the reason that you are feeling a pricking itching sensation on your face is not because of the minerals moving around on your face but because of the naturals sunscreen, titanium oxide. some people notice that pricking sensation when they are in the heat or sweating, it will go away after a short time. i experienced this same thing for a short time but i cannot tell you the last time that i felt that and i live where the temperature is commonly over 100 degrees and it is constantly humid. i have been using the makeup for awhile now and could never switch to anything else. i have even tried the avon mineral makeup and it is very thick and cakes easliy. bare minerals is one of the only true mineral makeups and has been around the longest.

Thanks everyone. I don't have any road trips planned, though I will no doubt be wearing a path to Urbana, IL where my son is attending the U of I. I only got one gift certificate, from my son for Borders. And since I just happen to have a 40 % off coupon for a book, I'll be going there to acquire a new cookbook for my collection. Any suggestions? I did get the Wii Fit from my husband, as well as Wii Cheer, Wii Music, and Jillian Michaels Fitness Challenge. My son is leaving me his Wii when he goes back to school, and tomorrow he is going to show me how to use it. I also got the new Alan Jackson album. I may be over 40 now, but my presents look like they were meant for a teenager. LOL! Joanne

I've cooked ham exactly once but can say everyone, including me, raved. This recipe is not from the internet, but rather from the world wide web: City Ham Recipe courtesy Alton Brown 1 city style (brined) ham, hock end 1/4 cup brown mustard 2 cups dark brown sugar 1-ounce bourbon (poured into a spritz bottle) 2 cups crushed ginger snap cookies Heat oven to 250 degrees F. Remove ham from bag, rinse and drain thoroughly. Place ham, cut side down, in a roasting pan. Using a small paring knife or clean utility knife set to the smallest blade setting, score the ham from bottom to top, spiraling clockwise as you cut. (If you're using a paring knife, be careful to only cut through the skin and first few layers of fat). Rotate the ham after each cut so that the scores are no more than 2-inches across. Once you've made it all the way around, move the knife to the other hand and repeat, spiraling counter clockwise. The aim is to create a diamond pattern all over the ham. (Don't worry too much about precision here.) Tent the ham with heavy duty foil, insert a thermometer, and cook for 3 to 4 hours or until the internal temperature at the deepest part of the meat registers 130 degrees F. Remove and use tongs to pull away the diamonds of skin and any sheets of fat that come off with them. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Dab dry with paper towels, then brush on a liberal coat of mustard, using either a basting brush or a clean paint brush (clean as in never-touched paint). Sprinkle on brown sugar, packing loosely as you go until the ham is coated. Spritz this layer lightly with bourbon, then loosely pack on as much of the crushed cookies as you can. Insert the thermometer (don't use the old hole) and return to the oven (uncovered). Cook until interior temperature reaches 140 degrees F, approximately 1 hour. Let the roast rest for 1/2 hour before carving. Here is a link that might be useful: food network link

The "F51" Rotor Position Sensor error code affects the following Cabrio models: MTW6300T, MTW6500T, MTW6600T, WTW6200S, WTW6300S, WTW6400S, WTW6600S only if the serial number range is is CU13 or prior. Any Cabrio with a serial number after CU13 has a redesigned (reprogrammed) electronic control. This new control is designed to check the RPS sensor differently and is less sensitive to intermittent RPS connections which cause the "F51" error. Is it a permanent fix? Only time will tell. I own a Cabrio 6600 with a serial number greater than CU13 and have not experienced the error. The whole problem stems from corrosion that sometimes forms on some connections to the RPS sensor. A more permanent fix, in my opinion, would have been to redesign the connectors so that they don't corrode. But in this day and age it is much easier to mask most electronic issues by changing the software to make you believe the problem doesn't exist. Anyhow, the Cabrio does a great job and I really like it. My last washer (a Maytag) lasted 25 years. I think we can all forget about the "newer" machines lasting even 1/3 of that time. Just my $0.02, YMMV.
