Everything Went Sideways on the Monitor

One of the catalog computers did an odd thing today. Everything suddenly appeared sideways on the screen. It would have been perfect if it had happened on April 1st.
Anyway, the fix for this dilemma is ridiculously simple.
Enter these keys, and voila - everything is back to normal, and no one will have a stiff neck.

Data & Statistics Lovers

Sis told me about this site. It's to die for. It has every statistic on every country you could ever want. You can compare data between countries. Go to their homepage, and it'll explain it all much better than I can.

Best Wedding Punch

This punch was served at a wedding reception we attended back in 1972. I remember it was so good, I asked the bride for the recipe.

Jennifer's Wedding Punch

4 oz. lemon juice
4 oz. pineapple juice
3 oz. fruit cordial
8 oz. brandy
3 oz. grenadine
1 bottle - white wine
2 bottles - champagne

Mix all, except for the champagne, over ice in a bowl.
Add the champagne, and some fruit just before serving.

32 servings, depending on who's serving

How to Contact Syracuse China Archives

Recently, there was an event at Syracuse China, where you could bring in your pieces for identification. I missed it, but the newspaper article said you could also mail in photos for identification.
Here's the address:

Syracuse China Archives Department

Forget calling them. The phone menu is impossible.
