I'm going to say something that may shock a lot of beauty bloggers/readers; I'm not keen.
Hydraluron is said to "over time, increases skin's hydration level and minimises the need for frequent topical moisturising. This increase in moisture levels has been shown to increase skin elasticity and reduce surface roughness" Which I'm sure it does, It's just not very noticeable. I've been using this stuff for over 2 months now, and while I feel it probably is doing something good for me, I can't see it.
I suffer from very-very dry/flaky skin around and on my nose, and the rest of my face is normal to dry, so this seems like the perfect product for me. However, I find that when I use it, it makes my face feel stiff and almost dry-er. I read somewhere that applying it while your face is still slightly damp helps, which it does, but I feel I am diluting the product when I do that. at almost £25 quid a pop, I shouldn't have to faff about with pre-wetting my face to apply it. My skin condition around my nose has improved, but it only started to do so when I began using Garnier Moisture Match and St Ives Apricot Gentle Scrub every day.
In it's defence I think the packaging is fancy and a little goes a long way. I've been using it for over 2 months almost every day, and I'd say I still have a months worth of product left. If it last me a full 3 months, thats about £8.33 a month, which considering the price of products these days, isn't too outrageous.
All this being said, I can find very few bad reviews, so I think it's a very personal thing. My skin seem to be quite fussy, so what doesn't work for me, may turn out to be your holy grail.

Even though we went to Pismo Beach over Napa Valley, I was still determined to find a California vineyard. Much like Napa Valley, Edna Valley vineyards outside Pismo Beach, grows their vineyard in volcanic soil. Edna Valley Vineyard faces Islay Hill, one of the dormant volcanoes, with the other volcanoes located just beyond.
My favorite part of the Edna Valley Vineyard winery was the views of Islay Hill through the tasting room window.
The vines were just budding and I can just imagine how gorgeous they will be in full bloom.
We also stopped by Starbucks in San Luis Obispo for a road trip treat and discovered their new, delicious cake balls. We tried the birthday cake and the coffee one. I'm not a huge fan of birthday cake in general, and usually love coffee, but in this case I definitely loved the birthday cake balls the best. Yum!
Granted, much as I love it, I am allergic to wine except for Pinot Noir and ended up falling asleep that night at six with a headache and sleeping til' the next morning at eight with only a short break for a delicious dinner at In N Out at eleven. Though seeing Pismo Beach's gorgeous wine country was totally worth it

It had been some years since Dirk and I had spoken, but I remember him as a very helpful member of Caledon in my early years there.
It was with a sad nostalgia that I saw the blog posts about his passing. I was even more impressed at some of the more widely recognised names who attended Dirk's memorial this past weekend.
I was glad to hear the anecdotes from people who knew him far better than I, and happy that his typist was with family at the end.
Valé Dirk.

MURRIETA — Calvary Murrieta's star softball pitcher, senior Chelsie Keller, was feeling sick Tuesday morning. So was her batterymate, freshman catcher Sarah McWaters.
At about 10:30 a.m. they delivered the bad news to Warriors Coach Celeste Ducharme.
"I said, 'Don't go home, let's see how you do in warm-ups,'" Ducharme said. "It was one inning at a time."
Six innings was all it took for the home team in the CIF Southern Section Division 5 wild-card playoff game.
Keller threw a no-hitter as the Warriors routed Estancia, 15-0, ending the Eagles' season.
"I was feeling pretty confident," said Keller, who will play softball and perform as a cheerleader next year at Hope International University. "When you're sick or when you're super-tired, you tend to focus harder."

It is that time of year again to start thinking about protecting your property and family. The following article from Jill Auerbach is a very good start to a nice memorable summer.
Dear Friends and Associates,
Please consider sharing this with others. Bad enough getting Lyme or Tickborne disease once, but you can be re infected. This is why it is critically important to avoid, and protect yourselves, your family, pets and wildlife as well. It's unfortunate that more than 30 years have passed and this is all we have; protect and prevent!
I haven't seen this before nor tried it, but it seems a simple and inexpensive way to reduce the tick population by killing ticks on their prime reservoir the mouse, who would use the impregnated cotton balls to build their nest. Some studies have shown commercially produced tubes like this called Damminex to be highly effective. Other tests, not as effective. Perhaps the natural nesting materials available to the mice make a difference? The CDC currently has a study with Damminex. Here is a link to information about the commercially available ones: http://www.ticktubes.com/works.html
2. I strongly recommend you take a look at Tom Mather, PhD, University of RI, Tick Encounter information on prevention and other topics: http://www.tickencounter.org/
Dr Mather shares a wealth of information that has been tested! Many claims are made about some products that simply do not hold up to testing and research done by him and others.
This is about one of the best and most clearly explained sites available to us.
It includes:
- How to make your clothes tick repellent.
- Treat your yard with a perimeter spray.
- How to remove a tick, etc.

We feed our hens non-GMO, local, raw whole grains, spent brewers' grain from local, organic beer, and fresh vegetables and seeds grown on the farm. We believe eggs taste better when laid by hens who live happy lives, with plenty of sun, quality food and forage, and room to spread their wings. Give our eggs a try this season and we know you'll agree! Flowers and heirloom vegetables will also be available to add-on to your weekly order.
What happens next
When we receive notice of your CSA reservation, we will email you to:
The shorter the chain between raw food and fork, the fresher it is and the more transparent the system is." ―Joel Salatin

By JOY CRIST
With winter comes a newfound island-wide movement towards the safety and comfort of the couch.
It's the perfect time to slow down, enjoy an unhurried pace and curl up with a good book.
For those not up on the latest good reads, just turn on the radio.
A global community read is happening now with participants joining in from all across the country and even the world, and the initiative's roots started right here on Hatteras Island.
The Blue Mind worldwide community read is an opportunity for local island fans to discover a new book that perfectly connects with the island lifestyle. Readers also can join in the conversation through Q&As with the author, and connect with a network of fellow book-lovers – all without venturing into the winter weather.
GeeGee Rosell, owner of the iconic Buxton Village Books, started the project as a way to promote the local Radio Hatteras – a FEMA-funded station that has proven essential during hurricanes, and which provides important information on all the happenings around the island.
"I wanted to be able to support the radio station in a broader way than just sending money," says GeeGee. "…I wanted to get the word out. So I started a community read called Hatteras Island Reads."
The virtual book club works a lot like a physical book club, but with the added bonuses for folks who want to join, but either aren't on the island, or who don't want to venture outside.
Every week, a new chapter or portion of the book is broadcast on Radio Hatteras, and the author answers questions, add notes and annotations, and gives a personal perspective to the story as it unfolds.
Previous books in the Hatteras Island Reads arsenal include In the "Heart of the Sea" by Nathaniel Philbrick, "Isaac's Storm" by Erik Larson, and "The Kinnakeeter" by Charles T. Williams II, which came out as a second edition this past April.
"The way I chose books was to select non-fiction – true stories – about the ocean, shipwrecks, storms: something that would evoke life at the beach, and life on the island, with an author who would participate with us."
GeeGee reaches out to the author for every community read, and for every book chosen so far, the author has been an intricate part of the book club.
"I pick up the phone and call the author, and say 'Hi there, I've sold your book for years, and we'd like to do a community read on our local FEMA-funded radio station…' and every author has been happy to join in," says GeeGee. "People can send in questions, and then I pass the questions along to the author, and then I record an interview with the author that is played on the radio station."
The community read has had as many as 300 participants which includes both locals, and folks who simply have ties to the beach, and especially to Hatteras Island. "That's the idea of community reading, because the 'community' can be all of the people who vacation here. It gives them a sense of ownership of Hatteras Island as their vacation home," says GeeGee.
GeeGee also donates books that are being read to the school and to the Hatteras Island library so folks don't have to own a copy to participate. For those who do want their own book for following along, the current book club selections are sold at a discount at her store.
It's been a great success for both readers and Radio Hatteras, with up to 300 participants at one time, but this new installment is proving to meet and exceed expectations.
Meet "Blue Mind" – (Formally known as "Blue Mind. The Surprising Science That Shows How Being Near, In, On, or Under Water Can Make You Happier, Healthier, More Connected, and Better at What You Do") – and its author, Wallace J. Nichols.
To put it mildly, Nichols known his stuff.
"Dr. Wallace J. Nichols," his bio reads, "called 'Keeper of the Sea' by GQ Magazine and 'a visionary' by Outside Magazine, is an innovative, silo-busting, entrepreneurial scientist, movement maker, renown marine biologist, voracious Earth and idea explorer, wild water advocate, bestselling author, sought after lecturer, and fun-loving Dad. He also likes turtles (a lot.)"
Nichols has authored more than 200 publications including scientific papers, technical reports, and book contributions, and has appeared in hundreds of print, film, radio, and television media outlets including NPR, BBC, PBS, CNN, MSNBC, National Geographic, Animal Planet, Time, Newsweek, GQ, Outside Magazine, Elle, Vogue, Surfer Magazine, Scientific American, and New Scientist, just to name a few.
His book "Blue Mind," published in 2014, became a national bestseller and has been translated to numerous languages around the world.
And now, he's chatting with island residents and fans of Hatteras Island Reads. And it all started with an email from GeeGee.
"For this one, I walked past Nichols book "Blue Mind". and it just kind of jumped out at me," she says. "I love that book. I've been selling it [as a] hardcover since 2014, and I've sold hundreds of copies."
After that initial epiphany, GeeGee sent an email to Nichols who in turn responded within an hour and a half, and said he would be happy to do it. "Then he called me and said 'Let's think big, let's make this worldwide!' I have to give much credit to 'J' for reaching out to his contacts and bringing them onboard. It's really turned into a movement of sorts."
The book begins with the Outer Banks – it starts with Jennette's Pier – and it outlines how people are connected to the water.
"It takes the science of the neurological response of a human to water, and makes it accessible… You don't even have to understand what the word 'neuroscience' means," says GeeGee. "At any given page you'll say 'oh, I knew that!' because you know that your blood pressure goes down, your heart rate goes down, and the answers you were mulling over for a life-changing situation become more available to you when you walk on the beach, or put your kayak in the water and go for a paddle…"
"Everything about life makes more sense when we're next to the water," she adds, "and this book explains to us why, without weighing us down with technology and science… The notes at the back are maybe 15 pages long regarding source materials, so it's very scientifically based, but the book itself explains it in layperson language."
The read is already underway, although new participants are welcome to join in. "Each read generally lasts several months to give folks time to read at their leisure, and formulate questions, and email them to the bookstore."
There's also ample options to join in and connect.
Readers with questions for the author can email them to Buxton Village Books, or can log onto Facebook to post their queries or join in the live Q&As which are held nightly at 9 p.m.
For those who want to "read along," or want to make a drive more pleasant and engaging, they can tune into Radio Hatteras (101.5 and 99.9) at 7 p.m. Monday through Friday, when chapters of the book are read aloud.
Best of all, people who want to listen in don't have to drive back and forth on NC Highway 12 to catch a whole chapter, or dig out their battery-operated storm radios. The shows also s live on www.radiohatteras.org , and listeners can also download the app to their mobile device.
Questions are always welcome – regardless of the chapter or the content. "Any sort of interaction is great, and the [chapter] doesn't matter," says GeeGee. "It's all about connections, because connecting people to water is the whole point of the book."
To date, the 2017 Worldwide Blue Mind Online Book Club has 500 participants – which includes folks from all across the county, as well as participants from Finland, Scotland, and even Palau. "We're heavily into week number 2 of a 10-week read, and more folks are finding out about it and joining us all the time," says GeeGee. "We're hoping to be up to 1,000 by the time we're finished."
A March 25 Event Finale & Fundraiser also is planned right where the initiative started – on Hatteras Island – with event details to follow soon.
In the meantime, the event is accomplishing the original goal by getting the word out about Radio Hatteras to an extended population that's miles away from our island home.
"'J' mentions Radio Hatteras on just about every Facebook broadcast, and that's the whole point –– to benefit Radio Hatteras and get more folks aware of Radio Hatteras," she says. "It's just a collateral benefit that folks might feel better about the way they interact with the planet. So everybody wins."
Chapters from the book are being broadcast on Radio Hatteras (101.5 and 99.9) at 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. Radio Hatteras can be streamed, everywhere, at www.radiohatteras.org. Folks also can download the app to listen in on a mobile device.
Facebook Live is available nightly at 9 p.m., featuring questions from readers and guest protagonists from the book. All evenings are archived, and visitors can easily catch up at any time. Check out the Blue Mind Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/bluemindlife/?hc_ref=PAGES_TIMELINE and use the #bluemind hashtag to follow the conversation on social media.
Questions for the author can be submitted via Facebook through the Blue Mind page or through Buxton Village Books at [email protected] or https://www.facebook.com/Buxton-Village-Books-Inc-106803089848/?fref=ts
Books are available for purchase at Buxton Village Books or can be borrowed from Hatteras Library. All Proceeds benefit Radio Hatteras and Blue Mind Life.

What steps should facility owners or operators take to reduce the hazards of AN during storage and handling?
Storage/Process Conditions to Avoid
Persons engaged in the handling, management or emergency planning for AN must be aware of the hazards of AN and ensure that the conditions that may lead to an explosion are not present. Measures that facilities should take to ensure the safe storage, use and handling of AN include:
- Avoid heating AN in a confined space.
- Processes involving AN should be designed to avoid this possibility.
- Avoid localized heating of AN, potentially leading to development of high temperature areas (e.g., AN fertilizer should not be stored near sources of heat such as steam pipes, radiators, hot ducts, light bulbs etc.).
- Ensure that AN is not exposed to strong shock waves from explosives. AN storage near high explosives or blasting agents must conform to ATF's Table of Separation Distances, Title 22 of the Code of Federal Regulations, section 555.220 (22 CFR 555.220).
- Avoid contamination of AN with combustible materials or organic substances such as packing materials, dust, seed, oils, and waxes.
- If possible, do not co-locate AN, especially bulk AN in bins, with dust-producing organics such as grains or seeds.
- Avoid contamination of AN with inorganic materials that may contribute to its sensitivity to explosion, including chlorides and some metals, such as aluminum powder, chromium, copper, cobalt, and nickel.
- Pay attention to the materials used to build storage areas and cribs. Wood and aluminum or other metals must be specially treated to prevent impregnation if they are going to be in contact with AN. Metal materials can be treated with epoxy tar or chlorinated rubbers to prevent corrosion of the metal and contamination of the AN.
- Maintain the pH of AN solutions within the safe operating range of the process. In particular, avoid low pH (acidic) conditions.
- If possible, do not co-locate acids in an AN storage area.
- Keep molten or solid AN out of confined spaces, especially sewers or drains where it can react with organic materials there.
OSHA's standard for Explosives and Blasting Agents at 29 CFR 1910.109(i) contains requirements for AN stored in the form of crystals, flakes, grains or prills including fertilizer grade, dynamite grade, nitrous oxide grade, technical grade, and other mixtures containing 60 percent or more of AN by weight. AN should also be handled in accordance with safe practices found in NFPA 400 Hazardous Materials Code, Chapter 11.
Building Design
- Store only in one-story buildings and buildings with no basements, unless the basement is open on one side.
- Use fire resistant walls within 50 feet of combustible building or materials.
- Flooring in storage and handling areas should be constructed of noncombustible material or protected from impregnation by AN.
- Avoid installing, or remove or close off any open drains, traps, tunnels, pits or pockets into which molten AN can flow and be confined in the event of fire.
- Buildings should be kept dry and free of water seepage through roofs, walls and floors.
- Have adequate ventilation or be constructed to self-ventilate in the event of a fire to avoid pressurization.
- Do not place AN into storage when the temperature of the product exceeds 130°F (54.4°C).
- Piles of bags, drums and other containers should be no closer than 36 inches below the roof or supporting beams.
- Bags should be stored no less than 30 inches from walls or partitions.
- Piles of bags, drums, and other containers should not exceed a height of 20 feet, width of 20 feet, and length of 50 feet, unless the building is of noncombustible construction or protected by automatic sprinklers.
- Maintain aisles of at least 3 feet width between piles.
Bins for storing bulk AN should be kept clean and free of materials, which could contaminate the material. Bins should not be constructed of galvanized iron, copper, lead or zinc unless suitably protected. Aluminum or wooden bins should be protected against impregnation by AN.
- Piles or bins must be adequately sized, arranged and moved periodically to minimize caking. Height or depth of piles shall be limited by pressure-setting tendency of the product, but in no case should pile be higher than 36 inches below roof or supporting beams.
- Do NOT use dynamite, explosives or blasting agents to break up or loosen caked AN.
- Protect piles of AN from absorbing moisture from humid air by covering them with water-impermeable sheeting or using air conditioning.
- Do not store AN with organic chemicals, acids, or other corrosive materials, materials that may require blasting during processing or handling, compressed flammable gases, flammable and combustible materials or other contaminating substances. AN stores should be separated from incompatible substances by using separate buildings or 1 – hour fire resistant walls, or a minimum separation distance of 30 feet.
- AN storage areas should be equipped with an automatic sprinkler system, or have an automatic fire detection and alarm system if the areas are not continuously occupied. This is especially important when the facility in question is close to the public surrounding the facility.
- Facilities should NOT store more than 2500 tons of bagged AN without an automatic sprinkler system.
- An automatic sprinkler system, if installed, should be provided in accordance with NFPA 13, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems.
- Suitable fire control devices such as hoses and appropriate portable fire extinguishers (AN is an oxidizer and not all fire extinguishers are appropriate) shall be provided throughout the warehouse and loading areas. Water supplies and fire hydrants should be available.
- Store AN fertilizer in separate buildings or separated by approved fire walls from organic, combustible or reactive materials, such as grains, wood or other organic materials, urea and urea compounds, flammable liquids or gases, corrosive acids, chlorates, chromates nitrites, permanganates or finely divided metals or sulfur.
We recommend that AN be stored in purpose-built facilities/buildings of non-combustible construction. Dust-producing organic materials, such as grain, seeds and sugar, should not be stored near AN. Some metal powders such as aluminum powder are equally dangerous. AN should be stored so as to ensure it is not contaminated by gasoline, diesel or other fuels, and is not subject to high heat (even in one small area of a large stockpile) or water infiltration.

Belgian designer Kris Van Assche took over the creative direction of the brand with the spring-summer 2008 collection. Transitioning from the rock 'n' roll aesthetic of Slimane, Van Assche's idea for the Dior man revolves around classic tailoring with touches of modernity. One key of the Dior man is a bee logo, which adorns polo shirts, dresses necklaces, and more.

July 1959. Films depicting John Wayne and Rock Hudson in the Wild West were all the rage in the movie theater. The real star, however, was the West Texas landscape. As towns like San Angelo grew in size, Father Ammian E. Lutomski knew the diocese must respond to the growing pastoral needs. He purchased four acres of land near Goodfellow Air Force Base, built a four room house, and began to hold religion classes for the neighborhood children.
One cold Saturday morning, Father James A. Ostrander and Father Bernard Gully of Sacred Heart Cathedral came to check on the progress of the religion classes, only to find the buildings empty. Since there was no heat in the buildings, the classes had been moved into the homes of the people. On that morning, Father Ostrander began to plan for a new catechetical center. After determining that many of the people in the neighborhood had no transportation, and often found it difficult to get to the Cathedral downtown for Mass, Father Ostrander was determined to provide a chapel as well.
Saint Margaret's Church was blessed by Bishop Thomas J. Drury on May 23, 1965 as a mission church of Sacred Heart. The name "Saint Margaret of Scotland" was chosen by donors and happily approved by the Bishop.
At first, Saint Margaret's Parish was served by the priests stationed at Sacred Heart. Then on September 17, 1968, Reverend Leo Diersing was assigned pastoral duties. The church was declared an official parish on November 16th, 1981 by Bishop Joseph A. Fiorenza. Msgr. Larry J. Droll became its first pastor.
Many exceptional priests and deacons have served Saint Margaret's Church over the years, including Rev. Leo Diersing, Rev. Thomas H. Seibt, Rev. Russell Schultz, Rev. Gilbert Rodriguez, Father (later Msgr.) Larry Droll, Father Fabian M. Rosette, Rev. Louis J. Droll, Father James Chaumont, Rev. Joseph Vathalloor (sacramental minister),Rev. Joseph Choutapalli and Rev Chinnapureddy Pagidela.
Deacons who have served at St. Margaret's Parish include Daniel Peña, Fred Green, Gerardo Treviño, Raymond Smith (pastoral coordinator 1997-2003), and Andy Gonzalez.
Currently, the Very Rev. Santiago Udayar is the pastor of Saint Margaret of Scotland Church.

In case you are the last one to know this, boss is the latest word to denote power. It could also just mean something that is awesome. You'll hear phrases like "That's boss" and "Dude, she's boss!" If you look at Amazon book titles, you'll see things like How to be a Bawse, GirlBoss, and Boss Bitch . (Not to mention all the erotic fiction titles with boss in the title – I mean, is it its own genre now?)
We all want to be boss in the street lingo sense but also in the more traditional sense. That may be the reason you decided to become a real estate agent, independent salesperson, or consultant. You wanted to be your own boss. When you think of a powerful female boss, maybe you think of someone that runs a hedge fund. You may think of someone in a perfectly tailored outfit, with perfect hair, and every nail glossy and without a chip. And of course, she has on a pair of sky-high stiletto heels. So now, you may be thinking, "I can't be a boss! My podiatrist won't let me. My feet won't last one hour in those heels."
Well, there is a way to get a little bit of that boss look without the foot pain of a true boss. You don't run a hedge fund, but you can use the wedge fund secret to create boss looks, and of course, I mean that you need to get onboard with how to wear wedges to work. You may be thinking, "Yeah, those are cute. I wear them to the beach all the time. I can't look like a boss if I am dressed like a beach party is going to break out any minute." The wedges that you are used to may be wedge sandals, but there are many wedge styles that appropriate for the office and can have you looking like you are the boss. The trick is you have to know which ones to get and how to wear them.
The wedges you need to get are not the ones that look like they belong at the beach. So you want to avoid wedges that look like they have rope, rattan, or cork on the wedge. Those are for the beach or for wearing with your maxi dress on the weekend. The wedges you are looking for look like they just replaced the stiletto heel with a wedge; they look office and boss appropriate. You don't have to worry about only having basic black wedges, you have many more options on how to wear wedges to work. You could also have a leopard print, metallic, or a fun color that will add a pop of color to a monotone outfit.
And lastly, you have to know how to wear them. A favorite look that shows how to wear wedges to work is to pair them with long wide-leg pants. However, you can also style them with a pencil skirt or a midi-length tube skirt. When you wear these shoes with your outfit, your clients and colleagues will say, "Damn, those shoes are boss!"

We believe discipleship begins in the home, as parents teach and show their children what it means to follow Jesus. As children grow older, discipleship expands to include the entire church in the process. At the Cathedral, our youth ministry seeks to provide a place for spiritual growth for middle and high schoolers. Our two youth groups focus on fellowship, Scripture study, and prayer to deepen our relationships with God and with one another.
Youth Group
Sunday from 4:00-5:30 pm in Wellbrock Hall. All middle and high School students are welcome to join us.

Weston, Massachusetts
Land's Sake Farm in Weston, MA is a 25-acre farm growing a wide array of vegetables using ecologically sustainable methods. We are part of an organization that connects people to the land through farming, outdoor education, forestry, and a wide array of community events and conservation initiatives. Our farm grows for a long-running CSA as well as a busy farm stand. We also donate much of our produce to charitable food access organizations.
We are currently hiring for several positions:
– Full-time Assistant Growers will start April 2 and end late October or November. Assistant growers will participate in many aspects of running the farm including greenhouse work, planting, harvesting, CSA distribution, and general farm tasks. Depending on experience and interest, Assistant Growers may also take on more advanced tasks like tractor work, crew leadership, and project management. This position requires at least one year of experience growing vegetables.
– Field Crew: This position is ideal for those with some experience working in outdoor/physical jobs who are looking to hone a wide range of farming skills without a full-time commitment. Field Crew members will participate in a wide range of field work including planting, harvesting, weeding, and tomato staking and tying. This position is 2-3 days a week from early June to mid September.
– Weeding Crew: This position is a great fit for those who want a part-time farming experience, mornings only, 4 days per week from late May through the end of August. The weeding crew is an integral part of keeping our organically-grown crops thriving despite weed pressure. Many weeding crew members have loved it so much they decided to persue a career in farming!
All employees receive free produce from the farm and worker's compensation. Pay is $10-$12 per hour depending on position and experience. Housing is not provided.
All positions require an excellent work ethic, good endurance for physical outdoor labor, strong communication skills, and the ability to work effectively with others.

Eastbourne Borough rounded off their Vanarama South season with a stalemate at Tommy Widdrington's former club Hemel Hempstead.
A typical end of season encounter Road saw both sides settle for a point, with the Tudors probably the more disappointed of the two teams having missed a second half penalty.
Matty Harriott had three opportunities in the first period for Hemel but, on each occasion, the midfielder failed to find the target.
Just before the interval, Nathaniel Pinney should have given the visitors the lead when he found himself in space but he dragged his shot wide.
The second period was much the same as the first, with the Tudors creating more of the chances but failing to trouble Lewis Carey in Eastbourne goal.
James Potton almost got the better of him with a free-kick, but the Borough keeper pushed the ball out for a corner.
The defining moment of the game came halfway through the second period when Dennis Oli headed on to Nicke Kabamba, who was pulled back as he seemed set to strike on goal. The referee awarded a penalty but only gave a yellow card for the offence.
With normal penalty taker Jordan Parkes sitting in the stand due to suspension, Matty Harriott stepped up but, to the home crowd's frustration, he drove his spot kick wide.
A late effort from Pinney almost stole the points, but in the end 0-0 was a fair result.
Borough: Carey, Worrall, Beale, Evans, Watts, Khinda John (Pinney), Aldred, McCallum, Pacquette, Johnson (Lok), Haysman,
Not Used: Pring, Simpemba, Botting.
