2007-06-19 WHAT BUGS ME

Automatic hand dryers in restrooms. What bright spot decides to use these infernal, useless devices There is always a message about them being "more sanitary" or "environmentally friendly" where they are used. Absolute nonsense and just lousy customer service. They never dry your hands unless you let them run for five to eight minutes (they therefore run longer, using more electricity). And if you actually want to wipe something off your hands or shirt, blot a spot or wipe anything, you cant do it. You are left with a mess. And suppose you want to rinse your face How then does one dry his or her face People (children particularly) do spill things --soda, food, ice cream -- and need to wipe it off. What is one to do Use an undershirt Hand dryers are just a shortsighted, inconsiderate approach to what people really need. And I

When we started the What Bugs Me column we thought it would have a nice run and then die a natural death. Never could we have imagined all the annoyances out there. Here are a few more.

2007-06-10 Adding and lsquo;spice and rsquo; to an already profitable journey

A similar loss of opportunity takes place in the case of nutmeg, which triples in weight when allowed to mature. This would have enabled the farmer to earn three times the money. To compound matters, the per-kilogram market price for immature nutmeg (say Rs 200) is also lower than the price for mature nutmeg (say Rs 280). Spice exporters like PODIE and Biofoods have been at the forefront of the awareness-building exercise. They advise the farmer not to sell immature produce but to wait and get the higher prices that these exporters are willing to pay (say Rs 360).

2007-07-03 Make your family more eco-conscious ScrippsNews

The world cant afford to wait until individuals find the perfect solution to our energy-hogging habits. The important thing is that you start to do something, anything, to make your imprint on the environment as small as possible. The perfect place to start is to find changes that you can easily integrate into your daily life. The more readily they fit into your existing routine, the more likely you are to stick to them over time. Some changes fit easier into the daily rhythm of family life (everyone can recycle, or use the dishwasher less), while some are better suited for those who have more time, resources and space (for those in big, busy cities, clotheslines may not be a realistic option to dryers). Dont worry if youre not perfectly green; just look for ways to be more green than you are today. "

Aside from the high-profile recall of China-made pet food that killed hundreds of dogs and cats this spring and the recall of bogus Colgate toothpaste made with toxic Chinese ingredients, federal regulators recently have yanked infant swings, jewelry, cribs, and floats for kayak paddles, all in the name of safety, and all made in China.

2007-05-21 The Rise of the Fad

Some Wal-Marts here do have food departments, actually. Its what youd expect - mostly name brand stuff, very low prices, often larger than normal containers. Last time I shopped there was a year ago, when I was restocking our disaster preparedness food kit, and it was certainly cost effective for canned and dried goods I needed.

Ten months previously, Id gone in with another chap buying catalogue (Argos, the UK equivalent of WalMart) returns by the 20 container load, worked out about 100 per pallet, and the palette was a lucky dip of everything from hair dryers to cordless drills.

Back when I was a lad, it used to be said that it took four years from setting up a small business to it becoming established and self supporting, and this was pretty much true no matter what the nature of the business. Some years ago, while searching for bare 18650 (18 mm dia by 65 mm long cylindrical) Li-On cells to repair a dead battery pack in an old Vaio, I stumbled across something. You

2007-06-14 State looks at rules for farm housing

Erica Peterson, executive vice president of the Agribusiness Council, a trade group that lobbies for farms, food processors, chemical companies and other businesses that profit from agriculture, said the bill will help state labor officials root out farms that fail to meet basic standards. But she said it wasnt necessary to burden farmers with expensive new requirements, such as eliminating outhouses or guaranteeing workers privacy in the bathroom.

The 2005 bill asked for telephone lines, stoves, washers and dryers in every home. It called for deadbolts and locking windows on every house and heaters that could keep a house above 65 degrees, no matter the outside temperature. It included a ban on outhouses and said that one toilet could be shared by no more than 10 workers.

2007-06-13 Get rid of old appliances, help hungry - Living - The Olympian - Olympia, Washington

With a food donation, Welchs is taking washers, dryers, refrigerators, ranges, hot water heaters and microwaves at no charge.

We heard that the Olympia Food Bank was short on food last August, so we started it just to make up for that. . Theres no timeline because theyre always in need. They come in to pick up once a week from us," she said.

Jiminez said the business does not have a minimum requirement for the donation, but asks people to bring at least a couple of cans of food to be donated to the Thurston County Food Bank.
