Conference also hears reports of activity from all branches, officers and working groups. This covered areas like the Irish Anarchist Review, WSM Website, Dublin Anarchist Bookfair and our pro-choice and anti racist work.
The nostalgic left is a bit of shorthand I've started using for those on the left who have reacted to the disintegration of the old left by wishing for idealised simpler times. And perhaps more strangely blaming the collapse on what they see as threatening new developments, like intersectionality. They hold such newfangled nonsense responsible for the current failure of the left to get an echo from the general population.
Over the last couple of years the WSM has been going through a process of re-examining the way we relate to people interested in what we have to say. Alongside this we have recently begun to try and get a better understanding of what it is we do. Both these processes have some major implications in reaching an understanding of what the usefulness of a revolutionary organisation is in the modern era of broad and loose social networks.
Mainstream media were very excited earlier this week with Forbe's proclaiming the republics "extremely pro-business environment" with of course no critical commentary over what that reality means for the mass of the population who rely on paid labour or social welfare to get by. What lies behind phrases like " low tax burden, investor protection"? Why has there been more investment by UC companies since 2008 ( $129.5 billion ) then in the previous 58 years? Should we really be cheering being No1 for attracting corporations?
Victor Serge (1890-1947) is experiencing something of a revival. This is understandable, given the power of Serge's prose and the events and people he wrote about.
"every individual is a child of his time" (Hegel)
The British anarchist Albert Meltzer once noted that since Marxists find it hard to critique anarchism, they usually attack anarchists. In the case of the earliest anarchist thinkers, Proudhon and Bakunin, this is often easy to do as they were not consistently libertarian in their views.
Despite spending in the region of a million euro and getting the backing of the catholic church its now clear that the anti-choice extremists of Youth Defence & the Pro Life Campaign were resoundingly defeated when the Dail finally voted though legislation implementing the X-Case judgment of 21 years ago. This time last year they were confident that they already had enough Fine Gael TD's on board to block the required legislation but they reckoned against the wave of public anger that followed the death of Savita Halappanavar after she was denied a potentially life saving abortion in a Galway hospital.
Tear gas is a very good place to start trying to understand what is happening in Turkey. The main purpose of tear gas is to terrorise and thus break up large crowds of people. In Istanbul over the last weeks huge quantities have been used over and over to prevent large anti-government demonstrations developing. This wasn't about 'riot control' - generally there was no riot to control. In this piece I'm going to put the Gezi park revolt in the context of the cycle of struggles that began in 2010 and of the specific economic, politcal and historical situation of the Turkish republic to try and draw out the lessons for all of us fighting global capitalism.
This is a write-up of a talk I gave at Housemans bookshop for An Anarchist FAQ volume 2 publication event. It is based on my notes and is what I intended to cover. So it may not be exactly what was said on the night. And as one member of the audience rightly noted, it is very much focused around white, male Europeans. This is simply because there is still much work needed to get the ideas and histories of non-European countries into English (sadly, this also applies to much of European anarchism as well!). Still, we need to correctly understand anarchist history in order to develop it to meet the challenges of today. Hopefully this talk contributes to both processes, correctly understanding the history of anarchism and building anarchism today as a theory and movement. Whether I succeeded or not rests with the reader!

A herd of young birdlike dinosaurs met their death on the muddy margins of a lake some 90 million years ago, according to a team of Chinese and American paleontologists that excavated the site in the Gobi Desert in western Inner Mongolia.
The Sudden sudden death of the herd in a mud trap provides a rare snapshot of social behavior. Composed entirely of juveniles of a single species of ornithomimid dinosaur (Sinornithomimus dongi), the herd suggests that immature individuals were left to fend for themselves when adults were preoccupied with nesting or brooding.
"There were no adults or hatchlings," said Paul Sereno, professor at the University of Chicago and National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence. "These youngsters were roaming around on their own," remarked Tan Lin, from the Department of Land and Resources of Inner Mongolia.
Within an exquisite pair of the skeletons, prepared for display in Sereno's lab and airlifted back to China in late February, preserve stomach stones and the animal's' last meals are preserved.
Sereno, Tan and Zhao Xijin, professor in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, led the 2001 expedition that found the fossils. Team members also included David Varricchio of Montana State University (MSU), Jeffrey Wilson of the University of Michigan and Gabrielle Lyon of Project Exploration. The findings are published in the December 2008 issue of Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, and the work was funded by the National Geographic Society and the David and Lucile Packard Foundation.
"Finding a mired herd is exceedingly rare among living animals," said Varricchio, an assistant professor of paleontology at MSU. "The best examples are from hoofed mammals," such as water buffalo in Australia or feral horses in the American West, he said.
The first bones from the dinosaur herd were spotted by a Chinese geologist in 1978 at the base of a small hill in a desolate, windswept region of the G

Big Country ATV Fairing is rated out of 5 by 2.Rated 2 out of 5 by CHARLES A from When I opened the package, I found that the adhesive used to attach the rubber trim to the fairing had leaked out and was on the poly carbonate in many places. I called the manufacturer twice (they only work 4 days per week) and was told to use isopropel alcohol to remove the adhesive. This put abrasions on the fairing and now have to buy another product to remove those abrasions.Date published: 2014-09-29Rated 5 out of 5 by DWIGHT A from GREAT FIT , EASY TO INSTALL.

Savage Earth Out of the Inferno. Most of the damage in stratovolcano eruptions comes not from lava flow but from a phenomenon known as pyroclastic flow.
A pyroclastic flow is an avalanche of ground-hugging hot rock accompanied by a cloud of ash and gas that races down the slope of a volcano. The flow can reach speeds of up to 60 miles per hour, and temperatures of nearly 1,300 degrees Fahrenheit. Pyroclastic flows cause more death and destruction than any other volcanic hazard. Introduction. Today, there are many active volcanoes worldwide.
Is there anything we can do to predict how and when they will erupt? As the world's population grows, more and more people are living in potentially dangerous volcanic areas. Volcanic eruptions continue--as they have throughout most of geologic time--posing ever-greater threats to life and property. Mt. Rainier looms over the Seattle/Tacoma area, endangering a population of more than three million people.

During this conference call representatives of the company will make certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act. These statements are based upon management's current views and expectations with respect to future events and are not a guarantee of future performance.

I will now turn the call over to our CEO, Guangfu Cui.
Guangfu Cui
Thank you, Philip. Hello everyone, thank you for being on this call.
We are proud to report another quarter of strong top line growth with net revenues growing 42% year over year to RMB138 million, and income from operations growing 104% year over year to RMB12 million. Among the factors which contributed to our performance in the third quarter were: our efforts to drive online growth; strong summer travel demand in China, and the Shanghai World Expo.
We increased hotel coverage over 54% to approximately 14,300 hotels in the third quarter from approximately 9,300 during the same period a year ago, and in October we expanded our coverage to more than 15,000 hotels. In addition, eLong.com offers customers more than 130,000 hotels worldwide through our interface with Expedia. eLong.com continues to be the largest online distributor in China in terms of hotels offered which can be directly booked. We will continue to expand hotel coverage where we see demand from our customers. This effort is in line with our vision, which is to become the largest online travel marketplace in China.
We have run our "eCoupon" promotion for 12 months. eCoupon offers discounts of up to 100 Renminbi off hotel bookings made online. The eCoupon has reinforced eLong's brand position of "real savings and a worry-free booking experience", and rewarded customers for transacting online. In the third quarter, we increased online marketing spending to capture the summer travel demand. We are happy to see the continuing growth of our online hotel bookings in the past few quarters, and online transactions now comprise over 40% of our total hotel transactions. We will keep driving our business online going forward as we believe this represents the best opportunity for our long term growth, and we will also work to improve efficiency of our coupon and online marketing spending.
We have been improving our customer experience both online and offline. In the third quarter, we continued to upgrade our website, which provided customers with faster page loading time and better website availability. Our call center continued its high quality service with a 99% customer satisfaction rate and a 92% very satisfied rate.
In the third quarter, we took steps to increase the efficiency of our air business. We phased out air ticket cash transactions in most cities, and by November 1, we had completely eliminated cash transaction business. This move may negatively impact revenue from the air ticketing business for a few quarters; however, we believe this will improve our competitiveness in our air ticketing operations in the long run as we focus on providing outstanding service to the growing number of credit card and other non-cash transaction customers. Going forward, the key challenge for our air business is to address the ticket price competitiveness vs. airlines websites, and vs. wholesalers selling online.
Our priorities remain the same as shared with you at the beginning of the year.
to upgrade our product and service offerings such as dynamic packages, hotels, and air tickets;
to further improve online booking and after sales experience;
to continue our efforts to launch effective online marketing programs; and
to work with hotel and air suppliers to procure competitively priced products for our customers.
Successful execution of our priorities and plans remains critical, and we are confident to the long-term growth of our business.

Although it has been almost 10 years since the Windows 2003 and the IIS 6 web-server came out, there are still a big number of websites, especially executing ASP.net that are still present and running on the web. However, since the IIS 7 webserver came out, most of the documentation about IIS has been focusing on this version of the web server, and the search engines are very good at indexing new content, and forgetting older articles.
This is why I wanted to have a quick blog post about how one would activate dynamic compression on the IIS 6 webserver, since this is not something obvious from the start. It is important to understand that ASP.net and IIS had a much looser integration back in 2003, and the server was not as geared towards running the ASP.net stack as it is today.
So what is compression: compression is the fact that we can shrink HTTP responses that are sent from the server to the client to save bandwidth. This is done (or rather was) by two different algorithms, called gzip and deflate – deflate was dropped in IIS 7 and onwards. Dynamic compression is the web-server's ability to compress the responses created by a web-application such as an ASP.net web-app on the fly, before they are sent to the requesting browser.
On a side note, compression is always a delicate balancing act, since to compress the responses, CPU resources are used, so you might waste more time doing compression than sending a big response uncompressed.
To activate Dynamic Compression for the IIS 6 server for an ASP.net application you have to follow the following steps:
Checking the Compress application files checkbox will enable dynamic compression on the server level.
Alternately, you can accomplish this via command line. Open a command line prompt, and navigate to the C:\inetpub\adminscripts folder then type the following command:
cscript adsutil.vbs set w3svc/filters/compression/parameters/HcDoDynamicCompression true
To check if compression is activated or not, you can use the following command:
cscript adsutil.vbs get w3svc/filters/compression/parameters/HcDoDynamicCompression
cscript adsutil.vbs set W3SVC/Filters/Compression/deflate/HcScriptFileExtensions "asp" "exe" "dll" "aspx" "asmx" "ashx" "axd"
cscript adsutil.vbs set W3SVC/Filters/Compression/gzip/HcScriptFileExtensions "asp" "exe" "dll" "aspx" "asmx" "ashx" "axd"
Please note that each time you wish to add extensions to the current configuration, you have to list all the extensions that will be used by IIS, including those that were present in the configuration already. Think of it as re-writing the value of a variable each time you execute the command as opposed to appending to the value – which is exactly how this is done in the IIS metabase.
cscript adsutil.vbs Set W3SVC/Filters/Compression/deflate/HcDynamicCompressionLevel 9
cscript adsutil.vbs Set W3SVC/Filters/Compression/gzip/HcDynamicCompressionLevel 9
and the following two commands to check the values of the compression levels used:
cscript adsutil.vbs get W3SVC/Filters/Compression/deflate/HcDynamicCompressionLevel
cscript adsutil.vbs get W3SVC/Filters/Compression/gzip/HcDynamicCompressionLevel
On a side note, the article explains how to setup Dynamic Compression for the IIS 6 server at the server level. But you can also setup compression on the site level. In order to do this at the site level, you can execute the following command:
cscript.exe adsutil.vbs SET W3SVC/1/DoDynamicCompression TRUE
In the above command, the site ID is used to setup Dynamic Compression at the website level. Hence a Site ID of 1 is usually the Default Web Site.
You can also setup dynamic compression at virtual directory level, by using the following command:
cscript.exe adsutil.vbs SET W3SVC/1/root/MyDirectory/DoDynamicCompression TRUE
In the above command, the name of the virtual directory for which Dynamic Compression will be enabled is MyDirectory, and it is underneath the website with the Site ID 1 – which is normally the Default Web Site.

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 2
Re: Migraine, why
Posted By: jeanb
In Response To: Re: Migraine, why (Patti)
Dear Patti:
I probably will sound like an Ed Reich wanna be but I think you may be experiencing detox symptoms. There are at least 50 posts on detox and one major information string on migraines. Try and check them out.
Try not to take ibuprofen or Tylenol while in detox. I understand the detox will take longer as the liver tries to clean out the medication and the migraines might get worse before they get better. Try your exercises and see if that relieves the pain. Drink as much clean water as possible.

Something not made clear in the article (maybe it implies it by its reference to others jumping on the bandwagon for misplaced credit) is that the main "deciders" on this decision weren't just a few people at the FCC, and President Obama. Leading up to this decision, millions of Americans (and probably a fair number of people outside the US) contacted the FCC and told them they wanted net neutrality/Title II applied to the Internet. Prior to this deluge of input, the FCC commissioners were inclined to make the opposite decision. So if anyone didn't get the point, this wasn't some elitist, in-the-dark diktat.

When I read the headline of this article, I thought "They're talking about taking pictures of you, using your own cellphone, whenever you use it to make a video call, or even by remotely activating it."
Though the article doesn't mention these possibilities, they're still possible, or likely. It's already been revealed lately, that the "intelligence" communities record ALL electronic communications of every sort. They're able to get amazing compliance for their surveillance goals, from governments, communications companies, etc.--and, no doubt, from manufacturers too. It's the old "In Russia, TV watches YOU!" bit.
As for retina scanning from a high-flying surveillance drone, don't count on it--too high up--it will be done from the ground. Though if an individual wants to foil a retina scanner, it's likely that a contact lens could be developed (if it doesn't already exist) that prevents it, while still allowing the user to see through the lens quite well. Though if they detect anyone wearing these contacts, that would probably automatically trigger action for more direct observation.
