AMD bestowed its ATI Radeon HD 4850 X2 graphics chips exclusively onboard partner Sapphire to bring to retail. It started at $399 when it launched back in November, but prices have come down as low as $299 for the 2GB version reviewed here. At that price especially, we find the Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 X2 the best midrange 3D hardware currently available. In addition to demonstrating very fast performance, the Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 X2 is also unique in supporting up to four displays on one PC. We recommend this card to any gamer interested in a reasonably priced investment in greater 3D power. We would also suggest it to anyone looking for a straightforward means to quadruple your screen real estate.
As with the Radeon HD 4870 X2, the 4850 X2 is a dual-chip 3D card. Powered by two Radeon HD 4850 GPUs, the X2 version is effectively a self-contained Crossfire setup. You need to connect this card directly to your PC power supply via one six-pin and one eight-pin PCI Express power input. And as a double-wide card, it also takes up a fair amount of space inside your PC. That said, no other card in this price range offers the same performance or overall capability.
Nvidia has two graphics cards that compete with the Radeon HD 4850 X2. On the lower end, the updated 216 core GeForce GTX 260 comes in around $260 in an overclocked model from EVGA. You can also find the Geforce GTX 280 for about $315. Price fluctuations and rebates make it hard to pin down the exact price of any 3D card, and while the GTX 260 has consistently been the most affordable of the three tested here, the Radeon HD 4850 X2 has fluctuated from $399 at launch, to anywhere from $299 to $340 or so today, with changes occurring daily on NewEgg.com. Amazon's price has held steady at $299, this week at least, and hopefully that will remain consistent. Regardless, we expect the HD 4850 X2 and the GTX 280 will continue to compete on price for the foreseeable future.
Thanks to the Radeon HD 4850 X2's strong performance, this part of the discussion is easy. It's faster on every game we tested, and at every resolution. The Crysis scores aren't that far apart, and all three cards struggle with our admittedly aggressive image quality settings, even at 1,440×900. Dial down the antialiasing or overall image quality and you should expect an improvement by 10 frames or so across the board.
If Crysis is perhaps too demanding, Far Cry 2 is more or less the sweet spot for 3D testing right now, as it's a bit more forgiving than Crysis, but still looks great by current standards. None of these cards had trouble with our Far Cry 2 test, but the Radeon HD 4850 X2 was the fastest overall, and the only one to break the 60 frames per second barrier at 1,920×1,200, the native resolution of most current 24-inch wide-screen LCDs. If you own a 30-inch display, you may want more headroom, but for 24 inches or fewer the Radeon HD 4850 X2 has you covered for most current titles, and with a little bit of headroom to spare for games down the road.
The only caveat we'll add to the performance discussion is that because this is a dual-chip card, it relies on the scalability of 3D games to put both chips to good use. If a game or the card's driver software falters, you may see limited performance. Two recent cases in point: Far Cry 2 had an issue with cards using ATI's CrossFire multichip technology (since resolved), and as of this writing, the PC version of Grand Theft Auto IV won't recognize Nvidia chips in SLI mode. Single-chip cards, like the two from Nvidia in this price range, don't have that issue. We think the speed benefits of the Radeon HD 4850 X2 are worth the risks, but it's also worth noting that the possibility of a scaling issue is indeed real, particularly in the early days of a game's release.
As has been the trend in other recent 3D card reviews, ATI has fallen behind Nvidia on power efficiency. It might not surprise you that a faster, dual-chip card needs more juice than comparably priced single-chip cards, but it's still worth spelling out the difference. Interestingly, the Radeon card is comparatively more efficient at load than it is at idle, but in either case, the extra performance has a real-world cost in terms of power consumption.
If this card doesn't quite deliver on power efficiency, it can actually have a direct impact on your productivity, at least if you use screen real estate as your scale. AMD has been unique in equipping certain dual-chip cards with four DVI outputs, and it's one of the features we love about the Radeon HD 4850 X2. We successfully connected four LCDs from different vendors and of different screen sizes. The card identified all of them successfully, and let us operate in either clone mode, with the same image mapped on all four screens, or in extended mode, which extends one desktop screen across every display.
Perhaps counterintuitively, you need to turn off Crossfire mode to output to four monitors. ATI's driver software makes that easy, though, as it also gives you relatively robust controls for arranging the displays in whatever order you want, and also adjusting each display's settings. Adding four displays doesn't necessarily mean you can all of a sudden play a game at 7,680×1,200, as most games will only scale to preset resolutions, and/or require specific code to support multiple monitors. You can, however, put a game on one screen and a Web-based map and a walkthrough on the others. And of course the idea of showing a spreadsheet, e-mail, and multiple Web pages at the same time will make many office functionaries drool. With each port dual-link DVI enabled, in theory you should be able to connect four 30-inch LCDs to one Radeon HD 4850 X2. We weren't able to test four 30-inchers, but we were pleased with the experience of connecting the 24-inch, 22-inch, and pair of 19-inch displays we had on hand.
Finally, as a member of AMD's Radeon HD 4000-series, this card has all of the DirectX 10.1, stream processing, and Havok Physics acceleration inherent to all the chips in that family. When we actually see those features have a widespread software impact, we'll be sure to write about them.

About the book
Are you confused about the debate over climate change? Unsure about whether or not we're running out of oil? Anxious about economic recession? Angry about the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and beyond? Frightened by the rise of religious and political extremisms? Concerned by the dramatic erosion of our civil liberties?
It often seems that different crises are competing to devastate civilisation. Most accounts of our contemporary global crises such as climate change, or the threat of terrorism, focus on one area, or another, to the exclusion of others. Dr. Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed, executive director of the IPRD, argues that the unwillingness of experts to look outside their own fields explains why there is so much disagreement and misunderstanding about particular crises.
This groundbreaking book is the first of its kind that answers all your questions in one place, and looks at these issues holistically. It argues that financial meltdown, dwindling oil reserves, terrorism and food shortages need to be considered as part of the same ailing political, economic, ideological and value system. Dr. Ahmed investigates all of these crises not as isolated events, but as interdependent trends and processes that belong to the structure of our civilization. We are therefore not dealing with a 'clash of civilisations', as Huntington argued. Rather, we are dealing with a fundamental Crisis of Civilisation itself.
Dr. Ahmed shows that these crises are in fact symptoms of a major civilizational transition – the imminent end of industrial civilization as-we-know-it, and the exciting prospect of a new post-carbon civilization. But what form will the new civilization take?
The choice is ours. The choice is yours.
Become an information warrior. Read this book, know the system, and be prepared for the arrival of the post-carbon era.
What this book does
Analyzes and unifies data, evidence and argumentation across Climate Sciences (such as Solar Physics, Atmospheric & Earth Sciences, Oceanography, Geography); Geology; Human Ecology; Development, Monetary and Financial Economics; Security Studies; Systems Theory; International Relations Theory; and Social Theory, into a single unified understanding of the 'Crisis of Civilization'
Exhaustively refutes climate 'sceptics', including Climategate, Amazongate, Glaciergate, 'global cooling', and so on, based on the peer-reviewed literature, illustrating the reality of catastrophic anthropogenic global warming without urgent mitigating action
Critically examines the major studies on oil, gas and coal depletion so as to chart the most likely scenarios for impending resource-supply constraints, and its implications for geopolitics and the world economy
Demonstrates the non-viability of oil shale, tar sands, and nuclear energy in terms of filling the impending resource-supply gap, as well as the necessities and challenges of renewable energy transition
Unearths the structural origins of the global food crisis in the political economy of global corporate agribusiness, and how industrial techniques are systematically degrading their own productive capacity, exacerbated due to climate change and energy depletion
Reveals the real policies and structures behind the global financial crash (like the New Capital Accord, 2000), the nature of money, the systematization of debt, the inherent instabilities and inequalities of neoliberal capitalism, their link to carbon-based resource scarcities, and why it's not going to get better without radical systemic transformation
Showcases little-known classified US documents on unconventional warfare doctrine and the use of terror by states to make societies safe for capital penetration – and explores how this doctrine played out in the sponsorship of Islamist extremist networks and counterinsurgency practices in Afghanistan and Iraq
Dissects US and UK military and intelligence policies, particular after 9/11, in the Middle East and Central Asia, and their role in maximising state powers as strategic attempts to counter the destabilisation of world order due to anticipated global ecological, energy and economic crises
Highlights the indelible inter-linkages between multiple global ecological, economic and energy crises, their paths of convergence and positive-feedback loops, future warfare, the escalation of police-state practices, the rise of the far-right, and the intensification of discrimination against minorities within the West – including the spectre of genocide
Unfolds a comprehensive conceptual map of how the global system works, its key political, economic, ideological and ethical structural problems, and an eleven-step guideline for systemic transition to post-carbon civilization
More Advance Praise for A User's Guide
"Dr. Ahmed presents the clearest synthesis to date of the systemic problems facing human civilization. There is no shortage of popular texts on climate change, economic challenges, energy scarcity, and terrorism, but this work is the first to effectively integrate these diverse issues into a compelling and unified system – one that is both accessible to a broad audience yet grounded in rigorous academic research. As his thesis makes abundantly clear, the impact of these individual issues cannot be fully understood or effectively addressed in isolation. A User's Guide to the Crisis of Civilization presents the reader with a framework for developing a systemic response." Jeff Vail J.D. – Former US Department of the Interior Counterterrorism Analyst; former US Air Force Intelligence Officer for global energy infrastructure; author, A Theory of Power
"How can a discussion of the all too familiar crises of our time be a hopeful book? By combining a microscopic dissection of the structure of each with a telescopic view of how they weave together in a whole system. If the myriad international conferences and programs haven't worked, it isn't that we have to try harder but that we have to confront the whole free of conventional constraints. Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed confronts the whole." Richard Levins – John Rock Professor of Population Sciences, Harvard School of Public Health, Harvard University; author, Evolution in Changing Environments
"A suicidal Moloch aka 'the military industrial fossil fuel nuclear terror complex' and its Imperial Agenda is pushing humanity rapidly to tipping points that would plunge us into the abyss of irreversible catastrophic global warming. This is the reality this User's Guide to the Crisis of Civilization analyzes with profound scholarly insight and wisdom. In this magisterial exposition of the multiple intersecting challenges facing humanity in our century Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed points to real solutions. Instead of a future even more miserable and dangerous than the world we live in now, armed with the depth of knowledge and the courage demonstrated in this work we can and will construct the other world that is possible. All of us, but especially the youth of our planet will be empowered by reading this book." David Schwartzman – Professor of Biology, Howard University, Washington DC; author, Life, Temperature and the Earth: the self-organizing biosphere
"Nafeez Ahmed's book confronts the reader with the stark message that life as we know it is unsustainable. It will have disappeared by the end of the 21st century, and we along with it –unless a comprehensive system change will have occurred in the meantime. Ahmed's analysis of a necessary systemic transformation to a post-carbon political economy, although 'a user's guide' is not a catalogue of easy answers. It provides a chilling enumeration of the existential challenges humanity faces, and can only by qualified as optimistic in the sense that it does not leave a single illusion in place. A must-read but not as bed-time reading." Kees van der Pijl – Professor of International Relations, School of Global Studies, University of Sussex; Chair of Department of International Relations and Director of Centre for Global Political Economy (2000-2006); Leverhulme Major Research Fellow; author, Modes of Foreign Relations and Political Economy (3 volumes)
"This is an important book. There has been much discussion already about climate change, peak oil, the cost of food and overpopulation, the global financial crisis busting neoliberal capitalism, the rise of violent extremism, and the containment of the so-called war on terror. But this is the first book to systematically explore their interconnections and place them within a single comprehensive narrative. That makes it a very worthwhile read for policy-makers everywhere." Rt. Hon. Michael Meacher MP – UK Minister of State for the Environment (1997-2003); Under-Secretary of State for Health and Social Security (1975-79); Under-Secretary of State for Industry (1974-75)
"Few thinkers weave as many threads into a tapestry as Nafeez Ahmed has done so superbly in this book. Those of us who seek to operate within the form of capitalism that has evolved today would do well to ask ourselves a very big question. Are we wasting our time? If it is true that only root-to-branch rewriting of the global economic operating manual can save society from an unliveable future, shouldn't we be putting our weight behind that re-engineering process before it is too late?" Dr. Jeremy Leggett – UK Department of Trade & Industry's Renewables Advisory Board (2002-2006); CEO, Solarcentury, member of UK Industry Taskforce on Peak Oil & Energy Security; author, Half Gone and The Carbon War
"This is a staggeringly comprehensive bird's-eye view of the gaping cracks that are appearing in global industrial civilization. Ahmed weaves a context that makes current economic and geopolitical events comprehensible. If you want to understand why the world is coming apart at the seams and what we can do to lay the foundations for a sane, peaceful, and sustainable society, read this book." Richard Heinberg – Senior Fellow, Post Carbon Institute; author, The Party's Over, Powerdown and Peak Everything
"This important analysis exposes vital truths and challenges much conventional wisdom. It deserves to be widely read."

I love EASE. It has been very helpful with night time leg/toe cramps. I love it so much I have been giving away half bottles to friends who seem to have symptoms that would benefit from it like cramping, restless legs, and even pain from sore muscles or broken or sprained joints/bones. Even folks who need to relax a bit to get to sleep at night benefit from spraying EASE on after a shower before going to bed at night. *

I was doing some brush burning on our property yesterday. Wow was I tired and had a sore back after a couple hours of that. Normal outcome. But now I have been using Ease for a month or so. I took a bath, got a good spray of Ease on my sore back. Woke up today with no sore muscles. At age 69, female and 5 feet, I am always over exerting myself. Soooo happy to have this great product. I have shared samples with friends and family, they all find it very helpful. Thank you Activation!! *

I have ordered and I am big fan of magnesium. This gets absorbed thru skin. Especially good after bath, before bed. Then put on eye mask. Instead of waking up 2-3 am I am now able most nights to sleep to early mornings hours. It is still my habit to wake early. But I am pleased with this product. *

I've been using the magnesium spray for a few months. It's changed my life. I now sleep so much better and have more energy.
I purchased my spray from Magnus Mulliner in England. He's a fountain of knowledge.
Also recently I pulled a hamstring playing tennis and it's healing quickly with the help of the magnesium spray.
I've been using the panaseeda flaxseed oil for just over a fortnight now and my fuzzy head seems to have disappeared. Amazing what natural products of excellent quality can do.
I'm just going to wait until the 60 days are up from using the flaxseed oil then I will purchase the coriander oil to try instead of my digestive enzymes which I've been talking for 4years. I will let you know how it goes.
Thankyou again.

Last week I over did it on my feet all day. At days end my legs were pins and needles and even laying down did not help. My heels and balls of feet were so sore (I didn't wear my shoes like I usually do) and even laying down did not help. BUT… I sprayed the EASE all over my legs and bottoms of feet, then my husband massaged my legs an feet so hard, it was painful, but the next morning! Wow!! NO Pain whatsoever! 🙂 I was so happy, but didn't realize it until halfway into the afternoon! *

I had a major back issue for the last 6 months that was crippling me. There was a knot in my back so bad I couldn't sit still for 10 mins, I figured it would just go away, but it didn't. I often sit and meditate for 20 mins but during this time I just had to do it lying down. I finally decided to go to an RMT to solve this problem. When I got there, the RMT noticed a bulge in the tissue'….probably not a big deal, but not what I wanted to hear!
I had 7 or 8 massages, and spent over $500 – the knot couldn't be released, and the bulge persisted. Next, I went to a Chiropractor – after 6 Chiropractic/Electrotherapy sessions there was still no lasting impact. I was getting desperate for a solution, and I spoke with a friend who recommended another health practitioner. This RMT was renowned for very strong deep tissue massage….she used her elbows and it was seriously painful. Many sessions later the knot and the bulge were still as present and debilitating as ever. The RMT finally recommended I go to see my doctor and suggested a CT scan was probably the next step just to be safe. So that was my next step. This was just before Christmas. Fortunately in the meantime I met Ian…….
When I got the Activation [EASE] Spray, I asked my wife to rub it on my back. It was stinging/tingling a bit, so I asked her to put some coconut oil on and then massage it in. She massaged it for about 10 Minutes, and the knot was gone – and the bulge could not be found! Now, 3 days later, I have no issue whatsoever. A major problem that cost me months of pain and peace of mind, well over $1000 in medical bills, as well as time researching, booking, travelling and attending appointments ….was solved with a simple product that costs $29.95.
You are selling an awesome product! *

"I had tried several other brands of magnesium oil and Ease is by far the best and most absorbable magnesium oil I have ever used. Please don't ever discontinue or change this products formulation because I swear by this product. It not only stops sinus headaches within minutes, it keeps my body from experiencing any post workout muscle aches. Love this product." *

I regularly use Ease, magnesium spray for my various aches and pains with mostly positive results. Today the fingers of my left hand went into a spasm and the two middle ones curled towards my palm. For a moment I thought it could be a mini stroke but I had been lifting pans from the oven drawer when this happened not doing anything strenuous. To come to the point, this pain and cramped position did not go away. I tried keeping my hand warm, rubbing some medicated gel on it but with no results. Suddenly I remembered how effective Ease was with night leg cramps and sprayed it liberally on my hand. To my surprise my fingers straightened out and I could wiggle them comfortably. I applied some more for good measure and except for some soreness, my hand is still flexible six hours after the incident happened.
Certainly another major plus in my book for Ease. Thank you for such a wonderful product. *

I hope I will be able to order another bottle as soon as I don't' want to run out. My husband said he would help me get it if I don't have enough money. Even he has seen how good it is I have used it on his sore muscles and have been telling all my friend and one even took a picture of the bottle so she will know what to look for online.

I have been using EASE magnesium for about 3 months now and I have to say that it is the best decision that I have made. [W]hen I have pain I spray the ease on my back and knees and rub it in a little and with in about 5-10 mins the pain is gone on bad days it can take a little longer before the pain is lessened so I just continue to spray. As with this condition the pain will return but, the ease makes it a lot more manageable for the pain and discomfort that I feel on a daily basis. Another way I use the magnesium is on bed soars and after spraying on the affected area for a few days the pain is gone and the soars almost completely gone. I love this stuff I don't know where I would be with out it. Thank you 🙂 *

I have used many different Magnesium Sprays in the past. I was using them, because I read a lot of positive things about spraying Magnesium on your skin is superior to oral ingestion. Unfortunately all other sprays and magnesium oil products I used in the past, had many very uncomfortable side effects. Stinging, itching, burning on the skin for at least 30 minutes after application. There was no relaxing effect, because if your are in pain after using a product, it´s difficult to relax. The absolute worst side effect of all other products was though, that they left me with a horrible sticky feeling on my skin for hours (like a "second skin" or sun protection spray). My bed sheets had also to be changed every 3-4 days, because when applying these other sprays before going to bed, the bed sheets became sticky too!
ALL of these side effects of other products are not there with EASE! It´s a way superior product, that gives you the Magnesium boost you need, without any side effects! For the first time, I can even feel the instant relaxing effect of the product! Thank you so much! *

I have a lot of […] pain. And I mean A LOT! I have pretty much everything that goes along with that…brain fog, trouble sleeping, etc. I have searched for the answer to this pain issue.
Three days ago, I received the bottle of EASE spray I ordered and used it as directed. Within minutes, the pain was GONE. Pain in my arms, legs, hips, shoulders and knees. I couldn't believe it. I was happy but even sitting there, about to go to bed, I was incredibly skeptical…this must be a fluke, a placebo effect, intense wishful thinking. I got sleepy (I have to take sleeping pills to sleep and this was NOT that kind of sleepy). I realized I was about to fall asleep, way before I normally would. WOW! The next night, I did the same. I laid down and experienced something that I have not experienced in 7 years. My muscles suddenly untensed. MY MUSCLES RELAXED! Yes, I am screaming because this was nothing short of a miracle. Today when I told someone about my muscles relaxing, I started to cry. I am so grateful to feel that way again.
Application is easy. There is truly no greasy feeling. It is light and even a bit refreshing when applied. I still can't believe that this is so effective but it is. I recommended it to two friends already, one of which tried it last night and guess what…she had the same experience as I did!
Thank you for an amazing product. After only three days of use, I am already thinking that this must be available for the rest of my life!
I would not normally share such personal information but I am so grateful for this product that I promised myself that I would share my experience with anyone who could benefit from it. *

Here is what I have to say about EASE after several months of use.
"EASE Magnesium is a great product that lives up to its billing. Like many people in my age group (62) I have had trouble getting sound, uninterrupted sleep on a regular basis. When I started using EASE last fall I noticed an effect in the SECOND night! I don't even need to use as much as Ian recommends. I use about half that amount and spray it on my shoulders, neck, heart and wrists after showering in the morning and as a result get a solid 7 – 8 hours of deep sleep per night without waking up when I turn over. It truly is a fabulous product to help one get the sleep one needs to have a productive day." *

Due to medical conditions, I see many "ologists" & no one had a solution for my cramp problem until i was sent to Steve Young for physical therapy. I cramped at my therapy session & explained my problem to him. After conferring with my Doctors we used the magnesium spray on my legs (my doctors basically said it wouldn't work). I figured it was a coincidence when i didn't have cramps that evening but after 1 month & much less than half my usual cramps, I was convinced…& when I stopped using the spray for a month, my daily cramps started to return…I immediately ordered the product for myself.
Yesterday at 2am, I was jolted out of a deep sleep with severe leg cramps & pain radiating from my upper thigh down my calf to my toes…I immediately used the magnesium spray on my entire leg & after less than 5minutes the cramps were gone…i still felt as if my leg was going to cramp at any minute (as they always do)…but instead was able to go back to sleep, cramp free…I am so happy my physical therapist, recommended your product!!! I am very grateful *

Just want to say that the Magnesium is amazing. I had sciatic pain for months and when I sprayed it on my hip, within seconds it disappeared… couldn't believe it and then! Boom, it disappeared all together and I have no pain ever and still almost the entire bottle left. Thanks so much Ian, you've done it again. *

I just wanted to say thank you and give a report of what I discovered magnesium means for my body – since going without for a few weeks. I went without for nearly three weeks which ended up revealing the profound significance magnesium has been to my body. When I suddenly had no more to use recently nothing drastic happened but ALL last week (after two solid weeks with no magnesium oil and several days before the 500 ml bottle finally arrived) I struggled terribly with weakness and aches, numbness, [stress] (startling frantically at noises), feeling nervous like I was seeing things out of the corner of my eyes, legs jumping a bit at night in bed, memory issues, and severe fatigue. One night my arm went so numb I had to pick it up with my other arm to move it!
These were all what I had going on prior to magnesium to varying degrees and since I've been on the oil, the aches and weakness above all seemed to disappear. My arms weren't going numb as severely at night. I stopped being so easily startled. The carpal tunnel in the day wasn't as problematic. But last week it seemed I was back at square one… I was so darn weak and my muscles were so achy. I had an ache type cramp in the bottom of the arch of my left foot for days and my left shoulder wouldn't rotate without pain. These in addition to overall aches spread out. I couldn't understand why I regressed. So I was perplexed at how I could be regressing so severely. I knew I hadn't had the magnesium for a couple weeks but it honestly never dawned on me that the lack of it for that short of a time frame was the reason I went into this tail spin.
That is until it arrived and I used it again for a few days. It came Saturday. I used it then and Sunday and Monday. Well, Monday I was much improved. Not entirely but the severe aches and weakness lifted. Tuesday even though I used it I admit I had a lot of aches but the weakness wasn't as bad and severe numbness in my sleep didn't happen. And the startling isn't as severe. When I say less severe, I mean I still startled but my stomach didn't go into terrorized spasms (butterflies and shaking). So, there's improvement. Maybe I need a few more days of the oil before I'm fully better but I just looked up the symptoms for magnesium deficiency again and it explains every single symptom to the T! I saw that it not only causes muscle weakness, aches, memory issues, numbing and tingling but also easily startled, [stress] and irritability. Boy was I unusually irritable.

I've had a neck & back pain problem for over a year now and it probably took many years to get to the level it's at now. Over the last year I went to numerous doctors, had MRIs, tried chiropractic treatments, yoga, Rolfing, massage, medicine, vitamin supplements & other treatments. I even tried other magnesium products before [EASE] Magnesium. By far [EASE] Magnesium has worked better than all the above mentioned treatments. A friend told me about magnesium and through researching the internet I ran across [EASE] Magnesium. I'm so grateful that I discovered Magnesium & it's made the quality of my life so much better. *

[EASE] Magnesium is great because it can be sprayed on the skin and it doesn't sting or leave a sticky residue.
I was using Magnesium Oil which is also taken transdermally; however, because of it's saltiness it was difficult and uncomfortable to use.
Magnesium has helped a lot with tension headaches and hair loss so I plan on continuing to take it.
I can't say which product is more effective, maybe equally so, but [EASE] Magnesium is now my preferred vehicle because of the ease of use. *

I had horrible sciatica pain on my right side but only when I layed down to sleep. it never hurt during the day. It would radiate down the outside of my leg and cross just below the knee. It was horrible and I constantly woke up in the night. Well I started spraying Ease on the spots following directions but also sprayed on the lumbar area of my lower back. Pain is gone! No more leg pain at all. *

This is so much better than the ancient sea brine type of magnesium oil I tried first. It does not sting or burn like the other, and I use it on my face where I have oily spots prone to breakouts. It neutralizes the oil but at the same time doesn't make my skin feel dry. I use it morning and night, about 12 spritzes all over my body and lightly massaged in. I can't take much magnesium by mouth because of digestive issues, so I really appreciate this form of magnesium. As a bonus, it clears up bug bites and skin abrasions very quickly. Well worth the cost, and I always appreciate free shipping. *

I bought this as more of a hair loss experiment. The theory goes that, male pattern baldness is caused by calcification of the scalp. Magnesium is known to dissolve calcium in soft tissues. No brainer right. So I shaved my head and started applying this to my scalp. Now it appears that my receding hair line is coming back! I kinda don't believe it but there is hair growing to the point where my hair line is back to normal although still a little thin. It has only been 2 weeks! I also gave this product to a friend who has pain in her legs when she sleeps and so far she hasn't had any pain since. A little pricy but worth it. *

I came across Ease in January. I thought it might help with the lingering neuropathy from chemotherapy 18 months before. I sprayed some on my feet and ankles. Within half an hour I noticed something remarkable. My ankles didn't ache anymore! My ankles and knees have ached constantly all day every day since chemo. I started using it on my knees too. The neuropathy is still there. But it's great not to ache! *

Is EASE okay for my skin?
EASE is great for your whole body, including your skin. We do always recommend spot testing whenever trying a new product, however most people report softer and healthier skin after using EASE.
How big is each bottle of EASE?
Each bottle of EASE contains exactly 8 ounces of pure, bioavailable magnesium.
One bottle of EASE, used every day, should last you one month.
We also have travel-sized bottles available that are small enough to take on an airplane, keep in your desk drawer or carry in your purse.
What makes EASE the highest quality magnesium supplement on the market?
EASE is made from pure, all natural iMCH™ sourced from the Dead Sea. It's some of the most effective, most bioavailable magnesium in the world. iMCH™ is the most biocompatible version of magnesium because of its ability to be quickly absorbed transdermally (through the skin) and used by your cells.
Since your skin is your biggest organ, it allows for the highest level of absorption without taxing your digestive system, liver or kidneys.
Oral magnesium supplements are poorly absorbed and can wreak havoc on your gut, often doing more harm than good. They also take longer to take effect.
How long do I have to wait before I feel EASE working?
Unlike other supplements, EASE begins working almost immediately. Within minutes of spraying it on your skin, you'll begin to feel its powerful soothing effect.
Using EASE consistently on a daily basis will reverse your deficiency over time.
How much EASE should I use per day?
We recommend 30-40 sprays daily (depending on your level of deficiency and your sensitivity to the product).
What if the product doesn't work for me?
While most customers love EASE, if for any reason you feel unsatisfied with your purchase, you are completely covered by our 60-day guarantee.
Why do I feel itchy after spraying EASE on my skin?
Some people experience itchiness for the first minute or so while the magnesium is being absorbed by their skin (usually this takes about 90 seconds). Some people have dry skin caused by bacteria which the magnesium will kill. When it kills the bacteria this can cause itchiness. If you experience itchiness, don't massage the magnesium into your skin too much because that can cause irritation. If the itchiness continues for more than a couple of minutes we recommend washing off the excess magnesium five minutes after application. By that time your body will have absorbed what it needs.
Are there any detoxing effects with EASE Magnesium?
Some people find that when they first begin supplementing with magnesium they experience certain detox effects. We have had reports of restlessness or increased energy. If your calcium levels are high, supplementing with magnesium can cause the calcium to be released into your bloodstream, leading to high calcium symptoms (insomnia, muscle pain/spasms, etc). Once your system balances out, this should subside.
You can try reducing the number of sprays while your body is getting into balance to see if that helps.
EASE Magnesium is made with magnesium from the Dead Sea. Isn't the Dead Sea polluted?
The Dead Sea is visited daily by people seeking the health benefits of soaking in the concentrated minerals in that body of water. Many minerals besides magnesium are also harvested from its rich waters and used with great effect.
The magnesium we use has gone through extensive purification processes to create a very specific crystalline form of magnesium chloride hexahydrate, completely free of all pollutants, heavy metals, toxins and even other minerals. This is very important, because the raw material we use is also used by companies that create injectable products. Under no circumstances can a magnesium injection be permitted to have contaminants. This is what is known as 'pharmaceutical grade' magnesium.
Our final formulation is absolutely pure, perfectly safe and healthful for your body.
Is it necessary to take a calcium supplement when using EASE Magnesium?
No, it's not necessary to take a calcium supplement when using EASE. It's always a good idea to consult with your licensed health care professional before starting on any supplement or dietary program. If you are already taking a calcium supplement, there is no reason to stop doing so unless your healthcare provider recommends it.
How is EASE different from Ancient Minerals magnesium oil and flakes or Health and Wisdom magnesium crystals?
While we do not make comparison claims with similar products on the market, we do stand 100% behind our EASE Magnesium and its proven benefits.
Here are the top 3 reasons why EASE Magnesium™ is the only magnesium to use:
- The only ingredients in EASE are pharmaceutical grade magnesium chloride hexahydrate derived using a critical extraction method from Dead Sea minerals, and pure water.
- We have an exclusive method of transforming the raw material into a fully saturated fluid form that is instantly absorbed through your skin on contact, leaving no greasy, slimy or itchy residue behind.
- EASE is completely free of heavy metals, environmental toxins and any other contamination. It is perfectly safe for anyone at any age to use.
What makes EASE so easy to absorb?
In general, magnesium chloride hexahydrate (MCH) is much easier for your body to absorb than other types of magnesium. When you put magnesium chloride (MC) and MCH in open containers side by side, the MCH will actually absorb water from the ambient air and melt into a pool of water. This is because the hexahydrate part (which is six water molecules attached to each magnesium chloride group) attracts more water to itself. When our product contacts your skin, the same thing happens, though much more quickly, because of the high water content of the human body. By contrast, magnesium chloride will not dissolve if exposed to open air.
Getting MCH through your skin, rather than through an oral supplement, also ensures greater absorption because the digestive system can have a hard time processing magnesium. With our EASE spray or Deep Soak, the magnesium gets into your bloodstream directly through your skin.
Can you overdose on EASE Magnesium?
One cannot overdose on magnesium absorbed through the skin. The recommended dose is 30-40 sprays per day. When taken orally, magnesium can cause digestive upset and loose stools if you take too much. Because EASE enters your bloodstream through your skin it bypasses your digestive system.
It may be helpful to note that our bodies take in magnesium and marry it with calcium so that it can be used and burned. You can use more of the product to help build up a store in it and prevent calcification.
How much magnesium is in each spray of EASE?
EASE Magnesium is made with a proprietary process that delivers the optimum amount of magnesium. The magnesium we use is 100% magnesium chloride hexahydrate, not 46% (or less) magnesium chloride like most other topical magnesium products.
Each spray delivers approximately 22 mg of pure magnesium chloride hexahydrate directly to your bloodstream through your skin.

CARSON, Calif. – Supporters' Shield. CONCACAF Champions League. MLS Cup.
Those were the LA Galaxy's major goals to accomplish before the season began, and after defeating Real Salt Lake 3-1 in Sunday's Western Conference Championship, the club is now in position to go three-for-three.
The Galaxy will officially host Houston in MLS Cup 2011 on Nov. 20 at the Home Depot Center. And according to the coach, what transpired from March right on through Sunday night is now irrelevant.
"This is a competition that's four or five games," Galaxy coach Bruce Arena said. "The regular season doesn't mean anything and we want to be the best team in this four-or-five-game tournament. And we have that opportunity."
RSL did not go down without a fight though. The MLS Cup 2009 champs entered the match with lingering injury concerns as both Jámison Olave and Nat Borchers were in doubt. Only Olave made the starting lineup, while Chris Schuler filled in for Borchers.
That Olave played the way he did, lasting for 82 minutes and assisting on RSL's only goal on the night, impressed Arena.
"Olave did well considering he's playing with an injury," Arena said. "We all know he wasn't 100 percent, and for him to gut it out like that was pretty remarkable. He's an outstanding defender. Unfortunately when playing three games in a week and at the end of a long season, teams are going to have injuries. Players are not 100 percent and unfortunately that was the case for Olave."
Landon Donovan gave the Galaxy the lead after just 23 minutes as he converted a penalty kick but Álvaro Saborío quickly answered with a header off a corner kick.
Some frenetic play ensued but the Galaxy did not come out ahead until the second half when the match conditions began to favor the hosts.
"I told the guys, 'When the game slows down it's going to favor us.' Some of the passing we had to get behind them and create some chances was terrific," Arena said. "That was the difference. As the game settled down, slowed down a little bit, it favored us."
David Beckham continued his masterful play with a picture-perfect cross in the 58th minute that Magee got his head to. While Magee did well to bury the header, Beckham's cross was of the sort that made him an icon in world soccer.
"I've seen that before," Arena said. "It was terrific and a great finish. David has been remarkable in these playoffs and this year, his experience and his desire have been incredible."
Robbie Keane scored on a counterattack 10 minutes later and the Galaxy nearly added a few more, but were stymied by a committed RSL defense and their own subpar finishing.
Still, it was enough to see them through, and give them a chance to reach their ultimate goal.
"[The Galaxy] deserve to be in the final," Arena said. "Now we know that we've got to bring it and play our best if we want to hold the trophy on the 20th."

Red Rock Rondo's 1st CD, Zion Canyon Song Cycle, was #10 on the national Folk DJ charts (with the #7 song), and was deemed the "best local album of the year" by the Salt Lake Tribune's David Burger. Their music special has been broadcast on PBS stations nationally, and won 2 regional Emmy Awards including "Best Musical Composition."
Red Rock Rondo's new CD, Live at the Symphony: A Secret Gift, is a new Americana song cycle inspired by recently found letters from the Great Depression written in response to an anonymous gift giver on the eve of Christmas in 1933. Lives were changed by the generous offer of a helping hand. This story is told in the bestselling book by Ted Gup, A Secret Gift (Penguin Press 2010).
Phillip Bimstein composed the 14-song cycle for Red Rock Rondo and then scored 8 of the songs for full orchestra and 165-voice choir. Red Rock Rondo performed A Secret Gift in concert at Libby Gardner Hall in December 2011 with the Salt Lake Symphony, conducted by Robert Baldwin, and the West Jordan High School Concert Choir, directed by Kelly DeHaan. The concert was recorded live by Bob Abeyta of Bel Canto Recording, and the tracks were engineered, edited and mixed by Michael Greene at Rotosonic Sound. It was mastered by David Glasser at Airshow in Boulder, CO.
A Secret Gift begins with "Secret Prelude," an instrumental meditation on generosity and compassion. Immediately following, "Silent Snow" tells how secret gifts were given to an entire community.
Each ensuing song portrays a different letter or story from that era: the struggles of single women ("Work Sleep Love"), the tragedies and triumphs of grueling dance contests ("The Last Marathon Dance"), a 14-year-old girl's touching plea for food and clothing ("Dear Sir"), and a lighthearted celebration of a surprising but necessary food staple of that time ("Dandelions").
Composer Phillip Bimstein's music has been performed at Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center, the Spoleto and Aspen Music Festivals, London's Royal Opera House—and his new wave band's videos appeared regularly on MTV in the 1980s.

A large kitchen for dinner parties. Vaulted ceilings. An inviting outdoor living space. Whatever it is you have in mind for your perfect home, leave the financing to us. We have two types of construction loans to help you make your dream home a reality.
One-Time Close
This option is truly as simple as it sounds, combining an interim construction loan with a permanent mortgage loan into a single transaction. That means you only have to fill out one application and go through one closing. Program benefits:
- You close one time and pay only one set of closing costs
- You will lock in an interest rate prior to construction
- Pay as little as 10% down for primary residences
- You only pay interest on money used for construction, not the entire loan amount
- You take title to the property right away, allowing you to begin building equity immediately if values improve
Two-Time Close
This is a two-step process where you first obtain a temporary loan to get the project started. Then when construction is complete, you refinance your initial loan to get your regular mortgage at the most favorable terms possible. Advantages include:
- You'll close two times, but you'll receive closing cost credits that may result in low or no cost refinancing for your permanent mortgage
- We'll lock the interest rate for your second refinance loan up to 12 months
- Pay as little as 10% down for primary residences
- You only pay interest on money used for construction, not the entire loan amount
- No mortgage insurance required during the construction phase
Simple Process
The PrimeLending home loan experience offers hassle-free document submissions, clear communication, personal guidance and fast, efficient closings*. I'll be by your side every step of the way to ensure you stay to informed and your home loan stays on track.
Contact me today to get started.
*On time closing and fast processing is dependent on many factors including receiving timely documentation from the borrower.

With apologies to Richard Farina, today's Bureau of Labor Statistics jobs report for October shows small gains that for most of U.S. history would have been considered meager but must now be seen as better than expected. (See these tables and graphics on this month's weak jobs growth and the 11-year-trend for my detailed analysis.)
After all, over the past 11 years (Oct. 2000 to Oct. 2011) despite population grown of just over 30 million people, the U.S. now has lost more than 1.8 million private sector jobs. But the 11-year job loss—the first since the 1930s—was worse earlier this year.
And while today's BLS report shows a gain of only 80,000 jobs in October, it also revises upward the number of jobs in the previous two months by a total of 102,000. That is, there are 182,000 more jobs in October than BLS previously estimated for September. The economy has now added jobs for 13 months in a row, adding 1.5 million year-over-year. Private sector job growth now has occurred for 22 consecutive months, adding over 1.8 million jobs year-over-year—partially offset by the loss of government jobs, mostly in local and state government – one-third in public education.
"Average" nominal private sector wages rose 0.2% in October, likely keeping up with inflation that the BLS will report on November 16. And the average real weekly wage for September was revised upward slightly which, together with the upward revisions to the number of jobs in August and September means that the decline in real per capita disposable incomes in those months was not as sharp as currently reported and will be revised upwards later this month by Bureau of Economic Analysis. Unless household spending is also revised, this also suggests that the plunge in household savings to a 3.6% rate for September also may be revised slightly upwards.
Continuing a long-term trend, most new private sector jobs in October again were for "non-supervisory/production" positions, with fewer than one in eight new jobs considered in the generally higher-skill, higher-wage "supervisory" category. "Professional and Business Services" added 32,000 jobs in October but only 3,000 of these were in its generally higher-wage subcategory of "professional and technical services"—and even here distinctions cannot be made between professional and support staff. Most new "professional and business services" jobs in October were for lower-wage subcategories "temporary help services" and "services to buildings and dwellings."
Generally lower average wage private health care and education bureaucracies added another 28,000 jobs in October, retailers added 18,000 jobs and restaurants/caters and bars added 13,000 jobs. Still generally higher-wage manufacturers of transportation equipment also added 10,000 jobs in October, including the much-hyped "comeback" Auto and Parts industry which added 6,000 jobs.
The official unemployment rate in October edged down to 9.0% from 9.1% in September but this, too, masks a relatively hopeful development. The BLS' survey of households – which produces the unemployment figures – found 277,000 more people claiming to be employed in October. And this comes after BLS found 398,000 more claiming to be employed in September and 331,000 more employed in August. Many of these million newly "employed" over the past three months are self-employed entrepreneurs and many may be spending down savings to start a business rather than earning net income. Still, this is a big and hopeful turnaround from recent months and most of the past four years of decline.
The official unemployment rate did not drop further in October (and in recent months) because the number of people who say they are working or actively looking for work also rose sharply in October and in August and September—by a total of almost one million. But there are STILL 755,000 fewer people now than in October 2008 counted by the household labor force survey as either working or looking for work—continuing the first sustained three-year decline in the size of the labor force on records to 1947. The average time that people still counted as jobless and actively searching for a job in October declined slightly to 39.4 weeks—nine months—almost double the worst previous average search time on record. If the number of people counted in the labor force had continued rising normally over the past three years, the official jobless rate even now would be a record of near 13 percent.
Today's BLS report shows 13.9 million people still officially counted as unemployed, 8.9 million working part-time but wanting full time work and another 6.4 million people who have stopped looking for work but say they want a job. That is, there are now 29.2 million people wanting work in America.
And current labor market conditions cannot remotely be understood without an appreciation for the eleven year record of the 21st century. Over the past 11 years, while just more than 30 million people have been added to the U.S. population, the country has lost 600,000 total jobs including the loss of 1,836,000 jobs (1.6%) in the private sector. This is the first time since the eleven years ended in 1938 – when the government prematurely cut jobs and stimulus programs to reduce deficits – that U.S. job growth has not averaged 1 percent-to-3 percent per year.
Over the past 11 years the U.S. has lost 7.3% of its private, supervisory jobs. The manufacturing sector lost 5.5 million (31.7%) of its jobs, with major losses in every sector—including the loss of 53 percent of jobs in communications equipment producers, 44.7 percent of jobs in semiconductor producers and 45.2 percent of jobs in the recently-hyped "comeback" U.S. auto and parts producing industry. The loss of $6.4 trillion in production from U.S. global trade deficits over the past 11 years has taken a devastating and lasting toll.
Information services, much hyped a decade ago, has lost more than 1,020,000 jobs (27.7%) in the past 11 years. Multiple foreign military actions and intensive "homeland security" has helped generate massive government contraction and 602,000 private sector jobs in computer systems design and technical consulting. But the major sectors for off-setting job growth are private health care and education bureaucracies which added over 4.9 million jobs over the past 11 years and restaurants/caterers and bars that created almost 1.4 million new jobs.
Government job growth over the past 11 years was also vital in offsetting private sector job losses. Most of the 1.2 million new jobs in government agencies were created at the local and state level, with two-thirds of the new jobs created in public education. While job gains (and household expenses) continue in private health care and education, local, state and federal government jobs are now being slashed (323,000 lost year over year) – including in public education.
So, today's BLS report on meager job growth in October is better than expected. But it is in a context of intense and widespread hardship in America unknown and largely unimagined since at least 1938 … and profound insecurities about what may lie ahead.

Starting this fall, a new residence hall will redefine the freshman experience for many University of Houston students.
UH's latest state-of-the-art housing complex Cougar Village will open its doors to first-time-in-college freshmen. The seven-story 291,000-square-foot-facility will house 1,132 students. Cougar Village is located off Wheeler Avenue.
An invitation-only grand opening ceremony is scheduled for 10 a.m., Aug. 16. Speakers include UH President Renu Khator and UH System Board of Regents Chairman Welcome Wilson. Members of the media can tour Cougar Village following the ribbon cutting at 11 a.m. Public tours will commence at 2 p.m.
Cougar Village will provide students with a range of amenities on each residential floor. These include social spaces and study areas. The facility also has two kitchens, where students can prepare meals.
The typical Cougar Village suite houses four students in two bedrooms with a shared bath. Single units with one bath also are available. All units are fully furnished and equipped with wireless Internet and Internet Protocol Television, which provides online cable broadcasting.
"I am pleased to welcome incoming freshmen to Cougar Village," Khator said. "This amazing new residence hall is built for student success. It is here that our newest Cougars will begin their academic journeys, so great care was placed in its design. With its ample study spaces, computer labs and meeting areas, Cougar Village will be home to both great students and bold ideas."
The first floor of Cougar Village features a spacious learning center, two computer labs, a large lounge, seminar rooms, classrooms, multipurpose rooms, fitness center, laundry facilities, a game room and a convenience store. Residents also will have skywalk access to UH's newest dining facility Fresh Food Co. Security is provided by electronic card access to the building and elevators, cameras at entrance points, a 24-hour information desk and security officers.
Cougar Village's most unique feature is that it offers students the opportunity to bond with peers who share similar academic interests. Honors College students will occupy an entire floor, and wings of the building are themed according to specific disciplines such as business, engineering/technology, communication and art.
"That's what sets Cougar Village apart from other residence halls," said Elwyn Lee, UH vice president for student affairs. "It will offer a space for both learning and living. This is a perfect environment for students to connect with classmates and begin their university experience."
HADP Architecture designed Cougar Village. It was built by Hardin Construction, which worked with several local subcontractors. The project's budget was $50 million.
In addition to Cougar Village, UH offers several campus housing options for students: Moody Towers and the Quadrangle for first-and-second year students; Bayou Oaks, Cullen Oaks, and Cougar Place for third-and-fourth year students; and Cambridge Oaks apartments and Calhoun Lofts for graduate/professional and independent undergraduates.
