Sometimes we feel uncomfortable with the unpleasant odor in our car. You can buy the product to impart fragrance in the shop. But, if you just want the other cheaper and easier way, you can try this tip. Place some coal briquettes under your car seat. The coal will absorb the unpleasant odor in your cabin. [...]

Dear Useless Men,Why do ppl who think they know everything often have 20 cats and always smell like cat pee?Honkeie2Dear Honkeie2Cat urine is stronger and more offensive than dog or human urine, so I can understand your repulsion. But don’t be too quick to judge, as there are plenty of stupid people who own cats as well. Take Jon Arbuckle for example. He’s not exactly famous for his knowledg

If you are like me you probably have several pairs of old athletic shoes, running shoes, cross trainers and just plain old athletic shoes.  I usually rotate these shoes from current running shoes, to yard work shoes to the trash and on to the next new pair.  That was until I found out about this [...]

I was busy packing this weekend so I didn't get a chance to wander down to confirm this, but maybe someone downtown or someone working at the Intercontinental can confirm if this is still a problem.Everyone I'm sure is already aware that James Hook Company, the lobster supplier, burned down last week (here). Subsequent news confirmed that along with the building, sixty thousand pounds of lobster

I have a critically important question to ask you girls this morning:Do you absolutely hate getting showered and dressed every day?I swear personal hygiene has become such an inconvenience for me, especially now that the kids are home for the summer and any structure has flown out the window. Am I the only one who finds it hard to get a bath before lunch?If I am - well, just carry on with your swe

This is “Uncle Oinker’s Bacon Scented Bacon Print Tuxedo“. What a great name! Its a tuxedo that is tailored from chemically treated latex print fabric and smells just like bacon cooking in the morning! Now you can party in bacon, get married in bacon, the possibilities are endless (though i doubt you’ll be able to pull in [...]

"The smell is their way to get rid of the bad lucks." Taking it constructively, I am making myself believe that the smelly front of Gaisano mall is their charm. LOL. Most of the times if not always, I get the chance to be stranded in Gaisano mall jeepney stop. Usually, the jeepney going to Panacan stop in front of the mall and wait for passengers to fill in the vacant seats. I understand them but that also made me suffer for a while. The place really sucks. It is so stinky. And this smell problem has been for years already. The management has not done something to remedy this. Is not this their responsibility? They are making the customers smell that stinky road. I am never used to that smell. My friends and I usually joke around whenever we encounter that smell. We complain, who wouldn't?

It is reported Julia Roberts doesn’t shave her arm pits very often in the past. Now she has told Contactmusic another smelly secret: Roberts admits she has never been a fan of sprays and roll-ons and prefers to use nothing but soap and water to stay clean and fresh. She says, "I don’t like to share [...]

Apparently Buenos Aires isn't the only city with air quality problems (see previous post). London has been the victim of manure like air blowing in from somewhere in Europe. It's suspected that pollution from a factory across the channel is to blame. Hmm.. I think I'll take smokey air over manure air any day!From todays Mirror Newsapaper - UKEurope blamed for foul stench over Southern EnglandA foul manure-like stench hanging over parts of Southern England yesterday has been blamed on Europe.Weather experts said east-blowing winds carried the nasty niff across the Channel as calls flooded in from London, Kent, Hertfordshire, Berkshire, East Anglia and Devon.The Met Office said the smell is believed to have been caused by a combination of agricultural and industrial pollution - with pig m

If you've ever thought of your light bulb as a serious underachiever without enough features, maybe it's time to spring for Viatek's new Ionic 15 watt compact fluorescent. This bulb pulls double duty, both brightening up your life and cleansing the air, all the while saving you money on your electric bill. The CFL uses 15 watts to produce the same amount of light as a 60 watt incandescent, lasts for 10,000 hours, and cleans a 100 square foot area with its built in ionic purifier. All for just $14.99 on Amazon. Now repeat after me - lazy light bulbs are for losers! [Amazon via Popgadget]

Yes, I swore I'd never write about celebrities on my blog.So I'm not.I'm going to write about shalebritays. (The desired pronunciation is that of Sascha Baron Cohen persona Bruno, the German fashionista. Make that Cherman fashionisto... Anyone ever see Bruno? I think he's making a movie about Bruno...I just know the hilarious Ali G. sketch.)So, since I must report on all things newsworthy in the world of mothering: shalebritay Trista Sutter. Does anyone remember her? How could we not? Even those of us without televisions knew a bobblehead bobble-boobed bachelorette had married some big bonehead Ken doll on television and received a lot of money for it.Now they are "happily married," have a bouncing baby boy, and Mom's pimping out a new line of diaper bags. Me, I think something smells a ta

The Seattle Mariners are set to introduce some new items at the stadium when they open the season at Safeco today. One of the brand new concession items will be a creepy re-imagining of the classic ballpark frank -- one in which the actual 'wiener' will instead be fish. The Sea Dog, as it has been dubbed, is a 10-inch filet of cod on a hot dog roll.I'm not down with the codpiece. But there are some other new food choices available this year such as ...cedar-planked salmon, catfish and fries, hand-dipped caramel popcorn, foot-long bratwursts, Auntie Anne's pretzels, French dip sandwiches and prime rib nachos.Related:The wait's over -- it's Opening Day [seattlepi.com]

In their paper “Chirality and Odor Perception – Scents of Precious Woods”, authors Leffingwell and John C. review the effect of chirality on the odor of “sandalwood odorants (beta-santalols, 3-isocamphylicyclohexanols & Ebanol((R))s), patchouli odorants (patchoulol & spiropatchoulolone), agarwood (karanone dihydrokaranone & jinkohol II) as well as the odor active components of other woody

These heart shaped cheeses (it doesn’t say which kind of cheese it is) must have been leftover from Valentine’s Day over at Philippe Olivier’s. They were on sale for 3.95 euros. ($5.78)

Are our favorite fragrances getting reformulated for no good reason? Ingredients like coumarin and oakmoss are increasingly getting a lot of bad publicity and gaining in notoriety. But are the claims against them substantiated? Some researchers tend to think that it might not all be as black and white as so far presented. Perhaps judgment has been passed too quickly - at least in the case of

A couple of weeks ago, in a different Smelly Facts post, we saw how bees gather and use perfume in order to communicate with each other. Today we turn our attention to a very different animal and they way it uses fragrant chemicals. Alloanointing is the transfer of chemicals among members of the same species – an activity that has long been documented in mammals. According to Hector Douglas, an

The title is a Warning... Whatever you read below is at your own risk and not my faultWell, before going in to the post let me tell you on what and who this post is? Do you Poo daily????If Yes, Where do you Poo? At Home. At Office or Anywhere, whenever you get the call.....Well if it is at Office then this post is for you....If No, Please dont sit and read this. GO and Meet a Good Doc.All Office Pooers ( also read it like me) have you ever admitted to your colleague sitting near youe cubicle that you Pooed and had mesed up the Loo???? Practically none of us would have done that... ( Include Me in it). The most dificult times are when you are in the mid of a meeting and suddenly you feel something hot and heavy boilng under your belly threatening to burst out of your Pants any moment...Time

Since speculation about which of our favorite, classic perfumes have been reformulated has been a rather hot topic in the last couple of years among perfume lovers, I decided to include an excerpt from a 2006 issue of New Scientist I found this week for today’s Smelly Facts post. We might not yet be 100% sure about most of the fragrances we are suspecting to be reformulated, but slowly, we are

The news that the missing trio of Fabregas, Hleb and Flamini all trained on Friday is welcome indeed. Added to the midweek return of Robin van Persie, it means that the strongest squad available to Arsene is ready for selection to varying degrees. He has commented that he will make a decision on Sunday morning about who participates that afternoon against Chelsea and to what extent their involvement will take. For all of the conjecture about the team, it would not surprise me if Arsene chose all of RvP, Flamini, Fabregas and Hleb to start. Fabregas is the subject of an interview in The Times this morning. He has some interesting views on English players, I don't see a lot of English players taking the risk to go out of the country to try to fight for their chance. It looks like they are comfortable where they are and that is it There is a substantial element of truth in that but historically Spaniards have travelled out of the country less than the English. Whilst it is becoming more

Smelling pleasantly can certainly improve the chances of being positively evaluated - for example a pleasant smelling man will be perceived as more attractive than an unpleasant smelling one, as the experiment presented in a previous Smelly Facts post a few weeks ago demonstrated. But making a good impression does not just depend on how attractive we look. The pitch of our voice, our style of

Hello again stagers, it is time for my daily blog...Today's issue is regarding houses that SMELL FUNNY.  A real estate agent recently sent me to a client's home that was on the market for a while to preform a staging consultation.  She wanted me to comment about all the "normal" staging issues, but mainly I was to address the "smell" of the home.  The homeowners were heavy smokers with pets - not an ideal house to list.Before the consultation, I did my research regarding air fresheners, carpet cleaning, etc., so when the consultation came all the information was laid out for the homeowners.Long story short, the homeowners complied with the recommendations and the house sold - YEAH!Staging Question:  WHAT IS YOUR RECOMMENDATION TO HOMEOWNERS WHOSE HOUSES STINK?

Smell plays such an important part of who we are attracted to and who we are NOT!Of course you girls have other ways of finding out what a guy is all about! Odour tells a lot about us whether we like it or not!And of course there are some people who can't be helped at all!Allan W Janssen is the author of The Plain Truth About God at www.God-101.com and the blog "Perspective" at http://God-101.blogspot.com

Do we take our sense of smell for granted? Do we lament the fact that it is nowhere near as sensitive as that of many other animals? It is still pretty remarkable. A few random facts today to remind us how special our sense of smell is. · “We can smell smoke at concentrations well below that needed to trigger even the most sensitive of household smoke detectors.” · “We can distinguish among

Visual cues -such as symmetrical features- are of great importance when judging how attractive a face is. Sensory cues however (such as a person’s voice) also play a big role in whether a face will be perceived as attractive. (Demattè et al., 2007) Could the presence (or indeed absence) of certain smells affect the perceived attractiveness of a face as well? “Olfactory Cues Modulate Facial

Perfume enthusiasts often marvel at the individual differences that emerge when one person’s experience of a scent is compared to another’s. Our individual perception of a scent is likely tied not only to life experiences that have shaped the way we perceive certain smells, but to constitutional differences as well. One very surprising and important variable that plays a role in olfactory

Theme: Smelly | Next week: Practical PhotoHunt in Technorati Warning: Do not open this can!!!!! Content: Surströmming = Fermented herring from northern Sweden. This is without doubt, the most smelly thing we have here in Sweden! I’m glad that we did not have that as party food yesterday! Thanks for coming here and having scary fun - you are all such fun to be with! Think of the most disgusting food you ever have eaten and then imagine that this is worse!!! You could faint just by the smell of it. I do not even know if I will call it smell, it is more like a stank. It is like eating rotten fish. They camouflage it with other stuff and drink heavily to be able to swallow it and the flies just LOVE it! YUK. It is considered a sanitarian inconvenience to open a surströmming can if you are living in an apartment building, because the smell is spreading far, far from the can. You can not hide it. Therefor, it is amost always opened outdoors and preferably eaten outdoors too

A trend is emerging across the world of hotels taking on various distinctive odours, according to reports.However the phenomenon is not the result of poor standards of cleanliness among hotel operators but an intentional ploy designed to enhance a customer's stay and convey the character of a destination.A number of major chains have begun to use the technique, including Sofitel Hotels and the InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), Australia's News.com reports.

Anosmia, the general lack of olfaction, can be congenital – that is, a person can be born anosmic. Alternatively, anosmia can occur later in life, either due to brain damage or because of vitamin A deficiency. In contrast, Specific Anosmia is the inability to detect the smell of a single chemical. A small percentage (2%-3%) of the general population for example, is unable to detect the smell of

Let’s just be brutally honest here: there’s quite a lot that can be deemed “smelly” here in Bangkok, actually all over southeast Asia. Most of the time, like my friend Sabine, I just try to turn off my sense of smell, but sometimes it truly is unavoidable. Like after it rains, and the air is so heavy you can’t believe it just rained (isn’t rain supposed to clear the air?), and you step outside of your mostly smell-free condo only to be immersed in the horrific scents wafting up from the much-too-close-to-the-surface gutter. Or when you’re strolling down a cute little soi (small street) and you stumble across the garbage disposal area for the neighborhood (and by “garbage disposal area” I mean the place where everyone just dumps their trash and waits for the poor souls that have to clean it up). Or maybe when you’re hanging out down in Chinatown and the mostly cleaned, but definitely deader-than-dead carcasses of whatever th

Have you ever heard others say that the adult brain has a fixed number of neurons and is unable to generate new ones once these die out? Indeed it was traditionally believed among scientists that the adult vertebrate brain could only lose neurons, never gain. (Kalat, 2007) Recently though, a small number of exceptions have been found. Among them, and of special interest to us of course, are the

By: Anne HostonYou have had a hard day at the office and now that you are home you can take your shoes off and relax. When you do take your shoes off though, you get a bad smell. The nasty odor that you are getting is from your feet, your still sock encased feet. This is a case of smelly feet.Smelly feet are unfortunately a part of our lives. As we spend almost our entire day wearing shoes and socks our feet dont get a chance to air out and breathe. This lack of being able to breathe means that our feet become damp and bacteria starts to grow in this condition.The bacteria that causes our smelly feet produces an acid called Isovaleric acid. It is this acid which is responsible for the bad odor. The bacteria acts on the sock enclose feet which have become sweaty. The sweat in turn acts as an agent for the bacteria to breed and the accumulation of Isovaleric acidic bacteria is why we get smelly feet.There are also other reasons why we can get smelly feet besides wearing socks and shoes.

Fall has come and the leaves are turning yellow, reminding us that we soon have to prepare ourselves for winter. The other day a co-worker said that she had a pair of high quality winter boots at home but that she couldn't use them because they were too smelly and that she had to buy new ones. Instead of finding a way to get rid of the smell she just had to buy herself a new pair. A perfect example of how our unsustainable society works. If something has a small defect we throw it away and buy a new one.This kind of behavior is driving climate change. A recent report from the World Watch Institute says that the window to prevent catastrophic climate change is closing. We have to learn that less is more and become more conscious about what and how we consume.Related article: Can shopping save the planet?

New babies have a certain smell. It’s a bit like the smell of a new car or a new carpet. It’s reassuring and makes you happy with your purchase; all-in-all it’s a very satisfying smell. Note: Babies don’t actually smell of new cars or new carpets they smell of, well, new babies and nor should did we purchase our one. Little P (as apt a nickname as there is at the moment for all the nappy changing action there’s been) has the new baby smell. But I’m not too satisfied with it; in fact, I just don’t like it. I think my brain is still associating the smell of the baby with the smell of the hot delivery room (blood, urine, faeces, that sort of thing) and it’s faintly off putting. Plus his umbilical cord stump is smelling pretty disgusting - as rotting flesh tends to do. And on top of that, there’s the smell of dirty nappies. When I hold him close to me I still have a wave of affection pass over my body as I know that this my son and I do

Yes, Miniature Schnauzer’s have very hairy ears; inside and out. Sometimes this can cause them a few problems though.

Country Ham N Eggs Restaurant709 US Highway 1Sebastian, FL 32958Where is it?From the entrance, turn right and head to the back corner of the dining room. The bathrooms are there. Of course, this is a small place, so don't expect to go very far -- the entrance to the men's room is only a few feet from a table (clearly for the establishment's less-desirable clientele).What's it like?This restaurant's name pretty much gives you a clue as to what the toilet will be like. This is a humble towny diner serving decent breakfasts at reasonable prices. Good country ham too, in case you're wondering.The interior reminded me a lot of the inside of a mobile, with white faux-wood fiberboard walls and Formica tables and a bit coffee station in the middle. The bathrooms extend that decor -- clean and homey, but also a bit on the trailer-park side (no doubt the desired effect, I'm thinking). That same fiberboard covers the walls here, given a cozy, insulated feel to the room. The toilet, sink an

I've been telling Andrew for a while now that we could use a new kitchen--my cabinets give new meaning to the words "distressed look." But it's not as high on his list of priorities as, say, a flat screen TV or a Jeep Cherokee or some other such manly purchase. However Fate is the great equalizer and has smiled upon me. Kind of.Monday night I was fixing dinner and running the garbage disposal--a vintage 1910 steam-powered model made right around the same time as the incandescent lightbulb and which should have been put down rather than plugged in--when something made a Bad Sound. Potato peelings flew, water gurgled, slime spewed, broccoli pieces and egg shells swished upward and out while the most horrific metal-grinding-against-metal sound let me know that something wasn't quite right. (I'm a genius).The whole thing blew, water poured out of pipes below the sink and for the next half hour I worked to determine that yes, my garbage disposal had left this life in search of a bet

Hi guys! I hope every one's new year is off to a good start. I was hoping I misunderstood Whistler, and that she didn't lose another Donkey! Words can't express how sorry we are for her. I'd have had a nervous break down then Early wouldn't have gotten laid and he would have had to have kilt em fer sure. We've finally figured out what country we want to go to. Now all we have to do is hope beyond hope, that we get every thing sold soon, in the next few months I mean. I won't give it away just yet, but I'll give you a few hints. The cost of living is reasonable, we can take the babies, and flights are fairly priced if you buy them a month or two in advance. It's beautiful, you can tan on topless beaches, the weather is never too hot, never too cold. It's a safe country, as far as safe goes. After living in Boise for years, being tortured and lied about by the locals just for fun, I'd say East LA is a safe place. What do I know.We've been practicing up on our espan yo lee. La

today felt like april in montreal. like that first really nice day of spring, where you go find a terrace to sit and have a beer on. only, it's not april, it's february; and i'm not in montreal, i'm in gimhae; and there are no terraces here, or people to have beer with in the middle of the afternoon. oh well. i think that was more of a 'university days' thing too... ? maybe, or maybe it's a montreal thing... but i digress.it was a beautiful day today. the sun was shining and you could smell spring in the air. in montreal that would mean the smell of a winters' worth of accumulated dog feces, but in korea, it just means the air was fresh... mostly. i decided it would be a terrible waste to spend the afternoon holed up in my little room, so i headed up to the roof for some sun. (yes, i have an easily accessible roof, which is at my disposal - yay!) so i got a book (two actually since i was about to finish one), a bottle of water, and a blanket to sit on, and walked up one flight

    Remember the Smelly Car episode from Seinfeld?  It went like this… The strong body odor of a valet is left in Jerry’s BMW 5 Series.  Jerry is forced to try to sell the car, because the odor has taken a life of its own and permeated everything.  When the car can’t be sold, Jerry winds up leaving it and the keys out on the street. Well, art sometimes
