Notable atheist intellectual Richard Dawkins recently retweeted a post for his 756,000+ followers featuring a recently released anti-evolution film.
Last week, Dawkins retweeted a post that included a video by Ray Comfort titled "Richard Dawkins' Dirty Little Secret" and a link to a Facebook group for the film "Evolution vs. God."
"'Dawkins will have a cow.' http://bit.ly/12CSGb4 Fascinated to know what that means. Has the Banana Man finally over-reached himself?" tweeted Dawkins after posting the link. more >>
Local news outlets in Muncie, Ind., are reporting that Ball State University has hired an astronomy professor who has previously been linked to supporting the idea of intelligent design, or the theory that the universe and all life was designed by an intelligent entity.
This apparent hire proves controversial for the research university, as it is currently investigating Eric Hedin, an assistant physics professor from the same department at the school, who was accused in May by the Freedom From Religion Foundation of teaching intelligent design in his "Boundaries of Science" honors class.
The Star Press, a local newspaper in Indiana, reported recently that BSU hired former Iowa State University professor Guillermo Gonzalez to teach introductory astronomy classes at the school beginning in August. more >>
A petition posted on a White House website has called for the ban of intelligent design and creation science from schools.
Begun by a poster identified as "A.J." of Vienna, Va., the petition demands that the Obama administration "ban the teachings of these conjectures that contradict Evolution."
"Since Darwin's groundbreaking theory of Evolution by Natural Selection, scientists all around the world have found monumental amounts of evidence in favor of the theory, now treated as scientific fact by 99.9% of all scientists," reads the petition in part. more >>
A controversy sparked by critical comments made by the assistant manager of the Cincinnati Museum Center against Ken Ham's Creation Museum has been resolved following further communication.
"We've become aware that a staff member recently posted personal comments on a Cincinnati.com story, but those comments were his personal opinions and not those of Museum Center," said Elizabeth Pierce, vice president of marketing communications for the Cincinnati Museum Center, according to Cincinnati.com. A joint statement by the two museums on Monday also noted that representatives have met and resolved the issue.
Kurt Percy, an assistant manager at the Cincinnati Museum Center, stirred up tensions when he posted comments under a recent article about the Creation Museum arguing that it is "not a museum," and asking people to stop referring to it as such. more >>
An Indiana physics professor who has been accused of pushing a religious agenda in his coursework is awaiting a decision from Ball State University officials.
Eric Hedin, assistant professor at BSU's Physics and Astronomy Department, garnered controversy over teaching a course known as "The Boundaries of Science," which included works advocating and critiquing intelligent design.
While Ball State agreed to investigate Hedin back in mid-May, they have yet to reach a decision as to whether or not he should have been allowed to teach a course that included literature about intelligent design. more >>
Members of Louisiana's House Education Committee voted on Wednesday to keep the Balanced Treatment for Creation-Science and Evolution-Science Act, a 1981 law which allows teachers to give equal weight to the teachings of creationism and evolutionary science in the classroom.
The law, which the Supreme Court deemed unconstitutional in 1987 in the case Edwards v. Aguillard, ruling that it violates First Amendment rights, has remained on state statutes since its drafting in 1981.
The text of the law states that "balanced treatment" of creationism and evolutionary theory entails "providing whatever information and instruction in both creation and evolution models the classroom teacher determines is necessary and appropriate to provide insight into both theories in view of the textbooks and other instructional materials available for use in his classroom." more >>

Blue Bomber Report Record: 7–11–0
Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
LaPo slips noose -- for now
Big win buys coach breathing room, but season's far from done
Paul LAPOLICE will stand in front of his team on Monday morning with a win in his pocket and that's a helluva lot better than being a penniless 0-5 football coach.
A loss Thursday night and LaPolice may have found himself on the edge of a coaching abyss with a fall to rock-bottom only a misstep away.
Related Items
Instead, LaPolice has a little more leash and room to operate and coach like a man trying to win games and not just avoid losses. There's a big difference between those two things.
The third-year coach has restored his authority. The whispers were starting to rise this week. Suggestions he was close to losing the room and, worse, the faith of those who control his employment.
The Bombers as an organization are in a terrible spot what with all this stadium silliness and those with the power to cover their own asses may have begun to see LaPolice as a convenient scapegoat.
Those days aren't over completely for LaPolice but they are on hold for the time being.
LaPolice drove home on Thursday night with a win to savour and he should.
He's had the most difficult job of any coach in the CFL to date this season and while he's made his mistakes, the slipshod handiwork of others greatly contributed to his troubles.
The deck was stacked against LaPolice by atrocious decision-making above his head. The ill-advised gamble, and really that is being incredibly generous, to declare last season the final one at Canad Inns Stadium and petition the league for a schedule that opened with four straight on the road kicked the coach right where it counts.
LaPolice said all the right things but going 0-4 to being the season was a distinct possibility. Injuries and GM Joe Mack's decisions to rid the roster of much of its experience added to LaPo's stress.
Getting a win and ending a four-game slide begins the dawn of positive days for LaPolice and his staff. They can begin work on a game plan for the Montreal Alouettes with the immediate edge of having the game scheduled for right here in Winnipeg.
The reprieve is not a season pass, however, and if the Bombers slip to 1-5 with a loss against Montreal, the howling will begin again.
It's just going to be one of those seasons for the coach. He's in a hole and until he can climb out of it he's going to be on clock in the minds of many.
Winning is the only salvation. LaPolice knows this and must live under the burden of it.
So far he's displayed an outward look of calm and even grace.
LaPolice has proven this season he's learned a lot about the big-picture aspect of coaching a pro football team.
Good for him. He's going to need every little scrap of coaching he can muster.
Enjoy the week, coach. You won your last game. That's always a good thing.

Can you imagine how this management team will be verbally attacked and insulted on the next conference call ? I can't wait...
no one bothers to call them on conference calls...the last one i listened to...ceo just read the statement they release on yahoo and asked if there were any questions and there was just dead air on the line for 45 seconds and that was the end of the conf. call
3rd 1/4 had guy asking questions. I forget what firm. Not very helpful.Probably a shill.
By whom??? they dont take calls.. and the ceo talks like his jacking off while reading the financials.
They do take calls. However; You are correct about management team that presents. Horrific to think these are the guys that are smarter then eveyone else.
More likely they'll be petted by the crooks that get in for nothing. Can't wait til the Bushies are gone and the SEC gets it's balls back.

The controversial cyber bill passed the House on a 288-127 vote. The Senate blocked last year's version of the bill, and may do so again.
The controversial Cybersecurity Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act passed April 18 in the House by a margin of 288-127, joining three other cybersecurity bills that will move forward for Senate consideration.
CISPA passed the House last year as well, but died in the Senate amid privacy and civil liberties concerns as well as a White House veto threat. The latest vote drew praise from information-sharing advocates but, as in the past, ignited a firestorm of criticism as well.
"I am very proud that so many of my colleagues were able to look past the distortions and fear-mongering about this bill, and see it for what it really is -- a very narrow and focused authority to share cybersecurity threat information to keep America safe," said Rep. Mike Rogers, (R-Mich.), who co-sponsored the bill. "I look forward to working with my Senate colleagues to get cyber threat information sharing legislation passed into law this year."
Some parties -- IT trade groups, Capitol Hill backers of the legislation -- applauded CISPA's passage, characterizing it as a step toward comprehensive cybersecurity legislation. In particular, the bill's measures addressing information-sharing between private companies and the government garnered praise.
"Early detection and notification of cybersecurity threats is the most critical component of preventing and mitigating attacks as well as increasing security across the board," said Ken Wasch, president of the Software and Information Industry Association. "CISPA creates the necessary flexibility for businesses to share security information without fear of legal or regulatory liability."
However, other organizations voiced concerns over privacy and civil liberties threats the bill could pose by allowing companies, including Internet service providers, to furnish the government with information on citizens' online activities.
"CISPA is an extreme proposal that allows companies that hold our very sensitive information to share it with any company or government entity they choose, even directly with military agencies like the [National Security Agency], without first stripping out personally identifiable information," said Michelle Richardson, a legislative counsel at the ACLU's Washington Legislative Office. "We will work with Congress to make sure that the next version of information sharing legislation unequivocally resolves this issue, as well as tightens immunity provisions and protects personal information. Cybersecurity can be done without sacrificing Americans' privacy online."
According to reports, work is now under way in the Senate to draft a cybersecurity bill.

I have a Citra Pale Ale kit. The instructions list the 'Equipment Required' and it specifically says (not Aluminum) for the Boil Pot. This will be my 6th kit and I've never seen the instructions say 'not aluminum'. Does this have anything to do with the Citra hops?
No, ignore it. I use an aluminum brew pot, they are fine.

Just ignore it, an aluminum pot works fine. I use an aluminum pot for both my HLT and boil kettle.
They want you to buy a shiney expensive SS pot. Just like the say ferment for a week... so you'll buy more product faster.
Is there anything out of the ordinary in the kit, i.e. fruit?
Is there a cleaner included like one-step or oxyclean? You can't use these on aluminum.
Thanks for the input
Is this the kit from AHS? If so, please let me know how it turns out.
Yes. Citra hops eat through aluminum instantaneously. Buy a 200 pot and all your worries will be a thing of the past.
Seriously. You have nothing to worry about. And you can use oxyclean/onestep on aluminum.
Thanks Everyone - will be brewing this week!
Nothing unusual in the kit; grains, all citra hops, LME/DME, yeast. This is my first time using Citra so that's why I thought it might have had something to do with it...
Kit is from Cap n Cork in SE Michigan.
Last kit, after this I'm moving to all grain - BIAB : )

activating DNS on Windows 8 is the same as Windows 7 , I did it the hard way by opening Control Panel, under Network and Internet I choose view network status and tasks, change adapter settings, right click wired Ethernet connections then properties,click internet protocol v.4 then properties to add 18.104.22.168 and 22.214.171.124 Microsoft made it hard this time they done away with the start menu and locating programs and accessing them even notepad or wordpad I even had to create a shortcut for the control panel, I am not sure but I think Microsoft is going to come out with a keyboard to access their programs that were in accessories.There is pop up before logon to choose from different apps, however I do not think most people are going to like win 8 before entering your password to login you have to hit either the enter button or spacebar on the keyboard.

Reba McEntire Gives Sneak Peek at New Duet With Jennifer Nettles [Listen]
Reba McEntire is getting ready for the release of a new studio album, and she's sharing a very special new track with fans.
Reba McEntire is getting ready for the release of a new studio album, and she's sharing a very special new track with fans.
Kristian Bush shot to fame in Sugarland, but before he was famous, he played in another duo that most fans don't know about.
The members of Sugarland, Live Nation and other defendants have announced a settlement with the victims of a deadly stage collapse that took place at the Indiana State Fair in 2011.
Jennifer Nettles just landed a great new gig. The Sugarland singer and solo star will take on Broadway in February, starring in 'Chicago the Musical.'
The Doobie Brothers hosted a party from the stage at the 2014 CMA Awards with two lively performances of their classics 'Listen to the Music' and 'Takin' It to the Streets,' featuring Hillary Scott of Lady Antebellum, Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland, and Hunter Hayes.
Something wonderful happens to a man when he is loved by a woman. Something that can't be undone. We can't un-feel that feeling. It never goes away ... even if she does.
It's Music Monday! Each week I share something I am currently listening to and think you might enjoy!
Hello! My name is Kristian Bush. I'm the guy in the hat from Sugarland. Some of you might have heard me sing. Most of you probably haven't. I'm familiar when I'm on a stage next to my Sugarland partner, Jennifer, but some of you might not recognize me in the carpool line, or when I sit next to you on a plane. If we haven't met yet, now's as good of a time as any. Hi!
Kristian Bush is working on his own solo album, but his work with Jennifer Nettles as part of the award-winning duo Sugarland is never far from his mind. The singer-songwriter, who co-wrote most of the songs on their four studio albums, reveals that many of the tunes told one continuous story.
Sugarland continue to fight off rumors of a breakup, as they have been since announcing their solo ventures. Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush maintain they're not broken up as a duo, but when asked about a future tour together, they had very different answers.

Hexagram of the Day
61: Centering in Truth
Truth involves establishing an aware relationship between your inner core and the circumstances in your life. Centering in truth involves the ability to perceive a fundamental wisdom, reflected within yourself and the people you know.
Truth is transformed into power when you dissolve prejudice and make yourself receptive to the world as it really is. Truth's power can be a remarkable force indeed — yet is rarer than generally imagined. It can be maintained only by cultivating a genuine openness to things as they are — a willingness to see, rather than merely look.
Whenever your inner life is clouded, your influence in the world is under a shadow. If you are fearful, you will be attacked; if you cloak genuine mysteries in dogma, opportunities for new insight will be lost. If you vacillate in upholding your principles, you will be tested. Yet, when you are firm and strong, the power of truth can break through even the most stubborn minds.
In any debate, the power to perceive the truth in the other side's argument is essential to achieving success. It is possible to influence even the most difficult people, or improve the most difficult circumstance, through the power of universal truth — for unvarnished truth is something to which all things naturally respond. Get in touch with the part of yourself that is aware of this universal force. Cultivate this inner resource, and you will become adept at using it to bond with others to support a common purpose.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used as credit towards that service with that business for an additional three months.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher as credit towards a bungy jump, for another three months.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Any awkward moments sketching out in the open world?
Sorry if a similar thread was already posted. Anyways, I wanted to know if any of you guys ever had any awkward moments sketching people in public. Did anyone ever catch you and get mad? Or did they appear freaked out? I don't think it's happened to me yet.
I've found a few people that have noticed, and I think one looked point blank at me, and I kind of just lightly smiled back and then diverted my eyes elsewhere and put my sketchbook down. When the person stopped looking at me, I picked up my materials and started drawing them again haha."And you will shed tears of scarlet."

Little girl: Mommy, what is that boy doing?
Mom: He's just doing what an artist does.
Then the entire family stops to stare at me suddenly while I slowly closed my sketchbook as if nothing happened. I'm such a wuss.

Once when I went out to do some practice drawing people, some old lady came up to me and asked for spare change. I told her I didn't have any and she looked kinda mad when she walked away. After that she started talking to and bothering anyone she saw me trying to draw.

Took a drawing trip to a zoo with the fiancee. Of course we went on a day with TONS of ankle-biters with a school group. I didn't mind so much them being curious and asking to see...it was the fact that they have NO sense of personal space. Not only was I fending off kids running headlong into our asses and crotches, but hardback sketchbooks HURT when ya smack into the corners!
The adults were ultimately the annoying ones. They think 'cause you're drawing, that means it's okay to converse. Not so much when you are drawing a MOVING ANIMAL and need to concentrate. Please don't tell me about your failed art career, your kid's amazing ability or the following...
"It's faster if you take a picture! HURHUR." Or conversely, when I do stop to take reference, "That's CHEATING! HURHUR." No, I'm not laughing. I've heard those two lines from old men ALL DAY.

I used to spend many hours sketching in public, cant really remember any bad, or overly awkward experiences, but I have had lots of good experiences with people. One place I would draw, was sitting on the steps of a church in central Melbourne, diagonally opposite the church is what is more or less the central train station of the city, and across the road is most likely the most famous pub in the city, "Young and Jacksons". for years, an old man would sit in a doorway of a disused door and slur abuse at all the pedestrians. It could be quite confronting if he singled you out, and im sure if any one has spent time in Melbourne Australia years ago, you would know who I am speaking about. On one occasion I sketched him as he stumbled across the road from the Pub towards the church where i was sitting. Several days later I was sitting at the church, and the same man came and sat close to me, he had a terrible cold, and was coughing badly. As he seemed to be sober, I began a conversation with him and showed him the drawing I had made of him several days earlier, he laughed and laughed. We spoke for quite some time, and I was surprised that, when sober, he was really quite a nice man.

The only thing I have to say is never stop what you are doing. If someone notices you sketching smile, nod your head and keep going. If they approach you keep on keepin on. What is the worst that will happen? They'll tell you to stop, ohhhhhhhh nooooooooo. Like that hasn't happend before.

I was sketching in a shopping mall (completing a public-draw assignment for my 2nd year life-drawing class) and a security guard approached me and explained that I wasn't allowed to draw the architecture because it was copyrighted and that she "knew a thing or two about the law."
She asked me to go back and inform my teachers that the shopping mall architecture was copy-righted and the students were not 'legally' allowed to draw it.

Whenever I'm drawing in class (academic classes are really just for life drawing opportunities) and the person finds out I'm drawing them they can't help but continuously watch what I'm doing to the point that I have to stop and try to move on to someone else... but at that point there is no point to draw anyone because of the attention
Not really awkward, but you all have to remember those days

I don't have any really awkward public drawing experiences...I've had the people come up and ask to see, start conversations, etc. etc. (which I have to agree - conversations are very distracting).
I have to say though - that catching that one really good moment while drawing is something that gives me a bit of pleasure (my favorite is still of this guy, probably in his early 40s and a little rough around the edges, sleeping on a couch with his baby sleeping on his chest - his hat sitting down on his legs - the guy looked so 'gruff' yet at the same time so peaceful - very interesting dichotomy of a rough old life and a new one just beginning). I've had other good moments that I've caught, but none have stuck with me like that one.
Basically, if you're conscious about where and who you're drawing - the good seems to outweigh the bad imo.

I think I related this in another life drawing thread? I was sitting in the corner at a Dub Step night in SF drawing the people dancing and a thugged out (though in a well dressed way) dude came up and started giving me compliments and asked that I draw him. He then posed very, what I'll describe as "thug life", style for me. This happened two more times (one of them approached me so stone faced I thought I was about to get my ass kicked) before I quietly picked up my book and jacket and moved to another part of the club. It was fun though, just started to feel a little weird.

My favorite place to draw out in public is the mall. I'll set up in the food court, grab some food or a drink, and just draw whatever. It's such a wide mix of people. Sometimes I'll draw the impression of people, either gesture drawings, or maybe just an interesting element that caught my eye. Sometimes I'll just draw whatever comes to mind and largely ignore everyone there. I don't think I've had many people notice that they were being sketched, since it's busy and they are usually more concerned with eating. Other people have noticed and asked to see the sketchbook, which for some reason often leads to asking if I tattoo -which could be my appearance, or possibly it's just the most accessible form of artist people are familiar with these days.
So far

Haven't had any awkward moments drawing people, but when I'm drawing aircraft, I always get the "why not just take a picture?" comment and stuff like "no no no, that's not perfect, I don't think you're looking at it right" all the time.

Most unusual happening for me was at a college football game. I was sketching a black girl sitting a row away from me (really pretty girl) and I finished a fairly decent image of her. Around half time I think a friend of hers walked past me and noticed my drawing. Here where it gets weird, she goes and tells the girl i was drawing and the girl gets furious. She comes up to me flailing her arms, waving her finger and ranting about the whole thing. She kept saying how I should pay her to use her face or something. I don't know, i was with my girlfriend (who was the one who wanted to see the game) and didn't want trouble.
So i signed the sketch, ripped it out of my book and gave it to the girl. Her mood did a 180 at that point and she was pretty happy to be given it.
Weird moment.

not a 'weird' experience really, but a year or two ago on a camping trip i was sitting by the water drawing, and a guy sat down beside me and we started talking. he was visiting from the bronx or something (i'm in canada), he liked my drawing and i just ended up giving it to him once i was finished. later i met him again on the beach and he taught me how to kickbox.

The only odd thing that happens to me on occasion is getting hit-on by women who want me to draw them. It's crazy...you sit in a corner by yourself, mind your own business with a sketch book and the whole world suddenly will notice you.
Usually, I get a few beers out of it and some phone numbers. Easiest way to meet people. ; )

his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he

When I was stationed in Korea, I was on the train from Seoul (check out the Insadong District while you are there, great place for art supplies), and three Korean teenagers were taking cell phone pictures of my buddy and I and giggling. Since I didn't have a camera, I pulled out my handy sketch book that I'd bought that day in Seoul and started drawing the cameraman and his buddies... Needless to say, it wasn't awkward to me so much as it was for them. They took a picture of the page and seemed to enjoy the sketch.

Dave - that same thing has happened to me a lot too. Seems like thugged out guys love having their portraits drawn
San Francisco is such a great place to draw. People are super open, or have no sense of personal space, whichever way you want to look at it, so I often get approached and watched, or asked for a portrait. More often than not it's people who don't speak much English and will ask me to draw them all in pantomime, and then call their friends over to see the result. Sketching at a park in Chinatown, where there's always these little groups of old men or old ladies playing cards, little old Chinese dudes often form a little circle around you to watch (and comment to each other in Chinese) and then you can't even see what you were sketching anymore. It's pretty adorable.
The best thing though, was one time on a train when I was drawing a guy and he noticed. He did the thing people sometimes do where, to avoid a confrontation or to be nice, he tried to pretend he didn't know and stay in the same position. I think he was trying not to let on that he'd noticed. Anyway I was just finishing the sketch of him and looked up again, and suddenly he whipped to face me and made a goofy face. I jumped a mile and almost dropped my pen, and then he laughed all the way to the next stop, where he got off. It was pretty awesome.

nonie, that story happened to me, almost in the exact same way. Reading that made me bust out laughing at the memory.
I have to go with Otis on this whole thing too, if you're shy or nervous about meeting girls , post up at a bar/starbucks/whatever and absorb yourself in your sketchbook, they will come. Not even just girls, people of all types. I met a homeless man who explained the basics of how a rocket is ignited and the kind of chemicals they mix to cause the reaction. That guy was awesome, I bought him lunch and we hung out.

oh wow i really wanna go get life drawing now

I was on a bus once and decided to sketch this gal sitting a few seats away. She got this freaked out look and eventually moved to a different seat.
I dunno if she even knew I was drawing, maybe she just thought I was some creepy guy checking her out?
Either way, that was about the last time I've drawn in public.

haven't read all the posts but the best thing if someone notices and you don't want to let them know is to just continue looking in their direction but past them and continue drawing
but you can also ask, many people might enjoy being drawn!
as for awkward moments, not really had any so far other than it seeming to have some sort of mysterious magnetic effect on the ladies
I actually enjoy working in front of people as much as watching someone draw or paint. It's so much more intimate and close than just looking at a finished piece. The sharing is more direct, for everyone involved.

One time I was drawing a girl while waiting in some Governmental waitingroom. After I finished my business, it seems like she waited all the time for me and ran after me to see the drawing I made of her.
When I showed her she became really sad and asked if she really had that kind of a deformed face.
That made me sad.

The rule comes more than two years after President Barack Obama signed the provision into law on July 6, 2012.

Roger Kodat, Project Director, National Academy of Public Administration
The trustees who oversee Social Security have released a mixed report on the program's solvency. Retirement will be okay until 2034. The disability trust fund, however, has just two more years. But what about the Social Security Administration itself? As a large agency responsible for delivering hundreds of billions of dollars in benefits each year, it also has long term challenges. Those hurdles are detailed in a study by the National Academy of Public Administration. Project Director Roger Kodat joined Tom Temin and Emily Kopp on the Federal Drive to discuss the major challenges at SSA over the next 10 years.
Denying your federal DNA
With all the bad press the government, and government workers are getting nowadays, do you ever tell people you do something else---like maybe you are a travel agent or undertaker---for a living? If not, you may want to reconsider why not.
Tammy Flanagan, National Institute of Transition Planning
Buying an annuity from the Social Security Administration is one way for federal employees to bolster their retirement income. And yes, you heard that right, you can buy a Social Security annuity. Tammy Flanagan is Senior Benefits Director for the National Institute of Transition Planning. She says on In Depth with Francis Rose the cost of the annuity depends on how patient you are.

Living costs are on the rise. That puts federal retirees on track for a 1.9 percent cost of living adjustment in January. But that's only if lawmakers don't change the way inflation is measured.

The most amazing curling iron ever.
I've been curling my hair since I was in third grade. I've gone through many, many curling irons. Eventually, I stopped curling my hair because of the damage. I just bought this and it's absolutely amazing!!! That hair you see on TV: flawless, not frizzy, shiny. That's exactly what you'll get! I just tried it. I loved it some much I just ordered another one for my sister!!Read More
Good large curling iron
I had an old Hot Tools 1.5 curling iron that I'd been using for about 5 years, when it finally died. I have below shoulder colored, blonde hair that I use the curling iron to help straighten out a slight wave and curl my ends under...nothing too fancy. I experimented with a straight iron for about a month since this tool has been so popular, but I didn't get my ends to hold onto their curl very well, so I bought this iron due to Chi's reputation. This iron gets really really hot! There is a digital display and you use up & down buttons to set your temp. I keep mine at 320 because my hair is fine and fragile due to coloring, but it can get much hotter. It gets hot very quickly and my hair is shiny and typically holds it's style until the next time I wash it. The two drawbacks with this is there is no auto shut-off, which is shocking for the price and for as hot as this gets. It could absolutely be a fire hazard. The other problem is that you have to keep your hair from the hinge. I've lost many a strand that got caught in the hinges and pulled out. I never had this problem with my cheaper Hot Tools iron. Not sure I'd repurchase, but it does a good job if you are looking for a high heat iron.Read More

Questions & Answers
I read it is better for my hair
What is the voltage of this specific curling iron? I'm travling to Australia and have an adaptor for the plug but wasn't sure if I needed a convertor.
this is a regular US plug.
I have the adaptor so the plug works in Australia, but my concern is with the voltage - can it handle 240 voltage?
Thank you for your inquiry. We verified with the manufacturer this unit is a 120V (ac), 60Hz, 70W but were unable to determine if it will handle 240V with a converter. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Where is this manufactured?
This is made in China.
Is this the same Turbo Digital Ceramic Spring Curling Iron from CHI website? They state that it has a one-year warranty only. Looking forward to your reply. Thank you.
They are similar in certain ways, but they are not exactly the same. This item comes with a two-year limited manufacturer''s warranty.
how does this model compare to the chi turbo curling iron 1.5"? thanks
It seems to be the same
Is it dual voltage
Unfortunately because this item is out of stock we do not have the inventory to check. I apologize for the inconvenience.
What are the temperature settings?
The temperature settings are low, medium, and high with a maximum temperature of 400 degrees.
