A.--You cannot make true soap without using lye. And here is just one of the magnificent things that happens when the lye mixes with the oils to make soap (this is called saponification). During the soapmaking process, a wonderful change takes place....glycerin is made! And once the saponification process is finished and you have soap, THE LYE NO LONGER EXISTS! This is where glycerin comes from, and just one of the many things that make homemade cold process soap so wonderful.

A.--Lye (sodium hydroxide) is a very caustic substance commonly used to clear out drains from your sink, bathtub, etc. But it is crucial for making quality soaps, and when used in soapmaking, it disappears! Read on....

Yes, we do use lye in our soap making process. We use sodium hydroxide in our soaps ? All soaps (excluding detergent bars, which are totally synthetic and chemical laden) are made with lye but no lye is left in the finished soap. Our soaps are balanced so the chemical reaction has the correct amounts of both lye and oil for a balanced reaction. The result is that our soap is very close to neutral.

I haven't cut supplements out totally, although IMO a lot of people tend to over-supplement. This was something Billinghurst suggested too at a recent seminar here, and he mentioned that he only supplements his own dogs every now and again. I think if you are providing a good varied diet you will be providing pretty much what your dog needs - all in a highly bio-available form. My first preference when looking to a certain vitamin/mineral will always be to provide it in its natural form first.

Yes, the steadiest hand is not nearly as steady as a tripod. Using a tripod is especially important for product photography since product shots often use slow shutter speeds. An inexpensive tripod will produce clearer product shots than a shot taken with a hand-held camera. But a sturdy tripod is a good investment that will last for many years. To completely eliminate motion blur from your images, we recommend you go a step further and use your camera's self timer or remote control.

Each oil is assigned a value that is used to determine the amount of lye it will take to turn it into soap or "saponify". If you are crafting soap with 3-4 different oil ingredients, each oil will have its own value. Once the total values have been determined for each oil, they are subsequently added together for the total amount of lye you will use in your formulation.

Swiftpro provides comprehensive documentation for CVPlus Visual, which is available online. However, training is highly recommended to ensure you gain maximum value from the software in terms of time-savings and process efficiencies from the moment of installation.

Toner is one of the most under rated products on the market. Hormeta toners are different than most. Our toners are designed to complete the cleansing process but it also prepares the skin to except all other Hormeta products such as creams, serums etc.

Yes. Regular use of facial masks for your skin type and condition keeps your skin toned, just like regular exercise keeps your body in shape.

A No. Your favourite shampoo and conditioner is fine and you're free to use normal hairsprays and styling products. Like most hairdressers, we wouldn't recommend you use a "2 in 1" shampoo and conditioner. We do supply an inexpensive aftercare spray which helps to keep the fibre in your style looking fresh and tangle free - however, its use is by no means compulsory.

Ultimately the goal of operating a fish counters is to achieve the highest levels of performance and reliability regardless of counter type. Ideally the goal would be that 100% of all fish movements are counted, however, under varying environmental conditions a level of error must realistically be expected. CCTV validation of counter sites allows the operator the opportunity to assess, reduce and monitor this level of error.

Yes, the use of indoor tanning lotions will provide the three essentials of effective tanning: hydration, nutrition, and oxygenation. Skin must be hydrated to reach and maintain the desired tan. Dry, neglected skin reflects UV light and exfoliates much faster. The natural, vitamin rich products sold at Dolphin Beach are fundamental to the skin's appearance and ability to tan. Vitamins replenish necessary nutrition to skin cells, promoting cell regeneration and oxygenation.

A:They are made with 50/50 goat's milk with water. In other words, if the recipe calls for 16 ounces of water, 8 ounces of goat's milk is used.

Aston is known to run on old Pentium I computers wit 32 Mb RAM without any speed penalty (in this case you might need to switch to some basic Themes like Aston Desktop, as modern ones require more computing power). No similar program of that kind shows such results. You can enable or disable certain shell functions in order to reach balance between speed and appearance/additional functionality, but in any case Aston won't slow your computer down.

You generally cannot make bar soap at home without lye. Lye is not your enemy... it's a fallacy to think you can make soap without it (or some other caustic base substance to turn the fat molecules into soap compounds). Correctly made and cured homemade soap is milder than anything you can buy... even those fancy clear glycerin bars. Don't let the lye thing put you off. I think some of the marketers our there who claim their soap has no lye have confused the public.

You may know that you can also use potassium hydroxide (the more common chem. to use), also known as Lye to make biodiesel, but it is extremely hazardous for the person using it as well as the environment (if not handle appropriately). We've found that using potassium chloride, which is Potash an ingredient in fertilizers, is much safer (for both handler and the environment) and does just as good or better job of it. It's also biodegradable. It's also cheaper and easier to find.

A1: yes! i love mine. with the grinder attachment, i turned my p11 into a p32 in only one day! go for it. A2: of course. how in the hell else are you going to fix your dremel if it breaks on you, sherlock? just buy one and quite whinin' about it. A3: come on, man... you'll LIKE it. everyone ELSE is doing it. you want to be part of the GROUP, don't you?? c'mon... A1: naw... they suck. they're junk -- total waste of money. every one of us is a dickless loser.

A : Children who use IM (Instant Messaging) to stay in touch with friends are at risk of being contacted by strangers who could turn out to be Internet predators or bullies. Children can be contacted by unknown people in Instant Messaging if the stranger manages to get their email address from someone else. Internet predators are very skilled at initiating relationships with young people online.

No, the fish are scavengers and can generally live off of anything the find in the pond, including the algae.? On the other hand, if you want to see your fish grow in any significant way or if your pond is heavily stocked with fish, you will need to feed them. Give them no more than what they can gobble down in five minutes.? Excess food creates more nutrients that can encourage algae growth, causing more work for you. More fish care resources.

A - Yes we do. Most items ship directly from the manufacture. Since we are a computer based company via email is the only way you will receive a receipt for your order. If you don't receive a copy of this email, usually its in your spam folder, you can log into your account, and then print a copy from your computer. In addition, some vendors will email you the tracking information when an item is shipped. Your email will never be sold or used for anything outside of business for lights2you.com.

Lye is used to make the soap, but there is no lye in the soap. Lye is the catalyst that changes all the fats and oils-whether animal or vegetable based--into soap. When handcrafted soap is properly made and cured, the soap no longer contains lye. The chemical reaction that it goes through--called saponification--has converted the alkali (lye), water, and oils and fats into saponified oils and fats and glycerin.

SOAP CANNOT BE MADE WITHOUT LYE. If someone is trying to tell you differently, they are either greatly misinformed or quite simply, they're lying. Many soaps found in stores today are not soaps at all. They are considered detergents. Read the ingredients on a bar of store bought soap. Most things can't even be pronounced and often they contain chemicals that allow the company to manufacture a cheaper bar, thus, raising their profit margin.
