I have a Bosch Dishwasher which is about 3 years old. Over the past month or so I have noticed that when cycle has finished, items on top shelf (mainly glasses) are left with varying degrees of food scraps. I have tried cleaning filter and also have bought commercial dishwasher cleaning products to no avail. It also happens to some of the bottom shelf items occasionally as well. Any suggestions?

I want to ensure that the privet hedge I grow is thick all the way down to the ground. I have seen some good privet hedges which are entirely thick and square, but also many that have gaps and exposed trunk at the bottom... I do not want this. Also, i have heard that privet grows well from cuttings... is this true, and how should I do about this? Or should I buy plants from a nursery? If I bought plants, how could I ensure that there would be no gaps at the bottom?

I've had this stain on my jumper for ages and keep washing it but it won't budge. I've tried soaking vinegar for a couple of hours and its still the same. I can't bleach it as its pink. Does anyone have a suggestion?

The wiring comes through a hole in the mirror. The previous fixture was too heavy they put it up with special tape but it gave way.

Is there any way to limit the damage done to a book I borrowed from a friend? There was a coffee spill in the house and some seeped into the edges of pages. The book is hardback and the paper is that thick kind, like old library books.

I'm going to install an outlet in my closet because I don't have any in there right now. I'm taking a straight shot up the wall into the attic and tapping into the hot side of the light switch that controls the attic light (so that the outlet is not dependant on the attic light being on). Any problem with that so far?

Will any 20 amp/125 volt receptacle be safe to use? The circuit breaker is 20 amps and I'm matching the 12/2 wire used in the attic light.

I'm asking because I didn't realize there were so many receptacles out there. Do all the new receptacles have the horizontal piece on one of the prongs now? I don't have any appliances like that. Excpet my dryer but that's 220.

Thank you.

*I am trying to find out proper lighting to reduce light damage on pieces of artwork and posters that I own. One suggestion was to have a recommended lighting level of 50 lux.

*I have heard that it is possible to put some sort of UV protection covers on lights to help block UV rays as well.
