Simple Care Instructions for your Granite Countertops
Granite is one of the easiest surfaces to maintain. By following these suggestions for use, your countertops will last a lifetime while maintaining a brand new appearance.
Daily Care and Use-
1. Clean your countertop daily with a soft cloth and a neutral, non-abrasive cleanser for best results. Mild dish soap and water work best.
2. Using household cleaners such as, Windex, Lysol Disinfectant and 409, can be used but may leave a film. Using these products on occasion, is fine. Keep in mind, the harsher the product, the quicker it will break down your sealer. Your safest bet? Warm water and a sponge!
3. A solution of vinegar and water works great to remove streaking, smudges, and body oil.
4. Avoid products that contain lemon, vinegar, or other acids on marble, limestone, or Black Absolute granite. They are susceptible to acid etching.
5. An occasional application of furniture polish can keep fingerprints off dark colored granite and will give the countertops a nice feel.
6. High and low temperatures will not harm your granite in any way. You can take a pan off the stove or a dish out of the oven and set it right on your countertop without damage.
7. If you have a seam in your countertop, it is best to avoid setting hot materials on this area. The epoxy in the seam can melt if exposed to heat for an extended period.
8. Cutting foods directly on your countertops will not harm your granite but is not recommended. Your knives will dull very quickly.
Sealant-
1. Your granite work surfaces were most likely sealed after installation by your installer. This helps prevent the absorption of any compound that can stain your tops but is not foolproof.
2. Resealing depends greatly on the type of stone you have and how much use your work surface gets. Sealant may need to be reapplied anywhere from 1 - 4 years, or never.
3. To test if the sealer is working, place a few drops of water on your work surface. If the water soaks in quickly, then it is time to reseal. If it beads up, it is protected.
4. You can purchase sealer at a home improvement store or higher a professional to do it for you. It may not be necessary to reseal your entire countertop. Concentrate only on your trouble areas when needed.
Stains, Lime Build Up, Stuck on food -
1. No sealer is perfect. The best way to avoid a stain is to wipe up any spills immediately.
2. While stains are rare, they are caused most frequently by cooking.
3. Do not store bottles of cooking oil directly on your granite. Do not store rusty pots, pans, or cans on your countertops as the rust can stain the granite.
4. Use coasters under all glasses, particularly those containing alcohol or citrus juices.
5. If your granite darkens when it is wet, do not be alarmed. It will return to its original color when the water evaporates. This is an indication that resealing is necessary.
6. If lime builds up occurs around your faucet, do not use Lime products. Gently scraping the lime off with a straight razor is the best solution.
7. Use the flat side of a straight razor blade for removing stuck on tape, residue, dried paint, glue, dried food, etc.
8. If a stain occurs, follow these steps for removal: Mix a paste made of diatemacious earth (pool filter powder found at any pool supply or Big Box store) and ten percent Hydrogen Peroxide (found at beauty salons and is stronger than that sold at a drug store). Form the mixture into a pancake and cover the stain completely. Use clear plastic wrap to cover the pancake and tape around the edges. Leave overnight. The mixture will act like a poultice to pull the stain from your granite countertop. If only some of the stain has been removed, repeat as necessary. For more stubborn stains, follow the same steps above using diatemacious earth and acetone (nail polish remover).
Scratches, Chips, Repairs-
1. Rated a 7 on the Mohs Scale of Mineral Hardness of 1-10, granite, made primarily of quartz and feldspar, is virtually un-scratchable.
2. It can be scratched by quartz or anything harder.
3. Removing diamond jewelry is recommended. Diamonds will scratch granite.
4. Certain stoneware dishes contain rough silica sand and pose a risk of scratching. This includes some pizza stones when spun around while cutting the pizza.
5. Use trivets or mats under dishes that could scratch the surface.
6. If you use a marble cutting board, make sure the rubber or plastic feet remain secure.
7. Chips in granite are not a common occurrence. When they do occur, they are most often caused by banging something into the edge of the countertop.
8. If a chip does occur and you can find the piece that chipped out, save it.
9. Granite is very restorable. Most of the time, chips can be epoxied back into place.
10. Small chips can be filled with household Super Glue by applying the glue and shaving off the dried product with a razor blade.

Easy Pie Crusts For Fantastic Holiday Desserts Like Pumpkin Pie With No Anxiety
It's that time of year again, when our thoughts turn to holiday decorating and cooking. There are many recipes for the holidays, but one food item above all others seems to symbolize the fall, holiday season and that is pie. There are recipes for no crust pie, but for many people a pie without a crust is like a day without sunshine.
While pastry shells and packaged crust mixes are convenient, nothing beats a home made crust. On the other hand, for some people, making pie crust is an anxiety producing thought right up there with parallel parking and left hand turns. Never fear, there are a few basic suggestions and steps that will have you making your own great pie crust in no time.
There are four basic ingredients in any pie crust. They are, flour, that adds the bulk to the crust, shortening (fat), that makes the crust flaky and adds flavor, liquid that binds the dough and makes it workable, and salt for seasoning and to make it brown. That's it, just four simple ingredients. You can make some substitutions, in the interest of personal taste or health, as you'll see below.
The tricky thing about pie crust is that it is just so diabolically simple. Just a few ingredients and little preparation time make it seem so easy, but like many simple things, it still takes some attention to detail to get it right. Here are some instructions for two different pie crusts. The first one is really easy and doesn't even require rolling. It is ideal for a single crust pie, like pumpkin pie.
Easy One Crust Pie Dough
INGREDIENTS:
(makes two large pies)
4 cups all-purpose flour ( I prefer King Arthur unbleached flour and have been using it for years)
2 cups butter or shortening (you can also use butter flavored shortening, margarine, or lard*)
*Before we go any farther, let's talk about lard. I know it is not as popular or politically correct as it once was, but in my opinion it makes the best crust. On the other hand, you can still make a very good crust with any of the alternatives and perhaps you won't ruffle any feathers if you share your pie with other people who may have strong feelings about the source of lard or its health effects.
I also recommend chilling the shortening or whatever you use as a fat. Chilling the shortening and liquid is one of those suggestions I mentioned that make crust so much easier.
1 tablespoon white sugar (once again, you can substitute a more healthful sugar like raw cane sugar or organic sugar)
1 teaspoon salt (sea salt works well, too)
1/2 cup ice water
1 egg
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
DIRECTIONS
In a large bowl, mix flour, shortening, sugar and salt.
Add ice water, vinegar and egg. Beat to combine but don't overdo it.
There is no need to roll this dough out, it can easily be pushed into a pie plate and flattened to fit inside the pan and conform to the sides of the pan. That makes it ideal for a holiday favorite like one crust pumpkin pie.
Our second pie crust is a basic pie crust that can be rolled out to form flat pieces of dough that can then be placed in a pan and pushed into shape to make the bottom layer of a crust as well as being placed on top of the pie. If you use it as a top layer, be sure to vent with a few slits near the center of the pie.
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup shortening
1/2 cup water
Once gain, I prefer unbleached flour like King Arthur and please be sure to chill the fat and liquid. Another good idea is to chill your rolling pin. I put mine right in the freezer for half an hour. You may also use a glass wine or soda bottle and chill it or even fill it with ice water. If you use a glass bottle, DO NOT PUT IT IN THE FREEZER because it may burst if the water freezes. Just refrigerate it or fill with chilled water.
A chilled rolling pin or bottle is much less likely to stick to the crust. Sifting a light layer of flour onto the crust as you roll it out will also help to keep it from sticking.
DIRECTIONS
In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (You can cut it in with a knife or spatula. Some people like to work it with two butter knives.)
Stir in water until mixture forms a ball. (A little flour on your hands will help to keep the dough from sticking to them.) Divide dough in half, and shape into balls. Wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. If you don't have the time to wait for the dough to chill overnight, place it in the refrigerator as long as you can and use chilled utensils to roll it out.
Next, roll out your dough on a floured counter or cutting board. Don't over work it. Place a thin layer of flour on the dough and work it from the center rolling in all directions to form a flat round layer of dough like a large pancake. You can then shape it into the bottom of the pan and repeat the process on the second ball of dough for the top crust. Put a little flour on your hands and lift the dough gently and place on top of the pie. Be sure to make a few slits for vents. You may also pinch the dough together all along the edge to seal the top and bottom crust together. You may use a fork or knife to give it a nice finished look.
Some people place foil around the outside edge of the crusts to prevent burning of the edges.
That's it, two recipes for crust that take very little time to prepare and will have you creating homemade masterpieces in your kitchen. For more holiday dessert ideas including pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, pumpkin seeds and other recipes, go to Favorite Things.

Drywall Taping
The biggest mistake most people make when taping their own walls is trying to make it perfect the first coat. When you are applying the first coat, all you want to do is get the tape on the wall over the seams. Another part of the first coat is filling the screw holes.
The best way to apply the tape for the do it yourself person is to buy a taping banjo. This tool applies the mud to the tape as you pull the tape through it. The tool is about :00 dollars, well worth the money! To mix the mud, you should have a mud paddle that fits in a 1/2" drill, it will be in the taping tools section of the hardware store. Other tools you will need are a hock and trowel, 4" plastic mud knife, 6" plastic mud knife, a cross point screw driver in case there are any screws that are not all the way, and a file for keeping the tape cutter on the banjo sharp, and a small ladder or bench.
Use all purpose mud for the first two coats. When mixing mud for the banjo, you want it just a little thicker than pancake badder. Put the tape where it fits on the back, and feed it through the mud bin, pulling the tape to the top of the bin and put the mud in. When you pull the tape it will ride over the mud and apply it to the tape. Make sure you keep the bin full of mud so there isn't any blank places on tape with no mud, this will ensure there is no air bubbles. Using the 4" knife, or the 6", swipe over the top of the tape with the knife angled backwards and squeeze the extra mud out from under the tape, making sure there isn't any globs left on the wall. Let dry completely! While that is drying you can fill screw wholes and any dents in the drywall. You push the mud into the hole and then scrape off any excess to reduce sanding. You also need to get tape on corners, and and apply them. You will need tin snips to cut them with. You have a choice of square corners or round (bull nose). If you use bull nose corners, you will also want to pick up a starter corner for each, it is a plastic piece you put on the bottom that is square, so when you put your base board trim on, you have a square corner to work with. You will use the the role of tape for the inside corners. Pull the tape from the banjo, only as far as you can reach until you get better. Apply these short pieces end to end, down the inside corner until you are within a 1/2" from the floor. Carefully push the tape into the corner using the crease in the tape to guide you. Carefully squeeze out excess mud with the 4" knife.
When the first coat is completely dry you will see that the mud has shrunk into the screw holes and left a dent. You will need to repeat the process on the screw holes and dents until the mud doesn't shrink anymore. The mud on the second coat, over the tape, needs to be a little thicker then the tape coat so it doesn't run off the trowel before you get it to the wall. Load the hock, the hock is a flat square plate with a handle on the bottom. Using the trowel, smear a heavy coat of mud over all the tape, scraping off any excess. Don't try and be to picky yet, you still have one or two coats to go. Let this coat dry completely. It may take a full day or more and you may have to apply heat, and crack a couple of windows open to let out the moister.
Quickly go over the second coat and sand any bumps that may have been missed. On the seems, you go over the same place as you did before and scrape off the excess again. On the butt joints you run your trowel of mud down each side of the last coat to make the joint three trowels wide, this will make the hump disappear. Remove the excess. Don't worry about the little lines from the trowel yet! Let this coat dry. This coat should dry faster.
The fourth coat of mud is called the skim coat. You will use topping mud for this coat. Topping mud is used because it is made to sand easier. When applying this coat you will skim over any imperfections, like those lines that wouldn't go away, and any little air holes. Don't worry about the lines to much with this mud, they will sand easier. Sand lightly with the paper found at the hardware store in the taping tool section. You will find the sanding blocks there also.
You are ready for last step, the texture. Your wall should be smooth enough to paint now. If you are going to texture yourself, you will need a hopper for the mud, and an air compressor. The mud will be just thin enough to run down in the hopper as you spray, practice on a spare piece of drywall or box outside until you are happy with the setting. Increase the air and decrease the tip size will get you smaller texture pattern. Good luck with your project!

Colon Cleanse Weight Loss Programs - Do They Work?
Colon cleanse weight loss programs are becoming more and more popular. Many people are becoming aware of just how many toxins we are exposed to every day. There are so many things that have a negative effect on our health and quality of life. Many diseases are increasing and there are new diseases being named every day. It's time to take a good look at how we can limit our exposure and manage what we can in our lives that will make a positive effect. Just look at the American diet which consists of refined and processed foods that can be loaded with preservatives and chemicals. We eat fried foods and fast foods loaded with fat and sugar. Toxins are all around us. Our produce is grown with pesticides and chemicals. Our meats have hormones and antibiotics. Our water and air is polluted and the list goes on.
Our bodies were designed to detoxify and cleanse but everyone has a certain toxic threshold according to their unique situation. When we constantly eat food that is low in nutrients and fiber the food can go through the body without being digested and eliminated properly. When the food is not moved out of the body in a timely manner it allows food to sit in the gut way too long letting it rot and ferment. The longer this mess stays in the colon the more it can be reabsorbed back into the body through the blood. Personally I think it's a very good idea to use some kind colon cleanse weight loss program.
I will discuss some of the many approaches to do a colon cleanse weight loss plan.
There are some liquid only methods. The first is a simple method but not an easy one. This colon cleanse weight loss program uses water fasting for cleansing the body. That means water only, no food at all during the fast. Some people go on this fast for fourteen days or more. I have not been very successful with this method.
The pros -- it's very simple and inexpensive and you will definitely lose weight.
The cons - your metabolism plummets and you may have problems with low blood sugar especially if you have been eating a diet loaded with sugars. You may detox too fast which isn't pleasant and could turn into a medical problem. Most people probably couldn't handle a water fast or even want to try it. Also while water fasting the bowel stops moving. When you're water fasting, poisons and toxins get broken down eliminated into the blood stream then into the colon so you need to do an enema to flush out what you can. When coming off water fasting you need to slowly re--introduce solid food back into the diet. There are centers where you can go to for support for water fasting, they monitor your blood levels and guide you through the process. In my opinion doing nothing but water fasting for a colon cleanse weight loss program would be most the difficult program.
Another liquid approach is using a colon cleanse weight loss program called the Lemon Juice Diet or the Maple Syrup Diet. It is also referred to as the Master Cleanse. According to Wikipedia, Stanley Burroughs created the Master Cleanse recipe in 1941. The Master Cleanse recipe usually includes pure water, fresh squeezed lemon juice, and cayenne and grade-B maple syrup. The maple syrup must be real maple syrup and not the artificial pancake syrup. It also calls for sea salt (not regular iodized table salt). The salt is for a salt water flush for the colon. You may also use an herbal laxative to make sure you have bowel movement. The lemons are thought to alkalize the body, the cayenne helps with circulation and the maple syrup may be intended to supply the body with some minerals and help with blood sugar levels. You need to come off the diet carefully. Don't plan on eating a steak dinner as soon as you come off this diet. You will need to gradually re--introduce food back into your system, starting with light broths. The duration of this colon cleanse weight loss program is 10 to 30 days. Be sure to research this to make sure you know what you're doing.
A safer, better way from using a water fast for your colon cleanse weight loss plan is juice fasting. This plan requires a little planning on your part. You need to get fresh organic produce and juice it. Juicing does take some preparation time out of your schedule. There's planning your recipes, shopping, cleaning the produce, chopping, juicing and then cleaning the juicer machine. You may want to make a big batch of juice at all at once to save some time. Fresh juice is better but if you make a batch, put it in an airtight container for a day or so. Also if you get your ingredients ahead of time you won't be tempted by all the smells coming from the deli and bakery not to mention the easy to grab candy bars at the checkout stand. You can pick the produce you enjoy and mix and match them. You don't have to stick with fruits; you can add celery, carrots, cucumbers and whatever else you like. You can pick things that are nutrient dense like wheat grass. I have to say that a little bit of wheat grass goes a long way. You can put spices in your juice. This kind of colon cleanse weight loss program can be fun. My favorite juice is watermelon. Unlike the water fast, you supply your body with some nutrients and help with the blood sugar. You still need to move the bowels to rid the body of the toxins.
Another popular colon cleanse weight loss method uses herbal formulas. You can find all kinds of different formulas. The herbs and fiber help loosen up any old accumulated fecal debris and move it out of the body. Some herbal colon cleanse weight loss products require that you be on a special diet and some just ask you to use the product. I've seen some programs that are very involved and have a precise schedule to follow each day you are cleansing. One important thing to remember is make sure you are drinking plenty of pure water. Some herbal programs include psyllium husks as part of the fiber to absorb debris and toxins to move it out of the body. This kind of fiber swells many times its size when introduced to liquid. I talked to a person who took too much psyllium and didn't drink the proper amount of water or juice and ended up with a problem in her intestines. If you decide to do herbal formulas make sure to read and follow the instructions.
Some colon cleanse weight loss programs take a more complete approach to cleansing. They might include anti-parasite support formulas or probiotics that help rebuild the beneficial bacteria in the intestines. You can find gluten free formulas and ones that use Non GMO ingredients. The colon cleanse products come in the form of colon cleansing pills, capsules, powders and teas. If you are going to get the colon cleansing pills get the capsules because they will dissolve better and faster than the tablets.
Another way to do a colon cleanse weight loss program is to do a series of. When looking for a place that performs these services you can look for colonic hydrotherapy, colonic irrigation or colon irrigation. This involves introducing temperature controlled water into the bowel to flush the waste from the large intestine. It is a safe effective method. Getting a colonic can be a little awkward. The process takes about 40-50 minutes per session. The price in my area is about per session but you might be able to purchase a package of sessions for a discount. A free way to accomplish this is to do an at home enema. The equipment you need is an enema bag and clean water. When doing an enema you want to make sure the water is warm-not hot or cold. No matter what colon cleanse weight loss method you chose you may want to flush the bowels in combination with your herbal or diet cleanse for better results.
What are the risks of doing a colon cleanse weight loss program? There can be a number of risks and you should consult with your medical physician especially if you have any medical conditions or problems. If you are on medication, there are herbs and supplements that can affect or interfere with your medication.
While doing a Colon cleanse weight loss program you may experience cleansing reactions. Depending on your conditions and toxicity load you may experience light to severe cleansing reactions. You may experience tiredness, have headaches, flu like symptoms, sweating or rashes. You should not do vigorous exercise and plan to rest during your cleanse.
