Some times 6:30 in the morning arrives earlier than other times. This was one of those earlier times. But it's here, you're there and we have links and notes, so read on.
• Washington State: The Cougars practiced, as is their schedule, late Monday evening but unlike previous Monday's, they held practice inside the indoor facility up by the baseball field. We have some notes (along with a couple Cougar-related links and a question) from last night. We also had our first look at Arizona State in today's paper. … Jim Moore has some thoughts on the Huskies, and the Cougars, so we'll put his column here.
• Around the Pac-10: ESPN.com's Ted Miller takes care of the nuts and bolts with the conference, giving us the players of the week and the three quarterbacks who did qualify as Davey O'Brien semifinalists. Two notable absences: Jake Locker and Nick Foles. … Backup quarterback has become a key position in the Pac-10. … Washington: Speaking of Locker, despite being banged up, he said there is no way he won't play against Stanford. … Oregon State: For some reason I wasn't able to find anything worth passing on. … Oregon: The Ducks look at the regular season as a 12-round heavyweight title fight. Of course, some teams on their schedule are middleweights and some our flyweights. … Despite problems, USC is still a light-heavyweight at worst, and, like Michael Spinks, hope to upset the heavyweight champion. … Cal: The Bears have turned to Brock Mansion as their backup quarterback instead of Beau Sweeney. … Stanford: A dull day in Nor Cal. … USC: The Trojans, or at least quarterback Matt Barkley, see Saturday's game with Oregon in fighting terms as well, though it's another form of fighting. … UCLA: Two more players suspended for a game for violation of team rules. … Arizona State: Even if Steven Threet is healthy today and can practice, coach Dennis Erickson said Monday the Sun Devils may tweak their offense to make it easier on the quarterback. … The high temperature is supposed to hit 86 in Tempe on Saturday. Arizona: Nick Foles practiced Monday and may be the starter against UCLA on Saturday. Or maybe not. Mike Stoops isn't going to say.
• That's all for this morning. We'll be back after practice this evening. Between Paul Wulff's conference call and football practice, we have quite a lot of basketball responsibilities to take care off. … Someone asked for our Pac-10 predictions. We will share those a little later down the road as they'll be part of our college basketball special section in a couple weeks. … As we said, today we'll be back after football. Until then …

I've found that daq-0.2 or daq-0.3 compile fine with libpcap-1.1.1 on
RHEL5.5. However, we are currently several users who have technical
issues (segfaults) with snort 2.9.0x if you use libpcap-1.1.1. For that
reason, I have decided to revert to 1.0.0 for my rpms. All of my rpms,
including the source rpms are located at
Perhaps looking at the spec files would help you for building
libpcap-1.1.1 with daq-0.3.
Thanks the the pointer, I had actually looked at your repo but in a fit
of absent-mindedness didn't think to check for srpms (I need to rebuild
libpcap with DAG-support enabled, so most binary RPMS don't help me).
I'll have a peak.
Some subsequent testing suggests maybe there's just some library
search-path issues going on, but I haven't figured out what
libpcap-1.0.0 vs 1.1.1 do differently in that regard. Will report back
once I've got it sorted, I had just hoped someone else had done the work
for me.

"Fantastic idea for a movie. Terrible idea for a proctologist. Are you going to miniaturize me?"A plot that involves characters being shrunk to enter someone's body. Usually animated. Travel is often via submarine and scuba variants. Lighting is rarely a problem. Often has a time limit parameter, and at least one scene of just barely squeezing through some sphincter or valve as it closes. If there's a scene inside the stomach, expect to see either random inedible objects scattered around (even if the character isn't an Extreme Omnivore) or food that has been swallowed whole that would normally be too large (such as whole burgers). Sometimes both. Protagonists being menaced by Seeker White Blood Cells and/or giant tapeworms (well, giant to them) is also common. See also Incredible Shrinking Man. If there are normal-size invaders inside a giant's body, then you have been Swallowed Whole. Curiously, giant bodies tend to be filled with large open spaces for movement and even extended travel within, even if one was swallowed. Named for the granddaddy of them all, a movie co-starring Raquel Welch, which also spawned its own Animated Adaptation. An episode with this plot will usually contain some kind of direct homage to or parody of said film — a favourite being the infamous Clothing Damage scene. Bizarrely, the titles of such episodes surprisingly often reference Journey to the Center of the Earth instead, with the person's name or a noun that describes them in place of "the Earth". Not to be confused with the funkarific song by Lakeside. Compare and contast with Journey to the Center of the Mind, Ghost in the Machine, and Animate Body Parts. If somebody's body just happens to be the Adventure Town this week, you're probably just flying in a Womb Level.

The sports-touring Honda CBR1000F was always in the shadow of more exciting motorcycles, yet had a decade long production run. It had its good points, such as a comfortable riding position, good build quality - except for early camchain tensioner problems - and respectable handling. But the Honda CBR1000F is so bland it makes Katie Melua look like a brazen rock chick.

Never were the words "trusty little workhorse" so apt as to describe Honda's CB250. The latest incarnation, launched in 1992, represented the swansong for a motorcycle with a history going back to the 1970s. Trusted, reliable and entirely without pretence, the Honda CB250 is a cracking little motorcycle that's given long service to bikers everywhere.

The Honda CBR125R is an excellent 'mid market' 125. There are cheaper to buy / run bikes, like Honda's own CG125 but they lack kudos. There's a flotilla of fancy, mainly European motorcycles like Aprilia's gorgeous RS125 but they're silly money. But the Honda CBR125R's a tidy little motorcycle with a reliable four stroke engine, safe handling and brakes.

Collection DocumentationBack to Top
You want quick resolution of delinquent accounts. A well-organized paper trail that includes pertinent customer information and documentation will ensure delays are avoided.
Why Do I Need Documents?
Your collection professional needs to be armed with basic information in order to communicate and demand money from your debtor. Proper documentation, forwarded right at the beginning of the collection process, allows your collector to effectively handle the claim on your behalf.
Additional Credit & Collection ToolsBack to Top
Skip Tracing
Letters and phone calls from our in-house collector or local attorney can often prompt the debtor to pay the delinquent account. But what if the debtor cannot be located—what if the debtor "skipped town?"
At NCS we provide a skip tracing service as a collection tool. We will perform research to locate the debtor's whereabouts so that collection action can be pursued. Records used in our research may include phone number databases, credit reports (including information provided on a loan application, credit card application, and in other debt collector databases), job application information, criminal background checks, utility bills (electricity, gas, water, sewage, phone, internet, and cable), social security, disability and public tax information.
Account Placement ProgramBack to Top
The many dates, details and deadlines for projects can be overwhelming. Our Account Placement Program can help you get a clear picture of lien or bond claim rights and their deadlines, and help minimize future collection placements.
The placement option is a free service provided when placing an account for collection. We will review the account through our proprietary calculator, LienTracker®, to determine if lien or bond claim rights may exist.
If it appears rights exist, we will contact you to file a lien or a bond claim to secure your account.

There are two ways to look at the situation Pittsburgh Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury is in.
At 28 and with nine NHL seasons to his credit, the man from Quebec should be right in the middle of his prime years. Fleury should be flush with optimism about the future, as he has two seasons left on his contract with the Penguins, one of the league's perennial Stanley Cup contenders.
Instead, everything surrounding Fleury's professional life is up in the air. Despite putting together four straight average-to-above average regular seasons, his last four playoff performances have spanned from so-so (2010, 2011) to disastrous (2012, 2013). For two years running, Fleury has been on the bench when the Penguins were eliminated, not the ideal spot for a $5 million-a-year goaltender.
On top of all that, Fleury was left off Hockey Canada's Olympic orientation camp roster, with such non-luminaries as Mike Smith and Braden Holtby among the five goalies included. Needless to say, it would be easy for Fleury to dwell on the negatives as he contemplates his status with the Penguins – and as a starting NHL goalie.
Or, Fleury could choose to consider the alternative: he has nothing to lose and everything to gain.
That approach would get the approval of the sports psychologist Fleury is seeing this summer. According to Penguins general manager Ray Shero, former troubled winger Matt Cooke went through a similar process to change his headhunting ways. While Fleury's problems are more self-inflicted than Cooke's, a professional exploration of the psyche can only benefit the beleaguered netminder.
Since Fleury's postseason failings have been more about handling pressure than technical issues, choosing to look at his predicament as an opportunity could do him a world of good.
Admittedly, Fleury could put together his best regular season ever in 2013-14 and it still won't mean a thing once the playoffs start. That's a difficult place to be in. On the other hand, operating free of expectations can be liberating. It would be wise for Fleury to change his perspective to best suit his potential performance.
Sometimes fooling oneself is the best option. Maybe, with the help of psychology, Fleury can play worry-free between the pipes next season and carry those positive thought patterns into the playoffs.
If he doesn't, Tomas Vokoun has shown that he is more than capable of handling the big situations for the Penguins, at least for the near future. Fleury can choose to view that as a burden, or as a fresh chance to be the best goalie he can be.
As I'm sure his psychologist has told him by now, it's all in his head.
The Penguins announced Wednesday afternoon that they've come to terms with 24-year-old defenseman Robert Bortuzzo, thus avoiding salary arbitration. The 6-foot-4 Bortuzzo will earn $600,000 per year over the next two seasons.
The Pens now have eight blueliners under contract. Bortuzzo's signing puts Pittsburgh a little more than $1 million over the 2013-14 salary cap, opening the possibility of further roster moves to get under it by opening night in early October.

Cyprus and EU agree draft proposal to rescue banks
BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Cyprus, the European Union and the International Monetary Fund have agreed a new plan to resolve the island's bank and finance a rescue of the country, an EU official said early on Monday.
The proposal, which will now be presented to euro zone finance ministers for discussion, will involve setting up a "good bank" and a "bad bank" and will mean that Popular Bank of Cyprus, known as Laiki, will effectively be shut down.
Deposits below 100,000 euros (85, 232 pounds) in Laiki will be transferred to Bank of Cyprus. Deposits above 100,000 euros, which under EU law are not insured, will be frozen and will be used to resolve debt. It remains unclear how large the write-down on those funds will be.
The EU spokesman said there would be no "levy" imposed on any Cypriot banks, with the package requiring a full "bail-in" of uninsured depositors, which is likely to mean heavy losses for those with large holdings in Laiki and potentially Bank of Cyprus, where many Russians hold bank accounts.

Problem is that the chances of containing and solving this problem have been torpedoed by the Cypriot PM and MPs (in their almighty wisdom), as well as by "the people" (finally being able to tell the Eurozone to sod off). These days Democracy is, more often than not, reduced to tyranny of the majority .. a majority which isn't terribly bright.

Daily Fitness Diary 01/10/12: Bosu Medicine-Ball Twist
With fitness and life, it's always important to keep things fresh. Yesterday, I tried a new exercise that I saw in the Nov 2011 issue of Men's Health: the Bosu medicine-ball twist. Before yesterday, I had no idea what a Bosu ball was. It's essentially half of a swiss exercise ball with a small circular platform attached. Essentially, the exercise involves mounting the ball (which is easier said than done) with a 10 or 15 pound weight, standing flat on the ball with a slight bend in the knees & hips, and rotating the upper body as far to the left and right as possible. Throughout the exercise, it's important to keep one's hips forward and use only the core. I did about 10 reps on either side. What was amazing is how much energy, core especially, it takes to simply balance on the Bosu.

Cartoon-loving boffins from University of St Andrews believe they have found a way to reverse the "Casimir force" which causes really small things to stick to each other.

"Hover ships and raygun gloves still not really on the drawing board."
Im sure it wont be long befor the US DoD is working on them to go along with there Vomit ray and human Microwave gun.

Lewis, your writing style is progressing magnificently. Thank you for a very funny article.
Finally a use for David Beckham
Seems that this effects reliance on golden balls will actually make the guy scientifically interesting, do we have to make him especially thin in the process too ??
Posted Anon as I dislike admitting to knowing his nick name
The Potential for Lizard Abuse
This is where we get the first indication that the ROTM is actually our lizard overlords who, having seen the future, are determined to do what it takes to preserve their little gecko cousins - including wiping us out with speed-crazed Renaults if that's what's needed.
Thanks for the warning, Lewis. Now, where is my pickaxe ? I have to start digging that underground bunker in my back yard. Maybe I'll also raise a few geckos, just to prove that I didn't harm them.
"Lewis, your writing style is progressing magnificently. Thank you for a very funny article."
I considered it probing and deeply thoughtful too with a plethora of AVenues.
"..but in the meantime the potential for lizard abuse would be horrific." Or terrific for wizard lizard potential.
"Clearly, this [is not true] - "
Is truly Ambiguous which would cause a Doubt easily Dismissed as IT was Created to Shield the Truth.

Global warming gone mad.

I laughed so hard, I became momentarily incontinent. Must've been that gecko saute I had for dinner. So maybe those feet really were "floating in oil".
Where's the IT angle?
Only kidin'
Fantastic article, I can't wait for my flying Gecko-Car
I stuck live geckoes to my hands and feet years ago, in the hopes of becoming a gecko-powered spiderman (geckoman?). The problem is, I've been sitting in the same position ever since, permanently stuck to the ground. Maybe this is the answer I'm looking for? Please could somebody ask these boffins to install polarity-reversing switches (aka any given Star Trek episode) on the backs of my geckoes, then I'll be able to climb buildings AND hover.
Car insurance
For all the American readers, should make for some more amusing Geico insurance ads - a cockney flying gecko (geico.com for the Brits and yeah in the tv ads he's got a Cockney accent)
Levitating Geckos scientifically justified...
http://arxiv.org/pdf/quant-ph/0502183 says that Van der Waals forces are the maths-lite version of the Casimir Effect - i.e. the one that doesn't require you to push your brain through a colander. (I'm paraphrasing.) Even Wikipedia is prepared to say that - well almost.
Which leads me to conclude that levitating lizards are perfectly scientifically justifiable. But if you have any doubts, talk it over with your local lizard army recruiting rep. ;)
Not enough...
...Spaceballs fans to recognise the quote on the strap line? Shocking! (or just no one else wants to admit to it?)
Zero Point Modules
Stargate got it right!
Maybe you could write something interesting or informative instead of this nonsense.
I, for one, welcome our new frictionless, air-skating overlords!
Thanks for an interesting and informative article
I can see the obvious IT angle, as well; if I could get frictionless sleeve bearings on my CPU cooler fans, I wouldn't have to replace them every few years.
On a more serious note
Did anyone reading the article notice that this effect depends on a material with a negative refractive index? A material with a negative refractive index is one where light moves *faster* than it does in a vacuum. Not much of that to be found laying about, I'm afraid.
"Did anyone reading the article notice that this effect depends on a material with a negative refractive index? A material with a negative refractive index is one where light moves *faster* than it does in a vacuum. Not much of that to be found laying about, I'm afraid."
Not much ... but there would seem to be some.

Superb article
A fascinating subject, lucidly explained, and accompanied by side-splitting humor... You don't see that every day.
what no mega-maid??
What a shame, a good articale missed out on being great, due to a lack of further SpaceBalls related humour, not even a reference to mega-maid.
vacuum not empty?
"Empty space is not empty, but is filled with the quantum vacuum"
I actually proved this at the age of 5 in the science museum. They had an electric bell (these were pretty much state of the art electrickery at the time) in a glass jar connected to a vacuum pump. One of the obligatory push buttons on the cabinet pumped the air out of of the jar; pressing the bell push demonstrated that nobody can hear you scream in the science museum.
At that point people started mumbling stuff about vacuuii (or doesn't vacuum decline?).
Q. what's a vacuum. A. it's nothing.
Q. what's in the jar? A. a vacuum.
Killer reply: so there's something in the jar.
I am the Supreme Galactic Gecko Overlord Gerri. I take great offense to your flagrant lack of respect for Gecko rights.
If you Human Earthies keep messing with the quantum vacuum zero-point energy, you may open up a Kerr loop temporal rift in the local space-time contiuum which would swallow the Earth.
On second thoughts we hope you do, it'll save us invading Earth, keep up the good work.
Vacuum not exactly overwelmingly obvious
If this only works in a vacuum, I'm afraid the commercial implications are underwelming as I have forgotten the last time I saw one.
Lazy Bugger
@Steve B - so I guess you don't help with the housework, then? :-)
Great Posibilities
.. for some hot action... Gecko Hover-porn coming to a screen near you...
"Theoretical physicists at the University of St Andrews"
"according to calculations done by physicists in the UK. Ulf Leonhardt and Thomas Philbin of the University of St Andrews reckon that the repulsive force may even be strong enough to levitate a tiny mirror"
So they haven't actually done this, they have just worked out a way to make the equations say it can be done ... shame.
Been around for a while
S*d the Geckos
Time to make a Zeee Peeee Emmmm, then dig up a stargate!
Actually the idea of being able to remove this property from Gecko feet and then watch the little buggers trying to climb things amused me too.
does this my dream...
of an ice cream repelling bowl is a step closer, no more having to put my face into the bowl to get those scrapings of melted sweet!!
Never mind geckos...

$100 Half-Day Designs: Create a Cozy Reading Nook
Custom shades, chocolate paint and candles are used to create a cozy reading nook.
Print OptionsClose
E-mail This Page to Your Friendsx
A link to %this page% was e-mailed
Materials and Tools:
drop clothes
painter's tape
bamboo Roman shade
2" L-brackets
1/2" wood screws
screw gun
plywood board (10" wide and 4" longer than the opening)
staple gun
1. Lay down drop cloth and tape around the inset of the window so the paint doesn't bleed onto the wall. Use paintbrush and roller to paint the inside of the window. Allow the paint to dry, and add another coat if necessary.
2. Hang the bamboo Roman shade using the included hardware. Put the screws into the window frame using the screw gun. Run the level across the two brackets to make sure it's level before hanging the shade.
3. To build the cornice, cut the plywood to the desired dimensions. Your local hardware store can make the cuts for you. For this project, they cut it to ten inches wide and a length that will protrude past the opening by at least two to four inches on each side.
4. Lay the plywood on top of the batting. Cut the batting so there's at least two or three inches around each edge of the plywood.
5. After the batting is cut out, trim the corners to prevent excess bunching. Do this by pinching the batting the corners and cutting them at the level of the plywood.
6. Staple the batting onto the plywood with the staple gun. Start along one edge pulling it tight as you add each staple. Place a staple every three to five inches.
7. After the batting has been firmly stapled in place, lay batted plywood on the fabric and cut out enough fabric to cover up the batting entirely. Wrap the fabric around the wood, folding it under the edge of the batting and stapling it tight. Pull it tight as you go so you don't have any wrinkles or creases. Flip the piece over as you work to make sure this in the case.
8. Screw the L-brackets to the back of the plywood cornice using the screw gun and the 1/2-inch woods screws. Use the level to make sure the brackets are at the same height so the cornice won't be askew.
9. Screw the other side of the brackets into the underside of the inset using the screw gun. Have a partner help you hang it to make sure you have it evenly placed on either side of the window.

Most epic song ever.

I wanted the pain more than your empty bag of promises. I need the hurt to conceal the truth.
Once again a lovely plan ripped to shreds.

Just live in the present and be happy. xxx
Thank you so much anon, this made me so much happier. I'm trying my best at the moment, but sometimes thinking ahead just happens. I think I'm starting to understand now that what I feel and how I feel is okay. And that I can cope with it, I just have to really want it. Thank you again whoever you are x x x x

Kind of, but not really. I saw him a couple of times but that was it. It's not because I still fancy him that I put it up, it's because I look so happy in it and even I can tell how happy I was in that moment.
Another drug another hit
Another mask that just don't fit
No end to the pills the self loathing and the strife
Someone give me a fucking knife.
Another dawn another lost faith
Another person you can't face
No more hope for the dreams
Someone's splitting at the seems
Another love another loss
Another person who didn't give a toss
No more belief in humanity
Life is just one great profanity
Another hour another day
Another scar won't fade away
No end to the pills, self-loathing and the strife
I want an end to this life.

As the Thanksgiving weekend draws to an end, I think of all I am grateful for.
Many of you spent time each day in November to acknowledge something you are grateful for in your lives, and so did I. Today, however, I'd like to think about all I have to be thankful for regarding our industry.
For me, handcrafted soap and body products has afforded me many opportunities. From creating to selling and making a business of what I love to the related positions I have taken part in and will be involved with in the future, this has been an exciting roller coaster ride–and it isn't over! So many of you share the same, although you may include candles in your repertoire.
Of course, I must thank our readers who have chosen to spend some of their hard earned cash to subscribe to the Saponifier and who read it faithfully, from cover to cover. We wouldn't exist without you and assure you that we strive to make the magazine the best publication for our industry .
Isn't it wonderful how something as simple as an artisan soap, candle or body scrub can change a person's life? How has it changed yours?
So, now that December is upon us, and we rush headlong into that season called, "The Holidays," let us continue to remember how fortunate we are to have found such an enjoyable art, whether it be a hobby or a job.
Until next time, may your days be filled with bubbles and wax,
Beth Byrne for the Saponifier
Go Forth and Color: Ultramarines and Oxides
In three installments, we have reviewed the various types of colorants that can be used in soap and bath and body products. We've talked natural colorants, such as spices and herbs, as well as FD&C dyes and micas.
Finally, in our series on colorants, we explore ultramarines and oxides. Many soapmakers think they are "from the earth" natural, but that isn't quite true, and it's a good thing! At one time, these colorants were used, but it was found that they contained contaminants such as arsenic. Since then, they have been lab-created, free of toxins, to be what is termed, "nature identical."
Ultramarines and oxides have long been used in soap and cosmetics. Users like them because they generally remain true to color in products and are inexpensive considering the amounts needed to provide color. Use a small amount for pastel color and more for intense color. These are matte colorants. Mix ultramarines in a bit of water or glycerin before adding them to your soap base and add oxides to a bit of your soapmaking oils before adding them to your base so that they don't clump or speckle.
They are used for mineral makeup and for bath and body products, but again, test them before you sell to make sure you're product is not oozing color all over the tub, shower and washcloths. Customers are not generally happy when that happens!
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is often included in this category, but it is unique in that it occurs naturally in minerals and is extracted for use in dozens of applications other than bath and body, from food to siding to paper.
Now, you have it. Go forth and color!
Until next time, may your days be filled with bubbles and wax.
Beth Byrne for the Saponifier
The Soapmaker's Sweet Spot
What kind of soapmaker are you? Do you plan out your offerings far in advance? Do you spend time developing intricate designs and precise colors? Or, do you make soap as the spirit moves you? Do you prefer soap with simpler colors and patterns, either because you're not the fancy kind or to speed production?
A more important question to consider is whether it's important or not to plan far ahead, to make artistically designed soaps, to be a free spirit or to keep it simple.
The answer, of course is, it depends–on a number of factors.
For some of soapmakers, simply making soap is the satisfaction, be it fancy or simple, unusually shaped or rectangle, scented or not, it doesn't matter. The magic of combining the alkali and oils and getting lovely soap is a reward unto itself. For others, the design part of making soap is a large part of the attraction. Artistic souls are moved by the possibilities of making patterns in striking color combinations and it keeps them going.
As for planning, well, planners know whom they are and free-spirits know whom they are! For some, planning is painful and stifles creativity, so they make what they want when the spirit moves them. Others find that careful planning is the only way to get soap made and made well.
So then, should we all be striving for the same outcome? Absolutely not!
If you're selling soap, you realize that all things about your nature must be tempered by business demands. It's a simple fact that you cannot run a successful business without a good degree of planning, regardless of whether you enjoy it or not. You also realize that you need to produce soap as quickly and as efficiently as possible in order to maximize time and thus, profits. This realization usually forces us to streamline our creativity into something that we can do easily and can reasonably replicate. Hobbyists, on the other hand, you have the freedom to spend as much time as you like to develop your skills and put your artistic abilities to work.
Even so, I hope that each soapmaker finds his or her "sweet spot." Gorgeous or utilitarian, rectangular or round, full of additives or not, well-planned or by-the-seat-of-your-pants, all have a place and a purpose. Finding your purpose and working with your personality is the key to success, however you define it. The Saponifier's goal is to open you up to the possibilities to help you on your way.
Until next time, may your days be filled with bubbles & wax.

Oh, Those Lazy, Hazy, Crazy Days of Summer!
Proms are taking place–graduation ceremonies, too. The school year is near or at its end and those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer are almost upon us in the Northern Hemisphere. Soon, we'll be sleeping in, taking picnics and lying in our hammocks with a cold beverage at our sides.
I can hear you now. "Lazy? I don't think so!" I know and I agree. Still, you must admit that it sounded good for awhile, didn't it? Ever since I became an adult I wondered who was enjoying those lazy, hazy days, because it wasn't me! Crazy yes; lazy and hazy, not so much. In fact, this time of year is probably second only to Christmas holiday season for many of us, especially if we are gearing up for or already selling at summer festivals. We're more likely making product at a hectic pace than we are lying in a hammock. (Naturally, you will want to take some time to soak in the newest edition of the Saponifier, and read up on everything moisturizing!)
Even so, it's exciting to get ready for the summer sales season (say that three times fast), whether you have a brick-and-mortar shop in a resort town, you sell at the many festivals taking place or you wholesale to stores. You have the opportunity to critique yourself this season, as well. Are you focusing on your business plan? Is your product line popular and pared to the best products? Is your display as attractive as it should be? Are you charging appropriately for your costs? If you find yourself perfectly on target, it's time for a pat on the back and a nudge to keep on going. If not, watch for what you need to change and get your plan in place.
I don't think I can give you any tips that will promise you that lazy summer, but if it's going to be crazy, it might as well be a good and profitable crazy!
Welcome to the lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer.
Until next time, may your days be full of bubbles and wax.

The Mom Market
It's no surprise that since Mother's Day is upon us, that my mind is on mothers. Mothers come in all sizes and shapes. They come in all types of personalities, as well. Some are new, others are more experienced. And yes, some are better at their jobs than others. By and large, however, they love their children deeply and unconditionally. They are their greatest source of satisfaction and joy, and admittedly, confusion and concern. It comes with the territory.
How many of us owe our core businesses to moms? I don't mean by what our own moms taught us, although that is a good thing to acknowledge and appreciate, but our target market. If most of your customers are women, you may very well be marketing to mothers, and you're likely wooing them by offering their favorite scents, colors and the products they use most. If this is true for you, how do you market to them? How do you find them and how do you keep them as customers? We know that moms are busy, so we need fresh ideas and tactics to reach their attention quickly and effectively. Of course, your product selection and appearance are paramount to catching their attention. Beyond that, what do you consider important? Deciding which kind of mom you're catering to will help guide you. If you offer vegan products, you're looking for a certain kind of mom–a "granola" mom who appreciates and seeks your offerings. Others may be looking for organic moms or fashionista moms or moms in search of younger looking skin. For every type of mom, a soap, bath and body or candle maker exists. You just have to choose your kind of mom, develop your product line around her, and help her to find you. Once she does, provide a quality product and service, and you'll have a long-term customer.
Indeed, one of the things I like best about my job is knowing that I am supplying a mom with something to make her day more pleasant and a product that she feels good about using. I like thinking that my products make her feel pampered and pretty or well taken care of.
What about you? What kind of mom do you market to? What makes it worth the effort to you?
If you're a hobbyist, you aren't worried about marketing, but you probably make products to please others in your lives, such as relatives and teachers. Whom do you create for?
Don't forget to treat your mom on Sunday if you're blessed to have her! If you are a mom, let your family spoil you a little bit and take the day off. Happy Mothers' Day!
Until next time, may your days be filled with bubbles and wax.

What's in a Name?
"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet."
William Shakespeare,
Romeo and Juliet
What's in a name? If we take the fictional Juliet at her word, we might think, "not much." The reality, however, is much different. Yes, your rose scented candle or soap smells the same no matter which moniker you attach to it; but, in marketing the scent, you might want to take it a step further and create a name for your rose scent that evokes the imagination in a way that plain, old "rose" cannot. For example, Dewy Rose, Ramblin' Rose or Rose Cascade, say something more, something that triggers the imagination to become fully engaged with the scent. By mere mention, the customer pictures roses at dawn before the dew dries off, or a strong-scented wild rose happily tumbling through the field with its wide open, simple flowers, or even a heavily blooming climbing rose bush, delighting both the eyes and the nose as it appears to flow down its peak.
If your scent lacks a strong single, natural note, you have even more room to play. Close your eyes and take a little sniff. Let your mind wander and explore as it searches for a description of what you are smelling. Does it remind you of a certain time of day or place? Do you recall the scent somewhere in your past? Do you see colors? Are you transported to another season? What kind of person do you feel would be attracted to this scent? Any of these will provide you with material for choosing a name.
Conversely, perhaps this scent is indicative of a time period or a particular culture. Do a little research and be open to names that pop out as you read. Medieval Castle or Savannah Breeze may be your newest scent name.
Of course, clever naming isn't relegated to scent, but to product, as well. You'll want to be clear in your name what your product is, but you do have some poetic leeway for making the name unique and appealing. Why sell lip balm in a pot when you can sell lip butter? Lotion is great, but body cream may be more attractive to certain customers.
You might even go totally off convention and choose a name that you have made up. As long as it's simple enough and pronounceable, it may be just the thing to get customers talking. It worked for George Eastman and Kodak; it may work for you!
Until next time, may your days be filled with bubbles and wax.

Is it Natural?
"Is it natural?" If you make soap or body products, you've probably been asked this question numerous times. How do you answer?
This question is much more difficult than people often realize. The average consumer is used to seeing the term, "natural," several times each day, and seldom knows how to determine whether the product is truly natural or not. In fact, they most often take it for granted that the natural product they're buying is indeed, natural.
Those of us in the industry take a harder look at the issue, but may come away as confused as the average consumer.
Why is this? It's a simple answer to a difficult concept. We have in the USA, no formal, uniform definition for the term, "natural," where it applies to soap and body products. Therefore, companies are in full compliance with FDA regulations when they call their products natural, no matter what is in them. Yes, you read that right. You may be appalled at what you suppose to be an oversight of government, but actually defining natural is harder than it appears on the surface. Sure, we all think we know what natural is. We may be hard-pressed to define it, but we have a "know it when we see it" idea of natural–except that it's not that simple.
For instance, seeing dimethicone on an ingredient label, most of us would agree that it isn't a natural ingredient. Nevertheless, it began as a silica and is mixed with oxygen, carbon and hydrogen to get dimethicone. If it is made from natural ingredients (albeit not plant-based), is it natural?
Let's take a look at di-propylene glycol. It began as crude oil, which is natural, but through many processes, becomes a clear, odorless liquid which is listed as GRAS (generally regarded as safe) and is used by the food industry? Is it natural?
You might use cornstarch or its more processed cousin, modified corn starch or modified tapioca starch. Some consider cornstarch to be natural, but not modified cornstarch; however, good old cornstarch is a processed product. Are either of them natural?
How about fractionated coconut oil? Some consider it natural, while others do not, citing the processing necessary to separate the long chain fatty acids from the short ones. What's your opinion?
Some believe that even essential oils are not natural, due to the efforts involved to distill or otherwise obtain the essence of the plant.
Confused? The subject is confusing, for sure. Given the complexities, which I believe shall prove to be more common as science and cosmetics develop, discerning natural will only become more difficult.
It is true that a few organizations for natural products do exist and that they have set down standards to which their members adhere, but the organizations are entirely voluntary and hold no power of regulation. You may even find, if you were search them out and read their standards, that you may or may not agree with them.
So, what is natural? I think I'll leave that to you to decide!
Until next time, may your days be filled with bubbles & wax.

Creating Your Signature Soap
Creating your own soap formulas; does the very thought appall you or does it excite you? Perhaps you're shrugging your shoulders saying, "I do that all the time." or "Been there, done that. I worked and tweaked and found my own formula a long time ago."
If you identify with the former, read on. If it's the latter, well, read on to see if you agree.
My opinion is that every soapmaker should eventually develop her own formula(s). It's fine to start out with a well-designed, simple formula, but somewhere along the line, she should become curious about other oils and percentages and manipulating them to create a signature soap that she loves. Yes, some of us get a bit carried away with this concept and never stop tweaking, but that's another story for another day.
I've known soapmakers who enjoy the experimentation part more than any other component of soapmaking. I've also known a few who found a recipe in a magazine twenty years ago and have used that formula since and that one only. I suppose that isn't a bad thing as long as it's a good formula, but you'll be a more knowledgeable soaper if you step out of your comfort zone and learn more about various oils and methods by doing some research and experimentation.
If you're a brand new soapmaker, by all means, get a good formula, follow the directions, and make soap (after after putting your formula through a lye calculator). If your first batch turns out well, it will encourage you to keep going.
Once you become more familiar with making soap, study various oils to learn more about what they have to offer soap. Some oils produce lather, some harden the bar and others are skin conditioning. A balanced bar will include good percentage of each. From there, you'll probably look for formulas for specialty soaps, such as facial bars and mechanics soap. That's where knowing your oils will come in handy and will save you valuable time and supplies in formulating those bars.
After some time and trials, you'll consider yourself a knowledgeable soapmaker. You'll realize how little you knew at the beginning, and even though your soap was good then, you're just so much smarter now!
Have you created your own formulas yet? Are you fearful of doing so, or have you enjoyed the process? Share with us what you've learned.
Until next time, may your days be filled with bubbles and wax.

How Will Your Personality Type Affect Your Business?
It's January. A new year is upon us, full of hope for the future. It's time to let go of any failures, mistakes or bad attitudes of 2012 and spend 2013 pursuing our dreams.
It sounds good, doesn't it? We can let go of time wasted, attempts that we aborted and opportunities we let slip through our fingers. Depending upon how you tend to look upon the world, it may or may not be true. So, how does your personality affect your business?
If you're a glass half full person, you're probably charging your way down January's road with glee and with the proverbial stars in your eyes. You quickly forget problems of the past year or are able to chalk them up to experience as you make new plans to rule the soap/candle/bath & body world. We'll call you Olga the Optimist.
On the other hand, if you're a glass half empty type, you may be feeling a bit depressed, unable to let go of how this last year wasn't what you wanted. You realize all too well your faults–you're too shy, not motivated enough, a poor sales person, your products aren't quite as beautiful as the next person's, you hate bookkeeping; they all haunt every potential plan. You're destined to repeat 2013, no matter how well others think you did. We'll call you Paula the Pessimist.
If you're a realist, thinking about how the glass is both half full and half empty, you know that things can be very, very good or very, very bad, or anywhere in between. You tend to set realistic goals and make contingency plans. You don't reach for the sky, but you're not hiding in a corner, either. You know that hard work and perseverance will get you to a certain place. Your moniker is Roy the Realist.
People think that Olga the Optimist will go far, and indeed, it's often true. She is able to let go of past mistakes and continue on. Nevertheless, her enthusiasm at times gets in the way of good sense, and her ability to forget compounds her mistakes because she doesn't always learn from them.
Paula the Pessimist I liken to Eeyore, the donkey of Winnie the Pooh fame. Eeyore types always remember the bad and never think things will work out well. On the plus side, they see the pitfalls ahead and are very good at planning, often with some coaxing from a more optimistic person.
It would seem that being like Roy is best because he or she is, well, realistic. However, this type of person usually doesn't reach as far as the optimist would and is in danger of not accomplishing all the he could in his endeavors. Not that there is anything wrong with being realistic, but a little dreaming is good, too.
You know what comes next–which one are you? More importantly, is there any help for the negative parts of our personalities?
My answer is yes, of course! Knowing yourself, the good parts as well as the not-so-good parts, is key to success. You can teach yourself to hold back, to push forward, or to overcome other obstacles you face. You can partner up with someone as a mentor who will compliment your personality and help where you are lacking. You do possess what it takes to dream and make your dreams come true.
It's January. Go get 'em!
Until next time, may your days be filled with bubbles and wax.

What Does 2013 Look Like to You?
Hanukkah is over and Christmas is almost here! By now, if you celebrate, you're probably checking your lists and making last-minute purchases or creations, decorating your home or attending the season's festivities. In all your doing, don't forget something very important to your business. You may be thinking, "I know. I need to get my tax receipts ready," or, "I need to notify my customers that I am taking a vacation," or even, "I just have a few orders to fill." They're all important, for sure, but not what I'm talking about today.
The most important activity you will undertake for your business is a review of 2012 and planning for 2013. Start with reviewing your business plan. Does it need revision, or do you simply need to review it so as not to lose sight of your goals? Next, take a look at your activities for this past year. What worked and what didn't? What propelled you toward your goals and what made you stray? Did you find that you fulfilled your plans or did you fail to make them?
If, for instance, you find that the small craft shows you did were a financial loss, ask yourself why. It may be that this is not the venue for you or that your customers are not there–at least not at the ones you were at. It may be that your booth needs an overhaul or that you need to work on your sales skills.
Perhaps you've been wanting to secure wholesale accounts, but have been afraid to take that step. Now is the time to research the subject so that when you approach a business owner, you will do it with the knowledge and confidence of a seasoned professional, thus providing an attractive product that makes it hard to refuse.
You may want to get serious about business by developing a website, a Facebook presence and joining a professional organization. You'll need to research, plan and work, which will take time and resources, so good planning is critical.
Have you missed the boat once again on holiday products because you didn't start them early enough? This is where planning comes in! Think about how much time you'll need to get a product ready to roll out and write in on a calender.
Of course, planning is essential even to hobby soapers/chandlers. Doing so will increase your productivity and decrease your last-minute stress, and who doesn't value that?
Don't be afraid to ask for opinions and advice, but be careful whom you ask. The help of professionals such as accountants and lawyers will be invaluable, as will your customers' and even others in your field or other small business owners. Be careful of naysayers, however, who will dissuade you without having the basis to do so or those who haven't the background to advise you in crucial matters. Gather up your research, opinions and advice and make your informed decisions.
Seriously considering all of these factors will serve you well as you embark on the new year. Granted, it's actually a little late if you haven't begun already, but better a little late than not at all!
What does 2013 look like to you?
Wishing happy holidays to all,

It was more one of those angry 'wanna hurt you, possibly kill you' type of days. (Source: soundandsurfing, via opticallyaroused-deactivated201)1 month ago / 2,088 notescz
