How often do you…..

I was staring at my makeup brushes today and thought, “I should really clean those.” I can’t remember the last time I washed them thoroughly. That’s bad. I know that. Made me think of a blog post though. So now, it’s question time.

How often do YOU….

1) clean your makeup brushes
2) put sunscreen on
3) pluck/tweeze/wax your brows
4) get your hair cut
5) purge ‘old’ makeup

My answers:

1) not often enough. I used to clean with brush cleaner once a week and deep clean every two weeks. I’ve been so busy lately that I haven’t done it at all.
2) not often enough. I need to get in the habit and use everyday.
3) get them waxed every three to four weeks.
4) should be every 6 to 8 weeks but I haven’t had a cut since Feb! I need to go. Soon!
5) not as much as I should. I am a pack rat. Terrible habit.

Hope you’ve had a great weekend!

Thanks for stopping by!

  1. C. says

    1 – 1x per week, i hate the idea of getting breakouts so i constantly wanna sanitize my brushes like OCD about it >.<

    2- everyday, i use neutrogena dry touch sunblock moisturizer so i get the built in spf factor and i love it, its a great moisturizer!

    3-pluck maybe every 3-4 days

    4- omg, this is the worst for me, every 6 months? my hair is f.r.i.e.d lol

    5- never really, i always keep it cause i never know when i'll fall in love with it again ^^

    cute post!

  2. Mama Jen says

    1. i clean my brushes everyday, deep clean once a week

    2. i only put actually sunscreen on when i'm at the pool/beach

    3. i tweeze my brows everyday for the most part

    4. i get my hair cut every 3-4 months

    5. i never get rid of makeup i don;t have the heart to throw it away

  3. CINDY says

    1) 1x per month.
    2) SPF in my moisturizer but besides that i really don't use it unless i go to the beach or something.
    3) 1x a week bad habit and i like to perfect it. i swear its a habit. ha!
    4) every couple of months or whenever i feel its getting thick i get it thinned out or i do it on my own or ask my boyfriend (aspiring stylist).
    5) whenever i feel things get cluttered or things i don't use. but mostly i keep a lot of them.

  4. Rin says

    Great post!

    1. I clean my brushes whenever I get the chance to. They don't get a lot of use, I only wear makeup for special occasions or during the weekend when I feel like it so I don't really need to clean them that much.

    2. I use a moisteriser with a built in spf 15 so I get sun protection everyday.

    3. My eyebrows have been tweezed since I was 11 so I hardly get hairs that I need to pluck. Whenever I see a stray hair I'll tweeze it out, probably every 2 months or so.

    4. I never cut my hair unless I need to go shorter. This past year alone I haven't had a hair cut!

    5. I typically get rid of old make up once it's "expired", ie: it's been two years, etc. I have a lot of new stuff so I haven't had to do this recently, except to get rid of mascara that was drying up.

  5. Tiffany's says

    1) depends…
    foundation + blush + eyeliner/brow = 3x/week
    for all others= 1x/week
    i recently read about just the dust and bacteria that collect on brushes, especially if kept in a cup holder, and I got ocd about it

    2) not enough as i should… only when I know I'll be tanning or out int he sun all day. But my foundation has SPF!!

    3) tweeze= every other day or so…
    wax= 1x/month maybe

    4) omg! hmm…let's just say….1x every 6 months

    5) i don't throw away old makeup, but i don't use old makeup either…i just store it away from my daily makeup. for some reason i can never throw makeup away…

  6. Krystallia says

    I clean my brushes whenever i feel the are dirty enough,prob once a month and if i have used a vibrant colour i clean them immidiately cause i use mostly earthy colours and i dont have that many brushes :))I apply sunscreen every weekend that i go to the beach or if i go in the middle of the week.
    My eyebrows,i tweeze them every 2-3 days alone and once every 2 months when i visit my beautician:)I dont get a hair cut because i have curly hair so i can never have a different haircut and i did so during Christmas and maybe next Christmas will have another one,maybe not,lol!!Old make up i usually ask my friends if they want anything and rarely i throw away something,i'd rather use the same for a couple of weeks to finish it up:)))

  7. e.motion in motion says

    Hi there 😀 Thanks so much for following my blog & for the feedback on my skincare post (:

    I always want to try Cetaphil, heard it's really good. I think that's a good idea too lol, to simplify your skincare. I should try it~

    And for the ?'s,

    1. Not often enough! If I remember, I wipe them down with makeup remover wipes 😛

    2. Eeeevery day. This is a MUST for me since I never used any when I was younger and I regret it.

    3. I pluck mine every couple of days. I don't like stray hairs :/

    4. It depends. ATM I'm growing my hair out xD

    5. Not enough! I throw out lippies kind of fast tho since I don't use them often enough 😛

  8. Glitterish Allsorts says

    1) Not enough! eeeeek!
    2) daily 🙂
    3) They're threaded every 3 weeks
    4) maybe 3 times a year
    5) again, not enough!

  9. WinterBlossom says

    1. I clean the eyemake-up brushes after use and my blusher and highlighter brushes once a week maybe.

    2. Only use suncream on holiday really. I live in scotland so we don't get much sun. 🙁

    3. I pluck my eyebrows only when I can be botheres. Hate doing it. Usually get leazy and get them waxed every 2months.

    4. 2 or 3times a year I get my hair cut. Its expensive! lol

    5. I clean on may make-up every few months. Sometimes I only fling out a lipgloss and other times I'm more drastic. lol

    Great post. 🙂 xxx

  10. Robert Smith's Mistress says

    1) I have the Bare Essentials Quick Change which I use every day and then deep clean once a week.
    2) My moisturiser has SPF 20 which is enough for miserable Scotland! When I was in the states however, I got the Clarins SPF 40 which is amazing
    3) I go for a rather slim brow so this is allot of upkeep! Probably twice a week!
    4) I got butchered a few weeks back so it will take me forever to go again. For someone that LOVES makeup I HATE going to the hairdressers!!! I find it soooo stressful
    5) Every few months. I hate when I see how much I am throwing out but then there comes a time there is just no more room!!!

  11. UnicornSmile says

    1) I clean brushes every time I use them both on myself and others.2)I use sunblock spf 30+ 365 days a year.
    3)Brows – tweeze once or twice a week and get them waxed every 2 weeks
    4) Hair cut – every two months average
    5) Don't usually throw out makeup I usually use it all up. Mascara I throw away every 3 months though.

    Great post 🙂

  12. faith120604 says

    1) I used to be better about this. Now just once a week for deep clean and wipe them every other day.
    2) Daily, SPF 50. I burn easily and live in the southern US.
    3)Daily/Every other day, I tweeze. Rarely wax.
    4) Sadly, every two months. My hair grows quickly so I should really go more often to keep from resembling a sheep dog.
    5) Probably once a year, except for things that age quickly like mascara and lipsticks.

    Great post idea! 🙂

  13. Catherine says

    1. I wash all my brushes every 6-10 days, usually on Sunday morning. I try to clean my paintpot & concealer brush every night but sometimes stretch them out another day or two.

    2. I wear sunscreen on my face everyday. I wear sunscreen on my body on exposed parts if I take the bus to school (which requires 1/2 an hour of walking/waiting outside).

    3. I tweeze my brows every 1-3 days for the most part. Whenever the strays get long enough to pull out.

    4. I get my hair cut every 3-4 months. My hair is 100% virgin and I heat style once a quarter, if at all, so my ends are in pretty good shape usually.

    5. I purge every so often… not sure how often. Usually when things don't fit in my drawer or designated bins anymore.

  14. Vanessa [PinkObsession] says

    1. Once every other week.

    2. Never, which is horrible!

    3. Wax every other month.

    4. I cut and color my hair every 3-4 months.

    5. I only get rid of old makeup if I never use it at all,

  15. Michelle (Lipstick Rules) says

    Wow – I'm impressed by how good you all are about cleaning brushes.

    As for waxing, hair cuts, and esp. getting rid of old makeup…a lot of us are very similar! 😉

    thanks for commenting ladies! Loving your answers.

  16. Lyd says

    1) I clean them whenever I feel they're too dirty. Usually, in winter, it's once every 2 weeks.

    2) Everytime I go to the beach…eventhough I only need SPF 6 🙂

    3) tweeze them when I see there are too much hairs there…and that is not enough, I know ehehe…well I haven't been blessed with nice eyebrows anyways.

    4) I don't cut my hair as much as I should. Haven't gotten a haircut since feb. I'm going after the summer, because sun and water ruin it, so there is no point in cut it now.

    5) language barrier: what do you mean by purge makeup? eheehh…I suck!

  17. Arezu says

    I love this:

    1) I spot clean them regularly with MAC's brush cleaner (after every use), I shampoo them rarely, cause spot-cleaning makes them clean enough. I'd say once every 2-3 weeks.
    2) Rarely! I bought sunscreen a while back to protect myself but I never wear it.
    3) I thread my eyebrows whenever they get unruly. I'd say once every 2-3 weeks.
    4) Twice a year, or whenever I feel like a change.
    5) Hardly ever. I figure I'll need it for something one day!

  18. Lipglossiping says

    1). Once every couple of weeks except eyeliner brushes which get a wash after every use.
    2). Everyday, I burn too easily not to.
    3). Whenever I start looking scary
    4). I've just had my first proper haircut in 9 years, before that my Mum used to trim my hair every couple of months.
    5). Oh gosh, just done it for the first time in about 3 years (yikes!) got rid of loads though!

The Selected Letters of Willa Cather Available for Pre-Order

April 9, 2013 by · Leave a Comment
Filed under: LitNews

Willa Cather LettersThe Selected Letters of Willa Cather will be released on April 16th.   Although if it would have been up to Cather, her letters would never be read by the public.

She forbade the publication of the letters in her will.  However the editors of the book state that while they’re not following the letter of Cather’s will, they are following its intent.  They state that Cather wanted people to focus more on her work than her personal life.  More than sixty five years after her passing, Cather’s literary legacy is secure.

The 566 letters collected here, nearly 20 percent of the total, range from the funny (and mostly misspelled) reports of life in Red Cloud in the 1880s that Cather wrote as a teenager, through those from her college years at the University of Nebraska, her time as a journalist in Pittsburgh and New York, and during her growing eminence as a novelist. Postcards and letters describe her many travels around the United States and abroad, and they record her last years in the 1940s, when the loss of loved ones and the disasters of World War II brought her near to despair. Written to family and close friends and to such luminaries as Sarah Orne Jewett, Robert Frost, Yehudi Menuhin, Sinclair Lewis, and the president of Czechoslovakia, Thomas Masaryk, they reveal her in her daily life as a woman and writer passionately interested in people, literature, and the arts in general.

The Odyssey and eBooks

September 28, 2012 by · Leave a Comment
Filed under: LitNews

This morning NPR had an interesting story, Put Down Your E-Reader: This Book Is Better in Print.  Click on the link to read or listen to the whole story.  Here’s an excerpt:

Gillian Cross’ new retelling of Homer’s The Odyssey is aimed at kids 8 and up, and like many children’s books, it’s brightly colored and beautifully illustrated. But the artwork in this book — illustrated by Neil Packer — seems sophisticated for a kids’ book. These are not your standard depictions of gods and goddesses with chiseled features in flowing gowns. The images are stylized, multi-layered, richly colored and a little edgy.

The article goes on to question if such a book would ever make a good eBook.  Are some books destined for print? What makes a book a good fit for an E-Reader?

You’ll also want to be sure to check out the book in question. The illustrations for The Odyssey are truly beautiful.

Joseph Anton by Salman Rushdie

September 19, 2012 by · Leave a Comment
Filed under: LitNews

Joseph AntonYesterday NPR interviewed Salman Rushdie about his new memoir, Joseph Anton.   In the book Rushdie talks about the experience of living in hiding  after a fatwa was issued calling for the death of the author and anyone associated with the book’s publication.

Where does the title come from?  In the interview Rushdie states:

“The police asked me to come up with a pseudonym, partly because I needed to rent properties and so on, and obviously couldn’t do it in my own name,” he says. “And I was asked to make it not an Indian name. And so, deprived of one nationality, I retreated into literature — which is, you could say, my other country — and chose this name from the first names of Conrad and Chekhov: Joseph Conrad, Anton Chekhov equals Joseph Anton.”

The interview is fascinating.  Rushdie draws parallels between his situation and Alfred Hitchcock’s film The Birds.  Not only that, he suggests  that his experience might have been a sort of foretelling of the 9/11 attacks.

Goodbye Ray Bradbury

Filed under: LitNews

On June 5th Ray Bradbury passed away.  He entertained us with work like Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles and The Illustrated Man.

Bradbury’s grandson said, “His legacy lives on in his monumental body of books, film, television and theater, but more importantly, in the minds and hearts of anyone who read him, because to read him was to know him. He was the biggest kid I know.”

Here’s a documentary about Bradbury from 1963. I especially liked hearing about the early years of his writing. Thank heavens he stuck with writing!

A Case of Scientific Skullduggery

February 6, 2012 by · Leave a Comment
Filed under: LitNews, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Sir Arthur Conan DoyleIn 1912 there was an announcement that rocked the scientific world.  The remains of an early form of man had been found in the British village of Piltdown.  It was exciting because Piltdown Man was much different from his Cro-Magnon and Neanderthal cousins.  He had an enormous brain.  A large tool that looked kind of like a cricket bat was  found near the skull fragments.  Piltdown Man was certainly one of a kind.

It turns out that the reason Piltdown Man was so different is because the artifacts were forged.

In 1953 it was proven that the artifacts were actually the skull of a modern human and  the jawbone of an orangutan or chimpanzee.  Now only one mystery remains.  Who perpetrated the hoax?

It seems likely that Charles Dawson, the man who first found the remains, was in on the scheme.  Dawson, nicknamed the Wizard of  Sussex, was famous for his archeological finds.  However Dawson’s discoveries have not stood the test of time.

Dr Miles Russell of Bournemouth University studied Dawson’s collection.  In 2003 Russell declared that at least 38 specimens were fakes. He further stated that Dawson’s  career was “built upon deceit, sleight of hand, fraud and deception, the ultimate gain being international recognition”

But did Dawson act alone?  Sir Arhtur Conan Doyle has always been suspected of assisting Dawson.  As a doctor Conan Doyle had the means to create the forged artifacts.  As a Spiritualist he may have also had the motive to take a jab at the scientific community.

In a few weeks British researchers are going to study the remains of Piltdown Man.  Their objective will be to find out everything they can about the artifacts and hopefully discover who took part in the fraud.

The Dead Witness: A Connoisseur’s Collection of Victorian Detective Stories

December 22, 2011 by · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Charles Dickens, LitNews, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

I heard about  The Dead Witness: A Connoisseur’s Collection of Victorian Detective Stories on NPR this morning.  Of course Wilkie Collins and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle are represented in the collection.  However the book also has detective fiction from classic authors that aren’t necessarily associated with the genre like Charles Dickens and Mark Twain.  Other stories in the collection are by authors that aren’t as well known today such as Anna Katharine Green and C. L. Pirkis.

Here’s what has to say:

From luminaries Mark Twain, Charles Dickens, Bret Harte, Wilkie Collins, and Arthur Conan Doyle to the forgotten author who helped inspire Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Murders in the Rue Morgue” to a surprising range of talented female authors and detectives, The Dead Witness offers mystery surprises from every direction. The 1866 title story, by Australian writer Mary Fortune, is the first known detective story by a woman, a suspenseful clue-strewn manhunt in the Outback. Pioneer writers Anna Katharine Green and C. L. Pirkis take you from high society New York to bustling London, introducing colorful detectives such as Violet Strange and Loveday Brooke.

The House of Silk – a NEW Sherlock Holmes Novel

November 22, 2011 by · Leave a Comment
Filed under: LitNews, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

House of SilkIn January of  this year Anthony Horowitz made a surprising announcement at a meeting of the Sherlock Holmes Society.  The Conan Doyle Estate had authorized Horowitz to write a new Sherlock Holmes novel.    It was an absolutely unprecedented event.  The Estate had never before made such an arrangement.

The new Sherlock Holmes novel, The House of Silk, is now available and getting great reviews.

The Huffington Post ~ A book firmly rooted in the style of Doyle, faithful to the character as created and with just enough wiggle room to allow the author to say all the things he’s been longing to say about the world of 221B Baker Street…THE HOUSE OF SILK will satisfy.

Publishers Weekly (starred review) ~ The hype surrounding what’s being billed as the first pastiche ever officially approved by the Conan Doyle estate is amply justified … authentic. Horowitz gets everything right-the familiar narrative voice, brilliant deductions, a very active role for Watson, and a perplexing and disturbing series of puzzles to unravel-and the legion of fans of the originals will surely be begging for Horowitz to again dip into Watson’s trove of untold tales.

If you have a Kindleand are a little unsure about the whole Conan Doyle replacement issue, then you can download a sample chapter and check it out before you commit to buying the book.

Joss Whedon Does Shakespeare

Filed under: LitNews, LitQuotes in Movies

ShakespeareYes, it’s true.  Joss Whedon, the creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly is working on a version of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing. Here’s part of the the press release from the movie’s website:

Santa Monica, CA (October 24th, 2011)

Bellwether Pictures proudly announces the completion of principal photography on MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING, a modern version of Shakespeare’s classic comedy adapted and directed by Joss Whedon (Marvel’s upcoming THE AVENGERS, “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog”). Filmed in just 12 days entirely on location in exotic Santa Monica, the film features a stellar cast of beloved (or soon to be beloved) actors – some of them veterans of Shakespearean theater, some completely new to the form. But all dedicated to the idea that this story bears retelling, that this dialogue is as fresh and intoxicating as any being written, and that the joy of working on a passion project surrounded by dear friends, admired colleagues and an atmosphere of unabashed rapture far outweighs their hilariously miniature paychecks.

Why Read Moby-Dick?

October 26, 2011 by · Leave a Comment
Filed under: LitNews

Why Read Moby DickI adore Moby Dick by Herman Melville.  This site’s quotation collection reflects that.  (Click here to see all 32 Moby Dick quotes.)  However my appreciation for the novel is nothing compared to that of Nathaniel Philbrick’s.

Philbrick’s book Why Read Moby-Dick? helps us understand the time period of the book’s creation as well as showing us how it relates to our lives today.

Amazon has this to say:

Philbrick skillfully navigates Melville’s world and illuminates the book’s humor and unforgettable characters-finding the thread that binds Ishmael and Ahab to our own time and, indeed, to all times. A perfect match between author and subject, Why Read Moby-Dick? gives us a renewed appreciation of both Melville and the proud seaman’s town of Nantucket that Philbrick himself calls home. Like Alain de Botton’s How Proust Can Change Your Life, this remarkable little book will start conversations, inspire arguments, and, best of all, bring a new wave of readers to a classic tale waiting to be discovered anew.

The Invisible Woman – The Affair of Charles Dickens

September 9, 2011 by · 1 Comment
Filed under: Charles Dickens, LitNews

Invisible WomanOne of the first biographies I read about Charles Dickens was The Invisible Woman by Claire Tomalin.  The book focuses on Dickens’ affair with the actress Ellen Ternan.

Charles Dickens and Nelly Ternan met in 1857; she was 18, a hard-working actress performing in his production of The Frozen Deep, and he was 45, the most lionized writer in England. Out of their meeting came a love affair that lasted thirteen years and destroyed Dickens’s marriage while effacing Nelly Ternan from the public record.

In this remarkable work of biography and scholarly reconstruction, the acclaimed biographer of Mary Wollstonecraft, Thomas Hardy, Samuel Pepys and Jane Austen rescues Nelly from the shadows of history, not only returning the neglected actress to her rightful place, but also providing a compelling portrait of the great Victorian novelist himself. The result is a thrilling literary detective story and a deeply compassionate work that encompasses all those women who were exiled from the warm, well-lighted parlors of Victorian England.

You can learn more about Dickens’ marriage and affair on our partner site, Charles Dickens Info.

Sweatbands have become as much about fashion as they are about function. In basketball, athletes wear terry cloth sweatbands to keep sweat out of their eyes while they play. In the '80s, neon sweatbands and spandex were all the rage in aerobics classes. Today, you can wear sweatbands on your head, arms or legs to fashionably represent your favorite athletic team, band or even charitable cause.

Step 1

Pull a sweatband over your head and let it dangle around your neck. Push the front of the sweatband so it rests at the forehead, just above the ears. The front of the sweatband should sit underneath any bangs, and the back of the band underneath the hair at the base of your neck.

Step 2

Slide a wrist sweatband over the hand and onto the wrist if you want to prevent sweaty wrists and hands during aerobic activity. Wrist sweatbands can also be worn by themselves as an alternative to bracelets.

Step 3

Push an elbow sweatband over the hand and up to the elbow so the sweatband is centered on the elbow. Kobe Bryant often dons his Lakers' purple and yellow on one elbow, while many other basketball stars skip this added sweat protection.

The contemporary perspectives - fiction, first-hand accounts, reportage and photographs - found in the pages of this collection give a unique insight into the experiences and suffering of those affected by the American Civil War. The essays and recollections detail some of the earliest attempts by medical professionals to understand and help the wounded, and look at how writers and poets were influenced by their own involvement as nurses, combatants and observers. So alongside the medical observations of figures such as Silas Weir Mitchell and William Keen, you'll find memoirs of writers including Louisa May Alcott, Ambrose Bierce and Walt Whitman. By presenting the wide range of frequently traumatic experiences by writers, medical staff, and of course the often ignored common foot soldiers on both sides, this volume will complement the older emphasis on military history and will appeal to readers of the evolution of medicine, of the literature the time, of social anthropology, and of the whole complex issue of how the war was represented and debated from many different perspectives. While a century and a half of developments in medicine, social care and science mean that the level of support and technology available to amputees is now incomparable to that in the mid-nineteenth century, the insights into the lives and thoughts of those devastated by psychological traumas, complex emotions and difficulties in adjusting to life after limb loss remain just as relevant today. Phenomena explored in the book, such as 'Phantom Limb Syndrome', continue to be the subject of medical and academic research in the twenty-first century.

The first Cambridge Workshop on Universal Access and Assistive Technology (CWUAAT) was held at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, in March 2002. It was inspired by the earlier, highly successful Cambridge Workshops on Rehabilitation Robotics organised by the late Robin Jackson. Robin was the founder of Rehabilitation Research at Cambridge which now continues in the Engineering Design Centre within the Department of Engineering, led by John Clarkson and Simeon Keates, and in the Rainbow Group within the Computer Laboratory led by Peter Robinson. CWUAAT represents the first in a new series of workshops that we are aiming to hold every two years which, reflecting the spirit of recent moves to extend the rights for universal accessibility, will encourage discussion of a broad range of interests. There will be a general focus on product/solution development. Hence it is intended that the principal requirements for the successful design of assistive technology shall be addressed, where these range from the identification and capture of the needs of the users, through to the development and evaluation of truly usable and accessible systems for users with special needs. The best submissions received for the first CWUAAT are contained in this book, where the contributors are all leading researchers in the fields of Universal Access and Assistive Technology and represent a large part of the international research community. They include, though not exclusively, computer scientists, designers, engineers, industrial representatives, ergonomists and sociologists.

Florida Keys to get extra area code in 2015

305 area code numbers will be exhausted next year

Headline Goes Here

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Residents living in the Florida Keys will soon have to dial 10 numbers to make a call.

The Florida Public Service Commission on Thursday approved an implementation plan to add a second area code to the chain of islands that stretch out from southern tip of Florida.

The 786 area code will be extended to the Keys because available 305 area code numbers will be exhausted next year. Both 786 and 305 are already used in Miami-Dade County.

Telephone customers will keep their existing numbers, but starting in April 2015 those in the Keys will have to start dialing the area code to make local calls.

New numbers with 786 will begin being issued to Keys residents in June 2015.

Q&A: I may have depression and I have been physically hurting myself. Is there anything that I can do?

Ask A Doctor Question:

I think i may have depression and i have been physically hurting myself. I was drinking but i stopped. then recently i started cutting. My boyfriend is concerned and talks to me a lot which helps. Ive tried to tell my mom about how i feel but a short while ago a friend of mine had a depression problem and she thinks im trying to copy. Is there anything that i could do that doesnt involve my mom?

- Brittany

Martin Kluger, Ph.D. -

Sometimes it is hard to talk to a family member about our problems and that is why people see psychologists.  But if you are depressed, and cutting, then it is important that you come into see either a psychologist or psychiatrist (who can prescribe medicine if you need), so we can find ways to help you.  Unfortunately, it sounds like this is something that you will not 'fix' on your own or just with a friends help.

There was widespread shock and sadness over the entire locality when the news of the very sudden and unexpected death of Liam Murphy of Coolnahinch began to filter through last Friday April 28th. Liam who was in his eighty fourth year was in reasonably good health up to his demise on Thursday night. Friday morning he had been carrying on with running his farm on a limited basis up to his death. Liam lived in Coolnahinch all his life where he worked his farm with his late brother Dan. He was a very popular man in the locality down through his eighty plus years everybodys friend and nobodys enemy. He was a very keen farmer, a very good neighbour always ready to help out especially at community level, very generous in his support of voluntary efforts. He never travelled too far from home just a few drinks and a conversation in the local pubs in the village. We offer our sincere sympathy to his brother Vincent in England and to his sister Peggy Lennon Curracreehan, to his extended family nephews nieces grandnephews and grand nieces, cousins and neighbours. He will be removed to Saint Dominics church on this monday evening and buried in the family plot in kilcommock after eleven o’clock mass on Tuesday morning.

We also extend our sympathy to Kelly families and extended families of Abbeyderg on the death of their sister Patricia (Patsy) Kelly Phillips which occurred in Buckinghamshire in England. Patsy is the second youngest member of the Kelly family of Abbeysderg and had spent most of her adult life in England where she reared her family. She returned to live in her native Kenagh for a short period about eight years ago. To her brothers sisters brothers in law sisters in law nephews and nieces we offer our sympathy. She will be buried in England.

Coast to Coast in 10 Days: California & Florida

My job definitely has some perks. After months of covering presidential campaign events in Iowa (we will be back there soon), the presidential race has finally popped in some of the most beautiful parts of this nation. California and Florida. I have spent 6 of the last 11 days on these different coasts. Here is a little behind-the-scenes tour of work over the last couple of trips.

A couple of notes:
1. This post is going to include like 47 photos. So, if I were you, I wouldn't even bother pulling it up on my phone. Save it for the computer.

2. If at any point it looks like I am not working in these photos, keep in mind that I happen to 105% LOVE my job, and it almost never feels like work, so if it looks fun, it's not because I'm goofing off, not working - it is because I love what I do, and it IS FUN.

We got off the plane, and before I could even change out of my yoga pants, we were in Malibu. This is my first time to EVER have my toes in the sand on the Pacific coast! I was remembering my Malibu Barbie I had as a kid. I loved her and her pink convertible. I did not see her.
We proceeded to get video of the beach, surfers, and naturally - bury the host of our show, The Brody File, in the sand. This had an actual point. Click on the link to watch the show (the buried-in-the-sand part is at the very end).

Then, we visited Joni and Friends.

The next day, the GOP Presidential Debate was held at the Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, CA.

Before the debate, we did a live shot via Skype.
And a standup for our story about the debate, the next morning.
Here's a little behind-the-scenes stuff for you. At presidential debates, there are always hundreds of media. And, it's all very organized (generally) as far as who goes where, print, radio, TV, etc. You see that little "CBN" sign in the corner of the above picture?
That is our designated 'standup' spot. For my non-TV-news friends: A standup is the portion of a report that a correspondent does on camera.

During the debate, we are not ever actually INSIDE the debate hall. The media has assigned areas in what is called a "filing center." Which in this case was a not very air conditioned tent outside, that had lots of TVs and wireless internet.
After we finished our live shot and standup, and claimed our space in the filing center, we were lucky enough to get a private tour of the Reagan Presidential Library!
The Library is incredible! We breezed through there very quickly, though, so I definitely want to go back another time, when I have time to play with all of the interactive exhibits and see Air Force One!

Like children, we took silly pictures at the presidential podium. It's funny, because we see this kind of thing every day, yet when the opportunity presents itself...
This picture of my co-worker, Steve, really puts into perspective just how short I am!
Yikes. Get that girl a pelican case or a step stool!

After our tour, we visited the cafeteria...
Where I enjoyed my split pea soup.
And, we hunkered down for the debate/editing our story about the debate, which always takes us into the wee hours of the morning.

The next morning, after a couple hours of sleep, we made our way to Hollywood! This was my first time to Hollywood. I was surprised that it wasn't glitzier or shinier than it was. It always looks so ritzy on TV but in person, I thought it felt kind of old and dumpy. Sorry for the dis, Hollywood. You were still cool, though.
We walked right by the Kodak Theatre. Now, I'll confess, I hardly ever watch any movies or TV, so there was a lot of stuff that is apparently very cool in Hollywood, that I had no idea about. But, I do know this is where they host American Idol.

We walked down the Walk of Fame.
That was pretty cool (when we got to some names I recognized.)
I even found a star that appeared to be unclaimed. So, I claimed that as my own!
Hopefully the stars are cool with that.
We taped the Brody File Show in front of some famous Chinese Theater. Forgive me. I'm big on politicians... not on actual celebrity stuff..
Then we went to "Hollywood and Vine," which is apparently a very famous intersection, and interviewed a GOP strategist. I did my duty of walking behind Steve, so that he wouldn't run into anything while he was taping the interview.
Oh, and I got my first Pumpkin Spice Latte of the season.
Iced.And, on our way to the airport, we drove/hiked up to the infamous Hollywood sign to get some shots for the show and take pictures of ourselves.
Someone should have told me it would be okay to put the latte down.
I mean, seriously. Because, here is our team pic at the Hollywood Sign, and one sip of a PSL is in the photo.

Then, I was home for two or three days, during which we drove to MD to get M's new wheelchair, and I went to a football game, a baseball game, and church.

Then Sunday night... off to FLORIDA.
The trip to FL was quicker than the California trip, and we didn't shoot the show there (since we had just shot it in CA), so there aren't as many pics of Florida.

Unfortunately, that trip started out with a major flight delay, and we ended up flying into Orlando and driving to Tampa, instead of flying into Tampa as originally planned.
Needless to say, I was very happy to see my waffle the next morning.

That day, we went to the filing center, did our setup there, did another Skype live shot (no pics this time, sorry) and a standup outside. Then, we made a run to Cold Stone Creamery, where I "loved it" - probably a little too much! We also shot an interview outside the Hard Rock Casino. That had nothing to do with the casino.And, back to the filing center to hunker down for the debate, story about the debate, etc. etc. The same thing as California, only we were up much later into the not-so-wee hours of the morning because we were back on East Coast time.

After a quick nap, we had breakfast the next morning, no waffle for me that day, and we headed to Clearwater Beach.
Aaahhh. Yes. I spent most of the day in the van, writing The Brody File Show, and producing it remotely, until the battery in my laptop died.
Then, I joined the boys.
They were interviewing random Florida voters on the street. Definitely an interesting bunch!
We had time for a very quick lunch, which was the most amazing food I've had since I don't even remember when. Such a shame we had to scarf it down.
On our way back to the car, I saw this very random assortment of offers from a shop.
Everything you need there, huh?
We popped in a tourist shop, where I contemplated getting Michael this shirt (and wondered why anyone would need THREE of them?)
I also contemplated getting myself this hat, but then I sa how I looked like a truck driver when wearing it.
So, we left.
And headed to the airport.

I was sad that we couldn't spend more time in Clearwater, because Michael has soooo many dear friends there, and I have some other friends in the Tampa area I wish I could have seen, but there just wasn't enough spare time. Maybe next year. We will be back for the GOP Convention in 2012.

Thankfully, the flight home was uneventful, and I was able to sleep for 24 hours, then we went out for our *real* Anniversary dinner. And, I went grocery shopping. And (at least somewhat) cleaned the house.

I went back to work yesterday, and filled out expense reports and paperwork for my next trip (Orlando). Monday, we head to Charlottesville for the whole day of doctor stuff/testing for Michael. And Wednesday, I get on another plane.

All I have to say is I think I will definitely be using that house cleaning Groupon I bought a while ago, and I am looking forward to using all these Hilton points at some point in the future for a trip for me and the Hubs!

FITCHBURG -- The North Middlesex Regional baseball team found itself in a close battle with Fitchburg on Monday afternoon, but the Patriots snapped into form late to secure an 8-3 victory over the Red Raiders at Fitchburg High School.

The Patriots extend their winning streak to three games, improving to 3-1, while Fitchburg remains winless.

"Monday games are always tough and we came off a big win on Friday," North Middlesex head coach Tom Bartelson said. "I think we came out with big heads, spotted them a couple of runs and let them stay around for a while, but we were over thinking things. Once we started settling down, and getting some hits, the offense came alive."

It was just a two-run game at 5-3 heading into the top of the sixth inning, when the Patriots got some separation. Tyler MacDonald walked and Rich Sharp connected on a line drive to put runners on the corners. Following the second out of the inning, MacDonald ended up scoring on a successful double steal, which lifted the lead to 6-3.

Ben Wright reached on an infield hit to put runners on the corners again. John Boutwell then took one for the team, getting hit to load the bases. James Ciampa, another late addition to the contest, played the hero when he connected on a two-run flare to left field, which made it 8-3.

But the Red Raiders made a game of it early on.

Fitchburg had jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning, getting on the board with a Darius Flowers RBI double.

Flowers pitched well early for the Red Raiders, but a couple errors and a tough inning would later do the Fitchburg ace in.

"Flowers had three hits today. He hit the ball well and threw it well," Fitchburg head coach John Costello said. "The unearned runs happen every game. We hit the ball well, but we just had too many mistakes. We've just got to go back to the drawing board as usual and keep working."

North Middlesex was able to take its first lead of the game in the top half of the third inning. Sharp -- who tallied four hits in the game -- reached on an infield hit with two outs and an error on a ball hit by Shawn Pinney's put runners on the corners.

Fitchburg's catcher attempted to nab Pinney stealing, but the throw was off, allowing Sharp to score the tying run. Wright then came through with a line drive to center, putting the Patriots ahead 2-1.

To the Red Raiders' credit they responded a half inning later, working some two out magic. Joel Luna reached with two outs on a hit to right field, then Flowers drilled a shot over the center fielder's head, giving him plenty of time to reach third and tie the game up at 2-2.

Diosmar Reynoso singled on a chopper down the left field line, putting the Raiders back up on top, 3-2.

The back-and-forth affair continued in the top half of the fourth inning.  MacDonald plated a run on a single to centerfield and following a Sharp single, Pinney connected on a blooper to right, which extended the Patriots' lead to 5-3.

"I told these guys once they get the lead, they need to get that killer instinct and finish them off," Bartelson said. "Finally starting to hit the ball got us going."

North Middlesex's pitching quieted the Fitchburg bats from there, only allowing one base runner over the next two innings. James Ciampa provided some stellar relief down the stretch, along with Sam Ineson closing things out.

"The pitching got a little bit surer of themselves," Bartelson said. "Once the confidence came in they started playing a lot better."

by David M. Dorsen. Cambridge, MA: The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2012. 498pp. Cloth $35.00. ISBN 9780674064393.

Reviewed by Steven B. Lichtman, Department of Political Science, Shippensburg University.

In his Foreword to this excellent and complex book, Judge Richard Posner points out that judicial biographies are a dubious business, ostensibly because the only people trained to understand the complexities of legal thinking – lawyers and legal historians – are usually not trained as biographers.

Posner’s observation was intended to highlight the comparatively weak work that can be produced by legal scholars play-acting as amateur biographers. There is, however, another possibility: the judicial biography written by a skilled legal scholar, which is so heavy on jurisprudential analysis that the life it is supposed to be cataloging tends to get lost in the shuffle.

The risk of a judicial biography turning out this way is acute, even when the subject is as well-known as a Justice of the United States Supreme Court. But the risk is even greater when the subject of the biography is a lower court judge, not least because all judges below the Supreme Court exist in a kind of doctrinal no-man’s-land; their best work is either trumped by a Supreme Court decision on top of it, or diminished by the lack of Supreme Court review.

Certain lower court judges nevertheless make promising biographical subjects, but often for reasons tangential to their jurisprudential output. Learned Hand, subject of a masterful biography by Gerald Gunther, is widely considered to be the greatest American judge not to be named to the Supreme Court, and his role in the development of the law of freedom of speech (including his gentle prodding of Oliver Wendell Holmes) is legendary. Frank Johnson, expertly profiled by Jack Bass, was a central figure “on the ground” during the civil rights struggles of the 1960’s, and is one of only three American judges below Supreme Court level to make the cover of TIME magazine (The other two were both federal district court judges: Harold Medina (S.D.N.Y.) in 1949, when he was presiding over the trial of 11 Communist Party leaders; and John Sirica (D.D.C.) in 1973, when he was presiding over the trial of the Watergate burglars.).

Moreover, there are other seminal 20th century American judges who would seem to rate in-depth biographical treatment, but of whom no such treatment is in print today. The most recent biography of Jerome Frank, not only a great judge but a dominant player in the emergence of the Legal Realism movement, appears to be Robert Glennon’s 1985 account. And there does not appear to be any scholarly study of California’s Roger Traynor, a pioneer in the exposition of the exclusionary rule and a major influence on the Warren Court’s criminal procedure revolution.

The task thus facing David Dorsen as he set out to chronicle the life and career of [*500] Henry Friendly was daunting. A judge on the Second Circuit Court of Appeals from 1959 to 1986 (selected to fill the vacancy created by Harold Medina’s assumption of senior status), Friendly was not a protagonist in any renowned episodes in American history like Johnson, nor was he an expositor of a new strain of legal philosophy like Frank. While he was unquestionably a judicial craftsman of the highest order, his impact on the United States Supreme Court does not approach that of Hand or Traynor. Any appreciation of Friendly, therefore, would likely only find an audience of legal connoisseurs.

It is precisely because of these conceptual difficulties inherent in this project that Dorsen’s triumph in Henry Friendly: Greatest Judge of His Era is so stunning. He has created a rich and meticulous account of Friendly’s judicial output, and the book is an example of how a profile of one figure in the law can engender jurisprudential scholarship of the highest quality.

Although the book’s divisions are not formally delineated, there are four distinct sections. The first covers Friendly’s early life up through his thirty-one years of private practice as a lawyer in New York City. As a student, Friendly was famously dazzling; he attained the highest grade average in the history of Harvard Law School (his grades, adjusted for Harvard’s reconfigured grading standard, were slightly higher than those of Louis Brandeis). Landmarks in Friendly’s professional life include his longtime representation of Pan American Airways and its controversial leader, Juan Trippe, and his co-founding of the major law firm that is today known as Cleary, Gottlieb, Steen & Hamilton.

The second section of the book describes Friendly’s tenure as a judge, focusing on his relationships with his colleagues and his clerks. In these pages, Dorsen does a marvelous job sketching out this brilliant but often prickly man. The diligent preparation that went into this project is self-evident, and Dorsen has benefited significantly from the cooperation of Judge Friendly’s family. Given that, as Dorsen shows, Friendly’s relationship with his family was at times complicated, this must have been a tricky undertaking. These first two sections are comparatively brief; combined, they are much shorter than the extended third section of the book, which is comprised of descriptions and assessments of Friendly’s jurisprudence.

If there was one area in which Dorsen might have productively expanded his analysis, it might be his coverage of the diverse set of people that Friendly mentored throughout his career. Dorsen helpfully includes a list of all 51 of Friendly’s law clerks, and readers will likely be struck by the fact that many of them went onto Supreme Court clerkships that cut across the ideological spectrum: William Brennan and Thurgood Marshall on the left; William Rehnquist and Warren Burger on the right. Indeed, there must be a rich story to be told about a judge who employed as his clerks someone who went on to become one of the nation’s leading liberal legal academics (Bruce Ackerman) and also someone who went on to become the ferociously conservative Chief Justice of the United States (John Roberts). However, the reader is left wishing that Dorsen had told this story in a little more detail.

In all likelihood, readers will have no such wishes about the third section of the book, which is a thorough subject-[*501] specific analysis of Friendly’s judicial output, and it is these chapters that represent the book’s signal achievement. Dorsen covers Friendly’s jurisprudence in a comprehensive variety of subjects, from Bill of Rights law to more workaday matters such as administrative law and federal jurisdiction. Importantly, Dorsen also spends significant time reviewing Friendly’s copious speeches and law review articles, since these are also key indicators of Friendly’s outlook on law and judging.

Much of this source material, especially the material covering nonconstitutional issues, is intricate and at times even byzantine, and readers who lack formal training in legal analysis may find it inaccessible. This is not a book aimed at general readers, and it is to Dorsen’s credit that he resists any possible urge to “dumb down” his analysis, opting instead to stick with a sophisticated lawyerly approach to his subject. Readers who are schooled in these topics will find Dorsen’s work quite rewarding.

Along the way, Dorsen has occasion to discuss some of the most prominent legal-political episodes in New York in the 1970’s, such as the race to succeed John Lindsay as mayor in 1973 and the Bernard Bergman nursing home scandal. In addition, Dorsen gives an extensive treatment of the Second Circuit’s handling of the “Pentagon Papers” litigation, including Friendly’s attempt to persuade his former law partner, Justice John Harlan.

Of course, the story of the Second Circuit’s oral argument and deliberations in the Pentagon Papers case is emblematic of the “no-man’s-land problem” identified above. The only decision that “matters” for most people is the Supreme Court’s eventual fractured ruling in New York Times v. United States. The task for a biographer of a lower court judge discussing a case that made it to the Supreme Court is to explain why the case’s intermediate stages are still important. This is especially true when the lower panel is hearing a case that is a virtual guarantee for certiorari (and the lower panel knows this, in the moment). What Dorsen is able to accomplish in these pages is to illustrate how the actions and questions of judges down below shape the arguments that are eventually advanced at the topmost judicial rung. Dorsen shows how certain arguments were tested and abandoned, and in so doing sheds new and interesting light on a familiar case.

It is this core question – what is the true impact on American law that can be exerted by a judge who did not sit on the highest judicial level? – that informs the final section of the book, which is a brief but resonant assessment of Friendly’s legacy. Arguing that Friendly was not motivated by any overarching constitutional theory or by a loyalty to a particular mode of judicial decision-making, Dorsen nevertheless shows how even one level down from the Supreme Court, Friendly was a powerful source of judicial excellence and innovation. Notably instructive are the data Dorsen presents on how often lower court judges are mentioned by name in Supreme Court opinions, and identified at least five times in law review articles. Unsurprisingly, the most-mentioned judge in both lists is Learned Hand. Yet Friendly ranks second on both lists, and is not far behind Hand; in comparison, the distance between Friendly and third-place John Minor Wisdom (of the Fifth Circuit) is a chasm.[*502]

There is one other component of the final section of the book, and readers who are not completely familiar with Friendly’s life and career may find it acutely jarring. In 1986, one year after the death of his wife, Friendly committed suicide. As Dorsen shows, this was neither a sudden nor unexpected act; for much of his life, Friendly had endured some form of depression (though it fell short of a clinical diagnosis), and in the months following his wife’s death he had spoken openly to friends, colleagues, and family about ending his own life.

It is here that the book struggles some, understandably. To omit this event from a biography would be intellectually dishonest, and one must assume that Dorsen approached this subject with a surfeit of caution, especially given his reliance on Friendly’s family in writing the book. At the same time, while Dorsen does make periodic references to Friendly’s life-long mental and emotional burdens, he does not explore that subject with anywhere near the analytical thoroughness that he employs when exploring Friendly’s legal work. The effect in the end is that Friendly’s decision to take his own life, which was evidently not at all inconsistent with his perspective and personality, comes off as more incongruous than characteristic, despite what appear to be Dorsen’s intentions to the contrary.
This, however, is one of the only soft spots in an otherwise exceptional book. Ultimately, Henry Friendly: Greatest Judge of His Era, is a superb contribution to the field of judicial biography, rigorously researched and intelligently presented.

Iain Sinclair on Andrew Kötting

From the balcony, seven floors above the coast road, I watch the pepper-grey beach disdain its nuisance presences: night-fishermen, scavengers sweeping the shingle with metal detectors for small change lost in the spasms of last night’s courtship rituals. Dog valets. Tai chi soloists. Convivial drinking schools, cans raised to the world, enjoying the last cocktail party in England before being tidied away into that sinister under-promenade with its extruded viewing chapels (tidemarks of bright blue tin). In season – early June to mid-October – regulars perform stately laps across the bay, not far out, drifting with the tide. Frequently coupled for moral support, for the affirmation that the experience is survivable, they wallow and tussle, necks stiff, heads high above the tannin scum: leathery seaweed, wads of yellow paper. They tiptoe out, speeded-up Benny Hill, over sharp stones, to neat piles of folded clothes. The watched, towelled down and returned to their balconies, rusting rails and anti-gull devices, become the watchers. A slow-motion cinema of such tender boredom that they will never move again.

Along the seafront they come, the ordinary eccentrics, the premature revenants. The hoop-backed old woman with the doll-child in an ancient pram. The naked man wrapped in his inadequate eiderdown. The teetering albino-blonde lady in cylindrical black, regular as a tramcar in her solipsistic excursions; remarkable in that she doesn’t have an accompanying pet, just the feeling that one is missing, that she pauses, drops a shoulder, sets her pace to accommodate this absence. There is something schizophrenic about having the sea on one side and the road on the other; promenaders forget how to turn left or right. Unanchored thoughts and fantasies flow directly to the horizon, without ever coming into focus. In a daze of refracted marine light, they find themselves, these self-hypnotised actors, in the same De Chirico painting: interior as exterior. Sleepwalkers sunburned on one side. Magically, they avoid collisions. They float towards no particular destination, with no motive beyond movement itself; a beating of the bounds. The mirage holds until the first siren sounds, the first squad car, the first ambulance.

Until the spell is broken by a person who insists on carving through the lines of permission, the drowsy contours; a stubbly bruiser who bounds through the traffic, down to his favoured gap in the rocks, before striking off towards France; leaving his tolerant companion, a girl (his daughter), sketching on the shingle shelf. I’ve seen this man before, on film, his own film, when the pace was beginning to flag, hurling himself fully clothed into the Scottish sea. He’ll swing outside a speeding camper van, mugging like a chimpanzee, death-defying grin, before he improvises a bit of business around the act of hauling his broken leg into some nervous Highland waiting-room. I recognised this reverse asylum-seeker, at once, as the performance artist and memory-cannibal Andrew Kötting. Umlaut rising above the lunar o of his surname like a pair of ice-blue staring eyes, too mad to blink. There are only four Köttings to be found, so he tells me, in the United Kingdom phonebooks. If anyone is looking.

This stretch of the South Coast, well used to invasions, from helmeted Normans to coachloads of professionally unimpressed new Europeans, runs from the exploitable heritage set of Hastings Old Town to the surreal beach colony of Pevensey Bay. Marooned spectres of Modernism – the De La Warr Pavilion, the shell of Bulverhythe Lido, Marine Court in St Leonards – collaborate with colour unco-ordinated huts, modest hives and tottering Regency speculations in which weather-beaten old ones are grateful still to be old. Dues paid, they’re free to gaze out on grass and silver road and high, bright clouds. The derision of yellow-beaked gulls.

Safety Tips

We all can make a difference in stopping sexual violence. Most sexual assaults and rape are committed by someone the victim knows, not by a stranger, and many involve situations where drinking and drug use is occurring.

Have a plan.
Talk with your friends about your plans BEFORE you go out. Do you feel like drinking? Are you interested in hooking up? Where do you want to go? Having a clear plan ahead of time helps friends look after one another.

Go out together.
Go out as a group and come home as a group; never separate and never leave your friend(s) behind.

Watch out for others.
If you are walking at night with friends and notice a woman walking by herself in the same direction, ask her to join you so she doesn't have to walk alone.

Diffuse situations.
If you see a friend coming on too strong to someone who may be too drunk to make a consensual decision, interrupt, distract, or redirect the situation. If you are too embarrassed or shy to speak out, get someone else to step in.

Trust your instincts.
If a situation or person doesn’t seem “right” to you, trust your gut and remove yourself, if possible, from the situation.
Active Bystander Tips

The District encourages all members of the District Community to be Active Bystanders against sexual violence. The following information is based on Bystander Intervention research being done at the University of New Hampshire and the guidelines developed by UNH

Learn to recognize the signs of danger and develop plans to keep each other safe. Commit to being an Active Bystander.

Some simple steps to becoming an Active Bystander

• Notice the situation. Be aware of your surroundings.

• Interpret it as a problem. Do I recognize that someone needs help?

• Feel responsible to act. See yourself as being part of the solution to help.

• Know what to do. Educate yourself on what to do.

• Intervene safely. Take action but be sure to keep yourself safe.

How to Intervene Safely

• Tell another person. Being with others is a good idea when a situation looks dangerous.

• Ask a person you are worried about if he/she is okay. Provide options and a listening ear.

• Distract or redirect individuals in unsafe situations.

• Ask the person if he/she wants assistance. Make sure that he/she gets home safely.

• Call the police (911) or someone else in authority or yell for help.

Corn Silk Infusion (Zea mays)

Corn Silk Infusion (Zea mays) ingredient image

Corn Silk Infusion

Corn (Zea mays) is also known as maize starch and cornstarch. It is native to Central America and the Native Americans called it mahiz.

Zea comes from the Greek ‘zeia,’ meaning grain or cereal, and ‘mays’ from the Native American.

It is a fine, silken powder milled from the dried seed cobs of corn.

There are five varieties of corn: dent, flint, flour, popcorn and sweet corn. It is an annual grass and tolerates most climates very well. It is now grown in most parts of the world.

The plant itself has a long stem, growing up to five feet and flowering in early summer. The cobs are harvested immature or ripe for culinary use, but always ripe for use as cereals, flour, oil or syrup.

Corn silk is the female flower of the corn plant. We infuse corn silk in boiled water and strain the mixture. This is added to our Okra conditioner for its softening, conditioning action on the hair.
