History

A highly influential British sketch comedy show, Monty Python's Flying Circus ran until 1974 and subsequently spawned four movies and several live shows. With scenes such as "The Dead Parrot Sketch" and "The Spanish Inquisition," the innovative, disjointed, non-traditional show became a cult favorite noted for its surreal, sarcastic, innuendo-laden humor.

Larry Fine (1902)

Fine was just a toddler when his left arm was badly burned by acid used in his father's Philadelphia jewelry store. To help strengthen his damaged arm, Fine learned to play violin, which led him to a career in vaudeville. In the 1920s, he joined the comedy act that would become The Three Stooges, catapulting him—and his trademark unruly hair—to fame in several feature films and hundreds of shorts.

Hindus devote this day to the moon god, Hari. In the belief that amrit (elixir) is showered on the earth by moonbeams, they prepare khir (milk thickened with rice and mixed with sugar) on this day and offer it to Hari amid the ringing of bells and chanting of hymns. The mixture is left out in the moonshine all night so that it may absorb the amrit falling from the moon. The resulting khir is believed to possess special qualities. In the evening, the moon god is worshiped and offered food. The next morning, the specially prepared khir is given to the devotees.

If You Were Born Today, October 5
Although restless at heart, you are a person who craves stability and security. This is why you work so hard at whatever you do. Not one to expect everything to be handed to you on a silver platter, you instinctively put effort into earning your lifestyle. Versatility is an important keyword for you. Whether you satisfy your yen for new experiences through travel or “armchair travel,” you are forever curious and interested in the world around you. Your values are strong and definite. Romantic relationships may be a little rocky, as you are often attracted to people who challenge you. You are romantic and passionate. Likely, your later life is significantly more relaxed, probably because you learn to enjoy the fruits of your own labor. Famous people born today: Kate Winslet, Nicky Hilton, Mario Lemieux, Patrick Roy, Michael Andretti, Bob Geldof, Clive Barker, Jeff Conaway, Steve Miller.

EYE OPENER 
Time Saving Tips for the Home
  • tips and tricks for the kitchen

  • Push in the perforated tabs that you’ll find at each end of a box of plastic wrap.  This will prevent the roll from falling out when you use it.
  • Keep a small working supply of dishwasher tabs on your kitchen window sill to save time when you’re ready to run the dishwasher. *This is not advised for a home with young children as the tabs may be mistaken for candy.
  • Some commercial brands of sauces are bottled in Mason jars which can be fitted with mason jar lids for future canning and storage.
gift cards clipped to key ring
  • Too many gift cards taking up space in your wallet?  Punch a hole in the corner of each card and slide them onto a key ring.  Store in a pocket of your handbag for quick and easy access. *Be sure not to punch the hole through the bar code or magnetic strip.
cleaning pan and glass top stove with credit card and razor
  • Keep an expired credit card or gift card at the sink to scrape baked food from pans and glassware. (I keep my larger bread tabs for this job.)
  • Store a razor blade in a cute container on top of your stove and use it to scrape dried spills and along the edges of the stove.
dustbuster to clean toaster tray oven and fridge
  • Use your hand-vac to clean excess crumbs from the tray underneath your toaster.
  • For a self-cleaning oven, once the ash and debris has completely cooled, quickly vacuum the floor of the oven clean.
  • Quickly clean up crumbs and dry debris under the refrigerator’s crisper drawers with a hand-vac.
wrap a gift in a pull tab can
  • Disguise a gift of cash, concert tickets or gift cards in a clean, used, pull-tab can.  See the how-to here.  It’s not really a time-saver, but it’s a favourite holiday trick of mine.
broken egg shell frozen lemons and electric mixer hacks
  • You know how frustrating it is to get that elusive little piece of egg shell out of the egg white when you mess up cracking an egg?  Use a half-shell to scoop it up.  For some reason it works almost like a magnet. Quick and easy every time!
  • Wind the cord of your electric mixer around the handle of a bowl when you need a hands-free moment while baking. It’s kind of like a make-shift stand-mixer.  Just don’t leave it unattended!  You could come back to a mess.
  • Fill empty citrus rinds with water and freeze.  They come in handy when you need to keep a jug of lemonade or a bowl of punch cold.
organizing plastic bags and dish cloths
  • Use a Pringles can to store plastic bags in a kitchen drawer.
  • I have a ton of color-coded face-cloths for my daycare kids.  I “file” them upright rather than stacking them flat. I can fit way more in the drawer this way.
sewing hacks
  • A small piece of adhesive-backed velcro stuck to the edge of the sewing machine is so much handier than using a pincushion. You won’t have to look away from your work when you need a pin or when you’re removing pins from the garment while you’re stitching.
  • Turn your family’s old jeans into durable, stain resistant bibs for your baby and toddler. They wash well and hold up much longer than a store-bought bib.  See the step-by-step tutorial here.
  • Here’s another great way to use your old jeans.Turn a pant-leg into an adorable and durable craft apron for a toddler or preschooler. See the easy-to-follow instructions here.
how to clean a burned pot or pan
  • Clean the burned, black bottom of a steel pot or pan in minutes.  Fill the pot with an inch of water, add a few drops of dish soap and a couple of tablespoons of baking soda. Bring to a boil (it will happen quickly!) and then reduce to simmer for a few minutes.  Whisk the bottom of the pan quickly to lift off all the black bits.
backyard play hacks
  • Take a hand-towel and a large bowl or basin of soapy water out to the yard for kids to quickly clean up in when they’re playing or doing messy activities outside.
  • Save from running in and out of the house to get drinks when the weather is warm.  Fill up a camping jug with water and let kids pour and refill their own refreshments when they’re thirsty.  It’s a fun way to keep them hydrated, and they may just find some other other creative ways to use that water too!
bedroom space hack
  • Short on space on the table, desk or counter top?  Stand a tissue box on its end.
  • Fold your kids’ shirts as usual, and then roll them to store them in the drawer.   The drawer will stay much neater, and he’ll wear more of his tees because he’ll be able to see them all at a glance.
hair dryer hacks
  • Stubborn stickers can be a breeze to remove with the help of a hair dryer.  The hot air from the dryer helps soften the glue and in many cases you can easily pull stickers off bedroom doors, walls and even glass jars and containers.
  • Dry your craft projects in minutes with a blast of hot air from a blow-dryer.
homemade bubble blowersCollage
herb and spice storage hacks
  • Store your dried spices in small canning jars.  They stack well, hold plenty, and take up less cupboard less cupboard space than traditional spice bottles.
  • When labeling spice jars and bottles, put the label on the jar rather than on the lid. That way if the lids get mixed up, it doesn’t matter!  Nothing worse than having a lid that’s labelled “oregano” on the jar that holds the dried mint!
  • Use a pair of these Triple Blade Herb Scissors to save time (and your fingers) when chopping fresh herbs for cooking.
