How to Maintain Wooden Furniture

When moving a piece of wooden furniture, carry it by the frame, which is the strongest part of the piece.  If a dresser is too heavy, take out a few of the drawers to make it lighter to carry.  Never try to lift a bulky piece of furniture by the top board because it could separate from the frame.  When you open drawers in a wooden dresser, always open it with two hands, and pull straight out.

 

When you clean your wooden furniture, you need to make sure that you are using the correct cleaner on the piece.  To clean wooden furniture with a dull or discolored shellac finish, use a solution of equal parts of mineral oil, turpentine, and white vinegar.  Rub the solution in with a sponge, and then wipe it off with a clean rag.  To clean oily buildup resulting from polishing, rub the piece twice with turpentine on a clean rag.  If the whole rag becomes soiled, get a new one.  To remove wax buildup from the hinges of your furniture, use an artist brush to paint turpentine onto the hinges.  Then wipe the hinges with a damp cloth.  Cleaning the hinges will keep them working properly. 


If you like to paint old furniture, but some of it appears a bit worn and you do not want to repaint or refinish the piece, rub a little mineral oil into it.  This will get rid of the caked-on dust and brighten up the color.  You can also wash a painted piece of furniture with a mild dishwashing liquid. 


If you have tablecloth that has become stuck to your table, rub a liberal amount of mayonnaise over the flannel that has come off the back of the tablecloth.  Let the mayonnaise sink in for about an hour, then wipe up the muck with a clean paper or cloth towel.  If you have crayon marks on your wooden furniture, you can rub mayonnaise into the affected area.  Let it soak in for a few minutes, then rub the area clean with a damp cloth. 

Sometimes you can cover up a furniture scratch rather than actually removing it.  Choose a wax crayon that matches the color of the finish on your scratched furniture.  Rub a little into the scratch and the scratch will appear to blend in with the finish.  If your scratched wooded furniture has a dark stain, use instant coffee to cover the scratch.  Make a thick paste of coffee granules and water, and then rub the paste into the scratch.


To freshen up wooden furniture that is scuffed or scratched, sand the damaged areas lightly with extra fine grade steel wool.  Then apply one of the oil-based colored furniture polishes available at hardware stores.  Allow the polish to dry completely.  If necessary, sand again lightly with the steel wool to feather in or soften the color.


White spots that appear on the surface of wooden furniture are caused by moisture.  To remove these kinds of spots, dip a piece of extra fine grade steel wool in mineral oil.  Rub the steel wool back and forth over the stain.  Remember to always rub with the grain of the wood.  If a white stain is small and does not appear too deep, use your finger to gently rub a little toothpaste into it and then wipe the area clean.  Another way to remove white stains from wooden furniture is to apply baking soda to them with a damp cloth then wipe the soda off. 


To get candle wax off your wooden tabletop, gently scrape or peel up as much as you can with hurting the wood.  Then use a hair dryer to soften the wax so that the wax does not heat up too much.  Once the wax is soft, blot it with a paper towel.


To tighten a loose screw in a piece of wooden furniture, first remove it.  Insert wooden matchsticks or toothpicks into the hole, and then replace the screw in the hole.  The sticks should hold the screw tightly in place.  To strengthen a shelf that is sagging, screw metal supports to the underside of each end of the shelf and its corresponding upright. This will keep your wooden furniture strong and looking good.

Detainee Denies Participation in Singapore, Indonesia Bombings

 

By Carmen L. Gleason

American Forces Press Service

 

April 13, 2007 – An alleged al Qaeda leader being held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, denied involvement in bombings in both Indonesia and Singapore, according to a transcript of his hearing released yesterday.  Riduan bin Isomuddin, known as "Hambali," either declined to answer or said he had no involvement with the operations brought forth during his April 4 combatant status review tribunal hearing at the detention facility.

 

The tribunal was an administrative hearing to determine only if the detainee could be designated as an enemy combatant.

 

Hambali said that while he was a member of Jemaah Islamiyah, a Southeast Asian militant Islamic organization, he had no interaction with al Qaeda.

 

Evidence presented during the hearing showed that he had been the operations chief of Jemaah Islamiyah and served as its main contact for al Qaeda in Southeast Asia. He also helped recruit members for al Ghuraba, the foreign student organization that helped develop Jemaah Islamiyah organization in Pakistan.

 

He also had served as the leader of the Malaysia Mujahedin group, according to U.S. government information presented in the hearing. That group's mission is to topple the Indonesian government. During the hearing, a Federal Bureau of Investigation source was cited as having contact with Hambali when he orchestrated and funded the December 2000 bombing of a church in Indonesia that killed 18 people.

 

An FBI source also stated that in January 2002 the detainee discussed carrying out attacks in bars, cafes and night clubs frequented by westerners in Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines and Indonesia. The source said the detainee claimed to have 1 ton of explosives within Indonesia.

 

After Hambali allegedly discussed bombing such places and having large amounts of explosives, at least 187 people were killed and more than 300 foreign tourists were injured in October 2002 when an explosion destroyed a nightclub on the Indonesian resort island of Bali.

 

In his hearing, Hambali denied having supervised the plan to bomb the U.S., Australian and British embassies in Singapore. However, an FBI source stated that the detainee served as the point man between al Qaeda operatives and the mastermind in this plan, which government officials called the "Singapore plot."

 

Other evidence presented during the hearing showed that a document seized during Hambali's arrest provided instructions for manufacturing vest bombs used by suicide bombers. However, Hambali said he had "no answer" when he was asking during the hearing what his involvement was in making explosives.

 

The hearing came to a close when the hearing president said an assessment would be made as to whether the detainee continued to pose a threat to the United States or coalition partners in the ongoing conflict against terrorist organizations. The detainee was told that he would have the opportunity to be heard and to present relevant information later to an administrative review board.

 

The government implemented the CSRTs in July 2004 in response to a June 28, 2004, Supreme Court ruling in the case of Rasul v. Bush. The court ruled that enemy combatants held by the U.S. government had the right to contest their status before a judge or other neutral decision maker.

 

Between July 2004 and March 2005, DoD conducted 558 CSRTs at Guantanamo Bay. At the time, 38 detainees were determined to no longer meet the definition of enemy combatant, and 520 detainees were found to be enemy combatants.
