text: Wouldn't the same problem then apply? By the time pf sees packets originating on the pf box itself, they are already outbound on a specific interface, and cannot be routed to the correct interface. I think I'll have to use rtables after all. That just means I'm limited to destination routing only and not full policy routing. It also seems that the "loopback" option (two bridged tap interfaces) can't work because the packets always bypass the actual full stack of the interfaces. The only weird thing with that is that when I set my default route to tap0 and block inbound on tap1 (bridged to tap0), the pings are stopped, but when I pass the traffic it does loop until TTL expires. This suggests that pf does indeed see those packets, yet when I try to apply routes to them inbound on tap1, they go nowhere... I'm convinced that I just don't know the interactions between pf nat, pf route-to and rtables well enough to crack this one...

Why Waste Your Time Watching Sports?
Every year when the sports season comes fans look forward to watching their favorite team play the game they love, on what has come to be the most easy, convenient way to see them play: on the television! What if one didn't have that shiny new television sitting in your living room? It makes people wonder, where did it all get started? Who invented all of the fun games we play now and how did they appear on the TV?
Many TV stations and channels cover the major sports events; some have even devoted their entire programming to one or two sports. ESPN has had its own network for twenty-five years and its still going! FOX presents all different varieties of shows as well as its own sports networks, including MSG or Madison Square Garden. Even the very popular baseball team the Yankees have their own channel call the YES Network. It is brand new and has been going for almost two years now.
So why waste time watching sports on TV? First of all, it's free! Second of all, one gets the best view, and from many different angles! Any snack wanted is just a few steps to the refrigerator, and all the background information wanted is straight from the commentators. Plus, it's impossible to get a sunburn sitting in the living room!

AWARDS VICTORY TO ALLIES.; French Seeress Predicts the End of the War Before July.
Special Cable to THE NEW YORK TIMES. ();
December 17, 1914,
, Section , Page 3, Column , words
PARIS, Dec. 16. -- The Petit Parisien prints an interview with Mme. de Thebes, who enjoys the reputation of having prognosticated a great war this year, but who denies that she predicted the death of the Kaiser on Sept. 29, as has been asserted. She says that the war will end early next year, between March and July, and that France will be victorious and resume her rightful place as a leader of civilization.

Scott Shenk writes about transportation issues affecting Fredericksburg-area residents.
Lake Anna bridge will again be closed overnight for deck work
If the weather holds up, the Route 208 bridge over Lake Anna will be closed Monday night and early Tuesday morning so crews can pour concrete for the new deck. The bridge also has been closed previously for the project.
The closure will last from 7 p.m. Monday until 5 a.m. Tuesday.
The Virginia Department of Transportation will post electronic message boards notifying drivers of the work and detours.
VDOT suggests the following detours:
- Eastbound traffic: Take routes 522, 719, 612, 601 and then 208.
- Westbound traffic: Take routes 601, 612, 719, 522 then 208.
The work on the bridge, which spans Lake Anna in Louisa and Spotsylvania, is part of a two-year, $4.8 million rehabilitation project and is scheduled to finished in December.

T9 using a bluetooth keypad
I know I know, texting while doing other things (we all know what I'm talking about) isn't safe. However, one thing I miss about the flip phone that I ditched a month ago is that I could text completely without looking by using T9. I was really good at it. With the full QWERTY on my Samsung Moment . . . no bueno. I have to look, and sometimes, it's not safe.
I had a thought the other night. Is there a way to pair a bluetooth number pad with a phone and use it for T9? I assume the number pad would have to be used upside-down (keypads are flipped from phones), but it would work wonderfully. I'm sure some software would be needed, but I'm no application developer, so I don't know where to start. Any thoughts?

Automation of your label printing process - Ensuring a Successful RFID Implementation - Forklift Mounted Computing - Identifying a hidden problem in your operations - Secrets to optimising your warehouse - Warehouse Stock Management Basics 101
Warehouse optimisation is a term that is readily thrown around the marketplace today and for many is an unachievable target but something you have to try and deliver. Too many times these projects end up costing more than budgeted, are delivered late and fail to live up to expectations.
Proper planning, scoping and equipment selection can deliver the optimised performance you are looking for. In this article, we will go through the key processes and points you need to consider to maximise your chances of success in optimising your warehouse management and processes.
Measure up the size of your warehouse, most installations will require a wireless network and different access points have different ranges. Look at your racking height and other obstacles as these can in some cases block or restrict the range of a wireless network. Every wireless network access point has a maximum effective range in sq. metres. The cost of installing the required numbers of access points needs to be included. Have a scan completed of the radio signals entering in from outside, these can be other warehouse wireless networks, mobile phone networks or two way radios being used nearby. Select a wireless network that operates on a channel that won't clash with surrounding background interference if possible. Typically a secure wireless network with good data encryption is the solution, good planning will eliminate this problem.
Calculating how many different product items you process and their volumes on a daily, weekly and monthly basis is essential. Warehouses that handle large volumes of stock, consisting of many low volume product types require a different management system to large volumes of the same product. Another consideration to include is stock that requires specialised handling or storage. Today's forklifts can be fitted with an endless arrangement of material handling devices for any conceivable product. If included in your project they can reduce stock damage and the time taken to handle goods.
Too many times the barcode labelling aspect is forgotten or downplayed in a warehouse management project. In reality barcode labels should be included in every management system as they are the cornerstone of goods movement management. Check what barcodes if any are on the products as they arrive to you, do you need to re-label them at the point of receipt, or are they already barcoded in a format that both you and your customers can use. Most optimised warehouses opt for mobile barcode printers as the workers can print and apply the barcodes as they receive the goods from anywhere within the warehouse, as well as printing labels on outward bound goods at order picking and dispatch areas. Having a fixed location desktop barcode printer will require all goods to be brought to the printer for labelling and then moved again to their allocated storage location. This process can either create or save huge amounts of man hours on a daily basis.
Many times a warehouse is going through the optimisation process due to growth and increased workload but along with that growth comes demand on storage space. Depending on the types of products in your warehouse, the option of stacking products instead of using racking can be a real space saver. To do this another level of stock management needs to be put in place. A perfect example of this is the Skytrax indoor positioning system. Using similar technology to a GPS system, this solution can track the movements of your stock down to 3 sq. centimetres and up to 6 items high, displaying the locations and details of every item on the warehouse manager's computer. This technology can be deployed by hand scanning of product barcodes, automated optical readers placed on the front of your forklift or RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) tagging of each of your products, depending on the end solution you require.
These stacking systems will save a large percentage of your warehouse space but come at an extra cost. However, if you are considering re-locating to a large facility, it's worth considering and doing the numbers as an alternative to the expenses and disruptions of moving.
If you have a current bin location system, then check to make sure that they consist of a mix of alpha and numeric characters. The system needs to be consistent, with simple, logical and sequential identification, allowing operators to quickly locate bins and stock. If you don't have a bin location system then it must be included in your project.
It's not always necessary to dump all of your current systems to make way for a new deployment. If your backend ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) is capable of processing the stock management reliably and provides the reports you require, then modify your new warehouse handling solution to integrate with it. Apart from the cost of installing a new ERP this will save time and disruptions on training and deployment.
Do you have automated storage or conveyor systems already in place? Look at what automation investments you have purchased in the past and see if they can be integrated instead of thrown out. Reducing the cost of your new system implementation will increase the ROI (Return on Investment) and success of your new system providing it does not hinder the performance.
Take some time with this step and look at all the significant areas of opportunity for improvements to be made. Review your processes and look at the costs and procedures of completing tasks. These key areas will define the key functionality of your new system. For example, if you find that you are always completing stocktakes due to inaccuracies from fast turnover of stock, then your new system must be able to handle large SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) deliveries and order picking. If your stock rotation is failing then your new system needs to record the exact location and details of every product. If your forklifts and other indoor vehicles are underutilised, then you should include an indoor vehicle management component.
No two warehouses are the same and your key improvement points will be unique to your operations.
Data capture technology is improving in leaps and bounds providing an endless range of alternatives in product identification. Different technologies are generally designed for specific purposes and following is a generalised guide on the three key alternatives as to what technology is most suitable for specific scenarios.
Manual scanning of barcodes can seem like a backward step in your goals to optimise and automate but it definitely has a place and can provide great improvements in your workplace practices. Companies such as Motorola manufacture wearable terminals (WT4000) that can strap to your wrist and the scanning function is actioned via a laser barcode scanner worn on a finger. This allows warehouse workers full use of their hands and the barcode scanning process doesn't disrupt their duties. This is an efficient solution for order picking, where many small items are packed into an order or in the case of handling products off and onto a conveyor system and both hands need to remain free.
This same function can be performed via a mobile computer but will require one or both hands to hold and operate. If complex orders or interactive input is required, then the mobility of the unit and ability to hold powerful programming can provide great improvements.
It's rare nowadays to include the use of a tethered barcode scanner that uses a USB cabled connection but they have their place in some instances where goods' processing is completed at a single point where a computer is located.
In most instances this technology has its place where pallets and large boxes are being handled. Automated barcode reading is performed using an optical reader, where a single photo image is taken of the barcode and the included programming can identify the details on the barcode via the use of OCR (Optical Character Reading) technology. These barcode readers can be placed on a trolley or an indoor vehicle such as a forklift and actioned to take a read via a motion detector that will identify when an object is placed within range. By placing this technology on the backrest of a forklift for example, every pallet or product picked up is automatically scanned and the barcodes read. The downside of this technology is the limited area that an OCR reader can read, requiring all barcodes to be always placed in the scan area all on one side. If the barcode is out of visual range to the camera then it won't be identified.
There has been a lot of press about this technology both good and bad and it has not taken over warehouse practices as first thought. It does have value in some warehouse processes and can provide time saving functionality and data accuracy improvements. The main key improvement from RFID technology is to understand that its ability to read without a line of sight is unique to any other solution. In the case where pallets or boxes containing smaller boxes or products are being received, an RFID read of the container will in many cases disclose the contents of the main container without the need to unpack or break it down. This can save many man-hours and eliminate the need to manually enter into your ERP when goods have been received or dispatched.
The downside to RFID technology is the cost, not of the installation of readers so much as the cost of purchasing single use RFID tags for every product or package. Re-useable, hard cased ridged RFID tags can be applied to your pallets to reduce this on-going costs factor but will limit the read to only what has been pre-identified on the pallet. However, this solution can provide real-time tracking of the location of the pallet within your warehouse facilities, when combined with the right programming.
Voice has become more and more reliable, mostly due to technical advancements in the headsets themselves. This solution is a perfect fit for situations where even a wearable manual scanner is impractical, such as freezer rooms where works have large gloves on and any hand movements or hand data input is impractical. Voice systems allow the user to read out the bin location check digits and depending on the functionality required, can make complex data input by simply speaking the required commands.
The problem has always been that in the environments where voice is most suitable such as the above freezer room scenario, other environmental issues are also present such as noisy air conditioners and fans. The latest headsets have improved microphones that can filter out many of the unwanted sounds and should be considered if required.
This is critical to get right and there are many companies approaching businesses with so called "optimised warehouse solutions". Ideally you need to be working with as few suppliers as possible in the overall project. The more suppliers involved, the more you will find one company saying that this or that area is the others responsibility and so on.
Your providers should keep you well informed of all details for every step of the project starting with the first proposals. Don't let them convince you it is too complicated. If you don't have the time to be 100% involved, assign another employee to the project on your behalf. Always ask for references and the contact details of other customers who have had a completed project.
Optimisation is by its definition improvement, make sure that you have done the numbers and know exactly what areas of your operation is projected to improve and measure the results in detail to compare. Never forget the business drivers that prompted you to begin this project, they have to be fulfilled.
Peacock Bros. has been designing and implementing optimised smart warehouse management solutions for many years and has a dedicated team of pre and post sales technical, engineering and business systems experts.

Samantha's Favorite Reads of 2011!
As another year comes to an end, a fun thing we book bloggers like to do is look back and crown our favorites of all favorites when it comes to books we read. Throughout 2011, I read and reviewed 143 books, a twenty-two book increase compared to 2010. Not too shabby considering I also published my own novel and started CLP Blog Tours! I can't wait to see what 2012 has in store for me, but for now, let's reflect on my Favorites of 2011!

As it is, newborn children in Georgia often come home from the hospital with a bag of free goodies: baby wipes, diapers, instructions about breast feeding and immunizations. Now Gov. Zell Miller wants to throw in a little something extra: a cassette tape or compact disc of classical music.
The music would not be intended to soothe the frayed nerves of parents getting their first doses of sleep-deprivation from their colicky babies. Rather, Mr. Miller, a devoted fan of country and bluegrass music, is convinced that Bach and Mozart can stimulate brain development at very early ages.
That is why Mr. Miller, a Democrat, proposed as part of his $12.5 billion state budget on Tuesday to spend $105,000 to make music available to each of the approximately 100,000 children born in Georgia each year.
''No one questions that listening to music at a very early age affects the spatial, temporal reasoning that underlies math and engineering and even chess,'' the Governor said today. ''Having that infant listen to soothing music helps those trillions of brain connections to develop.''

'Breaking Dawn' Casting Rumors: Lee Pace Potential Garrett?
A recent E! Online report that Lee Pace , who is known for his role in "Pushing Daisies," could possibly snag the role of nomad vampire Garrett in the Breaking Dawn movie has Twi-Hards questioning if this is official, or not. E! reports that Lee is 'thisclose' to landing his spot in Breaking Dawn, however Gossip Cop has a different view.
Gossip Cop has checked with their sources and reported the following:
"A production source tells Gossip Cop no one has been cast, and a rep for Pace informs us the actor has not been approached.
So while it's certainly possible that Pace tops a current wish list for producers, Summit, or director Bill Condon — much like Joseph Gordon-Levitt's loose "connection" to Batman 3 — Pace's casting shouldn't be considered imminent."
Remember, this is a possibility – and Gossip Cops 'sources' could just be holding back because they don't want the public to know anything yet. Take everything in these early stages with a grain of salt.

at House of Blues, June 28
With his transformation from heavy metal hellion to rap-rockin' b-boy, his much-talked-about video (s)exploits and that just plain embarrassing episode of MTV Cribs ("Yo yo, check this out!"), Tommy Lee is an easy target. Losing his girl to Kid Rock sure doesn't help. But despite it all, the tattooed tomcat manages to maintain a childlike enthusiasm that makes you wanna root for him. At least that was the case at the second of two packed shows at House of Blues last week.
Brimming with a diametrically diverse blend of bleached Pamela wannabes and homely former heshers who've probably stuck by him since the Motley years, the crowd actually appeared to be digging what the former Crue drummer was dishing. Focusing on material from his new release, Never a Dull Moment, Lee took center stage, all casual in a Fuct logo T-shirt and jeans, strumming his guitar and attempting to croon tunes that recalled Everlast one minute and White Zombie the next. "We love you, Tommy!" screamed two wiggling, jiggling mall rats behind us, in between gyrating to every song, even the slow ones. Interestingly, there were quite a few more languid numbers, such as the weary "Hold Me Down" and the melancholy "Blue" ("About my dad, man"). But just when we thought T-Lee might be mellowing, he stormed out with a raucous rap from his former group Methods of Mayhem and an even older-school rawk attack on "Shout at the Devil."
On the record, Lee is helped out vocally for a couple of numbers (Incubus' Brandon Boyd and Deftones Chino Moreno each guest on a tune), but on this night, no such luck. Some of the songs have real hit potential -- catchy choruses, grungy riffs -- but there's one unfortunate, extremely obvious problem that everyone (including the fans and Tommy himself) seems to have overlooked: The dude can't sing. Of course, that never stopped Vince Neil.
GARY WILSON, RILO KILEY, THE MOVIES at the Knitting Factory, June 29
If elevator music could be punk, it might sound like Rilo Kiley, and that's no backhanded compliment. The Los Angeles band owned tonight's crowd with its spunky mix of guitar heroics, '60s horn bleats and twee keyboards topped off with winner's-circle bonhomie. Guitarist/cofront man Blake Sennett could have called everyone's mom a whore, and they still would've cheered him, while vocalist Jenny Lewis was having way too much fun for a professional. The plucky pixie balanced her bright-eyed 'n' bushy-tailed exuberance with acid parlor wit: "This next one is a cover . . . of a Depeche Mode song, just kidding. Actually, it's a Spin Doctors song . . . just kidding."
While the Movies didn't offer the same level of showmanship, their droney bass-driven bliss-out definitely got under people's skin. There was a palpable sense of something different on the horizon -- mid-'80s art-funk? pop-prog? So that's what they mean by "power trio."
A common misperception is that Gary Wilson is a music-industry victim. In truth, he willingly disappeared, J.D. Salingerlike, after bursting onto the scene in 1977 with a limited poor-quality vinyl pressing of You Think You Really Know Me, and its recent reissue has brought the idiosyncratic performer to answer the call of his clamoring cult fan base. "I cannot believe he is not the headliner," a disgusted college-radio program director sputtered. During his set, the crowd's expressions were a mixture of amusement and uncertainty as a stage extra periodically came out to dash Wilson with flour while the singer writhed on the floor, serenading a pair of mannequins. But Wilson's performance-art weirdness is in striking juxtaposition with the glammy riot of his retro-contempo sound, a seductive mélange of '70s bar-band rock and Roxy Music disco thump, courtesy of a slammin' bass/drums section and interweaving noodle-poodle from three keyboardists, one of whom resembled the hookah-smoking caterpillar in Alice in Wonderland. Wilson oughtta get a lifetime-achievement award for his psychosexual head-fuck of a cabaret, but it was all a bit inpenetrable, and the 50-something enigma uttered not one word of acknowledgment to the audience. After an encore, one neophyte-convert fairly summed up the lingering vibe: "Spoo-keee." (Andrew Lentz)
at the Fold, June 27
These days, when someone tells you that a band is from "out of town," they may just mean Corona, as was the case with the Rattlesnakes' show at the Fold. The band even made do without a tour bus or roadies, amazing for such a long journey from their foreign Inland Empire terrain. They invaded the strange, exotic land of L.A., and kicked more than a little ass.
The distortion was up and the sweat was flowing. Onstage, the Rattlesnakes seemed more genuinely charismatic and electrifying than most so-called rock & roll combos around. From their unison choral shouts and solid, grooving bass lines to singer Nathan's Tasmanian devillike stage movements, the band was on fire. While it's certainly possible to say that the Rattlesnakes' music has hints of the solid '70s rock sound currently enjoying a revival, it'd be just as possible to reach further back and say that the honesty the Rattlesnakes bring to their music reminds one of the time when rock & roll was new, threatening and nearly illegal. In a time when many rock bands have dissected music into a cold science with the clear intent of striking it rich, the Rattlesnakes are shakin' the system, raising the volume, and sweating all over you in the process.

Advocates push for greater school funding equity
In the fight to guarantee an opportunity to learn for all children, it's critical that our federal leaders invest in public education. That's why organizations such as the Forum on Educational Accountability, the National Council of Churches, the Advancement Project, 21st Century School Fund and the Public Education Network have been making recommendations to the federal educational Equity and Excellence Commission about how to improve school funding equity across the nation. Recommendations include working with states to ensure adequate school facilities, promoting school policies that ensure a positive climate conducive to learning and providing high-quality early childhood education. Below is a statement from Molly Hunter, Director of Education Justice and the Education Law Center:
The Equity and Excellence Commission The Commission's 27 members come from a range of backgrounds including education, law, civil rights, tax, finance, government, and business. The panel also has seven ex-officio members representing the Department of Education and the White House. It will examine the disparities in educational opportunities that contribute to the achievement gap, with a focus on funding systems, and recommend ways in which federal policies could address such disparities.Visit the Commission's website Read the Commissions first report: |
Over the past five months, the federal educational Equity & Excellence Commission, charged with recommending how the federal government can increase educational opportunity by improving school funding equity, has heard from many people and organizations concerned about quality public education. In public testimony and written statements, Commissioners have repeatedly been made aware of the urgent need for public school equity and the Opportunity to Learn for all students.
In July, Commission members received a report, "The Impact of School Facilities on Civil Rights and Student Achievement," submitted by multiple organizations, including the Advancement Project, 21st Century School Fund and the Public Education Network.
The report points out that adequate facilities are a prerequisite for increasing student achievement. School buildings in poor condition result in lower student attendance rates and higher teacher turnover rates, and both of these situations reduce student learning, the report explains. The report also includes six excellent and practical recommendations for federal action to improve public school buildings,
The National Council of Churches (NCC) issued a Pastoral Letter on Federal Policy in Public Education, An Ecumenical Call for Justice in May 2010, and recently forwarded the letter and other relevant documents to the Equity Commission's members. The letter states the following NCC positions: " ... public schools must guarantee each child's right to educational opportunity;" " ... we value public school educators;" and " ... we value democratic governance of public schools," over private charter boards.
The Forum on Educational Accountability (FEA), which has been advocating for improvements in federal education law (Elementary and Secondary Education Act, ESEA) for eight years, also submitted its "All Children Deserve the Opportunity To Learn" statement to Commission members in July. FEA asserts that "Congress should:
- address funding disparities and equity in education, in its own law-making and in conjunction with the states;
- support students, including those with diverse learning needs, both in school and out of school;
- take additional steps toward ensuring all children have access to highly effective teachers, leaders, and other school personnel;
- provide increased access to opportunity through high quality [preschool];
- work with the states to ensure adequate school facilities, programs, and services; and
- promote school policies, including school discipline, that ensure a positive school climate conducive to learning."
Many other organizations have also submitted their recommendations to the Commission, which was created in February 2011, at the request of Congress and on the initiative of Representatives Honda (CA) and Fattah (PA). The Commission was established to:
" ... collect information, analyze issues, and obtain public input regarding how the federal government can increase educational opportunity by improving school funding equity. The Commission will also make recommendations for restructuring school finance systems to achieve equity in the distribution of resources and further student performance, especially for students at the lower end of the achievement gap. The Commission will examine the disparities in meaningful educational opportunities that give rise to the achievement gap with a focus on systems of finance, and recommend appropriate ways in which Federal policies could address such disparities."

(At the risk of being told this has been posted before...)
I received this e-mail today (and a few times in the past), and while some of the tips merit a "well, duh," others are a little more out there. There are some I'm even sure are bunk. Have any of the TM tried any of these? What did you think of the results? * Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent ice cream drips.. * Use a meat baster to "squeeze" your pancake batter onto the hot griddle - perfectly-shaped pancakes every time.. * To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes. * To prevent egg shells from cracking, add a pinch of salt to the water before hard-boiling.. * Run your hands under cold water before pressing Rice Krispies treats in the pan-the marshmallow won't stick to your fingers.. * To get the most juice out of fresh lemons, bring them to room temperature and roll them under your palm against the kitchen counter before squeezing.. * To easily remove burnt-on food from your skillet, simply add a drop or two of dish soap and enough water to cover bottom of pan, and bring to a boil on stove-top - skillet will be much easier to clean.. * Spray your Tupperware with nonstick cooking spray before pouring in tomato-based sauces - no more stains.. * When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking pan, use a bit of the dry cake mix instead - no white mess on the outside of the cake. * If you accidentally over-salt a dish while it's still cooking,drop in a peeled potato - it absorbs the excess salt for an instant "fix me up". * Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator - it will keep for weeks. * Brush beaten egg white over pie crust before baking to yield a beautiful glossy finish.. * Place a slice of apple in hardened brown sugar to soften it back up. * When boiling corn on the cob, add a pinch of sugar to help bring out the corn's natural sweetness.. * To determine whether an egg is fresh, immerse it in a pan of cool, salted water. If it sinks, it is fresh - if it rises to the surface, throw it away. * Cure for headaches: Take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.. * Don't throw out all that leftover wine: Freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces.. * If you have a problem opening jars: Try using latex dishwashing gloves. They give a non-slip grip that makes opening jars easy... * Potatoes will take food stains off your fingers. Just slice and rub raw potato on the stains and rinse with water.. * To get rid of itch from mosquito bite: try applying soap on the area, instant relief.. * Ants, ants, ants everywhere ... Well, they are said to never cross a chalk line. So get your chalk out and draw a line on the floor or wherever ants tend to march - see for yourself.. * Use air-freshener to clean mirrors: It does a good job and better still, leaves a lovely smell to the shine.. * When you get a splinter, reach for the scotch tape before resorting to tweezers or a needle. Simply put the scotch tape over the splinter, then pull it off. Scotch tape removes most splinters painlessly and easily. * NOW Look what you can do with Alka-Seltzer: Clean a toilet - drop in two Alka-Seltzer tablets, wait twenty minutes, brush, and flush. The citric acid and effervescent action clean vitreous china.. Clean a vase - to remove a stain from the bottom of a glass vase or cruet, fill with water and drop in two Alka-Seltzer tablets.. Polish jewelry - drop two Alka-Seltzer tablets into a glass of water and immerse the jewelry for two minutes. Clean a thermos bottle - fill the bottle with water, drop in four Alka-Seltzer tablets, and let soak for an hour (or longer, if necessary). Unclog a drain - clear the sink drain by dropping three Alka-Seltzer tablets down the drain followed by a cup of Heinz White Vinegar. Wait a few minutes, then run the hot water.. * If your VCR has a year setting on it, which most do, you will not be able to use the programmed recording feature after 12/31/99. Don't throw it away. Instead, set it for the year 1972 as the days are the same as the year 2000. The manufacturers won't tell you. They want you to buy a new Y2K VCR.. * A friend was helpful enough to send this to you, so now it's your turn to pass it along to your friends, too.

I have some actual experience with a few of these:
My sister's Blog about life with an autistic child: Life on the Spectrum |
I dunno about most of these, but this one:
My collegue's explanation was that chalk has a very jagged surface and it hurts ants to walk on it. I don't know how much credence to give this explanation, but it did seem to work for about 48 hours before the ants got out. I think you might want to try something thicker than just a little chalk line, but the principle's the same.
"Young woman, in this house we obey the LAWS OF PHYSICS." -Homer Simpson |
I got that e-mail, too. I have either tried, or already knew of, the following things that do work:
Salt in boiling water will keep eggshells from cracking (unless they slam into the bottom of the pot first) Rolling any fruit at room temperature before juicing will yield more juice My mother used to boil soapy water in burnt pans. I'm too lazy, and just let it sit in the sink overnight. I was heavy handed with the salt making tomato sauce once, and the potato trick seemed to help (either that, or my taste buds were shot from constant sampling) I always add sugar to corn when cooking it. Start with the corn in cold water, bring to boil for 5 mins, and serve. Longer than that - sugar or no sugar - and you'll have some tough corn on the cob Bad eggs do indeed float - it's a build-up of some type of gas, I think. I have had "fresh" (according to the date) eggs float. There was one of those 20/20 type news shows that told of how many eggs are just re-packed with new dates stamped on the carton. Always check your eggs. My wife is always yammering at me for using her rubber gloves to open jars with. "Fine, honey. You open the jar!" Everything on your list below the rubber gloves I would tend to question. Chalk? Scotch tape? Air freshener? And the one use for Alka-Seltzer they left out was to drop it in the mouth of someone passed-out drunk at a party. (no, that's too cruel...well, depends on the person) |
I should also mention that the chalk we used wasn't regular blackboard chalk. It looked similar, but it may also have been mixed with something, it was too think and chunky to be blackboard chalk. I don't know where he got it.
Wow, it's nice to know some e-mail are trustworthy
I have serious doubts about the lime curing a headache; didn't someone write into Ann Landers once and say a banana peal on the forehead would cure a headache? I wonder if that works, or if someone just wanted to see if she'd really do it.

Ooh! Ooh! One of my areas of expertise--ice cream! I scooped ice cream for 6 years... the place I worked made their own waffle cones and we used the itty bitty marshmallows in the bottom for just that reason!
Just thought I'd share that. |
Nooo, nooo! (thin, hysterical screaming) Martha's on the Web! Martha's on the Web!)-->flash to end scene of Invasion of the Body Snatchers<--
For the egg/cooking stuff, check out Cook's Illustrated, the food science gurus. Frankly, if you have to worry about an egg floating, pitch it. Ever spent a mad, giddy few days barfing your guts out from food poisoning? Was it worth a stupid egg? (FWIW, I write purchase date of eggs on pencil as soon as I get them home. Somehow, I don't measure my life by when I bought eggs, and can't remember science experiments at the best of times. Pencil the date on the shells; pitch if doubtful. Vinegar in barely simmering water will tidily coagulate poached eggs, though. But overall, (faking forgetting most of The List), vinegar rocks. Buy the gallon size of white distilled. It'll make your windows glisten, buffed w/ old newspapers; make drains of all sorts smell better and possibly replace Viagra. On the other hand, poison kills ants. Fergit the handy, dandy folk remedies. Got ants? Forget chalk, lye dosed with pantry goods...kill the nest. And don't worry, the species will relocate happily and laugh (twitching their little antennea) anyway. ::Veb succumbs to wall-eyed, paranoid raving:: |
More Helpful Hints
Some more helpful hints:
[*]A line of liquid dish soap will stop ants [*]For sunnyside up eggs without runny whites throw in a dash of water and cover tightly for the last minute [*]Always wash your rice before cooking [*]Cook your rice for 12 minutes and let is rest for the last 5-10 minutes [*]Wash and dry grated potatoes for hash browns [*]Salt your hash browns while they fry, not after [*]A splash of oil in the water pot stops pasta from sticking together [*]A dash of sugar in you oil and vinegar dressing rounds out the flavor, the same goes for spaghetti sauce [*]One clove of garlic in your whole batch of potato salad makes it taste better [*]Always let a cut of meat or bird rest for 5-10 minutes before carving [*] Protect your knives from contact with other metal objects to keep them sharp [*]Never leave any sort of knife in the sink [*]If a pan catches fire place a cover on it to extinguish it quickly [*]To clean up a large oil spill pour on salt to solidify it [*]For perfect hard boiled eggs, boil for 8 minutes and let rest in the hot water for another 5 minutes. [*]Rinse hard boiled eggs in very cold water to loosen their shells for peeling [*]Use a dash of white pepper, garlic powder and onion powder in your mashed potatoes for extra flavor [*]To save money, always buy powdered onion or garlic instead of galic or onion salt.

I love this article. I am a big fan of ceiling fans. Seems, as this article will tell you, that a lot of designers don't recommend them anymore. I was kind of stuck on what to do. My ceiling fans are way out dated and I never realized the choices that you can choose from to update them. I'm so excited to start updating my shaky old ceiling fans. Beautiful.
