If you choose to use a private CA you will need to generate your own certificates for your applications to use. The OpenSSL project provides free command-line utilities for setting up a private CA, creating signed certificates, and adding the CA to your Java keystore.
You can download the OpenSSL utilities from http://openssl.org/.
This section describes using the OpenSSL command-line utilities to create certificates. Further documentation of the OpenSSL command-line utilities can be obtained at http://www.openssl.org/docs.
To create your own CA and certificates:
Add the OpenSSL
directory to your path.Create your own private CA.
Create the directory structure for the CA.
The directory structure should be:
is the name of the CA's home directory.X509CA
Copy the
file from your OpenSSL installation to your
Open your copy of
in a text editor.Edit the
section to look like Example 2.Example 2. OpenSSL Configuration
############################################################# [ CA_default ] dir =
# Where CA files are kept certs = $dir/certs # Where issued certs are kept crl_dir = $dir/crl # Where the issued crl are kept database = $dir/index.txt # Database index file new_certs_dir = $dir/newcerts # Default place for new certs certificate = $dir/ca/new_ca.pem # The CA certificate serial = $dir/serial # The current serial number crl = $dir/crl.pem # The current CRL private_key = $dir/ca/new_ca_pk.pem # The private key RANDFILE = $dir/ca/.rand # Private random number file x509_extensions = usr_cert # The extensions to add to the cert ...Tip You might decide to edit other details of the OpenSSL configuration at this point. For more details, see the OpenSSL documentation.
Initialize the CA database as described in CA database files.
Create a new self-signed CA certificate and private key with the command:
openssl req -x509 -new -config
/openssl.cfg -days 365 -outX509CA
/ca/new_ca.pem -keyoutX509CA
/ca/new_ca_pk.pemYou are prompted for a pass phrase for the CA private key and details of the CA distinguished name as shown in Example 3.
Example 3. Creating a CA Certificate
Using configuration from
/openssl.cfg Generating a 1024 bit RSA private key ....+++++ .+++++ writing new private key to 'new_ca_pk.pem' Enter PEM pass phrase: Verifying password - Enter PEM pass phrase: ----- You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated into your certificate request. What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN. There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank. For some fields there will be a default value, If you enter '.', the field will be left blank. ----- Country Name (2 letter code) []:IE
State or Province Name (full name) []:
Co. Dublin
Locality Name (eg, city) []:
Organization Name (eg, company) []:
Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:
Common Name (eg, YOUR name) []:
Gordon Brown
Email Address []:
Note The security of the CA depends on the security of the private key file and the private key pass phrase used in this step.
You must ensure that the file names and location of the CA certificate and private key,
, are the same as the values specified inopenssl.cfg
during Step 2.d.
Create signed certificates in a Java keystore.
Generate a certificate and private key pair using the keytool -genkeypair command.
For details on the options to use when using keytool -genkeypair see Generate a certificate and private key pair.
Create a certificate signing request using the keystore -certreq command.
Example 4 creates a new certificate signing request for the
certificate and exports it to thefusesample_csr.pem
file.Example 4. Creating a CSR
keytool -certreq -alias fuse -file fusesample_csr.pem -keypass fusepass -keystore fusesample.jks -storepass fusestorepass
Sign the CSR using the openssl ca command.
You will prompted to enter the CA private key pass phrase you used when creating the CA in Step 2.f).
See Signing a CSR for details on the options to use when signing the CSR.
Convert the signed certificate to PEM only format using the openssl x509 command with the
option set toPEM
.Example 5 converts the signed certificate
.Example 5. Converting a Signed Certificate to PEM
openssl x509 -in fusesigned.pem -out fusesigned.pem -outform PEM
Concatenate the CA certificate file and the converted, signed certificate file to form a certificate chain.
The CA certificate file is stored in the CA's
directory. For example, the certificate file for the CA created in Step 2.f would beca/new_ca.pem
.Import the new certificate's full certificate chain into the Java keystore using the keytool -import command.
Example 6 imports the chain
into thefusesample.jks
keystore.Example 6. Importing a Certificate Chain
keytool -import -file fusesample.chain -keypass fusepass -keystore fusesample.jks -storepass fusestorepass
Repeat Step 3 to create a full set of certificates for your system.
Add trusted CAs to your Java trust store.
Assemble the collection of trusted CA certificates that you want to deploy.
The trusted CA certificates can be obtained from public CAs or private CAs. The trusted CA certificates can be in any format that is compatible with the Java keystore utility; for example, PEM format. All you need are the certificates themselves—the private keys and passwords are not required.
Add a CA certificate to the trust store using the keytool -import command.
Example 7 adds the CA certificate
, in PEM format, to a JKS trust store.Example 7. Adding a CA to the Trust Store
keytool -import -file cacert.pem -alias CAAlias -keystore truststore.ts -storepass StorePass
is a keystore file containing CA certificates. If this file does not already exist, the keytool command creates one.StorePass
is the password required to access the keystore file.Repeat Step 5.b to add all of the CA certificates to the trust store.
The CA uses two files, serial
and index.txt
to maintain its database of certificate files. Both files must be stored in the
When you first create your CA the OpenSSL tools require that they have very specific initial contents:
The initial contents of this file must be
Initially this file must be completely empty. It cannot even contain white space.
To generate a certificate and private key pair you use the
keytool -genkeypair command. For example,
Example 8 creates a certificate and key pair that are
valid for 365 days and is stored in the keystore file fusesample.jks
. The
generated key store entry will use the alias fuse
and the password
Example 8. Creating a Certificate and Private Key using Keytool
keytool -genkeypair -dname "CN=Alice, OU=Engineering, O=Progress, ST=Co. Dublin, C=IE" -validity 365 -alias fuse -keypass fusepass -keystore fusesample.jks -storepass fusestorepass
Because the specified keystore, fusessample.jks
, did not exist
prior to issuing the command implicitly creates a new keystore and sets its password to
The -dname
and -validity
flags define the contents of
the newly created X.509 certificate.
The -dname
flag specifies the subject DN. For more details about DN
format, see Appendix A. Some parts of the subject DN must match the values in
the CA certificate (specified in the CA Policy section of the
file). The default openssl.cfg
requires the following entries to match:
Country Name (C)
State or Province Name (ST)
Organization Name (O)
Note | |
If you do not observe the constraints, the OpenSSL CA will refuse to sign the certificate (see Step 2.f ). |
The -validity
flag specifies the number of days for which the
certificate is valid.
To sign a CSR using your CA, you use the openssl ca command. At a minimum you will need to specify the following options:
—the path to the CA'sopenssl.cfg
—the path to certificate to be signed-out
—the path to the signed certificates
Example 9 signs the fusesample_csr.pem
certificate using the CA stored at /etc/fuseCA
Example 9. Signing a CSR
openssl ca -config /etc/fuse/openssl.cfg -days 365 -in fusesample_csr.pem -out fusesigned.pem
For more details on the openssl ca command see http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/ca.html#.

Sensational Shortcuts and Tips from a Copywriting Expert
It used to be that we could usefully add content to our sites simply by writing a large volume of articles, each optimized for the keywords of our choice.
Not any more.
In a post-Panda world, in addition to applying our optimization and link building skills, we now have to focus more on quality, and a little less on quantity.
As if that weren't enough of a shift, we also have to factor in the fast-growing influence of social media.
Our new content needs to be highly shareable.
Shareable content not only gets us in front of new readers, but also helps generate strong social signals to improve our search engine results.
This means taking a whole new look at how we create and publish our web content pages.
For years, businesses have been using free content to drive traffic to their websites and put money in their pockets.
These days, free content can come in the form of e-books, articles, podcasts, blogs, webinars, or newsletters ... the list goes on and on. The bottom line is: people love to get something for free.
Creating useful, keyword rich content is by far the best marketing tool for building trust with potential customers. The more high quality "free stuff" you give people, the more they'll want to associate with you - and maybe even do business with you.
Yet, you don't want to bombard your readers with a bunch of fluff. You've got to serve up high quality content - stuff they'll find useful. Do that right and you'll create a gold mine.
"But I don't know what to write about!"
If the thought of writing content makes your hair stand on end, you're not alone. That's why we've teamed up with copywriting superstar Nick Usborne to publish the e-book: "101 Web Content Ideas, Tips and Resources."
It's As Easy As It Sounds
You no longer need to let your website be boring, with bland, stale text—or spend $$$s on outside writing help. Now you can serve up original and engaging content all on your own...
- Discover how to find out what your readers really want to know
- Understand how to mix up your posts with video, images and audio
- Learn tips and tricks to get more readers to link to your articles
- Improve your content by paying attention to trending topics on social media
- Find out how to use social media tools to root out topic ideas
- Learn how to piggy back on breaking news stories to get more web traffic
- Uncover how to use reader feedback to improve your writing
- Reveal secrets for optimizing content for search engines AND social media
- Learn how to monitor which articles get the most clicks and shares
- Read examples of successful content that continues to get traffic long-term
- Get tips for becoming an industry expert
- Discover insights into writing more of what you love
Using specific examples and screenshots, Nick provides tips and practical suggestions that you can put into play immediately. The ideas are broken down into 14 sections. Read them straight through, or skip around as you like.
Your Sneak Peek Inside the Book
Tame, tedious content doesn't attract sales. All too often we do our keyword research, identify a topic and keyword and then set about writing an article or two.
Certainly, this is the easiest and most cost-effective way to create new content, but it also takes you down the slippery path of creating low value content. Instead of just publishing more and more articles, you've got to offer the valuable, in-demand content that readers want.
Nick shows you how to:
• conduct original research - simply and easily
• write Q&A pages to develop a community around your site
• create checklists for just about any topic
• use charts, diagrams and infographics as a fast and simple way to communicate information
By the end of this chapter, you will know how to add more community, more loyalty - and a ton more traffic.
Today, multimedia has become a hugely important element of content simply because so much of it is shareable with just one or two clicks.
In other words, you get to add value to the page, but also increase the chances it will be shared through social media.
In Chapter 2, Nick gives examples of great tools and widgets that can help you create variety and interest on your site. Most of these are free - so you can start using them right away.
A few years ago there was something to be said for creating evergreen content, all of the time. Those pages tended to attract traffic over the long term.
However, in a world dominated by social media, people's attention is focusing more on more what is happening today, this hour, and right now.
As a result, as content creators, we have to mix it up a bit more – creating both evergreen content and timely content.
After reading this chapter, you'll know how to use real-time content, seasonal trends and news stories to get more traffic to your website.
The last few years has seen an explosion in the number of services you can use to identify popular or trending topics.
Some have been developed by the major search engines, while others have been created more recently, riding on all the data created by social media.
All of these tools give you an opportunity to better understand what our readers are looking for - and what they're sharing. You'll get great insights into any topic or business area.
SEO was king for a long time. Then along came social media. And now we are at the point where both are converging.
Google and Bing are now factoring in social signals from Facebook and Twitter when ranking pages in the search results. Put simply, the more play your page gets in social media, the greater the chance it will rise higher in the search results.
In this chapter, Nick highlights the best SEO and social media content discovery tools. Some of these are provided free by the search engines themselves. Others are fee-based, and drawn on search engine and PPC data. All are useful in identifying your next killer page of content.
Even if the term SEO scares you, this chapter provides dummy-proof directions for using SEO and social media to your advantage.
Social media sources are particularly value for a couple of reasons. First, because they are timely, and second, social media data does an amazing job of predicting people's interests and behaviors.
It isn't about guessing what a body of people might do, it is measuring what billions of people are actually doing.
You don't need to hire an expensive market research firm to get fantastic data on your readers and customers. In this chapter Nick shows you how to use YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and more to catch and publish what's "hot" before the moment passes.
Although it is tempting to rely on web-based tools, you'd be amazed what you can learn by stepping away from your computer and interacting with real people.
In this section Nick looks at some of these offline approaches, and how they can help you create better content.
For most of us, writing content is a business. It's our work.
Unfortunately, this often means we revert to "business speak" when writing pages and posts.
Online, this kind of writing rarely engages readers, or encourages them to share.
The web has always been a unique environment in this regard–rewarding those writers who can express themselves in a more personal, emphatic voice. And now, with the rapid growth in social media, the need to use a human, personal voice is more important than ever.
The great break between traditional publishing and marketing, and online publishing and marketing, is based on our capacity and willingness to listen.
Offline, broadcast media is one-way. Online, it's as easy to listen as it is to publish.
Smart companies online have long known that the harder they listen to their readers and customers, the more likely they are to develop a fan base of engaged and enthusiastic readers.
After reading this chapter, you'll be able to improve your listening skills tenfold.
The downside of there being so many content discovery tools online is that we are tempted to become followers.
We look at the data, cleaned from what others have done, choose the best of what we find ... and then create new content. The trouble is, this makes us followers and not leaders.
There is huge value to be had from taking a leadership position and creating an enduring brand with unique and ground-breaking content. In Chapter 10, Nick shares:
• The value of leadership
• How to leverage the generosity economy
• How to brand your content
• Secrets for attracting media attention
Knowing best practices for content writing can help you get a better return - more cash - from the articles you write.
Nick teaches you to think like a journalist. He explains why your first 50 words matter the most. And he shows how to improve your internal links and URLs, and how to help readers share your content.
For all but the smallest websites, you not only need to create content, but also manage the content creation process.
This means formalizing the way you gather and prioritize content ideas, and creating a content calendar, and more.
You'll come away armed with a long-term content plan you can build upon over time.
Offline editorial writers and copywriters have long known that their readers are susceptible to certain psychological and emotional triggers.
Very often these triggers are a hook within the headline of a page of content, created to grab the attention of the reader.
You don't want to exploit these triggers all of the time, but by the end of this chapter you will know how to use emotional triggers to good effect.
As content creators, we often get tied up in creating content aligned with the communications needs of our companies and the demands of SEO.
What we should be doing is spending more time looking at what our readers really want. This doesn't mean ignoring our own communication needs; it simply means presenting that information in a way that matched what our readers are really looking for.
Nick teaches you how to figure out what your readers want and the problems they want to solve.
Nick wraps up with some words of wisdom he's learned from his own writing mistakes and triumphs.

It is encouraging
The 2011 National Fluid Power Association Industry and Economic Outlook Conference is now over. What is the key takeaway in a sentence?
The state of the fluid power economy and the markets that it serves is stable and should continue to be so through at least 2012.
I think that is very encouraging news. In fact, it may take a leap of faith on the part of some fluid power marketers to continue promoting their business but NOW is the time to do so. I order to continue competing in the global and national markets for fluid power components and systems, both manufacturers and distributors need to invest in their present and future.
I thank the NFPA and all of the speakers for their insights into the state of our economies. It is good news.

Batman Irregulars versus Vampire Superman, part five
By blogsphere on March 30, 2011
Our heroes have battled Vampire Superman , and lived to tell the tale – just. As dawn sunlight touched the Undead Son of Krypton he cried out in pain, pleaded for their help, mentioned a cemetery, then flew into the shadows. Now, Metropolis is a big place with a lot of cemeteries, so which one did he mean? One in particular has superhero significance: Valhalla Cemetery. This…

kitchen and bath remodel project!
John Folk and his crew at Spring Creek Builders gave us the opportunity to exchange ideas and explore a variety of options. This open communication gave my husband and I the confidence to accomplish kitchen and bath remodel projects we have been trying to get off the ground for 9 years. John's in-depth knowledge of construction materials and techniques gives him an edge when it comes to offering clients like us creative project options. He patiently explained these options to us as a result, we have a new kitchen and bath that totally exceeded our expectations. John's crew shares the same knowledge, expertise and willingness to talk about options. These talented craftsmen quickly and professionally completed the various facets of our project. We felt we were in good hands throughout the project and had the confidence to know that whatever came up, these skilled professionals would have the knowledge and expertise to take care of anything. Many thanks to John Folk and his talented crew at Spring Creek Builders. Your ideas, craftsmanship and building talent has given us a the kitchen and bath we've always wanted. The Cole Family

Agreed-Upon Procedures for Subcontract
Number S800603, Prime Contract Number TIRNO-99-D-00001
August 2003
Number: 2003-1C-168
This report has cleared the Treasury Inspector General for
Tax Administration disclosure review process and information determined to be
restricted from public release has been redacted from this document.
August 25, 2003
FROM: Daniel R. Devlin /s/ Daniel R. Devlin
Assistant Inspector General
for Audit (Headquarters Operations and
Exempt Organizations Programs)
SUBJECT: Agreed-Upon Procedures for Subcontract
Number S800603, Prime Contract Number TIRNO-99-D-00001 (Audit #200310002.042)
In response to
your request, the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) applied agreed-upon
procedures to verify costs incurred by the subcontractor, under subcontract number S800603 (originally
802798), under prime contract number TIRNO-99-D-00001 from April 1, 1999,
through March 31, 2000. The purpose of
the engagement was to determine whether the accounting records adequately
support the subcontractor's claimed costs on Government contracts. The report pertains only to the performance
of agreed-upon procedures. The DCAA did
not perform an examination and, therefore, does not express an opinion.
The DCAA
disclosed that the subcontractor's claimed costs are based on fixed labor rates
for the time and materials contract multiplied by labor hours expended on the
contract plus travel costs. The DCAA
verified the labor rates and hours and found no exceptions. Additionally, the DCAA verified the
subcontractor's travel costs to the subcontractor's books and records.
information in this report should not be used for purposes other than those
intended without prior consultation with the Treasury Inspector General for Tax
Administration regarding their applicability.
If you have any questions, please
contact me at (202) 622-8500 or John R. Wright, Director at (202) 927-7077.
The Office of Inspector General for Tax Administration has
no objection to the release of this report, at the discretion of the
contracting officer, to duly authorized representatives of the contractor.
The contractor information contained in this report is
proprietary information. The
restrictions of 18 U.S.C. § 1905 must be followed in releasing any information to
the public.
This report may not be released without the approval of
this office, except to an agency requesting the report for use in negotiating
or administering a contract with the contractor.
The TIGTA seal was removed due
to its size.

Unique chance to stay in historic country house and family home. We offer a warm welcome and a haven of tranquility only one hour from Dublin. We have three en-suite guest rooms (see all our listings) and guests are welcome to relax by our open fires in dining and drawing rooms. The house is easily reached by car or train. Good base to explore the South-East of Ireland.
Why not check our REVIEWS ON TRIPADVISOR?
The Iris Room features a KING-SIZE double bed with feather-down duvets and pillows and an EN-SUITE with power shower. The Iris Room is in the GEORGIAN part of the house and OVERLOOKS THE FRONT GARDENS.
PRICING of 80 euros per night is for two people including Irish or Continental breakfast.
Dollardstown House has been the family for over forty years. After a lot of hard work and dedication we have decided to re-open it as a Bed & Breakfast and revive this wonderful historic home.
Dollardstown House is sitting in 20 acres of mature parkland, making it a haven of tranquility. Although the parkland is grazed by cattle, most of the gardens can be enjoyed by our guests. The Behan family always were keen gardeners; Andrew is a horticulturalist. And it shows. There are many plants and trees to be enjoyed. Some trees have been around since the times of Napoleon! (Nelson's ship fighting Napoleon was made partly with trees from Dollardstown.)
Be welcomed with home-made scones and tea / coffee. In the morning wake up to the smell of home-made bread and freshly ground coffee. Whether you prefer a full Irish or an extensive continental breakfast, you can expect locally sourced foods prepared with dedication. We are happy to cater for special diets on request.

Wow, what a great place! Its a little bit off the beaten track but absolutely worth the effort. Its an amazing large old manor house, full of history and charm. Antoinette and Andrew are terrific hosts who bent over backwards to help us out and make our stay a real delight. They are doing a great job in keeping this lovely old house alive and thriving. It seems to have a personality of its own an staying there was one of the highlights of our time in Ireland.
My husband and I had a lovely stay here. Antoinette and Anthony made sure that we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The history of the house is very interesting. I would recommend staying here!
Great house with great room and a superb plot, not to mention the breakfast king. Very gracious hosts.
The perfect place to spend a luxurious stay. The only problem, the house is far from everything. Therefore, it is very quiet, but it is difficult to come and go from the city center.
We arrived a bit earlier than expected. Andrew quickly made arrangements for tea and scones and accommodated us in every way. After 10 days in Ireland we are still talking about Antoinette's soda bread, the comfort of our bed and duvet, and Andrew and Antoinette as wonderful hosts. Dollardstown House is a beautiful historical home in a tranquil setting. We are grateful to Andrew and Antoinette for making our first days in Ireland so comfortable. We hope to return someday.
Fantastic BnB, tucked away on a gorgeous property. Andrew and Antoinette were super nice, welcoming us even fairly late at night with homemade scones. We only stayed one night, but we both slept better than we had our whole trip! The room was also warmer than any other we stayed in (by that point we were used to wearing layers to bed and freezing a little), and the shower pressure was great. It's a beautiful old house and Andrew and Antoinette have clearly worked quite a bit to make sure that everything functions smoothly. Breakfast was ready for us early in the morning, and I only wish that we had had more time to sit and eat! The Irish breakfast and freshly baked soda bread were delicious. All in all a great stay at Dollardstown House--we would highly recommend it!
Very nice welcome and good atmosphere.Beautiful surroundings. Interesting conversations

April Music, Eximus, Stello, Verastarr
Someone should review this thing. But not me. JA? ML? JI? EL? AD?
Oh: It also looks kinda cool, with pretty little leaves engraved on the top panel and little dots on the side panels that work to disseminate heat.
Meanwhile, April Music's new Aura Vivid CD player offers balanced and single-ended outputs, uses a Cirrus Logic CS4398 DAC, and provides three digital inputs. The company's matching Aura Vita integrated amplifier has four analog inputs, including moving-magnet phono, and provides 50Wpc.
Also on display were the new Stello DAC3 24/192 USB Link ($495) and cables from Verastarr. The wide surface area of the Verastarr cables is meant to eliminate skin effect. (And I don't know anyone who likes skin effect. Eww.)

In memoriam
, 6th October 2012 at 03:50 PM (575 Views)
Earlier this week, the end of an era came.
@Soulmaster and myself thought it would be neat if @Mintaka had a Minnie Mouse theme. Not being a fan of the rodent, she refused. (at which I was most disappoint.)
But afterconstant pesteringsome time and a bet involving the Kingdom of Pokémon, she conceded.
And it was a glorious (10 day) era of prosperity* and merriment!
Alas, all good things must come to an end.
R.I.P. Min's Minnie theme ;-;

After looking at the bare drives, we got a demo from Western Digital where they compared the different drives in Ultrabooks against an SSD solution.
They then had some of the attendees of the demonstration help time the demo and see which solution was actually faster under normal usage scenarios.
Without revealing the results of Western Digital's demonstration, we can say that the future of storage will certainly be interesting. Will the storage industry get more interesting as players like Seagate and Western Digital start to venture into solid state? Absolutely.

Project FDA is a Manhattan Institute initiative that aims to reform the FDA to meet 21st century challenges. Under the leadership of former FDA commissioner Dr. Andrew von Eschenbach, Project FDA promotes reforms that can enable the FDA to offer a more predictable, transparent, and efficient pathway for bringing safe and effective new products to patients.
Medicine is on the cusp of a radical transformation. New sciences and technologies are poised to allow physicians to personalize treatment for every cancer patient; arrest or prevent the development of Alzheimer's disease; and radically lower health care costs by reducing the prevalence of expensive chronic diseases. Unfortunately, today's FDA has struggled to adapt its regulations to new scientific advances.
Project FDA believes the FDA can become a bridge for innovation, rather than a barrier to it, and that this can be achieved without sacrificing patient safety. For instance, advances in molecular medicine that allow companies to target specific sub-groups of patients, combined with electronic health records, should allow the FDA to streamline and improve timeconsuming and expensive pre-market product testing that can take a decade or more, and implement vigorous post-market surveillance of "real world" patients after drugs or devices demonstrate safety and efficacy in early testing. This approach will not only accelerate access to innovative products; it should enhance efforts to safeguard public health.
Project FDA will educate the public on the FDA's vital role in advancing medical innovation; highlight the potential for new sciences to improve health while also lowering costs; and collaborate with patients' groups, industry stakeholders, and policymakers to modernize the FDA's policies and procedures.
The Digital Future of Molecular Medicine: Rethinking FDA Regulation
At a Manhattan Institute Project FDA conference, leading scientific and technical experts, industry stakeholders, and experienced FDA regulators discussed how we can better incorporate new technologies into the drug development process in order to accelerate biomedical innovation and improve outcomes for patients.
Framing the conference, senior fellow Peter Huber presented his new report, The Digital Future of Molecular Medicine: Rethinking FDA Regulation, examining how rapid advances in the science of personalized medicine are being slowed by an outdated regulatory system that relies on 50-year-old statistical models to evaluate new medicines.

Great product to clean up those messy tool drawers. These can be used for many different kinds of tools. I used them from my screwdrivers. They secured my screwdrivers preventing them from rolling around when i open and close the drawer
Lyndora, PA
I got one set to try out and loved them . Went back and got 4 more sets I have all my wrenches punches screw drivers nut drivers and extensions in these

Nice to have the option to control the layout. Time consuming, but worth the effort. Works well at holding both wrenches and screwdrivers in place, and makes a great divider for organizing compartments for other tools. Installation not for Arthritic fingers.
Glen Allen, VA
via sears.com
this is actually a positive review. the packaging states it organizes up to 19 wrenches.....there are 22 slots in each of the 4 rails in this kit....IT CAN ACTUALLY ORGANIZE UP TO 44 WRENCHES!! I was trying to figure out how many I was going to need to organize all my wrenches, but one did it with a few slots to spare....highly recommended!!

This product is perfect for organizing any tool box. This goes perfect with my new 40" 22 Drawer Tool Chest as well as several other Craftsman products I own. Highly recomended. You can trust the name and what it stands for. DieHard Craftsman Fan....
Valley Center, CA
via sears.com
I bought this not really knowing if I was going to use it or return it. Once I figured out how to use it to organize my Craftsman wrenches the way I wanted them I was totally stoked on making use of them. They can be used as dividers as shown in the picture or you can punch out the slots they have precut and put 2 dividers side by side and store your wrenches in the order of your choosing (by size, metric/standard, ect.) Pros - easy to cut, assemble and install. Materials seem durable. Stores wrenches at a nice angle making viewing size easy. Cons- Be nice to have more rails per package.
Tappahannock, VA
via sears.com
The tool drawer dividers were very easy to use and were flex-able in design to accommodate different tools. I would highly recommend them.

Refrigerator Organization: How to Declutter Your Fridge
Get set for the year's busiest food-prep season in 15 minutes flat with these storage smarts that'll help you save space and money
Special Offers
$600 that's the total cost of spoiled food the average U.S. family throws out each year. The hints here can lower that number by a lot.
Free Up Shelf Space
Take 15 minutes now to clear out and make room before the holidays arrive
Don't let cans of soda and single-serve bottles of iced tea crowd out food that must be kept cold; move bottles and cans to the pantry, then cool them down with ice when you need them.
Stash food in square, stackable plastic containers versus round ones; they'll let you store more.
Instead of placing leftovers in huge, space-sucking containers, stow them as individual portions in smaller bins or resealable bags.
Clean Up Your Act
Little moves to save time
Line bins with paper towels to catch drips.
Keep sticky items (like jams, syrups, and sauces) in removable shelf bins, like Fridge Binz ($8 to $20, depending on size; containerstore.com). When dribbles occur, the bins can be taken out and rinsed no need to scrub them in place.
Clean stuck-on messes with a damp scrubber sponge sprinkled with baking soda a gentle way to eradicate dirt and odors.
Double-bag raw meat and store on a platter on the bottom shelf (the coldest in the fridge) to catch any leaks.
