Dirty Electricity – What Are The Dangers? How To Use GS Filters To Render Your Home Safe
About three years ago I attended a presentation on electrosensitivity organized in the UK. I was already pretty savvy as to the dangers and consequences of cell phone radiation, having lived it firsthand.
After the presentation there were several people holding stands selling various EMF meters, detectors and shielding materials. It was here that I had my first encounter with the notion of dirty electricity (or dirty power).
Here are what some experts say about electromagnetic pollution:
"The greatest polluting element in the earth's environment is the proliferation of electromagnetic fields. "
Robert O. Becker, M. D., -Author of The Body Electric(1985)
"The harmful biological effects of exposure to electrical pollution have been established in numerous studies conducted during the past 50 years."
Dr. Martin Graham, -Emeritus Professor of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, University of California.
All Electricity Is Not Equal
I was once like most people, I thought that electricity was homogenous. I thought that you paid for your electricity supply (240 volts or 110 volt depending on what part of the world you live in) and you got electricity. End of story.
Well things are not quite as simple as that. Because there is also something called the quality of electricity. That's to say two houses in the same street can have the same 110 volts (or 230 volts) running through their internal wiring system, from the same source, but the quality of electricity can vary by multiples of 10 or even 100. The variation occurs because of very brief irregular changes in the voltage, known as 'transients'. They can be caused by external sources such as cellphone masts, or by internal sources, like your own electrical equipment. These transients can be measured by using something called a Graham Stetzer meter or GS meter.
Using a GS meter and installing a collection of GS filters is a means by which your electricity can be rendered 'safer'.
Watch this short video by Magda Havas for an explanation of GS units:
What Does The GS Filter System Do?
A GS filter system is a means of transforming dirty electricity back into good quality power. It filters out electromagnetic pollution in the range 4 to 150 Khz (that which Russian research has shown to be the most dangerous) carried in your power supply.
The human body is an electrical being. All the cells, tissues and organs in your body communicate with each other via small electrical currents. Dirty electricity perturbs these communications which makes the body vulnerable to disease.
Studies show that there is a biological impact to electromagnetic pollution. Cell phone towers and cell phones produce one form of this pollution, but dirty electricity produces another. Just as deadly.
Dirty Electricity As Explained By Sam Milham
Sam Milham in his book "Dirty Electricity : Electrification and the diseases of civilization ". defines dirty electricity as high frequency voltage transients on electrical wiring.
Dr Milham analyzed death records from electrified and rural areas in the early part of the 20th-century and compared them with statistics from areas where there was no electrification. He discovered a correlation between electrification and such diseases as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, suicide, neurodegenerative disease. He found that where electricity had been introduced the disease rates were much higher.
Interestingly he also found that the Amish community, who don't have electricity, have lower rates of heart disease, cancer, diabetes etc
GS Filters – What I Have Learned
Having had a GS filter system installed in my home for several years and having observed the readings from my GS meter over a period of time and in different locations, I have noted the following:
- Dirty electricity seems to be higher in urban areas than in rural areas
- the more electrical appliances you have in your home the more your exposure, especially these devices; flat screen TVs, dimmer switches and CFLs
- the level of dirty electricity fluctuates constantly
I think it could well be that many of the problems associated with cell phone towers and radiofrequency radiation are in fact, as Sam Milham suggests, due to the RF radiation being carried down the power lines.
Do You Need To Install A GS Filter System?
I would start by asking myself the following questions:
- Do I live in an urban area
- do I have a lots of electrical appliances in my home
- do I live in proximity to a cell phone tower
If the answer is yes to the above three questions then it is quite likely that your dirty electricity levels will be high and you need to test.
How To Test Your GS Levels
First, you measure the level of dirty electricity in your home with a GS Microsurge meter with EVERYTHING switched off and unplugged in the house. Then compare the reading to that when everything is switched on.This will tell you whether the dirty electricity is coming into the house from the outside.
If the GS levels are high with everything switched off and unplugged then the source of the problem is external. In which case you need to filter where the supply is entering your home. If the problem is internal you can identify the problem by a process of elimination (see below) and install filters/eliminate the device accordingly.
Is a GS Meter The Only Way Of Finding Out If I Have Dirty Electricity?
One quick and easy way you can get an idea at whether you have dirty electricity in your household wiring is to use an AM radio. Tune your radio to the white noise between the stations and move round your home holding it near your electrical sockets. If your radio gives extra hiss as you are doing this its an indication that there is dirty electricity.
With this method, at best this can only detect if you have dirty electricity. You can't measure it. To be able to do anything meaningful you need to be able to measure your GS levels. And you need to be able to do it on a regular basis because they do fluctuate. With every new appliance you introduce into your home there is a risk that you are creating more dirty electricity.
If you want to deal with this problem effectively measuring your GS levels with a GS Microsurge meter is your best solution.Here's what to do:
- plug the GS meter into a wall socket to measure your GS levels without the filter
- if your GS reading is high, then plug in a GS filter
- plug the meter in again, if the reading is still high you might need a second filter on another wall socket in the same room
Go through your home. Install filters where necessary particularly in rooms where you spend long periods of time.
Interestingly this issue is considered so important in the Republic of Kazakhstan that the country introduced a law in 2003 legislating on the maximum permitted levels of GS units allowed in workplaces. GS filter systems are used commonly to ensure that the GS levels do not go beyond the maximum permitted level of 50 GS units.
This video shows how to use a GS meter:
Will Installing GS Filters Guarantee A Healthier Electricity Supply?
Not necessarily. Some experts contest that introducing dirty electricity filters can cause unwanted effects. These filters do generate magnetic fields, but at 30 cm these fields are negligible. So as long as you're not sitting right next to them this is not an issue.
GS filters do increase the currents in your house wiring. If your house contains any wiring errors installing filters can generate high magnetic fields, which is counter-productive.
The most important thing you can do to create a healthier electricity supply is to eliminate device/s susceptible to be causing the problem (namely things like dimmer switches, compact fluorescents, fluorescents with standard lamps) and notably DECT cordless phones and WiFi modems. You can identify these devices by plugging them in and switching them on one by one, while keeping an eye on the reading given by your GS meter. When you see your readings spike, you can either eliminate the device in question or insert a filter/s.
If in doubt about your house wiring get it checked by a qualified electrician.
Where Is The Best Place To Buy GS Filters?
GS filters are produced in different versions, for different countries. For the US version (110 volts, 60Hz) I recommend this company. They offer good deals on the original Stetzerizer Graham Stetzer filters.
For the UK version (230 volts, 50Hz), click here. This company also sells the original Graham Stetzer filters and offers a good variety of packages, from a basic starter pack upwards.
You can start by just buying the Microsurge meter and then add filters individually or you can buy the GS filter system which is a pack with 20 filters and the meter.
Most importantly, listen to what your body is telling you. If you install filters and find that your symptoms deteriorate, you know that with your current installation filters are not the solution.

In 2008, I was working in a large office building as an IT consultant. I had been working on computers all my life, but this was my first time sitting in an office building all day every day. I was 22 years old at the time, and I was experiencing severe fatigue on a regular basis while sitting at my desk in my office.
It could be the middle of the day, before or after lunch it did not matter. What I ate or drank did not affect it. I would feel so tired that I felt like I needed to lay down on the floor of my office and sleep. I knew something was wrong. Luckily my best friend mentioned the Stetzerizer filters to me. I did a little research online and ordered the meter and a set of the filters.
The reading from the socket on the wall 1 foot from my body was 1650!!! A good reading is 30 or below, and the meter only goes up to 2000. So this was a VERY high and dangerous reading. With 1 filters this went down to about 125. With a second filter it went down to about 65. There were 2 separate circuits going into my office, so I put 2 filters on each circuit. Obviously I could not filter the rest of the building, but filtering just my own personal office was enough to make all the difference in the world.
After getting the numbers down from that level, I NEVER felt tired like that again. It was unbelievable what a difference these filters made for me. I've been sharing them with everyone I can ever since. I also think that having the filters in my home has made me less sensitive to EMFs in general even when I'm out in public.
I would encourage everyone to research dirty electricity and give the filters a chance. You will be glad you did. I'm glad there are people like Dave Stetzer who are finding solutions to this problem and helping us all. I'm also glad that my friend knew about these and shared them with me.
Stella said,
I found your website thru the LiveLighter.org health blog and really appreciate all the research you have completed & provided here for the general public.
As I have been suffering from tinnitus for the past year, fibromyalgia, depression and other conditions for many years previous, I believe this could a major cause of my health challenges.
Since I have lived in a 3rd floor apartment for 16 years opposite hydro-electric lines at the same level, have used cellular phones since 1988 and have been exposed to everything else in this metropolitan city, I hope it is not too late to reverse the damage and risks for cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's etc.
I have bookmarked your site and tweeted your link to anyone else who should read about EMF pollution and the danger ~ and will be protecting myself with GS filters for every single electrical outlet at home.
BTW, when our TVs were switched from analog to digital, I bought a new digital screen with large (outside) antenna which was "temporarily" kept inside my bedroom window for 2 mths. A week ago, I realized my tinnitus getting worse, blurry vision, itchy forehead, extreme dry mouth & greater fatigue than before. That was so telling that I moved the antenna OUTSIDE, pointing upwards & away from the bldg and actually feel a difference in just 48 hours (ie: sleeping 4 hrs straight for the first time in months). I hope I haven't caused irreversible damage to my brain but I am grateful for your valuable information, especially since those medical "experts" have not been very helpful beyond a diagnosis, including causes, treatment, prognosis or protection.
So it pays for us to be our own best advocates, when it comes to our health and well being. Thank you also for your free newsletter which I will share with friends and colleagues.
Lloyd said,
It sounds like the power lines and digital TV antenna exposure have a lot to answer for but its impossible to know what might have caused any illness because its usually a combination of things. No matter, just focus on what you can do to put things right. I believe disease is reversible and you can get better – that's my own personal experience with electrosensitivity. You need to reduce your exposure to emfs from all sources (the GS filters are a good start)all the while working on improving your health in other ways. If you've subscribed to my newsletter you will get information on this.
Yuval Dahan said,
We live in a duplex (so we share one part of our house with our neighbors).
Our neighbors have solar plates on their roof which cause high level of dirty electricity during the noon hours.
We measured the dirty electricity and found out that indeed in the noons of sunny days the reading can reach to 800. The rest of the day is around 150-200.
We are now using gs filter which reduced the reading to 35-45, but I keep thinking that the dirty electricity can reach to our house through the shared walls which we share with our neighbors.
Could you please let me know what is your opinion in this matter?
Lloyd said,
Hi Yuval
It's not through the walls that dirty electricity can be transmitted it's through the wiring principally. What counts is the proximity, obviously these neighbors are very close so it seems you are being affected. You can talk to them about it, take your meter round and show them, maybe print-out this page so they can see for themselves what the dangers are – they can talk with the company that installed the solar panels to see if they have a solution. Maybe they will be encouraged to install some filters at their end, failing that you can just plug in an extra filter or two in your home to get back down to safe levels.

I was diagnosed with MS in 2001. For the next 6-7 years I was pretty sick, having a bad relapsing – remitting Multiple Sclerosis condition and having moved to an area on the north side of Sydney, next to a Railway Line, 3 TV Stations and plenty of Mobile Tower booster stations, it became worse. Eveything I did, in terms of rebuilding my immune system, stopping free radical damage with nutrition and other things worked, and then only temporarily.
In 2007 I installed around 15 Grahem-Stetzer Filters (these were the Australian/NZ Prototypes, we now have the Australian approved Victorian Energy Authority production models available – +61 0411372210 contact/can't use the US/Canada GS Filters. They are only 1 amp and good for USA/Canada only 110 volts/60 HZ))
The MS improved considerably. able to walk better, improved balance and less fatigue. Now I have the MRI scans to prove that this condition has changed, from definite lesions(plaques)readily seen, to very reduced plaques in both the size and prominence. It is my conviction, MS and many autoimmune disorders are affected by environemtnal EMR. The Neuroloigist was shocked, but showed many other neurologists the difference in the scans from 2001 to 2008. It should have been worse! Stetzerizer Filters and a low EMF environment certainly aided this healing process as nothing else was changed. Stephen

Hi Lloyd
About four months ago I started investigating what is going on with these Smart Meters. So I came across of allot of information (including your website which is very educational and easy to follow) which I didn't know anything about before. So I am studying very hard to learn more and more about these very harmful EMFs.
Lately I bought a GS meter and filters and I was going to buy some more for my son who is works in a office and my daughter who doesn't live at home any longer. I haven't bought them yet as I came across this website.
**and scroll down to sub-heading -WIDEBAND EMISSIONS
(Which I think is very informative). Under the heading "Wideband Emission" the author is saying that unscrupulous marketers are selling "filters" which can do more bad than good.
I wonder what is going on with this, and what the facts are. I would appreciate if you have a look at this article and give me your opinion on this topic.
Thanks for your help.
Lloyd said,
Hi Anton
The article does not challenge my thinking on the subject: installing filters without making any attempt to measure if filters are needed is not advisable. Measure first with a GS meter, then install filters as and only if necessary – this is important.
Anton said,
Hi Lloid
Nice explanation. Many thanks.

Pernille de Boer said,
Could you please tell me what meter would be best to buy for measuring dirty electricity here in Denmark. The Stetzeriser Microsurge Meter seems to only come from US.
Does the plug on the GS filters come in a fashion which fits Danish standards ? The US plugs do not fit in Denmark.
I have a meter measuring mobil phones WiFi etc, but would also like one to mesure the Volts in the air from lamps and machinery in the house.
Please recommend a product and if I can get it through UK to Denmark.
Best Regards Pernille de Boer, Denmark. I am highlty sensitive to EMFields for many years now and would like to protect my new house as well as possible.
Lloyd said,
Hi Pernille
For GS filters for Denmark you can contact Antoon at GSfilters.com his email is [email protected]. If I understand correctly you want to measure electric fields, which are measured in V/m. Lots of meters will do this, in terms of value for money the Trifield meter is difficult to beat, see http://www.electricsense.com/1336/is-the-trifield-100xe-the-best-emf-meter/

Hi Lloyd,
I live about 400 yards from a major cell tower with ever-expandng rings of dishes and receiver/transmitter/booster mechanisms. I count about 13 levels on this thing and growing. The county has authorized it and ecourages the owner to make maximum use of the tower so that they dont have to authorize more towers. I know it is affecting us because remote controlled fans and fan light mechanisms and our remote adjustable bed operate by themselves on an ever increasing basis. The huge dc cables on the trunk of the tower must be putting dirty electricity all around this neighborhood and i believe we are getting a heavy dose. I also have a 12kw solar system because the power company here is a monopoly that increases rates 2-3 times a year and i had to break their strangle hold on my wallet. How much do you feel that these two factors are affecting what's going on with our electrical problems based on yor experience. Will installing these filters if ncessary affect the solar system? any suggestions for solving multiple issues? Thanks in advance.
Lloyd said,
Hi Stacy
With a cell tower in close vicinity you are right to assume that you have high levels of dirty electricity in your home. But this remains an assumption. You need to get some readings to be able to take any action here, either get an EMF consultant in or buy a GS meter…if you buy it through Amazon and you find your GS levels are low you can always send it back providing you do so within the 30 day return period.
You need to test if the dirty electricity is created in your home or is coming in on your power line (see explanation in the article above). If its from internal sources you need to install GS filters if its coming in from the outside it would be more effective to install a bigger GS filter at the point of entry (where the consumer unit/fuse box is). You can contact your electricity board for a local supplier.
Is the cell tower creating your electrical problems…possibly….your solar power installation could be another source of problems. These units are fitted with inverters which are known to create dirty electricity – again a GS meter is the first step. I wouldnt be surprised if your home had high radio frequency readings also…
Kate said,
Awesome article. We installed the GS meters in our home after using a meter to test levels. Bio-safe is 30-50 and our outlets were mostly 1,100-1,300! The GS filters brought it down to a safe level – and we have all noticed a difference.
Now we've found that our son's classroom has levels even higher than our home.
We need to order filters for his classroom. I have recently found GreenWave Filters, and they market that their filters cover a wider range of Khz (up to 10,000 I believe). Do you have any knowledge of them? They are less expensive, and each filter has an outlet in it, so from a practical standpoint that looks very appealing.
Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide.
I found another filter at EarthCalm but my understanding is that they actually introduce a new field in the home that replicates the earth and your body then reads the EMFs as being at a safe level. Or – that's my understanding of it. Our son is very EM sensitive, so I don't think this will provide a good option, however EarthCalm has pendents and cell phone protectors that might. Do you have any insight on these or other products that can be used to protect against Cell phones?
Lloyd said,
Hi Kate
The Stetzerizer Filters are the original dirty electricity filters…I have them in my own home and I know they work. I know Greenwave claim their filters are better….personally I'd rather not take risks with this kind of thing.
I do have experience with Earthcalm products. I've tried them and they don't work for me. One thing to be clear on, the dirty electricity filters rely on what I consider to be tried and tested technology. Earthcalm pendants, charms etc are quite different. Many experts regard their claims with suspicion and some people have said that these kinds of products have made their symptoms worse.

"Issues with dirty electricity "filters"
The behavior of devices marketed as "dirty electricity filters," which are nothing more than capacitors, when exposed to a changing waveform, is to convert the impressed Voltage to Current flow, the amount of current flow determined by its electrical capacitance value. Additionally, since no capacitor is perfect, such a conversion will add harmonics that are solely generated by the capacitor. This Current is then impressed onto the Electrical System Ground (ESG) / Neutral, which, albeit "grounded," will develop a Voltage directly proportional to the amount of Current used (whether from capacitor filters alone or other devices), due to the physics relationship described by Ohm's Law, that is now made available through every cable within a residence.
So a capacitor filter, by whatever name, will Not make your electricity cleaner, but dirtier."
Just trying to get full perspective.
Lloyd said,
Hi Eva
A few years ago I was very electrically sensitive….I studied the work of Sam Milham and Magda Havas and so it was important for me to deal with the dirty electricity in my home…I stand by what I say in the above article.

Hi Lloyd,
I'm not sure where to post this, but I have a question about Giron material. Do you have a source where to buy it by the linear sheet? We are going to wrap the motor of our IQ Air Health Pro Plus air purifier, we've just learned they give off a fair amount of EMF's due to the fancy electronics. We found LessEMF, but they sell it $44 per linear sheet, wondering if there is a more economical source? Thank you! Sarah

Hi Lloyd,
Would you happen to have any insight on the potential risks of using a wifi booster antenna? I have searched around online but cannot discover whether or not these devices (this one in particular- http://store.bearextender.com/products/bearextender-mini) pose a significant increase in radiation.
Lloyd said,
If this device is boosting your WiFi then connecting it directly to your laptop can only mean that your EMF exposures are higher but I see it can be used with a 16 foot USB extension cable – this will be the best way of reducing your exposure whilst using this device.
Paul Von said,
Hello Eva and all readers:
There are many situations wherein the electrical feed to your home or business contains many harmful high frequency artifacts. In some cases these artifacts are combined with poor power regulation and transient spiking from outside interference. When this is the case, no amount of GS filtering will yield better power factor or reliability.
I once ran into this problem in an audio sound control room setting. This was a very unique lab setting, and local line filtering was not helpful.
The cost and functionality of multiple GS filtering – such as mentioned in the above article, could quickly approach a point of diminishing performance returns, as even a modest sized home can often require as many as 20-25 units.
In this case I strongly suggest the purchase of a whole house "line conditioner". These units are often used in laboratory settings to protect delicate equipment from line surges, and/or to clean up the line input for precision measurement equipment. A properly sized line conditioner will not only correct power factor, but will greatly eliminate line distortions and high frequency 'dirt' from the entire electrical system.
I've used Sola line products for many years, and there are several other commercial companies that supply similar products. The CVS series would work fine in most household settings. If you need higher commercial output, or find you wish to optimize line current for lowest noise, the MCR line would be an excellent choice.

Lynton said,
Hi Lloyd,
Perhaps you would comment on the following?
The effects of GS filters + bad wiring: how does one measure this?
LED flat screen tv, monitor; since they don't have flourescent lights they might be safer?
LED lights that work off the mains (they probably have ac->dc converters).
Thanks for your website.
Lloyd said,
Hi Lynton
GS filters + faulty wiring can be measured with a gaussmeter (Trifield for ex.) take measurements before and after installing the filters and compare, go through your property room by room running your meter along the walls where you think there may be wires. A GS microsurge meter will tell you which devices are creating dirty electricity.
Teresa said,
Hi Lloyd,
I've obtained a Stetzer meter to measure dirty electricity, but the readings fuctuate wildly on the screen and this makes it hard to actually get a fixed "reading". The jumping numbers go from really low to just a 1 in the left hand corner (meaning over 2000). What should I interpret from this. Are the harmonics fluctuating that wildly?
Lloyd said,
Its possible these variations are caused by harmonics and transients (dirty electricity) in your electricity supply, its also possible that your GS meter is faulty. Start by unplugging everything in your home you can and what you can't unplug (dishwasher etc) make sure its not switched on. Take some readings, take readings near your electricity box and away from it, do this at different times of the day and night. If the readings are still fluctuating erratically contact the vendor with a view to sending the meter back for a replacement (some small fluctuation is normal – see my videos).
Cynthia said,
Hi Lloyd,
What about EMF's in cars..they are now built to recieve WI-FI.. ?
Thank you,
Lloyd said,
Hi Cynthia
More and more cars are being equipped with bluetooth, GPS, internet connectivity….. EMFs in cars are a particular issue because the metal structure of a car creates a "Faraday cage" effect, see http://www.electricsense.com/252/radiation-in-cars-practical-tips-on-how-to-minimize-it/
Dom said,
Hi Lloyd / Cynthia
Car EMF's, Bluetooth, GPS, internet,in any transport (cars trains planes) etc are an issue not just for the 'electro – sensitive' but for the well being of everyone.
I found some products and had really good results, they don't get rid of radiation or EMF's but they neutralize their effects.
Here's the website – bioprotectivesystems.com
PS i have no involvement in this company, but i have bought a home transformer, wifi, phone & car products.
hope this helps
Lloyd said,
Hi Dom
There are many websites selling neutralizing devices… and some people that claim they work….but there are many that say don't work and they also claim a worsening of their symptoms over time….. I fit in the latter category…. if such a solution did exist I and thousands of other electrosensitives would already be using it.
Dan said,
Is installing 1 GS filter per room enough? Or won't 1 GS filter on an electrical outlet in a certain room reduce the dirty electricity from other electrical outlets in that same room?
Does anyone know?
Lloyd Burrell said,
A GS filter in one room can reduce the GS levels in another room but be methodical in your approach….you test with a GS meter in the room in question….if readings are high you add a filter….test again….if readings are still high, you filter again and so on….installing a filter in one room may bring down readings in other nearby rooms….this depends on your electrical installation and on what devices you have in your home.
Dan said,
Thank you Lloyd !
Peter said,
One question about DE which someone (Lloyd?) may be able to answer. The Stetzer meter measures electrical activity in the wires, but tells you nothing about the effect in the environment. Given that EMF's attenuate with distance does anyone know how far away from the wires these fields are active? A crude test with an AM radio suggests that the distance is relatively short, but the research (eg from Sam Milham) suggests otherwise. Field strength within the environment does not seem to be quoted in the studies – just the GS meter readings.
Is there a reasonably priced meter for measuring AM field strength?
Tino said,
Please help with this problem that I have. After switching off the main breaker I measured with a GS meter and got around 170….with regular spiking to around a thousand!! As soon as the main switch is turned on, the level drops to around 20!!! Almost like the dirty electricity gets dissipated into the house. All sockets then test low. Do I need a filter by the main breaker?
Peter said,
Tino, I've had some strange things happen with DE.
I don't quite understand what you've done – if the main breaker is off there should be no power in the house, so how can the meter work?
There's a very good document on the Powerwatch website in the article library, about DE and how to deal with it. You may have to register but it's a free download. http://www.powerwatch.org.uk/library/getfile.asp?articleID=73&sourceID=1
In summary:
Unplug all appliances and switch off all lights, but leave circuits on. This should give you a reading of the DE coming into the house from outside.
Connect and switch on appliances one at a time, with the meter adjacent – eg on the same 2-way adapter. This will help identify any offending appliances.
Do the same with light bulbs – especially CFL's.
Positioning the filters for normal use (ie with all circuits on) seems to be more of an art than a science – I just experiment until I get minimal readings on the meter on all circuits – typically 1 or 2 filters per circuit.
I have seen the reading drop when I switch on certain appliances.I can only assume that some appliances may have a capacitive effect, and mimic the filter in some way.
If the DE is coming in from outside you could try contacting your electricity supplier. I did this when the meter reading was about 1700, and they assured me there was no fault, yet 3 days later the DE disappeared!
I hope this helps.
Tino said,
Thanks Peter. I just put the Stetzer meters contacts onto the main feed to the circuit breaker box, after the meter…which is a smart prepaid one by the way. There is power until main breaker. I concluded that its the meter communicating through the power line, its that type. Somehow when I put on breakers one at a time it 'detunes' the DE somehow…even with all appliances off!! I reckon I will put in a main filter such as designed by StevenMagee in his books.
I also will put in a filter or two in living in the house anyway….living room goes up when TV and DVD are on.
Tino said,
Might also add that my RF levels are very low by Acoustimter. I use earthing, Helios, orgonite, and twenty other things…Geomacks…I also dowse for geopathic stress….which has a similar effect on people as EmF does btw. So I know there is DE,
I can feel it. In fact I can feel when the
Stetzer meter is measuring!! So somehow the Smart meter .DE is resonating into the whole house but not registering on the Stetzer meter when breaker is on.
Magee uses CAPS up to 100000pF but EMFields and others use in the 10 microFarad range??? Stetzer filter I think are also around 20 microF. Don't quite understand….is it a frequency effect….people targetting different freq thresholds??
QTino said,
Now GS readings much higher suddenly…Thursday evening as opposed to Sunday afternoon. Hovering around 300, but still momentarily spiking to over a thousand….have to keep Stetzer meter measuring for a long time to pickup the spikes. Quite interesting.
John said,
I am concerned about 'dirty electricity' being generated from our solar panels.
How would I measure for this?
Are there filters to combat this?
Lloyd Burrell said,
Its not the solar panels themselves that create dirty electricity….its the inverters that are used to convert DC generated by the solar panels into AC. You need to take readings with a GS meter (shown above)…….if you see your readings are above 50 you need to install GS filters.
Maya said,
ref. John´s question above: if the solar panels are at the neighbour´s house roof (some 30 meters far from my home), is it worthy to buy GS meter (or any other) and take readings as well? I am not sure where he keeps that mentioned DC converter.
Lloyd Burrell said,
30 meters is no great distance…..dirty electricity can travel literally miles….its well worth testing with a GS meter.
Yash Rungta said,
Dear Llyod,
Though I knew my body was sensitive to radiation, I was living fairly normally(after taking precautions) until Solar Panels were installed on a neighbourhood building about 50-70 meters away from home. Since then my life has been pathetic. Headaches, eyeaches, earaches etc. And it keeps getting worse.
Now, what can do to I avoid this? Which GS meter should I use given that I'm in Mumbai, India? Will GS Filters help?
Riki said,
We are moving into a house that has the old ungrounded two-prong wiring, and also a smart meter installed on the back. I feel I can shield the meter from the house but now I'm concerned about the dirty electricity. Do you have any advice specifically for old ungrounded houses? Would a GS filter work on such a place?

Featured Reviews for Flea Comb for Dogs and Cats (4.5")
Really glad I ordered this by katcon11/16/2011
This little comb has helped me get rid of the fleas on my cats. I'm using it in conjuction with Frontline Plus and Sipotrol spray. It helps me find the ones that are left and is a good indicator of whether you have the problem licked. One of my cats has very dense fur and still had some fleas after repeated applications of Frontline. You have to devise a system for killing any fleas that you comb off.
flea comb by lieper12 from Nashville, TN12/07/2012
I very much like this flea comb because it doesn't involve a handle so it's easier to use and the teeth don't bend at the end with combing/ The size is comfortable in the hand and is easy enough to manipulate for small areas or combing an area such as the back. So, the product itself is terrific. Beyond that, it is far cheaper than the weighty combs. Finally, this flea comb is no easier to lose or harder to find than other flea combs.
my cats hate it! by carolyna from Davis, ca01/15/2012
Although I like the size of the comb, the teeth are not straight (came out of the package this way) and do not allow the hair to pass through. It pulls on the hair, taking clumps of it out, and hurting the cat. Getting groomed should be a pleasant experience, not painful!

Very efficient, good quality, will be very useful.

I was a little skeptical but this works great at removing ticks! Usually takes me less than a minute, no hassle and has worked every time.
THE tool for removing ticks!!! by TickOffed! from NC06/04/2010
Geez I hate ticks! With a little patience, it works every time. (Twist slowly AND pull gently, and they give up and let go!!) Often the ONLY tool that works! I've removed DOZENS of ticks (from me) over a couple of seasons with this tool, usually with the smaller one of the two-pack I bought a year ago. I plan to buy more to have ready-at-hand!
Nifty little device by Hoosierpetowner05/14/2013
I have used this little tick remover countless times with great success. Easy to slide into place on tick , give a little twist & pull off tick! Even using Revolution on the pets I still find ticks so this comes in handy to use before the ticks die from treatment.
Twisted off many!! by Diana03/25/2008
I love these two twistesr ...they are excellent in removing deer ticks...the small one tends to slide over the minute nymphs but other than that great product...I have recommended to the LDA in my area...PA Chester County....Lyme Deisease central! they recommend pulling straight up vs. twisting.
Featured Reviews for The Original TICKED OFF
Ticked Off easy to handle and see the tick by shuggie from Northern New England06/05/2012
I bought this tick remover for an elderly relative to use on her little dog. I selected it because the longer handle was easier for her to hold onto, and the white color makes it easier for her to see whether she has the scoop bowl actually under the tiny deer ticks we have here. It meets both of those needs. The thickness of the bowl makes it a little challenging to get it under a tiny tick which has fastened on tightly. For that you may need tick tweezers. This product works great on 95% of the ticks, which in New England is a lot of ticks.
It didn't work for me by Jo02/17/2012
I like the idea of the product, but the ticks where I live are normally to small for this product to work. It works if the tick is fully engorged, but not if they have just attached to the dog. I did find one product that works well: Pro-tick Remedy.
Tick remover by Jo from California01/19/2010
Great concept. I have one and it works for large ticks, but the small ones it's to big for and it slides right over the tick. If they made a small one for the 1/8 inch ticks that would be great and yes I have written them about it.

Great little pocket comb by ziva from Stockton Springs, ME06/20/2013
I was looking for a little comb to get burdocks and tangles out of my dog's fur after walks in the fields and woods. This works perfectly. Fits in your pocket and won't break like other plastic combs. Great for searching for ticks after walks, too. I highly recommend this product.
nice easy to use comb by Bella'sMom02/28/2012
the comb was comfortable to hold and comfortable for my dog to be combed with. She just came back from the groomer today so I took the comb in my pocket to the park and combed her for flea, just to be sure none came home with her. Inexpensive and simple.
Featured Reviews for The Tick Key
A Must Have! by Ouskamp04/02/2013
For some reason, my female pup and not my male seems to attract Ticks. They are disgusting! I have a Tick Key in my Doggy First Aid Kit, in my car and on my key chain (paranoid much?!). In fact, I'm writing this because I found a large tick behind her ear earlier today. I grabbed my Tick Key, slipped it over the Tick and gently pulled back and out came the Tick and my little girl didn't even flinch (she was rewarded with a tasty treat!)!!! If you have pets, this is a must have. I know it looks so simple you would think "it probably doesn't work". But believe me, I've used it several times and it works easily without discomfort to your pet. After I remove the tick I dab with hydrogen peroxide and cover the area with Aquaphor. This is also great for hikers and others who love the great outdoors! =o)

If I could give it 0 stars I would. A friend bought one at a conference for her dog after hearing so many great things from the many dogs handlers around us. A short time later, we discovered a small tick on her back [the friend, not the dog] so promptly used her new "Tick Key". The tick hadn't been there very long and was small. When I tried to use this tool, the tick wouldn't stay in the groove; the more I tried to get it to work, the tick started going deeper in her skin. Someone else with experience thought I wasn't doing it right so also tried the Tick Key. He had the exact same problem I did. In the end, I had to carefully pull it out of her and she *immediately* returned the Tick Key.

Greatest Tool for removing Ticks!!!! by DogMomMusician from PA12/10/2011
The Tick key is the greatest invention for safely removing ticks! It removes the body as well as the head and is easy enough for one person to use. In the past, I had purchased a tick removing tool that was useless! The tick would slip right out of it's grip, but the tick key's design makes it impossible for the tick to slip out. I bought one for my dogs awhile ago but just bought a second one for my husband for when he's hunting.... ticks are really bad this year so this is a must for anyone concerned about ticks.

by from 03/16/2008
This tick key is extremely easy to use, it sort of "pops" attached ticks off quickly and painlessly. Be careful using some of the old removal methods (burning with a match, using chemicals, rotating with your finger), as they supposedly can cause the tick to barf fluids back into your dog before letting go, which naturally increases the risk of causing disease.

Indispensable Tick Removal by Scouter Doug from Nicholasville, KY05/10/2013
I am so impressed with my tick keys that I came here just to let you know. If you live in tick country - it's just a matter of time before one of the nasties embeds itself into you or one of your loved ones. I've removed over 100 ticks from myself, my scouts and my dogs. I've never lost a head, comes right out and with minimal distress. Most important, this is the only way I've found to remove a tick without squeezing it (think tweezers). Squeezing is bad if you don't want the bad tick-born diseases like Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. Thia site has them for a great price - grab a few for friends - you won't be disappointed! Doug
I'm not touching any ticks! by nj from west Newbury, MA08/05/2012
I don't know how people can touch ticks. Gross! The tick key works great and I don't have to touch any ticks and they help protect the dogs from accidentally being exposed to even more bacteria than the original tick bite causes. I wanted to give them away in my dog grooming shop when they were about $3., but now that the price has gone up I won't be buying any more. Such a good product, but the manufacturer has made them overpriced and hard to find.

Windows 7 Starter
Acer netbook stuck in Windows Boot Manager and is unresponsive
I have an Acer Aspire One D270 with Windows 7 starter edition. The netbook froze and would not respond to ctrl + alt + del for the task manager, so I powered it off. Now, it goes straight to the Windows Boot Manager, and asks me to choose an OS (I only have the one), but it does not respond to enter, tab or esc keys. I have tried F2, F12, and alt + F10 also, but have not had any luck. I am sure that there is nothing wrong with the keyboard as it was working just fine before all this happened.
I cannot get into the BIOS settings.
I cannot see which drive is first on boot up. (I do have an external optical drive if needed)
I cannot get into Acer Recovery to restore it.
And I am at a loss as to what to try...

This weekly Saturday column "Ask Professor Foxy" will regularly contain sexually explicit material. This material is likely not safe for work viewing. The title of the column will include the major topic of the post, so please read the topic when deciding whether or not to read the entire column.
Dear Professor Foxy,
I am a queer feminist cis woman in my early twenties, in a long-term cohabiting relationship with a male queer partner in his early twenties. Thanks to the recession, we have had a lot of financial trouble over the past two years. Due to the criminally low hours at his day job, my partner applied to be a male escort at a small local agency. He just recently came out to me, and has only come out as "bisexual" to one or two others, and no one in his family knows. No one knows except us, and one mutual close friend, about the nature of his new job.
His clients are all male and mostly in the closet. He is very popular, mainly because of his boyish looks, his youth, and he's a bottom. He's been an escort for a couple weeks now. We are both all about sex workers' rights and are very sex-positive, so it has nothing to do with that. I am trying my best to be supportive, and he intends to be an escort until we pay a couple bills, move into a new apartment, and he can find a position elsewhere, but I get SO worried when he goes out. I'm worried about his safety, first and foremost, but also his emotional and psychological well being. The "pimp" (I'm not sure what else to call him) personally screens all his clients, and the vast majority of them are long-time regulars, but it's still illegal and largely anonymous.
These are his first same-sex experiences. He doesn't enjoy them. He puts on a brave face and insists this is just "what he has to do right now to help provide for us" but he is clearly scared, and it seems to be negatively affecting his view of his sexuality. He refuses to open up about the negative feelings–he just talks about how he doesn't feel safe and he gets nervous before an appointment. I don't want him to feel negatively about himself because of the social stigmas surrounding bisexual men and/or sex workers. But whenever I open up about my anxieties regarding his job, it really upsets him. How can I help support him but also be honest about my fear? And how can I open up a dialogue about his feelings regarding his sexuality?
Please help,
Anxious Partner
Hi Anxious -
Who do you have to talk to about this? A friend you can trust, a therapist? You need someone who can listen to your concerns and help you as they come up.
I am glad you have spoken to him about your fears, but if he is not able to talk about them you need to respect his desire or inability to talk about how he is feeling. Let him know you are here when/if he needs to talk and give him space to work it out as well. It also seems like he should find someone who is employed in a similar profession to talk out his concerns with. Sometimes the only person you can talk to is one doing a similar job or going through the same experience. Support groups exist on the internet.
Are there other jobs he could do? Perhaps phone sex or dancing? Something that is still in the sex industry, but involves less intimate contact and to a certain extent more safety.
If he needs to stay in the escort business, can he call you before and after? Give you his location and if you do not hear from in a set amount of time, you call the police or have a friend that will go over with you. How can you work to make both of you feel safer.
This is a difficult situation and an ongoing process. You both need an outside outlet to work this out. You need to be gentle with yourself and with him.

Why do advice columnists always recommend therapists? I doubt a couple who is taking on sex work to pay the bills can afford a therapist.
Although my opinion is also based on not being dirt poor, which is that I don't think its worth it for him to continue this job if its making him feel that bad. How urgent is it really that you pay these bills right now? I'd concentrate on looking for other work, even if it is other sex work that's a little bit safer. And its a good idea to have a standing phone call that you're waiting for, but I'm not sure calling the police would make him feel any safer if his job is illegal. Maybe there's someone else who can be enlisted to check on him after, or you can go with some friends to back you up.
The hard thing to do is care for your friend and be there for him, but you have to realize that you cannot carry his baggage for him.
That can be a hard path to walk. I think you know all of this… but still.
I can't imagine what a difficult situation this is. No matter how sex-positive you both are, there seems to be a certain lack of choice: your boyfriend had to start this job out of economic hardship, and it seems that he wouldn't have done this job otherwise. I really, really apologize for the difficulties you all are having right now. I wish I could do more.
I've always heard that there are low-cost or free therapy/counseling for people who qualify in some communities. Does anyone know if that's true?
I think Professor Foxy was doing the right thing in recommending therapy. This sounds like a complex, sensitive problem that a quick piece of advice won't fix. In fact, I remember people getting upset when Professor Foxy tackled other complex problems; they suggested that she should recommend therapy as she might not be qualified to give advice in some situations. Therapy is empowering; therapists help their patients find their own answers and solutions.
That said, the issue of cost is very real. I know. There are many wonderful Community Mental Health organizations across the country. Finding low-cost or free therapy is more possible than people tend to think.
Best of luck, Anxious Partner. My thoughts are with you.
While that is generally true. It probably wouldn't hurt to ask around for a therapist that does pro bono work. From what I understand from my psychology graduate student friends, therapists do a certain amount of pro bono work. I'm not sure but I think they might be required to. At the same time, results from therapy can take time and it sounds like he is in a crisis situation (one where he feels he MUST do this right now, even though he feels unsafe).
Anyway, this sounds like a difficult situation and I wish Anxious partner and her friend the best of luck.
Just an FYI:
Therapy doesn't have to be expensive. A lot of therapists offer sliding scale rates and there are some organizations that provide therapy for free. As PF said, there are internet support groups and YMCA and YWCA groups in the area might have programs available at reduced rates. You might have to do a lot of asking around to find them, but it could be worth it.
There ARE mental health options that aren't expensive, it's just that they can't advertise because they need to use their money to continue to provide help.
True, the cost is a huge issue. . .but most states have sliding scale or free therapy available for people in dire financial circumstances. Of course, these agencies are in demand and afford less choice than one would have armed with great insurance or a big fat wallet, but they ARE an option for some people.
I agree with you and Emily.
A lot of clinics and individual therapists offer a sliding scale for their fees. If your income is low and your debt is high, you could be able to find a therapist who will see you for as little as $5-10 per week. And if you're using a method to pay the bills which causes so much emotional distress, then a therapist seems like a worthwhile expense along your way.
Having thought about it a bit more, there are some situations where someone could be broke and still have access to a therapist– for instance, a lot of college campuses have counseling services for free for students. But since this letter makes it so obvious they are broke, I would have at least mentioned the issue of cost when recommending a therapist, for instance recommending looking for student services or pro bono work. Just saying "find a therapist" is so far out of the realm of possibility for most people…
I have no idea where the original poster lives, or what resources might be available in her area. In Boston, the Women's Lunch Place offers a wide range of services to poor and homeless women (including food, counseling, medical care, and help applying for benefits that may be confusing.) If she's in the area, she can ask them for help. Fenway Community Health is another Boston resource that could help both her and her partner, when they don't have much money. They are super-understanding about both poverty and non-mainstream sexual matters.
The Women's Lunch Place does a lot of good. If some of the people here can afford to give them a bit of money, they could really use it. http://www.womenslunchplace.org/
And it might be useful to mention similar organizations in other big cities, if you know of them.
This really seems like a very difficult situation, and I'm truly sorry it's so difficult. For resources, and for therapists that understand the sex industry and who are sex-positive and have worked with sex workers before, I really, truly recommend contacting $pread, the magazine by and about the sex industry. I've dabbled in the sex worker advocacy scene, and met some wonderful therapists – $pread would probably be able to recommend some (I've mislaid their contact info at the moment unfortunately). Therapy and support can also come in the form of a caring, informed, progressive community. Also google urban justice and find their sex worker project, it's a great organization and they will be able to point you in the right direction in terms of what means of support there are out there. I don't know if the OP is located in a major city, but SWOP has some very good local chapters in NYC, SF and Chicago. Best of luck, I hope some of this can be useful.
In that case they may want to check out some cheap, grassroots counseling options like recreational counseling, co-counseling international, or other similar organizations. Such folk aren't interested in money, just about the well-being of one another, and are also very open minded about the socially taboo, like gay male sex work.
I signed up to comment. I'm a long-time reader, but have been hesitant to comment for various reasons.
I've been in a similar situation, but in the reverse. I just wanted to say that I think more important than finding a therapist is finding a community of sex workers. If your partner has people in his industry to talk to about his feelings, it will be a lot more beneficial than you talking to a therapist, in my experience. Because of the stigma of sex work, not having fellow sex workers to talk to can be really, really hard. Even having a loving, sex-positive, open partner can't replace that community. A community can also help him learn how to be (and feel) safer on the job.
There are some websites (Working Heart, for one) specifically for partners of sex workers. I think, again, based in my experiences, it's really important in talking to him to explicitly separate your concerns about his emotional health from any judgment about his job. Even when you are a totally supportive partner, because of stigma, any criticism can sound like judgment. Talk about it like any other job (even though really, it's not).
The best thing any partner ever did for me was to continue to love me and support me holistically. Doing sex work is just one part of who your partner is, not everything. Whether or not he continues, changes jobs, or whatever else won't change how you feel about him, whether or not you pay the bills. That's the number one thing he needs to know, I think.
Yes, this is true. I was able to benefit from very cheap counseling during a family crisis. There are non-profits in some communities that can offer such services. Unfortunately, not everyone has a positive experience with these counselors. I've had friends that have complained about the counseling services offered by the University which tend to be low cost to students.
Also, The organization I was helped by was not through a university.
This isn't always true. I speak as someone who received low cost counseling during a family crisis and economic hardship. It may be worth it to research various options offered by non-profits and to contact counselors individually to find out if they offer a sliding scale based on income. Also, counselors (master's degree) tend to be cheaper than psychologists (PhD). Some non-profits offer group therapy specific to certain problems which is often low cost and sometimes free.

New Stan Lee Video Game (Also Starring The Amazing Spider-Man)
- Written by Jude Terror on Wednesday, June 20 2012 and posted in News with Benefits
Stan Lee will be a playable character in the upcoming Amazing Spider-Man video game.
Sure, the game will also feature Spider-Man, but really, who would want to play as boring old Peter Parker when they can be Stan "The Fucking Man" Lee instead? Well, maybe ThanosCopter, but he's a jerk.
Lee will be slinging webs, kicking ass, and swinging through the streets on X-Box 360 and Playstation 3 on June 28th. Here's a video where Stan talks about the experience, complete with action clips from the game:

Gwyneth Paltrow is comparing meaningless Internet insults to the ravages of war -- real war -- claiming she's been dehumanized by widespread Internet trash-talking ... the same way a real-life soldier is dehumanized by blood, guts, bullets, night terrors, watching his friends die, and PTSD.
Shortly before her appearance at the Code tech conference this week, Paltrow said, "You come across [comments] about yourself and about your friends, and it's a very dehumanizing thing. It's almost like how, in war, you go through this bloody, dehumanizing thing, and then something is defined out of it."
Paltrow -- whose most recent life struggle was probably a scuffed nail -- added, "My hope is, as we get out of it, we'll reach the next level of conscience."
It's basically like that empty statement Tom Cruise made comparing acting to war ... minus all the physical exertion.
Paltrow added, "It's taken me a long time to get to the point where I can see these things and not take it as a personal affront and a hurt. I see myself as a chalkboard or a whiteboard or a screen, and someone is just putting up their own projection on it."
Cindy McCain -- the wife of John McCain (an actual veteran) -- has already torn Paltrow to shreds on Twitter, writing, "Gweneth Paltrow [sic] is a joke ... Perhaps Gweneth Paltrow should go out on patrol with some soldiers. Kind of like a Red Carpet in her mind I guess!"
And other veterans agree -- a rep for Veterans for Peace tells TMZ, "She doesn't understand what it means to be in real danger ... Not someone talking to you on the Internet, but actually having bullets shot at you."
The rep adds, "I've gone to war and had that kind of fear. She's not in a situation where she can compare the two. She hasn't had to fear for her life and not know whether she'd make it home."
This poor ignorant woman. I'm shocked at how stupid and out of touch famous people can be. Never again will I waste my time watching one of her movies.
so is she reading my comment just now?
Boo Hoo ...this is the price of fame. Get over it. And suck it up.
nobody cares about her goop ass
So she used the term war. That's not enough to elicit a response from John McCain's daughter or anyone else. It does stink to be attacked on the internet until you grow a thick skin toward it. That takes time. I understood what she was saying and don't see the need to be petty about her choice of words.
She needs to just stop talking. Every time she speaks, people are reminded of why they can't stand her.
She's about as clueless as they come.
She may be ignorant but I doubt she's as bad as these gossip people make her out to me. Being an out of touch idiot doesn't make you a bad person. She just doesn't have amy perspective other than extreme privilege.
Aw, poor thin skinned little princess. Cry me a river ugly skank
She's all about her. No surprise.
Face it. If you don't have anything better to do than whine about what Gwyneth whatever says about something, your life is a joke. So, you're just jealous of hers. And, you are DESPERATE for something to whine about.
She just keeps digging herself a bigger and bigger hole. You'd think she would have learned after the working mom remark. How disrespectful to our troops. Just let her keep talking. She needs no help from anyone else to sound like a complete a s s hole. Seriously Gwenyth go visit Arlington National. Cemetary. Or some V.A. Hospital. How can one person be such a dolt and not even know it.
racist white people need to get off the internet
Maybe just stop spewing such bs out of your mouth. That would help. Chill out and go on another juice cleanse.
She's just a rich kid that never worked a day in her life. The irony is that most of the people around here that hate on her don't work either. HILARIOUS.

Tea with Hezbollah
- Thursday, February 18, 2010
The trip was off. I felt jovial! I was liberated from the fear that had nagged at me for many months as Carl slowly but surely put together this unprecedented trip.
Honestly, I never really thought he'd pull it off. Without fail, my mention of the trip to publishers or people of influence would garner the same coy smile. "Yeah, good luck with that." Who'd ever heard of such a thing? I mean, it's one thing to sit in a coffee shop in downtown Denver and dream about the ultimate trip to the most dangerous parts of the world, but the list of people whom Carl wanted to meet amounted to a delusional dream. Or a nightmare, depending on your perspective.
Did I say delusional? Add impossible to that. No one from the State Department could get the meetings Carl was going after. In fact, no one but Carl Medearis could land them, but more on that later.
As the months stretched into a year and the appointments began falling into place, I tried to back out a dozen times. Finally, two days before we were scheduled to leave, God Himself had reached down and mercifully rescued me from almost certain death. Not to mention an overpriced luggage purchase.
Being the puppy in tow of the great mastiff, I put on a brave face. "So, what do we do?" I asked.
"Well, we wait and see."
"Wait for what?"
"For things on the ground to change. Could all be fine tomorrow."
I'm here to tell you that nothing was fine tomorrow. I'm still not sure what—besides foolishness—put me on a flight from Denver to Cairo two days later.
And I'm even less sure of what absurd notions could possibly have persuaded me to board the first flight into Beirut four days later, following a week's upheaval that had sent souls far braver than me either running for cover or to their graves.
Yet here I was, cranking open the vent over my head to dry the ribbons of sweat seeping from my forehead, never mind that the cabin was already freezing. Samir Kreidie, the wealthy Muslim businessman in Saudi Arabia who'd helped to set up the trip, was returning to Beirut with us. Indeed, without his help, the trip would have been impossible—many of the muftis and clerics we would meet agreed to do so only because of his unshakable reputation as a powerhouse of reconciliation.
But Samir himself, only days earlier, had insisted the trip was now far too dangerous.
Such is the Middle Eastern mind-set. I suppose when you spend your whole life dodging bullets, the threat of a sniper on the corner doesn't keep you housebound for long. Better to run rather than walk, naturally, but you can't let dissenters with machine guns make you a prisoner in your own house.
On the bright side, Carl, Samir, and I had virtually the whole jet to ourselves. It turns out that the owners of Middle East Airlines know Samir well. We'd canceled our flights from Saudi Arabia to Beirut a few days earlier on my urging, during a time when all three of us possessed our full share of good sense. Rebooking would normally have been impossible at a time like this, but a single call from Samir and we were on. Such is the power of a man who spends the day talking to heads of state on his flip phone.
And business class to boot. Wonderful. The staff was excellent, as was the food. It was certainly better than any service I'd experienced in the United States. The stewardesses all knew Samir—no surprise there.
But the essential facts remained: One, Beirut was a city besieged by the Hezbollah. Two, we were on the first flight in after a week's closure. Three, according to reports, anywhere from dozens to hundreds had been killed in fighting around the city, and the Lebanese army controlled the streets only by lining them with tanks and machine-gun placements.
Four . . . I mean, please. Anything could happen. Anything.
Sometimes I feel like hugging Carl and slapping him on the back. The kind of guy who would befriend a starving grizzly bear, he is loved by all, and I do mean all. Other times I feel more like locking him in the bathroom and making a run for it. Both his love and his bravery are greater than mine.

My friend Kevin and I are both Ford ST owners – Kev's got a Focus ST and I've got a Fiesta ST. We recently found out about the free ST Octane Academy at Ford Racing School, where we'd get the chance to drive a Focus ST and Fiesta ST on a real race track, get professional instruction and learn some cool stunt driving techniques.The catch? It's in Utah- and how you get there and where you stay is up to you. Kevin and I decided we'd make a roadtrip of it, making use of the Fiesta ST's lighter weight and slightly better fuel economy.
It was a great decision. The mountains around Park City and Tooele where the track is were snowcapped and framed by rolling green meadows below, more like the Alps than something you'd think of as being right here in the usa. We got a neat behind the scenes look at Ken Block's Hoonigan Racing Headquarters, the place where his cars and projects are built and housed on Friday Night and a light dinner, where the staff prepped us for the next day. We showed up about 40 minutes early for ST Octane Academy at Miller Motorsports Park.
By arriving early, we got to check out the Museum right there at mmp – it's an amazing car collection of some incredible history-making Ford and Shelby racecars, including one of every variant of the legendary Ford GT40. The next moring, my fellow ST owners and I donned race suits and sat down to get schooled in the classroom. The instructors recapped the ground rules, the track layout and some basic safety, and then we were out to the cars. We were taught forward 90* & 180* handbrake turns in Focus STs, then learned how to pull reverse 180*s in Fiesta STs.Then we moved on to an outrigger-equipped Ford 500 awd for some skid pad exercises to learn better car control in understeer and oversteer situations in a safe, low speed environment.Later we got the chance to take the Focus ST and Fiesta ST out onto mmp's East Track for a Lead-Follow session with a driving instructor. By following the instructor, you learn the "line" of the racetrack. Check out the video we shot below! Then we were given the choice of Focus or Fiesta – an instructor jumped into the car with us for 1-1 driving instruction on-track. I became a much faster driver as a result. Then we got the chance to hot-lap with the cars, driving solo. It was amazing to race "my" car in such a picturesque setting. It was like living a video game. We ended the day with timed competition on the Urban X course. Kevin took home 2nd place. All in all we highly recommend that you attend Ford ST Octane Academy while you've got the chance! -Nick Register now for Octane Academy!
