Deciding to use it as a teaching moment for his young children, he summoned the family to the kitchen, where, with great dra- matic flair, he dumped the con- tents down the sink. Had he known about today's first reader tip, he might have moved the venue to the bathroom and used the shower drain as the receptacle, but only after first spritzing down the walls and floor. VODKA IN THE SHOWER. At my sister-in-law's suggestion, I cleaned my large fiberglass shower stall with cheap vodka. It worked like a charm! I sprayed it on, wiped it off with a clean cloth and enjoyed instant results. The vodka cuts through the residue left behind by soap, shampoo and water. It certain- ly kills germs with all that alcohol, and it's much cheaper per ounce than the pricey cleaning products on today's market. I plan to try this on Formica countertops and all my sinks, too. The vodka is 10 years old, a leftover from a family wed- ding. I did take precautions to keep the vodka away from the material that seals the drain. -- Judith, e-mail CLOSET ROTATIONS. I have another trick to make sure our clos- ets don't get overrun with cloth- ing that we don't wear. Every time my daughter buys a new item, she has to take one older item out of her closet and put it in my donation bag. I do the same. Our theme is "One goes in; one comes out." -- Diane, e-mail PICTURE-PERFECT SCANNER. I've solved the problem of detecting scanning errors. I take a picture of the shelf bar code or sale sign of the item with my cell phone. At checkout time, I've got proof of the adver- tised price. The store almost always honors the advertised price without question. -- Jean, Ohio Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate LETTUCE CONTAINERS FOR STORAGE. I use the clear plastic containers that lettuce comes in at the big-box stores for storage. They are handy for storing loose items -- such as gloves, tools and rags -- and they fit nicely on a shelf. They also work well in the pantry for that last granola bar or packet of hot cocoa. They are also great for organizing and storing vitamin bottles. When you need something, you can see through the plastic and get what you want easily. -- Louise, e-mail TEA-KETTLED EGGS. When I need to hard-boil just three or four eggs, I don't waste the energy to heat up a pan on my gas stove. Instead, I cook them in my electric teakettle. I add the eggs and fill it to the top line with water. I allow the water to come to a full boil, turn the kettle off and let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes. I pour out the water, refill it with cold water and let it sit for five to 10 more minutes. Swish a little soapy water in the kettle and it's ready to go for tea again. -- Susie, Washington Would you like to send a tip to Mary?

Mary Hunt is the founder of www.DebtProofLiving.com and author of 18 books, including "Debt- Proof Living" and "Tiptionary 2." Scientific investigation and morality The Center for Applied and Professional Ethics (CAPE) at California State University, Chico is pre- senting its third fall forum on Wednesday, Nov. 17 at 7:30 p.m. A panel of ethics philosophers and a biolo- gist will debate what role, if any, scientific investiga- tion plays in our under- standing of morality. The forum, “Can Science Determine Human Val- ues?” will be held in PAC 134 at 7:30 p.m. Robert Jones, director of CAPE, said that the topic for this forum was explored in the book “The Moral Landscape: How Science Can Determine Human Values” by Sam Harris. “Harris argues that questions about moral and human values are ques- tions that can ultimately be best understood scientifi- cally,” said Jones. “But many object, claiming that, though scientific inquiry into the biological, physio- logical and psychological basis of human well-being can be fruitful, there remain important ways in which questions of ethics and morality fall outside the scope of scientific investigation.” The panel members include John Mahoney, a professor in the Depart- ment of Biological Sci- ences, and Troy Jollimore, Becky White and Zanja Yudell, professors in the Department of Philosophy, California State University Chico. Prof. Jollimore special- izes in meta-ethics, norma- tive ethics and philosophy of literature and film. He has also had published scores of popular essays, reviews, and interviews, including an interview with Richard Dawkins for the Voices of Reason video series. Prof. Mahoney special- izes in host-pathogen inter- actions, inflammation, and signal transduction. Prof. White specializes in ethical theory and bio- medical ethics, areas that first engaged her interest when she was working as a critical care nurse. Prof. Yudell specializes in philosophy of science, with focus on the philoso- phy of physics. The forum is free and open to the public. The Center for Applied and Professional Ethics pro- motes ethical reflection about issues of concern within and outside the Uni- versity.

Health at every size presentation set “Health at Every Size” (HAES) will be presented at 7 p.m. Thurs- day by Linda Bacon, PhD, who will discuss the scientific evidence that underlies our current understanding of weight. Professor Bacon’s visit is sponsored by the Dietetic Intern- ship program, California State Uni- versity, Chico. The forum, which is free and open to the public, will be held in Holt 170 on the CSU, Chico cam- pus. HAES supports people in adopting good habits for the sake of health and well-being, rather than weight control. Michelle Morris, professor of nutrition and director of the CSU, Chico Dietetic Internship program, said that the topic for this forum is Police reports The following infor- mation is compiled from Red Bluff Police Department, Tehama County Sheriff’s Department, Corning Police Department and California Highway Patrol.

The theft is believed to have taken place between 10 and 11 a.m. Friday. explored in Bacon’s book, “Health at Every Size: The Surprising Truth About Your Weight.” “Bacon argues that fat isn’t the problem, dieting is the problem,” said Morris. “Bacon contends that much of the health risk associated with weight is caused by faulty assumptions of well-intended obesity ‘experts’ rather than fat itself. She will debunk the weight myths and trans- late the latest science into practical advice.” Professor Bacon has graduate degrees in physiology, specializing in nutrition; psychology, specializ- ing in eating disorders and body image; and exercise science, spe- cializing in metabolism. She is affiliated with City College of San Trespassing • At 6:14 p.m. Monday officers were sent to the 500 block of Madison Street after receiving a report of trespassing at a residence.
