Unless you live in a museum, here’s the thing about your carpets: they’re going to get stained. There is simply no way to avoid the occasional spill and if you’ve got a dog or cat, forget about it! When a stain or spill happens, don’t panic. It’s important that you treat it as quickly as possible but treat it the right way. The first phase could be with rubbing alcohol on a white cloth used to dab at the spot to lift up as much as possible. Then to get in deep, mix 1/4 cup of water with 3/4 household vinegar. Spray the stain and let it sit for a few moments then use the same mixture to dab up the cloth.
A train derailment is not anyone’s idea of a good time. Recently, a Paducah & Louisville Railway train containing gallons of hazardous chemicals jumped the rails in the early morning hours just outside the Dixie Highway. While Emergency Management Agency teams were responding to the accident, a fire broke out further delaying the cleanup effort. Several workers were injured and taken to local hospitals. The fire was put under control and the work continued to get those train cars back on the rails.
It’s summer in Nashville and that means lots of visitors will be streaming through as part of their vacation.

Recycling in Nashville takes on many forms. There is the homeowners program that includes weekly pick up of recyclable materials but the concept of recycling extends far beyond the home. Many businesses are also proud to institute their own recycling programs with an emphasis on sustainability.
It’s not hard to think of scrap metal as the original “recycled” material. In fact, they were recycling metal way before anyone was even using the word “recycle.” During WWII the entire country joined together to support what was called “the war effort.” While it might be hard to understand today, back then the government actually instituted a rationing program. You had to get coupons from the government to buy coffee, sugar, gas, meat, cheese, butter and pretty much anything made of metal. The reason was that the bulk of all our nation’s resources were going to the war effort to support the troops. To get these coupons, you had to go before your local rationing board, in person and tell them how many people were in your family. There was even a ban on auto racing and sightseeing. It was all about conserving precious fuel.
In Nashville, state lawmakers recently sent a bill that authorizes the removal of the Occupy Nashville camp to Governor Bill Haslam for his signature. This would outlaw all unauthorized camping on public grounds. The key word there is “unauthorized.” No one wants to outlaw protests; it just makes practical sense that there be permits utilized by protesters that might infringe on common areas used by the general public.
Have you ever thought about the lifecycle of a tire? Like every other type of product that is made, a tire starts out on a designer’s sketchpad. Each year improvements are made in the design of tires to help them last longer and become more resistant to puncture or leakage. Those design specs are then handed over to the tire manufacturer who implements the changes and begins creating boatloads of new tires. Those tires are then shipped out retailers and auto repair shops where they are sold car owners. The tires are either sold as a single replacement, in pairs for the front or rear or in sets of four. After those tires have served its purpose they are removed and disposed of. Thus completes the circle of life for a tire.
While it has been said that “no man is an island” you could make the argument that if you work in an office your desk is indeed your own kind of island. This is where you’ll launch all of your work from and it’s also the first place that shows exactly what kind of organizational skills you might possess. If your desk is in a constant state of mess wouldn’t that call into question your own work skills? Any reorganizing task for your office space should begin with your desk.
