Tumor Necrosis Factor and Alcoholic Liver Disease
Presented at the Alcohol-Induced Immunopathology Symposium, New Orleans, LA, October 17–18, 1997.
This research is supported by the National Institutes of Health Grants 1K21 AA00205-01, 1K20 AA00190-01, 1P01 NS31220-01A1, R01 AA010762, M01 RR02602, and by the Veterans Administration.

Increased levels of hepatic and serum tumor necrosis factor (TNF) have been documented in animal models of alcoholic liver disease and in human alcoholic liver disease. This dysregulated TNF metabolism has been postulated to play a role in many of the metabolic complications and the liver injury of alcoholic liver disease. One potential therapy for alcoholic liver disease may be agents that down-regulate TNF production or block TNF activity. Indeed, agents such as prostaglandins and glucocorticoids (both inhibit TNF production) have been used in both human liver disease and experimental models of liver injury, and anti-TNF antibody has recently been shown to attenuate the hepatotoxicity in an animal model of alcoholic-related liver disease. In this study, we demonstrate that a simple ex vivo system can be used to initially assess potential efficacy of anticytokine agents when administered to humans. Both prednisone and a prostaglandin analog were effective in downregulating TNF and interleukin-8 production. The liver is normally resistant to TNF cytotoxicity. Sensitivity to TNF cytotoxicity is thought to occur when there is inadequate production of hepatic protective factors. In this study, we showed that, when patients with acute alcoholic hepatitis were matched with trauma patients for serum levels of interleukin-6, they had similar depressions in the negative acute phase protein, albumin, but markedly different increases in the major acute phase protein, C reactive protein. Patients with alcoholic hepatitis had a very blunted response. We also showed that inhibiting activation of the redox sensitive transcription factor NFKB sensitizes to TNF-induced hepatocyte death in vitro. This transcription factor is important for the production of both cytokines and many acute phase protective factors. Several hepatic protective factors are induced by TNF. One possible mechanism for liver injury in alcoholic hepatitis may be inadequate generation of hepatic protective factors. Our future understanding of mechanisms of alcoholic liver disease will involve understanding the balance between noxious and protective factors in the liver, and this should lead to rational therapy for this disease process.

13-year-old girl has her nose broken being punched in the face in attack at America's 'most violent public swimming pool'
Attack: Sara Puk was left with blood pouring from her nose for three hours after being targeted by a group of five older girls
A 13-year-old girl was in surgery for a broken nose after a gang of bullies tormented and punched her in a vicious attack at the notoriously violent McCarren pool in Brooklyn, New York.
Sara Puk was left with blood pouring from her nose for three hours after being targeted by a group of five older girls.
It is the latest and most severe in a string of violence at the Brooklyn, New York swimming pool which has become a brawling hot-spot for feisty teenagers.
The pool reopened at the beginning of July after a $50 million 30-year renovation but the celebrated relaunch has brought with it misery for staff and guests alike.
Sara's trouble began as she and two friends splashed about in the water, shrieking and giggling on July 11.
An older girl, Eva Hawley, yelled at them to 'shut up' she told the New York Post so to avoid any further bother the three of them decided to pack up and leave.
But as they walked through the exit they were accosted by the same 16-year-old and four others.
Hawley put her face close to Sara's and told her: 'I'm going to hit you and I'm just going to walk away.'
She was egged on by the others, who yelled: 'Go get her!' as Sara and her friends started to run away.
'They started following us. I was trying to stand up for myself, I was like, "there's five of you guys there's only three of us, we're really little,"' Sara said. 'I was scared, it was five against three.'
The bullies gave chase, one of them filming the confrontation on her cell phone and they soon caught up with their victims.
Hawley then allegedly landed a right hook to Sara's nose.
The attack is the latest and most severe in a string of violence at the Brooklyn, New York swimming pool which has become a brawling hot-spot for feisty teenagers
An unnamed source who saw the video on YouTube before it was taken down by administrators told the Post: 'They were tormenting her and laughing. The victim starts to cry and they are mocking her for crying.'
The bullies eventually tired and walked away, leaving Sara with blood pouring from her nose, trying to stop the flow with a beach towel.
They returned as Sara sat on a bench and one of them ripped the towel from her, telling Hawley: You are a bad-ass bully. You f***ed up her nose good.'
After they left for a second time Sara and her friends sought help from a parked ambulance. She was taken to Wyckoff Heights Hospital where surgeons operated on her damaged nose.
Some days later Sara recognised Hawley at a church festival and pointed her out to her mother who called police.
On July 3 a group of teens attacked two police officers, sending the officers to hospital and the teens away in handcuffs
She and a 14-year-old were arrested for their role in the attack.
It is the fourth violent incident at the Williamsburg pool since the reopening.
On July 3 a group of teens attacked two police officers, sending the officers to hospital and the teens away in handcuffs, Gothamist reported.
And last week a lifeguard spoke out about the difficulties he faces keeping order over gangs of aggressive teenagers.
He told the Post he prays for rain on a daily basis to keep the 'drunk and high' hordes at bay.

Ruinart Brut Rosé Champagne $74.99
92 points Vinous: "Light orange. Sharply focused red berry and tangerine scents are complicated by suggestions of allspice and cinnamon, with a hint of smokiness in the background. Sappy and minerally on the palate, offering fresh strawberry and blood orange flavors lifted by juicy acidity. Packs a serious punch but carries no excess weight and finishes stony and very long, with echoing red berry character.

Jancis Robinson: "100% Pinot Noir. Dosage 9 g/l. Mostly from 2006 with a bit of reserve wine from 2005. The faintest hint of pink. A fruity nose and chewy, chalky, substantial red-apple fruit on the palate. Lots here and good for the money. A champagne for food." (3/2010) K&L Notes: This is a real deal Champagne from Courteron, a village in the Aube department of Champagne, closer to Chablis than the city of Reims! Their methods are as Burgundian as their location. They are biodynamic, too, the strictest form of organic viticulture. The assemblage of several Pinot Noir vines from diff... Read More »

Freshly cut flowers, sweet red berries and a hint of aromatic spices wrap around the generous, caressing finish. The Rose is 90% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir based on 2008, with 30% 2007 reserve wine. Disgorgement date: February 29, 2012. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2016."

The palate's a little richer than the nose suggests, but still crisp and packed with light red berry fruit flavors. Strawberry really singles itself out on the finish. Balanced, supple and smooth. Drink now." (7/2015) 93 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Based on 2008 and 20% younger reserve wines (averaging five-years-old) the NV Rosé Reserve includes 5% red wine. Disgorged in early 2015, this cuvée shows a delicate bouquet that leads to a lovely, pure, elegant, ...Read More »

Chewy and focused on the palate, offering bitter orange pith and red berry skin flavors that gain sweetness with air. At once ample and lively, finishing with very good cut and lingering toastiness. (JR)" (1/2015) 90 points Wine Spectator: "Fresh and lively, with ripe strawberry, black cherry, smoke and whole-grain toast notes riding the refined mousse. Not a powerhouse, but very drinkable.

This is a fresh, energetic wine that impresses for its length and persistence. The wiry finish suggests the wine will drink well for a number of years, perhaps more if the fruit fleshes out. ...Read More »

Wow, is this stuff dark! If you are interested in tasting a "red wine" Champagne, this is your opportunity. This potent, even tannic Champagne reminds me very much of red wine, but with wonderful bubbles. It is entirely estate-grown Pinot Noir, from the Fluteau estate in Gye-Sur-Seine, made by the macerating all of the grape skins so they stay in contact with the juice to get the maximum flavor and color. This rosé is a great bottle for a picnic with cold cut sandwiches, or even with dessert. (Gary Westby, K&L Champagne Buyer) The base wine is from 2010 ... Read More »

Made only in great vintages, this still Pinot Noir comes from the Bollinger family's oldest vines in Ay. This vineyard is one of the few ungrafted, pre-phylloxera sites in France. We managed to get 12 more bottles! This wine is a real Pinot Noir, one can see through it, and it is haunting rather than powerful. I would compare it to Volnay, with subtle strawberry fruit on the nose and considerable vivacious acidity. I would pair it with lamb during an all-Champagne meal! (Gary Westby, K&L Champagne Buyer)

The Fleury rosé is made entirely of Pinot Noir from Courteron, in the southern part of Champagne. Locals proudly say that their town is closer to Chablis than Reims, and the style of wine owes as much to Burgundy as the stylish bottle does to the grand marques of Champagne. The vineyards, which are all owned by Fleury, are farmed 100% biodynamically, the strictest form of organic viticulture. The base wine is entirely from the 2012 vintage. This Champagne, composed of 100% Pinot Noir, is made by maceration, with all of the skins in contact with all of th... Read More »

Chewy and precise on the palate, offering bitter pear skin, redcurrant and honeysuckle flavors plus a suggestion of buttery brioche. Finishes sappy and long, leaving notes of toasty lees and orange pith behind.

96 points Connoisseurs Guide: "*Three Stars* Elegant and fruity at the same time with a quick invitation from bright, pure cherryish notes and then filled out handsomely by whiffs of chalky soils and well-integrated, rich and uplifting yeast-driven scents, this wine manages to be both vigorous and layered at one and the same time. Its bubbles are insistent, finely carved and add to the early sensations of lightness and energy yet also carry the wine long into a balanced, refined finish. And its latter palate grip is exactly what one should expect from the genre. While service with lig ...Read More »

2005 produced exceptional Pinot Noir for Bollinger, sourced from Chaudes Terres and Clos St Jacques, the two vineyards in Champagne that survived phylloxera and are still on their original rootstocks. This special wine was aged in the cellar for more than twice the amount of time called for by appellation rules and given zero dosage. From the winery: "Deep gold.

It has the same piercing purity and minerality with the heft of the Pinot still to fully emerge. Hints of menthol, spices and berries wrap around the eternal finish. Clos d'Ambonnay, from a single, walled-in parcel in the village of Ambonnay, is in many ways the red equivalent of Clos du Mesnil.

Love the part where ash catches Shiva! Indeed a very cool and funny final fantasy flash!XD
Great STuff
going on 6 years old and it's still a classic compared to what was around back then and even now. By the way, I like how Squall's eyes are brown instead of blue, for some reason it looks better to me.
It's funny; I look back on this now, from an older perspective, and it feels weird: Like I'm watching my younger self be immersed in this. It makes me both happy and uncomfortable at the very same time.
Thanks :)
it was pretty halfassed. animation was ok, but the voice acting was really bad. The story line and unnececarry scenes were... well, unececary and pretty bad. 6/10
. . . . . .
Well, I am glad I made an entrance and all but a pokeball defeating the great Shiva. Lol, well it is creative I will give ya that but I could never really let that happen. Thousands of years of pride as a summoned one would never allow me to live it down. Other then that quite nice especially the part about Ash. Couldn't have done a better job myself Vincent.

Frankly, I think Yelp, Urban Spoon, and TripAdvisor have revolutionized the way I travel on business and for pleasure. Of course the reviews for a given establishment have to be taken with a grain (maybe several grains) of salt, especially when they are few in number. But I'm sure I've found good restaurants, hotels, or stores in both big cities and small towns that I would have never found without them. The ability to focus in large cities on specific neighborhoods and price ranges is especially helpful. So a few questions for Fodorites:
1. Which of these "peer review" do you find the most useful (e.g., Yelp for restaurants, TA for lodging, etc.)?
2. What are your "rules of thumb" in maximizing the usefulness of and filtering the information given on these sites?
3. Are there others besides Yelp, Urban Spoon, and TripAdvisor that you've found to be particularly helpful?
4. Which of these sites has the best smart phone app?

How helpful do you find "peer review" sites like Yelp, Urban Spoon, etc.?
Frankly, I think Yelp, Urban Spoon, and TripAdvisor have revolutionized the way I travel on business and for pleasure. Of course the reviews for a given establishment have to be taken with a grain (maybe several grains) of salt, especially when they are few in number. But I'm sure I've found good restaurants, hotels, or stores in both big cities and small towns that I would have never found without them. The ability to focus in large cities on specific neighborhoods and price ranges is especially helpful. So a few questions for Fodorites:
Report Abuse
I only use Fodors and TA for my references, but I am generally pleased with the information I receive. I do try to read a number of reviews and not base my decisions on one or two. I also read the profile and other posts of the reviewers to help evaluate their comments. Sorry, I don't do smart phone apps.
For example, I have read a number of your trip reports and think you provide very balanced evaluations and excellent advice.
Report Abuse
I use Fodors, TA and Yelp. Usually I recognize the Fodor's contributors so I value their advice. TA is very helpful especially when I'm looking for a restaurant within walking distance of my hotel or another site. Yelp also helps me identify possible places but the opinions are often all over the place.

I use TA to vet hotels. I don't look at the ranking, just the rating and the actual text of the posts. I find the Traveler's Photos to be very useful.
I use Yelp to look for restaurants, and have a general rule that under 3-1/2 stars is a no-go, 3-1/2 is "fine" and 4+ is good.
And of course Fodor's forums.
Report Abuse
I use TA for hotels. I don't find TA or Yelp that reliable for restaurants. I've eaten at some really bad restaurants that were in the top rankings on TA or 4+ stars on Yelp. I think sometimes it comes down to the lowest common denominator. For restaurants I use the Chowhound forum.
Report Abuse
I use TA and Fodors for hotels but not for restaurants as the results for my local area are really terrible.The worst chain restaurants are at the top, awful si I trust trust those.
I use Urban Spoon, Chowhound and Yelp for dining recs.
Zagats too but now it's through Google? Not sure it they made the switch yet.
Report Abuse
I used Zagat too (always subtracting 3 points from every restaurant's points, because I think that's how much they're inflated on average), but the app is no more since the Google buyout. I don't know what's going to happen now.
Report Abuse
Especially like Chowhound, in additon to Zagat, Urban Spoon, Yelp, TA and the others. Best to cross check if you really want to know about a place - and also - read reviews from the local newspapers.
I think they all offer something - especially if you read a number of the individual reviews.
Report Abuse
With anything, it's wise to read with discernment.
That being said, I've generally done best with Chowhound, at least for food. Fodor's guidebook suggestions for food and lodging can be good, while Frommer's guidebook suggestions seem to be a little more hit-and-miss. Frommer's definitely seems to have problems with keeping reviews up-to-date.
I've found Zagat less good for food than Chowhound, though still useful to an extent.
I've historically been very suspicious of Tripadvisor and Yelp given their significant problems with phony raves and gripes, and am much more suspicious of both since I found out businesses can pay a fee to have bad reviews removed from these sites. I rank these way down on the trust meter.
Report Abuse
I use the Yelp app on my iPhone when I'm traveling and want to find something good nearby. I've had great luck with it in San Diego and Chicago (the two main trips I've taken since getting my phone). Like anything else, you have to filter the reviews - I tend to ignore ones that read along the lines of "service sucks" or "omg pancakes!!!" Past that, I look for reviews from people who focus on the same things I would. I don't care much about cocktails, for example, so I ignore reviews that only talk about the bar menu. And I try to filter out any that sound way too much like a restaurant manager wrote them.
Report Abuse
I find the pictures people post about restaurants on yelp to be helpful. I don't put much stock in the words, but a picture paints a pretty good idea of what to expect.
Report Abuse
I use the Yelp app as well when I am travelling - esspecially for business. When travelling for pleasure, I usually have time to research some restaurants ahead of time, but when travelling for work, not so much. The Yelp app helps me find decent local places quickly.
Report Abuse
At least for my hometown, most of the people who respond to TA are tourists who seem to either go to restaurants that are known or convenient and about half of Yelp do not know what they are talking about especially when it comes to ethnic food.
Report Abuse
I use Fodor's for specific information about things like getting from the airport to the city, transit passes, good neighborhoods, things I might enjoy, especially when they are recommended by a regular poster. I pay no attention to "Never Use XYZ" posts.
I use Chowhound and Urban Spoon a lot, Yelp less, and Trip Advisor only casually. I don't really look at **** and other ratings but read the reviews if it sounds at all interesting (price, cuisine, location).
I also use Open Table because it doesn't matter how good a place is if you can't get in. But I use it with a huge grain of salt because many restaurants only allow you to book very early or late tables on OT; they save the good ones for reservations by phone or walkins.

LONDON Britain's Carl Froch got his revenge with victory over Denmark's Mikkel Kessler in a unanimous points decision to retain the IBF super middleweight title in a thrilling clash at a packed 02 Arena on Saturday.
The 35-year-old Froch, who lost to Kessler in Denmark three years ago, put on a typically gutsy performance to win with a scorecard that read 115-113, 116-112 and 118-110 in favor of the Nottingham fighter to the delight of the 20,000 crowd.
Froch's record is now 31-2, with his only other defeat coming at the hands of American Andre Ward in Atlantic City in 2011, compared to Kessler's 46-3 after an action-packed fight that saw the Dane hanging on near the end of the final round.
"It feels really, really good, only thing that feels bad is I have had to beat a real gentleman and a nice man, Mikkel Kessler," Froch told Sky Sports. "It's 1-1 now, who knows do you fancy a third one? Best of three maybe?
"I deserved to win, but he won't lie down for any man and massive respect to him," added Froch before turning his thoughts to a possible rematch with unbeaten WBA title holder Ward who was watching at ringside.
"The winner of this fight should be moving on to avenge their other loss and now I move on to the second best boxer in the world," said Froch. "Let's get Andre Ward over to the UK and fight him here."
The 34-year-old Kessler, whose only other defeats were against unbeaten Welshman Joe Calzaghe in 2007 and Ward in 2009, said: "I gave it my all but didn't have the energy and couldn't cope with Carl. It is nice to fight such a warrior."

Tips for Saving Money on Your Cell Phone
Cell phones come in all shapes and sizes with some models performing impressive features that would normally be limited to a top-of-the-line computer. Unfortunately, as cell phone technology gets better, the costs get bigger.
You may find yourself paying not only for your phone service on a monthly basis, but you could be paying extra for mobile data, text messaging, insurance, and more. To cut costs and save money on your phone bill, try some of the six simple strategies reviewed below:
Whether you have the latest smartphone or an outdated flip phone, mobile phone service charges can be hefty and unexpected fees can add up quickly. To save money on your cell phone bill, put some of the six simple strategies outlined above to work.
Mortgage Maneuvers
Unless you're plopping down cash for your new home, your mortgage is going to be critical to your home's cost. Check with a wide variety of lenders before you settle. Banks, credit unions and mortgage brokers all offer mortgages. However, the interest percentages they offer can vary significantly and save you — or cost you — a lot over the years.
The length of mortgage makes a big difference. A shorter term — 15 years as opposed to 30 — saves you thousands and thousands of dollars over the course of the loan. However, you have a higher monthly payment, even if the interest rate is lower.
Negotiation Know-How
A house may have a certain price tag, but that doesn't mean the seller won't accept less. A counteroffer is usually appropriate. Don't go too low, or you risk insulting the seller. If that happens, you can kiss your chance at the house goodbye. Also, if an inspection reveals a significant problem, such as a poorly maintained roof, ancient furnace or foundation issues, a purchase price compromise might be in order. Your real estate again can advise you on a fair offer.
Optimal Options
You may have your heart set on buying a house in a particular neighborhood, but the prices are out of reach. Go ahead and check out different areas. It doesn't cost anything to look, and you may be pleasantly surprised when you wind up saving money. Find out what the tax rates are in all locations. A lower percentage can make a big difference at closing.
You might even be able to build the home of your dreams for less than you'd buy an existing home. For instance, if you like the rustic look, compare prices of current log cabins to the cost of log cabin kits.
Bargain Buys
Sometimes you can find a real bargain on a home, but it comes with strings attached. For instance, foreclosures are often great deals. However, many of these houses need a lot of work, so be realistic. Do you have the time and skills necessary to do the repairs?
Another possibility: the short sale. Ironically, this can save big bucks but take a long time. In this case, the house is too expensive for the owner, and the mortgage holder has to be on board with selling the house at less than the outstanding balance.
Hold Onto Your Heart
Don't get attached too early. If you get your heart set on a house, you may turn a blind eye to significant issues and end up paying more than the property is worth — and more than you can afford. Maintain a critical perspective. If you find yourself falling in love, consult a trusted friend or family member who has no stake in the purchase. This individual can give a frank reaction that might open your eyes.
Houses are one of the biggest investments consumers make. The home — and payments — will be with you for years. Do yourself a favor and explore alternatives so you end up with a house you like at a price you can afford.

Mistakes to Avoid Getting Started
Making the decision to simplify your life is admirable and a great way to save money. It definitely isn't easy, however, which is something that many people fail to realize. It takes a lot of time and planning to significantly change your lifestyle – especially if you want those changes to be sustainable. Before you jump into a new frugal lifestyle, take a moment to learn about some of the mistakes people make so you can avoid making these same mistakes yourself.
If you have ever done any research into frugal living, you may have heard the advice that you have to make a certain financial investment in order to get started with your new, frugal lifestyle. For example, you might need to purchase the supplies to build a garden so you can grow your own produce or you might invest in more ecofriendly appliances. What you need to avoid, however, is going on a shopping spree in the name of your new frugal lifestyle. It is one thing to buy an inspirational book to get you started but it is quite another to bring home half the bookstore. If you want to start living frugally you have to learn how to spend smart.
Another common mistake people make when they decide to adopt a frugal lifestyle is trying to make too many changes too quickly. Take the time to examine your spending and your habits to identify areas where you might be able to cut back a little without completely depriving yourself. Tackle one project at a time, working your way toward a more frugal lifestyle little by little instead of throwing out all of your possessions and then finding that you no longer have the means to get by.
Tips for Simplifying Your Life
Now that you know what NOT to do when getting started with a frugal lifestyle, you may be wondering where to start. Instead of completely turning your life upside down all at once, try these simple tips to work your way toward frugal living:
Living a frugal lifestyle may be a simpler way of life but there is nothing simple about it. Learning to live with less is difficult and it is not something you can do overnight. It takes time, work, and dedication to achieve a frugal lifestyle but if you are willing to do the work you will find that it is well worth it.
Top 10 Herbs to Grow at Home
There are countless different herbs to choose from and which ones you select is largely a matter of choice. If you want to maximize the benefits of growing your own herbs at home, however, you should select herbs that grow quickly and that do well in containers. Here are some of the top ten herbs for growing your own herbs at home:
Tips for Growing Herbs Indoors
If you want to maximize the benefits of growing your own herbs at home, you should consider growing them indoors so that you can enjoy them all year round. Another option is to grow them in containers so you can keep them outside on the patio or in the backyard during the summer and then move them indoors during the winter. When it comes to growing herbs indoors you need to find a location that gents plenty of natural sunlight – look for a place near a window that receives at least 4 hours of sunlight each day. Your best bet is a window that faces south or southwest.
In addition to choosing the brightest spot for your herbs, you also have to be smart about how you plant them. Some herbs grow tall while others spread, so do your research beforehand and choose the best container for each herb. You should also make sure that the pots you choose for your herbs facilitate proper drainage – you don't want to drown your herbs but you don't want them to dry out either. Clay pots are a popular option because they are inexpensive and they allow for drainage. The problem is that they can dry your herbs out quickly when the furnace kicks on during the winter. Glazed or plastic pots are great for indoor herbs as long as they have a drainage hole and you use a saucer or liner.
When it comes to caring for your herbs you need to strike the right balance between watering them often enough and watering them too much. Most herbs actually do not need a low of water – test the soil by pushing your index finger into it down to the knuckle. If the soil feels completely dry it is time to water. To properly water your herbs you should take the pots to the kitchen and place them in the sink. Pour in enough water to fill the pot and let it soak all the way through. After the soil has drained, soak it again then put them back. It is up to you whether you fertilize your herbs or not but, if you do, don't add too much.
Whether you want to save money or you just like to use fresh herbs, growing your own herbs at home is a great idea. Choose your herbs according to what you use most (and what tends to do well in containers) then get started!
Where to Find Old Furniture
The wonderful thing about old furniture is that it isn't exactly a commodity. For many people, throwing the old item out and buying a new one is easier (and sometimes cheaper) than repairing the existing item. Fortunately, this means that you can sometimes find great pieces at an extremely low price. During the summer you should keep an eye out for garage sales and estate sales – you can also pay a visit to your local thrift stores and even used furniture stores, if you have one nearby.
You might also be able to find some old furniture by asking around – you never know who might be looking to get rid of some old furniture from their garage or basement! The key is to find the furniture as cheap as you can so you can afford to spend a little more on quality materials to rehab it.
Quick Tips to Restore Wood Furniture
Before you try to remove any paint or stain from your rehab furniture, you should give it a good cleaning first. Find a good all-purpose cleaner and scrub it down to remove dirt, dust, and residue. Once the piece is clean you can really take a look at it and decide which option is best to remove any existing paint or stain.
In many cases, a sanding block is all you need to take the furniture down to the natural wood. It might take some time and a lot of elbow grease, but many of the paint strippers and removers on the market just don't work as well as a coarse grit sandpaper. You'll want to start with a smooth surface anyway when it comes to repainting.
Once your piece of furniture has had all of the stain or paint removed you should check for any parts that need to be repaired. A little glue and some wood filler goes a long way in making simple repairs. Besides, once you paint or stain the piece you won't be able to tell that it was ever broken! Finally, once the piece is clean, stripped, and repaired you can add a new coat of paint or stain to give it new life. You can even get creative with additional materials like upholstery fabric, pieces of wallpaper, and new hardware.
When it comes to rehabbing old furniture, the more you do it the better you will get. Don't be afraid to start with an inexpensive piece of furniture (something you find at a garage sale) and try out a few different techniques. There are also television shows devoted entirely to rehab projects so find one you like and put some of their tips to the test!
Best Foods to Store for an Emergency
When it comes to stocking your emergency pantry you want to focus on the foods that will give you the best bang for your buck. Look for foods that provide plenty of nutrition and calories but that will also last.
Stocking an emergency pantry with fresh fruits and vegetables won't do you any good because they will go bad in a matter of days – you want nonperishable foods that will last for months. In addition to stocking your pantry with foods that have long shelf-lives, you should also check and rotate your stock every six months or so to keep things fresh.
Here is a list of some of the best foods to stock in your emergency pantry:
These are some of the best things to keep in stock in your emergency pantry at all times. Right before an emergency happens, assuming you have some warning, there are some other things you should purchase – things like fresh fruit, potatoes, squash, dried meats, etc.
Things that have a limited shelf-life but will help give you some variety if you have to live off of your stores for a little while.
Tips for Starting an Emergency Food Pantry
In addition to thinking about what kinds of food you should store in your Tips for Keeping Cool While Camping this Summer you also have to think about the best way to store them. During an emergency you may not have any power so you should store your emergency foods in an area that is naturally cool and dry – a basement is ideal.
If you have the means to do so, build yourself a little pantry equipped with shelves to keep things organized. When you stock your shelves, just make sure that the items with the soonest expiration dates are kept in the front so they are used first. Check your supplies every few months and use things that are about to expire then replace them with newer items.
Something else you need to think about when stocking your emergency pantry is how you are going to cook the food. Many foods like peanut butter, crackers, and dried fruits do not need to be prepared but soups, stews, and vegetables are generally better when they are cooked.
A charcoal grill or a propane stove is as great option – you may not have electricity to run a hot plate. You should also keep some cans of sterno handy as a last resort. Make sure you keep plenty of salt, pepper, and dried herbs on hand to add flavor to foods that can easily become dull and boring if you eat them every day.
You may not be able to stop a disaster from happening, but you can do your best to prepare for it. Stocking an emergency pantry is a great way to protect your family in the event of a disaster and it may give you peace of mind knowing that even if you can't predict the future, you will be ready for whatever happens.
So which investments can you make to boost your home's value without breaking the bank? Check out these frugal options:
Freshen up With Paint
A gallon of paint can be had for under $50, and it's a quick way for any DIYers to make a dated room look like new. If you're planning to sell your house in the near future, a neutral color is a good choice. Exterior paint is also important to boost curb appeal, though the size of your house will determine how costly it is to repaint the siding.
Focus on the Entryway
Curb appeal is a big deal, and making a good first impression will help you get the most for your house when you decide to sell — not to mention creating an inviting tableau for guests in the meantime. Replace the front door, add a unique knocker and make sure the lighting is adequate and updated. You can also add hanging or potted plants to add to the welcoming look.
Replace the Garage Door
Speaking of doors, a garage is a major asset to your home's value, so let it shine with a new garage door. Just check out a few examples to see the difference it makes. Looks are important, but so is functionality: Make sure your new garage doors open and close easily and have all the latest safety features for the best return on your investment.
Add Insulation
Not every home improvement project is about appearances. If you live in an older home, green renovations like adding insulation or replacing windows can have a huge effect on your bottom line. The money you save on your heating and cooling bills will eventually pay for the insulation entirely. Buyers are also very interested in eco-friendly homes, so energy-efficient upgrades are a big plus.
Clean up Your Landscape
While professional landscaping can be expensive, a little elbow grease is usually all that's required to maintain your yard. Trim hedges and trees to shape them, and consider adding annual flowers to a bed that's easily seen from the street. Fertilize, irrigate and mow your lawn to keep it healthy and green so that your home looks as great outside as it does inside.
If you're willing to roll up your sleeves and tackle these jobs yourself, you can increase your home's value without spending much money to get the job done. Before starting any home improvement project, it's a good idea to do your research: Get cost estimates from the pros and find out what's involved in doing the work yourself to make an informed decision. Then pick a weekend and get to work!

Often we allow these small trespasses, but if you've had the bad luck of coming home to a burglarized house or car, or have had your wallet lifted from your pocket, you know the feeling of violation that accompanies the experience. There is a common thread between your pizza-nabbing pal and a committed burglar — they both took advantage of your oversights.
The best way to stop a thief is to think ahead and identify where you're creating opportunities. Here are a few suggestions:
Always register the serial number of your bike so you can prove ownership if someone steals it. Car owners who live in high-crime areas can protect their ride by having a fenced-in carport with a locked gate.
Renters insurance is typically very affordable, and will cover many items you might leave at home during work. Make sure that you check the limit of your policy though: For high-dollar items like computers and jewelry you may need to take out an additional floating policy.
By practicing these five simple suggestions, you can greatly reduce the chances that you'll be the target of theft. Remember that avoiding attention is always the best way to ensure your things stay safely in their place, but if things do go wrong you can take comfort in the protection provided by your insurance.

"When you accept money in payment for your effort, you do so only on the conviction that you will exchange it for the product of the effort of others. It is not the moochers or the looters who give value to money. Not an ocean of tears nor all the guns in the world can transform those pieces of paper in your wallet into the bread you will need to survive tomorrow. Those pieces of paper which should have been gold, are a token of honor -- your claim upon the energy of the men who produce. Your wallet is your statement of hope that somewhere in the world around you there are men who will not default on that moral principle which is the root of money." ~ Ayn Rand
