Stocking supplies your housecleaner prefers is a good move. (Fotolia.com / May 7, 2013) |
Finding good help can be a challenge in itself, ranging from locating someone trustworthy to making sure the cleaning person does a good job. While anyone can clean house, not all contractors are dedicated to top quality work.
Here are some basics on good cleaning help - and what to do once you find someone.
Houses of worship can be good resources for locating honest, dependable people. Consider advertising at your church and other local houses of worship.
Place ads in local newspapers and post them on bulletin boards in the community. This is a good way to find someone familiar with your neighborhood.
Ask friends and neighbors. Alert them with an email about your need for a reliable housecleaner.
Go national. Commercial cleaning services are easy to find, but be aware that many use a team approach, blazing through a home in 30 minutes or less. Many home office workers prefer this style of cleaning because cleaners are in and out quickly.
Negotiate and communicate. Put together a list of everything you want your housecleaner to do, as well as all the things you DON'T want done. If it's not important to you whether the clothes in your kid's closets are neatly arranged, say so. Explain your top priorities, such as sweeping, mopping, cleaning bathrooms and dusting.
Define what needs special treatment. A new housecleaner may not know that silk oriental carpets should never be vacuumed, or that pendulum clocks should not be moved. If you have furnishings, decorative pieces, or other items that require special treatment, make sure the housecleaner is aware of this so no damage is done. Follow the rule of "no assumptions."
Create an expectation at the outset. Suggest a trial period of one month, then reassess how things are going for the both of you to determine whether or not you want to continue the arrangement. This gives you an out if you're unhappy with the service provided.
Don't sabotage the relationship. Remember, if your contractor cleans house for a living, treat the person a professional. Stay out of the way and let the cleaner work. Don't micromanage and insist he or she use paper towels to clean windows if the worker favors a cleaning towel. If you expect someone to clean exactly the way you do, then you shouldn't hire a housecleaner.
Stock supplies the housecleaner prefers. Show the contractor what you have on hand and ask if he/she has any preferred products. Keep a good supply of products available and explain any special preferences you have, such as natural cleaning products. If your housecleaner can work in a way that's comfortable and familiar, the work will go faster - and better.

Free standard shipping on full-size orders $50+
Ordered this product merely because I was curious. Totally love everything about this lipstick! It is super moisturizing and gives a perfect natural color that flatters everyone!! Always searching for that perfect shade for daytime & this is it!!
I thought it was grainy. Ended up passing it to a friend that loved it. Really just personal preference.
Saw an ad for the make-up that Alicia Silverstone was involved in creating and liked the idea of no animal by-products and cruelty free. This proves that it can be done, and done well! I absolutely adore the color and it goes on beautifully. Stays on well too. I sought this out at a local chain store and it was priced very reasonably! 5-star rating? Easy!
This product is lovely and so is the packaging. It is like it's own present! The color stays on well and it is moisturizing.
The color, the texture, everything about the product itself is wonderful. Very natural, goes on smooth. I love it. But the packaging is horrible. Day one the entire lipstick fell out. The packaging sticks so that it is very difficult to pull the lid off.
This color is not so great. It is just there. Doesn't really offer much…..no moisture and definitely not much color. Sorry but not worth the money.
I love pink lipsticks and this one is great for all seasons- pretty sheer/light and not cakey. Glides on similarly to a gloss, but stands out like lipstick. My skin tone is medium/tan and it looked great against my tan in the summer. Have also worn when my skin's been a bit paler in the summertime. Another perk to me is the organic ingredients. My only issue was that the product was sent to me kind of broken, however I was able to make do and ended up keeping it rather than going through the hassle of a return.
I thought I wild love this color, but it just did not work out. The texture and feel were great but if it don't look good on you don't do it! I gave this to my mother who agrees it feels great on, doesn't dry out (or make her lips look dried and cracked) and most importantly looks good on her.
I really liked the fact that this product was organic and cruelty free. The color is beautiful and I think universally flattering. The texture is very creamy and pretty moisturizing. The only downside is the staying power. The product only last for about 2 or 3 hours so you will have to re-apply throughout the day. Overall, I really like this lipstick.
I hated the smell of this stuff. It smelled cheap and the order never wore off. I threw it out!

A breath-holding spell is an episode in which the child stops breathing and loses consciousness for a short period immediately after a frightening or emotionally upsetting event or a painful experience.
Breath-holding spells occur in 5% of otherwise healthy children. They usually begin in the first year of life and peak at age 2. They disappear by age 4 in 50% of children and by age 8 in about 83% of children. Breath-holding spells can take one of two forms.
The cyanotic form of breath-holding, which is most common, is initiated subconsciously by young children often as a component of a temper tantrum or in response to a scolding or other upsetting event. Episodes peak at about 2 years and are rare after 5 years. Typically, the child cries out (without necessarily being aware they are doing so), breathes out, and then stops breathing. Shortly afterward, the skin begins to turn blue, and the child becomes unconscious. A brief seizure may occur. After a few seconds, breathing resumes and normal skin color and consciousness return. It may be possible to interrupt the episode by placing a cold rag on the child's face when the spell begins. Despite the frightening nature of the episode, the parents must try to avoid reinforcing the initiating behavior. Parents should not avoid providing appropriate structure for children out of fear of causing spells. Distracting children and avoiding situations that lead to tantrums are the best ways of preventing and treating these spells. Cyanotic breath-holding spells respond to treatment with iron supplements, even when the child does not have iron-deficiency anemia, and to treatment for obstructive sleep apnea.
The pallid form typically follows a painful experience, such as falling and banging the head or being suddenly startled. The brain sends out a signal (via the vagus nerve) that severely slows the heart rate, causing loss of consciousness. Thus, in this form, the loss of consciousness and stoppage of breathing (which are both temporary) result from a nerve response to being startled that leads to slowing of the heart.
The child stops breathing, rapidly loses consciousness, and becomes pale and limp. A seizure and incontinence may occur. The heart typically beats very slowly during a spell. After the spell, the heart speeds up again, breathing restarts, and consciousness returns without any treatment. Because this form is rare, further diagnostic evaluation and treatment may be needed if the spells occur often.

The Face of Battle
A Study of Agincourt, Waterloo, and the Somme
John Keegan - Author
Military historian John Keegan's groundbreaking analysis of combat and warfare The Face of Battle is military history from the battlefield: a look at the direct experience of individuals at the "point of maximum danger." Without the myth-making elements of rhetoric and xenophobia, and breaking away from the stylized format of battle descriptions, John Keegan has written what is probably the definitive model for military historians. And in his scrupulous reassessment of three battles representative of three different time periods, he manages to convey what the experience of combat meant for the participants, whether they were facing the arrow cloud at the battle of Agincourt, the musket balls at Waterloo, or the steel rain of the Somme. "The best military historian of our generation." –Tom Clancy
Acknowledgments Chapter I: Old, Unhappy, Far-off Things
A Little Learning Chapter 2: Agincourt, 25 October 1415
The Campaign Chapter 3: Waterloo, 18 June 1815
The Campaign Chapter 4: The Somme, 1 July 1916
The Battlefield Chapter 5: The Future of Battle
The Moving Battlefield
"In this book, which is so creative, so original, one learns as much about the nature of man as of battle."
"This without any doubt is one of the half-dozen best books on warfare to appear in the English language since the end of the Second World War."
"A totally original and brilliant book" |

Zebra Asymmetrical Skirt
This is an interesting skirt. I pondered returning but each time I tried on; I LIKE THE FABRIC, THE UNUSUAL STYLE AND THE PRINT, and the comfort of ELASTIC WAIST which allows the opening somewhat to the left side, if preferred. This is a skirt I will not wear often but with the correct top and shoes it will get some stares. Like watch out the 75 yr lady is stepping out. I love this skirt.
October 30, 2013
I wanted to love this - and didn't
Cute concept with the asymmetrical hemline. Unfortunately the fabric is a bit too thin, resulting in "show-through" in the white and lighter colored areas. Drop waist would have worked better for me if it had been deeper. As it is, to me it looks like it couldn't make up its mind whether to be a wide waistband, or a dropped yoke effect. It may well work on someone else - just not for me. This one went back, sadly.

Jungle Drama
Make no mistake, this skirt makes a stunning statement for day or night. I wore it with a kakhi sport shirt and shell for afternoon. For a summer evening event I wore it, walking on the wild side, with a camisole, chunky jungle jewelry and a unique leather belt. The fabric is absolutely luxe and the asymmetrical design drapes the figure beautifully. I have even turned it into a strapless dress with a shrug on the shoulders and a beaded leather belt at the waist. It's cute in an elegant way. There is a little "jungle princess" in all of us!

Great find
I love this skirt. Very unique and will be fun to wear for travel.
August 1, 2013
Received the skirt in time to wear to a fancy country club dinner. I got many compliments on it. The only negative is that I am petite and a petite version was not offered, so it is longer than I would have liked but still very wearable. Won't wrinkle. I intend to take it on our upcoming cruises.

Accomplish the mission, fly and drop the treasure
Thor The hedgehog is a casual game for Android in which you're a hedgehog that needs to travel with a balloon and a treasure and needs to be careful because it can be dangerous. The objective is to attach the balloons to the treasure and flick your finger so the hedgehog jumps and the treasure lands safely.
When the treasure is above the chest, that's the time when you should spike the balloon so it falls directly into the chest and you'll have accomplished the task successfully. There are 108 levels and 6 different worlds: Hot, Nes, Vik, Kot, Skal and Eyri. This game is actually really original and fans of physic game fans will be delighted with this new gameplay and simple but beautiful design.
Glovik is the developer of the free and paid version with more then a hundred levels, which a lot of people have already purchased. High playability for this excellent new addition to the list of excellent and entertaining physic games. Definitely, don't miss it.
- AndroidZoom review, March 2012, http://bit.ly/GNfJJZ
Hunt treasure, pop balloons, shoot spikes, ward off baddies and zoom madly around. Addictive fun for all ages with Thor The Hedgehog.
★ Exciting, interactive physics game
★ 108 levels
★ Challenging and rewarding
You are Thor The Hedgehog, a crazily brave snuffling little ball of spikes with a passion for hunting any and every treasure from tasty apples to gems and gold bullion. You need to collect all the treasure and put it in your treasure chest to earn lots of points and get to the next level. Use red helium-filled balloons to transport the treasure to the waiting chest. Careful: one spike and it's over.

I mentioned three pitchers by name in the front page post for Viva El Birdos this morning: John Gast, Nick Additon & Tyler Lyons. Let's take a closer look at these three.
John Gast
Gast was selected in the 6th round of the 2010 draft out of Florida State University. Gast has already had Tommy John surgery (in high school) and his repertoire focuses on a fastball that sits around 90mph and a curveball in the 70s. Gast caught the attention of many with a flashy pick off move showcased in a few Cardinals' spring training games. He pitched a handful of games in Batavia after being drafted. In 2011, he skipped Quad Cities and started in Palm Beach. He'd make the jump to Springfield that year, start at Sprignfield again in 2012 before moving to Memphis to finish the year.
Nick Additon
Additon has been around for a long time after being drafted in 2006 out of high school. He's spent time at every level of the system finally working his way to AAA Memphis for a partial season in 2011. He's got a sub-90mph fastball as a starter and is reliant on command as much as pure stuff.
Tyler Lyons
Arguably one of the most under the radar pitchers, he followed a similar path Gast. Drafted 3 rounds after Gast out of Oklahoma State. His fastball was a tick below Gast's at draft time but has improved since then. Lyons complements it with a changeup and a curveball.
A look at their 2011-2012 stats:
John Gast | Total | 6.68 | 3.24 | 44.1 |
vs. L | 7.28 | 2.95 | 51.0 | |
vs. R | 6.46 | 3.35 | 42.9 | |
Nick Additon | Total | 7.75 | 3.44 | 30.3 |
vs. L | 8.68 | 3.63 | 34.1 | |
vs. R | 7.47 | 3.39 | 29.2 | |
Tyler Lyons | Total | 8.10 | 2.41 | 43.8 |
vs. L | 9.09 | 2.67 | 43.3 | |
vs. R | 7.73 | 2.31 | 43.9 |
The simple take away from this chart is that Tyler Lyons has, to date, out pitched either of his counterparts. He's a better strikeout pitcher who walks fewer batters. In the two prominent areas that pitchers have more direct control over, Lyons is outpacing both Gast and Additon. What's noteworthy is that while his splits are less pronounced than Gast or Additon, he's a better pitcher overall and still comes out ahead when looking at the numbers as splits.
All three of these pitchers are questionable as starters for the long term from a scouting perspective. Their fastballs simply shouldn't install much in the way of confidence about their long term projection. That said, Lyons has outpitched his scouting report for two years now. If the Cardinals are going to look internally for left handed relief options, he may be the best choice. Even over someone like Sam Freeman.
Lyons | vs. L | 9.09 | 2.67 | 43.3 |
Freeman | vs. L | 7.02 | 2.76 | 52.9 |
There's room for someone like Affeldt, Burnett or Gonzalez to be more successful in the majors than either of these players but, statistically, Lyons looks like the best choice as far as internal options.

Daddy's Omelet Recipe
"Omelets are one of my husband's specialties," relates Glenn Powell of Havana, Florida. "His fast-to-fix filling of fresh-tasting vegetables and cheese adds a one-of-a-kind taste the whole family enjoys."
- 1/4 cup each diced green pepper, onion and mushrooms
- 1 to 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 eggs
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- Pinch pepper
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- In an 8-in. skillet, saute green pepper, onion and mushrooms in butter until tender. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- In a small bowl, beat eggs, salt and pepper. Pour into the skillet. Cook over medium heat; as eggs set, lift edges, letting uncooked portion flow underneath. When the eggs are set, spoon vegetables and cheese over one side; fold omelet over filling. Cover and let stand for 1-2 minutes or until cheese is melted. Yield: 1 serving.

I currently have a hr20 and r15. these are both in my living room hooked up to different inputs on my main tv with composite and HDMI cables. I also have component cables running from the hr20 to a distribution box and 3 additional tvs that are used sparingly. I control these with rf remotes. Everything works great.
Will this setup still work once I upgrade to MRV and replace the r15 with hr?.
I really only want 2 boxes.
thanks for any input.

ATLANTA (AP) - Mayor Kasim Reed says details for a proposed stadium deal should be on the desks of Atlanta City Council members by the end of March.
Reed's remarks came during a recent special work session called by the council, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The newspaper reports that the current version of the deal calls for the city issue $200 million in bonds backed by hotel-motel tax revenue to partly fund a $1 billion stadium. The council would have to approve a funding deal.
Reed is in talks with the Falcons and the Georgia World Congress Center because the lease on the Georgia Dome ends in 2017. The team has said it wants a new stadium or it may look to locate outside of Atlanta.

Although they have similar names and operate Web portals with a variety of services, Yahoo Japan Corp. is in many ways a very different company from Yahoo Inc.
Yahoo's profits have been falling because of competition from Google, Facebook and other popular sites. This prompted Yahoo to announce plans to cut 2,000 jobs -- or 14 percent of its workforce -- earlier this month.
At Yahoo Japan, which is not majority-owned by Yahoo, things are quite different. The company has seen both revenue and profit rise for the past five years as it dominates its domestic rivals.
Why are the two so different? Here are some questions and answers about Yahoo Japan.
Why is Yahoo Japan dominant?
It's mainly because no other websites in Japan offer such a complete package of contents under a single portal, said Yosuke Maekawa, a sales manager at ComScore Japan K.K., a company that tracks Internet traffic.
"With such strong content, advertisers can expect synergy in advertising in Yahoo Japan. That is something Yahoo is stronger at than its rivals," he said.
Who is the firm's biggest rival and how do their page views and unique visitors stack up?
Yahoo Japan logged 18.4 billion page views and 66 million unique visitors in February, compared with 13.4 billion page views and 62.7 million unique visitors for top rival Google Japan and its affiliates, according to ComScore Japan. Those numbers effectively make Yahoo Japan and the sites under its banner the most popular in Japan.
Google Japan's figures include YouTube, which is 100 percent owned by Google, and Gmail, its email service.
Yahoo Japan's websites include the Web portal itself and the pages under it, including Yahoo Mail and Yahoo News.
Exact figures for portal traffic are difficult to track precisely because there are different calculation methods. For example, Yahoo Japan says that its average monthly page views come to 51.9 billion and its unique visitors, or what it calls "unique browsers," come to 274 million. These figures are very different from the ones released by ComScore. Google Japan's public relations department declined to disclose any corresponding figures.
What are Yahoo Japan's top services?
According to ComScore's Maekawa and General Manager Daizo Nishitani, Yahoo Auction is Japan's largest auction site in sales, while Yahoo News and Yahoo Chiebukuro (Pearls of Wisdom), a user-generated Q&A site, are the nation's tops in those categories. The same goes for Yahoo Mail.
According to Yahoo Japan's media kit, Yahoo Weather, Yahoo Sports and Yahoo Music are the top sites in those categories. It also says Yahoo Mail has 15 million monthly users.
The media kit has information on only 30 of its 149 services.
How competitive is Yahoo Japan in comparison with Yahoo?
Yahoo Japan is much stronger. While Yahoo is more viewed than Google in Japan, Google's share is generally bigger in America and Europe. In the United States, Google had a 66.4 percent share of the search engine market in February, while Microsoft Corp. had 15.3 percent and Yahoo 13.8 percent, according to ComScore.
Yahoo Japan's share, however, has never been eclipsed by Google Japan since ComScore began compiling statistics in June 2007, ComScore's Maeda said.
Other statistics compilers report similar figures. Yahoo Japan is the No. 1 Web brand in terms of unique visitors, followed by Google Japan, according to the Nielsen's U.S. Digital Consumer Report for the third and fourth quarters of 2011.
The report also said that Google is No. 1 in the U.S., Australia, Brazil and at least six European countries, including Britain and France. Outside Japan, Yahoo is doing its best in the U.S., where it took third place behind Facebook, according to the report. Yahoo ranks sixth in Britain, 10th in France and is outside the top 10 in Germany.
In China and South Korea, domestic search engine companies such as Baidu.com and Naver.com, respectively, have the commanding shares of the market in terms of the number of searches, according to Comscore.
What is the main difference between Yahoo Japan and Yahoo?
In short, Yahoo Japan has evolved independently of Yahoo because Tokyo-based Softbank Corp. has always been its biggest shareholder.
Softbank and Yahoo jointly set up Yahoo Japan in January 1996, with Softbank owning 60 percent and Yahoo 40 percent. Both have since gradually reduced the holdings, leaving Softbank with 35.45 and Yahoo 34.75 percent as of March 2011.
Is a change in the ownership ratios being planned?
Maybe. There have been reports saying that Yahoo is considering selling its stake in Yahoo Japan. But each time such reports come up, Yahoo Japan releases denial statements noting that such measures are always under consideration.
How is Yahoo Japan doing financially?
Its net profit has climbed each year and reached Y92.2 billion, on sales of Y292 billion, in the year ending in March 2011, compared with Y58 billion in net profit and Y213 billion in sales for the year ending in March 2007.
What does Yahoo Japan make most of its money from?
Mainly from advertising, such as banner ads, ads linked to search results and listings of information. Revenue also comes from tenant fees for online shops that sell their wares on Yahoo Auction, Yahoo Shopping and other services.

Wal-Mart supports Foresters' trip to national championship
Huntington, Ind.—Huntington Wal-Mart manager Shelly Lehman presented the Huntington College men's basketball team with a major gift to offset the costs of the Forester's post-season play. The contribution was a part of the "Store of the Community" project, in which Wal-Mart Stores Inc. donated $3,000 to each of the 32 college and university basketball teams competing in the 9th annual NAIA Division II Men's Basketball Championship. "We are very grateful to Wal-Mart for their outstanding support of our team in this year's national tournament," said Huntington College athletic director Lori Culler.
The Huntington College Foresters made an impressive debut in their first national championship. The NAIA Div-II National Tournament was held March 8-14 in Branson, MO. The #2-seed Foresters defeated their first three opponents 99-64, 65-49, 60-47. In the quarterfinal, HC set a defensive record by holding their opponent to the lowest score in tournament history (47 points).
In the semi-final game on March 13, Huntington fell to home-town favorite, College of the Ozarks, in overtime. Throughout regulation play, Ozarks never led the game, but the home-court advantage helped them tie the score 14 seconds before the buzzer. Overtime play was a dog-fight, but Huntington continued to lead until Ozarks drained a 3-pointer with 1 second left in overtime. The final score was 83-81.
While this was a difficult defeat, the 1999-2000 Foresters can look back with pride on the greatest season in 80 years of Huntington College basketball. The team finished the season 34-5, a new school record. They clinched the Mid Central Conference title, and earned several All-Conference and All-American honors.
Huntington College is a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA, Division II). The Foresters field teams in 14 sports for men and women.

Found November 08, 2012 on
Fox Sports Ohio:
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- For each of the last eight years, Ohio State has had the Big Ten's best player.
Now, it's up to Tayler Hill to extend the streak.
Samantha Prahalis won the conference player of the year award a year ago, following a tradition starting with Jessica Davenport (2005-2007) and Jantel Lavender (2008-11).
Hill, who led the Big Ten in scoring last year at 20.7 points a game, says she's never been on an Ohio State team that was closer heading into a season.
"It's not a fake thing," she said. "We really get along, we really care about each other, on and off the floor. It's probably my first year I can say that about everybody on the team."
Hill, defensive whiz Amber Stokes and post Ashley Adams provide a solid core for coach Jim Foster's Buckeyes, who open the season on Friday night on the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown in Charleston, S.C., against Notre Dame.
Stokes, the conference's defensive player of the year, also has marveled at how the Buckeyes have come together.
"The ball's moving, people are getting a lot of good looks, their shots are looking good," she said. "It's there. We've got it."
Prahalis graduated to the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury, taking with her a flamboyant but often erratic game. She could inspire the team with a sensational behind-the-back pass for a bucket in transition, then hurt the Buckeyes by getting into a funk after an early foul and squabbling with the officials.
The Buckeyes also must do without forward Kalpana Beach, who started 30 times last year. She tore the ACL in her right knee in October and will miss the season.
"It'll be a little bit different team," said Foster, who has won at least 20 games in each of the last 10 seasons at Ohio State while lifting his career record to 765-294 (.722) heading into his 35th season as a college head coach. "Defensively I think we're going to be much improved. I just think we got a got great foundation. Collectively, we're better defensively."
It all starts with Hill, an athletic guard who can bring the ball up, lead the fast break, rebound, post low, shoot the 3 or force a turnover.
"I think Tayler's going to be a first-round (WNBA) pick," Foster said.
She averaged 20.4 points a game last season -- a remarkable 10-points a game improvement over her sophomore season.
Hill is humbled to be a part of the opener. Her mother served in the Navy in the Philippines, but Hill has never seen a warship.
"It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience, a privilege," she said. "Out of all the Division I schools, it's the first year for women's basketball to be a part of this, and they picked us to play."
Foster, a Vietnam veteran, and his club will face an elite team in Notre Dame at the Carrier Classic. The Irish have lost in the national championship game each of the past two seasons. Irish coach Muffet McGraw is a former assistant under Foster at her alma mater, Saint Joseph's.
Foster's team offers him a lot of options at nearly every position.
Stokes and Hill might be the best defensive combination in the country, Adams blocked 96 shots -- three per game -- a year ago, and almost everybody else likes to run and play sticky defense.
Darryce Moore, Raven Ferguson, Martina Ellerbe, Emilee Harmon and Maleeka Kynard were the top subs a year ago and likely to see substantial playing time.
In addition, Foster brought in two-time Ohio Ms. Basketball Ameryst Alston, 6-foot-6 center Lisa Blair and Caite Craft in a glittering recruiting class. Craft is the younger sister of Buckeyes men's basketball standout Aaron Craft. The men are also playing in the Carrier Classic, taking on Marquette in the nightcap on the windy deck of the Yorktown.
Expectations are high.
"It started with the coaches. They came in with a different mindset. If you weren't ready to play, they were kicking us out (of practice)," Hill said. "There was no leeway. And that set the table for us."
Foster has been around a lot of promising teams, also at Vanderbilt, and now for 11 seasons with the Buckeyes. With one offensive star, several defensive standouts and a roster full of willing participants, he's happy with the hand he's been dealt.
"I always say, Give me two weeks and I'll have a feel for where we are,'" he said.
Then, after hesitating and carefully parsing his words, he added, "I like this group."
