Your wooden dining room table and chairs are likely to dominate the dining room and therefore need to always be at their best shine. Therefore, when you get a dining room table that looks and feels sticky, dull, and blotchy or sporting a rough top, what you may have is a buildup of too much wax on the furniture. In the U.S. aerosol furniture polishes are the most popular wood polishes, with approximately 80 million units being sold each year. However, many of these contain either silicone, gum turps or petrochemicals and toluene, which give poor results to your polishing and may even be dangerous for your health.
However, since you may not be one of the DIY types to make your own wood polish, you may have been stuck with these options and now have a waxy build-up on your dining room tables and chairs. Here are some ways to address this and get back that natural sheen that will brighten up your dining area.
Use what you have
The removal of wax takes time but is more easily done now than it used to be before the development of lacquer finishes and U/V coatings. As a result, there are several ways that you can address the condition of your dining room table. The first is to use a vinegar and water solution to clean the wax from the table. You need to ensure that the table is clean first and then apply a solution of half-and-half white vinegar with water and wipe the furniture in the direction of the grain. Another way to approach this is with the use of black tea solution in a ratio of 3 times the strength made for drinking. This should be steeped for about 10 minutes, allowed to cool and then used to wipe the table in the direction of the wood grain.
The table should be thoroughly dried and then buffed, whichever one of these methods that you decide to try. Also remember that you should try the solution of a less conspicuous area of the table before using them on the whole table to see how well the wood will be able to manage the application.
Other solutions
While there are commercial cleaners available, you need to ensure that you choose one that is water-based rather than one containing solvents. These may be less time consuming than trying other wax removers. However, if you are the adventurous type you may opt to use such products as mineral spirit or paint thinner as a wax remover. If you do not already have these at home then you should be able to get them at any hardware or art store as they are also used as oil paint removers. As usual, remember to use on a test area before using it on the whole table.
A cheaper alternative to this thought is the use of Dove brand dish washing liquid, which can be applied to the table by rubbing in the soap. This should immediately be followed by using a dry towel to remove the residue and rub the table.
Finally, you need to be aware that some of these issues may be in relation to the age of the furniture and not necessarily the wax that has been used. So, if your dining room table is older than 25 years, you may need to consult a professional before trying any of these suggestions. Contact a business, such as Furniture Classics, for more information.Learn More
When you walk into different furniture stores, you automatically assume that the furniture came from some off-site shipper or manufacturer. On a closer look, you may see furniture tags that read "factory direct" or "on-site manufacturing." These two labels can be confusing unless you know exactly what they mean and what it means to the furniture offered for sale. Here are the defining differences between these two furniture store labels and why it matters.
What "Factory Direct" Labels Mean
The "factory direct" label means that the furniture was made in a factory and shipped directly from the factory to the store. The factory may be owned and operated by the furniture store, or it may just have a contract with the furniture store to produce a lot of its furniture. Usually (but not always), the furniture is manufactured (mostly) here in the U.S. so you do not have to pay import fees on top of the price of the furniture you buy. Additionally, if the factory is especially close to the furniture store (e.g., within the same state as the store or within the same region of the state) you will also be charged less for the shipping fees.
What "On-Site Manufacturing" Labels Mean
The "on-site manufacturing" label means that these pieces of furniture are made right there, in the store. There is a factory attached to the back of the store where several employees spend their time churning out furniture to be sold in the store in front. Mattress shops are probably the most common type of on-site manufacturing and sales in furniture, but chairs, tables and furniture with storage drawers follow closely behind. If you buy furniture with the on-site manufacturing label, you are not charged any shipping fees or import fees. Additionally, if there are any problems with or flaws noticed in the furniture you buy, the store may provide a reduction in cost or offer repair and replacement services in conjunction with lifetime guarantees.
Why These Distinctions Matter
With on-site manufacturing, you can speak directly to the quality control associate about any problems you have with the furniture you have bought. However, factory direct furniture (made here) means that it is covered under some type of warranty, a feature frequently not provided by imported furniture from other countries (e.g., China, Taiwan, India, etc.). When you buy furniture with either of these labels, you are supporting the American economy, too. Be sure to read the tags and labels on each piece of furniture you want to buy before you buy it.Learn More
As you are remodeling and decorating your home, barn wood is not likely to be the first choice in décor material that comes to mind. However, the rustic look of barn wood can look beautiful. In fact, here are some fun and creative ways you can incorporate barn wood into the décor of your home.
1. Turn The Wood Into Wall Art
If you have a nice solid piece of barn wood, consider drawing and painting a picture on it. You could decorate the wood with your favorite animal, your favorite color, or your favorite shape. You could also just paint it all the colors of the rainbow. Then, you would have a rustic looking piece of rainbow wall art to hang up. The barn wood will make a nice canvas for whatever you want to decorate it with.
2. Add Barn Doors to Your Bedroom
Consider converting your bedroom door and the closet door in your bedroom to a barn door. If you have a master bathroom inside of the rom, consider converting that door as well. The barn wood on the door will give the room a warm and inviting feeling. It may feel a little like you are sleeping inside of a cabin.
3. Frame or Hide Your Television
Consider cutting a barn door in half and hanging it from the wall above your television. You can push each half of the door apart to frame your television, or you can push them together to hide it when you are not using it. This is a fun and easy way to put the television away when you have guests coming over or you want to enjoy family time without the television.
4. Add a Warm Welcome to Your Home
Convert your entry door to a gorgeous barn door. A sliding barn door will make a very attention grabbing front door and it will save space as it opens and closes without taking up so much room.
5. Accents and Trim
Barn wood will make great accents and trim all throughout your home. All you have to do is walk around your home and think about how things would look if there was a little rustic wood being used as the trim or as an accent.
As you can see, there are a lot of fun and creative ways to add barn wood to your home's décor. Fortunately, these are all fairly easy too. Check out reclaimed wood décor by MyBarnwoodFrames.com for more information.Learn More
Regardless of whether you're trying to furnish your home office, or if you have an entire office building to find stock for, it's important to get a good deal on the chairs and desks that you need. You may not have the money to pay full retail price for the furniture that you need, so you are on the hunt for good deals. Don't let a lack of funds hold you back from getting the office furniture that you need; use this information to learn more about two tips you can use to obtain office furniture without breaking the bank.
Other Office Buildings May Be A Sure Bet
One of the first things you want to do when you need office furniture on a budget is visit other office buildings. You may be amazed at the wonderful deals you're able to score simply by being in the right place at the right time.
Established office facilities regularly switch out their furniture. It may even be a part of the annual budget to purchase new desks and chairs at a certain time of each year. This can work in your favor if you strike when the iron is hot, and you can score office furniture at a deeply discounted rate, or even for free.
The best way to get in on this is to visit local office buildings and leave a business card. When you arrive at the front desk, ask to speak with a manager. Explain to the manager that you'd like to be considered when they are ready to throw away their used office furniture. Be sure to get the manager's contact information so you can phone or email them on a periodic basis.
Understand The Sales Cycle
Another technique you can use to get office furniture on the cheap is to understand the sales cycle. Every item that shows up on the shelves and floors of your favorite department stores has a sales cycle. If you are willing to follow this, you could end up with affordable office furniture.
The key is to go into the store and watch the items that you want. Note the prices of several different chairs and desks. Go back on a weekly basis, and notice which pieces have been discounted. These are the items that aren't selling that the store needs to move. Once the items fit into your budget, make your purchase so you can save big.
Getting affordable office furniture doesn't have to be difficult if you know what to do. When you need new pieces for your office, keep these tips in mind so you can make affordable choices.Learn More
A piano is a delicate and complex musical instrument that needs to be cared for and maintained to be in optimal sound and operating condition. If you own or use a piano and want to take proper care of it, you should consider and perform the following maintenance and care tasks:

If you suffer from back pain, you are definitely not alone. About thirty-one million Americans report experiencing some back pain every year. Of those, many seek relief through changes in their mattresses. Some doctors will even prescribe orthopedic mattresses, and send their patients to places like a Tempur-Pedic mattress outlet to find a specific mattress type. There are three types of mattresses that your doctor may prescribe (or at least recommend) to help alleviate your chronic back pain.
Contour Mattresses
Contour mattresses are designed to provide firm support. They are constructed with special coils that fit the contours of your body, supporting the heavier areas like your hips and shoulders. Your waist, which has a tendency to drop and align with your hips and shoulders when you sleep on your side, finds greater resistance within a contour mattress. This forces your spine to remain in proper alignment because your waist stays where it normally would be (and should be) if you were not laying down in bed.
Flex Mattresses
The word "flex" here refers to this mattress type's ability to heat, cool and adapt to two levels of support for people who share a bed. For an optimum night's sleep, sleep experts recommend a cool bedroom environment, a temperate mattress and not too many blankets or heavy comforters on the bed at night. Getting a good sleep means that your body wakes refreshed and not tight, tense or still stressed from the previous day, all of which are contributing factors to back pain. A flex mattress is perfect for people who experience consistent changes in body temperature at night and are frequently awakened by these temperature changes, thereby suffering from a lack of decent and restorative sleep.
"Cloud" Mattresses
This mattress type is the softest mattress you can buy that still provides therapeutic and orthopedic support for your back. Since other really soft mattresses lack support, your back suffers. Wanting to sleep on something that feels so comforting and comfortable when you crawl into it is understandable, but if you feel like you have been twisted into a pretzel when you climb out of bed in the morning, your soft mattress does not provide your back with enough support. Your preference for cushiony comfort does not have to take a back seat when you have a "cloud" mattress because they are super-soft for the first few inches on top, but then have plenty of orthopedic support underneath your "cloud" mattress's comfort zone.Learn More
While buying a large scanner for your office is a necessity if you need to frequently digitize a large amount of document, the glass surface that most scanners have is very vulnerable to getting obscured by dust and needs protection. To be truly effective, this protection will have to include both direct cleaning of the screen itself with microfiber cloths and a reconfiguration of the room the scanner is in that involves moving notorious dust magnets far away. When you're rearranging the room with your scanner, pay special attention to removing these four types of office furniture and accessories.
The older and rougher a rug in your office is, the more likely it is to be a safe harbor for a large amount of dust. Another factor contributing to the danger of a rug is how many people walk over it on a given day.
However, even a relatively new rug with thick, long threads is still enough of a danger that it's prudent to remove it from the vicinity of your scanner.
Office Chairs With Fabric Covers
While office chairs covered with leather are generally fine, chairs covered with cloth are even more of a danger than rugs because the dust clinging to them will be at almost the same height as the scanner. If you can't remove all nearby office chairs because someone needs to sit down and do work in the room with a scanner, either find leather chairs or cover all the chairs in the room with specialized dust covers.
Frequently Used Filing Cabinet
Since most filing cabinets are made of metal, making it relatively easy to wipe them down with a dust cloth, a filing cabinet that isn't opened very often doesn't present a particular danger to your scanner. However, if someone's always coming in to take papers and folders in and out of the cabinet, you should be very concerned about lingering dust on the papers and folders getting thrown into the air and eventually landing on your scanner.
Coat Rack Or Hook Mount
Since so many people put their coats into closets filled with dust when they're at home, it's important to move any coat rack or mount for coat hooks away from the vicinity of your scanner as soon as you can find a better place for it. If you're having trouble finding an opportune space, install individual coat hooks on the walls of all the building's offices and cubicles.Learn More

Video: Dallas police shoot knife-wielding man
Police report says officer fired on the man after he walked toward police with a knife
Associated Press
RYLIE, Texas — Dallas police have opened a criminal investigation and placed an officer on indefinite administrative leave after he shot and wounded a mentally ill man.
A police report says Officer Cardan Spencer fired on 52-year-old Bobby Gerald Bennett after he walked toward police with a "knife raised in an aggressive manner."
But WFAA-TV in Dallas released surveillance video Thursday from a neighbor's camera. That video shows Bennett standing as two officers approach him. Seconds later, Spencer fires at the man and he falls to the ground. Bennett remains in a hospital intensive care unit.
Police arrived in the suburban neighborhood on Monday after Bennett's mother, Joyce Jackson, called police and told them that her son, who is a schizophrenic, was angry and pacing the street with a knife.

Hygiene, Vaccines Can Stop World's Greatest Child Killer
Washington — How to save children's lives from pneumonia will be getting a lot of attention on World Pneumonia Day (WPD) November 12.
The Global Coalition Against Child Pneumonia, a partnership of more than 140 government, international and philanthropic organizations, sponsors WPD to raise awareness that pneumonia is the top killer of children under age 5 worldwide. With 99 percent of the deaths occurring in the developing world, 1.3 million young children died from pneumonia in 2011.
The disease is both preventable and treatable. WPD, first observed in 2009, is an attempt to broadcast the importance of protecting children from developing pneumonia by obtaining accurate diagnoses and proper medications to save young lives.
Scaling up access to vaccines is one of the key strategies for quashing pneumococcal disease, the leading cause of deadly pneumonia, and that effort has made significant progress in recent years. The Republic of Congo is one of the most recent nations to add the pneumococcal vaccine to its expanded immunization program, which is expected to reach more than 164,000 children between the ages of 1 and 2 by the end of this calendar year.
UNICEF reports that Congo is the 15th sub-Saharan African country to add the pneumococcal vaccination to its standard bundle of childhood inoculations. But UNICEF's Congo representative, Marianne Flach, said parents have to make sure the immunization regimen is followed.
"It is essential that each parent and community make sure that all the children between the age of 2 and 11 months are vaccinated," said Flach.
Immunizations are important, but preventive steps are also recommended by the Global Coalition Against Child Pneumonia. They include:
• Maternal breast feeding.
• Hand washing with clean water.
• Environmental sanitation.
• Vitamin A supplements.
• Eliminating household air pollution, especially smoke from unsafe cook stoves.
The Global Coalition Against Pneumonia asserts that pneumonia control must be accelerated if the world is to reach the United Nations' Millennium Development Goal of reducing mortality of children under age 5 by two-thirds by 2015.
Pneumonia is also a great economic burden for families, communities and governments, the coalition says. Greater disease prevention efforts could help avoid the costs of treatment and other costs that can occur due to family illness by $51 billion, according to the coalition.
U.S. organizations that are members of the coalition include the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institutes of Health, the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves; the U.S. Fund for UNICEF, the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunizations, the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and the American Academy of Pediatrics.

For his outstanding performance on Saturday at Harvard, Max Guercy earned Conference USA Freshman of the Week honors on Monday. The guard was joined as a weekly honoree by Memphis' Joe Jackson, who was named the league's Player of the Week.
The Arleta, Calif. native led the Owls with 19 points on 6-of-8 shooting at Harvard. In addition to his career high in points, the guard dished out a season-best five assists to pace the team.
Guercy sank all four three-point attempts on the afternoon and hauled in one rebound in addition to swiping a steal in Rice's (3-10) only game of the week.
For the season, he averages 8.5 points, ranks second on the team with 1.8 assists per contest and shoots a team-high 42.1 percent from downtown.
The Owls return home on Wednesday to open league play against Southern Miss at 7 p.m.

Sri Lanka's economy is facing a downfall, Marxist party warns
Wed, Feb 20, 2013, 01:28 pm SL Time, ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.
Feb 20, Colombo: Sri Lanka's Marxist party Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) warns that the country's economy is facing a downfall in several sectors.
JVP parliamentary group leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake said that the production sector has fallen with even the government's initiatives, Api Wawamu, Rata Nagamu, and Divi Neguma, that were aimed at increasing production becoming a damp squib.
He noted that the garment industry is affected by the loss of the GSP plus facility.
"Apart from the production process, a large number of large-scale development programmes have turned out to be white elephants where the country's economy is concerned," Dissanayake said.
He explained that projects like the Southern Expressway and the Hambantota Port are not linked to the country's economic activities.
"One of the reasons for the current economic crisis is the lack of a connection between the development projects and the country's economy," he said.
He added that the losses in state institutions and wastage have compounded the crisis.
Citing examples, Dissanayake pointed out that SriLankan Airlines had recorded a loss of Rs. 19 billion in 2011 and the CPC recorded a loss above Rs. 100 billion in 2012.
"There's wastage in maintaining a jumbo Cabinet, holding night races and overseas jaunts of the President and government ministers. All these have burdened the country's economy," he observed.
According to Dissanayake, the debt taken by the government is also affecting the economy on another side.
The government has estimated revenue of Rs. 1,304 billion for 2013, which it would not earn. However, loans to be taken for 2013 are estimated at Rs. 1,303 billion.
"The government seems to be trying to run the country on monies earned through revenue for six months and the remaining six months on loans," Dissanayake said.

Alexis Petridis is the Guardian's head rock and pop critic and the music editor of GQ magazine. He also presents the Music Weekly podcast
Punk concept albums may no longer be a contradiction in terms, but many of the traditional downsides to such undertakings come to bear on this unwieldy 90-minute monster
Florence Welch pulled out all the stops, while Kanye's set was faltering and relatively restrained. But everyone was talking about the rapper – even Sunday's closing act the Who, says Alexis Petridis
Pyramid stage
Weller, Townshend, Daltrey and co. are in crowd-pleasing mode tonight, swinging microphones and charming the Glasto audience with veteran panache
The hip-hop giant proclaims himself the greatest living rock star, and his set has a potent ferocity – but there are gaps and stutters, and he cuts a strangely lone figure in front of the vast crowd
Florence Welch seizes her Glastonbury moment and wrestles it to the ground with abandon in her storming Friday night headline set
Why Unknown Mortal Orchestra's Multi Love is the one album you should hear this week – video
He's one third of a Mercury-winning band, an acclaimed remixer and a producer by appointment to pop royalty like Drake and Alicia Keys. Jamie Smith explains why going solo with his debut album, In Colour, suits him just fine
Alexis Petridis's album of the week Florence + the Machine: How Big How Blue How Beautiful review – same drama, new hitsDon't believe the talk about Florence Welch's new album being a stripped-down affair – this is often still as melodramatic as pop gets, and sometimes to a fault. But the songs are strong enough to carry that weight
The androgynous 20-year-old Las Vegas-based singer-songwriter has the voice and the music to drown out the hype. His debut album is a subtly-done disco and house infused delight, says Alexis Petridis - and the ballads might be the best part.

Storage performance in a virtualized environment is not just about IOPS, it is about how well that potential performance is guaranteed to individual VMs for these apps as the number of VMs keep going up real time. In his session at 18th Cloud Expo, Dhiraj Sehgal, in product and marketing at Tintri, will discu...

Essex Fire Service was also called to the incident. They have said no one is trapped and no one is injured.
The fire service said the water was stopped by the crew:
Firefighters were sent to assist at the scene while the ship's own crew plugged the hole from inside and built a compartment with water tight doors to stem the leak as part of regular safety precautions.
The passengers and their vehicles are still on board but in no danger and the vessel will shortly be re-berthed so that they can continue their journey."
Rain and blustery winds will spread across the region this evening but it will turn clearer later in the night. Further showers tomorrow.
There are now more hospital admissions than ever before due to obesity. A survey found Hertfordshire had the most admissions.
There'll be a few showers about at first this afternoon but they will ease later before more prolonged rain arrives in the evening.

BREAKING: World pin shortage critical
Poster Handle
Anonymous Coward
Post Content
What makes you people think this is a fucking JOKE?
Pin shortages can strike the the econobunny at its very heart. Just last year a shortage of pins caused a train derailment in Chicago. Livestock was runnig amuck in the streets and womans hair was on fire.
No, if you all had any sense at all you would be at Staples right now stocking up on pins before the price goes up any higher. Walstreet analist Mark Mark estimates that the price of pins could exceed $105 per barrel - by the end of the decade. He also recomended real estate BEFORE it went down. "Mark my words" said Mark,"the pin shortage will get much worst before it gets much worse".
Meanwhile back at The Offence Department, not one to pin his hopes on an early retirement, Marine GeneraL May Mymm began putting the entire Corp on high alert. Saying that the shortage had grave internationl implications. One measure already in place is a network of emergency pin distribution centers set up in all 49 States. Vermont is said to have its own supply if indeed rationing becomes a reality.

John Key is eager to "help out an Aussie mate" by agreeing to take 150 of Australia's refugees a year.
OPINION: This has caused a good deal of a ruckus, partly because Australia's attitude to boat people is not widely admired in the world.
But the real objection to Mr Key's policy is that it allows a fortunate minority to jump the queue.
And this means that 150 other refugees, typically rotting in wretched camps near some of the ghastliest places on earth, will not be able to come to New Zealand.
Their places will be taken by those who were lucky enough to have become the responsibility of Australia. This isn't really fair. Australia's rejected refugees are not necessarily more deserving than the 150 who will miss out.
A more compassionate approach would have been simply to increase the overall refugee quota by 150, bringing it to 900.
Then no-one could have complained, and indeed John Key could claim to have lessened the misery faced by the wretched of the earth while at the same time helping out his Aussie mate.
No doubt Mr Key would argue that New Zealand is already doing its bit by accepting the 750 stipulated by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
But by accepting the 150, New Zealand is encouraging queue-jumping, something that Mr Key has previously criticised. The prime minister has repeatedly warned that sooner or later a boatload of refugees would make it to New Zealand.
This seems unlikely. The distance from Indonesia is enormous, the winds and the tides dangerous, the risks great.
The people smugglers who run this appalling trade in human misery are unlikely to make a serious attempt to reach these shores. Perhaps one boatload might one day make it through. This would be an exceptional event.
Mr Key argues that taking the refugees is a quid pro quo for the refugee intelligence that Australia shares with us.
Somehow he thinks that we owe the Aussies for heading off the refugees before they get here, as though they are doing it for that reason rather than for their own pressing domestic political imperatives.
It seems more likely that Mr Key is lending a hand for much the same reason Helen Clark helped out the then-Australian prime minister John Howard over exactly the same issue a decade ago. New Zealand is the smaller partner in the Anzac relationship.
It is the younger sibling in constant danger of being ignored by the older, bigger one. Julia Gillard, unlike her predecessor Kevin Rudd, has visited New Zealand and remained apparently sympathetic to its concerns.
John Key wants that to continue. Hence the helping hand over refugees. Hence the decision not to push too hard over Kiwis' access to the dole and other welfare benefits in Australia. As Mr Key says, "we need them more than they need us".
Refugees are just one of the tokens in play between Australia and New Zealand. It's a shame, though, that realpolitik has caused an injustice to refugees themselves, a group of people with no say at the diplomatic table.
