Why do makeup artists and celebrities (like Emma Stone) use Arm and Hammer baking soda skin scrubs?
Because it's an incredible natural exfoliant. It's just course enough to gentle massage and remove dirt, oil, and excess dead skin cells.
But, it's not too course so it won't cause irritation or over strip skin's natural protective oil barrier.
Plus, it's a chemical buffer, which means it can neutralize the pH environment – bring it into the proper pH balance.
Exfoliation is very important for anti-aging ..... find out why
Basically, it's mild and gently enough to remove grease and dirt as well exfoliate rough patches and dead cells due to its mild abrasive quality.
So if you suffer from blackheads, clogged pores, pimples, or oily skin it might be worth giving it a try.
Unlike artificial scrubs - baking soda starts out slightly course, but after a few minutes (once it's mixed with any liquid) it begins to dissolve and soften.
So add just enough to create a comfortable scrub.
There is no fear about damaging the outer skin layer because this compound isn't that rough.
This is one of the many advantages of using baking soda, unlike many of the over-the-counter exfoliating products that contain crushed walnut shell hulls which do not dissolve in water and can scratch and damage the upper dermis.
Plus, it has anti-fungal activity which is great for those with skin issues like breakouts!
One of the biggest problems with any makeup foundation is its ability to "melt" into the skin and look smooth and natural.
When the skin's canvas is smooth as glass, almost any foundation will adhere to the surface and look like your own skin……..isn't that what all want from our makeup?
Most all makeup artists agree starting out with the smooth surface is best. So, they would always exfoliate first before applying makeup.
Now, depending on your age, you may need to exfoliate at least 2 to 3 times a week to keep your complexion free from patchy dead skin areas.
So prior to your applying your makeup ---- make a small amount of paste using Arm and Hammer baking soda (using either water or your favorite creamy cleanser).
The amount used can vary depending on your preference and needs. I generally use a handful of baking soda and mix enough cleanser to get a gritty paste like concoction.
You can vary the amount as you see fit.
Then massage all over your face (don't forget your neck and chest area too!) Then rinse very well to remove all traces of the mixture.
Dry your skin, apply your favorite moisturizer, sunscreen or whatever you normally use.
Then with your fingers (fingers are better IMO to warm up the foundation and help it melt into the skin) and apply your foundation as you normally would.
You'll notice your makeup goes on much easier and smoother.
Finish with a second application of moisturizer if you're older or have dry skin. Or apply a thin layer of finishing powder if you normally need one.
I don't have oily skin, but have been using baking soda for over 25 years with no problems, dryness, or irritation.
I generally use it a minimum once/twice a week, more often during the summer months when I'm sweating more or using a lot of gooey, pore clogging sunscreen.
Once you start, you'll know instinctively when you need to exfoliate again.
Because you'll actually feel the little bumps and dry patches of dead skin with your fingers as you wash your face.
Plus, over time, you'll notice that your skin doesn't have that polished, beautiful glow………that's your sign it's time to exfoliate again!
Now, since everyone is different you'll have to discover for yourself what works best.
Try a small amount in a small area of the skin first to see how you react before incorporating baking soda into your skin care regime.
Please let us know how you like the Arm and Hammer baking soda scrub….
There are some (very few) who don't care for it.
Like I've said before I've been using it since my late 20s and I love it even more now that I'm in my 50s (oh my gosh…............am I really that old??? Yikes!)
But, anyway……….
We want to hear it all. Please share in the link below :-)

The weather has turned lovely again, which is wonderful. It makes it particularly sad that I should have actually chosen to be indoors at the moment, out of the sun and sitting at the computer rather than tackling the weeds or any other outdoor chore that would have justified my staying outside. And actually, the need to weed is far more urgent than the stats I've produced but I have been quite happily occupied for an hour or two looking at various facts and figures, including amongst others our barns occupancy stats.
Occupancy for our barns has always been well over 90%. Last financial year (2009-2010) Tom's Barn's was 95%, having adjusted for the 10 days withdrawn for decorating in February, with all year one weekend and one midweek unaccountably unbooked (can't blame a cancellation or anything like that!). Douglas's Barn occupancy was 99%, with – apart from the 5 days withdrawn for re-decorating – only one weekend, in December, not booked .
As far as visits go, Tom's Barn had 59 during the year, Douglas's Barn 60. Both had 35 one-week or longer bookings and 24/25 short breaks respectively. That's a lot of changeovers! There's a lot to be said for being such as small unit, how owners cope when they have a large complex doesn't bear thinking of…
Finally, another figure which we find surprising: only 18% of our guests last year had been before (22% Tom's Barn, 15% Douglas's). I think that must be a blip: last year the overall figure was 24% and we do have such a lot of guests coming back and back; I am sure the figure will be higher again next year and certainly, looking at our wall planner/advance bookings chart can almost guarantee it.
We love having old friends return, and they seem to like the feeling of coming 'home' to somewhere familiar. That isn't to say of course that we don't also really love welcoming new faces here and it is gratifying that so many of you do keep finding us one way or the other, through the internet or through friends and family – so, do keep coming!

Some consumers will research appliances in a brick and mortar retail store but then make their actual purchase online, in a practice known as, "showrooming," according to market research firm NPD Group, Inc.
The firm found that 15-20% of consumers in 2011 were "showrooming" categories like stand mixers, electric knives, sewing machines, and some floor cleaners, and the firm said it sees signs of the trend moving into categories such as power tools, hairsetters, and robotic floor care appliances.
NPD said that, in total small kitchen electric appliances:
* 7% of consumers who researched their appliances at a brick and mortar store made their purchase online
* 4% did so when purchasing personal care appliances
* 2% did so when purchasing home improvement products
The firm said that two in three consumers that researched a home-related product online made their purchase at a brick and mortar store.
NPD saw a 20% dollar growth in small appliance and home improvement online sales in 2011. Still, online sales were just 13% dollar share of small appliance sales and 5% of home improvement sales in 2011. Most purchases still come form brick and mortar stores.

by William Shakespeare
Bard on the Beach Shakespeare Festival
Howard Family Stage, Douglas Campbell Theatre, Vanier Park
July 4 to Sept 17, 2014
Vancouver, BC: Cymbeline is one of the lesser known Shakespearean dramas with many characters taking on alternate identities. It is one of the few Shakespeare plays that I have never seen performed, studied or even read until now. In Cymbeline, the plot is rather convoluted and the Bard uses many of his familiar devices and characters - the poison that simulates death, disguises that are un-believably effective, lost royal heirs that are raised in poverty, the deceitful betrayer who besmirches the reputation of the virtuous heroine - and I honestly wasn't expecting to be riveted to the stage as I am when I watch one of his great tragedies.
But I really loved this production. Anita Rochon's direction was crisp and incisive and this talented group of actors were able to push the limits of the multiple role casting to provide the comedic sharpness that this play needs.

Directed by Michael Shamata
Bard on the Beach Shakespeare Festival
Howard Family Stage, Douglas Campbell Theatre, Vanier Park
July 2 to Sept 19, 2014
Vancouver, BC: I really enjoy the opportunity to see a play with a Shakespearean
Vancouver, BC: I really enjoy the opportunity to see a play with a Shakespearean "connection" as the 4th play in a Bard on the Beach season. These plays such as Mark Leiren -Young's "Shylock" or Stoppard's "Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern", that are not of the Shakespeare's writing yet complement the current productions, add a different dimension to the Bard on the Beach experience.
This year, Bill Cain's "Equivocation", though not specifically related to any of the three other plays on stage, was an excellent choice and I found the play witty and thought-provoking. Filled to the brim with allusions recognizable to the Shakespearean "in" crowd, it presents an tantalizing imagined tale of how Equivocation's Shakespeare character, Shagspeare, comes to produce one of the Shakespearean tragedies most admired and performed to this day. I'll leave it to you to find out which one.
Shrek: The Musical
Based on the DreamWorks Animation Motion Picture and the book by William Steig
Book and lyrics by David Lindsay-Abaire
Music by Jeanine Tesori
Directed by Sarah Rodgers
Music Director Christopher King, Choreographer Julie Tomaino
Theatre Under the Stars, Malkin Bowl, Stanley park.
July 11 to Aug 22, 2014
Vancouver, BC: With my grandchildren (one a five year old) in town, this was a great opportunity to take them to see a Theatre Under the Stars musical at Malkin Bowl. The story of Shrek, the lonely ogre, was more age appropriate than Legally Blonde, which I had enjoyed last year. Seven of us trooped off to Stanley Park, hoping for a beautiful summer evening, and we got what we hoped for, a warm, almost cloudless summer night and good family entertainment.
For a theatre-loving foodie, few cities in the world can match New York and on traveling out of New York, I always try to plan a few days in Manhattan before or after my trip. Theatre and restaurant reviews from my NY explorations over the past few years can be found through the links below. This post is the index to hotel, food and theatre experiences Spring 2014.(New York New York: 2009 Part I Seven Days of Theatre and Food)(New York, New York Part II) (New York, New York Part III) (New York, New York 2010) (New York in Winter 2012)(New York Theatre 2013)
This time en route to board the Crystal Symphony for a short cruise from New York to Halifax, I planned a two night stop-over in New York for dining and theatre. Despite the limited time I managed to enjoy several excellent restaurant meals and three shows.
The Book of Mormon
Book, music and lyrics by Trey Parker, Robert Lopez and Matt Stone
Directed by Casey Nicholaw and Trey Parker
Choreographed by Casey Nicholaw
Eugene O'Neill Theatre, 230 West 49th St. (8th and BWay)
New York, NY: After reading my little rant about the mind-numbing effect of excessive and unexpected profanity on stage, you may wonder why I would have chosen to see The Book of Mormon. After all it was written by the creators of South Park, the award winning animated comedy sitcom known for its shock value and crude language. The difference is that going into the theatre, I knew that this show described as a "bawdy, irreverent, hilarious" look at missionaries sent to Africa to convert the masses, would create its comedy by using foul language and sexually explicit humour to shock. So in the context of the show, swear words were the least "offensive " aspect. Overall The Book of Mormon is entertaining and quite hilarious.
Satchmo at The Waldorf
starring John Douglas Thompson
by Terry Teachout
directed by Gordon Edelstein
at the Westside Theatre (407 West 43rd)
New York, NY. In general I avoid reading reviews of plays or musicals that I am about to see so as not to bias my enjoyment and opinion on the show. In the case of Satchmo at the Waldorf, I wish I had broken my rule as the play turned out to be very different to what I had been expecting.
In a powerful performance John Douglas Thompson plays the seventy-year old Louis Armstrong in his dressing room at the Waldorf Astoria as he unwinds after one of his last performances.
Kinky Boots
Book by Harvey Fierstein
Music and lyrics by Cyndi Lauper
Based on the Miramax motion picture Kinky Boots written by Geoff Deane and Tim Firth
Directed and Choreographed by Jerry Mitchell
Music supervision, arrangements and orchestration by Stephen Oremus
At the Al Hirschfeld Theatre, 302 West 45th
New York, NY. This is the second production of Kinky Boots I have seen. I first saw the show with the original Broadway cast in June last year, and enjoyed it so much (specially the boots!) that on this return visit I thought my fashionista friends had to see it too. Good decision because I confess I loved it even more the second time around.
White Hot
by Tommy Smith
directed by Ben Ratner
The Shop Theatre, 125 E. 2 nd St.
A White Hot Equity Co-Op production
May 8 -17, 2014
Vancouver, B.C. One of the things I love about my job as a theatre reviewer is the opportunity to see off-mainstream shows by small independent theatre companies. It is also often an opportunity to learn about small funky theatre spaces which these independent companies find to use for their productions. And that's how on a rainy Vancouver night I found myself driving round the vicinity of Main and Québec Streets, trying to find a a street parking space reasonably close to The Shop Theatre, which I discovered is in the old production space of the now sadly defunct Vancouver Playhouse Theatre Company.
I do not use the F-word, at least in my writing, so I will simply say instead that Tommy Smith's play is about some seriously M-essed up characters. Lil (Loretta Walsh) and Sis (Stefania Indelicato) are sisters, the yin and yang of a manic-depressive persona. Sis is a manically crazy nymphomaniac who kicks off the play with a superbly articulated, warp-speed monologue about her sex-driven, violent but empty life. "I love when people lie to me. I love the moment when I figure it out. I'm like, there, I got white hot justice on my side."
by Nicolas Billon
Directed by Kathleen Duborg
A Dirt Road/The Iceland Equity Co-oP Production
Studio 16, West 7th.
Till May 3, 2014
Vancouver, BC: It was a packed house last night for the closing performance of Nicolas Billon's Iceland at Studio 16, and deservedly so. Iceland is a gem of a theatrical piece and it was sensitively directed and beautifully performed by Kathy Duborg and her cast of three.
Iceland is one of three plays that make up the trilogy published as "Fault Lines" that won Billon the 2013 Governor General's Literary Award for Drama. The other two plays are Greenland and Faroe Islands.
Watching Glory Die
Written and performed by Judith Thompson
Directed by Ken Gass
Canadian Rep Theatre
Historic Theatre at The Cultch
April 23 to May 3rd, 2014.
Vancouver, BC: A fourteen year old girl sent to juvenile detention for throwing an apple at a postman was incarcerated for five years until she ultimately asphyxiated herself in her cell while being watched by on duty correctional officers. The correctional officers were "following orders not to intervene until she stopped breathing." It is hard to believe that this tragic and horrific real-life story could happen in a country like Canada. Four months ago, almost 7 years after the death of Ashley Smith, an inquest jury found that her death was a homicide - in other words that the actions of others contributed to her death. No criminal or civil liability was assessed through the inquest but recommendations were made to prevent such future tragedies.
Playwright Judith Thompson chose to tell this sad and perplexing story through the perspectives of three representative characters. Glory is the troubled 19 year old girl who has spent 5 years, much of it in "therapeutic quiet" or isolation, in institutions of Corrections Canada. Rose is Glory's adoptive mother, who raised her from a 5 day old infant, and who, towards the end was kept away from Glory by the Corrections system. Gail represents the correctional officers or prison guards. A rough working-class woman, she is fearful of losing her job, follows orders not her conscience and is clearly not trained nor qualified to be responsible for the type of self-destructive prisoner that Glory has become. In this premiere production of Watching Glory Die, Thompson herself bravely returns to the stage after 35 years, to play all three roles.

1. My laziness is so pervasive that I rarely heat up my lunch at work because it requires a 30 second walk to the microwave and I just cannot be bothered to do that. I eat so much food cold that should probably be heated up. Cold spaghetti really isn't all that bad, though.
2. I have so many things going on that I haven't mentioned on here. Big, scary, awesome things. To give you an idea: you are reading the blog of the owner of not one, but two officially registered and licensed companies. That is terrifying. Exciting, but terrifying. I'm an entrepreneur, people! Or something like that. Life is about to get a lot more busy.
3. Sometimes I wish it was possible for neither team to win a sporting event. This is one of those times. I may have said to a co-worker that I hope the stadium implodes. That is taking it too far, but, yeah…GO BUCKEYES! Big Ten, forever, baby.
4. I don't believe in a lot of the things I'm learning in my food safety class in culinary school. It breaks my heart to have to select "only purchase food in sealed packaging from a manufacturer" and "do not purchase food from vendors that aren't pre-approved" as the correct answers to a question about how to protect the food supply. I feel like some of the best food on the planet comes from the small-time farmer and is not pre-packaged. But I guess that's the difference between a home cook and a restaurant chef who is responsible for the well-being of hundreds of people (which I have no desire to ever be, by the way). Side note: reading about foodborne parasites? Not fun.
5. Like everyone else in the history of ever, I'm totally obsessed with the Hunger Games. I went all fangirly when I first read the books a few years ago, and the movie has reignited my obsession. It also helps that Babyface is equally obsessed. On our way home from our (first) viewing of the movie, he said, "I have a celebrity crush on Jennifer Lawerence." and I said, "Duh, who doesn't?" Get in line, buddy.
Do you have any confessions to share?
14 Comments
Confession: I'm the only person in the world (apparently) that isn't interested in the Hunger Games. I also don't like to read fiction (gasp!). I love biographies, memoirs and books about health-related stuff… but just can't get into fiction anymore. Don't hate me!
Nope, Lauren…you aren't alone. I have zero interest in The Hunger Games. I read all different kinds of books, but the plot of that one just doesn't light my fire.
If I'm not mistaken, is that a ServSafe book? I had to get certified for that, too! I majored in Nutrition, Fitness, and Health and dietetics. I'm sure food safety applies to those working in restaurants, but in real life? It's probably used minimally! I don't take the temperature of the chicken before I serve my food to my family!
I can't get to the link from my phone, but you must watch the beanie babies adaptation of the Hunger Games. I almost cried.
Two businesses? Huzzah!
Hey, hey, hey now! My theory is that you should be rooting for Kentucky to win. Then, you could say that your team was ousted by the eventual champions – you were only beaten by the best – so who knows what might have happened if you were in a different bracket?
p.s. I can rationalize almost any fan situation into a pro-Kentucky one!
I am SO lazy, I never even take my lunch back to the kitchen to put it in the refrigerator. I'm like 80% sure that's why I felt so sick yesterday after eating it (also un-microwaved, natch) but whatever. Some things just aren't worth it, hahaha.
There are a lot of leftovers I actually prefer to eat cold – spaghetti and mac n cheese topping those charts. I also like to throw cold leftovers on a few cups of mixed greens for a nice, hearty salad.
hahaha on your confession number one: when life gets hectic for me (like right meow), I start eating creamed corn and baked beans cold from the can. I've also been eating cold veggie pakora that I bought in bulk from Costco. Cold food is delicious
And congrats on your businesses! That IS exciting!
Cold spaghetti & cold pizza(!!!) = AWESOME!!!
Confession: Total Hoosier Kentucky fans here! I know, I know but I married into a UK crazy family, so I had to take one for the team
There's a pretty big difference between buying for yourself, and buying for a restaurant and a facility where food safety is paramount (nursing homes, day care centers, hospitals…).
ServSafe has to err on the side of caution. The makers of the book don't know if you run a food blog, an organic kitchen, or a hospital kitchen.
confessions…I also often don't take the time to heat up my food at work…you're right, cold spaghetti is not bad…another confession…I HATE Kentucky…having grown up in the southern part of the state, you have to hate UK, and I'm no fan of Pitino either…go Buckeyes! If Purdue was playing Kentucky you better believe I'd be rooting for Purdue (cough, cough…that'd be hard to do, but I'd do it) Another confession, I owned my own business for 13 years (a small pizza restaurant in Mitchell)…and am getting the hankering for starting another business…yikes!

90% or More Support NRA PositionsTo rebut bogus surveys by pollsters on the payroll of antigun groups, NRA-ILA conducted a national scientific poll of NRA members and found near unanimity among NRA members on a wide range of issues involving mental health reform and firearm rights.Gun control advocates including New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, as well as various media outlets, have released data claiming to represent the views of NRA members, despite the fact that none of those surveys had access to the NRA's membership list. The NRA survey of 1,000 randomly-selected NRA members across the country is the only legitimate survey of NRA members on these issues.The data from this survey indicates that NRA members are united in their desire for Washington to focus on keeping firearms from the mentally ill and to reject unconstitutional gun control measures that infringe on Second Amendment rights."Mayor Bloomberg's claims that gun owners are divided are totally false. It is nothing more than an attempt by anti-gun activists to further their long-standing political agenda," said NRA-ILA Executive Director Chris Cox. "American gun owners and Second Amendment supporters are ready for Washington to put politics aside and come together to fix our broken mental health system."Key Findings:91% of NRA members support laws keeping firearms away from the mentally ill.92% of NRA members oppose gun confiscation via mandatory buy-back laws.89% oppose banning semi-automatic firearms, often mistakenly called "assault rifles."93% oppose a law requiring gun owners to register with the federal government.92% oppose a federal law banning the sale of firearms between private citizens.Methodology--The national survey was conducted by OnMessage Inc. Telephone interviews were conducted January 13-14, 2013. This survey consists of 1,000 NRA members and was stratified by state to reflect voter distribution in the 2012 presidential election. The margin of error for this survey is +/- 3.09%.Full results available here.

Talk of Golf Balls, Candles and Digital Printing's Future
By Noel Ward
| Posted on September 28, 2010
Share & Save
Text Size
One of the bright spots in digital printing these days—and into the future—is packaging. You can digitize a lot things and stream them through the air and over fiber and copper lines, but nearly all products we all buy every day will always need some kind of package, label or both. What's interesting is how well digital printing—like for golf balls and candles—fits this market.
This might not seem to make sense at first, because packaging is such a high volume, mass market app. Yet, if you really look at many of the consumer goods lining the aisles of your local Wally World, you see how labels and packaging are changing. Instead of there being a couple versions of a given brand of shampoo or deodorant, there are a dozen or more. The differences in the actual products may be more imagined than real, but a unique package or label—barcode and all—is required for each.
"What this does is reduce the run length required for each item," notes Mike Ring, president of Xeikon America. "There are more products, but that means shorter runs for any given label. And because products can also vary by market, digital printing is becoming a compelling choice for many labels and packaging applications."
Much of this work has traditionally been done with offset printing or flexography, which are geared to the longer runs required for most consumer goods. But as those runs shrink, digital presses begin to shine and can offer equal or better quality for many products.
Ring tells of how one customer's client wouldn't accept digital printing unless the label on the product was indistinguishable from the offset version. "Once the customer was able to demonstrate the labels printed on a Xeikon press looked the same as the conventional ones, the client was on board and now uses both technologies depending on delivery times and run lengths," he reports.
Golf Balls and Candles
Where digital dominates, though, is in the ability to customize labels. This would seem trivial, but it turns out to be a substantial chunk of business for companies like Acushnet Golf, manufacturer of Titleist and Pinnacle golf balls.
I travelled to Tulsa, OK, where Odyssey Printing uses a Xeikon 5000 to produce customized golf ball sleeves for dozens of country clubs, corporations and special events, such as tournaments and fund raisers. Odyssey has 100 templates for packaging that can be customized with logos and pictures and UV-varnished inline with the press, then diecut and shipped flat to Acushet, ready to receive the golf balls. Run lengths are under 1,000 and jobs can be turned around in just five days.
When you think about the number of country clubs out there, all of which have a pro shop that sells golf balls, the market for just this one form of custom packaging is a very attractive one. The folks at Odyssey and Xeikon gave me a sleeve of Titleist balls, which I brought home and gave to a kid I know on the local high school golf team. He was thrilled to get some Titleists, but was fascinated by the personalized packaging. It makes you think about the effect custom packaging can have.
Odyssey also does labels for Yankee Candle Co., one of the largest makers of decorative candles in the United States. Back in 2008, the company was seeking a way to produce short-run packages for sales samples, fill-in orders, and had its sights on developing a custom label program. Many of Yankee's labels are on clear film and require near photographic quality. Odyssey brought in a Xeikon 3300, the first installed in the U.S., to address Yankee's needs, and added a Xeikon 3500 in August 2010.
These machines let Odyssey handle the package and label mix of Yankee's orders and provide custom labels and packaging for fundraising activities and special events, such as thank you gifts for guests at weddings, anniversaries and the like. The 3300 and 3500 are teamed with a Xeikon UCoat finishing unit, a MGE/Zund I-cut system, a folder/gluer and a Preco 2024 optically-registered die press. Production time for labels is just 2-3 days, depending on capacity, availability and volume. Other Odyssey work includes a host of packaging, labeling and point-of-purchase materials and shelf strips for a wide range of household name companies.
Xeikon's Focus
It's industrial applications like these that Mike Ring sees as a key part of the printing business in the coming years—and a big part of Xeikon's future. He says the unique features of Xeikon's technology—roll-fed, a 20.5" print width, simultaneous duplexing, ability to add a fifth color, numerous inline finishing options, and speed—make it a good fit for many packaging and finishing tasks.
The speed is not a trivial matter. While some cut-sheet machines can be set up with coating and finishing options that work for some packaging applications, it is sheer speed, especially combined with the smooth workflow inherent with inline finishing, that's critical in achieving the throughput needed for a profitable operation.
The other side of printing, especially document production such as books, photobooks, marketing collateral and the like, is the other target for Xeikon. Ring thinks his company's machines also have an edge here because of their speed.
"There's a gap in the market between inkjet and toner," he explains. "The inkjet systems all run very fast and can do a good job, although the quality isn't quite as good as toner. But they are expensive to buy and require a lot of volume to be profitable. Cut-sheet toner machines have the quality, but are limited in speed, monthly capacity, and the cost per page can be too high. Continuous feed toner-based machines fill this gap, providing the speed, image quality, finishing options, versatility and competitive running cost."
When Ring said this, I thought about some of the questions I've been getting lately from print providers who need more speed, but worry that they can't make the numbers work for even the lower speed inkjet systems. It depends on the operation and applications, of course, but maybe they need to consider a different approach with toner.
Xeikon has always been a bit of a niche player in the digital printing game, but this niche has significantly broadened with the company's forays into labels and packaging. With this new focus, the company seems poised to reach out to new customers in a segment of the print industry that has gone largely untouched by digital print technology. It may well be that this focus on industrial is the Xeikon's chance to take a leading role in that segment and grab a share of one of the more promising markets for digital printing.

Smasbox's new Be Legendary Long Wear Lip Lacquer shades are, indeed, pretty legendary. I need more lip colors like I need Ebola (topical!) but if money wasn't an issue, I would buy each and every one of the twenty shades. The lacquers are described as "a long-wear, lip-hybrid formula with high-impact staining pigments for color that goes on as a lacquer and then adjusts to a stain for eight hours of color." That... pretty much sums it up. I find the texture of these to be sort of like a thick gloss, and it applies easily without clumping or drying out my lips. (My pet peeve in other lip lacquers, so I'm happy that it isn't an issue here at all). On me, the colors last about six hours before starting to fade, but I get a couple hours more of slightly less pigmented color, so I think their claims of eight hours of wear are pretty accurate. I really, really like a lot of the shades as well. My current favorite is Off Duty - a nude pink brown that looks amazing with smoky eyes, but if you're looking to duplicate the dark, dark lips that are going to be everywhere this fall, either Bordeaux (a dark plum) or After Dark (a black plum) will work perfectly. Definitely worth checking these out if you're in the mood to pick up a new lip color. (And when aren't we?)
Note: Samples of this product were sent to me by a PR representative working with Smashbox

Should I Date Someone I'm Not Attracted To?
Q - Is it wrong to not want to date someone that you aren't physically attracted to, even though you enjoy spending time with them?
A - Thanks for the question. I am guessing that you are not already dating this person, by the way you have phrased your question.
You are under no obligation to date anyone. Many Christians have been taught that all that really counts is what is inside. I would like to tweak that statement. What is "inside" is more important, but physical attraction does matter. There is such a thing as physical beauty and it really does make a difference in a relationship which might lead to marriage - the thing dating should be about.
While physical attraction is less important than finding someone you are attracted to in other areas (faith, personality, interests, etc.) it really does matter in a relationship and you should not feel bad about wanting to date someone that you are physically attracted to.
I don't think any of us would be here if our parents were not physically attracted to each other!
One caution - be careful of how you are defining "beauty". Most people are not made by God to look like models and yet our society has held this up as the standard of beauty and looks. Men and women are made come in different sizes, shapes, colors, etc. All have different features which stand out. Yet, all can be said to contain some kind of physical beauty.
Now, I am not saying all people are objectively equal physically, but rather we must be careful to remember beauty can come in many different ways. In other words, don't let the culture alone define "beauty" for you.
The most beautiful woman this world has ever seen may not have been the most physically beautiful women (by our culture's standards) - Mary.
I hope this helps.

I think God gave us the answer to this question in our bodies, and in many ways our society's culture of pornography has twisted the natural course of human attraction. Females today are expected to act like males and respond to visual stimuli, but biologically speaking that is not necessarily how women are stimulated.
Based on our sex (male or female) and the normal biological process of reproduction or just sexual intercourse in general, it seems to me that we should respond differently to appearances. Women should not necessarily be basing their relationships on physical attractiveness, especially if all the other aspects are there. This natural process ensures that children are brought up into homes with stable father figures rather than male models. Beauty will fade after all.
- Becky said...
I dated a guy I wasn't phsycially attracted to. We met in Church and I liked him for other qualities. After being married for 22 years and raising 11 kids together, I am NOW very much attracted to him and we love each other very much. When two people grow in love for one another, physcial attraction blooms as well.
- Marcel said...
This is not always the case. Physical attraction doesn't always bloom.
- Sarah said...
Who we are attracted to and who we are drawn to can be a personal and very subjective thing (sometimes for subtle reasons we aren't even aware of!), so I'm not sure it could be "wrong" to not want to date someone. It is okay to not be attracted to everyone. :) In fact, that would be quite the problem if you were!
Having said that, I do think it is helpful to watch patterns in our lives. If we find we regularly enjoy peoples' company, but are only attracted to a very specific "type" of person (and thus don't ever date) we might take time to explore that in prayer. Sometimes when we have a very specific "type" (only attracted to tall men, thin women, blonde hair, outgoing personality, etc.) there can be something underlying that. Maybe a girl is attracted to only strong, muscular men because it helps her feel pretty or protected, or a man is attracted to thin model-type women because it makes him feel manly or desirable. In those cases, it might be worth exploring our own insecurities and weaknesses to see if we are trying to compensate for them by dating a specific "type" that makes us "feel" a specific way.
For a long while my "type" was very outgoing, center-of-attention men. I much preferred them to carry the conversation, crack the jokes, and take center stage. But then I met someone who was quite introverted and a man of few words. Having some things in common and finding him interesting, I took the time to get to know him. Through that process I realized I actually had a lot to say when given the chance, and my own sense of humor came out more too. Point being, I would never have discovered those things about myself had I stuck with my "type". Previously sticking with my type enabled me to hang back and let the other person do much of the work in conversation. Branching out enabled me to bring more of who I am to a relationship.
Also, often for women (I can't really speak for the men) a man becomes more attractive as we get to know their personality, so attraction can certainly blossom after first impressions. We definitely shouldn't marry someone we aren't attracted to! But going on a few dates to get to know someone we aren't initially attracted to physically could be a great experience. We can often be surprised when we step out in openness to get to know another person.

About XBMC
XBMC is an open source media player, designed to work across a wide range of platforms, including Windows; Mac OSX and Linux. It actually began life on the Xbox gaming system. XBMC is one of the few media players which can play almost every format of audio and video file you can think of – and a whole lot more you've never heard of. It's designed for use on a TV screen at a distance and is therefore ideal for use on a wide variety of platforms. It can scan and index your music and video files and is an ideal choice to run at the heart of a compute-based audio and video system.
XBMC – an open source system
XBMC is open source – it's free and it's under constant development by teams of enthusiasts and programmers based all around the world. This means that at any point in its development there's a fully-functioning and totally stable version of XBMC which you can download and install, but if you wish to keep up with updates as they come along you can often find nightly updates available to the system – not always 100% tested, so beware. If in doubt stick to the current main release from XBMC.org.
This tutorial – getting started for audio replay only
Whilst XBMC will play back all your video files and control your computer's DVD player, as well as playing back your audio CDs, this tutorial is designed as a simple start-up guide for setting up XBMC to play back downloaded music files, such as the FLAC and MP3 files available here at Pristine Classical. You'll find similar principles apply to video replay, and you'll soon be setting up XBMC to show your local weather forecast or log onto the likes of YouTube for video streaming, but for now these are beyond the remit of this article – there's a huge amount of help and assistance available both in the XBMC user guide (a Wikipedia-style document available from their website) as well as at the XBMC forums.
1 – Download and install XBMC
Connect to http://xbmc.org and download the software – simply select the operating system that suits your computer – for most people this means either Windows or Mac. Once you've saved it on your computer, double-click to install the software and follow the on-screen instructions.
2 – Run XBMC for the first time
Start up XBMC and you'll find yourself at the main page. On the left of the screen you'll find a series of main headings, including Videos, Weather, Pictures and Music. Use the arrow keys and Return or your mouse to select Music.
The screen will now move into the Music section. The first time you start XBMC you'll need to tell it where your audio files are located on your computer: Click on Add Source and a file browser window will open. Select Browse and navigate to your main music folder – in my case I have a master folder called "Audio", within which are hundreds of sub-folders divided into genres, composers, works, artists etc., and in this case I simply select the main Audio folder; XBMC will scan all the subfolders if you ask it to.
You can give this folder a new name for use within XBMC if you wish, otherwise just click OK and it'll be added to the list of Music folders – set up more if you have music in multiple locations such as different hard drives.
1a – Play music directly from its stored location
Although XMBC's library scanning and searching facility results in a far more streamlined and powerful playback system, you can at this stage play recordings directly from their folders on your hard drive – a single click on a named folder as set up above will open it and display the audio files within. Indeed, if you have long MP3 files or similar with associated cue files XBMC will read the cues and display individual tracks in this mode. Simply point and click on a track title to start playback. However, there is a far more powerful tool at your disposal for finding and playing your music collection, as we shall see.
2 – Scan the music folder
Once back at the main Music menu, right-click on your newly added folder and select Scan item to library. XBMC will now get to work checking all your music files, identifying artists and works, and creating an onboard library which will greatly aid your selection and searching – it's ideal for very large libraries as well as more modest collections, going online if necessary to find artwork, biographies and more. In short,a couple of quick clicks and XBMC will create for you an entire annotated and cross-referenced catalogue of your entire music collection.
3 – Using Library mode
Once your music files have been scanned you can still navigate into the music directly by clicking on your main audio folder and opening subfolders, just as if you were using your computer's file system, as we have already seen.
However, far more powerful is the Library mode: If you press the left arrow button on your keyboard or roll the mouse pointer over to the left hand side of the screen you'll see a library menu open up. Here you can toggle Library mode on and off and begin a text-based search – depending on how your system is configured a range of other options may also be available here, but for now we'll stick to these.
4 – Simple search
If you click on the search box on the left hand menu you can type straight into it (a double-click or return opens a search box with virtual keyboard for mouse-only operation). Typing into the search box immediately starts the operation - XBMC searches on three possible parameters: Album title, Artist name and Track title, and displays the results in that order. These are all pieces of text information called ID3 Meta-data, or more simply tags, embedded into your music files when they are created (and you can update or alter them if you need to using special tagging software).
Say for example you type in the word Symphony. After a second or two a list will appear on the right hand side of your screen listing all the albums with the word Symphony in the title – e.g. Beethoven Symphony No. 9; A Faust Symphony etc. Next you'll see artists with the word Symphony in them, eg. London Symphony Orchestra; Toscanini, NBC Symphony Orchestra etc. Finally a list of tracks with the word Symphony in the title, e.g. BEETHOVEN Symphony 1 - 1st mvt; MOZART Jupiter Symphony, 3rd mov. etc.
If you click on a track it will begin playing immediately, and when it's finished it'll move onto the next track automatically with no gap.
If you click on an album title XBMC will open the album and list the tracks, ready for playback.
If you click on an artist XBMC will open a list of all albums on which that artist appears – click on these and the tracks on that album on which your artist appears will be displayed – again, click to begin playback.
5 – More ways to browse and access your collection
XBMC can do a lot more than simply offer a text-based searching system. At the root of the music system lies a series of options to access your music whilst in Library mode (if you close the system down in library mode you'll start up again in the same mode – I tend to stay in Library mode all the time); Right click on your list of tracks or search results and a sub-menu pops up: choose the Go to Root option and you'll see what's on offer.
XBMC can list all the artists, albums, tracks, genres and so on in your collection. It automatically builds up lists of most recently played and most recently added music for quick access, and it charts your preferences to produce Top 100 lists of both tracks and albums. All of these choices are on offer from the root menu, and of course you can always run a text search as before from this screen.
In fact, once in Library mode, the root menu is your start point when you begin an XBMC session and select Music. It's designed to be powerful yet intuitive, and wherever you are you can return to it with a right-click.
I hope this short article has given you a few useful pointers for getting started in XBMC. I've kept it as a text-based guide because updates to XBMC may change the visual interface slightly, though the underlying system remains the same (in fact, you can change the entire look and feel of the system to suit you using the skinning feature, but this is a whole different subject!). If you click below you can download a PDF version of this text – I suggest you print this off and have it to hand when you first start using XBMC to help you find your way around.
Click here to download this tutorial as a PDF text

Click here to download this tutorial as a PDF text
Beyond music you'll find similar principles of searching and navigation underpinning the video replay and library system. You'll also find many other powerful and potentially useful options available to you should you wish to use them. XBMC is a vast and powerful system which is well worth getting to know. Master it and you'll not want to return to the likes of iTunes or Windows Media Player for listening to music or watching films. Best of all it's entirely non-commercial – it's not designed to try and sell you anything and it's not designed to try to push (or lock) you into using a particular system or set of proprietary file types.
And if you don't like it? Simply uninstall it and it's gone, and it didn't cost you a penny to try it out!

"Too young for daycare"?
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 02-13-2008 - 10:12pm
I was considering going to work full time starting in the fall, and when I told my mother she said that 1 year old is too young for Joe to be suddenly thrust into full time daycare. When I think of the combination of how his separation anxiety will be at its peak and the fact that he's never been in daycare, I agree that for him, under his circumstances, it might be much less of a shock if I wait until he's 2 years old (of course by then I might be having my next child and the whole thing will start over again, LOL).
But anyway, "too young for full-time daycare"? What do you consider to be too young for full-time daycare? I've always had the "6 weeks, then back to work" American expectation in my head, so this is actually a new thought for me.
|Wed, 02-13-2008 - 10:30pm
I believe that newborn babies can get used to anything and will adapt, but that (exactly as you are suggesting) 12 months is not a good age to take a child from a SAHP situation to a DC situation.
|Thu, 02-14-2008 - 6:50am
i think infants adjust easily b/c they're you know..infants -- a 12-18 month old could have a rocky start BUT I imagine that rocky start will only fe a few days and will probably be harder on you than on him.... I'd talk to the daycare ahead of time about how they handle kids this age with separation anxiety issues... see if you can come up with a plan together.
good luck!

I went back to work full time when DD was 1. She's with DH all day, but it was still an adjustment for all of us. She had a rough few days, but you wouldn't know it now.
I think 12 months is a good age for kids to be in daycare. They are starting to really be able to interact with other kids.
If I were you, I'd probably go back to work-- especially since you have a pretty flexible job, right? Will you be teaching?

I prefer babies start in my daycare anywhere from 3 months to 6 months old.

Hi, I am a SAHM of a 17 month old boy. I wouldn't feel comfortable placing my child in the care of others (besides close trusted family) until they are at least old enough to talk and tell me how their day went. I personally would worry like crazy if my infant or young toddler were in dc. However, I think that if you're going to use a dcp one year old is not a great age to start. Two would probably

Hawks make play-offs again
RED OAK - On Halloween night the Hawks needed two things to happen to get into the play-offs again for the second straight year.
One was a win over the Mesquite Poteet Pirates and a Mabank loss to Lancaster.
Lancaster took care of Mabank and the Hawks had no tricks or treats for the visiting Poteet Pirates with a 35-0 victory.
For the second game in a row the Hawks defense held their opponent scoreless.
Coming off their bye week, the Hawks looked a little rusty at first, but got things on track by the second quarter and took a 14-0 lead into halftime.
The second half saw the Hawks offense really get into rhythm.
The offensive line knocked the Pirates defense around and created big holes for the running backs.
The offense put up 21 unanswered points.
The defense never let Poteet get close to the end zone and held Poteet to only seven first downs and 102 total yards while the Hawks offense put up 342 total yards.
Hawks' leading rusher, Nic Boyd, carried 14 times for 88 yards and quarterback Travis Wallis had a big night carrying four times for 62 yards.
The Hawks travel to Forney for their last district game of the season.
Forney is a good team and can put points on the board.
The Hawks defense will need to play like the last two games to get past Forney.
Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. in Forney.
Check the ROISD web site at http://www.redoakisd.org for directions and updated play-off information.
