Does Explanation Destroy Art?
From an interview with Rinko Kawauchi, a Japanese photographer I am unfamiliiar with, comes what is possibly the world's worst interview question:I agree with Todd, that this is a terrible set-up to the question (and I actually don't like to ask photographers that question until I'm in their studio, where I can see for myself what cameras they're actually talking about, not being an expert on the subtle differences...at least not enough to where their answer would tell me anything important in an interview). But it was something a commenter noted in the discussion that really got me wondering:Miss Kawauchi, your photos bring me into a world of quiet contemplation, your camera captures the most intricate details of every day life, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary and revealing a lyrical rhythm to our daily lives and surroundings. Before I go into your motifs and motivation, may I start by asking you what cameras you use?
I saw a woman on the street the other day wearing a t-shirt saying, "Explanation Destroys Art." This may sound extreme. But there is some truth to the statement.I've heard this idea in various forms before, but it's never rung true to me. I understand fully well that what a photograph or sculpture or video expresses is often unexpressible in words, but the notion that the effort destroys the work in question makes no sense to me. If that were true, then the opposite would seem to have to be as well: a painting of a particular scene in a novel would destroy the prose. After all, are words any less prone to the supposed destructive forces of images than images are those of words?
What I think people who subscribe to that view actually mean is that "Explanation destroys the experience of Art for me." I don't think there's any point in disputing that...I wouldn't know what enhances or destroys the experience for any other individual...it's a totally personal thing. But I have several objections to the notion that explanation destroys art in general.
First is simply the idea that it can. Many artists I know are so secure in what they're doing that the oddest interpretation of their work imaginable seems to only amuse them. Even when the viewer gets it exactly wrong (i.e., the opposite of the intent), they respond with a generous acknowledgment that whatever the viewer sees is valuable because it demonstrates that at least they're not ambivalent (and isn't communication of some sort---the momentary spanning of the gulf between us---the ultimate intent of any art---and if so, isn't explanation proof of its success on that level?). So if a wholly mistaken interpretation of the work can't destroy it, how could anything short of that?
What the wearer of that T-shirt might have meant (although it's not clear) is that explanation of the art by the artist (i.e., the dreaded explanatory text) destroys it. Here again though, I don't see this. Wall text annoys me because I feel obligated to read it and often don't have time, not because it takes anything away from the work, IMO. I'm fully capable of ignoring it. And text can be an integral part of a piece (but not immediately clearly such), so it's silly to make sweeping generalizations about when it's destructive.
Secondly, explanations are simply another form of expression. If art can take as subject matter any part of the human experience, then how is literal interpretations of images (certainly just one part of the human experience) any less valid a form of expression? The message on this T-shirt seems to suggest that visual art is a higher (more delicate) art form than spoken or written art, which I wholly reject. Again, no one would suggest that a visual interpretation of a written or spoken art "destroyed" the work. It might not capture its essence very well, but it wouldn't take anything away from it unless it was used as a substitute. (Which is another possible interpretation of that message, actually...the idea that explanation, in lieu of experiencing the work itself, is destructive. That I would come closer to agreeing with, but "destroys" is still too strong a word here.)
Perhaps what I most object to in that statement is the implication that this frees artists from having to explain their work. I know that it's cool to insist everything you need to know about a piece can be learned by looking at it (and clearly it had better "speak" for itself on some level), but if visual art is a form of communication (and interest in communication is why the artist bothers at all), then it's either snobbish or anti-social to value one form of communication to the exclusion of all others, which may be the message the artist intends to send, but in no way supports the argument that explanation destroys their work.
Finally, I firmly believe that any effort to fully explain a visual artwork in words will ultimately fail, but there's value in the effort of interpreting visual art. The assumption that all anyone needs to "get" a work is to look at it presumes the viewer has had the same life experiences as the artist; that the context in which a work was created somehow travels with it; that the artist is fully aware of the siginficance of each and every one of their own choices (not to mention what they mean to other people); that the viewer has seen other work by the artist and can connect the dots, so to speak; and a whole host of other bits of information that may help the viewer "get" it before they grow too frustrated to bother.
Now I know there are those out there with memories like elephants who will tempted to respond with two anecdotes I'm fond of sharing, but I don't feel they counter this position in any way. The dealer who told his client (who wanted to know why a Diebenkorn was so special), "Just look at it" was talking with someone who already had a good background on what Diebenkorn's work was about and really only wanted reassurance that this one was a good one to own (not trusting their own eye, which is what "Just look at it" was meant to encourage them to do). And the collector who finally saw, after years of staring at it, what Newman was doing in a painting wasn't going to see it until the events in his life opened his eyes, but would have missed the chance to own it (and missed that epiphany) had he not trusted the dealer who sold it to him, one assumes, through explanations.
And no, I'm not defending explanations because that's the tool of my personal trade. I just happen to believe that there are few things in this world more worth talking/writing about than Art and don't like to see those who work hard to do so disparaged. Explanation flatters art...what is destructive about that?


text: Can you hear that sound? It is the sound of the air being let out of the economy. Since the election, there has been a massive tsunami of layoffs and business failures. Of course the company that is making the biggest headlines right now is Hostess. On Monday, Hostess will be in a New York bankruptcy courtroom as it begins the process of liquidating itself. Needless to say, Twinkie lovers all over America are horrified. Many are running out to grocery stores and hoarding as many as they can find, and some online sellers are already listing boxes of 10 Twinkies for as much as $10,000 on auction websites such as eBay. Well, there is really no reason to panic. It is very likely that another company will purchase the Twinkie brand and continue to produce them. In fact, it is already being rumored that a Mexican company may have the inside track. But even though the Twinkie may survive, the failure of Hostess is yet another sign of how weak the U.S. economy has become. Approximately 18,500 Hostess workers will be losing their jobs, and even if some of them are rehired by the company that takes over the Twinkie brand, the truth is that those workers will almost certainly be looking at greatly reduced pay and benefits. Sadly, we are seeing this kind of thing happen all over America. Large numbers of once thriving businesses are either shutting down or laying off workers. Overall, the failure of Hostess is not that big of a deal for the U.S. economy. But we may look back someday and remember Hostess as a symbol of the economic problems that were unleashed by the election of 2012. Since November 6th, a wave of pessimism has swept over the economy and we are now seeing some of the worst economic numbers that we have seen in more than a year. Many fear that we may have reached a tipping point and that things are only going to get worse from here. (Read More....)

I co-founded my first legit company at age 20 with a college-mate. Our first project almost put us out of business. Our second project literally put us out of business.
Fresh out of college, I spent many sleepless nights coding applications in Basic computer language. At that time I thought the telex machine was as cool and exciting of a device as computers. I still kinda think that.
For the next twenty years I worked jobs that helped me develop as a management professional and helped me travel the world.
Today, I'm a Consultant, an Entrepreneur, and a Co-Founder of Office Divvy and Palm Coast Media Online. Still a World Traveler, and the more I travel the more I realize there is to see.
You ask, "so, what are these posts?" They are odds and ends, documenting what otherwise would be just another day.

Lighting of the Candles
Return to Program and Remarks
Lloyd Chapin
Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of Faculty
August 8, 2008
According to the Book of Genesis, light is the oldest gift - a sign of the victory of meaning and being over chaos and the void. In the academic world you are now entering, light also symbolizes knowledge and truth. Tonight, as we light these candles, we do so as a way of expressing our commitment individually and as a community to those values that will sustain us as individuals, nourish us as a community of learning, and enable us to serve the needs of others. As your faculty mentors pass among you to share the light of their candles, I invite you to join in passing the light to one another. We also invite family members and guests to share in this moment by joining us in the passing of the light. When all the candles have been lit, Dean Marjorie Hardy will lead us in the Litany of Commitment found in your program.

At work, we are on kind of a skeleton crew this week since a lot of people are on vacation for the holidays. Well Monday morning I got to a good stopping place on what I was working on and so I stopped working and got up to walk around and take a break. None of my coworkers were there, so I walked outside in the back of our office and went for a walk on this walking trail that we have.
Here is a map of where I work so you can see what I'm talking about:
OK, you see where the words "Bud's Best Cookies" is on that map ? Well if you look straight up from there till you get to the line of trees by the river, you'd be looking at the place where my story occured.
I work in the Region's bank building next door to the Cookie factory.
Anyway, I come out the back door of the building about 10:45 and walk on this walking trail in that line of trees near the top of the ridge. Thats the Cahaba river in those trees, even though you can't tell from the picture there is a steep ravine down into the river and those building are high up on a bluff overlooking the river.
OK, so I come out the door and I walk no more than a hundred yards from the back door and I noticed that I could see a long way across the river, so I thought if I sat down and watched I could probably see some animals. So I took a couple steps off the trail and then I remembered that I had a squealing jackrabbit in my pocket, so I thought maybe if I called on it I might see a coyote or a bobcat down in the river bottom.
So I start blowing on the call, looking over the other side of the river and suddenly this huge buck jumps up not 20 feet away from me! Totally took me by surprise. Biggest buck I've seen all year and I'm not even in the woods and hunting, I'm basically standing in the back yard of an office complex. Well the buck ran off and I was so excited I went back inside and looked around for someone to tell about it, but since I'm basically by myself at the office this week - no luck.
So the next couple of days I've made it a point to go out there and look around a few times a day. I haven't seen anymore deer, but there is a ton of sign, deer scat, tracks, acorns.
I would have never guessed that the biggest deer I've seen all year I would see it right outside the office on a work day.

This is a great skate shoe the arch and heel support are great, never looses his shape, also you feel that your foot is lock into the shoe but it's not tight, suede last longer than many shoes also the no-sew helps a lot, the only bad thing is that the sole wears out faster than the nyjahs but maybe the gum sole last longer.
Best shoe for my needs and my favorite.

I wanted a good pair of kicks. My friend who is really into shoes recommended them to me. I am happy with the way they look. The length and width of the shoes are right but my toes hurt a bit when they bend as I walk. The height of the toe is low and aesthetically looks nice but bothers me if I have a thicker sock on.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (June 21, 2009) — Irish-bred Oil Man rallied from fifth in the final furlong under jockey Joel Rosario to score a one-length victory over pacesetter Arcodoro in Sunday's $100,000 Cinema Handicap at Hollywood Park.
Oil Man, the 2-1 second choice in the field of six 3-year-olds, covered 1 1/8 miles on the Lakeside Turf Course in 1:48.72 while winning his second straight race and third in ten starts.
The son of Pyrus disappointed while running seventh on a yielding turf course at Keeneland in April, but he has made no mistakes since then.
"I wanted to stay a little closer today because there wasn't a lot of speed in the race," Rosario said. "I asked him for run turning for home and he responded real good. He finished up real strong."
Oil Man, owned by Tommy Town Thoroughbreds and trained by John Sadler, banked $60,000 to increase his earnings to $107,194.
"He showed that he really wants long distance," Sadler said. "He'll stay forever. We were a little concerned with the scratches that there wouldn't be much pace. Sometimes it's a galloping pace, it wasn't even that fast a pace and they all kind of bunched up. Where this horse has a chance to make a dent is in some mile-and-one-quarter, mile-and-one-half races."
Arcodoro, the highest price on the board at 17-1 under Joseph Talamo, ran gamely through the stretch, hanging on for second money by a neck over favorite Massone and jockey Garrett Gomez.
"He had a great trip," Talamo said. "I just rode him like my man Eric Guillot said and it worked out pretty good. He told me to go for the lead and if we go anywhere near :48, we'll be in pretty good shape. For a maiden, he ran a winning race."
Oil Man paid $6.40, $3.40 and $2.80. Arcodoro returned $10.40 and $4.40, while the show payoff on Massone was $2.40.
"I had a perfect trip," Gomez said. "I saved all the ground on both turns, split horses and didn't have to come off the fence too much. But I pointed him for the hole and he didn't quicken very much — just kind of stayed at the same pace."
Rosario rode his 55th and 56th winners of the meeting to move into a tie atop the jockeys' standings with Rafael Bejarano. Doug O'Neill, who holds a commanding lead in the trainers' standings with 29 wins, saddled a pair of winners.

March 2, 2012
my kitchen apothecarium
front row, left to right: golden flax seed, dried oregano leaves, shea butter; middle row, left to right: dried rosemary leaves, dried lavender buds, coconut oil; back row: extra-virgin olive oil
Olive oil, coconut oil, flax seed, lavender, rosemary, oregano. They're all things we usually have on hand in our pantry and often use to make our food. But since I decided to try making our own body care products, those pantry staples have become a way to live simply and frugally and cleanly, both for ourselves and for the environment. Along with all that, I get to make stuff.
With these very simple ingredients I've been able to replace several expensive products. For a replenishing facial cleanser I use a simple mix of olive oil, lavender Castile soap, vegetable glycerin and water. As a basic facial scrub I use flax seeds that I grind in a spice/coffee grinder. I store the ground seeds in a spice container that has a sifter cap with large holes. To add a little extra exfoliating effect to my facial routine, I mix a few shakes of the ground seeds with a little of the facial cleanser when I wash my face. As a toner I use a simple infusion of lavender flowers and distilled water. For a soothing face and body moisturizer, I make a creamy emulsion of olive oil, coconut oil, shea butter, beeswax, lavender essential oil and distilled water using my immersion blender.
For a natural alternative to store-bought deodorant, I use an old stick deodorant container and pour in a combination of melted coconut oil, baking soda, cornstarch and essential oils, and then let everything solidify in the refrigerator for an hour. When this runs out, I'll try this recipe for homemade deodorant next. I'm still experimenting with different shampoo and conditioner recipes; one of the simplest I've seen involves mixing liquid Castile soap, olive oil, aloe vera gel, and water infused with herbs. Since several recipes use herbal infusions or decoctions, I'll be able to make use of the abundance of herbs we have in our spring and summer garden. For essential oils, I use lavender and tea tree oil which are affordable and can be bought online if you can't find them locally.
front row, left to right: lavender water toner, lavender face & body cream, ground golden flax seed scrub; back row, left to right: olive oil cleansing lotion, liquid castile soap, coconut oil deodorant
All of this started from a continuing desire to simplify the variety of different products we buy and to reduce the amount of synthetic chemicals in our lives. With a small investment of time you can make products that are healthier, cheaper, and greener. For information and recipes, I've listed several books below, all of which I was able to rent from our local library. I've also included the recipe for the lavender face and body cream I use, which I've adapted from Dina Falconi's Earthly Bodies, Heavenly Hair. It's worth a try if you're so inclined. My advice is this: start slowly by switching out one thing at a time, keep the formulations inexpensive and simple, and experiment until you find what works best for you.
Though making your own products has many benefits, what I've realized, as with baking and cooking, is that when it comes down to it, I really like to make stuff. I love the process of trying and learning something new, the satisfaction in the success of it, and the pure enjoyment of the result. Though I haven't calculated the exact financial savings of making our own body care, I think it's pretty cool to able to be make something that is good for our bodies, and the earth too, all from my kitchen apothecarium.
Lavender Face & Body Cream
(adapted from Earthly Bodies, Heavenly Hair by Dina Falconi)
3/4 cup/6 oz. extra virgin olive oil or almond oil
1/4 cup/2 oz. coconut oil
2 tablespoons/1 oz. unrefined shea butter
3/4 oz. beeswax
1 cup + 2 tablespoons/9 oz. purified or distilled water
30 to 60 drops lavender essential oil
1 quart glass pyrex measuring cup
electronic scale
shallow saucepan
instant-read thermometer
immersion blender
(Important note: Measurements for water, liquid and solid oils and butters are by volume; measurement for beeswax is by weight. In other words, use volume containers such as measuring cups and spoons for measuring the water, liquid and solid oils and butters, and use an electronic scale to measure the beeswax. You can also increase the amount of beeswax to 1 ounce; the cream will be slightly thicker.
Also, this recipe, when made with olive oil as the base, produces a very rich cream, great for very dry skin. When made with almond oil as the base, the final cream is a little lighter and more suitable for dry to normal skin. If you're unsure, try making a half-batch of this recipe so you can test what you like before making the full version).
Put olive oil or almond oil, coconut oil, shea butter and beeswax in the glass pyrex measuring cup. Fill the saucepan half-way with water. Place pyrex container in the water bath in the saucepan, turn heat to low, and stir until the coconut oil, shea butter, and beeswax are completely melted. Transfer mixture to a 1 quart mason jar. Let mixture come to body temperature, about 98ºF. While oils are cooling, heat water to body temperature, about 98ºF. Pour water into mason jar containing melted beeswax and oils. Add lavender essential oil. Place immersion blender into the jar until blade or whisk touches the bottom of the jar. Turn blender on; once the mixture begins to emulsify, move blender around the jar to incorporate any streaks of unblended oil or water. Blend until mixture is a creamy emulsion, as you would when making homemade mayonnaise. Transfer to clean jar with tight-fitting lid. Let the cream sit for a few hours before using it. Store the cream away from direct heat and sun. The cream should keep for 3 to 6 months.

Michelle, Very interesting. I also have started to make some of these products. Most specifically household cleaning products this week.ReplyDelete
I tried lotion in December but didn't like the way it turned out. I used beeswax and I didn't like the texture. I wanted something more creamy, like what you picture in the large jar in your photo. What is that?
Thanks for the infoReplies
Hi Marty,Delete
the first time I attempted making my own face and body cream, I used a formula from the internet that wasn't quite right and that didn't explain the process of emulsifying. I didn't like the texture either-it was too waxy and thick once it cooled. I was able to fix it, (as pictured in the large jar above), by adapting the basic cream formula from one of the books I rented, "Earthly Bodies, Heavenly Hair" (see recipe above). You can use a blender, but I prefer the immersion blender because it always creates a perfect emulsion. Hope this helps!
Hello I have a few questions about this. I hope you can help! :]ReplyDelete
It will be my first time trying to make my own lotion and I was wondering if you can trade almond oil for the olive oil? If not that's fine I love both oils. I'm just worried it won't turn out the same, so I just need an opinion on that one lol.
Next, can you use a hydrosol in place of the water.. its still water, or do you think that would risk it spoiling it? Thank you for this!Replies
Hi Lacey,Delete
Glad to help! Yes, you can substitute almond oil for the olive oil-in fact, in the latest batch I made for myself, I used an almond oil base. I've made this lotion with grapeseed oil as well. As long as you keep the recipe ratios the same, any of those oils work fine. The only difference is that the lotion made with an almond oil base will have a lighter weight on your skin than one made with olive oil; it just depends on what you prefer.
A hydrosol would work fine as well, and would actually probably help the lotion keep for a longer period of time, since it is more acidic and antiseptic than straight distilled water. See this article on the Mountain Rose Herbs website http://www.mountainroseherbs.com/learn/whatishydrosol.html
Hope that helps, and that you enjoy the results! Let me know if you have any problems with or questions about your first batch.
Hi I was wondering if I could get the ratios for the replenishing facial cleaner ?ReplyDeleteReplies
The recipe for the facial cleanser, "Olive Oil Cleansing Lotion" is from a book called Natural Beauty At Home by Janice Cox, which you can find at the bookstore, online at Amazon, or rent for free from the library. I've found using castile soap is too drying for my skin, so since I published this post I've changed to using just a mixture of olive oil, castor oil, and a few drops of lavender essential oil and tea tree essential oil, commonly referred to as the "oil cleansing method," which I've used for several months now and love. Here's some links to help you formulate your own ratio for the oil cleansing method according to your skin type.Delete
I've been looking for a good simple lotion recipe that uses easy to find ingredients when I found your page. Thanks so much for this recipe. I haven't tried it yet, but have a question: How do I get a slightly thinner lotion that is suitable for small plastic bottles? Or can this one be put into bottles (using a cake icing bag maybe)? Do I decrease the beeswax, or increase the water and/or oil? Thanks again!ReplyDeleteReplies
DIna Falconi has a formula in her book "Earthly Bodies, Heavenly Hair" for a thinner type of lotion, using borax and beeswax, to help emulsify the larger ratio of water to oil required for a thinner consistency. You can also find her book at the bookstore, online at Amazon, or at the public library. It's a great resource and I highly recommend it if you're interested in experimenting with making your own stuff, as it has several formulas for infusions, tinctures, salves, balms, creams and lotions, etc. The lavender and face body cream is pretty thick and best stored in a large wide-mouthed jar. Unfortunately I think it'd be too thick for small plastic bottles and way too much of a hassle to get out. Decreasing the beeswax will make the emulsion less stable, so I'd try Dina's lotion formula (p.85-86, Earthly Bodies, Heavenly Hair).Delete
I've tried this recipe but it was very greasy. I don't know what I did wrong. :(ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Elizabeth,Delete
Were you able to get the mixture to a proper emulsion? The consistency should be very creamy, like the picture, and not oily or have any residue of oil left. This may occur if you either wait too long (beeswax/oil mixture hardens past the point of blending well) or too short (oil/beeswax mixture is still too warm) when blending the melted oil, butter, and beeswax mixture with the water. I also highly recommend using the hand blender to emulsify everything; it always seems to create a perfect emulsion, whereas doing it in a blender can be hit or miss, and difficult to clean.
If you were able to create the proper emulsion, bear in mind that this cream, when made with the olive oil base, is very rich, and may be too heavy for some people. A little bit goes a long way. Lately I have been making this same recipe but with an almond oil base, which absorbs easier into my skin. I will amend this post to reflect that, in case that is the issue you've encountered. If the batch you made is properly emulsified but just too heavy for daily use, you can use it as a nighttime cream for rough spots such as elbows, knees or feet.
Please let me know if that helps. You might want to try experimenting with the lighter oils, such as almond or grapeseed, or even leave out the shea butter and replace it with extra coconut oil. Maybe try making a half batch at a time until you get what you like.
Thank you so much for this recipe! I'm totally in love with it!ReplyDelete
I was eyeing it for quite some time and finally got some distilled water to go for it (I made a half-batch to test it out). I used Grapeseed oil, coconut oil and the shea butter. Also, I had a bag of Chamomile tea so steeped that in the distilled water. Didn't use nearly as many drops of essential oil because I find the scent of Lavender too strong, but the end result is quite lovely! Moisturizing and not too greasy at all. :D I used it on my face (I am going through a dry spell as winter has hit us) and it's lovely!
Thanks again!Replies
You're welcome-I'm glad it's worked well for you. The water infused with chamomile sounds like a great variation. If you're curious about making other homemade cosmetic products it's worth checking out the book that I adapted the recipe from, "Earthly Bodies and Heavenly Hair" by Dina Falconi. You may be able to check it out from your local library if you don't want to purchase it. It has many other recipes and basic formulas for infusions, tinctures, salves, balms, creams and lotions. Best wishes!Delete
Is this recipe suitable for lotion bottles with pump tops? If not, is there a way to revise it so it can be? Also, can you mix different oils together in the same category as long as you stick to the proportions? For example, can I mix sweet almond oil, jojoba oil, grape seed oil, and vitamin E oil for the liquids and shea butter, mango butter, and coconut oil for the solids? Lastly, will a mini hand held immersion blender with a whisk attachment work well with this?ReplyDeleteReplies
The recipe makes a thick cream, different than a lotion, so I wouldn't recommend putting it in a lotion bottle with a pump top-it's best to store it in a large wide-mouthed jar.Delete
To make a homemade lotion, I'd recommend using the formula on pp. 85-86 in Dina Falconi's book "Earthly Bodies, Heavenly Hair" which uses borax and beeswax to help emulsify the larger ratio of water to oil required for a thinner consistency. You can find her book at the bookstore, online at Amazon, or at the public library.
As far as mixing different oils, my guess is that it would be fine as long as you kept the proportions the same-6 oz. liquid oils, 3 oz. solid oils.
A whisk attachment on a regular-size handheld immersion blender would work, but I don't know about your mini handheld immersion blender. If your mini handheld is a professional one that has a lot of power, I'd say yes; if it's a very inexpensive consumer model that doesn't have enough horsepower or speed, it may not be strong or fast enough to get the job done.

I notice that you do not refrigerate your lotion and it keeps without a preservative? I am sure you have done this for awhile and must know that there are preservative 'police' out there who would have fits that you didn't use any. What is it that makes you comfortable not using any?ReplyDelete
I really am just interested in hearing the other side.
The lavender essential oil acts as a preservative. For a very similar version of this cream, but for use on the body only and not for the face, you can add up to 2-3/4 teaspoons of essential oil and the cream will keep for 6 months to a year outside refrigeration.Delete
You can use an emulsifying wax instead of beeswax. The emulsifying wax will help the water and the oils to mix together properly. I would also add a little bit of preservative so that your cream will last longer, and you wont have to worry about any bacteria growing in it.Delete
Hi Rebecca,Delete
According to the Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep Cosmetics Database, http://www.ewg.org/skindeep/ emulsifying wax has a hazard rating of 4, or moderate, while beeswax has a rating of 0, or low. So I'd opt for the lower risk additive when making the lotion. Also, as I mention in my comment above, lavender essential oil acts as a natural preservative.
- AnonymousMay 17, 2013
Just made this recipe.ReplyDelete
My notes:
For oil I used equal parts of olive oil and apricot oil.
Added 1600 IU of vitamin E oil to the water to act as a preservative;
(4 capsules, 400 IU each; just punctured the capsules and squeezed in the oil)
Added the water in a very slow stream while beating it into the oil mixture to give the oil mixture time to incorporate the water.
After beating in the water, I added 2 tsp. of liquid lecithin, which is an emulsifier and kept beating. (I used an electric mixer and I do not have an immersion blender) The lotion immediately took on a beautiful, very smooth, satin-like texture. It is really nice and you need to use so little. Just love it. Thanks so much for sharing.Replies
You're welcome-sounds lovely!Delete
- AnonymousJune 05, 2013
Hello I was wondering if you have to use bees wax in this recipe. I have the hardest time getting off my utensils and containers . Any suggestions would be appreciated.ReplyDelete
I don't think this recipe will work without the beeswax, which helps keep everything emulsified (mixed together) as it sits, and prevents the body cream from melting at a higher room temperature. To clean the immersion blender and other containers I use to make the body cream, I directly apply a good liquid dishwashing soap, like Dawn, without diluting with water, and rub to help break down the greasy residue, then rinse with water. It might take a couple applications to get the residue completely off so things are squeaky clean, but that works really well for me.Delete
No preservative?ReplyDeleteReplies
The lavender oil acts as a preservative.Delete
- Mary ElliottJuly 05, 2014
Michele, I tried your recipe using sweet almond oil. I also dissolved 1/4 teaspoon of borax powder (sodium borate) in the water as it heated. (Borax is an emulsifier and a mild preservative.) I used my immersion blender with the whisk attachment for about 5 minutes, then refrigerated the mixture overnight and whipped it again with the whisk. It's light and creamy and smells divine! Thanks!Delete
Glad that worked for you, Mary!Delete

I received my second Stalker bow sling from Don East of EastOutfitter's of Cottage Grove, Oregon. This sling will be for my son's future Hunting bow. The slings are easy to use, Highly adjustable to fit most folks. You can shoot with the sling left on unlike the others slings...you have to remove the sling first before you can shoot. In a Spot and stalk situation....every second counts and removing a sling makes a lot of noise which will give up your position and spook the critters. You can shoulder the bow left or right or on the back. I like to have my bow at the ready on my left side with the bows handle near my bow hand. When the situation arises, All I have to do is flick the strap off my shoulder and give it another flick to the right to clear the cams and sight picture. Nock and arrow and I'm ready to fill a tag. I have shot with the strap on connected to the riser of the bow and I haven't had any noise issue's or marring of the bows paint. The sling is light and simple to use. I will be adding a video to this review in the next few days.

Erno Laszlo: SPF 30 Plus
Erno Laszlo
"Beautiful skin requires commitment, not a miracle." – Erno Laszlo
A review of the history of skin care quickly reveals how much we owe to Erno Laszlo, the Hungarian skin pathologist who established many of the principles that are now commonplace features of skin care. In 1927, Laszlo made headlines by curing a Hungarian princess of chronic acne that no other physician had been able to treat. By 1937, Hollywood celebrities like Ava Gardner and Grace Kelly were flocking to him for help with their complexions. The effectiveness of Laszlo's methods caused a worldwide sensation, but it wasn't miracle cures that he was offering to women; Laszlo's methods centered on establishing a good daily skin care regimen of cleansing and moisturizing.

Erno Laszlo Customer Reviews- 5/11/2014 8:32:27 AM It was like finding an old friend. I became a fan of Erno Laszlo in the 70's & believe it is was the foundation for my quest to find the best anti-aging products before it was too late. It seemed to suddenly leave the marketplace & I was left to finding alternatives which never matched up. Sea mud soap was the foundation that prepared the skin for what beauty regimen was to follow. Words cannot explain the joy I felt when I found sea mud soap on your products list. Even Dr. Oz endorsed sea mud soap as a great addition to a beauty regimen. Thank you Skin Store for offering this product after all these years.EL great toner for any age - 5/8/2013 7:52:33 PM I just want to say that this is not drying at all. Pores are smaller and skin is tighter. I am thrilled to have found this toner. I will never go back to my old brand. You will love it!!Effective treatment - 4/21/2013 7:25:33 AM This cream is thick when applied, however it absorbs and skin looks healthy in the morning. I love all Laszlo products. I left and came back and I won't leave again. I would use it at night only, I purchased another cream for daytime use.Excellent Product - 4/15/2013 5:57:17 AM I used the Laszlo routine several years ago and went away. I'm very happy to be back, my skin is stabilizing again and looks terrific. I'm a 10:30 (Dry) and this is the same as I had in my earlier use. There is a definite shrinking of pores as my skin is so clean. It seems counter intuitive putting oil on your face, but it works like magic. I won't stop again.Instant Relief! - 1/26/2013 5:06:04 AM Comfort for Winter Cold! Thanks for Very Fast Service!Great soap, clinical smell - 10/25/2012 6:21:05 AM I really like this soap, for oily skin it works great, antibacterial, non abrasive, will provide a matte canvas, mild and a great amount for your money, which will last for long time, the only coin is the smell, they added parfum (as written in the ingredients list), but this soap smells clinical and not pleasant, lavender, fruit, or sandalwood, but not clinical please.....regards, Salvo PS: this soap is made by Erno Laszlo since decades and still has the same smell, just the color is now blue, before it was brown.Not enough - 10/13/2012 6:21:05 PM This is a very thick moisturizer, however it calms irritated skin almost immediately. The only thing i noticed is that my skin is still rough the morning after or at the end of the day...so i mix it with another product that contains hyaluronic acid and its perfect.Nothing Like It! - 10/7/2012 10:01:17 AM I have used this product for years! I actually use it more as a first aid cream than a moisturizer. It works practically overnight on burns, cuts, sunburn. It is unbelievably healing! Well worth the $$$$!glad to be back - 9/17/2012 11:10:31 AM Used erno laszlo for a long time then stopped. now using it again. Very pleased with feel of skin after used. Hoping it helps with firmingtoo soon to tell.Excellent eye care gel - 8/24/2012 6:28:17 AM this eye care gel is excellent, within a certain age we have to use eye creams, thats a fact, even man do so. This is a super product, for all concerns, not irritating the eyes at all, (the most eye creams do) and really does a super job. Light and easy to use, and after a long night, put in the morning a thick amount as a mask, does wonders...you will love it, Salvo

Furloughs of U.S. meat inspectors that could disrupt meat delivery throughout the country will probably be concentrated in July through September, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack told lawmakers on Tuesday.
Vilsack said furloughs of meat inspectors required under sequestration, or automatic budget cuts that took effect this month, will disrupt the meat industry. He said USDA will send furlough notices to meat inspectors this week, but it will be several months before they will occur because of the extensive preparations needed.
The furloughs, which could lead to spotty shutdowns of meat plants and meat shortages, would be one of the most visible effects of sequestration, he said. By law, processors cannot ship meat without the USDA inspection seal.
"We will do everything we can to minimize disruptions," Vilsack said at a hearing of the House Agriculture Committee. "It will impact inspections."
USDA has said it would stagger the furloughs to minimize their effect on operations. "I don't think you're going to see a continuous furlough," Vilsack told lawmakers at a hearing on the state of the rural economy days after U.S. President Barack Obama signed the sequester order.
The Obama administration says all 8,400 inspectors might be furloughed for a total of 15 days. Vilsack said the total was more likely to be 11 or 12 days.
The agency will need a substantial amount of time to deliver notices to inspectors, hold consultations and schedule furloughs, said Vilsack.
"We are looking at a several-month period, if you will, before a furlough could be implemented," he said. "The industry will have some notice of what will happen."
As a result, the furloughs could take place mainly in the final three months of the fiscal year, which ends on Sept. 30. "That's one of the problems," Vilsack said. One-third of USDA's 100,000 employees may be affected by furloughs.
"It's a process we have to follow," he told reporters. He said USDA was not trying to delay action in hopes that Congress would resolve the fiscal crisis and eliminate the furloughs.
The administration says furloughs of inspectors en masse would shut down meat packers and processors for two weeks and cost them $10 billion in production.
Meat inspectors are guaranteed 30 days' notice of a furlough, said the union that represents them. Inspectors could face a furlough of one day a week but not always the same day.
During the hearing, committee chairman Frank Lucas, a Republican from Oklahoma, chided the administration for "trying to scare the American people with worst-case scenarios."

Digestive Disorders Health Center
Nausea and Vomiting
When to Call the Doctor About Nausea and Vomiting
Call a doctor about nausea and vomiting:
- If the nausea lasts for more than a few days or if there is a possibility of being pregnant.
- If home treatment is not working, dehydration is present, or a known injury has occurred (such as head injury or infection) that may be causing the vomiting.
- Adults should consult a doctor if vomiting occurs for more than one day, diarrhea and vomiting last more than 24 hours, or there are signs of moderate dehydration.
- Take an infant or child under six years to the doctor if vomiting lasts more than a few hours, diarrhea is present, signs of dehydration occur, there is a fever higher than 100 degrees Fahrenheit, or if the child hasn't urinated for six hours.
- Take a child over age six years to the doctor if vomiting lasts one day, diarrhea combined with vomiting lasts for more than 24 hours, there are signs of dehydration, there is a fever higher than 102 degrees or the child hasn't urinated for six hours.
You should seek immediate medical care if any of the following situations occur with vomiting:
- There is blood in the vomit (bright red or "coffee grounds" in appearance)
- Severe headache or stiff neck
- Lethargy, confusion, or a decreased alertness
- Severe abdominal pain
- Fever over 101 degrees
- Diarrhea
- Rapid breathing or pulse
How Is Vomiting Treated?
Treatment for vomiting (regardless of age or cause) includes:
- Drinking gradually larger amounts of clear liquids.
- Avoiding solid food until the vomiting episode has passed.
- Temporarily discontinuing all oral medications (which can irritate the stomach and make vomiting worse). But, do not discontinue any medication before checking with your doctor first.
- If vomiting and diarrhea last more than 24 hours, an oral rehydrating solution such as Pedialyte should be used to prevent and treat dehydration.
- Pregnant women experiencing morning sickness can eat some crackers before getting out of bed or eat a high protein snack before going to bed (lean meat or cheese).
- Vomiting associated with cancer treatments can often be treated with another type of drug therapy. There are also prescription and nonprescription drugs that can be used to control vomiting associated with pregnancy, motion sickness, and some forms of dizziness. However, consult with a doctor before using these treatments.
How Can I Prevent Nausea?
There are several ways to try and prevent nausea from developing:
- Eat small meals throughout the day instead of three large meals.
- Eat slowly.
- Avoid hard-to-digest foods.
- Consume foods that are cold or room temperature if you nauseated by the smell of hot or warm foods.
- Rest after eating with your head elevated about 12 inches above your feet.
- Drink liquids between meals instead of during meals and drink at least six to eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day to prevent dehydration (unless fluid restricted for another medical condition).
- Try to eat when you feel less nauseated.

Cameron International, one of the companies facing lawsuits over the April 2010 Deepwater Horizon explosion and spill, has failed in its attempt to block a non-jury trial planned for February before a federal judge in New Orleans. In that trial, U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier will decide which companies should face liability claims. Likely to face the brunt of claims are BP, Transocean Ltd., Halliburton and Cameron.
Barbier cited maritime law in ruling that a non-jury trial is appropriate for assigning liability, a ruling Cameron appealed to the 5th Circuit. The 5th Circuit panel rejected Cameron's appeal.

Ha, I used y'all's original cake box cookie recipe and have made a ton of different varieties of cookies with it, including RV whoopie pies! They are always a hit!
I don't see the bourbon in the ingredient list, but it is mentioned in the directions. Can't wait to make these!
Hi Sandra! I didn't mean to type bourbon . . . ha ha! I have heard that 1 T of bourbon tastes amazing in cake mix cookies, but I have never tried it. Let me know if you do and if you like it!
As I kid, I couldn't eat enough Whoopie Pies!!!!

These look so delicious!!!
Oh how I love Red Velvet! I would love if you would add this to the Lovely Things Thursday Linky Party!
These look so yummy! I would love it if you would come link this up at my Pinworthy Projects Link Party.
I can't believe I've never made whoopie pies before!! These red velvet ones look SO good! Thanks for sharing at oopsey daisy!
Do these have to be put in the fridge due to the cream cheese frosting?
I made these last week and they were sooo yummy! The two comments I'd make: (1) the filling didn't turn out as thick as I thought it would. It wasn't actually runny, but it was somewhat runny and I had to put the whoopee pies in the fridge after I sandwiched them so the filling wouldn't ooze out the sides. I'm in Texas, so the humidity may have had something to do with that, I don't know. (2) The next time I make these, I think I'll cut the filling recipe by 1/3 or so because I had a ton left over.
But yes, these were so good and were a big hit!!
I truly relish whilst I go through your blogs and articles.
These are awesome!! Thanks so much for posting this!
Stopping by from Katherine's Corner Blog hop. These look yum! Maybe I will make these for Valentine gifts. Thanks for sharing the recipe. ~Rebekah@weliveinspired

Build In Transparency and Openness
Light is what I think about first when designing a kitchen. I like to keep the flow of natural light unrestricted by not placing cabinets too close to windows. I also try to maximize views and create the feeling of openness by lowering the height of windowsills to make them even with the countertop.

The wind was blowing 55-60 knots when I took the sunset pictures, that is about 65-70mph. I had to lean about 70 degrees into the wind to keep my footing and when I turned my back to it it blew my 210lb frame across the deck. I managed to stay on my feet. The next time you hear, "We climbed such and such a mountain and it was blowin' 100mph!" you can tell them I said, "Yeah. Right!"

Mount Washington:http://ghostflowers.com/nhscenics/mountwashington.html
I got up early this morning in anticipation of the Edu-trip that was to bring 9 photographers led by Jim Salgeto the summit this morning. The crockpot was soon full of beef, mushrooms, onions and later red peppers as I prepared the mid-day meal of Brown Sugar/Bourbon Stew.
Outside the winds were ramping up. I knew there was a good possibility today that the mountain would say, "No!" Early on I crossed my fingers in hope they could make it to the summit. They had waited for another driver to come along and join the other already there. For safety it is always good to have two drivers along in case of emergency. We listened as they left the base of the Auto Road.
The wind continued to accelerate. When they reached halfway we thought, "Well, that was the easy part." They continued on. Ernie and I set about the task of getting ready for their arrival. Beds were made in the bunkroom. The extra table was put out to accommodate the hungry travelers. A huge urn of coffee was ready. The smell of the stew was beginning to fill the living quarters.
They turned onto Cragway and had to stop as they faced into the full-force of the wind. They waited in hopes that the blowing snow would allow them to continue. Then it came. The disappointing radio call, "We're turning back! Visibility is zero."
My heart sunk as I considered how disappointed those on board must be feeling at that point, especially my buddy, Jim. The edu-trippers had paid good money in hopes of making the trip which for some, like myself on my first trip, would bring them memories of a lifetime.
Thrashing about in the back of the Bombardier as it plowed it's way along. Looking out windows that might as well have been painted over as there were no views to be had through them, no point of reference. For some I am sure it meant motion sickness.
The wind bore down on the summit as it rose to speeds of 70mph, gusting to 90. Category One Hurricane force winds. Much too risky, no, impossible to proceed. The plow would lift the snow up and over the blade. Sometimes the visibility was such that the driver could not see the plow only a few feet in front of him.
The brute force of nature had prevailed. Mount Washington lived up to it's reputation as the World's Worst Weather once again. The Great Spirit, Agiocochook, said, "You will not visit my realm today."

I didn't get outside much today, I did however go out to take some video. I apologize I don't know of a way to show it here, but it is posted on my FB page. Eventually it will make it to smugmug where it can be viewed. Things up here have been crazy.
This afternoon winds continued to ramp up until they reached the century mark this evening. Reaching a peak gust of 107mph and blowing steady at 89mph it has been an interesting day. The temp has dropped to -1F and the windchill is -39.
Little inconveniences like this do not stop the Observers from going out to take their hourly readings and to chip ice off the instruments. It has gone on in this fashion, with few exceptions, since 1932. As I sit comfortable in a concrete and steel building I imagine what it was like before the Sherman Adams Building was here. I don't think I would have wanted to be up here.
I did get out on the deck and experience 80+mph winds, but no, I didn't try to join The Century Club. I have a new respect for hurricane force winds, however. Jim Cantore and all the other TV Stormchasers have nothing on the Obs Croo!
Why Doncha Take A Picture?
Being inside most of the day gave me some quality time with Marty who showed me how to climb furniture, roll around like a tumbleweed in the wind and give the most malevolent stare anybody could possibly give. Those of you who know me know I am already pretty good at these things, but I'm taking it to a new level under Marty's watchful tutelage.
See? I can Be Cute If I Wanna!
Delicious Cheese Souffle
At supper we stuffed ourselves to the gills with the stew meant for the ill-fated edu-trip, a wonderful cheese souffle appetizer provided by chef extraordinaire Ernie, who also provided a scrumptious carrot cake for dessert which topped off the meal.
Carrot Cake For Dessert
As I sit in the kitchen and write this, the wind has found its way down the stove vents, into the room and down the back of my neck, bringing with it a few rogue snowflakes and ice pellets. As the building creaks and groans from the onslaught of the howling wind demons outside, I think I will go re-read "Not Without Peril" to calm myself to sleep...
Mount Washington:http://ghostflowers.com/nhscenics/mountwashington.html
Cheese Souffle looks killer, toss in freshly made carrot cake and we have a winning night.
Sorry, to hear about the Edutrip. I'm sure at the time of this post, Jim is still somewhere in the area and has already taken a ton of photos. He's probable having breakfast, preparing for his mid-morning adventure. I'd go as far as to guess some of the Edutripper's are still with Jim.
Of course I could be totally wrong but, the souffle and carrot cake are still killer.

Kevin, great pictures and I am really enjoying your comments. Even when there is nothing going on there is something going on. Marty looks like he is in total control, such a "Cool" Looking cat...
I totally agree with Karen about the souffle and carrot cake. I make a good carrot cake, but have never tried a souffle, I should take a stab at one once.
Kevin, I am also really enjoying your pictures and comments. And the dishes you and Ernie have been preparing look DELICIOUS! Thanks for posting them.

Tip-Top House in 70MPH Winds
Despite 70+mph winds all day and peak gusts over 100 again, a Bombardier Snow Tractor did make it to the summit today. The difference between yesterday and today? Visibility. Clear skies and the summit out of the fog made it possible where yesterday the fog and blowing snow combined made the going much to risky to attempt. Just the luck of the draw. shame, but nothing to be done about it.
