Help! Antique furniture has a musty smell.
I've never owned antiques before. I have a couple of chairs & a hutch. They smell like they were sitting in someones smelly old basement.That musty smell really bothers me. I feel like there must be a mildewy problem when antiques smell musty.
What will get that smell out, if anything?
Will Clorox & water work?
First I want to get the smell out. Then I want to clean them & bring back the shine.
Please advise. TIA
A friend of mine claims that she had a similar situation. She put it in an enclosed room, and ran a dehumidifier for a few days. She said the smell was then all gone.
I find it very hard to believe, but you might try it, if you have or can borrow a dehumidifier.
Good luck!
I've known people tp put a tray of kitty litter in each drawer and atop the piece. I don't really think this works.
In my opinion the only real way to get rid of that odor is to refinish the piece,the odor is in the finish/wood.
Cleaning the piece will not neceserly allow you to bring back the shine. Most likely the finish is hazy,cloudy etc.. and cleaning it will have zero affect on getting a shine.
Well...once again I will disagree with stocky.
A musty smell in a wood piece is easy to get rid of.....dry out the piece and finish all INTERIOR surfaces.Put a dilute coat of finish of some sort, shellac, spray-on laquer like Deft, or something....coat the insides of the drawers and the underside of the top...all unfinished wood.
The smell is not coming from the finish but from the wood. Do not wash with clorox and water...particularly don't wash the finished surfaces. You might try wiping all surfaces with mineral spirits and see if that removes the smell....and perhaps it will.
To bring back the shine, try something like min-wax Antique oil finish.
I would start with the easiest fix...put in in a room with a de humidifier going full blast and put a tray of charcoal in each drawer and behund the doors of the hutch. Give that about 5 days. If that doesn't do it, then try the wiping inside and out with mineral spirits....and as a last resort, put some sort of finish on the inside.
I am NOT in the business of refinishing furniture but rather a long time collector/buyer and look for the least expensive/invasive fix.

lindac are you directing your last line at me ? YES I refinish furniture, lots of it. Do you think my motive here is top get customers ? Give me a break ! I haven't been in business for 30 plus years by trolling the internet for customers.
If you seal /finish the drawers you will have two problems.
First is that you will likely not be putting enough sealer on the drawers to prevent the musty odor from coming thru.Why would you want to seal the musty odor into the piece ? Would it work , not for long . Initially you would just be smelling the shelac or lacquer you just sprayed in the drawers.
Second is, that spraying to much of any sort of finish on an interior surface like a drawer is not a good thing. The drawer,because it's closed never really has a chance for the finish to breath and disapate. If your putting clothing in these drawers, your clothes will smell from the finish.
We spray two light coats of sealer on all interior surfaces so it's dirt and dust free.We then rub and wax that surface like it was an exterior surface.It's now clean,dirt and dust free as well as smooth to the touch.
As for a shine on an old finish, use any "snake oil " product you want. You are still putting it on top of an old oxidized finish. It's like painting a Saturn with Porsche Red , it's still a Saturn underneath.
Maybe I should mind my own business, but how about putting a handful of coffee beans in each drawer?
As for the chair, how about Nature's Miracle? I know it's used for pet odors on carpeting, and they have a dry formula also, so take your pick. Just a thought. ;o)
I thought this looked familiar, I remember it now from Home Dec. Up since 4 a.m. and too tired right now to retype my response from over there, so I'll just link to that post here ;)
I wouldn't seal the inner drawers/interior myself. As stocky says that would just be sealing in the smell. It also alters the original state of the piece. Interior wood was meant to breathe, so I just leave it nekkid ;) The Natural Magic gel I suggested in the Home Dec thread on this topic really does do the trick in my experiences. Good old fashioned fresh air does wonders, too ;) Avoid days of rain forecast, high humidity or hot beating sun. "Crisp" days are best for airing out. I often set pieces like this in the garage for a week or so when I first get them home, open the windows and overhead door if I know I'll be home all day. Not feasible to move a hutch around like that, but you could still do it with the chairs. If the fabric is in bad shape, you could consider having the seats redone. If adventurous, you could do it yourself, but read up a lot first on how-to. Definitely try the dehumidifier, too. Wouldn't recommend long term exposure in a closed-in room with that, it might dry out the wood too much and you could get creaks 'n moans where there were none before.
Nor would I strip/refinish, unless the finish is in bad shape. If it's presentable, I'd leave it alone. Once you get the smell out, I'd recommend a coat of a quality paste wax to revive the shine. Here's a really good article from the Henry Ford Museum on care/cleaning antique wood. I was watching antiques roadshow the other night and they were showing examples of what not to do with antique finishes. They said never use oils to polish/shine, it will oxidize over time, and if there are any little nicks or scratches in the finish the oil absorbs into it and over time they will become quite dark and pronounced from the oxidation process. I just searched and found the related article. They recommended a once a year or so paste wax. I like Trewax paste wax and am curious to try the Renaissance Wax mentioned in the museum article (some not-too-shabby museums use it), although it appears that has to be specially ordered.
To Stocky or anyone else knowledgeable: The musty smell I have is in my grandfather clock that I bought in 1991, so it isn't that old. However, it was wrapped and placed in a storage unit that was not climate controlled for 9 years (initally I only expected it to be there for 3 months, long story). Aesthetically it looks perfect, no warpage, etc. But the inside has a old smell. Would I want to sand it down and refinish it? It is a Howard Miller clock and it has a cherry finish, I think the wood could be maple or ash. Not sure. Howard Miller had no advice. Would bleach and water be safe to use on a finished interior?
We often run into this problem with the old sewing machine I collect. Some favorite solutions: a day in the sun, baking soda or activated charcoal in a small dish, Dial soap--place an open bar in each drawer. In extreme cases, wipe down with bleach solution--especially if you can see active mildew growth.
I'm so confused! Shelac, don't shelac, use bleach, don't use bleach, use magic elixir, coffee beans, kitty litter, mineral spirits, all the above, Argh! I bought an art-deco chest of drawers that needs to be rid of that "old smell". From reading the posts, I'm inclined to use the diluted bleach solution. One of the drawers has warped and cracked veneer on the bottom that I think I'll just take out. (Why did they put veneer on the drawer bottom?) I also noticed some of the slats dividing the drawers are missing. I'm assuming they must have become warped and cracked also. They aren't a big deal. The warped veneer in the drawer I was speaking of didn't show too well in the pic, but I don't have any doubt that it just needs to be removed. Should I have it replaced or just leave the bare bottom? Should I put shelf paper in it? I can't put the piece outside to air out, I live in Seattle, there is no sunshine to speak of. For now the drawers are in the living room of my apt and the chest in my room where it's intended to be.
Here's a link to some pics:
If you dry everything really well.....things like taking all the drawers out and putting a lamp inside the case and leave the lamp lit for several days....putting the drawers out in the hot sun etc. The veneer in the drawers may shrink bacik to size.
yes...you dredged up an old post and added to it with your own issues. You would have been better to start another thread with your own dresser pictured....
People thought it was just more take on the original post dating from July of 07.
Things move pretty fast here....if you start a new thread and don't tag on to an old one.

I'm going to push Natural Magic or Citrus Magic again. Usually at paint counters or cleaning supplies of hardware stores. Ace, Lowes, and some paint dealers near me. There's also a newer brand, Clean Air, I've picked up at Lowe's. I lean toward the Natural Magic only because it's $1 cheaper for the same size container. Any of them work well, the stuff is amazing. There's also Gonzo volcano chips (Home Depot). Gonzo works, but the magic absorbers seem to work much faster. I see the post I linked to is gone. I bought a vintage Drexel Heritage bedroom suite, solid cherry, pristine but one center dresser drawer had perfume smell (strong, like some spilled). It carried into other drawers. No way could I use it, all our clothes would smell like that old perfume. So I cleaned with bleach water, no luck. Put a couple Natural Magic containers in the dresser, kept the drawers cracked about 2" (for air flow, the 'magic' absorbers need some air flow). Rotated them around inside different drawers for about 3 weeks, and smell was gone.
I use them everywhere, from rentals between tenants, my closets, cars, pet areas, etc. Worth every penny!

Feta-and-Radish Toasts
Steven Satterfield serves some combination of feta and radishes almost every day. He says you can use any assortment of radishes for these toasts, like watermelon, pink beauty, cherry belle or d'Avignon. If you slice the radishes ahead of time, keep them in a bowl of ice water, which makes them extra cold and crispy.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Will NDP allow history to repeat itself?
BRANDON -- If there is one thing Premier Greg Selinger can be thankful for after this week's poll results, it is that Manitoba doesn't have a recall law. That might not save him from those within his own party, however.
On Monday, Angus Reid Public Opinion released the results of a massive survey that indicated just 31 per cent of Manitobans were satisfied with Selinger's performance, well back of Progressive Conservative Leader Brian Pallister (48 per cent) and three points behind Liberal Leader Jon Gerrard (34 per cent).
On Wednesday, a Probe Research poll conducted for the Free Press delivered even worse news for the premier. It found province-wide support for the NDP has plummeted to just 28 per cent among decided voters, 18 points behind Pallister's Tories.
Within the NDP's "Fortress Winnipeg," the NDP now trails the PCs by a 38 per cent-to-34 per cent margin. Among women voters, a vital component of the NDP's traditional base of support, the Tories now hold a 41 per cent-to-31 per cent advantage.
With such dismal poll results for the NDP -- and the likelihood that they will worsen even further once the impact of July's PST increase is felt by Manitobans -- how soon will it be before we hear the phrase "Greg must go!" from within the party?
For many New Democrats, the polling numbers conjure a disturbing sense of d©j vu. They are eerily similar to 1988, when the Pawley government was shellacked in the polls, reduced to third-party status in the election and doomed to a decade on the opposition benches -- a period they still refer to as the "dark days."
It is a scenario that must terrify many caucus members in the Selinger government. For many, their gig as MLA is the best-paying job they have ever had. For a few, it is the only full-time job they have ever had. Many of them have no job to fall back on if they lose their seats in the next election.
Similar considerations are at play for many NDP members who have received plum patronage rewards over the past 14 years. They have grown accustomed to the pay, power and prestige, and fear a change in government that would instantly transform them from "somebody" to "nobody" status.
Then there are the unions that have benefited under this NDP government. They are already warning their membership that a vote for the Tories in the next election is a vote for job losses and cuts in benefits.
With all that anxiety at play, don't expect the NDP caucus, membership and unions to sit quietly while Selinger leads the party on a long, agonizing march to electoral oblivion. The premier is not universally loved by the membership, and that makes it far more likely that yet another round or two of bad poll results could spark a move to replace him with a leader capable of carrying the party to victory in the next election.
While some might expect a series of bad polls would eventually cause Selinger to voluntarily step aside, Probe's Curtis Brown doubts that will happen.
"In the modern political era in Manitoba, only two party leaders have stepped down before an election where their party was defeated," he says.
"The first -- Duff Roblin -- stepped down to unsuccessfully challenge for the national PC leadership. The other -- Howard Pawley -- stepped down after becoming the first premier in Canadian history to be defeated on a motion of no confidence by one of his own backbenchers -- a rare occasion unlikely to be repeated, especially when the current government holds 37 of 57 seats."
The reference to Howard Pawley must worry New Democrats. He ignored signs of impending electoral defeat for too long, resigned too late and left a crippled and divided party that was in no position to fight an election.
Today's New Democrats won't allow history to repeat itself. The party's poor polling numbers are the consequence of Selinger's broken election promises and bungled budget.
If he can't pull the party out of the tailspin he has created, and do it quickly, don't be surprised if many in the party conclude it is time for Greg to go -- and the sooner the better.

Our lives play out on the surface; we are living in the moment. We are unaware of what had once been here before us and lies beneath us. We our lost in our own innovation and technological advancements. It has become increasingly easy to forget the simplicity of our past. We are left to reminisce the days of real entertainment, simple communication, and music uninhibited by modern man's computers You can find these things throughout the layers of our past, under the layers of sediment beneath our feet. The deeper you dig, the more amazing object you find. Everything that has evolved has been forgotten. We are the next lost generation.

For the cupcakes:
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
2 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder, sifted (natural unsweetened)
4 tablespoons no-taste red food coloring
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups whole milk, at room temperature (may not need all the milk, don't want it too runny I left out 1/4 cup)
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
For the vanilla cream cheese frosting:
6 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
- For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line 2 standard cupcake pans with paper baking cups.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugar at medium speed for 3-5 minutes or until light and fluffy. Lower speed and add eggs, one at a time, mixing slowly after each addition. In a small bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, red food coloring, and vanilla. On low speed, slowly add this to the stand mixer bowl, mixing until well incorporated. In a small bowl, combine salt and milk. On a low speed, alternate between adding a third of the flour, followed by a third of the milk, and mix. Repeat and mix until incorporated, and stop to scrape down the bowl as needed. In a small bowl, quickly stir baking soda and apple cider vinegar together (it will fizz!) then pour this reaction into the batter. Mix until just incorporated.
- Using a standard-size, spring-release ice cream scooper, scoop batter into the lined cupcake pans so each well is 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the frosting: In the bowl of an stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment; beat cream cheese and butter on medium to high speed until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla extract. On a low speed, slowly mix in confectioners' sugar until well combined. Then beat on a high speed for at least 2 minutes to ensure a light and fluffy frosting.
- Transfer frosting into a plastic piping bag fitted with a round metal tip. Make sure cupcakes are completely cooled before piping the frosting on each cupcake.
A Wilton Extra Large Round Tip #1A or #2A will work well to get the signature swirl that DC Cupcakes does.

The Roche Children's Walk – Keep on walking
About the Children's Walk
The Roche Children's Walk is a sponsored walk of Roche employees. Every year ten thousands of employees at over 100 Roche sites around the world participate, to collect donations for children in need. Since 2003, over 132'000 walking employees have made the Roche Children's Walk a continuous success.
The Roche Children's Walk supports schools and orphan centers in Malawi, for children aged 3 to 19. The projects are operated by UNICEF and ECPP.
The projects have three common objectives:
- Providing assistance, security and a meal
- Supporting academic learning
- Educating and developing skills to help children become self-sufficient.
Local affiliates can use up to 50% of the raised donations for local children projects.
Roche has a long tradition of corporate social responsibility. Malawi is one of the least developed countries in the world. Almost half the population is younger than 15 years old and half a million children have been orphaned due to HIV/AIDS. 40% of the population live on less than US$ 1 per day. But Malawi is a peaceful and stable country. One of the key ingredients for development is education. This is why Roche has decided to focus on long-term education projects: because they have the potential to truly make a difference.
We have to keep on walking
Together, we've helped make a huge impact in Malawi, brightening the future for many orphaned children and young adults. However, there is still much more to do. The children continue to need our support. We have to keep on walking, to help building a sustainable future for these children.
Our partners
To ensure a thoroughly responsible and effective use of the donations, Roche is cooperating with two experienced and renowned organizations: UNICEF Switzerland and ECPP (European Coalition of Positive People).
Through these partners, Roche supports two distinct projects:
Donations raised
Since the first Walk in 2003, Roche employees have raised over 11,1 million Swiss Francs. Every cent raised in the Roche Children's Walk goes to the cause. Roche doubles the donations collected by employees. Since Roche also assumes all walk and funding administrative expenses, no donations are spent on bureaucracy or fundraising costs. External audits ensure that all funds are used to benefit the children.
Every donation gives children in Malawi prospects for a better future:
- 50 USD provide one child's clothing for 1 year
- 100 USD support 6 young people for 1 school year
- 500 USD support school boarding for 1 semester
- 2000 USD furnish 1 class room
- 5000 USD finance the two year education of a teacher
Keep on contributing
Please note that only Roche employees can walk the Roche Children's Walk.
If you are a Roche employee, dedicate yourself: register at your affiliate for walking – and find plenty of sponsors inside and outside Roche. Or sponsor a colleague.
If you are not employed at Roche, you can support the Roche Children's Walk too. You are welcome to dedicate your funds by sponsoring a Roche employee you know. Simply contact them or go to our website Re&Act, to make a donation.

Frank Myers, USA
"The best thing to get away from poverty is education. We are helping them to get there, that's why we need to continue!"
Marina Chen, Taiwan
"Among all the centers, teacher's Training College was the most impressive. The college has a clearly defined mission to enhance the educational system in the community – as it represents the cornerstone for a sustainable society."
Leila Koleilat, Roche Lebanon
"After the first day in Malawi, I said to myself: I wish I would have raised twice as much!"

The Roche Children's Walk takes place annually on the 16th June – the International Day of the African Child.
In 2014, the Roche Children's Walk will take place on Monday June 16th.

Children leaving an impact
"Taking my life into my own hands"
The goal of the Roche Children's Walk is simple: we want to enable Children in Malawi to take their lives into their own hands. Expressing oneself through art is a symbol for establishing such an autonomous life. So we invited some of the children to create colorful collages. The results are full of joy and beauty. Have a look! And help us to support these children's future.
The Roche Children's Walk – Keep on walking
Follow the projects
Partner organizations
Roche is cooperating with two experienced organizations – ECPP and UNICEF–through which we support two clearly defined projects.
Day centers for AIDS orphans in Malawi, as well as scholarship assistance for secondary and post-secondary education, are run by our partner European Coalition of Positive People, ECPP. Funding from the Walk is also provided to UNICEF Switzerland, who support school improvements and teacher training.
Day centers in Malawi
Today, Roche and ECPP support the running of 3 orphan centers, which serve as day centers for over 2000 children.
The centers provide them with basics such as one meal per day, clean water, clothing and basic healthcare. To give the orphans a chance to escape from poverty, they can learn skills such as tin smithing, tailoring or carpentry.
Staying in school
Through ECPP our funds also pay for some of the orphans to attend secondary and post-secondary school.
Building schools
The Roche funding provided to UNICEF Switzerland has supported the construction of 18 classrooms.
It has also helped supply desks, textbooks and other educational material to primary schools.
New teachers college
UNICEF has undertaken a program for the construction of a teacher training college in Malawi. A portion of the Children's Walk funds assists the assessment, planning and installation of this new facility.
The teacher training college will both help address the need for school teachers as well as offer a critical career and future to young people finishing secondary school.
Empowering the centers
New capacities such as the operation of a maize mill can generate income for each of the centers.
Some of the funds support activities that help the centers to become more independent. Examples are the maize mill or welding equipment to train young technicians and produce metal goods. The money earned through these activities is channeled back to the centers to care for and educate the children. Through these activities our support helps empowering the centers to be able to support themselves in the future.
Education of girls
An African proverb says: "If you educate a man you educate an individual, but if you educate a woman you educate a family".
In grade one there are 50% boys, 50% girls, in later years, this ends up being closer to 80% boys, 20% girls. This has partially been attributed to a lack of separate toilet facilities, prompting many girls to leave school in their teens, resulting in a high female illiteracy rate. This is why we have helped build separate toilet facilities, which helps girls remain in school through puberty.
Electricity has been made available only recently.
In 2011, ECPP has installed electrification and meters at the centers to provide electricity and lighting to the maize mill, the teacher housing and the training buildings.
Drinking water
Clean, fresh drinking water is available to the children at the orphan centers.
This is essential to their basic health. Daily hygiene is taught at the orphan centers. Boreholes drilled through the support of the Children's Walk provide clean water, reducing the likelihood of water borne diseases.
Daily meals
ECPP ensures that children at the orphan day centers receive a healthy, nutritious meal every day.
Without assistance, children often struggle to meet their basic needs for food and clothing.
Funds raised by the Children's Walk help provide school uniforms to children at the orphan centers.
The uniforms are handmade at the centers by students, utilizing the skills they have learned.

|Report: Temple player arrested, accused of assault
|Written by Admin
|Saturday, 06 October 2012 15:11
The Philadelphia Inquirer (bit.ly/QFf6pk) reported the 20-year-old junior was arraigned Saturday on felony kidnapping and misdemeanor charges. Bail was set at $25,000.
Temple spokesman Raymond Betzner said the girlfriend told campus police Thursday she was assaulted Sept. 27 at her apartment in a building where the university leases several floors. City police are now handling the case. A spokesman did not return a call Saturday.
A hearing for Johnson was scheduled for Oct. 23.
Temple coach Steve Addazio told the paper he would not comment on Johnson's arrest or his status with the team. An athletic department spokesman did not return messages left Saturday.

Mechanics love it!
Comments about GOJO® PRO 5000™ Supro Max Hand Cleaner Refill, Herbal, 5000 ml, 2/Case:
We used to use the regular orange bottle gojo which worked ok but still didn't clean the guys hands thoroughly. I accidentally ordered this Supro Max once and they love it! It cleans much better than the regular Gojo. It is also handy to have it available in this version for a dispenser. The pump bottles would take up room in out bathroom and now we can have this hanging right on the wall. The 5000ml size works much better for us because we don't have to buy refills as often. We have 2 full time mechanics that are using it multiple times a day and 20+ other guys that use it on and off and we refill about once a month.

The latest version of Aspera's high-speed transfer platform and SDK for extreme datasets now available for enterprise and on demand deployments
Aspera, Inc., creators of next-generation software technologies that move the world's large data at maximum speed, today announced the immediate availability of the latest version of its core high-speed transfer products and SDK, for both on-premise and Aspera On Demand cloud-based subscription service.
These latest enterprise software and On Demand versions build upon fasp 3, the most universal and open core transport technology available today, with the following new capabilities:
- Extreme scalability - support for passing an arbitrarily large number of individual source items to an ascp transfer session, allowing all Aspera client and plugin products, ascp command line usage, and 3rd party SDK usage to pass even billions of unique individual files and directories to a fasp session for transfer.
- The ability to uniquely rename each source item at the destination and to secure the session with the Aspera token authorization independent of number of items.
- First ever high-speed direct-to-cloud transport now enhanced with fully integrated support for browsing and transfer with Aspera On Demand servers for Microsoft Azure and Azure Blob storage.
- Line-speed transfers of tiny files – multiple advanced features in the new a3 transfer binary, which allow for line speed transfers of even the smallest files through its new inline metadata transmission and multi-I/O architecture, and incorporating fast inline compression.
- Updated Windows runtime allowing for full compatibility with Windows 8 and future Windows environments.

Characterization of Silicon Dioxide Films on a 4H-SiC Si(0001) Face by Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Spectroscopy and Cathodoluminescence Spectroscopy
Volume 65, Number 5 (May 2011) Page 543-548
MASANOBU YOSHIKAWA, HIROHUMI SEKI, KEIKO INOUE, KEIKO MATSUDA, YUSAKU TANAHASHI, HIDEKI SAKO, YUIHIRO NANEN, MUNEHARU KATO, and TSUNENOBU KIMOTO
We used Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy to characterize silicon dioxide (SiO2) films on a 4H-SiC(0001) Si face. We found that the peak frequency of the transverse optical (TO) phonon in SiO2 films grown on a 4H-SiC substrate agrees well with that in SiO2 films grown on a Si substrate, whereas the peak frequency of the longitudinal optical (LO) phonon in SiO2 films on a 4H-SiC substrate is red-shifted by approximately 50 cm-1 relative to that in SiO2 films on a Si substrate. We concluded that this red-shift of the LO phonon is mainly caused by a change in inhomogeneity due to a decrease in density in the SiO2 films. Furthermore, cathodoluminescence (CL) spectroscopy results indicated that the channel mobility of the SiC metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) decreases roughly in proportion to the increase in the intensity of the CL peak at 460 and 490 nm, which is attributed to the increase in the number of oxygen vacancy centers (OVCs). FT-IR and CL spectroscopies provide us with a large amount of data on OVCs in the SiO2 films on a 4H-SiC substrate.

Treat your GOGmix as your child - name it! ;)
Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!
So, what are the ingredients?
Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?
Justify your choice... Or not!
OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.

We wanted to make sure that our fans were the people who found out about this first. We wanted to break through with a message that gets them excited and talking.Taking a strikingly different approach than the social media driven marketing methods of the modern age, this marketing campaign drives followers away from its social channels in an effort to get them on the app. The aim is to get users' curiosity is sparked, and drive a more impactful call-to-action. Users are abuzz following the blackout:
Not sure it makes a real difference for @tacobell to black out their online properties, but it got us talking: http://t.co/ssxG4AHivK

Interesting stuff coming out of Taco Bell today. Full social media blackout to promote it's new app.
— salem (@CdotSalem) October 28, 2014
taco bell usually makes *me* black out
— Dan Milanocent (@DailyDanMilano) October 28, 2014
The strategy has managed to land major successes for Taco Bell, with its mobile app gaining the title of the "22nd most downloaded app for iOS users in the United States."
App Annie, an app ranking data and high quality mobile analytics service, indicated that the Taco Bell app jumped from the 60th position to the 1st in the food and drink category. What's more, the app currently holds the #1 spot on App Annie's free apps chart, outranking Google Maps, Spotify, Twitter, and Gmail.
The Taco Bell blackout without a doubt has gotten the social media audience talking, and proves that a brave move (like sacrificing nearly 1.4 million twitter followers) can sometime work in your favor.
The minimal approach is refreshing, inspiring, and effective-for sure.

Bishop agrees long-term Ospreys deal

September 25, 2010
Andrew Bishop has signed a new deal with the Ospreys © Getty Images
Wales centre Andrew Bishop has agreed a new long-term deal with the Ospreys.
The 23-year-old midfielder has signed a four-year contract at the Liberty Stadium, a two year extension on his existing agreement.
Capped 11 times by Wales since his debut on tour to South Africa in 2008, he has made 127 appearances for the Ospreys. Head coach Sean Holley praised Bishop's contribution to their defensive game.
"I'm absolutely delighted" he said. "He can play at 12 or 13 and as we all know, has one of the best defensive games around. He helps run our defensive system and I'm just delighted that this news means that he will continue to be associated with this region."
Bishop was thrilled with the deal and believes that the young talent developing at the region will help the Magners League champions to kick on.
"To be offered a contract at a club like this at any stage of your career is an honour, and when you see the ambition here and the young talent coming through, it's pretty much a no-brainer really," he said. "The decision is a very straight forward one. I got it signed as soon as I could.
"To get a four year deal is great, it shows that the coaches here rate me as a player and as a person, and it really gives me a lot of confidence to be able push my game on again after the progress I've made so far."

As the sun arcs low in the mid day sky, this years harvest is slowly fermenting in its winter slumber.
Everyone here at the Orchard enjoys a few halcyon days to remember the hard work in the last years harvest. We look forward to next years crop of apples.
To warm ourselves in the cold northern solstice we enjoy our winter cider. Lightly spiced with ethically traded cinnamon, vanilla and a wee drop of syrup from our old Maple trees on our farm.
Enjoy this wonderful cider cool or gently warmed, savor a tipple to reflect on your last year and bountiful new year beginning.

The painters I know say oven cleaner will take that right off
Read this forum...I am wanting to save Red Stripe bottles too CLR (Calcium Lime Rust) works wonders apparently. It's like $6 at Home Depot for 28 oz.http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f35/silk...emoval-154515/
Has anyone else had any issues with capping these? I don't want to save them all up and then not able to cap them.
I like the Red Stripe stubbies, but I only have one 12 pack of them. A standard Red Baron capper will cap them just fine, no issues.
I left the labels on. Its the only bottles I own where I did this, but with the odd shape I keep them together at home anyway.
I buy little pouches of chlorinated powder at my LHBS. It's a pink powder. You just mix it with warm water, soak bottles overnight, and it cleans the gunk out of old bottles, and the labels LITERALLY fall right off the bottle as I pull it out of the bucket.
I know this is a really old thread but wanted to chime in anyways. Session bottles did not cap properly for me with my Red Barron capper.
I have been saving RS bottles for a few weeks now for my next brew. I have about 24 now. RS bottles however sealed nicely. I'm one day hoping to make a Molson Canadian clone (the only beer my dad truly likes) and give it to him a couple of cases for Chirstmas. I guess its time to test the CLR then.
