Sounds of Freak City Volume 1
Freaky flows from the debut release of Freak City Records
Sitting pretty up in suite 69, Arabian Prince growls down the telephone wire, "I'd like to order two freaks, and an 808 beat on the rocks," to the Freak City front-desk, his sadistic transmissions setting the seductive tone for the deliciously seedy "Freak City Hotline," track six on Sounds of Freak City Volume 1.
Founded by Old Young and Vally Girl of the Keyishe, the Freak City collective have been supplying alternative delights for L.A.'s underground music, fashion, art, and nightlife scenes. Since their first location on Melrose & Berendo in 2008, Freak City's artistic gallery-shop spaces have hosted an array of events and wild parties, hedonistic and artistic highs reached in equal measure. Now in their third spot in the old Antenna building on Hollywood Boulevard, having attracted flocks of musicians to their world and witnessed endless explosions of creativity, Freak City are finally shining light onto their own music and evolving to include Freak City Records.
So, this week Freak City Records released their debut compilation of aural goodies: Sounds of Freak City Vol.1. Consisting of a mixture of tracks formulated over the six year history of Freak City, and all recorded either at the Freak City space or up at the "RAP Shack" in the Hollywood Hills, where the collective's members reside, the collection is intended to represent the various angles of Freak City—its "past, present, and future."
Always connecting up the musical dots by maintaining an interaction between cultural nostalgia and forward thinking, the compilation is a true fusion of old and new musical styles. Fresh talent features alongside some notorious and established faces in the game, including the Keyishe, Ruckazoid, Chico Sonido, Arabian Prince, Wizardz and more. On the aforementioned "Freak City Hotline" the Miami Bass goddess the Lady Tigra of L'Trimm dials in and purrs a request for "something with a heavy bottom; something I can cruise to."
"We wanted to capture authentic sounds and styles, as Freak City stems from the old school and is totally NU school," says Old Young, and as a result, the collection touches on various genres, including boogie, rap, and house. And, rather than dipping into so many styles in a throwback fashion, he sees this more as "continuing and keeping a classic sound alive."
Acknowledging the symbolism of having physical copies of music nowadays, they are releasing a limited amount of vinyl pressings, CDs, and cassettes, as well as offering Sounds of Freak City Volume 1 for free download. Of this decision to move with the times as well as maintain traditional modes, Old Young, says, "We come from the old-school (and are) now in the digital era. So it's important for us to keep it true and forward at the same time." For music fanatics and collectors, it is reassuring to see the two forms co-existing in such a way.
Described as ultimately being "Funky, raw, and sexxxy," just like a Freak City party, the compilation provides an insight into the world of Freak City; a world and sound "inspired by the city and all the freaks in it."
Check out the video below for a teaser of the record and a glimpse into Planet Freak.

How are either of those dives? A two hander to the chest and a punch to the face versus a one handed flick of the stick on Setoguchi? You are not a Red Wings fan carman no matter what you say or anyone. Absolutely zero chance.
Are you seriously insinuating that Ribeiro swung his stick so hard the force was greater than a hockey puck moving at 90+ mph?
Set doesn't have any padding on the face, and when you get hit in the face it is going to hurt. Did he dive? Yes. But was the contact less painful than the two examples? Hellf****** no. Grow up and face the fact that the Red Wings are not perfect and do such terrible things as "diving" and the like.

The shore excursions were good, except in Istanbul and Ephesus Turkey. Both times we ended up at rug dealers and felt somewhat pressured. We had no intention of buying rugs and didn't like waiting for those who had to makes calls to the US and decisions about buying rugs. HA should have shore excusions exclusively for those who want to buy rugs.
We definitely felt the increased nubmer of passengers on this ship, and prefer the smaller HA ships. As usual, several passengers became ill, including my husband. He developed bronchitis and visited the ship's doctor who dispensed medication and sent him to bed. Unfortunately, he missed Santorini but that gives us an excuse to go back!
All in all, it was a great cruise, the weather was perfect and as soon as we recover from jet lag, we start thinking about our next HA cruise.
The shore excursions were disappointing in that both ended with demonstrations and pressure to buy by rug dealers. HA needs to sponsor shore excursions just for people who want to buy Turkish rugs.
We took a daytime gondola shore excursion and were a little disappointed in the length of the trip - way too short, but all in all, it was great.

Historical Traveler Reviews BEST WESTERN PLUS Dockside Waterfront Inn Mackinaw City
Just Perfect
If you really wanted you could sum up a review for the Best Western Dockside as "Just Perfect", but let me tell you why. I recently stayed at this hotel with my family. We stayed in a standard room on the beach side. It had a balcony with a great view of the lake. The hotel room was so good. The room was clean and cleaned every day when we stayed. We had plenty of towels for everyone. The beds were great they were thoes tempurpedic beds and it is true what they say about how nice they are. The staff was so professional and on top of everything. They recomended a resturaunt in the downtown shopping district that was fabulos. By the way the downtown district is in walking distance so you never had to drive your car. That was one of the best things. They had a free hot breakfast buffett in the morning that had eggs, sausage, oh and you can't forget about the wafles. The next time we take a vacation in will be to Mackinaw City and we will be staying at the Best Western Dockside.
Great time and great location
We recently stayed at the Best Western Dockside and had a nice and relaxing time. We had a waterfront room which was so convenient. All we had to do is walk out our back doorwall and the beach was right there. The beach was very clean and private, which was also great. The rooms were very clean and the location was perfect too. The only little thing that was troublesome was our room wasnt cleaned until late in the day. When we wanted to relax they were ready to clean our room. But all in all, the hotel more than met our expectations.
Disappointed at the Mediocrity
We have just returned from a weekend in Mackinaw City. I had originally booked a reservation at a different hotel and changed it to the Best Western Dockside after reading the reviews on this website and seeing that it was ranked as the #2 readers favorite (the #1 favorite property was not available during our dates). I am sorry that I didn't stick with my original reservation.
Summary: We left the Best Western with memories and impressions of dormant air, cheap furnishings and food, and less than gracious management. Was it a horrible experience? No. But neither was it charming, pleasant, inviting or hospitable.
Check-in, room and pool: While the hotel was not terrible, it was mediocre. The front desk staff was competent, but not particularly friendly or warm. The room was clean, but the furnishings seemed tired and chintzy. The bathroom was tiny. The towels were thin, worn and rough. The amenities were meager (tiny soap, generic shampoo, no mouthwash, etc.) The doors stuck. The air-conditioner was turned on but air never seemed to flow through the room, resulting in a stuffy feeling. Similarly the pool was uninviting - the pool room was hot, muggy and still - even my five year old son who loves hotel pools took a pass at the overly humid environment.
Breakfast: We were puzzled that the breakfast bar had been touted on many reviews. We found the room - which was large with pleasing big windows and lots of natural light - to be inexplicably stuffy, with no air circulation. The breakfast itself was unappetizing - an experience we neither enjoyed nor looked forward to repeating (we ate breakfast out the next day) - it was very institutional, big bulk items, cheap grade bagels, big vat of bulk chopped canned fruit, big vat of gelatinous gravy, bulk cereals, etc. As with our room, there was a overall feeling of corners being cut and providing the cheapest possible products.
Beach: On a positive note, the beach chairs were plentiful and comfortable. This stretch of Lake Huron beach by the hotel is calm and sandy, and very close to the ferry. Note, however, it faces east and thus does not have the view of the bridge and the wilder Lake Michigan/Huron shoreline that you would get if you were staying at a hotel around the corner facing in a northerly direction. Not a surprise, but something to be aware of.
Rates: We had booked the hotel on line- there were Senior and AAA discounts listed (approx. $20 less than the listed "standard rate") but we qualified for neither, so we booked at the higher "standard" rate ($178 for the first night, $188 for the second). When we arrived at the hotel, we upgraded to a room with a lake view (for an additional $10/night). Then, while paging through a brochure on Mackinaw sights, we saw an advertisement by our hotel claiming Senior, AAA and Costco members get $20 off published rates. Since we are Costco members we inquired at the front desk about an adjustment. They responded that since we booked on line we already had a discounted rate (we explained - to no avail - that our rate was listed as "standard", and that there were on line discounts listed for Senior and AAA but not Costco), they countered that since they had discounted the upgrade price for the lake view, we wouldn't be eligible for an additional discount anyway (even though the on line AAA and Senior prices for lake views were approx. $20 cheaper than the "standard rates" for the lake views). Go figure - I was disappointed at their reaction but was not going to cause a fuss over twenty bucks. However, to publish a discount in a brochure you hand to your guests and then not honor it seemed both miserly and mean spirited.
Bare minimum: While on the beach we spoke with a fellow traveler who was lamenting at the lack of water pressure and hot water at his (a different) hotel. Well, we had hot water and water pressure - no complaints there - the Best Western did provide the basics, albeit in a seemingly grudging manner. But while I wasn't expecting a luxury property, I was certainly expecting something more than the bare minimum (by contrast, the Country Inn and Suites in Big Rapids, MI - also a discount chain - where we stayed the night before to break up the long drive to Mackinaw, was very clean, airy, comfortable, friendly, with brand name amenities, a nice pool area and a smaller but more thoughtfully presented and inviting breakfast with individually packed Yoplait containers, single serving Kelloggs cereals, etc. and a front desk staff with a pleasant demeanor and complementary cookies)!
Bottom line: Would I go back to the Best Wetern Dockside the next time we visit Mackinaw City? No - I'll try somewhere else. They missed the chance to earn a repeat customer.
Very pleased with Best Western Dockside!
We loved the Best Western Dockside. We found it excellent for its class. It IS a motel, not the Grand Hotel, but keeping this in mind, we thought it a good value for the money and very family and kid friendly. We stayed from June 19th to June 24th. We had an oversized lakefront room with two queens and a pull out sofa bed. This slept my husband and I and our 3 children very comfortably. The room had a small refrigerator, so we were able to store drinks and snacks for our kids. There was cable tv, with all the kid channels so my kids did not have to go through cartoon withdrawal. The room and the hotel in general were kept immaculately clean. The west indian ladies who cleaned our room were friendly and more than efficient. They always had a kind word for the kids and never failed to clean our room in a timely manner. The public areas were also very clean. The breakfast bar, although not fancy, was extensive enough that there was something for everyone to eat. The indoor pool and jacuzzi were very nice and were open until midnight. The only bad thing about the pool was that you had to walk outside to get to it. The beach, although not pretty, was convenient and perfect for kids because the water was calm and remained very shallow a long way out. The motel is about a block down from 2 of the ferry lines, and everytime the boats would leave or come in, the wake they generated made fun waves. Plus, we all enjoyed watching the boats. As guests of the Best Western we were entiltled to free admission to an indoor waterpark located at the Comfort Suites down the street. This waterpark, really a water playground, was very fun. Although not huge, it had lots of features and although safe enough for my 4-year old, was also enjoyed by the big kids, and yes, by me. And it was free! A very good thing after you have spent so much money on the island and other attractions. The Best Western dockside is also located within a few blocks of the shopping area and also the ferry docks. All in all, we found the Best Western Dockside to be a very pleasant and convenient hotel.
Very disappointed
We stayed here while visiting Mackinaw Island. I read previous reviews and they all seemed pretty good so we chose this place. This motel is the kind you stop at when you are traveling and just need somewhere to stay for the night. We are middle class travelers and aren't that picky. We will never stay here again. When I made the reservatin the price was to high so I told them I would call back- at that point the guy asked me what I wanted to pay- I was a little put off so I was silent and then he offerened me a "manager's special" at half off. The price was good but not worth the price of having to stay here. The room was VERY dimly lit, we couldn't open the patio because hundreds of bugs- which also found their way inside the room through the not so great fitted screens- staff VERY unfriendly- no smile/acted like we were being a bother with simple direction questions/etc. The 25' breakfast bar was not good. Our second morning (and last) we opted to eat out and pay for our breakfast. There are signs hanging like "take what you want but eat what you take" - a mangaer/owner watching the breakfast bar with his hand crossed- all done in very poor taste. Other guests seemed trashy- yelling racist remarks in front of our 6 yr old- which they probably thought were ok since we were of their race- but we found it disgusting. Just not good.
On July 20, 2204 we stayed at the Best Western Motel Dockside located at 505 S. Huron Ave., Mackinaw City, MI 49701. This motel is listed in the March 2005 AAA Michigan TourBook. Our confirmation number was TU2007TR04. We confirmed the reservation with a credit card. Upon my arrival with my wife and two children, ages 8 and 14, on July 20, 2004 at 5:53 p.m. I was told that our reservation was for two rooms at $178 weekdays and $188 on the weekend. I was told that the $20 off coupon which was in the AAA guide as not valid because we already had the AAA rate. The coupon is for $20 off the published 2004 AAA rate. I told them that we had only reserved one room. I was told that I was responsible even though we had only asked for one room because the reservation card showed that we had reserved two rooms. . The motel charged my credit card for $1559.52 for our stay up until July 23, 2004. I was too tired after the nine hour drive to protest to strongly. I was told that they would sell the extra room that night and my credit card would be credited. We went to our room. Several hours later the front desk called me and told me that they had sold the room and credited my credit card $752.76. I was told that a $25 cancellation fee would be charged to me for the cancellation of the room. I do not feel that I am responsible for the cancellation fee because we never asked for two rooms. The error was on the part of the person who accepted our reservations. While I was guest at the motel we overheard another guest complaining to his family about the difficult time he had in getting the motel to tell him a rate. I did not receive an itemized bill, only a credit card receipt, which I had to ask for when I checked out. Upon our arrival at home there was a message on our answering machine from the Dockside on July 20, 2004 at around 4:00 p.m. asking us to call about our reservations. Odd, we had guaranteed our arrival by credit card. Overall we had a good stay. The accommodations were excellent, the staff helpful in other matters, even effortlessly assisting us in making arrangements for us to stay another night.
Nice hotel, but...
This hotel had very nice, clean and large rooms in a prime location. I was looking forward to a nice rest after a long day out, however, I was unfortunately kept up almost the entire night by very loud guests next door. I later wrote to the management, informing them of what happened, and suggested that they post rules for guests regarding common courtesy. I never heard back from anyone. They could have at least responded to me or acknowledged my comments. Even though it was a good hotel, I will not go back due to this experience.
Terrific Hotel - Awesome Location
Tremendous hotel. The rooms are very nicely decorated in a Northern Theme. The beach area is huge, but best of all you are right in the heart of town. Everything is nearby. You can walk to the laser show or the live theater or to all the best restaurants. I will always stay here.
Best Location in Mackinaw City-Teffific Rooms
My family and I stayed at the Best Western for 4 days. Its as great. We walked to all the attractions including the Fort and the Ferries and the Downtown Shopping Area. It was the closest hotel to everything. The Breakfast in the great room overlooking the lake was very nice too. Our room was really big and was decorated very nicely. We will definitely go back again.
Nice and clean
Nice, clean, big rooms, however it was hard to find towels for the pool area, everyone else seemed to have one but we couldn't find any. Most of the staff was pretty friendly, nice lobby area, very large breakfast area with a nice variety of foods. Very close to all the attractions.
Would stay there again.

Obama says he can't convince GOP to do right thing
UPDATED 9:13 AM PST Mar 01, 2013
President Barack Obama says he can't do a "Jedi mind meld" with Republican leaders and persuade them to do what he believes is right when it comes to trimming federal spending.
Asked if he could refuse to allow Republican leaders of the House and Senate to leave a White House meeting until a budget agreement was reached, Obama said that's not how a constitutional form of government works.
Obama took questions from the media at the White House after meeting with congressional leaders.

A 20th Century Question Anticipated
Newmans insights provide the basis of an answer to a current question: Is the human mind more capable than a Turing machine in arriving at truth about concrete things that exist? John Henry Newman examined an equivalent question, in which the mind was compared with languages rather than machines. He offered his response in An Essay in Aid of a Grammar of Assent [1870]. Newman anticipated the limitation basic to Gödel's incompleteness result for consistent formal systems, by claiming a fundamental incompleteness property for all languages such as English. He proposed a new definition of "proof" drawn from his own experience of human assent to truth, and based on a mathematical analogy. His analogy suggests that the human mind, in developing a proof, is not confined to finite sequences of words any more than a mathematician or scientist is confined to thinking in terms of rational numbers.
We consider now the implications of Newmans work for the mind-machine controversy, most recently enlivened by Roger Penrose's contributions in The Emperor's New Mind [1989] and in Shadows of the Mind [1994].

Long before America made gay marriage legal across the country, Nigerians have always detested the entire concept of same-sex marriage and sex, and have always looked at America suspiciously for allowing it. It's not as if America is the only country where gay people exist, and even within Nigeria itself, there are gay people, but Nigerians do not wear it like a badge of honor because it is in fact a detestable thing. How can a man be attracted to a fellow man? But there are many valid reasons Continue Reading
What Feminism Means To Me — Because I'm Just A Girl
When I was a child growing up in Nigeria, I knew nothing about feminism. I knew that men were more powerful than women because it was what I had observed, but I had never heard of feminism. Ironically, I attended an all girls' high school. Then I came to America as a teenager, and one of the first classes I took in college was Women's Studies. That was when I learned about feminism. And at first, it sounded like a great idea. I might have even considered myself a mini feminist. But the Continue Reading
Top 10 Reasons Why Marrying A Child Bride Should Be Legal In Nigeria
1. It's our culture. 2. They're doing it already, so why not just legalize it? 3. The law only affects those who practice it. 4. It is the religion of the Muslims, just like Sharia, so they should be allowed to practice it. 5. Legalizing it is the same thing as legalizing gay marriage. 6. The men don't actually have sex with the young brides until they are of age. 7. This law doesn't actually exploit children; instead, it gives child brides the same rights as adult Continue Reading
What Are You Worth?
The debate over healthcare and insurance is one that is best understood and appreciated by people who know what it's like to be sick and not be able to afford the needed treatment. Years ago, I suffered what was supposed to be minor stomach flu. I had all the classic symptoms: nausea, diarrhea, cramps, and fever. The cramps went from bad to worse, and while I feared that what I was suffering might have been worse than the stomach flu, I made Google my doctor and refused to go to the hospital Continue Reading
Lessons Hollywood Can Learn From Nollywood
Two weeks ago, I had the pleasure of watching the Golden Globe Awards. While I enjoy watching almost most awards of this kind, I usually do not get to watch the red carpet. They're just going to tell me what they are wearing, and since I cannot afford them yet, what does it matter? But this time, I sat in front of my television at 6pm, searched for Channel E, and enjoyed the red carpet. From the red carpet to the actual award show, I could not help but notice some differences between Continue Reading
Whose Mouth Will You Have To Stop Feeding?
Yours? Or someone else's? You may be one of those people who tune into stations like CNN and MSNBC only accidently, and when you do, the first thing you notice is that your television has a lot of pixels. My, the clarity! And that the lady giving the news is kind of pretty. Look at the fullness of her lips. And that the man next to her is a sharp dresser. Where did he get that suit from? And while you ponder all these very important things, your right ear might overhear – also Continue Reading
Top 12 Reasons Why Igbos And Yorubas Should Not Marry
Whether you are aware of it or not, many inter-tribal relationships have died an untimely death because of the tribal differences between the couple. Parents, elders, and friends have rained down fire and brimstone to see to it that this sacrilegious union does not get to the altar. The strong couples come out of it beaten, bruised, but alive nonetheless. The weaker ones --- well, they inspire me to write this. The most popular union seems to be the one between the Igbos and the Yorubas. Continue Reading
My Meeting With Professor Viola Onwuliri, Minister of Foreign Affairs
With the exception of my birthday having been the previous day, Sunday, January 15th 2012 would have been like any other Sunday. I would have stayed dressed in my comfy clothes, talked on the phone, and maybe blogged a little bit. But at about 4 PM on this Sunday, I received notification via Facebook that Professor Viola Adaku Onwuliri, Nigeria's Minister of Foreign Affairs was having a town hall kind of meeting with Nigerians in my area. The first instinct was to dismiss the message, but it was Continue Reading
To Date A Married Man
In the generation before ours, and in the generation before the generation before ours, there were people – men and women – who questioned if marital fidelity truly existed. And now, in this generation, here I am, among many others, questioning the same issue, wondering if it is just an ideology instead of an actual day of life. Continue Reading
Life's Like That Sometimes
On Tuesday, July 20th 2010, what started out as a short trip to the University of Baltimore, Maryland turned out to be a real eye opener for me. How long its lesson would last is still unknown, but for my sake, I hope it lasts a long time. The University of Baltimore is the most libertine school in Maryland, as I have been told, and while I loved that bit of information about the school, I did not like its location: Downtown Baltimore. For the past decade, Downtown Baltimore and I have had Continue Reading

Issue 209:
2 Bugs:
1 on drag drop, numfiles was not initialised. Could countain random
number, not actual files dragged and dropped
max number of jobs was not being incremented on dragdrop.
now, if you dragdrop and the file list goes > max number of jobs, we add
50 more rows to filelist.
note: file list is initially limited to 100 jobs because of the memory
overhead of maintaining arrays of the filenames, command lines, options
settings, etc
enhancement: added hint for file list showing number of files in queue
when cursor not over a filename
Issue 211
Use of double quotes replaced by single quote. Cosmetic, done
|Post comment
I've always found this an excellent front end for ffmpeg. It's very easy to customize, modify or build presets allowing for batch encoding and simplifying command line modifications.
It's also easy enough to swap out different ffmpeg versions-- say "normal" ffmpeg and ffmbc to gain specific functionality. Though one should be aware that, given the ever changing nature of ffmpeg, the presets are optimized for the included version
Reduced a 1.76 Gb .mov to a 475 Mb .avi with no big issues. It did alter the aspect ratio slightly but it plays well with my small memory vid card. Straight out of the box, as well. I didn't delve into any other settings. I don't know all there is to know about video construction and I realize it may not work well for others I'd like to resize smaller. Thanks
Doesn't work. Crashes straight off the bat on an mkv file.
Tried winff (newest build) on an mp4. It crashed. Tried newest handbrake build, using ffmpeg rather than x264 to encode, on the same file. It worked perfectly.
Hmmm ... definitely not good.
On grounds of functionality or ease of use I just can't find a single reason to use this over avidemux or handbrake or a number of others.
Nice program. Interface is pretty good. Very good output. Doesn't dump flaky codecs into Windows, though I'd expect that from a Linux port.
It's not technically compatible with win7 ... apparently it's written in an open source pascal that's not available yet ... but I haven't had any problems.
While it looks easier than some, I find you still have to know something about formats. It's no Handbrake (or vidcoder) in that respect.
It's still pretty powerful. I'd recommend it.
But I've basically been using either Handbrake / Vidcoder or avidemux to convert. To me this is more of an avidemux alternative. I don't think winff is really resolved enough to make me stop using avidemux.
Ok, I found the trouble with the preset editing not working: the program saves the modified presets to an XML file in the %PROGRAMFILES%\WinFF folder, but the program actually reads from a separate XML in the (for me) %APPDATA%\Roaming\WinFF folder, so it can't find the updated XML file as it's in the wrong place and consequently the added/edited presets don't work -
this is is whats commonly known as a bug -
GUI is a bit clunky with no word wrap, if you have a long filename it disappears off the edge of the window and you can't view it or it's extention -
It comes with a pre-programmed set of presets but not anything I want to use - it claims to be able to edit presets but the function simply doesn't work on my PC.. so it's useless for me.
Has potential but not enough flexibility. I use AVANTI instead for more control over parameters, although thats far from perfect either. If I knew how to program I'd write my own GUI...
Works just fine in my win 7, 64 bit machine.
Excellent tool - works fine under Windows XP...
FFMPEG documentation is all over the internet so with some work you can tune WinFF to do exactly what you need.
I would highly recommend this tool for easy conversions (with default profiles)...
FFMPEG is very powerful but as above, you will need to RTFM to make full use of it !
WinFF.. SORY BUT THIS TOOL IS NOT WORK IN WINDOWS XP AND YOU CAN'T FIND ANY HELP ABOUT. THIS IS VERY BAD BECAUSE FFMPEG IS THE BEST CLI APP :(
What a brilliant piece of sw! It converted all of my MOV files corrupted by NERO into viewable AVI video clips viewable under Media player. V grateful to all involved in development of tool.
Well you go ahead and laugh, but maybe you should blame whoever set up the ratings system here in the first place. To have a "value for money" option on (what is mostly) free software around here is pretty ridiculous. That being said, I'll use it to post something negative about a piece of software that I find to be pretty lacking as it currently is.
Now do you have any constructive solutions to offer here? WinFF has some potential. I'd be perfectly happy to give it another chance in spite of your silly fanboy ravings.
I think this is a great tool. I've never had a problem with it. Now to the reviewer below me, people come here and read the reviews on software to get a good idea of what they think the software will be like and if its a good fit for them. So I would have to say your review of 4 of 10 for Value is a little misplaced, umm because its free!! So yeah this doesn't seem to be free enough for me, I'm going to give it a 4. Hmm. Makes me laugh.
I gave him about 6 weeks. Why? Is that not long enough? How long does it take? /;^(
I think I reported some legitimate issues. If you have any constructive solutions to any of them, I'd be glad to hear 'em.
To the previous reviewer, you are freaking nuts. This is a great tool that works for me. How long did you give the developer to respond to your issues? He's always been very quick to respond in my case. Remember that it is summer time, and I'm sure he has a life, so cut the guy some slack. We should be so lucky that someone gives of their time, and all of this for "FREE".
This tool isn't very good and support for it is lacking, at best.
- For one thing, just to convert a simple .avi to an MPEG-4 takes hours.
- The auto shutdown doesn't work. I left it ticked in the menu and when I came back a few hours later, my machine was still on after the encoding process had completed.
- Try inserting an .srt file into the advanced command line so it will be embedded in the finished product. I had no clue how to do it and when I went to the guy's forum for help, he wasn't around. A simple path directing it to where the .srt located in it's file folder would do. As it is, there's no guide out there on how to do it.
- How about a progress bar or an timer letting us know how long it's going to take.
Hey it's free, so I shouldn't expect much, huh? Well you get what you pay for which in this case, is close to zero
Easy to use and the author did all of the hard word to figure out the multitude of ffmpeg switches for file conversion.
I figured out how to do it. I created two new presets similar to each other excep one crops by 100 and the other by 250. I post here if someone else needs it:
-f avi -r 25 -vcodec libxvid -vtag XVID -cropleft 100 -cropright 100 -s 704x384 -aspect 1.83 -maxrate 1800kb -b 1500kb -qmin 3 -qmax 5 -bufsize 4096 -mbd 2 -bf 2 -flags +4mv -trellis -aic -cmp 2 -subcmp 2 -g 300 -acodec libmp3lame -ar 48000 -ab 128kb -ac 2
First thank you very much for sharing this tool. Like everyone else I am amazed with the speed and quality of your tool. I have been using this for past few days and very pleased with it.
I am also posting this to get some help from you please. I often record free to air TV and sometimes the movies are broadcast as 4x3 where I see to black bars on the left and right of the screen. Now, I would like to get rid of these bars and have the movie converted to avi where it covers the full screen. I have tried your AVI-Full screen presettings and it doesn't seem to work. I used Handbrake by setting the resolution to 1920x1080 and crop to t=4,b=8,l=456,r=456 and it does it successfully. However, I am really keen to get it going with WinFF as I want to do all of my conversions with WinFF. I have tried to add the following to the preset: -croptop 4 -cropbottom 8 -cropleft 456 -cropright 456
and changed the resolution and aspect ration to 1920x1080 and 1.76 but no luck. Could you please help me get this going. I am not really good with FFMpeg or video editing concepts.
Thank you very much.
Apropos my earlier post... About 10 minutes after making a generally complimentary post, I discovered that the one criticism I had of this product was in error. I tried to post a correction, unfortunately, this website would not allow me to post the correction for 24 hours. So here it is, along with some more details on editing presets:
In fact WinFF provides the ability to fine-tune the conversion profiles and save different variations of the defaults under custom names (very helpful). However, that feature is separate from the 'Additional Options' tabbed dialog, which at first glance appears to be the place to go in order to fine-tune the conversion presets. Intuitively, I would have expected an 'edit' or 'advanced' settings tab in that same context. Eventually I found this feature under a generic 'Edit' menu, which is perfectly okay with me.
However, it is confusing to see (for example) a blank box for 'Video Bitrate' when the selected preset has already provided a '-b' command line value for that parameter. Even more confusing, a blank input field for 'Additional Command Line Parameters' without showing the current command line. I tried entering an alternative setting into this field, and it was appended, rather than replacing the original value. So when I looked at the command line preview, it appeared at first glance to have ignored my modification.
WinFF is a very useful program, and given the complexity of ffmpeg, it would be quite a bit of additional work to try and provide input fields for all the possible variations. There is an option 'Display CMD Line' which purportedly shows the final ffmpeg command line, but for some reason, it wouldn't allow me to actually approve the command line and launch the conversion process. I had to hit OK, then go back and turn off the 'Display CMD Line' option, then hit 'Convert' again. So maybe a more accurate designation would be: 'Preview CMD Line'. One easy way to improve that situation might be to simply allow the user to edit the command line en-passante as part of that step, and provide 'CONVERT' and 'CANCEL' options as the exit options for the dialog.
Bottom line, all my prior '7' ratings are now '8'. This is a very helpful front end to a very valuable conversion program (ffmpeg).
cosmotopper, try reading the documentation's that are included, guides that are available, ffmpeg.org documentation, and also not using an old version. You will find that there atleast 2 simple ways of viewing the command lines and 2 ways to modify it.
A good working GUI front end for FFMPEG, as long as you choose the most generic options. The program provides a way to modify the presets, but provides no visibility of what the original presets are. Also provides a means of adding things to the command line, but once again, if you don't know what the default command line looks like, it's hard to know how any additions you might make would affect it. They do have an option to preview a command line queue of some kind, but no way (apparently) to intercept and modify the batch file that actually does the work. All the action takes place in a command window, which is fine. It's a very useful utility if you just need to do some basic conversions and don't want to have to learn FFMPEG.
I tried this program on the reccommendations of other reviews when I found myself in need of an flv to mpg converter. I have to say WinFF performed better than I expected. Quick conversion and the quality was brilliant, even though I didn't use the highest quality settings. This is the kind of quality I would expect from software you have to pay for, the fact that it's freeware makes it even more amazing!
It works even in VISTA 64-bit (VISTA Home Premium, SP1, 64-bit) ... just run it in Compatibility mode. It is Fast & No Hassle. THANKS to BigMatt for a Great program!
This little gem also does a great job in converting FLV (Youtube files) into 3GP (Mobile Files). I couldn't play the converted file until I renamed the file extension from '3G2' to 3GP then it played using my VLC player.

Moments to Remember: My Music
Tuesday, December 1 at 9:30 p.m.
Relive those magical days and nights of going steady and slow dancing at the corner malt shop.
Patti Page, Nick Clooney, Peter Marshall, Wink Martindale and "The Lawrence Welk Show's" Mary Lou Metzger co-host "Moments to Remember," a cavalcade of those unforgettable pop songs from the late 1950s and early 60s.
Many legends of the period, including Frankie Laine, Julius LaRosa, the Four Lads, Four Aces, Four Freshmen, Roger Williams, Lenny Welch, the Platters and the DeCastro Sisters, return to the stage to sing their greatest hits. Archival performances from Rosemary Clooney (pictured above), Perry Como and Nat King Cole round out this sequel in the 50s pop story.

Do you or your kids have a bunch of stained tee's that you just can't bear to part with? Well with this Salvage Your Tee Shirts tutorial from Cristin Frank, you can learn how to cover up those pesky stains and create a shirt that's as good as new! This is a great project for moms with kids who love to play outside. You can give new life to old clothes and make your clothes last longer by reinventing them and creating new screened images using easy to find materials.
- Tee shirt
- Freezer paper
- Hand drawn stencil
- Scissors
- Iron
- Paint
Using freezer paper (from a grocery store) cut out the custom image you want to paint on your shirt.
Iron on the freezer paper, shiny side down. Cut a rectangle of freezer paper and place it shiny side up inside the shirt, under where the stencil is placed. Hold the iron on it for 30 - 60 seconds.
Once the freezer paper has successfully stuck to the shirt, paint the stencil. I like to use interior paint like you would use on your wall because a.) I have it on hand and b.) I know it won't come off in the wash. Here I'm using the paint from my kitchen.
- When the paint is dry, remove the freezer paper from the front and inside of the shirt. There will be no trace of the paper.

Motivating to Quit
Motivating to Quit
Whether you've tried to quit smoking before or this is your first time, you probably know that smoking is a deadly habit. In fact, smoking kills almost half a million Americans every year, causing nearly one of every five deaths in the United States. Smoking is the single most preventable cause of death in our society. Even in the face of this reality, many people continue to smoke – not because they don't want to stop, but because continuing to smoke seems easier than trying to quit. But however difficult it may be, when you quit smoking, you give up a familiar habit, and in return you gain your health and your life. When you quit smoking, you are not only making important lifestyle changes for yourself, your family, and others around you, but also, you are making personal mindset changes that will help you live tobacco-free.
The fact that you are reading this means that you may be ready or maybe you've begun to think about quitting. Did you know that 46 million Americans have already quit smoking? You can do it too.
In this section, learn about motivating to quit. Discover the benefits of quitting, read questions to think about, and review concerns about quitting, including what you can do to help get through common obstacles like weight gain, stress, and nicotine withdrawal.
Smoking Fact
Cigarette smoking is currently at a lower rate than at any point since the start of World War II. However, an estimated 25 percent of men and 20 percent of women still smoke cigarettes.

Magic Man
|Chapter 28
|Posted: January 27, 2012
|You know, it's a funny thing. When Legolas is here, and I don't mean with me, when he is in this world, I feel consumed by him. But when he is gone, like he is now, I have a hard time remembering him. Well, of course I remember him, but it's the little things that slip my mind. For instance, he has a scent about him. It is like sensing the different seasons. There are those days when you step out of your front door and inhale the fresh air. You just know in your mind what season it is. Legolas reminds me of summer. He smells like all those things that make you think and feel that it is summertime. I sure could us him right now, in the middle of winter. But I find myself not being able to remember what summer smells like. Winter has come on strong this year and it has been tough. We've had more snow than usual. Now that it's coming up on spring, there is a threat of ice storms. The next system to move through our area just might give us one of those kinds of storms. I am ready for whatever Mother Nature has in store for me. I only wish Legolas were here with me.
That's the other thing bothering me. I find it hard to recall how his hair feels, or the touch of his hand, the rubbing of a shoulder. Why can't I remember? When he has passes through the portal, I tend to forget the little things. Maybe he has me under a spell or something. Maybe I am not supposed to remember him. Still, there is one thing that burns fresh in my mind. Even if I forget everything else about him, this is the one thing that will never leave me… his blue eyes. They are etched into my memory. If one day I forget everything, I will always see those sky blue crystals staring right through me. They will haunt me until I leave this world. I thought of my mother at this point. I wondered if she felt the same thing and maybe when I told her about Legolas, it brought back all of her memories of meeting him once a long time ago.
* * *
Spring was just around the corner and just as predicted, we got hit by a pretty bad ice storm. I lost power to my house. I had a feeling this would happen and stocked up on food and wood for the fireplace. I knew from past experiences that if the power lines were knocked down, it may be a while before crews came out this way. I was pretty far out in the country. The roads alone were treacherous to drive on. No one would be out this far for a while.
Luckily, I had my phone. I was delighted to hear from Mac and Dwain. They were just checking up on me. It was good to know someone looked out for my well being. They worried about my summer disappearance. I kept Legolas a secret and told them I was busy with bills and orders and such. My excuse worked well enough for these two, being they were the ones taking care of the fields. They knew how much work it was.
* * *
It was officially the first day of spring, but you wouldn't have known it. The temperature hadn't made it above freezing yet, and ice still covered much of the land. It had been four days since the storm and I was still without power. The roads had been treated and were finally passable but there was no point in going anywhere. Everything was closed due to the blackout.
That night, I had a dream that I ran out of wood and the house became unbearably cold. For the life of me I couldn't get warm. Suddenly I had a feeling of comfort wash over me. There was a knock on the door. When I answered it, I found Legolas standing there. I took his hand and pulled him into the house. He looked upon me with such dark eyes. His breathing was heavy. He took me into his arms and held me close. I relaxed in his strong embrace. Then he kissed me but this time with such demand. His lips traveled down my neck and back up again. Neither one of us said a word. He picked me up in his strong arms and carried me to my bedroom. But when he opened the door, there was a very bright light. From within I heard a voice telling me I could not follow. It said I had another purpose and I could not be with Legolas. Our love was not real and should never have happened. I was to be punished for seducing him. When I tried to explain that I had done no such thing, I was silenced and pulled into the light. I looked back at Legolas standing in the doorway.
"I will never stop searching for you." he said. "I will find you one day and when I do, you must remember me."
I woke up in a sweat. Panic flushed throughout my body. I didn't understand this dream but I knew I didn't want to go into the light. I somehow knew that once I went into it, there was a good chance I would never find my way back into Legolas' arms ever again. The dream disturbed me to no end. I got out of bed and went to the kitchen for a drink of water. When I looked at the clock, I noticed it was almost time to get up anyways. So I made some coffee and got the paper from the front porch. It looked like it was going to be a nice day, though still too cold for the ice to melt. As I stood on the porch, I looked out to the tree line in the distance and wondered about Legolas. I hoped he would come back early. That dream made me miss him terribly. I wondered how he was in his world.
I went back into the house, poured a cup of coffee and opened the paper. After about an hour I stopped and went back to my thoughts of Legolas. Lately, it seemed I could not stop thinking about him. Maybe there was some truth to my dream. Maybe I could feel when he came back. Today more than ever, it felt like he was out there somewhere. I tried to shake this feeling and went back to my paper and coffee.
There was a knock on the door. My heart began to pound. It was Legolas, I just knew it. He had been on my mind so much lately. He was here and he wanted to see me. I jumped up from my chair and ran to the door. I swung it open and smiled. "Legolas, I have missed…" I stopped mid sentence when I saw who it was at my door. Needless to say, it was not Legolas.

In his 14 years as Heidelberg's baseball coach, Matt Palm only could count 10 games when his father wasn't there to support him.
Palm said he wants to be there like that for his kids.
And carrying the responsibilities of HU's baseball coach and athletic director were going to make that different.
Article Photos
So Palm, the only coach to take the school's program to a World Series, made a decision.
Heidelberg announced Friday that Palm will step down as baseball coach after the upcoming season. Chad Fitzgerald, Palm's associate head coach, will take over for Palm after that.
Palm will remain as the university's athletic director. The father of four said it was getting difficult to juggle all his responsibilities.
"The family is a big part [of the decision]," said Palm, whose oldest son, Sam, is a sophomore and multi-sport athlete at Calvert. "You want to be able to spend time with (your kids), watch them grow. I know I'll still be heavily involved in coaching [them]. My dad's missed 10 games since I coached at Heidelberg. I want to carry on that legacy."
Fitzgerald, Palm's assistant for the past seven seasons, said the decision to announce things now was because the staff didn't want the players on the 2014 squad to think they impacted Palm's decision. It was also announced to let recruits know the situation.
Fitzgerald said he doesn't expect much to change in 2014.
"I've handled the pitching staff [in recent years], Matt handles the hitters," Fitzgerald said. "I don't think there will be a ton of change there."
Palm's run at Heidelberg has been an unmitigated success. He took over in 2000, and since then, he has led The 'Berg to 428 wins, six 30-win seasons, five Division III regional tournament appearances, five Ohio Athletic Conference regular season championships, four OAC tournament championships and a 2010 World Series appearance.
Before Palm's arrival, the program had a .387 winning percentage.
After this season, Fitzgerald will have a chance to continue the program's success.
"I think the sky's the limit for the program," Fitzgerald said. "We're going to continue to work hard, bring in good players; see no reason why we couldn't be back where we were five six years ago."
Palm, who hired Fitzgerald right after the latter's successful pitching career at Seton Hill, praised the future mentor of the Students Princes.
"He's paid his dues, played at great program at Seton Hill and was a great student as well," Palm said. "I see him as somebody who'll put his stamp on the program. He's his own person, but carry on what Heidelberg baseball has been on the field off the field."
But before that, Palm has one more piece of business as coach: The 2014 season.
"We have a great group of young men," Palm said of this year's team. "They're as motivated as they've ever been, and are looking forward to what they can accomplish."

Watson ensures rain puts Australia through
Keep up to date with all of the action from the 2012 World Twenty20 with exclusive reports & reaction plus previews, features, video highlights and photos
Australia progressed to the World Twenty20 Super Eights as Group B winners via a 17-run Duckworth/Lewis defeat of West Indies at Colombo's Premadasa Stadium.
Shane Watson's unbeaten 41 fronted a charge to 100 for one in pursuit of 192 when a terminal downpour in the 10th over forced the players off.
It was a disappointing end to a game that was shaping up for an exciting climax after Chris Gayle and Marlon Samuels' half-centuries aided an imposing 191 for eight. The Windies now face a winner-takes-all showdown with Ireland on Monday at the same venue.
Darren Sammy opted to bat first today only to see Mitchell Starc, who returned 3-35, produce a fine in-swinger that clipped the top of Dwayne Smith's off-stump early on.
Watson dropped Gayle, on four, at third man in Starc's next over and Johnson Charles hit 10 from the left-armer's next two balls.
Gayle began to make Australia pay by taking 18 off Pat Cummins in the following over, but Dan Christian at least forced Charles to play on for 16 with a slower ball.
Boundaries came regularly for Gayle, who brought up his fifty from 26 deliveries, until Watson partially made amends for his spill by having the left-hander caught and bowled for 54 via a leading edge.
Samuels seized the initiative with four sixes in three overs but, having gone to 50 from 31 balls, holed out to long-on off Kyle Hogg without addition.
Mike Hussey's athletic catch, running in from deep midwicket, gave Watson Kieron Pollard's scalp and Dwayne Bravo, who had lifted Cummins over the cover rope, was cleaned up by the same bowler for 27.
Sammy had struck 12 from the first three balls of the last over when he holed out to long-on and Starc immediately bowled Denesh Ramdin, yet Sunil Narine prevented a hat-trick with the 26th boundary of the innings.
David Warner gave Australia's chase early impetus with 22 from Ravi Rampaul's first over, but was immediately caught behind for 28 attempting to drive Fidel Edwards.
Hussey and Watson ticked along nicely before the former picked up 21 of 22 runs from a Samuels over, although he was aided by Smith dropping him over the midwicket rope.
Watson had hit five boundaries in his 24 balls and Hussey had made 28 from 19 when the elements intervened.

Cardinal Dominance - Your #1 source for exclusive insider recruiting, videos, interviews, wallpaper photo albums and reports of Louisville Athletics!
How long does it take for a broken wrist to heal enough to play? And if it does heal enough will he be in good enough game shape to make a difference? Im only asking cause I dont know and hope there are some more educated people here to feel me in on the injury.
Views: 76
First, let me state, I am no doctor or have any medical training, so this is all I know about a broken wrist. Recovery time is determined by the severity of the break. Could be 4 to 6 weeks in a cast and then 2-4 weeks therapy. Some wrists require surgery while others require only a cast. The good news for Deing is Louisville has some of the best hand specialists' in the world. There is a new procedure called Micronail that allows a 2-3 week recovery of a broken wrist, maybe 1 week of therapy. If this is available for Gorgui then I am sure he will be afforded it. Micronail is a procedure that uses 2-3 small incisions and the procedure lasts less than an hour. There is no cast but a removable splint.
So, we are looking at a possible quick recovery of maybe Dec. 16 or so but then maybe a slower recovery that will take Deing toward the end of Dec. All Card fans are looking at the DEC. 29 uk game so we will be on pins and needles waiting for this to play out. My guess, the break was more minimal than major. Good luck, big guy!!
Thanks P. For not bein a doctor you were very informative.
With the uk game 33 days away, I like Deing's chances to play vs. uk. Thats' 4 weeks and 5 days. Hopefully he can get back sooner, maybe like the game before. He would need about a week of therapy to get the stiffness out and mobility back. Might affect his jumper a bit but just to have his shot blocking and inside presence will be huge. Good chance for Price and SVT to get some experience. Price needs the minutes badly.
Looking forward to see Deing on the bench next game. See if he is in a full cast or some type of splint. This will give us a clue on how long he might be out. Full cast, 4 weeks? Splint 3 weeks?
Gorgui will have a screw inserted in his wrist and miss four-to-six weeks the school announced Monday.
Dieng broke the scaphoid bone in his left wrist in the win over Missouri on Friday. Dr. Luis Scheker of the Kleinert Kutz Hand Care Center in Louisville will perform the surgery on Tuesday.
"With a little luck, Gorgui will be back by the start of our Big East schedule," said UofL Coach Rick Pitino in a released statement. "We will miss his defensive presence and passing ability, but it's time for other guys to step up their performances."
Pitino says with luck he will be back for the start of the BE schedule, well the BE schedule starts 3 days after the uk game. So in translation, Gorgui will be back for the uk game without a doubt. ; )
Pitino always talks in 'worse case scenario
So like you, I believe 3-4 weeks. They showed a picture of Deing on the news after surgery and his hand was in a splint and not a cast, so to me that is news of a quicker than predicted recovery.

Starting from Scratch: A Multi-Stage Analysis of Remote E-Negotiations

This paper presents the design and the findings of an experiment in which subjects were asked to conduct remote, computer mediated negotiations with perfect strangers. As a result, we found evidence that: the consecutive phases of the negotiations have been much more heterogeneous than commonly assumed, the negotiators' approach did not converge, but diverge throughout the process, the 'objective' outcome of the negotiation measured by total score depended primarily on the antecedent phase and only indirectly on the concurrent phase, and finally that the negotiating style demonstrated by the parties was mainly important for the relational outcome and was not correlated with their final score. Based on these findings, we propose a comprehensive model of the overall structure of remote negotiations specifying the relationships between the consecutive phases.

The Big Show: Amid the usual Turkey Day start-ups of Christmas traditions around Grand Rapids -- Nite Lites at Fifth Third Ballpark, Christmas and Holiday Traditions Around the World at Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park -- there's something new and special to enjoy this weekend, and you'll be plenty thankful you checked it out. The Benefit for Pam Castleman kicks off at 2 p.m. Sunday at the Knights of St. Casimir Society Hall, 649 6th St. NW. Castleman, the twin sister of renowned Grand Rapids drummer Randy Marsh, is recovering from a massive stroke and heart attack. So, to help pay her bills, a host of unbelievably talented bands are getting together to perform. Starting at 2 p.m. with the Grand Rapids and District Pipe Band, the following groups will play: Snare Duet (with Randy's nephew Shawn), Organissimo, 33rd Street Band, Root Doctor, Cooper/Hay/Van Lente Group and Hip Pocket, which will hit the stage at 8 p.m. For a $10 donation at the door, you absolutely can't go wrong and isn't this embracing the true spirit of the holidays?
Other bracing stuff:
Friday -- The Fred Knapp Trio is the featured jazz band at this week's Friday Nights at GRAM at the Grand Rapids Art Museum, 101 Monroe Center NW. It runs 5:15-7 p.m. Friday and admission is just $5 (with libations and snacks available).
Friday -- If He Dies He Dies, the hard-rocking Grand Rapids metalcore band, hosts a CD-release party at 8 p.m. Friday at The Intersection, 133 Grandville Ave. SW. Tickets are $7 through Ticketmaster. The bill includes The Trial, The Deadlast, Ascend the Throne, Vandal Known as Myth and Enormosaurus (yes, these are the real names of these bands). Look for a Local Spins review of the IHDHD CD in Sunday's Press.
Saturday-Sunday -- The Chamber Choir of Grand Rapids performs its Christmas concert at 7:30 p.m. Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday at the Basilica of St. Adalbert, 701 Fourth St. NW. Tickets are $18 adults, $15 seniors and $5 students.
Saturday -- Put on your cowboy boots and stomp over to Louie's Bar and Rocket Lounge, 608 Bridge St. NW, for the truckabilly strains of The Truckstop Cobras and the rockabilly tunes of The Wild Woodys. Music begins at 9:30 p.m. and there's no cover.
Under the Radar Pick: Fans of longtime Grand Rapids rock band Domestic Problems won't want to miss this: The DP Trio (led by Andy Holtgrieve) performs roundabout 9 p.m. Friday at Hopcat, 25 Ionia Ave. SW. And on Saturday, Hopcat puts blues band The Vincent Hayes Project in the spotlight. Both bands are more than worthy of your attention, and admission to the smoke-free pub is free. (Also, if blues is your genre of choice, catch Chicago fave Ronnie Baker Brooks at River City Slims, 243 Commerce Ave. SW, around 9 p.m. Friday. Admission is $10).
On the Horizon: The annual Winter's Tune concert, featuring performances of new and traditional holiday tunes by a dozen or so Michigan songwriters, takes place Dec. 7 at Wealthy Theatre.

Health Benefits
Purification and Maximum Detox with a Portable Steam Sauna and Steam Therapy
Clients are increasingly aware of the wide variety of toxins that may be in their bodies, including herbicides, pesticides, food additives, air pollution, and household chemicals. When ingested, these chemicals can remain in the body for years, altering our metabolism, causing enzyme dysfunction and nutritional deficiencies, creating hormonal imbalances and lowering our threshold of resistance to chronic disease. Today, studies show that most of us have between 400 and 800 chemical residues stored in the fat cells of our bodies. When our bodies exceed the limit that we can excrete, we begin to store these toxins. The Maximum Purification and Detox Treatment along with Steamy Wonder Portable Steam Sauna provide the ultimate detoxification.
Symptoms of toxicity
The following symptoms are often related to toxicity: allergies, acne, anxiety, burning skin, brain fog, chronic fatigue, chemical sensitivities, depression, eczema, frequent colds or flu, insomnia, loss of dexterity, low body temperature, memory loss, mood swings, muscle and joint pains and poor concentration.
Regular Steamy Wonder Spa™ treatments can be offered as a standalone modality or combined with other healing therapies such as massage, to provide a practical and enjoyable way to help clients remove these toxins from their bodies. Benefits of detoxification include weight loss, pain relief, increased alertness and energy, lustrous skin and eyes and enhanced immunity.
How steam helps you detoxify
Heat experienced during a Steamy Wonder Spa™ treatment speeds up the chemical processes in the body, making it one of the most simple and comfortable ways to rid the body of accumulated toxins. As the pores open up and the million of sweat glands start to excrete, the body rids itself of metabolic and other waste products. Sweat contains almost the same elements of urine, as for this reason the skin is sometimes called the third kidney.
Regular sweating can help detoxify your body as it rids itself of an accumulation of carcinogenic metals (lead, mercury, zinc, nickel and cadium) as well as alcohol, nicotine, sodium, sulferic acid and cholestrol.
"I work with many individual going through drug and alcohol recovery. The Steamy Wonder Spa™ provides them with an affordabl means to continue detoxing their bodies. It gives them a chance to feel self-improvement. All of my clients love the Steamy Wonder Spa™. No one doesn't like it."
Carrie Ann Wiedeman, The Center, a 12 step recovery center in Matairie, Louisiana
Sweating is such an effective de-toxifier that some physicians recommend home saunas to supplement kidney machines. Sweat also draws out lactic acid which causes stiff muscles and contributes to general fatigue.
Scientific Research
