Whether you have a little one who loves to play Picasso all over your walls in crayon, or you’re just watching a younger sibling or friend of family and they’ve all but wrecked the paint with a stick of Burnt Sienna, the fix may be as close as your fridge. Grab the mayo, we’re going to work.
The oils in the mayo do wonders to break down the wax in crayon. Just dab a little over the crayon lines, wait a few minutes, and then come back with a damp cloth. It may take a little pressure, but the mayo and the crayon should both come off in one fell swoop. that’s all there is to it.
If you still have trouble with that stuck on crayon, we’ve shown you how to remove it with bread, and even white vinegar, so take your pick for what works best for you. Have any other creative crayon removal tips? Share them in the comments below.

technical pro is the first choice in quality parts for the audio engineer or sound designer that is building their own speakers. The engineers at technical pro know that in order to build a solid product you have to include today’s modem innovations and skilled craftsmanship for every component. There are no weak links in their chain!
The BTB43F 4” Titanium Bullet tweeter from technical pro is aligned with the concept of building a quality product with a long lasting design. The frame of the tweeter is made out of a superior die cast aluminum frame. Built in is a 45 oz. magnet and a 2” high temperature Kapton voice coil. Kapton is key here because it is a non-conductive material and is therefore not influenced by the eddy-current effect like aluminum, when situated in a magnetic gap. The bottom line is there is no mechanical resistance so you will hear a more pronounced break up when the sound rolls off. The sound will end as it is supposed to, naturally and you will hear the difference! The voice coil is Ferro Fluid enhanced voice coil. Ferro Fluid is a magnetic material which enables audio speakers to function more efficiently, with improved audio response and better power handling.
If you are setting up sound for your car, building speakers or building walls of sound in your studio or home, the BTB43F is the first choice in a professional tweeter. At a price that cannot be beat, this is the go-to tweeter for serious audio professionals!
Technical Pro’s groundbreaking new approach to industrial design incorporates advanced technology and striking good looks with rugged construction and a long list of features, providing years of audio enjoyment.
If you’ve worked in a warehouse before (like I have), you will appreciate having at least a forklift to do the work for you but even better than that would be having these warehouse robots from Kiva Systems.
One thing missing though that I’d like added to this terrific warehouse robot system is ability to use it with higher racks to take advantage of high ceiling walls of a warehouse. Otherwise, you might actually lose space while implementing a more efficient warehouse system. – Unless they create a New Leveled Flooring system Parallel to the Racks.

<small>Published 4 days ago By Lou Carlozo, Green Dad columnist for dealnews
<=”" a=”" align=”right” border=”0″ height=”250″ hspace=”8″ vspace=”5″>My friend Fabulous Frank is always coming up with neat ideas and inventions; one of his best designs boasts a refrigerator with a glass door on it. And while that may mean some extra-tough cleanups, just think of the one glorious advantage it offers: “Every time you’d go to check the fridge,” he says, “you wouldn’t have to open the door to see what’s inside.” Which of course means less energy wasted.
Until Fab Frank’s fridge becomes a regular consumer option, we have our work cut out for us. Even if you have an EnergyStar refrigerator, you know these big appliances still eat electricity — about 500 kilowatt-hours per year even for the stingier models. The question is: Can we improve on that? You betcha. Below are some tips for making fridges (both standard and EnergyStar models) run more efficiently. And we’ll start with a tip that comes courtesy of Frank himself.
1) Open The Door Less
Particularly if you have kids, you know fridge doors get opened dozens and dozens of times a day. Whenever that happens, warm air rushes in, making it harder for your appliance to keep cool. Leave the doors open longer than two minutes, and you’re putting strain on the fridge. So until they invent glass doors, do what you can to limit how often and how long your doors get yanked open. With shopping trips, I lump all the refrigerated items into one big pile and then load up as fast as possible. Try determining how much time you need to shave off your loading time with this Presto Electronic Clock & Timer ($10.68 with free shipping via Prime).
2) Pack It Up, Baby
After each shopping trip, I love to stuff the fridge — and there’s a reason besides the fact that many Italian Americans like myself do this. A full fridge means that there’s less hot air that needs cooling. Of course, a stuffed fridge means poor air circulation, and any well-stocked cooler begs to be opened many times. But so long as you police your clan from peeking out of boredom (or swinging on the handles) you should come out ahead on the energy-savings side.
3) A Freezer on Top is Tops
For those of you considering a new fridge, keep in mind that not all EnergyStar models are created equal. The government’s EnergyStar website reports, “Models with top-mounted freezers use 10% to 25% less energy than bottom-mount or side-by-side models.” Besides, a bottom-mounted freezer means stooping over to get the Haagen-Dazs, which isn’t exactly my idea of how to launch an indulgent dessert experience. The GE Top Freezer Refrigerator in White or Black ($448 via “APP50B2″ with free shipping) is an inexpensive option that fits the bill.
4) Chill Out on the ice-Cube Maker
Maybe we could stand to learn something from the Europeans, who don’t take ice in their drinks. Icemakers and through-the-door dispensers not only increase a refrigerator’s price by up to $250, they also increase energy use by 14% to 20%, EnergyStar figures show. So if you have an icemaker, why not give it a rest? And if you really need crushed ice, consider the merits of these Tovolo Perfect-Cube Ice Trays (two for $14.99 with $3.99 s&h) and a hammer.
5) Location, Location, Location
This one comes courtesy of our friends at allyou.com, who point out that a fridge shouldn’t rest close to obvious hotspots. “Place your fridge away from your oven, stove top, radiator, or other heat sources, and make sure there are a few inches of space around it. The unit can nestle, but it shouldn’t abut walls, counters, or other appliances.” I suppose that means no cold storage for my Twinkie flambé, either.
6) Check the Seals and the Frost
Just as leaky window and door seals yield a drafty house, a fridge with bad seals around the doors can’t do its job well. If your seals have suffered from wear or damage, check out RepairClinic, which stocks just about every type of replacement part for large appliances. As for the frost side, it’s a good idea to periodically defrost your freezer, as that will help it work better. If you see more than a quarter-inch of frost all the way around, it’s time.
7) clean Those Coils
Dust is the enemy of many large appliances, from air conditioners to stereo systems. In the latter, dust blocking the vents can cause overheating, and dust on the coils of your fridge forces it to work harder. Getting in back of that monster may conjure visions of an emergency room visit, but tidying up isn’t hard if you consult a reliable resource, like your appliance manual. A vacuum with a crevice attachment is crucial, as is a small brush (like a paint brush) to reach more troublesome areas. Your efforts will not only keep the fridge working better, but also preserve its longevity.
Pick the Right temperature
Going colder than the preferred temperature wastes electricity, and for refrigerators, that ranges between 35 and 38 degrees, according to howstuffworks.com. There are other benefits as well to sticking in this range: “Anything higher and foods will spoil too quickly (it also presents food poisoning problems). Anything lower and freezing becomes a problem.”
Common to all these tips is one overarching principle: habit. Once you get in the habit of checking on the appliances you take for granted, they’ll reward you in kind with extended years of service and extra savings in the bank — all while making a dent in your carbon footprint.
Stay as safe as possible during an earthquake. Be aware that some earthquakes are actually foreshocks and a larger earthquake might occur. Minimize your movements to a few steps to a nearby safe place and if you are indoors, stay there until the shaking has stopped and you are sure exiting is safe.

He said that advertising revenues had improved, with the group seeing year-on-year increases of more than 20pc. The automotive and financial services industries had started to pick up, he said.
Forbes Europe will be based in London or Paris and it will probably launch in 2011. Mr Forbes said he had spoken to European advertisers and there had been a lot of interest in Forbes Europe.
“Even though everyone is focused on Ireland, Greece, Portugal and Spain, there is a recovery coming. And this is precisely the right time to move in. We want it [Forbes Europe] to be entrepreneurial. This is the right time for a European magazine,” he said.
The company currently publishes Forbes and Forbes Asia, which together reach a worldwide audience of more than 6m readers. There are also licensee editions in many countries from China to Croatia.
While the licensee editions are local language versions of Forbes, Forbes Europe’s content, like Forbes Asia, would be in English with original, local content.
In August 2006, Elevation Partners became a minority shareholder in a newly formed company, Forbes Media, the publisher of Forbes magazine, Forbes.com and other media properties.
Mr Forbes also offered his advice to the UK Government. “Don’t believe because you’re cutting spending you must raise taxes. do what is right to get the economy moving and then people will forgive you for how you got there.
“What you have to do is combine tough measures with measures that will be conducive to encouraging growth,” he said.
“And if [George] Osborne and the Bank of England strengthen the pound, exporters will howl, but if people believe in the pound again then that would be good for the euro.”
He added that Britain should adopt a tax code similar to some Asian territories.
“Give Britain a tax code similar to Singapore’s or Hong Kong. You’d have very low rates and generous exemptions. You’d make Britain a haven of capital.
“You afford to do that because you are growing. Asset values go up if people see a future.”
He said he had sent David Cameron a copy of his book on the benefits of flat tax.
Mr Forbes said the group will not introduce paywalls on Forbes magazine’s websites.
Earlier this year, Mr Forbes relinquished his chief executive role at Forbes Media. Gentleman’s Quarterly publisher Mike Perlis was brought in as chief executive.
