When dry, you should be able to pick up the can with the string handle. Spray paint the inside of the cans, allow to dry. Spray the outside of the cans, allow to dry. Or, spread glue on the outside of the can and attach construction paper or cloth. Braid 3 colors of pipe cleaners together, and glue them around the edge of the can. You can then place stickers or stamp prints on the outside of the can. You can also paint each child’s name on the can exterior. Now you can put shredded paper and foil into the can, and drop in suckers, balloons, etc.

You can also have the cans prepared with the string and paint, then allow the kids to decorate their own cans. The same basic craft can also be done with a 1 or 2 liter soda bottle, after cutting it in half.

Other ideas for these cans are pencil holder, new baby gift, kitchen utensil holder and night stand jar. Other decorative exteriors: glitter, scrunched up foil, wrapping paper or photos.

Then in 1920, Forest Mars and his son went to a local drugstore and Forest had an idea. Why not manufacture a candy bar using malted milk and a version of chocolate? This idea became the MILKY WAY bar.

In 1920, after visiting a local drugstore with his son Forrest, he thought what a good idea it would be if they could produce a version of chocolate, malted milk that could be enjoyed anywhere. The result was the MILKY WAY bar – known in Europe as the MARS bar. It was an immediate success.

In the 1930’s while working in Europe, Forest came up with another winning idea which was to prevent chocolate from melting by giving it a protective coating. The idea became M&M’s candies. Their famous slogan “It melts in your mouth not on your hands” solved a problem for the US forces of candy they provided in their rations melting before it got to the mouths of soldiers. Purchase of his M&M candies by the US government to be part of the rations of the forces during the war ensured the success of this new non melting candy.

In the same depression years of the ‘30s, Mars was the pioneer in the pet food industry in Europe. He employed nutritional science and modern manufacturing techniques to pet food. Fast forwarding to the present another innovation has been developed by Mars which was to put meat petfood in pouches. This product is sold under the brands of Pedigree and Whiskas

Modern manufacturing techniques were also employed for the first time to parboil rice in large quantities. In 1946 the new rice product Uncle Ben’s was launched and it became America’s top selling brand of packaged long grain rice.

Mars has a direct presence in over 60 countries over 100 countries have the Mars products available for sale.

Pittsburgh has exhibited amazing adaptability in the wake of the steel industry’s collapse. The primary industries have shifted from steel manufacture and heavy industry to high technology, biomedics, banking, and service based fields

Pittsburgh is located at the center of a fairly expansive set of river valleys, and much of the city’s residential population is situated on or near the slopes of those valleys with certain neighborhoods (particularly south of the Monongahela) are inaccessible by car during the winter. As a result, Pittsburgh is widely believed to be right behind San Francisco as the “steepest” city in the United States

Wealthy area businessmen of the 19th century, including Andrew Carnegie, the Heinz family and Henry Clay Frick, donated large sums of money to local educational and cultural institutions. As a result, Pittsburgh is rich in art and culture. The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra is world-class. It owns and performs at Heinz Hall, which also plays host to a number of other events throughout the year. The Benedum Center and Heinz Hall provide venues for numerous musicals, lectures, speeches, and other performances.

The collection of the Carnegie Museum of Art is home to works by such luminaries as Edgar Degas, Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, and many others, along with galleries of sculpture, modern art, the Heinz Architectural Center, a large film and video collection, and various traveling exhibits.

Pittsburgh is home to many universities and research facilities. The Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh has over 2.1 million cataloged items available for circulation. The Health Sciences Department ([http://www.health.pitt.edu/]) at the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center ([http://www.upmc.com/]) operate some of the finest hospitals in the world, and an advanced medical research center that performs pioneering work in organ transplantation, AIDS and cancer research, and many other fields.

It is being used for a varity of ailments including but not limited to: treating throat irrations,itchy and watery eyes, in the teatment and prevention of motion sickness, and as a gentle sleep aid. Available in a cream ointment it can also relieve sunburn, poison oak & ivy, stings and insect bites, as well as other minor skin irrations. Diphenhydramine hydrochloride is also included in many of the over the counter sleep aids.

Diphenhydramine hydrochloride generally available in 25mg. caplets and capsules; and available in the generic forms as well. There are minor side effects, not felt by everyone and you should exercise caution when trying any ‘new to you’ over the counter medications.

Titanium is extremely strong and extremely light. For example, if you had a small solid cube of low carbon steel roughly two inches on each side, it would weigh a bit over two pounds. Steel is also a very strong material, with a yield-strength in the range of fifty-four thousand pounds per square inch. A cube of aluminum the same size would weigh only about three-quarters of a pound, but would not be quite as strong, with a yield-strength near forty thousand pounds per square inch, which is admittedly still a pretty impressive number. The same size block of titanium would weigh just over a pound, coming in between the two others in terms of weight, but amazingly, its yield strength would be in the range of one hundred and forty thousand pounds per square inch! Pound for pound, titanium is an extremely strong material.

Titanium has grown in “public awareness” rapidly in the last few decades, as business and technology have started to design and manufacture using titanium. As one would expect, titanium’s use was originally limited to places like NASA; because of its strength, it is also difficult to process by cutting, shaping, or stretching. However, as these research facilities developed new ways to manipulate the metal, large corporations saw the advantages of this material and started the long process of integrating it as a cost-effective resource. Industries like aerospace transferred knowledge of titanium to other industries driven by a desire to keep weight low and strength high, such as racing bicycles, automotive and motorcycle track competition, sailing, and others. As more industries have started to use the metal, the cost has slowly fallen, and now titanium is even used for things like flatware and laptop computer cases, and it won’t be long before titanium is as common as the iron, aluminum, steel, brass, and copper that we see everywhere we turn today.

Because exchanging vows in front of families and friends involves other people, it will be a constant battle to keep focused on the fact that it’s your day. It’s a celebration of your commitment to a life-long relationship together, not a family reunion or a weekend getaway with friends. Avoid the trap of “well, if we invite so-and-so, we HAVE to invite such-and-such”… at the end of the day, it’s about the two of you, and the invite list should be comprised of the people that you want to share the day with, and no one else. It’s an impossible-to-achieve ideal, because second cousin Jeremiah and his ex-wife will show up uninvited anyway… but strive for it.

Additionally, because it’s your day, the two of you are the ones who get to decide whether you want an ice sculpture or a live blues band, a canine ring-bearer or Elvis-impersonators as waiters. Use your imagination and plan the day the way you will always want to remember it, and the way that will bring the most smiles to your faces.

Finally, since the financial outlay involved is often considerable, there needs to be a budget. Talk about what you can afford to spend. If your wedding plan doesn’t jive with your wallet, talk to parents about whether they willing and able to contribute. Whatever you do, choose a target, flush out the details, and do your best to stick to the plan. Flowers may end up costing twice as much as you thought, the cake may only cost half of what you expected: regardless, building and maintaining a basic budget will keep you from massive unexpected debt the day after your wedding, which can put a noticeable damper on the honeymoon.

Some final words of advice: take it slow and steady. Talk to other recently married couples about their weddings, and if they are willing to share the information, inquire about their budgets. Realize that the wedding, reception and honeymoon can cost as little as a $50 marriage license and a bottle of champagne, and as much as a small townhouse; but money spent doesn’t directly translate into increased happiness. Good planning and good communication, on the other hand, generally do.

In 1954, they obtained a license to make transistors. Transistors had not been used in radios. Sony made the first all-transistor radio,

Their inventive and innovative products have included the Trinitron Color Televison, The Betamax VCR, the Walkman, the 3.5 inch micro floppy disk, the electronic camera, the first CD Player, and the first consumer camcorder.

Sony bought Columbia Records and Columbia Pictures. Sony got in the game product area with their Sony Play Station.

In the 45 years since the company began, it has grown from 20 employees to over 100,000 people around the world. The name Sony was a good choice since now the company is in so many fields that involve sound that a limiting name would not have fit all of the industries they now dominate.

This same concept can be used to make lovely kitchen candles. Use a cereal bowl or dipping sauce bowl (depending upon how large your candle is) and turn it upside-down to make the stand. Glue ceramic berries or other assorted fruits around the base of the candle. A variation of this is to turn a coffee cup upside-down and glue lace around, leaving a slit at the handle. Place round pillar candle on the cup, with the lace hanging down. Use the handle to carry the candle around.

If you have an old flat mirror, use it to lay on a bathroom counter or a tub shelf to place several candles, strings of beads, rings, etc. You can also place a couple of flowers or seashells on the mirror, depending upon the look you want.

Total preparation time: 45 minutes

1 potato
18 oz. peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
2 lb. confectioner’s sugar

Boil 1 medium sized potato in a small saucepan until it is tender when poked with a fork. Remove from water and peel potato. Smash potato in medium sized bowl with a fork. Let the steam subside somewhat, then begin to add confectioner’s sugar until a dough forms. (If you add the sugar while the potato is too hot, it will turn soupy. If you add the sugar when potato has cooled too much, it won’t mix properly.) Add sugar when potato is not scalding, but still extremely warm.
After the dough becomes too stiff to stir, sprinkle confectioner’s sugar on a clean table and lay the dough in the middle of the sugar. Sprinkle more sugar on top of the dough ball, kneading the sugar into the dough.
When the dough is no longer sticky, use a rolling pin to spread the dough to about 1/4″ thick. Spread with peanut butter until completely covered.
Roll up like a jelly roll, then use a clean thread to cut into 1/2″ wide slices. *Do not chill. Cover with aluminum foil and leave out. Makes approximately 20 large candy pieces.

Substitutions: try strawberry or chocolate frosting instead of peanut butter, but you’ll have to refrigerate this version.

*If you must refrigerate, allow candy to sit out, covered in foil, until firm enough to handle easily. Wrap each piece individually in cling wrap before chilling.

Place 4 pecan halves in an “X” shape on a plate with waxed paper. Then place a caramel square on top of each “X”. Place in microwave on medium low until caramel is about half melted. Remove from heat and use a spoon to press the caramel down into the nuts. After completely cool, spready with chocolate frosting. Store in refrigerator or leave out, but covered.

Chocolate Covered Nuts:

Place a medium saucepan of water on burner and heat to boiling, then reduce to medium heat. Place a bag of semi-sweet chocolate pieces in another, smaller saucepan and place on top of the water. Allow chocolate to melt, stirring frequently. When completely melted, begin adding peanuts or mixed nuts to the chocolate, stirring well. When mixture is full of nuts and getting thick, remove from heat and place tablespoons full of the mixture on waxed paper. Allow to cool, then store in refrigerator.

Haystacks:

Place a medium saucepan of water on burner and heat to boiling, then reduce heat to medium. In a smaller pan, place one bag of butterscotch morsels then place upon the pan of water. Allow morsels to melt completely. After melting, add dry chow mein noodles, stirring well. When mixture becomes thick with the noodles, remove from heat and drop large spoons full of the mixture on to waxed paper. Store in refrigerator.
