SPECIAL NOTE! -- ANNE WILL PERSONALLY ANSWER ANY QUESTION OF YOURS AFTER READING THIS BOOK. ASK ON HER WEB SITE, AND YOU'LL NORMALLY HEAR BACK WITHIN HOURS! In between writing several of today's most popular and innovative beginner books on soapmaking -- including the modern classics "Smart Soapmaking" and "Milk Soapmaking" -- Anne L. Watson engaged in a number of projects, experiments, and investigations into areas of advanced soapmaking. A lot of it never got into those books! Now Anne shares with you her explorations into such topics as herbal soaps, chocolate soaps, silk soaps, sea soaps, "wood" soaps, citrus soaps, cucumber soaps, oatmeal soaps, egg soaps, beer and wine soaps, castile soap, and even laundry soap. Along the way, she shares hard-earned tips about soap equipment and ingredients, choosing soapmaking suppliers, designing and resizing recipes, troubleshooting, trace accelerants, soda ash, essential oils and fragrances, natural colorants, gift soaps, and soapmaking as a business. And as a special bonus, she provides a fun and instructive look at the history of soap ads, using antique trade cards from her personal collection. Looking for new challenges as a soapmaker? Anne's soapmaking almanac will keep you busy, engaged, and entertained throughout the year. ///////////////////////////////////////////////// Anne L. Watson is the author of "Smart Soapmaking," "Milk Soapmaking," three more books on making soap and lotion, other popular books on home crafts and lifestyle, and many novels and children's books. In a previous career, she was a historic preservation architecture consultant. Anne lives in Bellingham, Washington. ///////////////////////////////////////////////// SAMPLE Almost any kind of soap will get you clean. But beyond that, what do we look for? There are so many things to consider -- lather, fragrance, color, and effects on the skin, to name just a few. Then there's the whole process of making that soap. Is it easy or tricky? How long does the soap need to age before it's safe and pleasant to use? What additives are beneficial? Which affect the chemistry of the process? How can we get around difficulties? How do you turn soapmaking into a business, if that's what you want? This almanac started life as a monthly "magazine" posted on my web site, where I shared projects, experiments, and investigations I took up between writing my first three books on soap and lotion making. There was a lot that never got into the books! Along with practical questions, I gave some attention to the social and cultural side of soap -- to attitudes and prejudices and myths. I'm fascinated by soap advertising and its claims, and by the history of the daily process of cleaning ourselves, our homes, and our clothing. All of that says a lot about where we've been, and maybe something about where we're going. I'm glad now to offer all this in the more enduring form of an almanac -- something to keep in your collection of soapmaking references. Before we start, though, here are just a few practical notes: Most important, this is not a beginning soapmaker's "how-to" book. It contains many recipes, but they're mostly just ingredients lists, because I assume you already know how to make soap. If you do need basic directions, please see one or more of my other books -- especially "Smart Soapmaking" and "Milk Soapmaking" -- or any other reputable resource.

Getting old isn't as easy as most people think. Claire Wilson shares her clear-eyed wonder and goodwill in this collection of stories and poems about the often touching, sometimes humorous, issues and people in and around her retirement community.

Welcome Back to ZondrellWhen the world changes in the blink of an eye, some run and hide.Others fight back. As the fate of the great city of Zondrell - and perhaps all of M'Gistryn - spirals out of control, there are few brave souls left. But even in the face of internal strife, unknown magic, legendary monsters, or even the gods themselves, they will not submit, for they are the last hope for the future. Transcendence is the story of what happens when everyday people choose to become extraordinary. In this final installment of the Chronicles of M'Gistryn trilogy, the characters explore beyond the mortal realm and venture toward understanding the very nature of magic, their world, and what makes them human.About the AuthorDr. Anastasia Trekles is an instructional designer, educator, and animal welfare volunteer in the Northwest Indiana region. While she might not have graduated from the Zondrell Magic Academy, she has spent a fair amount of time around schools, as well as technology and all things science fiction and fantasy. The world of M'Gistryn is a world completely her own, but she can trace her inspiration to everything from Final Fantasy to Star Wars, from Harry Potter to the Sopranos, from Ancient Rome to feudal Europe, and from Christianity to Buddhism. There is much more to M'Gistryn than magic and prophecies - it's a world full of real people, struggling with real situations and real emotions. In her debut novel, Core, she explores issues of war, coming of age, and the fulfillment of our life's purpose. As the story continues in Ascent, her characters are faced with the intricacies of a city in chaos, a place where philosophies clash, questions abound, and intrigue lurks around every corner. In Transcendence, their perspectives expand even further, into the deeper mysteries that connect each and every living thing in M'Gistryn.

Magic runs strong in me, but power isn't enough.Magic confers an unnatural beauty on everyone with talent. Everyone except me, that is. I'm a witch, to be sure. No doubt about my birthright. When I was young, Mother hid me away until I was old enough to hold a glamour to conceal my flaws.And hold it I did for many a long year until I grew sick of siphoning off that amount of magic on something stupid. I was a valued Coven member. Surely, they'd accept me. And my wolfie familiar. All witches have them, except most are cats or birds. Something small, manageable.Eh. Getting off track here. The unpleasant truth was the moment I sloughed my glamour, the council held an emergency meeting. The next day, I was out on the streets. They booted wolfie along with me.No more home. No more sisterhood. Hah. What a joke all those of years of bonhomie turned out to be. If I sound bitter, darned right I am. Bitter and moving forward.I'll show them if it's the last thing I do.

Secrets of the Moon reveals a Moon that is often different from the one we think we know. We typically underestimate its importance in our lives. Very few things are linked to such a wide and diverse net of concepts and beliefs. No matter what those beliefs are, the Moon plays a role in shoring up our reality. Learning about the Moon is a chance to learn about ourselves and our world from an unbiased point of view, and that is Moon's biggest secret of all. The book is divided into sixty short sections, which are grouped into thirteen chapters and five parts. Each section tells a different story about the Moon and usually address one of two key questions: How did the Moon become so subtly influential in our lives and more importantly why is the Moon so essential to all life of Earth. Together, they form a collection of afterthoughts that will give us pause the next time we look up at the Moon. Perhaps we'll see it differently. Perhaps we'll see ourselves differently. Ultimately that is up to the reader. Secrets of the Moon will only challenge those ideas that we are ready to face. Ultimately, the Moon you see is the one you choose to see, but if you are looking to ground a personal philosophy into something you can find nearly every night of the year, Secrets of the Moon might help.

He believed that by focusing one's thoughts and imagination on a specific outcome, one could bring that outcome into reality. "The Power of Awareness" emphasizes the importance of being present in the moment and maintaining a positive and optimistic outlook in order to harness the power of the mind and create the life one desires.

Rachid Hachi, écrivain et poète prolifique djiboutien, a su imaginer une histoire de passion entre deux êtres, avec tous les obstacles opposants des clans, des ethnies, des religions, de grands peuples africains ! Une description sans excès du Djibouti actuel, ses soucis, ses faiblesses structurelles. Il a rajouté une séparation dramatique, donnant ainsi une justification à Dieu et aux règles morales de la société contemporaine djiboutienne actuelle, mais avec un défi final, prolongé au-delà de la mort...Une belle histoire d'amour où tout est impossible et qui pourrait devenir l'équivalent d'un Roméo et Juliette africain au nom de la passion, la vraie celle qui franchit tous les obstacles en son nom. Une histoire poignante ouvrant pudiquement la confrontation de plusieurs coutumes dans un Djibouti avec un pied dans l'Afrique des ethnies et dans une modernité qui se cherche...
