<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I used Ultracal 30 for the life mask and I can’t recall if I use that or the White Hydrocal for the mold. None the less my mold ended up breaking in half while I was trying to release it from the gelatin I poured. Bummer...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">For the release agent I used 2 coats of car wax on the life mask and I used 1 coat of shellac on the negative side of the mold before I poured in the melted gelatin product. Both were suggested in the Dick Smiths booklet. I thought I’d try each one to see the difference.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The gelatin came right off of the life cast that I used the wax on . But the shellacked side was awful. It took lots of powder and about 2 hours to get it out of the mold! After having to finally jut rip his nose off I realize that I didn't get the shellac applied well enough into the deep crevices... I guess.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I used all the gelatin that I had but it wasn't enough for my project. So next time I’ll order extra. Also after looking over my progress photo here I see now that the original clay sculpt was still stuck in the exact place's I had a trouble getting the gelatin out of resulting in having to rip his nose off! Maybe this is what is meant buy “undercuts”? </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">I
don't remember who originally wrote the but it’s a really good thought:</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The
first thing to do is be realistic about what you can and can not do. Are you
gearing yourself up for the kind of event that only a woman working full-time
inside the home for months could pull off? Unfortunately, there are hundreds of
“ideal” images planted in our brains showing how great family holidays should
be. They show us how they should look, taste, and even make us feel. Realize
that you do not have to live up to the lofty ideas portrayed by television
shows, movies, and magazines that depict an idealized vision of the season.
It’s OK.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>

thought:</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Many
women make the mistake of neglecting their own health and personal needs during
the busy holiday season (or all year for that matter). You will find that if
you take the time to eat a healthful diet, exercise, and just sit and relax
once in awhile, you will be more energized.
Your body will be stronger and healthier and will reflect beautiful
hair, skin and nails. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Remember <u>YOU</u>
are <b>#1</b></span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You
may think your kids and family are the most important and that they are
“#1”. Actually YOU are “#1”. If you get
sick, mentally or physically, then who will take care of those very important
kids and family members? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

and surrender to the magic of the season. Let good enough be good enough. Put your
precious energy into enjoying time by yourself and with the people who matter
most to your heart. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Here are a few practice examples of 3 of 16 lessons. It's rare to find good education where I live. Usually I have to take 3 to 5 days off of work, fly to a bigger city and get a hotel which ends up costing SO much! Online is the perfect solution!<br />

<td style="font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 10pt; padding-top: 15px;" valign="top">I have found that there is only one thing that heals every problem,
and that is: to love yourself. When people start to love themselves more each
day, it's amazing how their lives get better. They feel better. They get the
jobs they want. They have the money they need. Their relationships either
improve, or the negative ones dissolve and new ones begin. <br /><br />Loving
yourself is a wonderful adventure; it's like learning to fly. Imagine if we all
had the power to fly at will? How exciting it would be! Let's begin to love
ourselves now. <br /><br />Here are 12 Commandments to help you learn how to love
yourself: <br /><br /><strong>Stop All Criticism.</strong><br />Criticism never
changes a thing. Refuse to criticize yourself. Accept yourself exactly as you
are. Everybody changes. When you criticize yourself, your changes are negative.
When you approve of yourself, your changes are positive. <br /><br /><strong>Forgive
Yourself.</strong><br />Let the past go. You did the best you could at the time
with the understanding, awareness, and knowledge that you had. Now you are
growing and changing, and you will live life differently. <br /><br /><strong>Don't
Scare Yourself.</strong><br />Stop terrorizing yourself with your thoughts. It's a
dreadful way to live. Find a mental image that gives you pleasure, and
immediately switch your scary thought to a pleasure thought. <br /><br /><strong>Be
Gentle and Kind and Patient.</strong><br />Be gentle with yourself. Be kind to
yourself. Be patient with yourself as you learn the new ways of thinking. Treat
yourself as you would someone you really loved. <br /><br /><strong>Be Kind to Your
Mind.</strong><br />Self-hatred is only hating your own thoughts. Don't hate
yourself for having the thoughts. Gently change your thoughts.
<br /><br /><strong>Praise Yourself.</strong><br />Criticism breaks down the inner
spirit. Praise builds it up. Praise yourself as much as you can. Tell yourself
how well you are doing with every little thing. <br /><br /><strong>Support
Yourself.</strong><br />Find ways to support yourself. Reach out to friends and
allow them to help you. It is being strong to ask for help when you need it.
<br /><br /><strong>Be Loving to Your Negatives.</strong><br />Acknowledge that you
created them to fulfill a need. Now you are finding new, positive ways to
fulfill those needs. So lovingly release the old negative patterns.
<br /><br /><strong>Take Care of Your Body.</strong><br />Learn about nutrition. What
kind of fuel does your body need in order to have optimum energy and vitality?
Learn about exercise. What kind of exercise do you enjoy? Cherish and revere the
temple you live in. <br /><br /><strong>Do Mirror Work.</strong><br />Look into your
eyes often. Express this growing sense of love you have for yourself. Forgive
yourself while looking into the mirror. Talk to your parents while looking into
the mirror. Forgive them, too. At least once a day, say, "I love you, I really
love you!" <br /><br /><strong>Love Yourself... Do It Now.</strong><br />Don't wait
until you get well, or lose the weight, or get the new job, or find the new
relationship. Begin now—and do the best you can. <br /><br /><strong>Have
Fun.</strong><br />Remember the things that gave you joy as a child. Incorporate
them into your life now. Find a way to have fun with everything you do. Let
yourself express the joy of living. Smile. Laugh. Rejoice, and the Universe
rejoices with you! </td></tr>

Being part of Vivienne's team has enriched my life and my career in so many great
ways! It all began about 2 years ago when I signed up for a month’s membership
with HDTV I was so excited to discover HDTV because at that time the lack of
continued education for our industry was such a shame especially locally here
in Kansas! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had been in the hairstyling
business for nearly 30 years and was starving for new information and new
ideas. Because of all the valuable </span><span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">training and education</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";"> that I've received from Vivienne and HairDesignerTV
I am ready to go into my next 30 years as a hairstylist full of inspiration,
information, creativity and confidence and I want to share it with everyone! It’s
true that when we discover something really neat we just want to stand on the
highest building and tell the whole world so as an Ambassador for Hair Designer
TV I want to tell everyone and help motivate as many hairstylists out there who
love this industry and help to stir up their passion for their career just as I
was inspired by Vivienne to re-ignite the passion in my career!</span></div>

<br /><strong>INGREDIENTS: </strong><br />
<span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">- 1 box Red Velvet Cake Mix <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #1f497d;">(Becci’s notes will be in blue: I like "Moist Deluxe")</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">- 2 eggs</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">- 1/3 cup of oil</span><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">For FROSTING:</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">- 4 oz softened cream cheese</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">- 1/4 cup room temperature butter</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">- 1 tsp heavy cream</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">- 1 tsp vanilla</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">- 2 cups powdered sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">This is so easy… seriously! First preheat your oven to 375 degrees!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">1. Grab the cake mix, eggs, and oil. Add them all to your bowl/stand mixer and beat until combined. IF you want, you can sift the cake mix to make sure you don’t get any mix lumps! <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #1f497d;">(I sifted and was not sorry for taking the extra time).</span></b></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #1f497d;"></span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: 10.5pt;"> 2. Using a scoop (my scoop gives about 1 tablespoon or so), start dividing up your cookies. Scoop and roll in the palms of your hands to shape and smooth. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #1f497d;">(Although the dough isn’t as sticky as I thought it would be I still I smeared a touch of cooking oil in my tablespoon measuring spoon and kept my hands a little oiled to keep the stickiness under control better.)</span></b></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"></b><br />
3. Place each one on a baking sheet. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #1f497d;">(The original recipe didn’t say if it was on a greased or ungreased cookie sheet so I used parchment paper).</span></b><br />
4. Bake in the oven at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes. I like my cookies slightly under done so I take them out at 9 minutes, no more, no less! <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #1f497d;">(My oven was perfect at the full 10 minutes).</span></b> It's actually pretty easy to tell when these guys are close to done since the tops of them WILL crack, some more than others! <br />
5. Let them cool slightly on a wire rack and in the meantime, make your frosting! You could totally cheat here and use a tub of pre made stuff too... I promise, I won't tell :) <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #1f497d;">(Next time I’ll use the boxed mix but I’m going to use Grandma Jeanne’s frosting which I’ll add the recipe at the end here).</span></b><br />
6. Cream butter and cream cheese together until light and fluffy and combined. Add vanilla and cream. Then slowly add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #1f497d;">(I just used a good ole fashion spoon to mix this).</span></b><br />
7. Ok set that aside for a minute... now it's time to make your cut outs! You could really use any cookie cutter, but try and find ones that are less than 3/4" or so! I chose hearts because, well, it just goes with the red cookies :) I got these at Michael's, right in the baking/cake decorating aisle! <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #1f497d;">(I used a washed and dried hair spray lid to make circles!)</span></b><br />
8. Divide cookies up into pairs. They should all be similar in size if you used a scoop or spoon to measure, but the oven may have made them a little "off"! I think I got 24 cookies, so I got to make 12 sandwiches! Take the "tops" of each cookie and cut out away! <br />
9. OK back to doing something productive right? Grab the other "half" of your cookie sandwich and turn it over. This should be a more flat surface! Grab some of your frosting and plop it right down in the center. Smooth it out towards the edges slightly. Not too far out though since once you place the top on it will spread even more.<br />
10. Grab the tops of your cookie and place it right on top!<br />

The first row is the actual lesson that I followed. Then after I got that finished I thought I'd loosen it up a bit for a softer look. The Holland Style is a beautiful classic look that can be adjusted to fit any personality. I love the contrast of exact same style!<br />

YEA!This morning I woke up feeling not so good. I hate it when this happens because I have absolutely no reason to feel so f-ed up in my head! I have such a great family, I have a nice home a new car, I love my hairdressing studio, I am on a prestigious hairdressing team with HDTV, I'm healthy - so what on earth do I have to be so upset over?! My doctor says "now that you're getting older you need to get ready for the hormone roller coaster ride, it's going to be a doozy!" (What an idiot). Anyway, this morning I decided to try to chill out and go into Internet world and try not to think too deeply about stuff. I got my morning cup of coffee and sat down to check my Google+ messages. First post in my stream was from Tom Anderson. He shared this extremely moving video of Steve Jobs speech at Stanford U! I doubt it will stop my mid-life mood swings but hey it helped tremendously today! Please take the time to listen to his words. It's about 14 minutes and so worth it!<b> Remember just how much control we really do have with our lives!</b> <br />

Although "Wilfred" is super funny, and South Park re-runs are freakin' hilarious they just don't do much on giving us the knowledge we deserve. It's about having a balance right? </div>

So grab a tall glass of ice water, put your comfy clothes on and enjoy Jamie sharing powerful stories from his anti-obesity project in Huntington, W. Va., TED Prize winner Jamie Oliver makes the case for an all-out assault on our ignorance of food.<br /> </div>

<strong>Look at your child and tell me they don't deserve to know how to be healthy. </strong></div>

TED is a nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader and the content has expanded to include science, business, the arts and the global issues facing our world. <a href="http://www.ted.com/">http://www.ted.com/</a></div>

Actor Thandie Newton tells the story of finding her "otherness" -- first, as a child growing up in two distinct cultures, and then as an actor playing with many different selves. A warm, wise talk, fresh from stage at TEDGlobal 2011.<br />
