Capresso CoffeeTEC Digital Coffee Maker – Review
October 11, 2005
Are you looking for all the bells and whistles? Do you want a machine that not only makes coffee correctly, it does it with style? Do you like steamed and frothed milk in your coffee, but not quite enough to go to an espresso machine? If so, then the Capresso CoffeeTEC may well be your dream machine.
Weighing in at 12 lbs, complete with stainless steel thermal carafe, goldtone filter, a milk steamer and a digital timer, the CoffeeTEC is probably the Cadillac of the drip brewing stable.

Presto Scandinavian Coffee Maker – Review
October 10, 2005
There's a lot to be said for a device that does one thing, and does it well — and even more to be said for one that does it cheaply — plus it's even somewhat attractive.
The Presto Scandinavian Coffee Maker falls right smack into the middle of this definition. It's not fancy, and it doesn't have a lot of features, but it brews coffee well, and the price (under $50, most places) is tough to beat.

Zojirushi EC-BD15 Fresh Brew Coffee Maker Review
August 21, 2005
I finally ended up with a decent "backup" to my Starbucks Barista Aroma drip brewer – the Zojirushi EC-BD15 Fresh Brew.
I've been a fan of Zojirushi for awhile now — they make the rice maker for cooking sushi rice (or other kind of rice). Given that their other big product lines are some very fine thermal carafes and hot-water dispensers, it's not a real surprise that they make an excellent thermal carafe coffee maker as well.
Unlike their fuzzy-logic rice makers (which are smarter than many of the computers I've ever owned), the Fresh Brew is about as basic as a coffee maker gets — the only piece of programmability on the thing is a timed brew feature, and since that's more than I'll ever use, I don't mind the lack of other electronic bells and whistles that cost more and could fail.
Cuisinart DCC-1200 Brew Central Coffee Maker Review
August 8, 2005
Scouting around online, I ran into a fair number of coffee fans saying nice stuff about the Cuisinart DCC-1200 Brew Central coffee maker.
I purchased one yesterday, and can't for the life of me figure out why anybody likes this piece of junk.

Sending for backup
August 8, 2005
With the Barista Aroma on injured reserve, it's a critical issue to get a backup brewer in here stat — it's not like I'm going to get much work done this week without coffee…
At least it will give me the opportunity to do a new review or two…
So much for Starbucks
August 7, 2005
Well, I managed to break my Starbucks' Barista Aroma.
The "pour" button on the thermal carafe (which never went down terribly far anyway, making pouring a relatively slow experience) gave up the ghost; the top of the carafe lid came away from the bottom, and as a result, the button lost all of the spring tension.
Since this also causes the "carafe is in place" button to not stick up properly, the whole thing announced itself early this morning by the coffee maker determining that the carafe was not in place, filling the grounds basket with hot water, and then proceeding to flood the kitchen counter with hot water and coffee grounds…

Starbucks Barista Aroma Review
March 25, 2005
I finally sent off my beloved Barista Aroma Quattro 4 cup drip brewer to a good home, and upgraded to the newly revised 8 cup Barista Aroma.
I'm glad I did — and I'm glad I waited.
The previous revision of the Barista Aroma & the Quattro were both very simple coffee makers that made a damn good cup of coffee. Better (in my opinion) than most of the consumer coffee makers I've tried, mostly because they brew at an adequate temperature, and seem to do a good job of distributing water over the grounds.
The new revision of the Barista Aroma makes it essentially a smaller version of the 12 cup Aroma Grande, and it has inherited a few new features from the bigger machine, most of them to good effect.

Philips Senseo Review
February 26, 2005
I don't want to come off like I'm a Coffee Snob, but the fact is, I probably am. I drink enough of the stuff that I've gotten rather picky over the years about what it tastes like.
A couple of years ago, I recieved one of the Cuisinart "all-in-one" brewers, which I truely enjoyed at the time – the thing even ground its own beans.. Due to various circumstances, I'd been drinking some rather hideous coffee at the time, and it was a nice step up. Lately, I've come to loathe the thing, though, and I'd hoped that the Philips Senseo would be a decent step up…
Really, really good coffee is dependent on a handful of factors. In no particular order, these are:
- Good quality fresh beans. The variety and the roast are much a matter of taste, of course. But a few days after coffee is roasted, flavors begin to be lost. Too long a delay, or improper storage, and you end up with tasteless coffee. Once coffee is ground, flavor evaporates even faster — ideally, you should grind just before brewing (not at the store, and not when somebody puts it into a can).
- A grind appropriate to the brewing method — ranging from fairly coarse for french press, medium for automatic drip, to fine for espresso.
- Proper water temperature (around 190°-205° Fahrenheit) during the brewing process. Brew with colder water, and you have sour coffee. Brew with hotter water, it tastes burt.
- Proper ratio of grounds to water contact time — not enough water, and you end up with an overly-strong cup of coffee. Not enough grounds, and you end up over-extracting — the flavors we
want are in the first 2/3 of what can be extracted — go beyond that, and you get a lot of bitter flavors (not necessarily weaker coffee, just bitter — if you want weaker, don't use less grounds, just dilute
it after it's brewed.)
- Get it off the heat — once it's brewed, if coffee is allowed to set on a burner, it goes bad quickly.
Follow these rules, and you're pretty much assured of making a good cup of coffee. Fail to follow them, and you're drinking drek. The Cuisinart made a cup of coffee substantially better than instant (what isn't?), but the fact was that it brewed too cold, losing a lot of flavor, and it didn't use an adequate amount of grounds for a full pot. It was also a pain to keep clean (the grinder was in the thing, after all). Over time, these things got worse. Last but not least, you had to make a full pot for it to work even partially well. Since I'm the only coffee drinker here, I'd make a pot, put it in a vaccuum carafe, and end up throwing half of it away as it got too cold or aged.
So, I really, really, wanted to like the Philips Senseo. Outside of being a rather striking piece of kitchen-sculpture, it promised to do just what the doctor ordered — brew one cup at a time of proper coffee, fresh and hot, in about two minutes. Even better, it promised to produce pressure-brewed "crema coffee" — essentially coffee with a head on it, just like some little Italian bistro. All of which it does. Doing a little web research, these things have taken Europe by storm, and they're getting ready to repeat the process here.
As I said, it does produce fresh and hot proper coffee, in about two minutes — with very little cleanup. It's just BAD coffee. I don't think there is anything necessarily wrong with the design, it's just the coffee itself.
The Senseo uses a "pod" system — you buy the coffee in little round disks with about a tablespoon of coffee in them, formed right into a filter — kind of like a specialized little teabag. There's nothing new about "pods" — there have been standardized sizes of coffee pods available for espresso makers for several years.
The Senseo pod is rather different, however. It is a proprietary size (you can't use others), and the only coffee available for them is made by Douwe Egberts — a company Americans probably know better as Sara Lee. These proprietary pods are available in four varieties — mild, medium, dark, and decaf.
As you may have guessed, I don't have much use for decaf or mild. As far as I'm concerned, the other two ought to be referred to as Bitter (medium) and Extra Bitter (dark). The coffee is hot, aromatic, attractive (that crema thing), and bitter. I like a robust coffee taste (I believe that Columbia Supremo is the coffee of the gods) , but I dispise bitter coffee. The first cup of the day out of the thing isn't bad, but I drink about 8 cups (well, about four, with the cup I use). After the second one or so, this begins to grate on me. Even more so, in that the medium isn't terribly robust, but the dark is too bitter to drink, as far as I'm concerned. So I'm drinking bitter, weak coffee. Blech. I'd been in hopes that some of this is just inadequate "seasoning", and that it would improve as the unit was broken in, but it's been weeks now, and I think this is what it's going to produce.
The other big problem is these damn pods are expensive. It takes two to brew an 8 ounce cup of coffee. At around $7.50 for an 18-pack, that's around 8.5 cents an ounce. That makes a 64 ounce a day coffee jones about a $5.30 a day experience. That's a lot of money for coffee you don't much like.
Hope springs eternal, however. An outfit in Europe has apparently made a little reusable device that will allow you to use your own fresh-ground coffee in the Senseo. They were having problems organizing shipping to the US, but theoretically the kinks are worked out of that now, and I've got one on its way. I'll report back if it improves the situation.
In the meantime, I hate to overly complain about the Senseo. It's a remarkable little unit, and for the right person, it's probably perfect. If you're currently drinking "grocery store canned coffee" and are looking to step up to something a little more pleasant, this might be just the ticket for you. If you're not a pot-a-day coffee junky and would just like a cup or two a day of fresh brewed coffee without all of the mess, bother, and cleanup, this thing might be hard to beat. For me, though, it falls disappointingly short of the mark.
Starbucks Barista Aroma Quattro Review
July 10, 2004
Lest my Philips Senseo Review give you the wrong impression, not everything is bitter in the world of coffee around here.
Succumbing to my frustration with the Senseo the other day, I was out and decided to stop into Starbucks for a real cup of coffee.. Okay, well, a better cup of coffee than I've been brewing lately, anyway.
While I was there, I glanced at their automatic drip coffee makers, thinking evil thoughts about the coffee that lurked at home. Off to one side from the rest of them was a half-pint version of the Barista Aroma — a four cup coffee maker with a stainless steel thermal carafe. Looking at it a little closer, it didn't have any digital timers, automatic grinders, turn signals or infrared remotes. It had one button — an on switch.
Intrigued, I found out that this was the Barista Aroma Quattro, a coffee maker they are discontinuing and selling out. In fact, it was their last one, and if I wanted it, I could take it home for $25. Twenty five bucks at Starbucks? Geeze, that's like what — three cups of coffee? How wrong could this be? So I took it home..
The Pros
After running it through the manual's seasoning process, and cracking open a fresh bag of Columbia Supremo, I was pleasantly amazed with the coffee this little thing makes. Using a medium grind, and a paper filter (they offer gold metal ones, if you're inclined that direction), it nicely holds the proper amount of coffee, and has a brew time of around four minutes, which appears to be about right. Measuring the temp of the coffee in the carafe immediately after brewing, it comes out at a toasty 197°F, which is right in the zone. The coffee is excellent.
A four cup pot (about 20 oz, actually) is just about perfect, as far as I'm concerned. That's about what I can typically drink out of a thermal carafe before it gets too cold or too aged and I'm liable to brew a fresh pot anyway. As mentioned, the unit only has a single switch — it turns on, brews, and immediately shuts off (there's no hot plate to overcook your coffee) — it doesn't appear possible to accidentally leave it on (one less thing to worry about.)
The Cons
Despite its simplicity, this little thing is finicky. It may even go all the way to persnickety. If you don't place the thermal carafe on the brewer exactly right, you are going to end up with a counter full of hot coffee. It's not a terribly big deal once you figure out exactly how it snaps in, but woe is the person who isn't paying attention.
If you're messing with one of these, do some dry assembly with the top open, and watch exactly how the spout of the carafe presses against the "interrupt brew" mechanism (the little spring lever that lets you pour a cup halfway through). If this does not engage properly, then the filter basket will fill with hot water, overflow, and you'll have a mess everywhere.
Alternatively, you can recognize that stopping a brew halfway through is like stopping a chef halfway through cooking a meal so that you can eat a half-cooked dish, and remove the little interrupt mechanism altogether. It's probably a violation of the warranty, and I can't recommend you do it, but the little lever with the stopper detaches from its retainer with a simple pull. Carefully retain the lever, stopper, and spring in case you need them later, and you'll have made the whole thing much more bulletproof — but you'll have to cultivate patience and wait for it to complete brewing before grabbing a cup afterwards.
You also need to be careful of your grind — too fine a grind, at least with the Starbucks brand paper filters, and the filter basket will fill instead of drip, with the same results as above. For me, 10 seconds with a blade grinder (yes, I'll have to break down and buy a burr grinder one day) is about all the finer it needs to be.
Last but not least, pay attention to how tight the top of the carafe is screwed on. The proper position for brewing appears to be backed off just slightly from finger-tight, with the little vertical ridges between the "open" and "closed" mark lined up with the spout.
All good things require a little learning, and as long as you're paying attention, the odds of ending up with a counter full of coffee appear to be minimal — certainly a small price to pay for a decent cuppa. Speaking of price, Starbucks web site still lists this thing at $85, which is about 20 degrees north of damn expensive for what it is (you can find it elsewhere online for about $70). On the other hand, for $25 bucks, this thing is an amazing bargain. I was told that the closeout price is supposed to be $29, which is still a good deal — they just gave me a little more off since it was the last one. Regardless of closeout, it does still have a 2 year warranty, which is longer than most coffee makers have ever lasted for me.
I don't know if you'd get me to part with $70 – $85 for this thing, but if you have a need for a simple, good 4 cup coffee maker, and are willing to be just a little careful learning how to use it (or willing to modify it), I'd run (not walk) to the nearest local Starbucks (which is what, a maximum of 60 yards these days in most cities?) and see if you can catch one of these things on closeout.

Energy Transfers
These couple weeks in science class we're learning about energy. Today we learned about energy transfers (how energy can change or transfer) and we got to play with toys (yay), but we also had to record in ways how energy transfers (aww). The way we recorded is we got a booklet of pieces of paper with five empty circles that we explain what happens and we connect the circles by one of the eight different types of energy. We got two minutes to play and two minutes to record the information. We had five stations and we rotated from station to station in small groups so the process took roughly 25 minutes.
The domino station is where, well, we got dominos. I'm a big fan of dominos so this was one of my favorite stations. The first thing my partner, Dina, and I did was line up the dominos so that they could knock each other over when we push one domino. We recorded that as motion energy (when the dominos move), gravitational energy (when the dominos fall down), and sound energy (dominos make noise when they fall down).
Another great station was the toy car station. We got mini, multicolored cars (the type that if you pull the backward and let go they run by themselves). I was pretty fun making the cars run into each other and "accidently" making them fly of the table. Dina and I recorded pulling the cars back as elastic energy when we let go of the cars it was motion energy and when they bumped into or fell off of something it was sound energy.
The most annoying, noisy and round toy is the Magic Ball. You might think that is literally "magic" but it is just a ball. But there are a lot of things happening in this white object. You put your fingers on the metal strips and it will make the most annoying sound that you have ever heard and a red light will flicker on and off. This works because there are two batteries in the ball and the metal strips are electrons making a circuit with your body. The battery is connected to RASS (Really Annoying Sound System) and the red light bulb. This could not be possible without energy. When you put your fingers on the metal strips it will make a circuit which is electric energy, then the batteries starts that is chemical energy, RASS turns on, sound energy. And the light turns on, that is Light energy. That is who the "Magic Ball" works.
What is that in the air? Well those things are the frog jumpers. They jump up to 1 foot! Just push the frog and up, up and away! This works because there is a suction cup connected to the frog. On the suction cup you will find a spring, that is because then the frog will jump. But energy is always there. You push the frog down which is Elastic energy, then the frog jumps Motion energy, the frog falls that is gravitational energy!
When you think of a generator you think of a gigantic electric thing. But what we played with was not like that at all!!!! It was a tiny generator. When you turn the handle sound comes out of it but you are also making it move so that means it is Sound and Motion energy. The engine goes on producing heat and electric energy! Then the light bulb goes on, that is light energy.

An Interview with Jocelyn Osorio, Star of Stagknight
by Mike Haberfelner
February 2006
... also check out my
article on Stagknight, Jocelyn's first feature ...
is online now,
featuring trailers, pics,
wallpapers, games
and best
of all,
a chance
to win a dinnerdate with
it out at http://www.stagknight.com
Quick Links
1. Your film
debut, the horror-comedy Stagknight by Simon Cathcart [read
Simon Cathcart interview here], is just months away
from release. What can you tell us about the movie, and your role in
particular ?
The movie is comic-horror.
My character is
reluctanly sucked into a stagnight party where a group of blokes are
camping in the woods for the
weekend having fun. My character, Blossom, agrees to go along with her
friend, Ginger, who has been engaged by the boys to provide dancing
enternainment. Anyway as part of the fun we decide to spook the
guys, except the joke backfires, which is where it all starts to get
scary. In the end, I am one of the few survivors ...
2. The shoot was
pretty much an outdoor night shoot in not-so-warm conditions. What can you
tell us about the filming of Stagknight ?
It was indeed
very cold. In some of the scenes in the woods I am actually shaking, not
because I was scared but because I was freezing! But the atmosphere and
morale on the set were great - somehow we always had a good time.
3. You were pretty much the only girl thrown into the
woods with 10 guys. Did that feel at all weird ?
Yes I did feel a
bit exposed ! But the cast was fantastic. They were all very supportive.
It didn't take me long to warm up and feel comfortable among the other
fellow actors.
4. Contrary to
many other actresses in horror films you studied drama for three years and
have, as I understand, a background in theatre. What made you choose a
horror comedy for your first film, and did you have any difficulties come
to terms with your role ?
Yes. I have a degree in Acting at Italia Conti. Stagknight was truly unexpected because
I was still studying when Simon Cathcart offered me a short scene at the
begining of the film only. I was very lucky to have had that opportunity, but
after one day of shooting he
approached me together with the producer, Rob Mercer [read
Rob Mercer interview here], to offer me the main
role, Blossom. I remember I thought about it all night, because
next day I had to go to Drama school. But I knew I wanted to do it, after
nearly three years studying theatre mainly, it was very refreshing to have
the opportunity to create a film, and that it is what I wanted to pursue
really. So I was thrown to Blossom very quickly and I had virtually no time
to get to know her. But soon we came to terms and the times that I enjoyed
being her were countless.
5. In your
private life, do you watch horror films at all, and if yes, were there any
you found particularly good or bad ?
Up to now, I have
not been a big horror fan. But I enjoyed Saw and also Shaun of the
Dead which made me laugh a lot!
6. Would you like
to do more horror flicks or horror comedies, or would you rather do
something more serious and substantial ?
I have enjoyed
doing Stagknight and
it always going to be my first movie, so it will have a
special part in my heart. But what really drives me is Drama, Realism,
Naturalism, Romanticism, Modern drama and fiction. So yes, you are
more likely to see me doing something more serious and substantial in the
7. Are there any
dream roles for you (both in theatre and in film and regardless of how
impossible it would be to play them) ?
roles! I would love to play a role in a Spanish fictional movie like Zorro but also
biographical films like Frida (Salma Hayek). I am equally
interested in theatre plays by Spanish or South American authors like
Gabriel Garcia Marquez or Federico Garcia Lorca as well as Italian authors
like Luigi Pirandello. My favourite character to play would be the Step-daughter in

8. Who are your
biggest influences in acting ?
I really don't
have acting heroes, but I admire Rachel Weiss, she is so natural and
beautiful. Mel Gibson is so
daring as an actor and director. Tony Collette, I loved her performance in
Japanese Story. Robert Duvall. Charlize Theron. Cornie Nielsen
in Gladiator. Alec Guinness. Diane Lane, she was truly amazing in Unfaithful. Glenn Close, she was so chilling in
House of
the Spirits. Maria Grazia Cucinotta in Il Postino. I have
also watched Turkish films and I think their actors are very good, my
favourite is Head On. Also Palestinean films like Uzak, and Angel on The Right
which is from
Tajikistan. I find it very refreshing watching these types of films. I should
not forget to mention Chilean cinema, which is really developing - Los Debutantes is a very good film.
9. Any future projects you'd like to plug ?
Umm ... my next
movie with Simon Cathcart. It is called Runners, my character
is an aeroplane hostess in a fantasy-action film shot by the end of this

Bush, Fox disagree on a more open border
By Gary Susswein
American-Statesman Capitol Staff
Saturday, August 26, 2000
DALLAS -- Mexican President-elect Vicente Fox spent the day in Texas on Friday, preaching to his northern neighbors about closing the wage gap and opening the border between Mexico and the United States.
But the Texan whose opinion may matter most -- Gov. George W. Bush -- appeared unconverted to Fox's vision.
After an hourlong meeting at the University of Texas at Dallas, Bush praised Fox's leadership and agreed the two nations should strive to raise wages in Mexico. But he stopped well short of embracing some of Fox's other ideas.
"I made it very clear to Vicente Fox that we will enforce the borders so long as I am the governor and if I am the president," said Bush, who plans to meet again with Fox soon after the November election if he is elected president.
"His vision -- I don't know if it will work or not -- but what I appreciate is it's an optimistic vision, a vision that says . . . when the wage differential narrows, then perhaps it's a strategy we can explore jointly," he said.
Fox met earlier this week with Canadian officials as well as President Clinton and Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore.
Fox's first visit to Texas since his July 2 victory allowed him to meet with Mexican American leaders who had supported him during his campaign and with Texas businessmen he now hopes will support his country.
Along the way, he laid out his goals for the coming term, starting with making the North American Free Trade Agreement an equitable trade partnership among Canada, Mexico and the United States and creating more jobs in his country.
In the short term, Fox supports allowing more Mexican workers in the United States and giving amnesty to undocumented Mexicans already here, which Bush has opposed.
In the long term, he wants the United States and Mexico to create a joint vision of North America for the first decades of the 21st century, develop an integrated policy to regulate immigration and control drug trafficking and then open the borders to allow more free trade and access to jobs.
"Someday, when we have narrowed the differences in development, narrowed the differences in income, narrowed the differences in per-capita gross product, then we can think of opening the borders to the free flow of people," Fox, who will take office Dec. 1, said at a joint news conference with Bush. "We need to comply with many objectives from here to there."
Many of the Mexican Americans who met with -- or tried to catch a glimpse of -- Fox on Friday welcomed his long-term vision but said it may be too soon to talk about some of those ideas, especially given the resistance among American leaders.
"It looks like a long, long-term thing to do. I don't think people are willing to do that just yet," said Antonio Camacho, 38, of Dallas, a computer consultant who showed up at the Dallas Museum of Art, where Fox met with community leaders.
Camacho and other Mexican Americans hailed Fox as a voice of change for a country many say has long had too much corruption, crime and poverty. They praised his recent electoral victory over the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, which had held power in Mexico for seven decades.
"To see the first leader not from the PRI is remarkable. It's history," said Ruben Cardenas, 48, who moved from Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, to Dallas 27 years ago and also showed up at the art museum to catch a glimpse of Fox. "Right now, it's good history. Hopefully, it will remain the same."
After Fox's meeting with Mexican Americans at the museum, supporters gave the president-elect a rousing ovation, sprinkled with chants of "Viva Fox."
They were especially enthusiastic about his promise to be president of all Mexicans around the world. He said he would establish an office to serve as a liaison between his government and the 18 million Mexicans living in the United States.
"He said he will be the president of 118 million Mexicans," said Dallas Deputy Mayor Steve Salazar. "There's only 100 million people in Mexico, meaning he will look beyond the borders to make sure Mexicans in America are represented."

Information on Face PaintingOriginally Written in 1999
This is my opinion and should not be construed as the only input and suggestion to the topics of face & bodypainting. If you are a professional FacePainter and want to talk or ask questions, please contact me. This is FAR from a definitive study of facepainting and is meant mostly as a discussion for those looking at hiring facepainters.
Before you Hire a Facepainter
What you need to provide
Types of Art Work
Application Techniques
Types of Paint
Face & Body Paints
Other Paints
Special Effects
Before you Hire a FacePainter….
… talk to them live
This can be on the phone or in person, but I think it is important to do more than just accept a referral from a Party Store, Agency or Internet web site.
… get a "feel" for them
While talking to the artist, get a feel for them: are the friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Remember, this person is going to be interfacing with your children, friends or employees and is representing you so you should be comfortable with them.
… ask what type of paint do they use (see below)
Its your children's skin: Make sure you know what is going on it. (see below) Make sure that they are using FDA approved paints, whether Hand painting, Airbrush or Temporary Tattoo inks. We use only FDA approved paints. Except for the temp tattoo inks, they all wash off with soap and water. The Temp tattoo inks are easily removable with alcohol.
… find out if they use airbrush or brush
This has an impact on the number of faces they can do in a limited amount of time as well as the type and style of work they are doing, It is also a consideration with respect to the age of the children (my opinion) and what you need to do to set up for them.
Hand painting is very unique and creative. It is most appropriate for most venues. Our artists can paint between 13 and 18 fullface or cheekart designs in an hour. Each design is hand created.
Airbrush painting using stencils can paint upwards of 45 to 60 designs in an hour. The designs are limited by the number of stencils the artists uses. The amount of designs painted will also be limited by the number of airbrushes used. We have 8 brush systems so that we do not have to flush an airbrush everytime we change colors. If the artist only has 1 or 2 brushes, she will have to take time to clean out the brush every time she wants to apply a different color paint. Due to the expense of the equipment ($1000's) , airbrushing usually cost more than hand painting.
… ask for references if you don't know them
If you haven't seen their work and you don't know them, ask the painter for references. They may be limited, as many clients don't want to be bothered, but once again the purpose is for you to feel comfortable with the artist.
… ask them what type of work they do (cheek art, Full Face, etc)
You should have a clear understanding of what you can expect as far as the type of work they do. (See Below)
… ask for samples of their work (website or pictures)
You have the right to see the quality of the work you are going to be paying for so take a look at their work. Know what you are paying for!!!
… get a firm quote on the services and what is included
Make sure you have a firm agreement up front; it prevents conflicts and problems later on. Quotes can be on an Hourly Basis or as a Flat Rate. Typically Flat rate is based on the number of faces to be painted, the Type of Work or a Day Rate. Rates vary greatly based on where you are located so PLEASE don't ask me what is fair. I can quote rates for my work only in the area in which I work. NOTE: After the Artist is finished, if you liked their work and their personality at your party or event, you can show your appreciation with a TIP… we always appreciate it.
Space – Depending on the type of painting, airbrush or other, and the type of event – Party, corporate promotions, festival – you will need to provide a washable surface, a couple of chairs, water, paper towels and something for the artist to drink (at least it's a nice offer to make).
Activities – Facepainting is done one at a time. It can take a while (most of our designs take 3 to 5 minutes) so it is best to plan other activities for the children while faces are being painted. The best activities are the ones that allow children to pop in and out as their turn for painting arrives. Many children (and adults) can literally sit for hours watching the painting… but best not to count on it.
Supervision – Keep an eye on the children, including deciding the order for painting. The artist needs to concentrate on the painting and should not be expected to determine who is next nor keep the kids from getting unruly – WHICH, as the father of 5 children, I KNOW NEVER HAPPENS. Personally, I usually start asking the next child in line what they want painted a minute or 2 before I am finished with the current face just to minimize time by making certain the next child has decided what they want before its their turn.
Cheek Art – Things painted on cheeks, or portions of a persons face (and arms). My general rule is that up to ¼ of a persons face is cheek art, and anything over that is Full Face.
Full Face – Anytime a large portion of the face is covered, I call it full face painting. Also, if a base coat of paint is applied to the entire face, I consider it full facepainting.
NOTE: It takes about the same amount of time for Full Faces or Cheekart. Many cheekarts actually take longer than full faces.
Parts – This is often rolled into cheek art category. It includes arms, legs, hands, neck, shoulders, backs, bellybuttons, feet, etc. Usually it refers to doing designs in a limited scale to these area.
Full body – Fairly obvious. This is where the entire body or multiple body parts are painted.
Character – So your kids want Mickey Mouse painted on their cheek or Elmo painted on their arms. This is character painting and the important thing to remember is that the characters image may be copyrighted and protected under the laws of the U.S. So what… well, just thought it is important for you to know that in case someone says, " sorry I can't do that because…."
Brush – this the the most common method of applying face paint. It provides fine detail work, is flexible easy to use and transport. One nice thing about the Brush is that is also provides a unique piece of work each and every time. The biggest disadvantage of the Brush is that is takes longer than some other methods to apply.
Sponge – Sponges are excellent for covering large areas quickly such as faces, arms, etc. The sponge is also good in blending colors together to soften lines. The sponge can also be used for special effects such as beards and bruises. Application over stencils is also possible with sponges which can increase the speed of application.
Airbrush – This is an excellent tool for rapid application of standard designs when applied using stencils. The airbrush also allows for beautiful designs and blending effects as can be seen from the beautiful effects that airbrush artists create on paper, t- shirts, etc. The considerations concerning airbrushes are the entry cost ($100 to thousands of $$$), compressed air from a compressor (you'll need a plug and be stationary) or canned air (be prepared to freeze your canvas), the paints can be very expensive and the noise from a compressor can be distracting. (we use compressors specifically designed to run quietly) The effects and speed can be awesome but the limitations can be prohibitive for certain types of facepainting events.
Finger Painting – Can be fun but generally not meant for professional facepainting. (however, if you are married and have a fun loving spouse……….)
Note: Almost any paint that hits clothing, fabric, or other porous material may stain that material so be careful.
Water Based Cakes – this is an excellent paint for brush and sponge work. It is water soluble, washes off easily with soap and water, and cover very well. Some of the colors are not as vibrant as can be seen with other types of paints but the over all advantage of these paints make them, in my opinion, the best choice for almost ALL face painting requirements. I use this for base colors, detail work and all applications on children. There are several manufactures of this paint and some have FDA approval. These paints dry well, although if the skin moistens again, perspiration, rain, etc.. the paint will re-wet and is subject to smearing.
Water Based Liquids – These are good paints for face painting. They cover well and can be applied with brush, sponge or even airbrush (some will need diluting to accomplish a smooth application) This paint is water soluble and washes off easily with soap and water. This is a good choice for facepainting and a definite consideration is you are using an airbrush. I have noticed that depending on the brand and thickness of liquid paint used, there is a tendency for the liquid paints to crack as they dry and the "canvas" moves.
Crème (Water Base) – These paints are used to create blended effects that rival airbrush work. The catch is that they take longer to dry (which is necessary for the blending effect) so on small children, they can smear the creation before it fully dries.
Crème (Grease) – This is the traditional "stage" makeup. It is not good for most facepainting such as parties, festivals, etc. The colors are very vibrant and they resist smearing from perspiration. Crème colors require a setting agent to reduce smearing as they do not dry in air. Removal of crèmes (regardless of what is claimed) really is done with cold crème. It comes off easy with the cold crème.
FacePaint Markers – These are markers, which is an applicator of liquid based facepaints. They can be either water based and remove simple with soap and water or alcohol based which last up to several days yet remove with alcohol or lotion.
Commercial Makeup – Lipstick, Blush, Eyeliner, Foundation, etc. Don't forget that regular makeup can be used to great or enhance the effects of facepaints.
Acrylics – I HAVE A LETTER FROM ONE OF THE MANUFACTURES OF THIS PAINT STATING WITHOUT RESERVATION THAT IT IS NOT TO BE USED ON SKIN.
This paint is used by a LOT of facepainters. It is relatively cheap, good coverage, readily available and vibrant colors. There is also a wide variety of colors and special effect paints (glittery, pearlescent, semi transparent..) These are the same paints artists use to paint on canvas, on fabrics or walls, etc. It is not designed for use on human skin. It does wash off pretty easily although you can see it come off like pealing paint off your wall (which is what it is). I do not use acrylics for facepainting as it is not intended to be used on people and I am concerned with reactions on a child's sensitive skin.
Airbrush Acrylics – Another very common paint used especially by airbrushers is fabric acrylics. All the considerations, pros and cons, of above are similar. DON'T USE THEM>>>>> PERIOD
Markers – Often times Water Soluble markers are used for painting. I have never tried them so I can't comment on them
Aerosol Spray Paints – DON'T USE THEM>>>>> PERIOD
Tempera Paints – Some people have used them. They are NOT made to be put on a person's skin so don't do it. They do not have a FDA child safety rating.
Henna – Not really a paint but in a parallel field. It provides a semi permanent "Tattoo". In facepainting, as defined as parties, street work and festivals, it really does not fit. For a long term, up to 3 weeks, temporary tattoo, it is pretty cool.
Glitter – Fun stuff for kids especially. Just avoid application very close to the eyes. Glitter MUST be the polyester type and NOT metallic. For parents, it is the hardest thing to wash off because the glitter, especially fine grain, likes to stick onto the skin.

satch sends his congrats on your tooth, miles!
to maya the missed, happy birthday, dear one.
- Marilyn said...
Although I only read about Maya a couple of times here, I've thought of her many times the past few months (in connection with my thoughts about our dear friend who has her disease). We just learned yesterday that our friend may be receiving a transplant of half a liver from a live donor (and we had no idea that was even a possible option in his case). So it's fabulously good news. I wish that a miracle had happened for Maya so that she could have been around to celebrate her birthday in an earthbound way...and I can't imagine based on what you've shared about her that's she's not off somewhere fabulous celebrating her essence in a magical way...and looking down on you and your lovely family with gratitude for your kind thoughts for her.

Hello All!
Sorry I'm late posting today but things have been busy. I'm sorry to say that my Mother-in-law has been getting worse and my FIL is having a harder time getting her to eat. She also had a bad fall today. My FIL is finally been open to discussing the need for her to go to a facility. So we are in the process of working on these things together as a family. I'm planning to continue posting - but next week may get difficult and I made need to take a little break from blogging. I will keep you posted on things, but for now business as usual. Appreciate any prayers you would like to send our way though!! You're such wonderful friends to me and I swear I feel those thoughts and prayers and they mean so much.
Now, can I just take a moment and share with you my love for salsa? It's just one of those wonderfully yummy things in life. I definitely tend to be a more savory person (my hubby likes sweets) and my weakness is chips, popcorn, nuts, cheesy things etc. And a favorite among those is chips and salsa together. I especially love those crispy tortilla chips and yummy salsa in Mexican restaurants!
I had been looking around on pinterest for different salsa recipes and I pinned this one recently and thought I'd give it a try. I like that it reminds me of the kind you get in a Mexican restaurant. I also was thinking about trying to make more of an effort to make the recipes I find off pinterest and then sharing them here with you - and an honest review of that recipe. So more of my cooking Thursday moments may be just that. Trying out new recipes from pinterest, and even some of my cookbooks, and letting you know how they went. For this recipe it was quite easy - and again so tasty so I would definitely recommend it.
I just threw all of the ingredients in my food processor and then blended it up until it was the consistency I liked (nice and finely chopped up and more liquid to it - like in the restaurants). Plus, the fresh taste is so much better than the jar. Here's the recipe from the blog The Chunky Chef:
- one 28-ounce can whole plum tomatoes, including juice
- 1 small white onion, peeled and roughly chopped
- 1 or 2 jalepeno peppers, seeded and chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin, or to taste
- 1 teaspoons salt, or to taste
- 1/4 to 1 teaspoon granulated sugar, optional and to taste
- 1 or 2 handfuls cilantro leaves (I prefer 2)
- about 3 tablespoons lime juice
- Add all ingredients to food processor in the order listed. Pulse a few times to break up the large pieces, then process until texture is as smooth as desired.
- Taste the salsa and based on personal preference, adjust as necessary.
- Transfer to airtight container and let sit in the refrigerator for a couple of hours or 1 day for best flavor.
- Serve with tortilla chips and enjoy!

Today is your lucky day! After this podcast episode you will be prepared for the world after you've been left behind. Dr. Jeffrey Pugh is back on the podcast and spitting some theological game about his book in the Homebrewed Christianity Guide Series on THE END. That's right we are going to talk dispensationalism, millennialism, rapture, charts, zionism, Trump, Revelation, the Apocalypse, and other eschatological goodies. When you get done you are gonna want to get his book.
Dr. Pugh is the professor of religious studies at Elon University and he has been on the podcast two other times. Once we discussed Bonhoeffer's Religionless Christianity and the Devil's blogging efforts.
Here's a secret. If you order Pugh's book + the other 9 in the HBC series you can score all 10 and $400+ bucks worth of digital classes if you order it all HERE.
People still believe that Jesus is returning to earth . . . and soon! Like Jesus' the first followers, millions of Christians hold fast to the idea that we are living in the last days, yet here we are, two thousand years later, still waiting. In The Homebrewed Christianity Guide to the End Times Jeffrey C. Pugh recounts his own brief sojourn in an apocalyptic cult. Looking back now, as a respected professor of theology, he tackles how Christianity in general, and the evangelical world in particular, have been captivated by the theological innovation known as Dispensationalism that emerged in the nineteenth century. The embrace of this idea has influenced millions, leading to such cultural phenomena as the Left Behind books and movies, and Christian Zionism. But Pugh argues that the belief in the imminent return of Christ has in fact been harmful to Christian engagement with the world, and he builds this argument on a thorough and occasionally sassy reading of biblical texts and church history.
Book Endorsements…
"Of course, we live in a dangerous world, but Jeffrey C. Pugh helps us see how correct Christian eschatological convictions help us avoid getting the world wrong. Pugh writes with a clarity that makes the book available to theologian and non-theologian alike." —Stanley Hauerwas, Duke University
"It was better than Cats; I'd read it again." —Third Horseman of the Apocalypse
"Jeffrey C. Pugh journeys with us through the historical significance of the End Times instead of feeding our fears. He offers a hopeful discovery of a new narrative—one in which we can laugh at ourselves, question, co-create, and redeem the world with God, and do it with love." —Amy Piatt, Senior Pastor, First Christian Church, Portland

I know, it sounds crazy, but sometimes even technology gets tired every once in awhile. We've been working hard to keep HealthMonth, well, healthy and as a result we will need to have a little bit of downtime (approximately 20-45mins) on Monday December 9 at 4pm PST.
We chose that time so that it hopefully doesn't conflict with people checking in for the end of the day with their rules, etc. We do appreciate that not everyone is in the same time zone and we simply needed to make a judgement call. We hope you understand.

What wonderful news we heard. That one little heartbeat had turned into three.
Two girls and a boy!
We could tell that both Melanee and Curt were amazed and dazed to say the least. How do you plan for three babies? At least they are living in the right place, our Springwood Ward has lots of experience with triplets and there aren't many babies in the ward. Melanee has the best mother; she will provide so much support to them. They are living in a bigger house, probably not the best floor plan for new babies, but lots of room and the laundry is close to the nursery.
Yes, we are feeling a little left out being so far away. We will send prayers each day and each night and keep their names in the Temple.
The only details we know right now are that they are the same size and doing well. It appears that they are three individuals so even grandpa should be able to tell them apart. The doctor wants her to do everything she can to get to 34 weeks which would be the end of September or first of October.
I had fun this week looking at triplet websites and shopping for some clothes. I found some cute sayings for t-shirts ---- Tic, Tac, Toe ---- 1 of 3, 2 of 3, 3 of 3 --- and HO! HO! HO! for Christmas.
Theron says, Eeny, Meeny, Miny -- because there ain't no Moe.
Nothing we did in Samoa can top that news. We are awaiting from afar and hope we will have pictures to add later.

The pursuit of happiness is a matter of choice...it is a positive attitude we choose to express. It is not a gift delivered to our door each morning, nor does it come through the window. And it is certain that our circumstances are not the things that make us joyful. If we wait for them to get just right, we will never laugh again.

Hello and I trust you are having a good week!
First, I'd like to say that if you live in the northeastern US you are all in my thoughts and prayers in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. I hope you have power, food, water and medicine. I also hope that if you have loved ones there that they are safe.
I know there are many wonderful and caring people who have already begun volunteering. There is a doctor I know from Twitter who has already been helping where she can- so hang tight and be encouraged, you have many friends. Help is on the way!
My laptop hard drive is bad, so my computer is in the shop. I'm actually doing this on my iPhone -believe it or not! It's taken the Patience of Job - but at least I have a way to get it done, and power! I'm so thankful.
I pray you have a very blessed & healthy week!

Brazil's Supreme Court has ruled that the Indian reservation known as Raposa-Serra do Sol should not be broken up. A powerful group of rice farmers who live inside the reserve wanted the reserve's boundaries changed so they could remain. But by 10-1 the judges ruled that the reserve should remain intact.
The President of the Supreme Court said that, 'The basis we established in this case, the conditions and procedures, will serve as a guide for other disputes. We are putting an end to the issues surrounding similar cases.' More at Survival International

A volunteer run play scheme in Thurcroft
September 2013
Cath McCarten is a resident in Thurcroft Big Local, a village in South Yorkshire. Cath first got involved with Big Local three years ago and for the past two years she's been running a local summer play scheme as a volunteer with her sister - Diane Oxley.
It was through going to watch her sons play football that she first heard about Big Local in the area, and later went along to a meeting to find out more. Before being involved in Big Local, Cath hadn't done much volunteering, apart from sometimes helping out at children's discos.
Joining the steering group and events committee, Cath and her sister were involved with organising Big Local events and activities. Some of these were organised specifically for Big Local, and others piggy backed existing local events. There was lots happening including an event called 'Pies, peas and profile', where Big Local put on an afternoon of entertainment and shared residents' views and visions so far. There were other events too such as an Easter bonnet parade and 'onesie' (one piece jumpsuit) party.
In Thurcroft there isn't much available for young children, apart from a Scouts group. As Cath explains:
"My sons are grown up now but I have nieces and nephews and there's nothing for them to do. There are no youth clubs. My daughter-in-law works in a local nursery and even that's closed in the summer. So that's where I got the idea from."
So Cath began to look into setting up a summer play scheme – there used to be one in the village a very long time ago. To find out what processes and rules the scheme actually needed, Cath approached Ofsted directly to ask for advice. Ofsted provided guidance on what measures would need to be put in place to make the play scheme safe.
The Miners Institute agreed to let Cath use their premises over the summer for the scheme free of charge. They were offered the pavilion, which is used by the cricket club but had availability and space to accommodate the play scheme.
In summer 2013 the play scheme launched and was run one day a week for five weeks. It was offered for free between 10am – 3pm. In this first year, five paid workers (from the local nursery) and four volunteers were involved on play scheme days. Rachel Cole, who is paid to support Big Local for approximately 10 hours per week, offered her support as needed. The cost to staff the scheme was paid for using Big Local funding, as was the cost for materials. Cath and another volunteer would prepare the pavilion in advance and go out to buy the materials.
Cath ensured that the scheme paid workers fairly, and offered competitive wages on two tiers to those with a qualification as well as to people who were training for a relevant NVQ (national vocational qualification).
The play scheme was hugely popular with up to 75 children attending each day. Parents could leave children over 5 years, or if they were under-five then they could stay with parent supervision.
At first the people who used the cricket club weren't sure about sharing it with so many children. However, as the two groups got to know each other, the cricket club liked that the space was being used and looked after.
Cath and Diane ran the play scheme for a second year in 2014 and feel that the second year was much easier having the experience and learning from the previous year. They decided to run it for six weeks but between 10am – 2pm. When the scheme ended later in the day the children were often getting tired and irritable. But by ending slightly earlier the day always ended with the children looking forward to the next session. They introduced a fee of £1 per child to cover some of the costs, which meant that the scheme could offer lots of activities for the children to choose from, and take home four finished crafts at the end of the day. Activities included building planes, painting, card making and outdoor games and sports.
In the second year the scheme was run with fewer paid workers and more volunteers. Some of the paid workers included people who are working towards their NVQs in sports and did outdoor activities with the children. One reason for working with more volunteers is there were a few occasions where some of the paid workers didn't turn up to work so they needed to rely on volunteers and found them reliable.
Diane and Cath both have full time jobs but arrange their time to volunteer to organise and run the play scheme. Diane works for the council and Cath works at the hospital. Alongside the play scheme they also volunteer with other Big Local activities such as helping to organise the Thurcroft Big Local gala. When asked how they find the time to volunteer, Cath said that they're 'simply just busy people'. Cath feels that their background in public sector work has helped them to run the play scheme. However, they have learnt new skills in involving other people as well as dealing with conflict.
People have seen the play scheme working in the community, and had an opportunity to get to know those involved and find out about Big Local. Cath said:
"It's much more than just a play scheme, it's opened people's eyes to what's happening with Big Local."
The summer play scheme has also grown a number of new relationships and opportunities. Through using the premises the play scheme got to know the Miners Institute well, including the volunteer caretaker who has been working there for a long time. By getting to know people, Cath has been in a good position to introduce and involve other people. Anna Barrass, a local resident and parish councillor who is a member of the Big Local steering group had been trying to set up a youth club in the area but struggled to find any premises to use despite approaching different groups and venues. However, because of the play scheme's good reputation and relationship, the Miners Institute have agreed that the youth club can use their venue. The Miners Institute also recognise the advantage of having someone in the premises.
As part of supporting the youth club, Big Local has agreed to provide funding for three residents at a time to train in youth training and youth leading.
Despite the popularity of the summer scheme, they've had hardly any parents volunteering to help. Looking ahead to next year, Cath hopes that this is something they can improve upon and address. They plan to see if there are parents interested in receiving training and a qualification in youth work as part of this, and by doing so will contribute towards creating opportunities for skills development and employment in the area.
In this short interview, Cath talks about the summer play scheme and the impact it's having in the area.

one of my favorite collections from milan fashion week, though from the reviews i could see that it was an unexpected one. just cavalli's fall/winter collection 2011 showcases a smorgasbord of patterns, mixing them into flowing, pyjama-like combinations. there was definitely some inspiration from the 70s as some of the strongest pieces included a shaggy to-the-floor fur coat, tiered maxi-dresses and loose-cut pants. a perfect amount of femininity for the springtime.
^ must have coat
^ love that skirt(?) and matching top
^ another adorable combo
{ via style }
Love, M

The first game of the season had finally arrived after the longest pre-season since 1939, which lasted 6 years due to the megalomaniacal tendencies of some Austrian bloke. The pre-season had seen round robin competitions of varying rugby styles including 7s, 8s, 9s, 10s and kabaddi.
On a sunny Saturday afternoon, both teams were eager to get back to no-frills 15-a-side rugby at the Southampton Rangers Thunderdome ground. With keys players from both teams unavailable due prior quidditch commitments, there was a feeling that either team could sneak a result.
The first half was a cagey affair with both teams looking a little rusty, but Renegades had the slight edge in both territory and possession.
Champagne was starting to fizz and after some good running from Brick Top and Brown Noise Renegades managed to score two tries; it could have been more were it not for the frequent errors made in the opposition 22.
PK, the Renegades best ever kicker, managed to kick over one conversion, with some mutterings that maybe he isn't as good a kicker as he makes out.
Other highlights of the first half included a trademark shit grubber kick from Benett, which only just lead to a narrowly avoided Teachers try. But the play of the half goes to Salty for bamboozling Father Ted on his first match refereeing in Bermuda - Salty, using his years of experience watching US sports, decided to slide into a tackle on his knees like a young, well-fed Tom Brady which perplexed Father Ted and earned his team a penalty. And for those in doubt that he truly deserved Salty Appreciation Day, he made his first turnover ever by cleanly jackalling the ball.
Before the end of the first half, Teachers managed to run in a try on the wing somehow evading 6 defenders and keeping them in the game. They must have also scored a penalty at some point as the score at half time was 12-8 to the Renegades.
After and inspirational half time speech from coach Archiballs, the Renegades started the 2nd half with aplomb. Early in the second half Renegades had an attacking scrum well into Teachers territory in the middle of the park. Such is PKs reputation for being shit, nobody expected him to pick up from the base of the scrum and run 30 meters to score under the posts!
The Renegades forwards started to gain ascendency over their counterparts and managed to grind out two forward incarnated tries. The first saw the pack make a catch and drive on the five meter line with Howler ultimately taking the ball over the line. The second saw the scrum drive over from 5 meters out with No.8 Phil Heaney using statesman like control to dot the ball down.
Teachers started to lose their discipline at this point. PJ, who had regained his sight after the paintball accident, decided to suplex Benett out of a ruck, Duncan was nowhere to be seen. The two scrum halves were constantly trying to prove who was the most Norn Irish, with Father Ted frequently having to tell them to behave. In the last few minutes of the game, the Teachers wing deliberately kicked New Quiggers in the face, probably because he tried to tarmac his drive.
Renegades were awarded a penalty and after some good forward play, Des Nash, back on the pitch after his failed attempt to become Kidderminsters version Evel Kenievel, ran in the last try of the game.
PK, the Renegades best ever kicker, made 4 out of 4 conversions in the second half making a final score 40-8.

SPOILERS FOTR Review: Tolkien Online (~Elrohir~, 9/10) - A true epic adventure filmed on a scope never before seen or experienced.
"This is a great film. No doubt about it. But, it is NOT one of the best films of all time. Some of you may think so, but there are flaws here (which I will address in a bit) and it is missing a certain something (which I will also address) that would put it 'over the top' as a 'greatest of all time.'"
