Korean beauty (or K-beauty) skincare routines have been growing in popularity over the last few years. While many Korean skincare brands have become readily available in the U.S. (or have always been available if you're like me and live in a place like Queens and grew up seeing some of this stuff), many American brands have been jumping into the K-beauty trends and making products that mimic some of the items you'd see in a typical 10-step Korean skincare routine. This is great for skincare junkies like me who feel the need to know about as many products as possible, but for many it can be confusing. Several terms like essence, cleansing oil (see my cleansing oil posts here), softener, etc. have been popping up on the packaging of skincare products and many are now showing up on the shelves of drugstores and mass market retailers and it's like "Uh, is this stuff the same? Do I need this? How does this all even work?" So I'm here to break it on down to make it slightly easier to understand the differences between toner vs essence vs serum. And for good measure I also added in micellar cleansing water.
When I first heard of the 10-step (or sometimes 12-step) skincare method, I'm not going to lie I did roll my eyes because in these days of internet beauty, people can be out here doing the MOST but then when I read that it was a KOREAN 10-step skincare method and read what actually goes into it, I realized it can sometimes be pretty easy to get up to 10-steps in your skincare routine. I mean, my cleansing method when I'm wearing makeup requires two sometimes three steps. Then my treatment product makes four, my eye cream makes five and then my moisturizer makes six. If it's one of the times I need to exfoliate there's another (optional) step. And if I happen to be using serum at the time there's another one. Read this post on Into the Gloss and this one on Elle.com to get a better understanding. Some of the newer skincare terms you hear stem from the 10-step routine.
But understand you don't need to go counting all the steps in your routine to make sure you have ten…lol. And there isn't anything wrong if your routine only has four steps. We all have varying skincare needs and concerns so our routines won't all look the same.
Most of us probably grew up understanding what toner is. It was the step used after cleansing to restore the skin's PH balance and sometimes to also remove any traces of dirt your cleanser missed. In general cleansers on the market today are more gentle than they used to be so many skincare experts believe there isn't always a need for toner in your routine. This isn't to say if you use one you shouldn't be using it—if it works for you by all means of course, use it. Some of my skincare-loving friends swear by toners in their routine and their skin looks amazing—but so does mine…lol. I just don't find a need for them in *my* routine.
Toners used to get a bad rap for being over-drying and filled with alcohol but even the ones today are more gentle and softer. You'd pick a toner based on your skincare type and needs—there are hydrating toners, oil-controlling toners, brightening toners—you name it. Typically toners are included in a brand's particular skincare line—you know how you might go to a beauty counter and the salesperson is trying to sell you the brand's cleanser, toner, and moisturizer? A lot of that is of course marketing but skincare brands many times actually do tailor their products to work in conjunction with each other so you could get better results using them in tandem. Depends on your preference and what you need in your routine and of course the ingredients. I personally don't always use all the products from a line, but when I do it's because it makes the most sense for my current skin situation. For example right now I'm using the Murad Anti Aging Acne line because the cleanser, acne/wrinkle treatment, and daytime moisturizer all work hand in hand.
Our toner step is often referred to as "refreshers" in K-beauty. It's essentially the same thing but refreshers are typically softer and less harsh than our toners.
Micellar/Cleansing Water
Cleansing water or micellar water (or sometimes micellar cleansing water) has also gained in popularity over the years. It's not a toner, it's not an essence, and it's definitely not a serum. The robust description is that it's made of micelles which are tiny balls of cleansing oil suspended in soft water. In easier to digest terms, it's something that can remove makeup (although many formulas you still might need a makeup wipe or cleansing oil to completely remove your makeup before using the cleansing water—especially heavy foundation and eye makeup) and also softly cleanse the skin often without water.
This might be a good product to have if you workout on the go and want to give your skin a quick cleanse without having to go through a whole routine. Or for nights when you're COMPLETELY tired and feel like you just can't go through your whole routine micellar water can come in handy for a quick cleanse before hitting the hay.
You can also use it after your cleansing process to make sure you remove any extra traces of makeup or dirt. I use the Caudalie Cleansing Water currently to make sure I get all the makeup off around my hairline especially when I'm being careful when I wash my face so I don't revert my edges…lol.
Though some may use this in place of cleansing, I personally cannot use just micellar water to properly cleanse my skin. I can see those with more sensitive and drier skin possibly benefitting from maybe using micellar water to cleanse in the morning and doing a regular routine at night—perhaps in colder weather when skin can be even drier. You'd have to give it a try (if you're interested of course…lol) to see how it could (or not) work in your routine.
Toner and essence are NOT the same thing. They may seem like it because essence can look like toner and it gets applied in a similar fashion after cleansing but there is a difference. Essences are more like serums in a sense except because of the makeup of an essence, serums can carry more ingredient. An essence may contain one or more active ingredients but aren't as concentrated as the active ingredients you'd find in a serum.
Essentially an essence's job is to prep the skin for the next step in your routine and help aid in the regeneration process. Regeneration (or cell turnover/renewal) is the process the skin goes through to renew itself—shed the top layer of dead skin and allowing "fresh" "new" skin to radiate and shine through. When your skin is dull or less radiant, it's often due to the renewal process slowing down which can lead to an accumulation of dead skin on the surface blocking out your glow. I experience this most in the winter as the skin's renewal process tends to slow in the colder months.
An essence may may have a watery texture but some can be thicker in consistency than a toner and may come in a bigger bottle—almost like toners do but again, essence isn't toner.
And of course because I feel like the beauty world loves it when things are confusing, some brands call an item an essence when it's really a toner. You'll figure out what's what by reading what the product does and what ingredients it includes. Essences don't cleanse and like I mentioned earlier contain one or more active ingredients.
Essence is typically applied with your hands and is gently patted into the skin but of course follow the instructions written on the product.
Essence and serum sound like they're similar but the biggest difference is serums are able to hold more concentrated active ingredients than essences can. You *could* use both in your routine but again, both aren't always necessary. I don't always have a need for serum in my routine, but when I need them I LOVE them. The last serum I used had to be something that helped with brightening and bringing back radiance. There are many serums out there for any number of skincare concerns—anti-aging, brightening, acne, hyperpigmentation/uneven skin tone, hydrating, etc.
In Conclusion:
Cleansing water isn't toner. Toner isn't essence. Essence isn't toner. Essence sounds like serum but essence isn't serum. Serum isn't essence. Serum packs more concentrated ingredients than essence. You can use essence and serum during your routine if needed but I've read that may be more optimal for those with drier skin types. I'm oily in case you were wondering.
You also don't have to have all of these things in your skincare routine. I currently don't use toner nor do I use essence. I have a bunch of them that brands send me though as a result of writing about skincare for a living. I also don't always have a need for serum, but when I do, I find them to be awesome.
But that's the thing about skincare: part of having a skincare regimen is knowing your skin type and what your concerns are and then looking into products/procedures that address your skin type and concerns. And then understanding that your skin needs and concerns can change from time to time (especially when the seasons change) and you may have to adjust your routine accordingly.
My advice is always to consider your skin type and needs and then spend some time looking through the skincare aisles to see the different products that speak to your skin type and needs. Take pictures of the products that most interest you. Ask for samples to try at home. Search this blog to see if I've reviewed the product and for other helpful skincare posts.
I also highly suggest finding an afternoon or weekend or whenever to read through my previous skincare posts. Landing on a post like this when you're still a little in the dark about skin can be confusing. You can search by topic via my menu bar or search terms in the search box.

In her opening remarks at the SCBWI WWA Book to the Future Conference, Deborah Wiles shared with her listeners that story comes from three places: What you know, What you feel and What you can imagine.
Deborah, who is never without a notebook to record everything from grocery lists to the unfolding of daily life, encouraged the audience of rapt writers to Ask Questions and Be Curious. Ask questions and produce lists that will allow you to dig deeper into your own personal history. Deborah commented that this capture of the narrative of one's life should be the backbone of one's fiction.
Alont with photographic images from her past, Deborah flashed on the screen a list of Maslow's Five Basic Human Needs:
- To love and be loved
- To be safe
- To belong
- To do, have purpose/matter
- To understand
Finally, Deborah asked the question: If you could only tell one question, what would it be? She shared her own long and twisting path to publication, finishing with a description of her latest work, a totally cool fiction/documentary book about the 1960s.

Water in Agriculture
Both the rising global population and the effects of climate change will impact on the availability of drinking water.
The OECD estimates that globally, 70% of the freshwater withdrawn from natural resources is used in agriculture for food and fibre production. So at a time when we need to intensify agricultural production we need to do this with less water. We therefore need to harvest more food per drop of water. Water protection and water use efficiency must be an integral part of sustainable intensification.
Our activities in this area include:
- Developing stress and drought tolerant crops
- Developing technologies for weed management that allow conservation tillage and improve soil moisture
- Researching products that will increase the water efficiency of plants
- We also look to save water in our own facilities and contributed to the First Global Water Disclosure Report (2010)
Thirsty Foods
The Water Footprint Network has provided an estimate of the amount of water needed to produce some of our common foodstuffs:

Perceptions #life #art
Our perceptions of life and the world we live in depends on how hard we're finding it. When we're struggling we become focused on the task in hand, trying desperately to make life easier. There are many people on Easy Street, but far more people struggling in Britain today. (more…)
Spring flowers in May
The river in the picture is the River Tame. This photo was taken last May, but I drove past there yesterday and the flowers are just starting to bloom again. They seem to grow all along the Tame, I've seen them at Walsall and Dudley.

Hot springs at Lake Tarawera are a reminder of the area's volcanic history, writes Alex Robertson.
Today marks an important date for the Rotorua region: it's the 125th anniversary of the Tarawera eruption that, over a period of five hours, buried more than 100 people, several villages and the "eighth wonder of the world" - the Pink and White Terraces.
The terraces brought people from all over the world who travelled by sailing ship, coach and, finally, by row boat from Kotukutuku Bay on the western shores of Lake Tarawera to view the beautiful travertine deposits and bathe in the therapeutic hot springs that dotted the area.
All that remains of the terraces is to be found under metres of water at the bottom of Lake Rotomahana. But the many natural hot springs still to be found are one of the major attractions of Rotorua today.
Accessing Rotorua's thermal waters can be as easy as paying an entrance fee and lapping up nature's warmth under soft lighting and shelter from the elements. For the more adventurous there's the opportunity to leap - with much faith - into steaming lakes in the surrounding hills, although caution is recommended.
For the romantics who like to mix a little history and adventure in their restorative therapy, the boat ride across Lake Tarawera to Hot Water Beach at Te Rata Bay is a must.
If you have a boat, then negotiating the drive to the lake will be the most of your effort. There are many ramps accessed easily by road and plenty of parking for your car and trailer.
For the rest of us, the water taxi from the Landing Jetty is a convenient and affordable option.
The taxi is owned and operated by David Walmsley (who also runs the luxury Pounamu Lodge with his wife, Karen, which is situated on the hillside looking over the lake toward Mt Tarawera). His skilful handling of the 14-seater, all-weather boat is matched by his knowledge of the area as he delivers a short history and cultural lesson during the 20-minute journey, pointing out many sites of interest including the memorial at Moura Pt to the many lives lost during that fateful eruption.
Te Rata Bay, the first stop on the thermal springs tour, is a beautiful white sandy beach nestled under verdant bush in the shadow of the great mountain. You might find a few campers on the shore to welcome you: there's a Department of Conservation campsite just above the beach with basic facilities that, reportedly, get busy in summer. But as the beach is only accessible by boat, numbers are limited.
The anniversary will be marked with the opening of the first stage of the Tarawera Trail - a walking track that will eventually run around the lake perimeter, from the buried village to Te Rata Bay.
The lake temperature varies between 17-21C, depending on depth and time of year.
At the northern end of Te Rata Bay, a boiling-hot spring runs down from a small cliff across the beach and raises the immediate water to about 30C.
A small rock pool traps some of the warmer water, which is best accessed from the lake side to prevent burning, and hot water can be felt percolating up through the sand as you dig your feet in.
The day we visited was a day after rain and the lake sparkled blue at the foot of the red-topped, green-skirted mountain. To our left, a mist hovered just above the lake, clinging to the white cliff-face, where another thermal spring shot into the cold water.
David told us that it was possible to cook in the stream that bubbles out of the rock face, and we wished we'd brought eggs to boil - just for the novelty - instead of our sandwiches.
We were herded back on to the boat after a reasonable time but a couple of days spent camping, tramping and resting in the bath-pool could easily be in order.
Our guide sped the boat around a bluff and slowed so that a gentle ripple peeled from the hull across the mirror-like lake.
We nudged gently into a tree-fringed bay that didn't expose its beach until the last moment. A rock spire about 5m high sat below a sheer cliff to our left, that offered a thrilling opportunity for the death-defying among us to leap into the crystal-clear lake water.
David led us on a 30-second bush walk to a hidden pool bounded by reeds, ferns and trees. A dappled sun glinted on the surface and the gravelly bottom could be seen through the metre of water as a light mist of steam hung in the air.
Within seconds we were in the warm embrace of nature as we wallowed under her green canopy. This was a great spot to sip a glass of wine, David informed us, how we wished he'd told us when we'd booked the trip!
This is New Zealand at its purest and David, his whanau and local iwi make regular visits as guardians to clean up after other not-so-careful visitors.

Baiting Hollow, N.Y.
Tree-dotted dunes, open meadows and bluff-top views of Long Island Sound highlight play at this understated 2003 Bill Coore-Ben Crenshaw design. The fact that it's Phil Mickelson's favorite modern course is further enticement. Holes such as the par-5 14th that incorporate a dazzling combination of strategy and beauty call to mind an east coast version of Cypress Point.

Moving towards winter, I realize I am closer and closer to running out of time to hoard fresh, seasonal goodies. Although I have the harvest's great bounty at my finger tips, the CSA only offers so much in the way of sweet little things. Blackberries and strawberries were small, sweet and a bit pricey to try and stock up on. The cantaloupe was LITERALLY the best I had ever eaten in my life, but it sure doesn't keep very well. So I made small batches of strawberry and honey jam, a few jars of strawberry rhubarb jam ( I just mixed rhubarb compote into a small portion of strawberry jam) , and I even made a new favorite with some vanilla and husk cherries. Every year I find myself dabbling with the exotic, I make something unique that is great with cheese. This year was the Husk Cherry Preserves, last year was the Peppery Fig and Balsamic Jam. Although we consistently stock favorites like Thai Style Sweet Chili Sauce, you have to have something for toast and sammy's. Typically we would go strawberry picking and end up with eight to twelve jars of strawberry jam but this year I struggled with trying to decide whether or not I wanted to go "non-organic." We picked organic apples this year for the first time, but frankly I am still in shock I found those. Pick your own farms are few and far between here in the Pocono region, and organic pick your own farms are about as common as flying pigs and unicorns. So here I am realizing that although I have made so much progress this year in the way of eating sustainable, organic and local, I am still kind of stuck with conventional goods.
I have conspiracy theories when it comes to "organic food," I mean come on is it really any better? Most of our "organic" products are sold side-by-side with the same exact huge name brands that sell conventional goods. I have to admit that I am falling into the gullible-better-safe-than-sorry group of thought and at the end of the day, I can only afford so much. I realize more and more now days that my thoughts on real food are setting me apart from "normal people." I guess I sound crazy and post apocalyptic. I just don't like the idea of eating chemicals, antibiotics, hormones, preservatives and poisons. I can not accept that "it is what it is," and I guess it really has come to rule my thoughts. There is so much talk of "organic and natural" but here's the deal folks, just a few generations back people didn't have those terms because food was just food. It wasn't common for every single person to know at least one friend or foe with cancer, (BOTH of my step parents had cancer) it wasn't normal to be infertile or immobilized by disease and/or obesity. Realistically I can not set aside all conventional foods but, I can read labels, I can choose not to buy anything that has any dodgy ingredients. Above and beyond all theories and "science" I can do this: buy whole foods and process them myself. It is better than relying on labels to give me a false peace of mind. I guess I'm just insane. Whoops! No surprise there.
I could have gone with a bucket load of organic strawberries but one: that would have cost a fortune and two: those things don't taste like strawberries, no matter what time of year you buy them. (and why are they so darn big?!?) So I found these Black Seedless Table Grapes, they were side by side with "organic red and green grapes" but I opted for these beauties. They are sleek, dark and pack a punch of flavor unlike anything I've had before. Normal grape jelly is something of a cult classic, but I have honestly never liked the stuff. I do recall it from my childhood because it was cheap (perfect for the military family budget) and it came in cute little juice glasses. The old school grape jiggle is made with concord grapes, and those would work just wonderful but I have not seen them yet this year. This jam is a world apart from the old school jelly of my youth, it has body, it has flavor, it has personality I have found in no jar on any shelf… except maybe mine.
I have found that Smaller jars work best for jams. They always seem to set better in small jars. Do not try to double the recipe, it is a labor of love and if you try to double up your jam will not gel.
1. Remove 2 pounds of grapes from the stems. Give them a wicked good rinse.
2. Place into a blender, (with your pineapple or orange juice) and blend until smooth-as-can-be.
3. Place grape mixture into a pot with 2 to 3 cups of sugar, juice and a pinch of sea salt.
4. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Explanation: You want to cook your jam until it has set. Picture one shows what the jam will look like after about 10 minutes of cooking and stirring. Your jam will go from a frothy, foamy wet mixture to a thick syrup, to a heavy syrup that will coat your spoon. At this stage (picture two) you are ready to test your jam to see if it will gel. Place a small amount on a frozen spoon or plate, or simply place in a shot glass and refrigerate for a few minutes. If it seems to have solidified you are golden. If it is still quite wet you need five more minutes. I find 15-20 works just right for me.
6. Place hot jam into sterile jars. Wipe rims entirely clean, secure lids and rings into place and place into a stock pot, cover with water and bring it up to a boil. Process in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes. Carefully remove from the water bath and leave the jars un-bothered for 24 hours. Store as long as needed, the flavor is best if used within 6 months to a year.
Holy SUGAR Batman! What's the deal???!!! – The more sugar you use, the easier it will be to gel. I found that 3 cups is about right for a "normal" tasting preserve. Typical recipes call for 4 cups of sugar to 4 cups of smashed (high pectin) fruit. (such as raspberries) I don't want to try and re-invent the wheel, I want something my family will enjoy in moderation. (or not… Connor seemed to think eating it with a spoon was a great idea.) If you prefer less sweetener go for it! Grapes naturally contain a great deal of pectin however, you may need to simmer (and stir) longer than mentioned.
Seedless is big news when it comes to making jams, I hate seeds. I hate extra work. After all, I am making my own jam why double the work? Find black, dark grapes of any variety and if you can not find seedless: Refer to this step-by-step guide to Concord Grape Jam

A certain doctor in the United Kingdom, Mahesh Patwardhan, has been found guilty of molesting his patients. This gynaecologist had his patients strip when this was not needed for any medical purpose. This was done solely for his sexual gratification. He derived erotic glee from seeing a tattoo on a bottom. He conducted some unnecessary breast examinations. Dr Patwardhan was also previously convicted of fraud. He billed insurers for consultations and procedures that were never performed. It is staggering that a man who was already so wealthy would be foolish and greedy enough to jeopardise his whole career for sums such as GBP 195.
This man has been awarded 8 years imprisonment and struck of the medical register. He is 53 years of age. This doctor betrayed the public trust. The Hippocratic Oath states that physicians must not seduce their patients. He did not seduce them but the same principle was breached. He acted in a manner that was about satisfying his sexual desires and not to provide medical care. The reason for the prohibition on any romantic liaison with a patient is patients must not fear that a doctor might make a move on them. A patient would also believe that any instruction to disrobe could be for the titilation of the physician and not for any medical rationale.
This doctor has treated tens of thousands of people in a career spanning almost 30 years. He has done far, far more good than harm.
These women who were patients of this doctor feel ill-used. Their privacy has been invaded. He has seen them in a nude state when he did not need to. He touched them intimately when there was no reason for him to do so. They presumably feel humiliated and aggrieved. It is hard for me as a male to empathise with this sense of invasion. If a female doctor whom I found unattractive were to do this to me I would not mind much. Indeed if a homosexual doctor tricked me into undressing in order to give him a similar thrill again it would irk me only a little. Perhaps I underreact to this chap's unethical conduct.
How would I feel if this man had carried out similar indecent acts against my wife/girlfriend or sister? I would naturally sympathise with that woman. To some degree I would share her sense of injustice.
It is hard to see how this man can avoid spending some time in prison. 8 years is too long. He did not rape any of his patients. He will be released after about 4 years. He is not a danger to the public. Were he walking down the street at night no woman or man has any reason to fear him. This chap is not a public menace and that is what prison is for. There is no need to protect society from him.
His being struck off is more objectionable. He spent years studying. His education cost the state hundreds of thousands. He can do a huge amount of good. We can ill afford to squander his abilities, training and skill.here is
The public should be informed what this man has done. Then patients would be able to make up their own minds whether or not to see him. Patients could have the option of only being treated by him in the presence of a chaperone or chaperon. Perhaps he could be be barred from treating women. There is no reason to suspect he has any immoral intentions towards children. I would be perfectly content to see this doctor if I had fly, angina, piles or a whole host of medical conditions. Is there no possibility he can be forgiven? Some will say there can be no half-in medical status. No one questions his professional competence. It is his ethics that are found wanting. He should not have been struck off. He can yet heal the sick and pay his debt to society that way.

Dutch defender Martins Indi not fit for Chile
Recommended Video:
SAO PAULO (AP) -- Louis van Gaal will have to shuffle his defense and attack in the Netherlands' final World Cup Group B match against Chile after center back Bruno Martins Indi was ruled out with a concussion and Robin van Persie through suspension.
The good news for the Dutch is that the enforced changes come in a match between two teams already qualified for the round of 16.
Van Gaal said Sunday that Martins Indi has not yet recovered sufficiently from a concussion he suffered when he fell heavily after a late challenge by Tim Cahill as the Dutch beat Australia 3-2.
Martins Indi spent a night in a hospital after being stretchered off the pitch at the end of the first half in Porto Alegre on Wednesday.
The defender said he still doesn't know when he might be fit to play again.
During the Dutch training session at the Itaquerao Stadium, Martins Indi did no more than jog around the pitch with a trainer.
"I'm good. I'm taking small steps forward," he said. "The days are going well and I'm back on the field."
The Netherlands will also be missing van Persie, who is suspended after picking up two yellow cards in the tournament.
Van Gaal blamed a combination of bad refereeing and poor discipline for his captain's absence.
"The first yellow card against Spain, it was a stupid yellow card, but the second it was not a yellow card," he said. "So that's also a consequence of a referee."
Van Gaal declined to say who would replace Van Persie up front. Veteran forward Dirk Kuyt is an option as are Jeremain Lens and Klaas Jan Huntelaar.
Van Gaal said some other players are also not fully fit, but declined to name them.
With both teams having already qualified for the round of 16, Monday's match will decide which of them wins Group B.
Van Gaal said he expects a tricky match against an opponent he has long predicted would be the toughest team in the group.
"It's a team to watch," he said. "I think they have a fantastic coach who gets his players playing fanatically, extremely attacking, and extremely combative and they've been playing that way for more than six months."
The Dutch coach also criticized FIFA for scheduling Brazil's final Group A game later than the Netherlands-Chile match, meaning that Brazil will know which team has finished top of Group B and potentially be able to play for a result that would allow the host to avoid meeting either the Netherlands of Chile.
Brazil's first two group matches were played earlier than the Group B games. On Monday, the final two Group B matches are played at 1 p.m. local time and the final Group A matches at 5 p.m.
"It is not good of course. It is not fair play," Van Gaal said. "We are going to play for the win against Chile and that is ... not influenced by the fact that Brazil plays after us. I assume that they will also fulfil their sporting obligations. But it always leads to discussion if you do that so why do people do that?"
FIFA did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Van Gaal's criticism.

It's a steadily growing market of former suburbanites and city dwellers who are drawn to the country to pursue their dreams outside the city. Rural America consists of buyers who are already living the country life – and those who are considering it. These hobbyists see their pastime as a luxury, not a hardship, and are willing to spend more on their labor of love. Rural consumers enjoy a higher-than-average income - and they spend their extra cash on their homes, gardens, livestock and equipment. In fact, there have been 300,000 new farms since 2002 - reversing decades of decline (according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 2007 Census). Many of these new farmers focus on sustainability and self-reliance, and they are searching for information on the products and services they need.
For example:
The rural lifestyle market is growing - constituting an estimated 27 million rural property owners with $32 billion in annual spending power.
More than 36% of all farms are considered residential/lifestyle farms, with an additional 21% considered retirement farms.
Small farms are growing because of better technology and farming techniques, rising demand for organic and local produce, and more direct-to-consumer sales (i.e., farmers markets).
Ogden Publications reaches this growing and lucrative rural market. We take your brand directly in the living rooms, gardens, smartphones and backyards of rural America. Our rural consumers have average incomes of $80,651, typically own 22.5 acres of land, and are looking for such products and services as garden supplies, property maintenance, tillers, compact tractors and more. Our brands appeal to rural consumers who are interested in creating a sustainable homestead, farm, and lifestyle for themselves and their families - from farm to table, and everything in between.
With a combined audience of 8.6 million, our publications deliver affluent readers that live outside the city limits. Our rural portfolio includes Mother Earth News, Grit, Capper's Farmer, Farm Collector and Gas Engine Magazine. Each provides distinctive editorial content for all aspects of rural living, including farming, gardening, landscaping, livestock, collecting and more.
Deliver your message via our unique 360 Degree Marketing: a seamless mix of print, online, events, video and television, sweepstakes, and much more. We work with you to ensure that your marketing and sales objectives are met effectively and efficiently - and that you reach our unique rural audience.

The Hatmaker's Heart: A Novel
By Carla Stewart
For Nell Marchwold, bliss is seeing the transformation when someone gets a glimpse in the mirror while wearing one of her creations and feels beautiful. Nell has always strived to create hats that bring out a woman's best qualities. She knows she's fortunate to have landed a job as an apprentice designer at the prominent Oscar Fields Millinery in New York City. Yet when Nell's fresh designs begin to catch on, her boss holds her back from the limelight, claiming the stutter she's had since childhood reflects poorly on her and his salon. But it seems Nell's gift won't be hidden by Oscar's efforts. Soon an up-and-coming fashion designer is seeking her out as a partner of his 1922 collection. The publicity leads to an opportunity for Nell to make hats in London for a royal wedding. There, she sees her childhood friend, Quentin, and an unexpected spark kindles between them. But thanks to her success, Oscar is determined to keep her. As her heart tugs in two directions, Nell must decide what she is willing to sacrifice for her dream, and what her dream truly is.
Book Takeaway:
True success and contentment comes from doing that for which we are designed, and being strong in the face of adversity leads to honor.
Why the author wrote this book:
I've long been fascinated with the Jazz Age (Roaring Twenties) and British television and literature. I've recently became enamored with Downton Abbey, so pairing the two was my initial intent. I didn't want to focus on the usual political/social mores of the day (prohibition and the suffrage movement) but expand the story more into the world of fashion and women's roles in business at the time. Although the protagonist hails from noble British birth, WWI robs her family of their assumed position among the landed gentry when her father dies in service to his country. The family relocates to the US, allowing me to utilize both American and British settings. While I hope to capture fans of Downton Abbey with the book, my true desire is that women will understand where their true beauty lies and embrace their God-given uniqueness.

Let's get the monster business out of the way first. This world needs another monster movie like it needs another Michael Bay movie. And the monster in this movie is really no exception: it's some kind of snoozy huge alien spider thing, basically the kind of thing you'd only be into if you're just into monster movies. Abrams doesn't quite succeed in giving the beast some humanity, but he tries. I can't decide whether forced sympathy is better or worse than blind fear and hatred.
Big however, this movie is a lot of fun, and the monster business is really beside the point.1 This movie is about a bunch of awesome middle school kids living in a boring town in Ohio in 1979. Following them around and enjoying their antics is the principal pleasure of the movie. In one utterly relatable scene, the five boys sit around the one cool girl in a diner, all more or less trying to impress while genuinely having a grand time. Says one (the pyromaniac of the stable): "We need another order of fries because of my fat friend."
The adults in the story are not interesting, which is good because they generally seem to be disposable as monster food. Elle Fanning and newcomer Joel Courtney have some great moments, and their blossoming flirtations are surprisingly mature without getting all kissy. Abrams is probably one of the few directors who can write indie-movie characters into a mainstream flick.
Oh, and stay for the credits.
Although not as excisable as, say, the shitting scene in Bridesmaids. ↩

Perhaps you are contemplating a move to the Redoubt but have not visited yet. You may be wondering, "What's it really like out there?" Wouldn't it be great if a team like BBC Earth came in and filmed the Redoubt, so you could see it at its best before visiting? This movie accomplishes that.
A Random Find
I was walking through the local Costco not too long ago on my monthly shopping trip for supplies. I always take a look at the video rack to see what's new, even if I (frequently) don't select anything.
There I saw several racks of "Idaho: The Movie 2." I enjoy high-end programs showcasing wilderness, like the work of the BBC Earth team on series such as "Planet Earth" and "Blue Planet" so I wondered what this title had to offer. I'd never heard of the production team, Wide Eye Productions. Fortunately, the store had a TV set up and was running the feature for customers to see. The quality looked good, so I grabbed a copy.
A Pleasant Surprise
I have to say I was blown away from the very opening. I already live in the Redoubt, and this movie had me saying, "I want to move there right now!" Since I'm already here, the movie instead helped me create a new list of vacation spots and destinations for family outings. All of the locations mentioned are within reach as either a day trip or a weekend getaway. I can only wish there were sister discs for Montana and Wyoming as well.
But is this what the Redoubt is really like?
The Redoubt has a lot to offer anyone, whether you're looking to get completely out of city life and try something rural, or you still want some city life but in a smaller and safer town. The towns can be of sufficient size to provide most city-life desires like activities for the kids or for the adults. There's also plenty of frontier for those who really want to dive into building a self-sufficient homestead or just want to get away from it all.
I chose the frontier and the full survival and preparedness experience, and I'd have to say that what this movie showcases is not too different from my own backyard. Of course, they didn't film in my backyard. But the sorts of things they show, I could experience either with a short drive to the named destination, or by putting on my hiking boots and backpack and walking out my door into the unnamed wilderness.
It's important to note that at the opening of the movie, the writer and narrator explains that even though he's lived in Idaho all his life and enjoyed the wilderness, they found so many spots in their first movie which he'd never known about, that they decided to do a second movie and found even more wilderness and outdoor destinations he'd never known about. It makes me very curious to obtain the first movie and see more amazing wilderness spots that not even a lifelong local knew about.
If you ever meet someone from New Jersey, a joke in that state is the question, "What interstate exit are you from?" Try it. They'll probably chuckle and then name the exit. Where I live now, the question is which river valley you're from. Each small valley has its unique character, and you could explore for a lifetime and still not see it all.
Places to See
The film works through 19 featured locations, but in the course of narration and filming this is perhaps only a third of all sites mentioned and accompanied with stunning footage. Below I'll simply show captures of each featured area, and conclude with some interesting details. The series of capture from the film does well to illustrate the wide variety of land out here, too.
Slick Rock lets you climb a significant mountain rock face without going to the more famous (and more crowded) tourist attraction parks. Magruder Corridor is miles of long mountain road, all unpaved, stretching between two wilderness expanses; great for off-roading. Bear Lake is nicknamed "The Caribbean of the Rockies." Chesterfield is a ghost town which suffered economic collapse due to a railway bypass, but is maintained as a time capsule today. Minnetonka Cave has nine chambers to hike through, and satisfies the cave fix without needing to go to another state. Burgdorf Hot Springs is under snow half the year and can only be reached by snowmobile during that time. The Hiawatha Trail is 15 miles of old railroad bed converted to a bike trail, crossing seven trestle bridges and passing through nine rail tunnels, the longest of which is 1.5 miles.
Who Should See This Movie?
Overall, buy this movie and watch it if you fall into one of the following, :
- You wonder what the lands of the Redoubt are like, but haven't visited yet.
- You have a friend you are trying to interest in joining you in the Redoubt.
- You live in the Redoubt and are looking for some fun places to spend your leisure time.
- You love high quality documentaries of nature's great places.
In addition to the stunning visuals, the music and narration is top notch. I've watched it several times while sharing it with others and while looking closely for this review, and still experience a "wow" factor.

This week Terra Informa speaks with 350.org about the Occupy Wall Street movement in New York City. This movement began on September 17th, and is currently spreading across the nation as cities in Canada and the rest of the world chime in to speak up against "economic inequality and corporate influence".
We also bring you a green screen review of Wiebo's War, which is a documentary currently showing in cinemas across the country. This movie tells the story of Weibo Ludwig and his family who own property on top of one of the largest undeveloped natural gas fields in North America. The family has struggled against the gas industry over the past two decades to defend their home.
Occupy Wall Street began with a simple call to action issued by Adbusters, a Vancouver-based magazine, which stated "On September 17, flood into lower Manhattan, set up tents, kitchens, peaceful barricades and Occupy Wall Street". This movement is described as being a "people powered movement for democracy". Since its inception, the movement has grown from hundreds to thousands of people camped out in New York City's Zuccotti Park. On October 15th, cities across the nation will join in with their own 'occupy movements'. Environmental organizers are among the many who have joined the movement. Terra Informa correspondent Kathryn Lennon spoke with Phil Aroneanu, co-founder of 350.org and author of an article titled "Why Environmentalists Should Occupy Wall Street".
If your in Edmonton, Bill McKibben of 350.org will be speaking at the University of Alberta on Friday, October 21st, as part of Sustainability Awareness Week.

The first in our series of 5 new beers to be launched has sold out.
We sold 60 litres of Raspberry Sour at The Beer Hall in just 7 hours from its first pouring at 6pm on Friday 28th August.
One drinker described it on Twitter as "the perfect post Striding Edge tonic" and another as simply "yummy tasty".
The next new rare beer launch is at 6pm on Friday 4th September.
26 August 2015
We're launching 5 brand new rare keg beers, one a week over the next 5 weeks, starting this Friday, the 28th August, with Raspberry Sour.
Some of these beers have been brewed with ingredients rarely seen before in a beer. They are innovative, rare, one-offs, only on draught, and we've filled so few kegs that they are not on general sale. So to sample them you will have to get to The Beer Hall on launch days, as there will only be one 30 litre keg.
The weekly new beer will be announced on the Wednesday prior to the launch. Check our website and social media feeds for details.
The first new beer to be showcased, Raspberry Barrel Aged Sour, is a 3.3% Berliner Weisse-style beer with whole fresh raspberries, aged in oak wine casks that have previously held Red Burgundy (Pinot Noir grapes).
Each beer comes from the fevered brain of our Head Brewer Matt who has been experimenting with techniques and ingredients.
New beer launches are at 6pm at The Beer Hall on the following dates;
25 August 2015
Bitter, Lakeland Gold and Cumbrian Five Hop are CAMRA 'Beers of the Year' as listed in the new 2016 Good Beer Guide, just published.
Over the course of the year the beers go through several rounds of judging and were found by CAMRA judges to be consistently outstanding in their categories. All three beers were shortlisted for the Champion Beer of Britain (CBOB) competition held at the Great British Beer Festival (GBBF) in August.
"'Beers of the Year' appear in every year's Good Beer Guide and it's rare to see a brewery with three beers listed. We're delighted to have been triple finalists at The Champion Beer of Britain." commented Sales Manager Anne.
While at GBBF Anne met Michael Hardman, one of the original gang of four lads from Warrington who started CAMRA and said "we both got a bit glassy-eyed to see how far it has come."
19 August 2015
Jester, our Great British session beer that we first brewed in the spring, is back. It was very well received first time around… so we just had to brew it again.
It's our salute to Great British ingredients – brewed with English Maris Otter barley and hopped with Jester and another of our favourite British hops, Bramling Cross.
Jester is a new British hop variety grown as part of hop merchants Charles Faram's breeding programme, it's touted as the closest to powerful American aroma hops ever grown in Britain.
Available in cask, Jester is refreshing and hoppy, with complex fruit aromas and flavours. The pale malt base and low strength (3.7% abv) showcases the flavour of the hops perfectly.

This weekend we are heading out to Palm Springs to bring some gifts to G and Miray that couldn't fit in their car from the baby shower and to help put the nursery together. I love that they live so close but just far enough so that visiting them is always like a mini vacation. It also helps that their house is like a little resort. We cannot wait for the arrival of these little munchkins and the next time we go to visit they will be here! It is crazy to think back four years to when I first met Miray. So much has changed, and now to think that they will be parents in seven weeks or less is just crazy! I am an only child so being a part of Tony's big family has definitely had it's growing pains for me. Gaining sister-in-laws is great but I never imagined I would have such a close relationship with Miray. It is such a cool blessing.
Yesterday I threw on this peasant top that I had honestly kind of forgotten about with the hustle and bustle of the past week. It is awesome!! I ran some errands and cooked dinner in it and I did not once think about changing out of it. It is flowy in all the right places and the lace detail is perfect! Pairing it with my favorite taupe booties and skinny jeans definitely helped the comfort level. It also comes in black if you tend to be messy, but this color is versatile enough for spring, summer and fall.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!!

Architecture student Viktor Ramos has a brilliant idea that may be the key to the Israel-Palestinian Gordian Knot: Instead of building grim walls or tunnels, create livable bridges so two states can live together, superposed.
Can architecture make Israel and Palestine coexist peacefully together? Sounds like a pie in the sky proposition—no pun intended—but given the resources, it may be the only way to have the two countries living together, on top and below each other.
Viktor's concept is simple, but absolute genius: Bridge the Israel and Palestinian territories with large structures that can sustain life, house people, and allow for the free transit of people, animals, and merchandise. Both countries will have bridges over each other's ground, so nobody is isolated and there's no need for populations to get through the other territories.
Obviously, this is a huge project, but if structurally possible—which looking at the current state of engineering, looks it is—it brings a new way to look at the geography of the two countries, eliminating many of the demands and catering to the needs of the population of both states. It doesn't solve other issues, but at least they solve a big part of them. [Bldgblog]

Evaluation of educational needs in patients with diabetes mellitus in respect of medication use in Austria
Lemmens-Gruber, Rosa and Hahnenkamp, Christine and Gossmann, Ulrike and Harreiter, Jurgen and Kamyar, Majid-Reza and Johnson, Julienne and Hudson, Steve and Kautzky-Willer, Alexandra (2012) Evaluation of educational needs in patients with diabetes mellitus in respect of medication use in Austria. International Journal of Clinical Pharmacy, 34 (3). pp. 490-500. ISSN 2210-7711Full text not available in this repository.Request a copy from the Strathclyde author
Effective control of diabetes mellitus type 1 (DM1) and type 2 (DM2) can reduce the development and progression of diabetic complications. Therefore, patient education should be considered as an integral part of diabetes management. Objective The aim of the study was to assess DM patients' perception of knowledge for their medication and attitude towards self management and pharmacist's role. Setting The study was conducted at the diabetes out-patient clinic at the Vienna General Hospital (AKH), Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Department of Internal Medicine III, Austria. The study was a cross sectional survey using patient data from a validated patient questionnaire and medical records. Medical records were evaluated by applying a medication assessment tool. Main outcome measure To assess the quality of diabetes self management the following outcome measures are considered: HbA1c levels, pre- and post-prandial blood glucose levels, prevention of acute episodes of hypo- and hyperglycaemia, reduction of macrovascular risk factors, short term quality of life, adverse effects and treatment tolerance. Results The present study comprised 225 patients with DM1 and 201 patients with DM2, respectively. In comparison to DM2 patients, cardio- and cerebrovascular diseases were diagnosed very rarely in patients with DM1. The risk for these diseases was higher in patients with other factors of the metabolic syndrome, in addition. Overall, 118 of these patients participated in the questionnaire. The level of positive response on diabetes self-care and knowledge with respect to medication for the prevention of diabetes complications, glycaemic control, and treatment goals in diabetes was 81.8 %. The comparison of patients' perceptions of diabetes self-care and knowledge showed differences among subgroups. Higher perceived knowledge and selfcare apparently was associated with DM1. Additional findings of this study indicate that patients do not expect community pharmacists to be integrated in a multidisciplinary diabetes care team. Although the level of positive response was found to be high there is still a minority of patients whose level of comprehension appears to be insufficient. Intense pharmaceutical care including patients' education within a multidisciplinary team could contribute to improvements in those patients.

The little black dress is a cocktail dress designed by Coco Chanel almost one hundred years ago yet it still is a staple piece of any woman's wardrobe. The dress was designed with Chanel's intention of having a dress that would be a classic style which would remain stylish for years to come. Her design is almost a century old but it still is what the original intention was: a classic all around chic dress.
The best feature of the little black dress is that the black color is an all around flattering color for any body type. This makes it a popular choice among plus size women because the color makes their bodies' look much more slim and it is very flattering. Like all dresses that you buy, the dress should be flattering and accentuate positive figure points in the body and minimize the negatives. A black dress will be positive no matter on what body it is on.
There are different sub-styles for the little black dress. Some are lace, sleeved, sleeveless, halter top, etc. You can wear the little black dress to a variety of occasions and settings. Depending on the accessories worn, you can dress up or dress down the outfit to match exactly what you want when you are going out to a party for dinner for example. If you want to dress up an outfit with the little black dress it is best to wear smaller, silver pieces of jewelry and keep the overall accessories to a minimum. Having minimum amounts of accessories and subtle designs will bring the attention to the face and the dress itself.
