Anyway, hindi ito patungkol sa kumakanta... Patungkol ito sa mensahe ng kanta.. =)
The kind of faith it takes to climb out of this boat I'm in
Onto the crashing waves
To step out of my comfort zone
To the realm of the unknown where Jesus is
And He's holding out his hand
But the waves are calling out my name and they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times I've tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling me
Time and time again. 'Boy, you'll never win!'
"You'll never win"
But the voice of truth tells me a different story
And the voice of truth says "Do not be afraid!"
And the voice of truth says "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth
Oh what I would do to have
The kind of strength it takes to stand before a giant
With just a Sling and a stone
Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors
Shaking in their armor
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand
But the giant's calling out my name and he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times I've tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me
Time and time again "boy, you'll never win!
"You'll never win"
But the stone was just the right size
To put the giant on the ground
And the waves they don't seem so high
From on top of them looking down
I will soar with the wings of eagles
When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
Singing over me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth...

Is this really the end???
I don't speak Japanese, so I don't know whether they said Ep12 was the final ep in the preview from Ep11. I see people posting things that say Ep12 is the end, though. It will be sad to see this show go...
So - any predictions for the finale?
Will it be Hazumu/Yasuna? Hazumu/Tomari? Hazumu/Asuta? Hazumu/Ayuki? Or... maybe Yasuna and Tomari ditch Hazumu and run off together, leaving Hazumu to pair up with Jan-Puu. Or they all move in together and have a group marriage in Malibu.
I was thinking they were heading for a three-way relationship (and the manga may still do so), until we got to Ep11 and Ayuki's speech about the two plants trying to grow in the single flower pot. (Coincidentally, there was an article at Slate.com last week about the polygamy debate that had me thinking about this show.) Now I think Hazumu will end up with Yasuna. Tomari may be Hazumu's childhood friend, but it's been obvious over the course of the series that Yasuna has more in common with her. I think Hazumu will pledge to stay by Yasuna's side, even if Yasuna never gets her sight back - which will be what gives Yasuna her sight back. I'm not sure whether Hazumu will be changed back into a boy - I'd rather she stay a girl, and I think she'd prefer that, too. But you never know.
On a side note, will Namiko finally land Sora? He says his people don't know anything about love, and there's Namiko waving an opportunity for him to get some firsthand experience right in his face. Will he notice?
Anyone else have any ideas?

/Edit: As far as guessing the end...not sure. Having only understood the fan-subs up to Ep 9, I'm not really sure what's going to happen. I'm not sure if they're heading for a 3-way relationship. Maybe the space ship will crash back into Hazumu and they'll re-create him as a boy and the show will essentially start from zero again.
Yasuna seems to be in the lead, but at the end of Episode 11, it seemed like she was off to do something. Maybe bring them all together (all three). Maybe not. From the looks for Ep. 11, Yasuna seems incapable of sharing Hazumu with Tomari, but then, that was all from a misunderstanding, so...

3 Lesbians accepting one another and live happily ever after. I just don't see any other way to end it without spoiling the series. The earlier spisodes are about accepting Hazumu as a female and about Tomari and Yasuna overcoming their mutual animosity. If they stretch the anime series any longer it'll become a drag.
Maybe due to some alien experimental quirks, Hazumu can turn back into a boy temporarily sometimes. Something like Ranma. Then for the first time, Tomari and Yasuna can love Hazumu as a male: Tomari does so with her love since childhood, Yasuna does so with her love since the first sight.
Love Begins At Last... Finally.
Great material for 'Futanari' hentai doujinshi.

How about ... 3 *people* accepting one another and living happily (especially since one of them has the unusual status of having memories of being male). The story isn't about orientation so much as people. Yasuna can't see males (even her father) but can see Hazumu whether as male or female ... Tomari just kind of expected to marry a guy (hopefully Hazumu) and has to adjust to the idea that expectation is going to have to curve if she really desires Hazumu.
Asuta had to come to terms with his buddy suddenly being "gone" and replaced with an attractive girl who had his buddy's memories. That could have been very interesting (too bad the anime dropkicked it early).

well what can i say? i still haven't seen all of this anime yet but if he didn't return back to his real body than that would kinda ruin things for me. that would totally make it seems like this is a lesbian anime especially with that girly attitude of his.
but my question is, before i continue watching the anime i like to know, did he go back to his original form?

And personally, it's all the same to me if he did or did not. I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with two girls loving each other, which is why I'm glad this show treats gender roles so indifferently, putting love before anything else.

The show scores points for exploring the idea of how people relate to each other - what combination of physicality, emotions, and intellect is involved. If your best *guy* friend became a girl (down to her DNA), would you have a problem carrying the relationship further and why? That's the dilemma that Tomari and Asuta face.
Unfortunately, the series trips up or falls flat in a few aspects but the "what if" psychological scenario is still very interesting.

OK, so I've seen the entire series plus the OVA. But what struck me, particularly with the events in the OVA, was that perhaps Hazumu did not choose Yasuna really out of "love" per se, but out of "pity"? I mean, even Yasuna admitted her selfishness because of her condition, that she had to rely too much on Hazumu, who in turn was too kind to leave a helpless Yasuna on her own and go to the one who truly understands her (Tomari). Which is what exactly happened!
And weren't they setting this up even in Episode 12 as they ended with Yasuna and Hazumu saying..."You know..." ?

If you want to look even further back, consider that even in the infamous Yasuna classroom kiss scene, Hazumu's comment was "I have to accept this, because she's been so hurt..." This is basically the same as what contributed to his choice in episode 11/12. That isn't to say that she didn't love Yasuna, but her cirumstances definitely tipped the scales in her favour in Hazumu's mind. But rightfully, the show resolved the inbalance by showing that Hazumu's love gave both Yasuna and Tomari the strength to move on, and that's true to the entire show's larger theme about love. So, yeah -- the whole show was definitely setup to be this way. It was hinted in episode 12, but was actually part of the framework all along.

Holy necrobump, Batman! ;D But I wanted to make some comments having just watched the OVA as well. Overall I thought Kashimashi was what I put in the "enjoyable" category. It's not great, and it's not awful, but it was worth 1 watch through.
My biggest disappointment I guess is just that I was hoping for something a bit deeper, instead it was fairly lighthearted and avoided some things that would have been interesting to explore. I don't know how much you can hold that against the series, but *shrug* On the plus side to that -- they get kudos for Hazumu not pulling some of the cliche scenarios that usually happen.
As for the characters:
Of course the humor in Hazumu is that she just sorta completely falls into the new role without barely losing a step. Kinda like "well I'm a girl now, gotta play the part" .... granted they make excessive strides in Ep1 to show that Hazumu is really really girly to begin with.
Ayuki on one hand is a very good friend ... she's always around to lend a hand, or a shoulder to cry on. But what really disappointed me was that her character is never developed. She just has a very small token amount of development in that 1 episode that just basically explains why they won't really make her part of the story. "My name is Ayuki, I tend bar, and I listen." =D (points if you get the joke)
Yasuna ... annoys me. At some points I just want to slap her for being a selfish bitch, and then others you feel sorry for her situation and can see why she may have acted that way. After refusing Hazumu initially, then she comes back right away after Hazumu is a girl... She should have come clean about her problems right away.
Then at the end you have the very convenient "cure" to her condition which leads to her dumping Hazumu again. I guess I sorta agree with her reasons behind it as well, but she still comes across very selfish in immediately refusing Hazumu after she cures her. Plus points from the POV that she didn't lead Hazumu on then dump her later.
The OVA I consider semi-canon. Some stuff obviously happens that helps to seal up the plot nicely. Namely solving the love triangle far better than I thought they would be able to. The whole Xmas stuff and the "marriage ceremony" was pure pandering, but it was fun at least. Some characters act fairly out of character in parts, especially Sora-sensei suddenly coming back to Namiko and kissing her at the end ... did he cure his species then? They never really resolve that ... he just sees that Hazumu magically cures her by saying she chooses her, then takes off. Granted the motives behind choosing Yasuna are very suspect due to the illness.
I'm rambling now, but the one thing I find really funny about this whole thing is, they have all that fantastic technology and they have males/females -- yet they could only bring Hazumu back as a girl? =D

I tend to agree with most of the stuff you mentioned (except that I liked Yasuna). I thought the OVA sucked completely, but it did serve its purpose of resolving the story, which was extremely necessary after that 'WTF ambiguous' ending of episode 12.
The essential bits of Ayuki's character could have easily been rolled into another character's personality (maybe Sora-sensei's), and Namiko was just plain useless and annoying. I found Yasuna's yurivision a bit silly at first, as I thought it was just an excuse to get the good girl-on-girl fun rolling quick, but I liked the way they brought it around in the end.
I think the quickest way to sum up the series would be to say that if the whole series felt like the last three or four episodes, we'd have had a serious winner. The "humor" was quite intrusive at times, and characters seem to be suffering from Alzheimer's a little too much (I'm looking at you, Asuta) during the more lighthearted moments, but I was quite impressed once it kicked into drama mode. I saw a good number of love triangles when I was growing up (read: over the last five or six years ), and was even on the losing end of one, and I believed every bit of the way the whole thing played out here. For anyone who has been fortunate enough to not get themselves mixed up in this kind of thing, I can say that the way it happens in Kashimashi is very much how it happens in reality - especially when you're dealing with indecisive people like Hazumu. This is why I watched it, and I was not disappointed in this regard. I just think some of the other stuff could have been done better. I would have especially liked more development on Asuta beyond what we got at the beach (good stuff) and 'OMG my friend is teh hawt!!1,' but apparently there's a manga around somewhere, so maybe I'll have a look at that.

Well I don't hate Yasuna, but you have to agree that from a certain angle she comes off as just using people for her own needs then setting them aside when she no longer has a use for them. Not in a meanspirited way, but it happens nonetheless.
My big gripe with the "cure" (only reinforced in the OVA) is that it's all too convenient, and not very realistic even from within the show's level of reality. Okay so she's miraculously cured after Hazumu chooses her. Then she immediately says thats great, but I need to find my own way. What if Hazumu then said something after that to hurt her feelings again? Or anyone else for that matter? She could easily regress again IMHO. Yet somehow this 1 moment with Hazumu has had her see the light and she will never have problems with it ever again... right...
Kashimashi falls into the trap of adding cliche humor and throwaway characters/scenarios to raise viewership via pandering. The sad thing is they are probably right -- the amount of fans added thru pandering is a lot of times more than they would get by just having a good story. I've sadly seen fanservice pandering ruin a lot of otherwise good animes in the last few years =\

This whole post is a spoiler, but as no one else is using tags, I won't either.
Well, I read wikipedia before watching this series, and it said that up till episode 9 it followed the manga very closely and after that it diverged. And watching the series, you can actually feel the break away from the manga. Right about where the break is, all the carefully built up relationships just fall to shit.
Personally, with the anime, I would have prefered they ended it at episode 12 just before the ending where Yasuna decides to walk her own path again. It just took away from the power of Hazuma finally making a choice, to have the girl say, "Thanks for choosing me, and thanks for curing me, but go ahead and do your thing with the other girl now."
Also, I think the ending in the OAV was a little.... off. Hazuma running back to Tomari saying she wanted to be by her side now was almost a little cold after rejecting her (Tomari even says as much), and I'm surprised Tomari went along with it. With as bruised as their relationship was, I would have expected them to have to rebuild it over many months, but I guess they'd have needed another season for that and they only had 30 minutes.
Anyways, they had to do with 4 episodes, what the manga is gunna do with who knows how many volumes, so I can't blame them for rushing things here and there. Overall, I'm looking forward to buying the manga to get the 'real' ending. I hope Hazuma ends up with Tomari in the end as that's who I believe should end up together in the end (which means I'm happy with the ending of the OAV but not the execution). I just can't feel empathy for Yasuna. If it wasn't for the whole "can't see people" thing, I probably wouldn't care for her as a character at all.

One of the Unlost
I'm kind of hoping Hazumu gets over both of these girls and after a few more months of being a girl herself realizes what a nice guy Asuta is. The Anime really only covers the first couple of months in this new girl's life. He didn't show homosexual tendencies before the transformation, why should she do so once Yasuna has dumped her again and Tomari's too pissed to care.
Heck, Hazumu probably hasn't had time to truly feel like a woman yet anyway. When that day arrives I hope she'll find comfort in Asuta's waiting arms. The guy deserves it after all the drop kicks he's taken from Tomari and we know he's interested.

Also, in order for Hazuma to get over both of the girls, she'd kinda have to dump Tomari. After the emotional rollercoaster she put tomari through, if Hazuma pulled a stunt like that, that'd be it for their relationship, period. Hazuma is damn lucky enough as it is that Tomari put up with being her second choice.

The beginning episodes seemed a bit strange/off to me, but once it got going after episode 6 or so I really fell in love. Ive not felt this way about an anime in a LONG time. Loved it

I don't know, really Cypha and the Hückebein seem to be use to get away with their plans… most of the time. They kill people, attack TSAB officers, kidnap Thoma and in the end the only thing that prevents them from whining is themselves. They let go Thoma, didn't send reinforcements for Cypha when she was fighting the Grendel and for some reason didn't use Fortis to stop the alarms when then break in to Hardis prison even when we already see the guy did that when they attack Vandin.

And so far while her level of skill is still debatable (Cypha gloats about how great of a fighter she is but so far the only thing i had seen her doing is exploiting the brokeness of her powerset again and again contrary to Curren and Veyron who have displayed an awesome level of skill on their fights xDU), Cypha manages to remain a threat during most of the story, she manages to stall Fate who is the S6 mage with the best upgrade and a stronger fighter than Signum, fights alone against Mount Everest scoring some decent hits and beats the living daylights out of Quinn who has previously shown to be able to wipe out the Forwards/P-Team almost all by herself.
She achieved all of that trough skill? Don't think so (Fate manages to score a good number of cuts on Cypha's skin, Moun Everest was an inert mass of ice and she exploited her super toughness and knowledge of EC-energy to deal with Quinn's abilties ...oh yeah and received some bad cuts from an injured knight going trough medical treatement xDU). But it doesn't matter since she's strong enough to beat people trough raw power alone.
The irony is that Cypha indeed jobbed for Signum more or less in-universe which was revealed on Ch. 25 during her chat with Sonica xD

It could be, uh, a trap? Since they know he's related to the Huckebein in some way, and they'd be far less likely to attack a fortified location. The guards not being prepared is to make them think their presence is unexpected.
Hayate is supposed to be smart, so for once she's showing it. Simple enough.

If it was a trap is sure doesn't look like one, sending just 3 agents, not having any kind of cameras and Hardis revealing all his superpowers… Doesn't feel like it. Could be one, and point if they really think that far but without evidence the theory has many holes and the worse being the stupidity the TSAB seems to show from time to time.

Actually yes, so far she doesn't seem to be particularly smart. Not anyone on the SD6 seems to be a genius of any kind. I mean they are not idiots, most of them, and they are experts on their fields but nobody seems to be good when it comes down to use the brain instead of muscles, at least not in a way I can say is impressive.

This has nothing to do with Hayate`s smart.
I just don`t see why someone would say this fight between Curren and Hardis was a trap set by Hayate...
Explain it to me, please !
If anything, it`s thanks to Hardis that Fate actually got there in time since he was the one who made the hole in which they entered and stalled Curren by talking to her since she was leaving.
Maybe, it`s more Hardis trap.

It'll probably make more sense when it becomes translated. And it's the only reason I can think of for him being in the middle of nowhere when they have a base right there to use.
Maybe Hardis realized it and decided to play along? The Hucks are a problem for him too, so that's fair enough.

Leading Fellow Siblings
It's always a strange feeling when someone asks you to lead a group you've never been a part of before. It's an honor and a challenge, both. I'm nervous at the prospect, but even expressing this fear in writing helps me to dissipate it, and to prepare.
What's going on? This weekend, I'm planning to attend a Family Support Day hosted by the Lollipop Kids Foundation, a non-profit based in the DC Metro area, which "exists to combat social stigmas, ease the financial burden placed on [families], offer emotional support, and provide brief respite so that every child with a disability has access to a hope and a future." At this particular Family Support Day, I've agreed to meet with and lead a group of fellow siblings in discussion and reflection. We'll share stories and (hopefully) build bonds with one another.
I don't have a precise plan in place for our time, but I envision creating a space safe for sibling reflection and connection. We'll speak, be silent, draw, and write letters to our sibs—which, I suspect, will become love letters. I'll plan to share relevant stories from my book, and also listen closely to the treasure-troves that others have within them.
Though I've certainly experienced the power of sibling support in my own life, there's a part of me that always hesitates before meeting fellow siblings (and especially so when I'll be the one leading this particular group). I wonder: Will we be able to translate our specific experiences into something the rest of the group will understand? Will we be able to empathize with one another, and offer encouragement and hope? I have to believe that we will.
Personal as our family relationships are, I believe that we can find common ground if we're looking for it. As special-needs siblings, we've all had crash-courses in paying attention, listening, and connecting with someone with a highly individualized communication style. Siblings face unique challenges, yes, but we also receive amazing gifts, if we so choose. Siblings know the pain of feeling excluded from "normal" … and we know the joy of being included in something better.
For my part, I've found that fellow special-needs siblings tend to be a remarkably open group. The reason is no secret: Our siblings teach us not to make assumptions, to be open to possibility. Furthermore, our siblings are our best instructors in the art of flexibility and patience. As someone who has struggled with perfectionism, I appreciate how my brother Willie has taught me about the power of play and the significance of happiness.
And even though I have a highly verbal, hilarious, and capable brother, I've also experienced the intense difficulty of behavioral struggles, self-injury, and violence. This being the case, I can relate to siblings whose brother or sister may simply seem "different" from others, as well as to siblings whose brother or sister needs intense levels of support and behavioral intervention.
In short, being Willie's sister has helped me to appreciate the good stuff and let the rest go. And that is what I'll take with me into this event. Whether our group is a "success" or not, what matters is our willingness to show up, to acknowledge that we have something to offer one another.
In a sense, we special-needs siblings are brothers and sisters to one another as well. We're a part of an ever-growing family, standing in friendship and solidarity, empowered to see past appearances. And when we're willing to make an honest attempt to be present to one another's lives and stories, the possibilities are boundless.

- Boxing is a passion in Cuba, rivaling baseball as the country's national sport
- Professional sport is outlawed in Cuba, but the country still produces world-class boxers
- Cuban heavyweight Teofilo Stevenson won three golds between 1972 and 1980
- The men's boxing event at London 2012 begins at London's Excel center on July 28
Havana, Cuba (CNN) -- The stands around the boxing ring were mostly empty and the bout was a mere three-round exhibition fight, but Dlandy Regalado Ajete battled as if a title was on the line.
"If you want to be a great boxer in Cuba," he said, moments after being declared the winner, "you have to be willing to work hard and sacrifice."
Regalado's drive isn't unique for Cuba. Boxing, along with baseball, is a passion that runs deep for many of the island's 11 million inhabitants.
And despite Cuba's small population, the country has been a consistent force to be reckoned with at the Olympic Games, winning 32 gold medals in the sport.
Three of those golds went to Cuban boxing legend Teofilo Stevenson. Now 60 years old, Stevenson has lost the quickness in his step and he carries the scars of years of battle in the ring.
But his eyes still light up when he discusses the sport that made him a household name around the world.
"Cubans like to box because of our temperament," Stevenson said, with a smile creeping across his lips. "Because of our idiosyncrasies and because we have needed to know how to defend ourselves."
After the 1950s Cuban revolution, boxing was briefly banned by the country's new leaders. But then -- like all sports-- it fell under the control of the government. Today that remains the case as there are no professional sports in Cuba.
In the 1960s, boxing trainers -- many of them Soviet -- were brought into work with fledgling talent such as Stevenson.
Cuban boxers' amateur status let them compete in the Olympics, but not on the high profile --and high paying -- professional fight circuit. Stevenson famously turned a million-dollar offer to fight Muhammad Ali.
Other Cuban fighters have chosen a different path, defecting and earning the huge purses not available to them in their home country.
Despite those losses, Cuba's boxing commissioner Alberto Puig says there is a deep talent pool to draw from.
"Our strength comes from the heart, from patriotism," he said. "Our boxers may not have a million dollars but they have 11 million Cubans who support them."
Puig said despite the country's legacy of great boxers, he expected countries like Russia, Kazakhstan and Ukraine to provide strong competition at the 2012 Olympics in London.
He believes Cuba's advantage comes from the government's ability to identify and cultivate emerging talent at a young age.
"We can say with total certainty that in the farthest corner of Cuba if there's a talented boxer we know about him and are following his progress," he said. "So that maybe one day he might join our national team."
Alberto Puig
The Rafael Trejo boxing gym in Havana is one of the places where young boxers receive that encouragement from a young age. The students receive lessons as early as eight years old in the gym's open-air ring.
While the facilities are threadbare, the instruction they receive is world class.
Two-time Olympic gold medal winner Hector Vinent Charon runs the gym, teaching the children how to throw and take a punch.
"What makes Cubans different is the intelligence that we fight with," he said, "Our aggression, our tactics and the way we move."
Vinent said most of the children at the Trejo are boxing as an after-school activity. They will pick up the basics of boxing and confidence while never achieving greatness in the ring.
Boxing teaches them skills, he said, they can use in their everyday life.
"We teach them the elements of boxing but also patriotism," he said. "How you act in the classroom or on the street. It's not just boxing."
Vinent is looking for young fighters with drive and something to prove.
Because there among the gangly youths bobbing and weaving in his classes, Vinent said, could very well be Cuba's next champion of the ring.

One of the more frequently asked question by clients that I get is about kitchen remodeling. As with all interior design, in 10 years time, a kitchen can become dated. Clients are forever wondering what countertop will look best and untrendy for the next decade or two. The answer is truly – none. Everything dates, especially countertops. I suppose that classic black granite or white marble is perhaps the least trendy, except both, especially the white marble, are so in right now that the years 2000-2010 may always be associated with these gorgeous materials. Many people are faced with a kitchen that needs updating – yet they don't want to tear out all their cabinets and start over from scratch. They want a small update, something to take their kitchen out of the 80s or the 90s: think light oak stained cabinets that seemed to be in every kitchen in the 90s. I myself was one of these people.
My Kitchen Before: taupe and white checkerboard tiles that used to go with the cafe-au-lait wall color, until I had the house painted a soft yellow. Brass plumbing no longer went with the new hardware I had put in the house. The entire space was tired, outdated and a total mess.
When my kitchen was 15 years old, I was so tired of it, I wanted to rip it all out and start over. Yet, like so many of my clients, I didn't want to spend the money on a new kitchen with all the bells and whistles. Plus, since I don't really cook, I was aiming for an update for appearances sake only. Still, I could not look at those taupe and white checkerboard tiles another day. Having a combination of black and white appliances didn't help things either. For a relatively small amount of money, I ended up with a redone kitchen that brought it into this century.
AFTER: The biggest change was the white marble countertops and backsplash, new stainless appliances, the new casement window and the Shaw's sink and faucet in polished nickel. I've joked that I love my sink so much, I would marry it if Ben and I ever divorced. Seriously – it's more than fabulous, as sinks go. I painted the cabinets a light gray and called it a day. Of course, I knew all along the yellow paint had to go, but it took me another year to settle on a gray that was warm enough to blend with other parts of my downstairs decor. The bathrooms all could use the same updating as the kitchen, but my pocketbook (or Ben's I should say) is waiting for the economy to pick up a little before I tackle that issue.
AFTER AFTER: I finally got around to repainting the walls downstairs – 15 paint samples later, I decided on a color that turned out to be same color as my existing trim. Go figure. Pratt and Lambert – Feathered Gray.
The sink is long and deep – you can hide so much in there. The day I took this picture it was filled with lunch dishes – yet you can barely see just one dish peeking out!
I bought all the appliances online from Best Buy – and sprang for the least expensive ones I could find – as long as the handle was good looking. That was my criteria – good looking handles.
After painting, I updated the bakers rack some – adding new white washed baskets and moving my cloches there. I also got rid of all my French yellow ware that I had collected for years, opting now for only white ironstone in the kitchen.
A few months after I showed my kitchen redo on the blog HERE, a reader sent me pictures of her kitchen. She was just about to embark on her own kitchen remodeling – using a lot of the same elements I had. She told me that when her redo was complete, she'd send new pictures of it. Look at the reader's kitchen before:
READER'S KITCHEN BEFORE: When I got these pictures, I remember writing her and saying – these are before pictures?????? Actually, I liked her kitchen the way it was. I liked the toile wallpaper, the black countertops, the windows, and the breakfast area.
Sorry for the out of focus – I didn't take these pictures!
And her cute eat-in table. The problem with this reader's kitchen was more than surface. She had very little counter space and the table took up valuable room in the small kitchen.
The final reveal - as opposed to my remodel, this reader went all the way with new cabinets and flooring. As you can see, she replaced the table with an island – thus increasing her working space dramatically. Her kitchen does remind me of mine in so many ways. Like me, she got a Shaw's sink, the same faucet, and almost identical hardware. The white marble is very similar – hers is Carrera and mine is Calacutta Ora. Along with the new cabinets, she got new stainless appliances, although her refrigerator is white to blend in with the cabinetry. I love the way the sink cabinet has legs!
In this picture, you can really see how much extra counter space she gained from adding an island, rather than keeping the table.
Meals are eaten here at the island. (New fabric is coming for the bar stools!)
Instead of the range, she added a cooktop with a trendy hood. I wish I had this myself – I don't care for my cooktop being on my island.
I love the marble backsplash – instead of tiles. White marble is so beautiful – why not use as much of it as you can?
Along the back wall where it once was all cabinets, double ovens were added.
And, finally, next to the double ovens, glass doors and a marble counter were added to break up the bank of cabinets that was previously there. I think this reader did a great job with her kitchen. While she did a much more extensive redo than I did – she stayed within the footprint of her space – choosing to keep the room the same size. Unlike me, she needed more counter space and greater efficiency – so new cabinets were needed which added to her price tag. Still, I was struck at how similar our kitchens looked, which really wasn't an accident – the reader told me she chose many of the same elements I did after seeing my redo.
Thank you so much to this reader for sending in these pictures!!! I love to see reader's houses – so keep them coming!!!
The bells and whistles: writing about kitchens got me thinking. If I did have the budget for a totally new kitchen, would I want a kitchen like this? Would I want all the extras and the luxury? Do I like banks and banks of closed cabinetry? What is my dream kitchen? What is your dream kitchen? I suppose if you are a chef or like to spend time in the kitchen, your answer would be different than someone like me who uses the kitchen to cool diet cokes and refrigerate take out Chinese dishes.
Several Houston kitchens have spoken to me – this one is beautiful for a large budget space. I adore the limestone mantel – so French! The red lanterns and the toile fabric curtains are wonderful too. The cabinetry though is especially appealing – the curved armoire door styling, the chicken wire. This kitchen would be as fancy as I would ever want.
One of my favorite kitchens in Houston is Donna Brown's. Donna owns The Gray Door in Houston, one of the better antique stores here. She bought a townhouse and then ripped out the brand new kitchen. Next, she went shopping at The Gray Door and brought home her kitchen. Amazing. The sink is located in the shop cabinet behind the chair. Cages double as cabinets. I love these kind of kitchens and wish I had the huevos to do this in my house!
Another picture from Donna Brown's kitchen. Past the range, she placed a long cabinet to store dishes and silverware. The wine table doubles as a coffee and breakfast table. This space is the family room/breakfast room. The French doors lead to the landscaped terrace. Donna's entire townhouse is wonderful – she took a rather traditional townhouse and turned it into a house you might find in Paris.
The sink and refrigerator in Donna's non-kitchen kitchen.
Another fabulous non-kitchen kitchen is this one done by Pam Pierce, also from Houston. Of course it helps that the lady of the house, Ruth Gay, owns Chateau Domingue, Houston's finest architectural elements (antique and new) shop. Hard to believe this kitchen is in a once proper Houston house that Pierce and Gay have totally redone with antique architectural building elements from France and Europe. The stone walls are gorgeous!!!
I mean, look at this sink!!!! True, Gay has a traditional farm sink, but she also has this trough in her kitchen. This kitchen makes all the traditional bells and whistle cabinetry kitchens look so fuddy-duddy, imho.
Pam Pierce's own Houston kitchen is another one I lust after time and time and time again. I love the way the cabinet doors are inset into the stone countertops. So French!!! And these Houston designers would never use a regular island – their islands are ALWAYS antique – either an old butcher block (the real thing) or an old store cabinet display piece, or a tailor's table, or – well you have the idea. Their islands make their kitchens so much more interesting – adding texture and an element of surprise.
Looking from Pierce's kitchen into the breakfast room. Those shelves – could they be more perfect?????? I'm sorry, but interior design like this depresses me! Makes me feel so inadequate!!!!!
More Houston interior design, via Fredericksburg: This "kitchen" is owned by an antique dealer/real estate tycoon from Houston. Again, no built in cabinetry, instead a large antique piece holds all the dishes. The crystal chandelier mixed with the rustic stone walls and floor is a fun touch. This is Fredericksburg???
Another Houston connection via Dallas: native Houstonian Shannon Bowers' kitchen is again a non kitchen kitchen. Notice the unusual elements: her island, no upper cabinetry, open shelving, the skirt under the sink – all nontraditional choices in a kitchen. The lantern is the cherry on top. Bowers' entire house featured in Veranda is to die for.
And finally, Jane Moore's non kitchen kitchen – filled with Swedish antiques and painted consoles. Too cute! Do you think Houston designers are influencing each other? I hope so – we have such great talent in this city as you can see from their kitchens.
I'm curious. Do you prefer a large, bells and whistle kitchen, filled with closed cabinetry and the finest in appliances? Or do these Houston kitchens appeal more to you? I know that for me, seeing all these non-kitchen kitchens really makes me wish for one!

Thinking back to the eighties when the CR systems really came out in force I recall one of those rare "good moments " ( you know the ones, few and far between nowadays but when it does happen it makes it all worthwhile)
Called out to a ship with an intermittent misfire, plugged in the electronic kit, FCR it and conducted further diagnostic tests as necessary.
Threw up " no. four injector problems " and at that point nothing else showing.
Scoped the injector, Noid lights test conducted and connected up the hamster kit ( spill return test ) and observed way over 10% return both on tickover and half throttle on no four cyl.
No doubt about it at all, duff injector here. Solenoid type, ceramics not out yet, waveform patterns clearly defective.
Got to cover your ass here with this new fangled CR and leave the door open to avoid any future conflicts.
Definately Duff but as usuall don't dare say that's the end of it as for if you do you will surely get bitten in the ass here, no danger, yet another learning curve to take on board here as I have well learnt.
The injector is without doubt defective but it may well be masking further faults that will not show up until the injector has been replaced.
Soon learnt this Symptom V Cause saying in the mid eighties and some of it to my cost.
Once caught never forgotten.
Chief on this ship is one of those who thinks he is getting paid for his presence only on the ship and that does not include going down below.
Here we have a real live BC, make no mistake about that.
For the uninitiated BC= Bus Conductor, knows which buttons to press but that's as far as it goes.
When I started out it was open enginerooms, no control rooms only control platforms.
Thus the knowalls were know as the " Bus Conductors " for obvious reasons.
Control room dweller in full uniform kit and no further.
Plus just to make things more interesting he is University Educated Chief and knows it all.
I personally thought his only encounter with the tools was at university in the lab/ workshop and he had never pulled a liner, had inaccessible sheared off broken bolts to drill and tap out nor even been inside a crankcase of an engine who had only just been stopped.
As I came up the hard way and did not find all those quadratic equations and calculus and third angle projection a natural take on board subject this man represented everything I loathed as basically although he had the tickets he was not like me who struggled with a lot of the theoretical side of thinks ( unlike the practical side which I took to straight away )
The five year apprenticeship learnings were somehow to be applied here but how?
No, I don't mean the engineering side here but the five year " wind ups/setups/ being set up for the big one, being set up for a big " fall " learnings came to my thought fore front as I had had a very good training in this important side of life and as such had been subject to many, many " set ups" and as such still remain on guard to these situations all these years later.
Like the Quadratic equations the key to it all was learning how to recognise the correct formulae to apply to what was presented in front of you wind up wise.
Anyway back to this University Chief who behind his back was known as " Boy "
Hated by the crew here was an opportunity to go straight to the top of the admiration tree but how?
He was in charge and everyone had to suffer big time.
Rather than come looksee at the job I was summoned to his office and made to wait in the corridor for some twenty minutes plus.
Reminded me of the old headmasters trick of being summoned to his office and in order to crank the handle and wind up the atmosphere of about what was to happen you would deliberately be kept waiting such was the importance of the mission.
I and my colleague were eventually granted permission to see the chief and I duly explained that no four injector was defective but that was not necessarily the end of the problem.
Much awkward discussions ensued whereby he wanted to be assured that this replacement injector was to be the end of all but I had already learnt to my cost at that stage that only a fool would grant that assurance as you could end up with egg on your face and be expected to refund perhaps some of your labour costs incurred to date.
After maybe half an hour plus I presented him with the scope and the injector testing printouts ( allways but allways do this again to cover your ass as this is not at all like the old days here ) and proceeded to explain it all.
Like a lot of these University boys I don't think he knew what he was looking at but I did make the remark " you do know what I mean when I refer to injector no. four?
It was at this point when we were almost thrown out of his office over my last remark by asking him what I meant by no four.
However there was a particular reason for me banging on about Cyl four.
We left the ship after being told he knew ( of course ) that it was an injector gone down but didn't know which one and had the owners had the foresight to carry diagnostic equipment onboard then people like us would not be necessary as he was well up on diagnostics as the University boys had been taught it all.
No, it would not be necessary for us to return to the ship to fit the new injector and see the job through.
Some new injectors have to be programmed to the ECU but as he obviously knew it all I declined to tell him so and so we left the ship.
The five year apprenticeship learnings were at the forefront of my brain for the next three days and I was delighted to receive an irate tel. call from him telling me my diagnosis was incorrect and that we would not be getting paid for the time we had spent on the ship.
We were instructed to attend the ship immediatly which next day we duly did.
Taken by the first down below we were shown that no four injector had indeed been replaced and the intermittent miss was still present.
It was at this point I knew ( drawing on my past training, no not the engineering side the windup/setup side ) that handled right this was to be a major COUP for me but also I realised that there could also be a major explosion taking place.
This was one that had to be handled 100% correct else repercussions would surely follow, no danger.
Talking to the first and observing which injector ( no four ) I soon realised exactly what had gone wrong here and explained to him the reason why and it became apparent that because of the way the Chief was he did not wish to be the one who had to explain it all to him.
As such this honour befell to me and drawing on my so far experiences doing this sort of thing I took great delight in informing him in front of witnesses what had happened here.
So what had happened here? What had gone wrong? Who, if any had dropped the bollock? What was the answer?
Come on you CR devotees/converters ( like me )
It's not a trick question but a fact learnt in the first early stages of CR involvement?

You can never ever have enough switches. This one is economical compared to the more enclosed ones but we have found it just if not more so durable for much less money. I just added 8 more and love them.
Dennis Z from Washington
Ordered three of these switches for locations in electric fence lines. Simple but strong design. Prompt shipment.Link to YouTube movie of one of them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRFQ1PAlKQM
Walter R from CT
Perfect switch. Works great!
Gail S
We have 3 different types of cut-out switches, and this one is the simplest to install. The open knife design keeps insects from gumming up and shorting out the switch. The oldest switch was installed in 2006, and is trouble free.

I have the menu bar set at "%page-center" and the container centers nicely.
However, because there are enough pages for it to wrap to a second line, I'm finding the second line doesn't center at all.
See http://www.ambrosearts.ca/achievements/
How can I get the second line to be centered as well please?

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - The 22nd-ranked Coe College football team scored the first 42 points of the game Saturday, as they rolled to a 42-7 victory over Cornell. It was the 14th-straight win for Coe in the oldest football rivalry West of the Mississippi River.
Cornell went 66 yards on the opening drive of the game, but seniorAntoine Allen-Jackson (Aurora, Ill./Oswego East) intercepted Ram Quarterback Juan Flores in the end zone. Coe moved the ball to the Ram 21-yard line, but Wes Anderson's 39-yard field goal attempt sailed wide left. After a three-and-out from the Kohawk defense, Coe once again moved to the Ram 22-yard line. Anderson's second 39-yard attempt went left as well.
The Rams had the ball at their own 40-yard line when Flores was hit by junior Gaetano Tarantino (Vallejo, Calif./St. Patrick-St. Vincent) after an eight-yard gain. The ball popped loose, with senior Jordan Atwater (Cedar Rapids, Iowa/Linn-Mar) recovering it. Coe wasn't able to capitalize, as both teams exchanged punts to start the second quarter.
On Coe's second drive of the second quarter,senior Gage Mohs (Fredericksburg, Iowa/Sumner-Fredericksburg) plunged in from five-yards out, capping a seven-play, 42 yard drive for the Kohawks, giving Coe a 7-0 lead with 8:27 to play in the first half.
Following another Ram punt, Coe moved the ball to the Ram 10-yard line. Mohs was hit in the backfield, fumbling the ball. On the next play, Cornell fumbled with senior Mitch Montgomery (Lisbon, Iowa/Lisbon) recovering at the eight-yard line. Three plays later, sophomore Josh Rekers (Dike, Iowa/Dike-New Hartford), making his first career start at quarterback, plunged in from a yard out with 3:29 to play in the half, giving Coe a 14-0 lead.
Coe punted on the opening drive of the second half, but the defense put on a show on the next drive. After back-to-back rushes of seven-yards by Ethan Thompson of Cornell, Flores was intercepted by Allen-Jackson for the second time. This time, Allen-Jackson housed it from 68-yards out, dodging numerous defenders along the way. It was his first career touchdown.
After three-straight punts by both teams, Coe took over with 6:12 to play in the third quarter at its own 29-yard line. On the second play of the drive, Rekers found junior Dominik Lensing (Calmar, Iowa/South Winneshiek) for a 68-yard touchdown, the first passing touchdown of his career. On the Rams final drive of the third quarter, Flores was intercepted by Allen-Jackson once again, this time coming at the Kohawk three-yard line.
On the opening drive of the fourth quarter, Coe put together a 10-play, 86 yard drive, as Rekers found juniorAlex Christenson (Oskaloosa, Iowa/Oskaloosa) for a 43-yard touchdown with 9:40 to play. After three-straight punts, the Kohawks took over with 4:43 to play. Facing third-and-six, senior Tyler Sylvester (Elkader, Iowa/Central Elkader) found sophomore Trevor Heitland (Cedar Rapids, Iowa/Kennedy) on a screen pass for a 41-yard touchdown pass, giving Coe a 42-0 lead with 2:24 to play.
Cornell put together a seven-play, 77 yard drive in 1:57, scoring on a 22-yard touchdown run by Hayden Howard on fourth-and-one with :20 to play. The Kohawks were looking for the first shutout in the rivalry since Coe beat Cornell 35-0 in 1989.
With their 14th-straight win in the series, the Kohawks improve their lead in the all-time series to 69-50-4. Coe has now scored 34 or more points in six-straight games in the series. Cornell held a 173-111 advantage in rushing yards, while Coe had a 342-114 advantage through the air.
Mohs finished with a game-high 19 carries for 71 yards, including a score. Senior Carvin Thompson (Dallas, Texas/Life Charter) rushed nine times for 35 yards.
Rekers finished 20-of-28 passing for 301 yards, the 30th 300-yard performance in school history. He also threw for two touchdowns. Senior Keaton Juergens (Elkader, Iowa/Central Elkader) had a career-high nine receptions for 112 yards.

Welcome to Project Car Hell, where you choose your eternity by selecting the project that's the coolest... and the most hellish! In our last plunge into the Lake Of Fire, we saw the Alpine A310 stomp the Matra Murena like Napoleon pulverizing the Russians in the Battle of Austerlitz, with a decisive 70-30 split in the poll. Today we're going to go from PCH Édition Débâcle to something a little closer to home: Lowrider Project Hell!
First, let's have the anthem!
Before you go lining up your airbrush artist and gold-plating shop, you need to get a starting point. Since we're going old-school traditional here, the obvious choice would have to be the '64 Chevy Impala coupe. Now, you could find yourself a nice original '64, but have you priced them lately? You won't be able to afford that huge mural depicting La Noche Triste across the hood if you blow your entire roll on Day One, and it's simply unacceptable to get a four-door or even a Biscayne. We've got the solution, though, and a fine one at that: This 1964 Impala Two-Door (go here if the ad disappears) has a totally reasonable price tag of only $1,800. There's rust, the engine and glass are missing, but the seller has "ALL THE DOORS AND FENDERS AND HOOD and trunk WHICH ARE SRAIGHT," plus "95%" of the trim. The seller really does want to sell the car, not like those other guys who spam their basket-case Impalas on Craigslist because they "just want the world to know that they own a Impala." The drivetrain will be easy and cheap, which means you'll have plenty of time and money left to take on... everything else!
Come on, doing a '64 Impala lowrider is like building yet another big-block '69 Camaro- sure, you'll love it... but you'll just be one of a very large crowd. How about going with an for an earlier era for your classic lowrider? Something just as iconic, but that would turn heads on Whittier Boulevard in 1955 just as readily as today? We're going back into time, back to a topsy-turvy world in which you could utter "Mercury" and "cool" in the same sentence and not have everyone avoid eye contact with you. Yes, 1949, when these three '49 Mercury coupes (go here if the ad disappears) were made! The seller claims one of the three is "THE BEST ONE" (though it's unclear how that was determined) and he or she "WOULD SELL ONE OR ALL." As an added bonus, the cars are located in the Flaming Lips' hometown of Norman, Oklahoma, which means you'll be humming "One Million Billionth of a Millisecond on a Sunday Morning" every time you look at your new project! It's not clear how many cars you get for $3,950, nor is it clear whether you get any drivetrain or interior components. Take heart, though, because you can see at least two unbroken pieces of glass in the photos! Once you've made one solid '49- hey, with three cars you've got a real shot- you can get started on applying many, many coats of hand-rubbed lacquer paint, put together a rumbly flathead engine, etc.

I've been wanting to make my own lip balm for a really long time. I've spent lots of time looking at various recipes and researching all the ingredients before I finally took the plunge and decided to do the legwork to come up with the most wonderful, luscious lip balm recipe ever! Lucky for you, I write a blog and you get to reap the moisturizing lip benefits! The other awesome thing is that I have a super awesome new sponsor, SKS Bottle, (you remember them from my apothecary spice jar project) who sent me these awesome lip balm tubes! I couldn't resist.
When it comes to lip balm, the sky is the limit when it comes to ingredient variations. There are so many wonderful natural ingredients that you can mix and match to come up with the best recipe for you. I recommend playing around and seeing what works for you. The following is just one of many lip balm recipes I will be posting in the coming weeks and months.
Before you continue, are you thinking "ain't nobody got time to make lip balm!" Word. That's why I started making it FOR you. Check it out in my Etsy shop!
I give you Homemaker Chic's "Citrus Splash SPF Lip Balm "
Now, this may seem like a lot of ingredients, but there are so many different variations you can do with just a few small tweaks. I ordered all of the ingredients I needed in one day, online, from my living room. And most of it was free shipping. All in all, I spent about $100 for everything (That includes some other ingredients not included in this recipe, for different flavored lip balms). It may sound like a lot for lip balm but everything came in large enough quantities that I will have enough to make lip balm for my sisters, my mom, my friends and myself for a very VERY long time. PLUS- many of these ingredients are excellent for other skin preparations other than lip balm and are very handy to have around the house. It is an investment, and a project, but if you want to do this, you really need to have all the best ingredients. If it seems like too much for you, then buy my ready made lip balm from my etsy shop (the recipe has improved and so has my packaging!) I will tell you though, that this is the most luxurious, smooth, and moisturizing lip balm I've ever tried. It smells and tastes amazing and you will LOVE it! I won't ever go back to store bought again.
- 12 lip balm tubes
- 1 lip balm filling tray
- Plastic putty knife
Lucky for you SKS Bottle has an awesome deal for Homemaker Chic readers! You can get the exact lip balms tubes, filling tray and putty knife that I used, and actually a few other tube designs for a big discount! They're giving my readers $10 off an order of $50. They also have lots of other containers that I'm going to be using in some upcoming posts so you can spend $50 real quick. Just use the code HomeChic413 at checkout (or click the image below). I love their site!!
- 1 ounce measuring shot glass
- Eye dropper for oils (I found mine at PetSmart)
- Double boiler
- Small spatula
- Glass pyrex cup with pour spout
- 1 oz white beeswax pellets
- 1/3 oz Mango Butter
- 1/3 oz Solid Room Temperature Coconut Oil
- 1/3 oz Orange Butter
- 1/4 oz Avocado Oil
- 1/4 oz Olive Oil
- 1/2 ox Cold Pressed Castor Oil
- 15 drops grapefruit essential oil
- 15 drops raspberry seed oil
- 5 drops vitamin E oil
- 1/16 of a teaspoon of Mica Shimmer Powder (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Stevia or other sweetener
- Small sliver of lipstick for color (optional)
Okay so here is the basic ratio for Lip Balm:
1 Part Beeswax : 1 Part Solid Oil or Fruit/Vegetable Butter : 1 Part Liquid Oil.
You can really play around with the oils. You could use one type of oil, or make a blend like I did.
Let me explain a little bit about why I chose the blend that I did.
Orange butter comes specifically from Florida Oranges (of which I am a HUGE supporter since I'm from Florida!). It has wonderful moisturizing qualities, smells incredible, and gives this balm part of its wonderful citrus flavor and scent. Mango butter is light and fresh smelling and very smooth. It has great healing properties for dried, cracked lips, and peeling skin. It also has SPF natural SPF properties. Coconut Oil has amazing moisture benefits, and is well known for bringing chapped lips back to life. It has a wonderful scent that really pairs well with the tropical flavor profile in this balm.
The raspberry seed oil was added for its natural SPF benefit. It has very little scent. Several studies have show it to be anywhere from 6-20 on the SPF scale. Living in a sunny climate I really need SPF in my lip balm so this was a must. Same goes for the avocado oil, which aside from its incredible moisture and healing benefits, is also a natural SPF of 6. The vitamin E oil is excellent for healing chapped lips and protecting them, but a little goes a long way.
I added the castor oil because it adds a really nice shine to the balm, and helps maintain soft and supple lips. The olive oil was added because I needed a little bit more filler and olive oil is slightly cheaper than castor and avocado oils, but it still has tons of moisture and lip protecting benefits.
The Mica Shimmer powder is a mineral powder that is used in eye shadows and other make up to make them shimmer. The version I'm using is natural and perfectly safe to use on the lips. Make sure the Mica you get is lip safe, as some are and some aren't.
Here is the exact product I used.
This recipe fills 12 lip balm tubes plus a little leftover. About 3 ounces.
Start by snapping your tubes into the tray. I really love this lip balm filling tray from SKS-bottle because it makes filling the little tubes SO easy. I seriously can't imagine how I would have done this without the tray. I'm sure I would have been knocking them over and spilling hot lip balm everywhere. I'm sure you could DIY this by cutting holes in a cereal box, or by sticking the tubes into styrofoam to keep them still, but the thing I like about this tray is that the tubes fit perfectly and snap in firmly, so they don't fall over. Plus once the balm cools you can smooth the tops with a putty knife and you get a really professional flat top to the balm. Its really worth it if you plan to make a lot of balms.
Prepare your double boiler. I just used a small saucepan with a pyrex measuring cup. I filled the pot with water and placed metal cookie cutter in the bottom, then just set the cup on top. The cookie cutter kept the glass from directly touching the heat. You could also use a couple rings from a mason jar. Get the water simmering and pour in 1 ounce of beeswax. Use a metal spoon or knife to gently stir the wax. I like using a flexible metal spatula because it really makes it easy to scrape down the sides of the cup later on.
Once the wax is melted, add your butters. I only had one little ounce measuring cup so instead of washing it out and losing all that wonderful butter in between, I just scooped out the little bit that was in the cup and rubbed it on my skin. Its wonderfully moisturizing, and expensive too, so don't waste!
Once the butters are melted add your oils and the sweetener.
A WORD ABOUT SWEETENER: So a lot of people use stevia to sweeten their balms. I personally don't like the taste so I tried Nutresse, which is a sugar from the monk fruit. You could probably just use regular sugar, but there might be something to be said for the fine powder of stevia. Here's the thing with sweetening lip balm. SUGAR WILL NOT COMPLETELY DISSOLVE IN OIL. BUT, it will partially dissolve, and you just need a little. I stirred and stirred, and the oil was really hot, but on a molecular level, oil just doesn't have the ability to completely break down the sugars (even in liquid form like honey or liquid stevia. Liquid sweetener will separate in your finished balm.). So you will probably end up with sugar crystals in the bottom of your cup. This is okay. As you pour the finished lip balm into the tubes, the sugar will stay at the bottom. You won't end up with undissolved sugar crystals in your balm if you pour carefully. So just dissolve it as much as you can and don't worry about it.
Now you can add your coloring if you want. I added sugar blush mica powder which added a hint of color and shimmer. A little Mica goes a LONG way, so use it sparingly. You can always add more, but you can't take away. I also added a sliver of Revlon colored lip balm in a nice coral color. This really doesn't add much color to your lips but it makes the balm a little more presentable and pretty in my opinion. Just slice a bit of lipstick off, and melt it into the balm. You could totally leave this part out. I know there are some other natural ways to tint lip balm out there, I just haven't tried them yet.
Use the back of your spoon or spatula to collect a test sample. Allow it to cool. (I stuck the spatula in the freezer for a few seconds to speed up the process.) Use your finger to rub a bit on your lips to see how it feels and tastes. If its too hard, too soft, or not sweet enough you can still alter the recipe. You may find that you want a stronger grapefruit flavor, so just add a few more drops of the essential oil (although be careful not to add too much because essential oils tends to be pretty intense and can dry out lips if you add too much. just add a few drops at a time to be safe. I wouldn't add more than 30 drops to this recipe.) If its too hard, add more coconut oil. If its too soft, add more beeswax. I have tested this recipe and found it to be the perfect consistency and flavor, but you can always change it if you're looking for something different.
NOW- the pouring part is a bit tricky.
Pour quickly and carefully into each tube, filling all the way to the top. Its okay if it slightly overflows onto the tray.
The balm will cool and harden very quickly, so quickly in fact, that as you're pouring, you will notice it hardening in the glass. You will have to pour as much as you can, as quickly as you can.
Once it cools too much to pour, scrape the cup and return it to the water bath to remelt it. I had to do this twice while filling 12 tubes. After you fill the tubes, the balm will settle and you will have little pits in each tube. Refill each tube to the top again. Allow them to cool for a good 5 minutes.
Finally, scrape the putty knife firmly across the top and smooth out the surface of your balms.
Once you have smoothed the tops, let them sit for an hour or two to completely firm up before using.
If you follow the recipe correctly, you'll have a bit leftover. I remelted it and added an equal part of coconut oil to the lip balm mix, then I poured it into a little pot I had. It turns out to be a wonderful skin balm or belly butter for stretch marks! I absolutely love rubbing it on my hands. Just one example of how all these ingredients can create another awesome skin product. And its all natural!
I'll be working on some cute custom labels in the coming days so I'll hopefully be sharing a printable with you soon.
I hope this helps! This project was so much fun and the results are wonderful. I know you'll love this recipe. Happy Lip Balm making!

You know, the Celtics are keeping Al Jefferson, Pierce and Green out of any trade talks... that's why they aren't doing anything. GMs nowadays are more scared of what they may lose than what the may gain.

I'm not sure about that. Gasol is better than any of them... but both?. I think it's too much for Pau.
It would be different if it were just one of them, Tyrus Thomas and PJ Brown... That's more equal value.

On arrival they found the extension was heavily smoke logged.
Two firefighters used a hose reel jet to extinguish the blaze, which was out by 9.48am.
The crews stayed behind after the fire was out to ventilate the property and left at about 10.15am.

Gwyneth Paltrow will never forget her first meeting with personal trainer Tracy Anderson – the fitness guru made her strip off for a harsh appraisal.
Paltrow has credited the exercise expert with helping her shed the stubborn baby weight she gained while pregnant with son Moses.
But the Oscar winner admits she was taken aback by Anderson's no-nonsense methods after she made her new client bare all.
Paltrow recalls, "With my daughter it had been easier (to lose weight), but this time, no matter what I did, I felt stuck. I couldn't shift the weight. But I met Tracy and she was this force from the second I met her.
"She pulled my pants off. I'll never forget it. She was like, 'Oh, my God, wow, I just am so surprised, because you look so good in clothes. I wasn't expecting this.'"
However, Paltrow insists Anderson's regimen put the spark back into her marriage to rocker Chris Martin, telling Redbook magazine, "It did such wonders for my life, my confidence, my sex life, everything."

It's wasn't hard for "Game of Thrones" to say goodbye to several characters at Comic-Con.
The panel for the fantasy HBO series kicked off Friday with an "in memoriam" segment set to Boyz II Men's "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday."
The tribute was dedicated to the scads of characters who've bitten the dust on the show, ranging from Khal Drogo to Wine Merchant to Catelyn Stark, the character played by Michelle Fairley who died in the infamous "Red Wedding" installment.
"I knew how many years I signed for, so I knew what was coming," said Fairley at the pop-culture convention.
The vicious slayings of many Westeros residents in the third season surprised many viewers, especially the brutal "Red Wedding" episode.
"We'd been waiting for it for so long and dreading it, and having it turn out better than we expected because of these actors was one of the greatest moments of my life," series co-creator David Benioff said.
"Game of Thrones" cast members Fairley, Peter Dinklage, John Bradley, Kit Harrington, Rose Leslie, Richard Madden and Emilia Clarke joined "A Song of Fire and Ice" mastermind George R.R. Martin and series co-creators Benioff and D.B. Weiss.
Martin said he needed to get to work finishing the two upcoming novels, "The Winds of Winter" and "A Dream of Spring," because the show is catching up with source material.
The crowd inside Hall H in the San Diego Convention Center shrieked when Khal Drago actor Jason Momoa stomped on stage and planted a smooch on Clarke, who continues to play his love interest Daenerys Targaryen, the Mother of Dragons, on the show.
Momoa screamed into the microphone, "I'm not dead, George!"

Swan-Ganz catheterization is the passing of a thin tube (catheter) into the right side of the heart and the arteries leading to the lungs to monitor the hearts function and blood flow, usually in persons who are very ill.
Alternative Names
Right heart catheterization; Catheterization - right heart
How the test is performed
The test can be done while you are in bed in an intensive care unit (ICU) of a hospital or in special procedure areas such as a cardiac catheterization laboratory.
Before the test starts, you may be given a mild sedative to help you relax.
You will lie on a padded table. Your doctor will make a small surgical cut near the groin or in your neck. A flexible tube (catheter, or "sheath") is placed through the opening, into a vein. Sometimes it will be placed in your arm or wrist. You will be awake during the procedure.
A larger catheter is inserted and carefully moved into the upper chamber of the right side of the heart. X-ray images may be used to help the doctor see where the catheter should be placed.
Blood may be removed from the catheter to measure the amount of oxygen in the blood.
During the procedure, your hearts rhythm will be constantly watched using an
How to prepare for the test
You should not eat or drink anything for 8 hours before the test starts. You may need to stay in the hospital the night before the test. Otherwise, you will check in to the hospital the morning of the test.
In critically ill patients, the test may be done in the intensive care unit.
You will wear a hospital gown. You must sign a consent form before the test. Your health care provider will explain the procedure and its risks.
How the test will feel
You may be given sedation to help you relax before the procedure, but you will be awake and able to follow instructions during the test.
You may feel some discomfort when the IV is placed into your arm and some pressure at the site when the catheter is inserted. In critically ill patients, the catheter may stay in place for several days.
You may feel discomfort when the area of the vein is numbed with anesthetic.
Why the test is performed
The procedure is done to evaluate how the blood moves (circulates) in people who have:
- Abnormal pressures in the heart arteries
Burns Congenital heart disease Heart failure
- Kidney disease
- Leaky heart valves (valvular regurgitation)
It may also be done to monitor for complications of
Swan-Ganz catheterization can also be used to detect abnormal blood flow between two usually unconnected areas.
Conditions that can also be diagnosed or evaluated with Swan-Ganz catheterization include:
Cardiac tamponade Pulmonary hypertension Restrictive cardiomyopathy
Normal Values
- Cardiac index is 2.8 to 4.2 liters per minute per square meter (of body surface area)
- Pulmonary artery systolic pressure is 17 to 32 millimeters of mercury (mmHg)
- Pulmonary artery mean pressure is 9 to 19 mmHg
- Pulmonary diastolic pressure is 4 to 13 mmHg
- Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure is 4 to 12 mmHg
- Right atrial pressure is 0 to 7 mmHg
What abnormal results mean
Abnormal results may be due to:
- Blood flow problems such as heart failure or shock
- Heart valve disease
- Lung disease
- Structural problems with the heart such as a septal defect
What the risks are
Risks of the procedure include:
- Bruising around the area where the catheter was inserted
- Injury to the vein
- Puncture to the lung if the neck or chest veins are used, causing lung collapse (
Very rare complications include:
- Cardiac
arrhythmiasrequiring treatment Cardiac tamponade Embolismcaused by blood clotsat the tip of the catheter
- Infection
- Low blood pressure

Scott,thanks for encouraging us to play up. I would not have been satisfied winning lower the way I played first round. I always play against myself, always trying to play to my potential or better. We all like to win, or get second and shoot for that guy next time. I did play with gents that were my level. Keep pushing us up.Some day, I would like to play with an open player on my card, with out feeling humiliated. I usually play better when I play with much better players, and usually they try to be encouraging. I would like to play and learn from the best. DU doubs may be my chance with a good draw of the cards . . .
