Ask Almost-Doctor Dan: Cleaning Rusty Tools With Coke
As we mentioned a little while ago, we got to meet up with Almost-Doctor Dan on our recent whirlwind trip to New York and were once again able to pick his giant brain.
We asked him if he had any more home-related tips that might be of use to our readers and he thought for about a nano-second before spitting out this brilliant solution: cleaning old rusty tools with a common household item. That item, you ask? Well, it's none other than some good 'ol thirst-quenching Coca-Cola. Here's what Almost Doctor Dan has to say on the subject:
To clean old rusty tools with Coke, submerge the tools in a tub or bowl of Coca-Cola overnight (not sure if Diet Coke or Pepsi will work – best to stick with original Coke). If you can still see rust, leave them for a few more days. Rinse them thoroughly, let them dry, and oil them if necessary to prevent future rusting. This works because Coca-Cola is loaded with phosphoric acid, which dissolves both iron and iron oxide (rust), but dissolves the iron oxide much more quickly. If you left the tools in there for months and months you would probably see significant dissolution (corrosion) of the steel, but for just a few days this isn't a problem. For those who may be scared to drink Coca-Cola after learning this, just know that the contents of a healthy stomach are about 100 times more acidic than Coca-Cola. You aren't harming your digestive system by ingesting Coke or any other dilute acid (i.e. vinegar, citrus juice), although they can be harmful to your teeth and esophagus. Of course Coke isn't the healthiest beverage for those watching their waistline, so submerging your tools in it might just be the best way to use it.
So there you have it, a simple way to get rid of pesky rust and keep your tools in tip top shape. We know we'll be breaking out some Coke whenever ours are looking a bit worse for wear, and you can't beat the fifty-cents-a-can cost! And heck, it could also work for rusty metal candlesticks, vases and other decorative objects. Good to know. But what about you guys? Any other household items that you use to keep things clean or otherwise functional in your home sweet home? Do tell.
What makes Almost-Doctor Dan the smartest guy we know? Learn more about our resident braniac (and my little brother) right here.

I know this is going to sound insane but if you have old wooden furniture with waterspots grab a jar of mayo. Smear mayo across the furniture completely coated it and then place papertowels on top and pat them down. Leave it alone for 30 minutes and then come and wipe away the mayo. The paper towels will look orange. Clean it off and use a damp cloth to remove all mayo residue (it does have egg in it after all) You will be shocked with how beautiful your wood items look!
Jenni, there used to be a radio show celebrity here that had a late night show and he was telling us that he had a party one evening and somebody evidently sat a cold drink on his Baby Grand piano and he didn't notice it till the party was over and it was too late then,as the ring was really noticeable..He talked about it the next evening on the air and some listener called in about the mayonaise solution that you gave and he tried it the next day and mentioned it on the air how it had worked..Even mentioned the lady's name to Thank Her..
I need to remove and prevent further rust on an old metal advertising sign. After I Coke it, what kind of oil should I use to protect it?
Years ago my mom tried to prove to us how terrible Coke was for you, by placing some screws into a two liter. The screws were supposed to be eaten away by the acid in the Coke. All that happened was that the screws came out ridiculously shiny! We would joke after that about our stomachs needing a good cleaning, so they would be all sparkly. Bring on the Coke!
You can use a lemon to clean plastic cutting boards. Slice a lemon in half, squeeze onto the soiled surface, rub, and let sit for 20 minutes before rinsing. I like to clean my cutting boards after making lemon chicken, fish, or any other food item that doesn't require the use of an entire lemon. It really gets all the stains off your cutting board and leaves them sparkly clean!
Another good tip I learned it to use cooking oil to remove Removing adhesive from glasses. I hate when I buy new houseware items and I have to struggle to get the price tags off. Just apply cooking oil to the sticker using a paper towel or a soft cloth, rub firmly, then rinse with warm, soapy water. I love that its one less product to buy and I no longer have to keep my house stocked with Goo Gone.
Great post. Have definitely done the whole clean-a-penny-in-a-glass-of-coke thing before. Another good household item tip is to clean jewelry with toothpaste. I have a jewelry cleaner, but honestly, sometimes toothpaste works better! Just dabbing a little toothpaste on a toothbrush (I keep a separate toothbrush set aside just for this purpose) an little scrubadubdub – and my wedding rings or various earrings, etc. are all sparkly and good as new!
I used Coke to clean my rusty bicycle growing up :)
These are great tips! I've also heard that coke can be used to clean toilets. My mom also adds a little coke and drop of bleach into the water of cut flowers which keeps them lasting much longer.
Hi again Sherry,
When I saw the picture in your post it reminded me of a silly cleaning-related question that I have for you about the rug in your kitchen.
I'd like to put a rug in our kitchen but I'm wondering whether or not it might hinder my kitchen cleaning. Do you vacuum your rug and just swiffer around where the hardwood is? Also, do you have a rug mat or something underneath to keep it from sliding out from underneath you? (I can just picture myself taking something out of the oven and tripping over the carpet, eek!)
My dad uses Coke for its cleaning power, and as a result we have cans that are way out of date – they still work for cleaning. We don't tend to drink it, but we always have to make sure that guests know it's there as a tool rather than a beverage! A friend who worked in a restaurant where they had fresh flowers learned to put sparkling water in with regular water (they said the bubbles helped the stems stay firm), so based on what Jenny is saying above it sounds like any carbonated beverage would do.
THANKS!!! I can't wait to tell my hubby *who has MANY greasy, rusty tools LOL*.
1. Use straight ammonia on greasy *motor oil greasy* work clothes, then add a cup of ammonia to your load of work clothes, let set for an hour or so……wash. It works amazingly. My husband is a millwright, comes home like a grease monkey every night. The ammonia also cleans your washer at the same time, while washing those grimey clothes. ;-)
2. We use liquid Lysol to clean jewelry with, it makes it shine shine shine. We have also used toothpaste in the past, but have found Lysol *a jeweler told my daughter the trick* to make them shine even more.
3. Use staight lemon juice *real lemon in a bottle works* and a little sugar to get pitch, grease, off hands. We put the sugar and lemon juice on dry hands, rub around, then wash off. This will also remove stains on counters etc.
4. To get the onion garlic smell off your hands, just rub them on your kitchen faucet *I use the water spout itself*, this will take away all the odors. You can buy an egg shaped metal ball for removing odors, but WHY waste the money. :-D
5. To get chewing gum off clothes, furniture, carseats, put an ice cube on it, wait for it to get hard, then gently scrape off with a knife.
6. You can remove MOST ink stains by spraying *aerosol can only* hairspray on them……..they will come right out…..you can see MOST of the ink stains fade right before your eyes. ;-)
Oddly enough, the other day while eating dinner, my boyfriend dropped A-1 on our copper coffee table. When he wiped it away, it looked a new, shiny copper penny! I have no idea what's in A-1, but I was thrilled. Though I've yet to pour an entire bottle of steak sauce on it….
I think my favorite thing about this post is that you REALLY do illustrate the fact that you two are serious DIY-ers. I don't think I could give up precious drawer space in my kitchen, especially right next to the stove for tool storage!
ONE MORE: MY FAVORITE THING…..washable, reusable swiffer duster pads. I bought microfiber dishtowels from Grocery Outlet stores, or Dollar Tree *dollar store*, folded them, cut them to the size of the original swiffer duster pads……sewed them up on my machine. THEY WORK GREAT!!!! SO EASY to make and they pick up the dust so well. ENJOY!!! I am making them for Christmas gifts, out of bright coral, bright yellow, bright turquoise, bright lime green microfiber towels. LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM!!!!
P.S. Have to give my friend kudo's for this one, she showed me the one her grandma made for her. ;-)
This sounds like a great idea, but if you have a little ant problem like I do, I suggest leaving it to soak outside or in the garage. Ants would love the sugar in Coke!
Great post……….I seem to remember an email I received with a bunch of uses for Coke and Bounce dryer sheets. I do use the dryer sheet to clean out the lint trap.
BTW– tell the truth, did you straighten out your tool drawer to take the pic or does it always look like that? My "junk" drawer in my kitchen which has a bunch of stuff, not just tools, always looks terrible (and I have some drawer organizers too). UGH.
Also…….where do you keep your vacuum and ironing board? Just curious.
I just thought of another handy tip, though it's not about cleaning. If you have cut tulips in a glass – put a penny at the bottom of the vase and it helps them stand up straight longer! Tulips are prone to droop fast. So are gerber daisies, though I've never tried the penny trick with any other flowers. :)
Thanks for the answers………..you guys are just too clever!
I just soaked my very gross and increasingly sticky scissors in a cup of Coke for 30 minutes after seeing your post and they're like new! Thanks for the tip :)
I've also seen Coke used on rusty car batteries to re-establish a connection. Probably not the best solution, but it works in a pinch.
My mom showed me the probably easiest way ever to clean things made of silver that have become dark and dull, like cutlery or jewelry. Line your kitchen sink (bottom and sides) or a bowl with aluminum foil, pour salt in it (not too little) and fill the whole thing with boiling water. Then place your jewelry or whatever silver item you want to clean in it and you can watch it getting all clean and pretty again. It amazes me every time how quick and easy this works!
The best way to clean chrome is to use a balled up, slightly damp piece of aluminum foil. When I owned a vintage European car with chrome bumpers, I used this trick on the chrome bumpers and they gleamed like new. It also got rid of little patches of rust!
Hmmm…if the sign rusted once, it'll rust again if I don't put something on it, won't it?
Here's my favorite fix-it trick. If you're having trouble starting the car and think it may be the battery, open up the hood and check it out yourself. If the battery has rust or greenish build up around it, pour a bottle of sprite or seven up onto the battery. Let the pop fizz and work it's magic, then wipe away with paper towels. I have surprised friends on multiple occasions with this trick (most think I'm crazy when I pull it out of my bag of tricks) but it really does work!!!!
The pop will keep your car running long enough to take it to a mechanic, rather than having to spend a couple hundred on a tow truck! In fact, your car will keep running even longer (the first time I tried this trick I went months before bringing my car in for a new battery….which it desperately needed!!!)
Yup, I always heard that cops carry a 2 liter of coke in their trunk to put on bloodstains on the highway. EW.
I'll be dunking my pruning shears in some coke now!
Richard, let me know if it cleans up your pruning shears because I am horrible taking care of mine and I went out and bought a new pair because I didn't know how to clean the old ones up.
The best (cheapest and most eco-friendly) way to clean your microwave is to use water! Simply put a small bowl of water with a dash of lemon juice in the microwave for 3-4 minutes. The steam dislodges any stuck-on foods – all you have to do is wipe a cloth over the surfaces and the microwave is clean! Saves endless time scrubbing those hard-to-remove spills with cleaners – I always hated the idea of using chemicals in the place where food is cooked.

Tessa Wegert | August 7, 2014 | Comments
Consumers in the near future will expect to get their advertising in story form across multiple screens. Here is a look at some brands that are already embracing this trend.
Storytelling as it relates to digital media is often associated with content marketing. Branded films, Web series, social video, native ads...all are ideal channels for dispatching stories that bring consumers closer to brands. Think about display ad campaigns, though, and you'll find storytelling is a theme here, too. And just try having a conversation about multiscreen advertising without bringing up the concept of brand story.
In fact, it looks increasingly like multiscreen advertising is where we'll be seeing brand stories unfold. We've entered the age of the multiscreen campaign, and there's no going back. In its global Cross-Screen Engagement study, Microsoft Advertising found that 68 percent of consumers engage in "content grazing" - multi-tasking using several devices at once. According to the report, "Marketers will only succeed in the multiscreen world if they create content that enables personal engagement across TVs, PCS, consoles, tablets, and mobile devices."
They're already on their way. A recent survey of leading ad agencies conducted by data-driven ad platform Jivox found that almost 75 percent of advertisers are running multiscreen ad campaigns, and two-thirds plan to do the same before the year is out. The data is consistent with a report from the Association of National Advertisers and Nielsen that revealed 48 percent of marketers consider multiscreen advertising "very important" to their marketing efforts. In that study, 72 percent of respondents said they expect to increase their integrated multiscreen campaign budgets between 26 and 100 percent by 2016.
"Multiscreen advertising and mobile spend is skyrocketing as brands realize they can't skip a screen like mobile if they want to reach today's always-connected consumer," says Diaz Nesamoney, founder and chief executive (CEO) of Jivox. "Unfortunately, many advertisers are still unintentionally running interactive ads that end up rendering as static fallbacks because the ads have not been optimized for mobile." Companies like Jivox - and multiscreen video platforms like Mixpo and YuMe - offer solutions designed to run multiscreen ad campaigns at scale hoping, Nesamoney says, that they'll "engage customers on every screen."
Media planners and buyers can engage consumers through multiscreen stories in numerous ways, but the main idea is to let the narrative unfold across multiple platforms while leveraging each medium's strengths. When consumers encounter an ad campaign bit by bit, in different places and at different points of the day, they get an experience akin to watching a movie or reading a novel. They're drawn in, their interest is piqued, and they're eager to see what happens next. Because of its ability to deliver a brand message in this fashion, multiscreen marketing is a perfect storytelling strategy.
At this year's Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, Microsoft showcased several campaign case studies that told multiscreen brand stories through episodic programming across laptops, Xbox, and tablets. Among them was a campaign for Lexus that promoted its Web-based extreme sports series, "Ride With the Other Me."
Sometimes, a brand's story is more about what it has to offer customers in the context of their everyday lives. In a different Microsoft Advertising multiscreen campaign for Ford Europe, the viewer receives geo-targeted display banners that incorporate a real-time weather forecast on Bing News to promote Ford's heated windshield. An in-game mobile ad on the viewer's Windows Phone then highlights another Ford feature and taps into Microsoft's intelligent personal assistant Cortana to give the user the ability to schedule an appointment with a Ford dealer, while a third provides a portable Wi-Fi hotspot on Ford's behalf.
As brands continue to invest in multiscreen advertising, the way in which they shape their messaging will become a critically important part of their campaigns. It won't be long before this new breed of multi-tasking, cross-screen consumer fully expects to get his advertising in story form.

Does Eating Fruits Help Heal Thrush
Here's a taste of what TheBody.com has to offer on this topic:
Get the Facts
Candidiasis (Thrush)...Line What Is Thrush? Candidiasis is a common opportunistic infection in people with HIV. It is an infection caused by a common type of yeast (or fungus) called candida. This yeast is found in most people's bodies. A healthy immune system keeps it under control. Candida usually infects the mouth, throat, or vagina. It can occur months or years before other, more serious opportunistic infections. See Fact Sheet 500 for more...

I'm originally from Brazil and I came to the US for graduate studies in 2010. I have since been living in the Bay Area, with my wife and our two sons.
Travel is a big part of my life and nowadays I find it hard to book a hotel room. I always seek the comfort of a home at airbnb.

Morgantown HotelsDubbed the No.1 Small City in America, Morgantown sits cradled in the greenery draped hills of Monongalia County. A blend of rich heritage and modern flair, its vibrancy is fueled by West Virginia University's 30,000 strong student population. Along with top shopping and dining, outdoor recreation, and a nightlife energetic enough to make anyone feel young, Morgantown boasts some exciting year-round festivities. Popular events include the West Virginia Wine and Jazz Festival and Chocolate Lovers' Day. What's more, it's all within reach of Pittsburgh and Washington D.C.Things to seeFootball fans will want to catch a game at Mountaineer Field at Milan Puskar Stadium. The home turf of West Virginia University's Mountaineers, the vast ground has room for over 60,000 fans and regularly hosts community events. The university's hub for arts, music, and theater, the Creative Arts Center is ever simmering with fresh talent. Each year the center holds over 500 performances, with monthly art exhibitions to boot. Among many other things, Morgantown is known for its glass production. Owned and operated by a private collector, the Morgantown Glass Museum is a sparkling trove of over 5,000 locally made pieces, ranging from tableware to paper weights. With over 12,700 acres of scenic serenity, Coopers Rock State Forest is a hiker's dream. Trails weave in amongst wooded glades and valleys, whilst singing birds and babbling creeks provide a tranquil soundtrack. Overlooking the Cheat River Gorge and distant horizon, the forest's cliff overlook is an awe-inspiring vantage point.Hotels in MorgantownWhether you want a golf and spa stay, a sophisticated boutique sleepover, or simple chain name accommodation, there's plenty of hotels in Morgantown to choose from. The city's larger lodgings come packed with amenities, ranging from swimming pools and fully equipped gyms, to business centers, conference rooms, and onsite restaurants. Contemporary or classical, the city's rooms don't scrimp on the features either. Flat-screen televisions and WiFi keep you connected, whilst microwaves, refrigerators, and tea/coffee makers often come as standard too. The cheap hotels in Morgantown are in good supply, and range from budget brand name favorites, to run of the mill motels.Where to stayA hotel in Morgantown's historic downtown district puts you in good stead for exploring everything on offer. Praised for its walkability, the historic hub's leafy streets and picturesque riverside setting provides a pleasant ambiance day or night. Bustling flea markets and quaint antique shops offer one-of-a-kind finds, whilst gleaming department stores provide the latest fashion fix. Dining comes in a casual bistro or classy restaurant, whilst revelers will find much of the nightlife on High Street. Just 22 miles away, the community of Kingwood provides a superb base for outdoor recreation, including hiking, biking, and rafting. A colonial heritage haven, it's also home to the historical McGrew house and Hovatter's Wildlife Zoo.How to get to MorgantownMorgantown Municipal Airport is the city's primary gateway, situated approximately 4 miles east of the downtown core. A small airport serving only a limited number of destinations, connecting flights can be made through the much bigger Washington Dulles International Airport. Located 26 miles west of Washington, D.C, the busy hub serves most US destinations, along with major cities in Europe and Asia. Once you've landed at Morgantown a taxi can whisk you to your accommodation, though many hotels provide complimentary shuttles on request. For cheaper travel, the Megabus coach company operates services to the city from Pittsburgh and Washington, D.C.

The De Luxe Faux Fur Heated Throw is currently unavailable.

Heated Faux Fur Throw"
by Terri Berg
Gorgeous. luxurious, soft and beautiful to look at. Multi heat levels and heats up quickly and big enough to cover the entire sofa. I bought the original heated throw a some years ago - couldn't live without it during the winter but the original was not pretty; brown, that's it, just a dull brown fleece. But it was still the best thing ever when cold. The new faux fur throw is beautiful to touch and see - furry one side and velvety the other. Heaven. Worth every penny. Lakeland is the best!
Published 09 01 2015

recently got this heated throw for just sitting around the lounge, what a product. This is the best throw ever, I love it especially after a shower when you feel a bit cool, just switch it on to number 6 and after a few minutes you can feel the heat coming through. Great for keeping warm on those cosy nights in.
Published 12 11 2014
by Elaine
I purchased this throw after much research as there are less expensive options available, as the reviews were so good . It has turned out to be one of the best purchases I have ever made. Suffering from a circulation problem, I struggle to keep warm this throw is fantastic warm in seconds . I cannot recommend this product highly enough. The quality is excellent, it is of a very generous size and can be machine washed .

If you suffer from the cold, this is wonderful to snuggle under. Since buying one for my daughter who suffers from Reynaud's phenomenon (permanently cold hands and feet) she has stopped moaning about how cold she is when sitting down to watch tv etc. Worth every penny.

Absolutely Fabulous!"
by Ms Francis
Before purchasing this throw from Lakeland I did research other options. Yes, you can buy one cheaper. But you can't buy one better!! This electric throw is luxurious, excellent quality, a large size, and the control is very responsive - and it looks brilliant on the settee when not in use. So glad I decided to spend the extra money and buy this one. Fabulous - and here ready for the winter months. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed - highly recommended.

Bought one of these last winter and it is just wonderful! I use it on the sofa, lounging in bed - anywhere! Whatever you do - get one!

Love This Cosy Throw"
by Kathryn
This is really nice for additional warmth in the living room when the air is cool and also as a bed throw where it looks lovely. It has a long power cable and is so comforting as it heats beautifully and very quickly. The fabric on both sides feels luxurious. I have no regrets about buying this product and would recommend it.
Published 29 04 2013
by Dr Bell
This is a totally luxurious product. The fur looks so much more natural and beautiful in real life and isn't nearly so stripy looking as in the picture. The throw starts to heat up incredibly quickly and is large enough to fit both of my kids and me under quite comfortably. It feels and looks so very lovely, although it is possible to feel the wires in the throw to some extent. A guest tried in recently and she loved it so much we thought she was never going to go home! Have now found the special gift we will give my mother for her up coming 70th birthday.
Published 27 02 2013
by Amanda
This is my dream product. The fur is lovely quality and it heats up to a very warm temperature within 1 minute.It saves me turning the central heating up if I am feeling chilly and costs virtually nothing to use, less than a penny for 3 hours. My husband loves it and I thought we would end up fighting over it. Luckily it is much larger than I thought and there is loads of room for us both to snuggle under it. It also looks lovely draped accross the sofa and the wire is easy to hide. I wish I had one of these years ago, I love it.

Get One"
by Ann
Well done Lakeland- I love this, my husband loves this(and it takes a lot to impress him) and my children love this. The quality of the material is amazing, very warm and snug but when you add the heat it is like being in heaven. Heat shuts off after three hours so you simply reset if needed . Size is just right for sofa area but I would have preferred it slightly larger. But don't let that put you off.. It is still an amazing product.

"Where have all the young men gone?"
This is a piercing, courageous book that connected a lot dots for me. Michelle Alexander lays out a compelling, sturdily reasoned case that may explain a lot of very sick things in our society. The "war on drugs," incentivizing biased police enforcement, unfair stereotyping of minority youth, prison profiteering, and fear of discussing racial issues are not the only perpetuating factors. Anyone who cares about social justice would appreciate this book. It interestingly written, although a bit repetitive and I believe the author could have said more about how the system perpetuates crime and violence. The reader Karen Chilton is one of the best I have heard in many hours of audible.com listening.

He jokes that "the last time I checked, there are no brain cells in my hip." Dayton shed his body cast a week early and is on crutches for another week or so.
So far, Republicans have not made a campaign issue of Dayton's ailments or time away from his office. DFL strategists are quick to point out that former GOP Gov. Tim Pawlenty spent as much time or more away from the Capitol during his unsuccessful presidential run.
Still, Dayton finds the back and hip problems frustrating.
"I chafe at that, both in terms of the job as well as the campaign," he said in an interview. "Maybe it hasn't been ideal, but I have been able to be engaged in the session and I think have a strong influence." He notes that even if he were in top physical form, he would be focused on the session, not campaigning.
"This session is so crucial as to how I will be perceived by the public in November," Dayton said. "It's very consuming."
Besides, Dayton said, now Minnesotans will get to know Smith, who replaces retiring Lt. Gov. Yvonne Prettner Solon of Duluth. Smith, he said, has "the opportunity to go around and have people focus on her, get to know her, to get to like her."
That is how Smith found herself in Willmar last week, chatting with residents and business owners.
She met with leaders in the growing Latino community to hear their business-development concerns. Later, it was local Somali community elders, who told her of their need for more housing, immigration services and community support.
"I like her," said Diane Fortney, 55, a high school teacher. "I really feel like she listened to me, that she was engaged."
GOP sees an opening
Smith is spending extra time in rural areas, where Republicans are counting on strong support if they are to have a shot at beating Dayton.
Former House Minority Leader Marty Seifert of Marshall is preparing to take advantage of what he sees as the weakness of a ticket that geographically spans Lake Harriet to Summit Avenue.
"I think having an all-metro ticket is a huge mistake," said Seifert, who must run a primary gantlet before challenging Dayton. "When the major-party candidates play footsie with not having balance, they get burned."
The Dayton team is already taking on the trappings of a full-fledged campaign operation. Smith tours the state in a white Ford Edge SUV with a full-time staffer at her side. Two more young, khaki-clad staffers collected volunteer names and passed out Dayton campaign signs.
Smith continues to refine her stump speech as she travels.
She is not talking as much about a new $443 million tax-relief package that will put additional money in the pockets of more than 1 million Minnesotans. She found the tax cuts got a lukewarm reaction, with people saying they're fine, but don't go overboard and send the state into another cycle of budget cuts and borrowing.
Instead, she is finding some fire talking about the issue Republicans pound DFLers on the most: the state's work in expanding health insurance. Even with the fumbled rollout of MNsure, the state's insurance exchange, Smith said she is hearing powerful stories everywhere she goes.
In Worthington, a business owner told her that after struggling with the cumbersome website, he learned he would save $200 on his premium and get coverage for his wife, a cancer survivor.

On a mild Friday night in early October, Professor of Theatre Gregg Stull watched with keen eyes as a group of students worked through a scene of Steven Sondheim's "Into the Woods," which opened in Klein Theatre Thursday, Nov. 1. The musical is a coming-of-age story featuring the fairytale characters most anyone will remember from childhood: Cinderella, the Baker and the Baker's wife, Jack who traded his cow for some magic beans. But life is not a fairytale; a vengeful giant is on the loose and has already claimed a number of victims. Stull, the chair of the department and the director of the play, rose from his seat during a particularly poignant scene between a widowed Baker and Cinderella. But Stull wasn't sure the pair was quite conveying that. He posed a couple of questions, told them to try again. He returned to his seat. "Good, good, good," Stull said. It is a historic theater season at the University of Mary Washington. One hundred years ago, on Dec. 16, 1912, … [Read more...]

Hi KellyGreen,
You have pretty hair!
Cocoanut oil is very light. It comes in solid form (in a health food store) and I rub a tiny bit between my palms which liquefies it and I put it on my dry hair and it's very light. Just adds shine and a little softness.
I'm interested to know your results if you seal before adding gel, so please keep us posted.
Thanks for responding.
2/c and some 3A.
Protein sensitive but can use occasionally
Highly porous. Color over grey.
Best 1st day method: Super Soaker
Stylers: Mix Curls in a Bottle into everything for shine. Terrible pj
Sometimes try roller sets - classic glamor but I prefer my curls.
Every day is a gift

Written on the Dock of the Bay: Friday 9, 2013
Written on the Dock of the Bay is your weekly guide to literary and bookish happenings in the pleasantly literary and bookish Bay Area.
According to Berkeleyside, the beloved 51-year-old Berekely toy store Mr. Mopps' will be opening a bookstore just two doors from its space on Martin Luther King Jr. Way at Rose Street. And while owner Devin McDonald currently has in mind books that he loves, books that get good reviews, and books that are cute, he wants to hear what books you want him to sell. Send children's book recommendations his way at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Friday, August 9
Lip Service West // Lip Service West is for those who don't want to listen to poetry about the beauty of leaves or the meaning of butterflies amongst an audience of old grandmothers and grandpas who snap with lazy fingers. It's for those who want poetry about dirt, blood, drugs, grit, and pain, at least every other month. Get it while it's still raw this Friday at Pegasus Downtown. // DETAILS: Friday, August 9, 7:30pm. Pegasus Books. 2349 Shattuck Avenue, Berkeley
Sunday, August 11
Who Owns the Future? discussion // Taxi drivers have realistic reasons to be afraid of cars that can drive themselves, bakers should fear 3-D printers that print out cupcakes, and the humble cashier already looks onward at the machine that pumps out receipts and change, perhaps muttering bitterly to himself, "That was me, once" if envying a machine is even possible. Jaron Lanier, he author of You Are Not a Gadget, now seems less confident about that and poses a worthwhile question in his new book Who Owns the Future? If you know, you should come along to share this information with Diesel Bookstore. // DETAILS: Sunday, August 11, 3pm. Diesel Bookstore. 5433 College Avenue, Oakland
Wednesday, August 14
Musician storytelling event // The premise behind the Oakland-based storytelling night "Hook, Line, and Sinker" is that musicians are interesting. They travel, their lives can be confusing, and they're performers. But what happens when you take away their instruments, and make them talk -- for twenty minutes? Inevitable intimacy, is what happens. And then the music goes back on, and each musician plays two pieces of music to match their story. // DETAILS: Wednesday, August 14, 9pm. Disco Volante. 347 14th Street, Oakland.
Thursday, August 15
Open water swimming survival guide // One day it will hit you: You have not swum a mile in the waters of Antarctica. You have not swam around the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa. You are not Lynne Cox, who has done all of this. And maybe you've never wanted to do any of these things, but just in case the urge strikes, or if someone pushes you into the ocean and the only way out is to swim across it, you should come listen to Lynne Cox discuss her new book, Open Water Swimming Manual: An Expert's Survival Guide for Triathletes and Open Water Swimmers, at an event hosted by Green Apple Books. // DETAILS: Thursday, August 15, 7pm. Sports Basement Presidio. 610 Old Mason Street, San Francisco

App stores provide an attractive vehicle for developers to market their apps. However, Android Market and the App Store are extremely competitive. There hundreds of thousands of available apps vying for consumer attention in these markets. It is not easy for developers to stand out in such a large crowd, but it is possible.
Diligent app developers can follow a few simple rules to achieve the required 15 minutes of fame to inspire app downloads. While the following tips may seem extremely simple, many developers fail to consider them before placing their apps on the market. In most cases, these developers don't make much revenue from their app. It pays to pay attention.
Be Original
The only surefire method for success is originality. Apps that stand out from all the others are bought first, and more frequently. So many developers fail to realize this one crucial factor as they continue to shovel out more duplicated apps.
Successful app developers will be one of the following:
Someone who reinvents an existing category with unique new features
The first developer of a brand new app
Simple improvements aren't enough. Developers who strive to improve existing apps have a hard battle to fight.
Be Tweetworthy
Before an app can be successful, the app must be worth talking about. If people are willing to chat about an app, the apps chances of being successful are much higher. Again, originality will help in this arena. If an app is unique, it is almost always noteworthy.
Practice Pitching
Most developers are capable when pitching an app to coworkers and family members. However, the pitch must be carried much further than the office door. Perfect a pitch designed to sell the app and take it to the rest of the world.
Keep Things Interesting
Make sharing an app easy and engaging. Encourage sharing information on the app across social media networks. Develop a memorable one-liner that sums up the apps purpose and start tweeting and posting. Let everyone know.
Market the App
Apps don't usually sell themselves. Developers rarely develop apps that go viral without some effort. Publishing demonstrations via YouTube, and other social media networks is a wonderful way to engage potential users. Most users like to see an app in action before they take the plunge to purchase it.
Enlist Evangelists
Never take the blogosphere for granted. Blogs and social media networks aren't isolated entities. Often, they go hand in hand. The more people there are passing the word around about an app via social media networks, the greater chance there is of a blogger coming in contact with the posts. If no one catches on, stack the deck and request an app review. Review blogs and tech websites are always looking for additional content.
Think Like the Press
Provide the press with a free press package via the app's website. Make sure the app can provide a good story; journalists will be happy to pick it up. Offer high resolution graphics of related icons and screenshots for news sites and blogs. Additionally, don't be stingy with promo keys. Distribute them liberally to key contacts. Promos offer a form of cheap marketing collateral for app developers. Allow blogs to give them away free to subscribers to sweeten the deal. Free publicity always pays off.
Harness the Hype
Just like all other types of sales, app sales thrive on a certain amount of hype. Hype is great for marketing, but successful app developers will make reasonable efforts to exercise a certain amount of control. Of course, if an app is poorly developed, all the hype in the world can't make it successful. In such cases, hype can backfire. This could lead to a loss of future sales for other apps.
Marketing an app isn't difficult, but it does take forethought. App developers must realize that developing apps is a business venture, and all such ventures do involve some level of investment in time and money.

Reynolds Financial - A Great Find!
I was fortunate to discover Reynolds Financial and Tracy Reynolds during an internet search to replace an existing CPA. Tracy is a knowlegeable and experienced professional who has completely met and exceeded my tax and accounting needs and expectations. She is responsive to my questions and certainly has helped to save me money on tax filings. I highly recommend her services.
This Place is the BEST !!
We needed space to store extra furniture and personal items after moving a family member from a 3BR home into a 1BR apartment. After looking at several other storage places, Climatized Self Storage is without any doubt the best. Clean, Bright, Safe and Secure with the extras such as moving carts to help you get your items into the storage space. Plus, best of all, a GREAT staff. Don't look any further!
Excellent Service-Performed as Promised
We contacted 5 roofing companies based on reviews on Kudzu.com and received quotes from all. Deluxe was the most professional, explaining everything in detail that they proposed to do. The roofing was performed while we were out of town and the results were perfect. Deluxe Roofing did all they promised and all we expected AND MORE ! The representative was professional and was willing to spend all of the time necessary to educate us about roofing and the various alternatives. A great company !

Can I still have weight to lose and get a tummy tuck and lipo?
You are still overweight. It is not recommended to do any Aesthetic (Cosmetic) procedure in someone who's BMI is greater than 30. Not only it is unsafe but you will have not optimal results; if you have Tummy Tuck and Liposuction Surgery when you are still overweigh.
Liposuction and Tummy Tuck Surgery are elective cosmetic procedures which should be performing when you have reached an ideal body weight. If you have your surgery after you have lost all the weight your surgery will be safer and the surgical results would be superior. Your anesthesia and surgical risk would be lower as well as your recovery.
Jaime Perez M.D
Plastic Surgery Center of Tampa
You should lose the weight first to optimize the results. If you have a tummy tuck at this stage and then lose a bunch more weight, you may require having the surgery redone. When you get closer to your ideal weight, you should consult a board certified plastic surgeon and/or member of ASAPS. Cosmetic surgery is not a substitute for weight loss. www.drtoddcase.com

StarCraft 2 Closed Beta Ready to Kick Off This Month
StarCraft 2 is releasing in mid-2010 while the closed beta will hit this month.
Activision's conference call covering the results for the fourth quarter of 2009 concluded just a few minutes ago, and one of the big announcements to come out of it involves StarCraft 2 -- and more specifically, the game's upcoming beta. The wait for StarCraft 2 is nearly over, and with the game planned for release at some point in "mid-2010," Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime announced that a closed beta would kick off for the game sometime this month.
Morhaime didn't elaborate much other than to say the beta would be available globally and include thousands of players. That means it's time for StarCraft fans to start pacing nervously as they await to hear whether or not they've been accepted into the beta. If you haven't already, now is the time to opt in so that you can give yourself an opportunity to be selected.
Also of interest is the fact that StarCraft 2 will be made available for download on the new Battle.net. Make sure to check out the video tour of the new service.

After about two days of playing the beta, I have to say it's really amazing. Epic. All the adjectives you can possibly think of.
Terrans seem to have a bit of a stronger offensive force, which is a decent change from the turtle style they had in Starcraft 1, siege tanks and such. Zerg seems a bit nerfed as well, which is always welcome. :)
For those who haven't gotten an invite yet, there are a few people giving them away, my friend was begging me for a key until he tried this blog which randomly gave him one. I applied there myself but didn't get the key, but a lot of others seem to have gotten it.
Here's the link to the free Starcraft 2 beta keys.
See you guys on the battlefield!
Do ho hoPosted: Feb 10, 2010 12:00AM PST by DaveK
Absolutely can't wait for this. While I understand why Blizzard is pouring so much of their resources into WoW these days, I'm really happy to see that Starcraft and Diablo are both getting new additions to their franchises.
I love Blizzard's work, but I dislike MMOs, so I'm just grateful I don't get left out in the cold.
