Apple Cider Vinegar

I saw a post about How to get rid of Fruit Flies in Google Reader. Then I did a little search on Apple Cider Vinegar. The search reminds of all the remedies that I have been told about. That we as an American society don't use anymore.  We have gotten so far away from simple things that we could do are selves. We would pay someone else to mix simple items together. Like killing Fruit Flies. All it takes is a bowl of ACV plus a couple drops of dish soap. The ACV attracts the flies and dish soap breaks the surface tension of the water. Which allows the flies to sink and drowned. Started to explain surface tension , but this link works great. Now with that knowledge. You can see that any sweet liquid would work. All you need to do is add the drops of dish soap. People have also used Red Wine Vinegar, Beer, or try anything sweet. You could use water to add to depth. Just give different stuff a try. Like coating the side of the bowl with oil. It might keep crawling bugs IN and drowned

Flat-screen prices to tumble ahead of holiday season - Sep. 23, 2010

Flat-screen prices to tumble ahead of holiday season - Sep. 23, 2010 The report from David Goldmon with CNNMoney. Shows that you should hold off on buy a flat panel TV. The supply chain is overloaded with LCD TV's right now. In 2005 a 32-inch LCD would have cost around $1600 but today the TV would cost you $400. The analyst are saying that same TV on black Friday could by under $300. WOW, that is average of over $300 a year. Image after buying a car in 2005 for $16,000 then trying to sell it today. Knowing that a person can buy a brand new car for $3,000. What do you think you could sell or trade your car for? No where does it mention that this newer TV's have better equipment. Hopefully I will post more information on this subject next week. Okay, now how much do you think you sell/trade that car for. Just think your 5 year old car that you payed $16,000. A person can buy a new and much better model for $3,000. You would be lucky to get $500 return, out of that $16,000.

Nieslen is coming to the Internet.

I'm talking the Nielsen Media Research rating company. Which was founded by Arthur Nielsen in 1950. Those of use that are older. Remember hear about these company. It is heard of as much as it used to be. The Nielson company started out using 'diaries'. Yes, kids people actually recorded there TV habits in book for a company. Which was not very reliable for the company. People would forget what they watched at what time. As the years drawn on. Newer technicality they brought out set top boxes. Which was hook up to the telephone. It report back every time you turn on and off the time. Including what you watched the whole time. Yes, people let the big company's in to watch their every move. In 2005 they added the ability to track your digital video recordings. Like TiVo devices. There has been a few competitors showing up in last few years. Like comScore and Quantcast Now Nielsen is problems with waves of people are moving to the internet more and more. The company
