Of course he is. If nothing else,he knows theater.
I wish he would just fade into the sunset.He now has the thought process of a 4 year old.
Let me guess... His daughter called him a racist/sexist at Thanksgiving dinner?
Of course Lindsey will soon follow.
Good thing we have an opposition party.
Senator, have your ever wondered, really wondered, why you are not president?
Good grief, people! McCain is smarter than you give him credit for. He, and a bunch of other congresscritters would love to listen to Rice and then aske her some questions, especially under oath.I suspect that McCain, Grahm and others have documents that are ready to expose any lies she may try to tell- and Hillary too!.I know it is fun for some to hate McCain and anyone else who makes reasonable statements, but get a grip!
They are already claiming that her detractors are racists, and they know that is the sure way to always get the wimpy Republicans to back down. Just watch what happens if Obama nominates Rice for Secretary of State.
If Sen. McCain were so smart, he would not so stupidly say that he is open to changing his mind on Susan Rice. He would instead announce something like this: "I would love to listen to Rice and then ask her some questions, especially under oath, as I have documents that will expose any lies she may try to tell- and Hillary too!" With thanks to Poster #7.Ramona (the Pest)
I seriously doubt there is any "strategic planning" going on here by the round heels. I´m betting they are just champing at the bit to give the "taupe dope" another win to prove they are not racists. Invitations are in the mail for the next WH dinner - RSVP.Somehow, I though zippy had already promised this position to some guy named alibaba....
Easy to understand this about-face - -- - they told Nutso Johnny that he would never be invited back to Meet The Press or Face The Nation if he didn´t behave.Works every time. There´s nothing Nutso values more than face time on leftist interview shows.
Why do I see McCain sitting in the back of the Senate chamber at age 95, drooling and nodding off and occasionally blurting out some unintelligible blathering?McCain is now like a used dryer sheet. You can keep throwing it in but it soon loses its effectiveness. I fear that like the old W.VA Byrd....he´ll refuse to go away and we´ll be blessed with his unwanted opinions for decades.
I just love a guy who stands on principle. Unless somebody calls him a racist.
So is Christopher Stevens. . .
Hey McQueeg! Do you realize that this is not Condi´s little sister? Somebody get the hook, already.
If the intent is to hear testimony and ask questions while she´s under oath, then more power to McCain. My problem, and I suspect the problem with many others, is that McCain has sided with his "good friends across the aisle" so many times on so many different issues it´s almost impossible to give him the benefit of the doubt. Any time he inserts himself into an issue I expect the worst and faintly hope for the best.
Open to having an incompetent as Sec. of State? Gheeze John, get back on your meds, PLEASE!!
Reaching out to his friends across the aisle...
Give ol´ media hog John a bit of face time on the news shows and he´ll say whatever you want.
McCain, the duplicitous POS that has forever been a straw in the wind.
Oh please go back to sleep, McPain.
This assumes he has a mind to change these days.
If John McCain had documents proving that Susan Rice had previously lied AND enough eloquence and intelligence to use those documents effectively enough so that Ms. Rice would walk out of his Senate hearings either disgraced or facing perjury charges for lying under oath, it would make sense for John McCain to want Obama to nominate Susan Rice for Secretary of State so that he could get at her in a public forum. But he DOESN´T.So it makes no sense for John McCain to want Susan Rice to be nominated.
#7 ... Don´t count on it.A truly *smart* man would never have announced his intentions in the first place. A truly *smart* man would just have worked to block her nomination at the appropriate time.
It was written by a CNN (Communist, Clinton, Corrupt News Network) writer so give it no credence.
McCain has too many friends across the Isle, and doesn´t recognize evil when it smiles and waves to him.
I mean, whoever Obama nominates is going to be an anti-American Marxist disaster, so what´s the difference? If Rice goes down, the next one, or ones, will be just as bad. This is what the voters wanted.
´´Jake´s always been too leaky a vessel for anyone to put much hope in.´´ Augustus McCrae
What, ...another Senate, ´fainting goat?!´ s/
#7, there is absolutely no evidence the GOP history that says you are right.
Kinda think it is time to quit looking at these GOP "leaders" as if there is always some "brilliant" poker playing or strategery in the works when they do as McCain just did this morning. Haven´t you noticed, in the end, when all is said and done, it is usually exactly as it looks - cowardly refusal to stand up to the Democrats.
#7. McCain is dumb. Asking her questions would mean that she HAS been nominated..that is unacceptable to many Americans. Besides, McCain and Graham can ask questions, get lied to, then they will vote FOR the candidate anyway. Lose, lose.
My, my, the trolls are out in force Good idea to read and listen to her dance around about releasing her resume and who she had worked for. I did watch it and listen - rice was for the mooslims and saying that the slaughter of our men was done because of a tv show that no one saw.
There was never any doubt about you caving McLame. I think we all just need to give up. We won´t ever get this country back on track unless we start voting these idiots out. Why is it people are so stupid to just keep voting for people like McLame, Boehner, Lindsey, when they don´t represent anything but their own interest.
This comes as no surprise. McCain has seldom failed to disappoint me. It has long been hard to think of him as presidential material. I am sorry that he was shot down and spent years in POW camps, but it is hard to make a logical connection between that and fitness for public office. Bad luck or poor flying and SAM-avoidance skills caused the shoot down and capture, for the aftermath and suffering of which all decent Americans should commiserate. He did his duty and paid mightily for it. Unfortunately, however, none of that means he will make a good Senator or president. I am unfamiliar in detail with his record, but every time he opens his mouth in public he seems to harm rather than help the Republican cause. He has always seemed something of a doofus to me. The voters of his district should give him a gold watch, a hearty round of applause, and retire him from public life. With friends like him, Republicans do not need enemies.
The "Keating Five" should still be in jail for what they did to the Savings & Loan industry.How is this man still a senator?
Bombard his office with these three words: "You´re a wuss".Or these two words: "Retire now". Make that four words by adding: "you wuss" to the end of it.
McCain your a old fool, Lindsey get your nose out of McCain´s butt!!
How to maximize his dwindling box office appeal.
Just an idle thought, but - the chicago slumlord, jarrett is running the show in d.c. and there is only room for one arrogant black woman in the white house, so could it be that jarrett set SusanBrown Rice up, sent her out to fib, and that would disqualify her from Secretary of State, thus allowing jarrett to keep her seat at the right hand of President zero??
Change his mind no problem he is a expert at doing thst. Rice is damaged goods andcannot be trusted to tell the truth.Her fault or not no other country will trust anything she says to be truth.
Number 13 you beat me to it. I fear that old John McCain will be in the senate doling out his wisdom for the next 20 yrs. He´ll be just like Bobby KKK Byrd was before he went tango uniform for his quick ride "down south". It was funny that other people couldn´t see that McLame was blowing smoke about Susan Ricepaddy. He really should retire but sadly due to his massive ego he will continue to drop RINO cakes everywhere he goes in the senate.

Will ripping my old 90's and 2000's CDs yield as good a quality as buying the MP3s today?
I have a bunch of old CDs from 1990 and 2000 that I want to rip as MP3s to my computer. I am not an audio buff, so perhaps this question is a bit irrelevant to my personal quality preferences, but ...

We've already been through the specifications of HD 7970 "Tahiti" in some detail that matters to those who can draw a performance hunch looking at them. This latest slide shows you the feature-set this GPU comes with. To begin with, there are three main categories of feature updates: Graphics CoreNext, AMD Eyefinity 2.0, and AMD APP Acceleration. AMD claims CoreNext to be a "revolutionary" new architecture that changes the way the GPU crunches numbers. For the past five generations (since Radeon HD 2000), AMD GPUs have used the VLIW (very-long instruction word) core arrangement. Even the latest VLIW4 introduced by Radeon HD 6900 series, was an evolution, than a revolution of that. CoreNext replaces VLIW stream processors with super-scalar Graphics Compute cores. This should translate to higher performance per mm² die-area, resulting in smaller GPUs, giving AMD room for greater cost-cutting if the competition from NVIDIA for this generation takes effect. The GPU itself is built on TSMC's new 28 nm silicon fabrication process. Next up, AMD confirmed support for PCI-Express 3.0 interface, that nearly doubles system bus bandwidth over the previous generation. To manage power, there's AMD's PowerTune technology that adjusts clock speeds both ways (both below and above specifications), to remain within a set power envelope. Then there's talk of ZeroCore technology, a feature that completely turns off the GPU when the operating system instructs it to "turn off monitors" when idling. This reduces power draw of the graphics card to under 3W, that's a 10X idle power draw reduction over the previous generation. This feature is also said to send non-primary GPUs when in a CrossFire setup (the second, third and fourth) to ZeroCore state while keeping the primary GPU (to which displays are connected) awake, when the user isn't running 3D-intensive tasks. Moving on to Eyefinity 2.0, there's talk of some big changes. First is DDM audio, a directional audio system that outs independent 7.1 channel audio streams through each of the HDMI and DisplayPort connectors. When you move an audio output-producing application's window from one display to another, its audio stream dynamically shifts from one connector to another. A practical application of this could be running an extra-long HDMI cable from your PC to your living room. We'll leave your creativity to do the rest of the thinking. Eyefinity 2.0 will keep support for 5 x 1 landscape arrangement. The system will now support HD3D, display of stereoscopic 3D from each member display while compensating for the display's angle to the user's perspective and bezel. Moving on, the APP runtime gets some feature updates that take advantage of the more powerful GPU compute architecture these GPUs come with. It will be designed for [heavy] computing loads (bitcoin magnets?), will feature SteadyVideo 2.0, which will further enhance videos after compensating the camera shake, Improved UVD could mean more video decoding features. Home 3D video is the next big thing, so the new UVD engine could address some performance issues related to that. Finally AMD will expand its developer ecosystem, more applications will support AMD APP. Source: DonanimHaber
I will love if one of the gpus turn off completely when on your desktop, it makes perfect sense. I wonder if the gpu fan will switch off as well? They better make sure it work properly if it does. lol. There are some really inovative features in the new card, lets hope there is some serious hp too...
So it would be safe to assume that W1zz is already playing with these right? If launch is the 22nd, he needs time for a review.
More than general computing, i'd like to know if it brings any new features to the graphics itself. Like HD6900 series brought EQAA anti-aliasing, new MLAA anti-aliasing which i totally like etc. Stuff like this. They just talk architecture but no one is mentioning such goodies which are at least for me far more important.
Hopefully wizz runs a few open cl demos for the lulz to give us an idea of how much better these are at compute.
Civ V for DirectCompute, i remember the HD 5000/6000 were poor at this compared to the nvidia counterparts
Im having a chuckle to myself right now, i have absolutely no reason whatsoever to upgrade my current gpu to one of these new rads, but i really doubt that kinda logic is going to stop me in a week or two somehow, hahaha! ps anyone want to by a 6950?
Looks like a pretty packed card. Wonder if it will have enough kick for a 1080P movie on one screen and video games on another.
well my 570 can currently do 720P netflix and play skyrim with no noticeable hit, so I dont see why not. I think that is more of a software thing though. Still have no idea how to bind programs to default sound devices in windows tho :shadedshu
The upgrade itch is sooo huge The possibility to have 120hz across eyefinity will be awesome, will need a lot of horsepower to run over 60fps though.
Awesome! I really like the new Eyefinity. Each connector gets its own sound. So I can have a movie running in the living room for the family while I game in my room!

Founded By Leading Experts in Cyber-Security, White Ops Aims to Redefine the Future of the Ad Tech Industry
NEW YORK, Oct. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Most people's email just isn't that interesting, but hackers compromise millions of computers a month in homes and offices nonetheless. So what are hackers really after? By putting "bots"-automation software, pretending to be human-on these millions of compromised computers, the bad guys are able to generate billions of fake ad views, resulting in staggeringly large cash payouts without detection or consequence. That is about to change. White Ops, a company launched by leaders in cyber-security and digital marketing, introduces today the first systematic solution for accurately isolating and eliminating bot-infected traffic from advertising campaigns.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131001/NY88450LOGO )
"We have spent over a year tracking the bad guys attacking advertising," says White Ops CEO, Michael Tiffany. "This code started out robbing online banks-but apparently, it's easier, safer, and more profitable to steal from the $36 billion spent yearly on online advertising."
Dan Kaminsky, Chief Scientist of White Ops and the well-known security researcher who led the all-time largest synchronized fix to the Internet, adds, "Ad fraud has become the primary cash out point for Internet fraudsters. This is what is getting average people's computers broken into, compromising their privacy and undermining the very foundations of Internet safety. Something must be done, and we're doing it."
Kaminsky continues: "Some people assume fraud is just a 'cost of doing business,' and is evenly distributed at some affordable single digit rate. What we are actually finding is wide variability-some sites are remarkably clean, with less than a percentage point of fraud. Others have fraud rates exceeding 90%." Tiffany concludes: "It's not merely the 'dregs of the Internet' that get infested. Major properties are getting raided. They often don't know. We're helping them find out and stop paying these thieves."
The fundamental consequence is that anyone who pays for advertising on the Internet is likely paying for ad impressions that never actually occur, rending the traditional advertising metric of CPM (cost per thousand impressions) meaningless.
The White Ops solution introduces the fundamental metric that matters: "Cost per Human," the real cost of reaching humans that will ultimately buy products or services-not bots, which do nothing but falsely inflate metrics.
By applying the techniques of Side Channel Analysis (the practice of looking at specific characteristics of a signal to determine the nature of the signal itself) to review several thousand variables in signals leaked during individual user sessions, White Ops is able to accurately differentiate, in real time, between a human and machine-driven ad request, regardless of the sophistication of the bot programmer. This approach varies from the methods generally employed by current fraud detection services, which rely on statistical and predictive analysis to detect impression fraud. While that type of anomaly detection has its strengths, it is usually dependent upon a large body of historical, static data that, at most, uncovers simple, unsophisticated methods of fraud. This makes it difficult to detect the more advanced bot types that incorporate randomness and change in their behavior models.
White Ops has leveraged an array of techniques, culled from the world of computer security, to develop what the company refers to as "botprints," for the full spectrum of impression and click fraud techniques. This real-time detection algorithm determines, with a high level of confidence, whether the browser was under the control of a bot during the time of the ad or page request.
White Ops is a member of the Internet Advertising Board (IAB) and works closely with the advertising industry as partners and allies in the fight against fraud and for better content on the Internet. Chairman of White Ops, Jon Bond, comments: "Bots have created a crisis of confidence in the online world that is threatening the entire ecosystem. We can't keep sweeping it under the rug. If clients knew the facts, they wouldn't stand for it."
White Ops is made up of an elite team of scientists and engineers from outside the ad industry, with a deep and significant background in cyber defense and security:
The White Ops team has pursued criminals across a variety of enterprises, from Defense projects to digital bank robbery, and is now focused on attacking ad fraud with its proprietary technology and methodology. White Ops works with brands and publishers to rank their advertising channels in terms of Cost per Human, allowing for more cost-efficient investment in digital advertising and dramatically improved results. White Ops allows clients to determine exactly how many humans are looking at their ads, and make informed decisions about how to avoid criminals and design the most impactful ad buys. A shadowy network of criminal programmers created bots to steal billions of advertising dollars. White Ops gives honest agents the capability and tools to fight back.
About White OpsWhite Ops is a pioneer in the detection of and systematic defense against ad fraud cyber criminals to provide advertisers with greater effectiveness in their online digital advertising spend. With the goal of making ad fraud unprofitable and unsustainable, White Ops employs its world-class expertise in cyber defense and security to attack the covert ecosystem of automated bots, disguised as human interaction, that fraudulently interacts with online advertisements to illegally divert advertiser revenue to cyber criminals. White Ops' leading edge technology combats criminal activity in a significantly different and more comprehensive way, differentiating between bot and human interaction to reduce the number of fraudulent clicks an advertiser pays for and increase their conversion rate. White Ops delivers the only ad impression metric that matters: Cost per Human.

Improve your reception of both VHF and UHF signals with the AP8275 from Winegard. This inline preamp mounts to you antenna mast for convenient placement. The 29dB average gain for VHF and 28dB for UHF easily overcome any signal losses due to the length of your coax cable.
A fast recovery diode and advanced circuitry virtually eliminates transistor burn-out. The high impact ABS housing protects the preamp from the elements.

Maybe Not a Good Choice for Everyone (see "Other Thoughts:")Pros: Newegg gets them here fast. Stands behind defective contents. Cons: First one I received (Order #132864675) the amplifier unit was defective. I was able to substitute the amplifier I use with my FM antenna to verify the rest of the equipment. Second one I received (Order #62048880) the PS-1403 Power injector was defective (19.91 volts in, 2.42 volts out to amplifier). Third one I received (Invoice Number: 88880298) let more channels through than the first one, but less than I get from a ~40 year old Channel Master CM-4228 8-Bay Bowtie antenna without amplification and way less than I get with my CM-4228 and a 40 year old Channel Master antenna amp in-line. BTW, in their day, the original 4228's were renowned for fair VHF performance especially high VHF. Other Thoughts: After 3 "bad" ones, I've done a little research. Its not shown in the Newegg specifications but Winegard rates the maximum total input @ 29,000 microvolts for VHF & 30,000 microvolts for UHF. What that means is that if there is a strong signal operating in close proximity to your antenna/AP8275 amplifier combination, the AP8275 may not have enough "Head Room" and saturate or be put into gain compression, blocking most signals. It could be a strong local TV station but doesn't necessarily have to be as long as it is within the bandpass of the amp. This could explain why ibglowin's and Techie Forever's second one worked for them and the rest of us are having problems. Or, maybe were just blessed with a run of defective amps. Did you find this review helpful? |
Two of these have been defective so far!Pros: Newegg gets them here fast. Stands behind defective contents. Cons: Of the 8 reviews from other customers 5 reported receiving non-functioning AP-8275's. My first AP-8275 review wasn't posted. Other Thoughts: @68 I'm getting too old to be climbing up & down a two story roof. Did you find this review helpful? |
paper weight 4 salePros: - easy to install Cons: - minimal to zero increase in signal strength Other Thoughts: Look elsewhere for a pre-amp unless you need an expensive paperweight. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Works perfect!Pros: Easy to install, highest VHF/UHF gain for the buck, improved design over previous models, MADE IN THE USA! Cons: None. Other Thoughts: I purchased this unit as 2 of my local digital stations reverted back to VHF after the digital transition and I only had a UHF pre-amp as well as a UHF only antenna. I am happy to report that just by switching out the pre-amps I am now picking up all my local DTV stations including ones broadcasting on CH 7, CH 9 and CH 13 VHF with a Channel Master CM-4228 UHF only antenna. All stations are coming in with a 70 - 90 % signal with a solid lock and NO breakups. I am 45 miles away from the towers with a good line of site. Did I mention I have this signal split to FOUR locations inside the house to boot! 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pros: Do not get this UNIT. Cons: I have tried this unit with a Winegard HD 8200U High Defintion Platinum VHF/UHF/FM Antenna. and there is no single, I also sent the unit back to winegard to try a different unit out lose of single with there amps. Other Thoughts: Channel Master i would have to say is the best. 0 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Update to D.O.A. report of 5/22/08Pros: Returned earlier DOA unit to NewEgg for replacement, and shortly thereafter received a new one. This one works OK. Cons: The FM trap switch and adjustment are on the mast-mounted part of this amplifier, so to change these settings after putting up the antenna you would have to take it down and put it up again, which might become necessary for TV if your area gets good FM radio reception. This is very awkward with tall masts - some other brands put this switch on the piece that sits inside next to the TV, a much better solution. Other Thoughts: If you have FM radio broadcasters nearby and don't turn on this amplifier's FM trap, some TV channels may be degraded. The frequency adjustment control needs a special tool which is not supplied. Don't forget to cover up the FM trap's control holes in the bottom of the amplifier with the supplied piece of tape to waterproof it. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pros: None Cons: Signicantly decreased signal strength. I have other Winegard products that are great, but this one doesn't work. Do not buy this product! 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
D.O.A.Pros: None for the one I received. Cons: Didn't work - TV reception with this booster installed was far worse than with no booster at all, lost all channels but one. I then replaced it with another brand which worked perfectly, so perhaps this particular Winegard unit was a bad one. However, as another user here reported a similar experience, it could be their quality control is becoming non-existent, as seems to be happening with many other formerly U.S.-made items that are now "Made in China". Did you find this review helpful? |
Pros: Works great, easy to hook up. Cons: Could have been made a little sturdier. Other Thoughts: I bought this to replace a cheap radio shack pre-amp. I hooked it up in about 10 minutes and noticed an immediate improvement. Now I can receive all my local channels plus all the Major networks in HD for free! I just recently cancelled my satellite/cable service and I couldn't be happier. Did you find this review helpful? |
simply didn't workPros: none Cons: Not only did it not improve reception, it degraded the signal significantly. Channels that were perfect without the preamp were barely visible with it. Other Thoughts: Winegard generally makes good stuff, so I have to assume I just got a bad one. 0 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Sage Grouse, Sagebrush and Science
They appear like ghosts before light: small groups of plump birds standing amongst the sagebrush. They puff up, tail feathers erect, chest extended. Large air sacs are inflated on their breasts, making a distinct plop.
I'm on the spring display grounds of the greater sage grouse, one of the arid West's most iconic birds. Each spring males gather on these grounds, known as leks, to impress females with their display.
You have to get up early in the morning and sit motionless in the high desert. But you'll be rewarded in the soft light of dawn, as sage grouse begin their show. It's not unusual 15 males vying for the attention of female grouse on a lek, a site that grouse use year after year. (I've seen more than 50 on a lek at The Nature Conservancy's Crooked Creek Preserve).
It's one of the world's most memorable wildlife spectacles. But finding it has grown increasingly difficult, as sage grouse continue to decline across their range.
Why are sage grouse on the decline? And is there anything we can do about it?

Jacksonville, NC, USA – 19-year old Patric Covey and his team are at it again! For their fifth year, he and Team YANTSU, the YouTube Association of NORAD Tracks Santa Users, will be providing kids and adults locations of Santa Claus as he circles the globe with the help of the NORAD Tracks Santa program. Team YANTSU is made up of fifteen members from the US and Canada spanning over four time zones with the most eastern in Halifax, Nova Scotia and the most western in San Jose, California.

Both our bar and liquid soaps are pure-castile, as they are all vegetable oil-based. The bar soap wrappers prominently state that they, too, are pure-castile, like our liquid soaps. The difference between the liquid and bar soaps is that the liquid soaps use potassium hydroxide to saponify the vegetable oils, versus sodium hydroxide used to make the hard bar soaps.
What is "Organic" and why is it so great? The term "organic" refers to both sustainable farming practices and to products ecologically made from materials produced on certified organic farms. According to federal standards, such products have to be at least 70% organic by non-water, non-salt weight. Organic products not only support sustainable farming, but also farm worker health and ecological processing methods.
Unfortunately, the hollow market-driven needs of some "natural" body care companies are making a mockery of organic principles. Underneath fluffy, feel-good "organic" floral waters and infusions, many "organic" body care products are really just composed of the same synthetic cleansers, conditioners and preservatives found in mainstream products, often in part or wholly derived from petroleum. Culprit companies are inflating organic content by counting ordinary distilled water in "floral water" as organic, a practice which is not allowed under the National Organic Program.
How should I use the liquid soap? For everyday body-washing: Get wet and pour several drops of soap full-strength onto hands-washcloth-loofah. Lather up, scrub down, rinse off, and tingle fresh and clean.
For other uses: Dilute from one part soap into 40 parts water for light cleaning, to cutting it in half or using it full strength for heavy-duty grease-cutting jobs.
For laundry: Use 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup for one regular load; adjust as needed depending on the hardness of your water. Adding a dash of baking soda makes it even better.
My liquid soap turned cloudy. What happened, and what should I do to clear it up again? Our liquid soaps are so concentrated that they are nearly solid. Thus, when the temperature drops to about 50° F, the fatty acids begin to solidify and cloud out. Just put the soap in a warm room, or warm water, and it will clear up at about 70° F. But clear or cloudy, the soap works just the same.
Do your soaps contain any foaming agents/detergents like Sodium Lauryl Sulfate? Absolutely not. Our soaps are 100% true pure-castile soaps. The high foaming lather of our soaps is from their high coconut oil content, which makes a more luxurious and rich lather than any detergent can ever create. "Pure-Castile" is your guarantee that what you are using is a real ecological and simple soap, not a complex blend of detergents with a higher ecological impact due to the waste stream during manufacture and slower biodegradability. Unfortunately, many synthetic detergent blends are deceptively labeled as "Liquid Soap" even when they contain absolutely no soap whatsoever.
Where can I buy your soaps internationally? Our soaps are available in Australia, Canada, England, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. We have listed the information for our international distributors for you to consult. Depending on the distributor, they may sell to you direct or refer you to a retailer in your area.
What are the uses and dilutions for your soap? Although the label claims eighteen uses, we do not have the space to write all these uses on the label and still accommodate for my grandfather's philosophy, as well as the new labeling laws that are periodically implemented. In reality, there are far more than eighteen uses, as people constantly write in to tell us about yet another utility of the soap. We won't detail them all, but below are some of the major uses and dilutions. For everyday body-washing: Get wet and pour soap full-strength onto hands-washcloth-loofah. Lather up, scrub down, rinse off, and tingle fresh and clean.
For other uses, dilute from one part soap into 40 parts water for light cleaning, to cutting it in half or using it full strength for heavy-duty grease-cutting jobs.
For shampoo, people have been telling us for years that they like using our soaps to shampoo their hair. Now, paired with our new Citrus Conditioning Rinse and Organic Leave-In Conditioning Crème, it works better than ever. For details, click here.
For the laundry, use 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup for one regular load; adjust as needed depending on hardness of water. I've been told that adding a dash of baking soda makes it even better. For pets, lather up well and apply to their body. Be careful to keep the soap and the lather away from their eyes. I find a mixture of peppermint and eucalyptus works best.
For toothbrushing, apply a drop or two of Dr. Bronner's Magic Soap (I prefer the peppermint) to a wet toothbrush. Brush as you normally would, rinsing accordingly. Be careful about using more than a couple drops of soap, as you might start foaming at the mouth (last time I checked "rabid chic" was not hip). Many people with sensitive or softer teeth like to use our soap as toothpaste because it lacks abrasives.
If you're very interested in specific ratios & uses, you could find the book "Clean House, Clean Planet" by Karen Logan and published in 1996 by Pocket Books division of Simon & Schuster. They give a blurb on how individual consumers can place orders by writing to Mail Order Department, Simon & Schuster Inc., 200 Old Tappan Road, Old Tappan, NJ 07675. She presents hundreds of great ideas and manners to clean the non-toxic way, which gives rise for many examples that use an all-natural liquid soap like Dr. Bronner's.
Why do we use organic grain alcohol in the lotions? Organic cane alcohol (ethanol) is used as a natural preservative at a level that helps absorption without being drying. Why do we no longer make 'naked' unscented lotion? Under US law, the certified organic cane alcohol we use must be "denatured" or rendered undrinkable by adding one of various approved substances, and the only options to do this naturally and organically are a small amount (~0.18%) of peppermint, lavender or rosemary essential oils. Our Lavender Coconut variety is "lightly scented" as it contains only the small amount of organic lavender oil needed to denature the organic alcohol. Since no other fragrance is added, the natural delicious coconut fragrance of our organic extra virgin coconut oil combines with the small amount of lavender for a subtle, sublime scent.
Why do you use organic beeswax in your lip and body balms? Although our line is otherwise vegan, we do use certified organic beeswax in the lip and body balms. We could not find a certified organic plant-based wax, and Sue anyway insisted that she has not found a plant-based alternative that can substitute for the amazing qualities of beeswax: based on her experience and extensive training and mentoring under the Native American herbalist Keewaydinoquay, Sue formulated her original lip balms with just avocado oil and beeswax, because beeswax has natural antibacterial and sunblock qualities and provides a superior barrier to keep moisture in. We buy our certified organic beeswax from New Zealand, and we checked to make sure that the queens are not killed each year as happens sometimes with conventional beekeeping to maximize yields.
Can I shampoo and condition my hair organically? 1) Shampoo with your favorite Dr. Bronner's soap. True soaps clean hair well but can leave a tangly look & feel; however…
2) Rinsing with our new Organic Shikakai Conditioning Rinse results in spectacular look and feel! Just stir 1- 2 capfuls of this rinse into a cup of water, close eyes and slowly pour while massaging into hair. Keep hand combing hair until hair feels entirely sleek (~30 seconds). Rinse out well. Repeat if necessary in extra hard water conditions or with longer hair.
3) After drying lightly with a towel, massage in Dr. Bronner's new USDA Organic Leave-In Conditioning Crème for added silkiness and softness.
What are the 18-in-1 uses? Dr. Bronner recorded the "18 in 1 uses" on his label, which we have left mostly intact since his passing in 1997; however, people have told us many, many more uses for it than that. Here is his version. A more paraphrased one follows.
Dr. Bronner's version:
How Is Dr. Bronners Virgin CoconutOil Made?Our VCO is made in a dry process. It exclusively uses coconuts that are grown and harvested by Serendipols farmers. After the harvest, nuts mature for 3 weeks on the farm or at the factory. The outer, fibrous husks are removed first, and within 48 hours the nuts are then processed into oil. After shelling and washing, the coconut kernel is ground and air-dried in a fluidized bed dryer. Within 12 hours, the grated dried kernel is expeller pressed. The oil then goes through a two stage filter process to remove solids and produces clear oil. Serendipols entire operation is certified organic and fair trade by IMO. It is also certified for food safety under ISO 22000 and HACCP by SGS. To read more FAQ's on our fair trade organic coconut oil, download our Coconut FAQ PDF.

The UNICEF Tap Project
Clean Water for Children Around the World
We turned the world's largest social network into a virtual water network connecting people from all over the country. Together, we have raised nearly $800,000 and counting. This amount can provide 30 million days of clean water for children around the world.
Still, more than 750 million people don't have access to safe, clean water, and more than 2.5 billion people live without a proper toilet. The lack of these basic necessities isn't just inconvenient—it's lethal.
Every day, nearly 2,000 children under the age of five die from diseases directly linked to contaminated water, a lack of sanitation, or poor hygiene. . We believe that number should be ZERO. It's not too late to help stop these preventable deaths. Donate to the UNICEF Tap Project today!

How Does the UNICEF Tap Project Provide Clean Water?
The UNICEF Tap Project is a nationwide campaign that provides clean water and adequate sanitation to children around the world. With just $5, UNICEF can give one child safe drinking water for 200 days. Currently, UNICEF works in more than 100 countries around the world to improve access to safe water and sanitation facilities in schools and communities and to promote safe hygiene practices. Since 1990, thanks to the work of UNICEF and its partners, more than 2 billion people have gained access to clean drinking water.

National Sponsor: Giorgio Armani Fragrances
For the fourth year, Giorgio Armani Fragrances returned as the National Sponsor of the UNICEF Tap Project with its "Acqua for Life" campaign. This "water for life" campaign began in 2010 with Giorgio Armani Fragrances' iconic cologne, Acqua di Giò for Men, to raise awareness and funds to help UNICEF improve access to safe, clean water for children worldwide. In 2013, Acqua di Giò returned, along with Acqua di Gioia for women, Acqua di Giò Essenza, and Acqua di Gioia Eau Fraiche.
During the month of March, fans of these fragrances were invited to join the company in supporting UNICEF through the Acqua for Life campaign. Giorgio Armani Fragrances donated $5 (enough to provide a child with clean, safe drinking water for 200 days) to the U.S. Fund for UNICEF for each Acqua di Giò, Acqua di Gioia, Acqua di Giò Essenza, and Acqua di Gioia Eau Fraiche spray cologne or gift set purchased in the 50 United States, Puerto Rico or D.C. through authorized distributors from March 1-31.
In addition, the company also donated $1 for each of the first 50,000 people who "liked" the "Acqua for Life" Facebook page at www.facebook.com/acquaforlife from March 1-31. Giorgio Armani Parfums committed to a minimum guaranteed donation of $500,000 from all Acqua for Life promotions during this period.
The U.S. Fund for UNICEF does not endorse any brand or product. No portion of the purchase price is tax deductible.
Other Supporters and Partners
Founding Agency Partner Droga5 and Media Supporter MediaVest also supported the initiative, once again creating a high-profile, pro-bono ad campaign that will place the UNICEF Tap Project in various media throughout the nation.
And, a special thank you to Elephant Ventures for implementing the UNICEF Tap Project mobile site.
