I don't like my crockpot
This is the third time I tried cooking meat in it and I'm not really satisfied. This time it was a pot roast. I seared it and sauteed veggies and added liquid. After about 11 hours it softened and had decent flavor but it would have come out much better braised in the oven. Am I doing something wrong? It wasn't that tender and was slightly dry.
I think you may have overcooked the meat. Even 11 hours on low is too long. It could also be the cut of meat, what was the "pot roast" labeled for the actual cut? Round, shoulder, rump?? I prefer a chuck roast for pot roast. Sometimes markets label rump roast for pot roast but it will be a drier, tougher cut. Your technique to sear and add veggies/liquid is correct. What crockpot brand are you using?
re: mrsgreer
I never thought about overcooking, but that's a possibility. It was a chuck roast. But I also had no luck with brisket a few months ago. I ended up finishing it in the oven and it was great. It's a West Bend versatility crockpot. The glass lid just sort of sits on top, maybe they make different ones that have better seals? I like the idea of a crockpot but not the finished product.
i would say too long as well - I don' use mine as much as I would like but these work great for me:
new england boiled dinner
15 bean soup (fantastic in a crock pot - I will usually add some smoky sausage or leftover ham, pork)
pulled pork roast
this is a really neat blog, she used a crockpot everyday of the year:
I'm in the middle of a 3 rm renovation - I should really look closer at her blog now.
Have fun.
re: lexpatti
How do you do a New England boiled dinner in a crockpot?
I agree about overcooking. Does your crockpot have a timer so it'll turn off automatically? Mine turns to warm but it's still warm enough to keep cooking so I have to adjust the time. Also, did you cut the liquid? I do it by half almost. That said, I like my crockpot because I can come home to a hot meal but it isn't as good a braising in the oven or on the stove. I don't find it dry, though. I just don't find the liquid as concentrated with flavor. Another thing I've done lately is added a towel under the lid. The towel absorbs some of the evaporating water so the liquid gets slightly thicker. It's closer to oven braising, though takes longer. Some crockpots run hot where even the warm temperature can overcook the dish in a short time.
At 11 hours it was overcooked indeed but I have a slightly different take; the oven does create better meals. Crock pots are good for weeknight meals but I wouldn't ever use it for dinner with guests for instance.
The crock pot is merely convenience, not culinary superiority.
re: Fuller
I agree. You can't regulate temperature in a crockpot. Plus, I don't think it's any more convenient. I can brown meat in my stockpot or dutch oven and put that straight into the oven. If I used a crockpot, that would just be one more dish to wash.
If I want a weeknight braise, I'm going to cook it a day or two before, strain, and cool it in the braising liquid. I'll then defat, reduce, and reheat the night I want it. It's arguably better that way anyway.
re: jeremyn
"You can't regulate temperature in a crockpot."
You can regulate temperature, but it's NOT AT ALL convenient. I do low temperature baking in a crockpot and the temperature has remain fairly steady in some of my recipes. I put a small oven thermometer inside and manually regulate the heat when baking. An instant read thermometer can tell you if the food is done.
re: icecone
I own a Hamilton Beach crock pot that comes with its own meat thermometer. You can program your crock pot to switch to low once it reaches a certain desired internal meat temperature. Of course, this isn't regulating heat in a crock pot, just enabling you to measure it.
Also to the OP, when it comes to overcooking, the size of your slow cooker matters. If the crock is not filled, it will overcook. To prevent overcooking, the crock should be filled half-full to no more than one inch from the rim.
re: The Dairy Queen
TDQ, I've been wondering about those crockpots with temperature probes. Can you use it for baking? For example, if bread is done when it has an internal temperature of, say, 200 degrees F, can you set the probe for that and have it turn off when the bread is ready?
One problem is that the probe could interfere with the rising of the bread and could deflate bread before it sets under heat.
Sadly, even if that did work, it wouldn't save me any time or much effort. I am experimenting with baking at temperatures under 250 degrees F to reduce the number of toxic compounds that form at high temperatures. The HB temperature probe would not keep the crock temperature under 250.
re: icecone
Interesting. I've never tried it for baking, and there's nothing in the product guide that says what the temperature of the crock is at low and at high. There is a recipe on their site for a chocolate cake, but it doesn't use the probe... http://www.hamiltonbeach.com/recipes/...
I personally haven't had great luck baking cakes in a crock pot. My results have been very uneven. Have you had much success?
re: The Dairy Queen
Yes, I bake all the time in my crocks (large and small), but it's work.. I put an oven thermometer in my 5.5-quart and use an instant thermometer with my 1.5-quart. The crock temps must not go too high, so I watch them every 15 minutes or so.
I'm not sure if an oven would be better. 250 degrees is below the range that most ovens are expected to operate with accuracy. Plus, home ovens are considered "accurate" if they are off by 50 degrees either way,which is too much leeway for my purposes.
If that temp probe on the HB worked for baking, it would make life easier for me. I've seen a picture of one and it's large enough to interfere with the baking.
re: icecone
Do you have a favorite baking recipe to recommend? I'm curious enough I'd be willing to try it out for you and report back. Probably not until June, though, if you can wait that long. I'm crazy busy until then.
re: The Dairy Queen
It's too soon to have a favorite. I experiment across 3 cooking paradigms: slow baking, steaming and dehydration - all are forms of low temperature baking. I toss many recipes because they don't work. The ones that do work go up on my blog.
If you just want to bake, your slow cooker probably goes higher than 250 degrees (for baking only). Try a regular recipe that has a low oven temperature - around 325 degrees - and bake smaller quantities.
re: icecone
Oh, I'm not interested enough to pick random recipes and experiment, though I was willing to test a fav recipes of yours "for the sake of science." :) in order to let you know how it works out with the Hamilton Beach probe.
I've tried, several times, a couple of crock pot baking recipes that were supposedly well-tested that were really a waste of time and good, organic eggs.
I'm sure it's just me, or just my crock pots, but, meh, I don't have the patience or a strong-enough desire, I guess.
re: The Dairy Queen
I know all about how much patience you need to bake in a crockpot, believe me. One day, I might be able to afford an oven with a super-accurate thermostat. I wouldn't be doing it except to gain an understanding of low temp baking.
I also think you over cooked the meat; I cook my roast between 6-8 hours. I disagree that the crock pot is inferior to the oven. If you know what you're doing, the crock pot is as good as an oven (with the exception of the ability to brown) IMO
re: Cherylptw
#1 there are crock pots that allow you to brown on the stove and transfer to the heating element on the crock pot.
#2 the crock pot (AKA slow cooker) has traditionally been used to cook things slowly over a period of hours (set it in the morning and have it for dinner). That is convenience and does not require training and/or special knowledge to operate it. You shouldn't have to "know what you're doing" to operate a crock pot.
re: Fuller
oh, I'm with cheryl - everything has it's advantages (even when taste is your objective). I'm one who really doesn't know the crockpot as I wish I did - but I know many that do know how to really do it right. It's not just about walking in a having dinner ready while you've been gone all day.
the same could be said for a microwave, I only use it to defrost and reheat but there are some who really "know how to use a microwave".
re: lexpatti
Tell me one thing a crock pot can do better than an oven or a stove aside from the obvious like storing it in a cabinet or portability - I'm talking culinary advantages. Likewise a microwave.
A crock pot is simply a cheap, self-contained little stove/oven. It stays at a low temperature to keep things a little safer, cooks things slowly over the period of hours, and thus is a tool for convenience.
Some people may use them as a gift from heaven but if I went over to someone's house for a weekend dinner and I saw the main dish in a crock pot, I would immediately realize that they aren't great cooks. That's fine, everyone has their strenghts, but I can't say that is has any advantages culinarily speaking.
re: Fuller
Make your chilli at night and put it in the fridge in the crock pot. In the morning plug in the pot and let it cook all day. Makes chilli much better and it's so nice to come home to dinner smells in the house. Mmmmm
re: julesincoq
There's no culinary advantage of cooking chili in a crock pot versus the oven or the stove top. The same results can be achieved and in many cases better results when not using the crock pot.
One could argue that the fact that the chili sits in the fridge overnight for the flavors to mingle is the reason it tastes better... not the cooking vessel.
re: Fuller
Fuller -- I've had similar discussions on this site before. None have led anywhere.
re: jeremyn
Point taken - thanks. ;-)
re: Fuller
Well, it's a gift from heaven for anyone who has a family on the go, gets home late and wants a hot dinner--I think in that sense, that meal is far superior to anything else I can make that quickly. But, in the sense of making the best food possible w/out constraints, I agree. I couldn't live w/out my crockpot in the winter but for the purpose it serves. So, like a stand mixer, rice cooker, immersion blender, food processor, you can cook just as well w/out any of that but they are helpful for situations.
Most people incorrectly use crockpots by throwing all ingredients in and turning it. That never makes a good meal, no matter what cooking method. So, I think you do need to know what you're doing to get a decent meal out of a crockpot--and I don't think the 365 day blogger does. Overall, I prefer to use the stove/oven and think braising, even making chicken stock, is better that way. But, I still love it for what it is.
re: chowser
I agree completely. It's entirely convenient and when used for that purpose, it's a fine tool. I have one at home and I use it myself when convenience is desired... I don't use it often but then again I don't have kids (I think) so the aspect of time isn't as important to me as it might be to others. I guess the point I have to make is that it isn't knowing how to use a crockpot, it's knowing how to cook in general. It's not a miracle machine and some people treat it as such.
re: Fuller
My kids are home from school by 4. I'm home from work by 6:30. If there is something hot, ready and nutritious they can eat it before I get home (gasp!! you don't eat all together every night??? Uh no. they are hungry and want to eat not wait). I love my crock pot for that reason alone.
You are right about the chilli. Day old chilli is always better so that is why I always make it a day ahead. Everything I could do in the crock could be done on the stove...but I'd have to be there and I'm not.
Sigh... I wish I could be at home to make non crock pot meals!! That's what I love about weekends!
re: julesincoq
I'm with ya! I have no argument against the convenience factor.
I just think that when someone who is accustomed to braising in the oven switches to a crock pot and gets inferior results (let's ignore the fact it was in there 11 hours) they should not be too surprised. Like I mentioned before convenience, not culinary superiority.
re: Fuller
Fuller, I think you've gotten off on your own lil tangent - I'm not sure anyone mentioned that crockpots had any "culinary superiority" but just that knowing how to use one could yield better results!!!! tooo funny!
re: Fuller
The thing a crockpot can do better than anything but a maid is have dinner ready when you walk in the door. Try your crockpot again with beef stew, beef curry, lamb curry, chicken curry, African chicken, beef burgundy, chili, or pulled barbecue. And, Fuller, that crockpot cook you are judging rather harshly may have spent the day at the office, in court, in surgery, or at the pediatrician's with a sick baby. How nice that the family gets a hot meal nonetheless.
re: Fuller
Growing up we always used our crock pot for chinese bean soups - red bean soup, green bean soup, peanut soup, congee. I think it's probably perfect for those items and does do an arguably better job than cooking on the stove. Those are all dishes that involve tossing a couple ingredients in a pot, adding water, and cooking for a long time without burning.
It's also really good for making french onion soup because it frees up a burner and you don't need to watch it closely. I've served that to friends and we're fairly sophisticated in our cooking at dinner parties.
Based on recommendations from chowhounds (can't remember who, exactly, sorry), lately I've tried several of the crock pot recipes from Rick Bayless' book "Mexican Every Day" and have been very pleased. One thing that surprised me is that most of his crock pot recipes call for six hours on high. He says that the food will keep for another 4 hours on "warm" if your crockpot has that setting. Prior to that, I was cooking a lot of my recipes for 10 hour on low. I'm not going to do that any more.
I also have had great luck with this beef daube recipe from Cooking Light http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/rec... and this char siu pork recipe from Cooking Light http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/rec...
Of course, these aren't the world's most authentic recipes, but they are satisfying and good for a family on the go.
Crock pots & slow cookers are nice for convenience. You can set things up and let them go. They should, indeed, be braisers. They use low controlled heat so they should be great. Only one problem... they don't put out as good a product as cooking them in your dutch oven in the oven. It's good but different. You have to make a decision as to whether the difference is worth the convenience. I understand that the only thing they do as well is making a stock but I haven't tried that one myself.
They cook beans well but they are whole and don't fall apart. Unfortunately, I'm used to beans breaking down some... ok, a lot!.
Bottom line. I have not found crock pot cooking as good as a slow braise.
Here are some suggestions to make it a little better.
When braising, the cookbooks usually tell you to turn the meat over a few times during braising because the liquid is only up half way or so. I suspect that might make the pot roast in the crock pot a little better. Also, the better crock pots nowadays have a warm feature that after a set period of time goes to warm feature to stop the cooking. Also good crock pots have a glass lid but most of the old cheap ones have a plastic lid that doesn't keep the liquid from evaporating.
Aimee, you don't say how much liquid was added, but you do need to add quite a bit.
"it softened and had decent flavor" not sure what else you were expecting the crockpot to do here. The people I've worked with that want my recipes, seem to be so easy on seasonings. For a roast I would add 2 nice size onions, lots of broth ( not to cover it mind you), and lots of fresh garlic. Then of course lots of seasonings for whatever recipe I was wanting to make.
I love pork butt done in the crockpot, but you do need broth. I always use good chicken stock or beef stock, and I use salt. I cover the entire top of my pot with seasonings when I put a pork butt into it. That may sound really excessive, but for me it works. I add a lot of onions. You can saute them first to get that wonderful camalization flavor and that helps tremendously. Onions bring not only flavor but moisture to the dish. I add the onions in the beginning and almost towards the end of the cooking time.
I have found the Crock Pot to be fun to experiment with. I bought it when a friend recently told me that she had done her pulled pork by placing a pork shoulder (and nothing else) in her slow cooker and cooking it for 24 hours on low.
Last week I d id a pair of large lamb shanks in sous vide style by seasoning them with s-p, garlic and rosemary, sealing them in my foodsaver, and then cooking them on high for four hours. By the end of 4 hours the temperature had reached 200 deg. They came out nice and tender without having all the falvor sucked out of them. At the end I crispened them up in a 475 oven.
In the process I was monitoring the temperature every half hour, and I contacted the Crock Pot company by email to find out what the baseline tem of low and high settings was. This was the response I received:
"Thank you for contacting Crock-Pot, a brand of Jarden Consumer Solutions.
Both the Low & High settings cook at 215 degrees F., but they cycle differently. Therefore, the High setting will still cook the food in a shorter period of time than the Low setting will. Please remember that these are all approximate temperatures and they can vary depending on what you are cooking. It can also boil on High and Low. We do recommend that you always fill your slow cooker at least 1/2 - 3/4 of the way full with liquid or sauce, and you may also have to adjust your cook times accordingly. This will prevent the food from drying out and burning."
re: junescook
My crockpot gets way too hot. It sterilizes everything I put in it. Even on "keep warm" everything ends up in a hard boil after an hour or two. Pot roast always turms out tough and chewy. I understand the temperature is set this way for food safety. I think its more energy efficient than using my electric oven so I wish I could regulate the temperature better.
re: junescook
That response from the company is a little bogus. What do they mean by "cook at 215 degrees F?" I hope they realize that is above the boiling point at sea level. Furthermore, all crockpots regulate is energy/power output, not temperature. Thus, there is no way they could reasonably make the 215 degree claim, even if the lid provided a pressure seal. The temperature depends on the amount of food in the crockpot, the seal, the external temperature, etc.
Perhaps they just mean "both the low and high setting will eventually end up boiling your food." I agree with Rhee above: the crockpots I've used have all been way too hot.
re: jeremyn
According to the ATK people, the low and high settings of a crockpot/slow cooker refer to how fast the SAME temperature is reached. Low is slowly, high is faster.
I never used a slow cooker until I bought one last year. I love placing "tougher" meat, beans, or both in it in the morning and coming home to a meal.
I use it for all offals (so far) and many roasts including corn beef recently. I liked how the corn beef turned out so I may actually buy it more than just for St. Patrick day. ;)
re: Crockett67
I have two Crockpot brand slow cookers--an old-fashioned harvest green one I purchased in the 1980's, and this new modern larger one I purchased last year. I was hoping the larger one would accommodate larger quantities, particularly roasts, but I find it cooks a lot faster than my old one, so leaving it all day while I'm at work is counterproductive because I get home and everything is boiled to hell. I still use the smaller one when I want to leave it during the workday.
re: noodlepoodle
I don't have a link handy anymore, I've read that "new" crockpots cook at a higher temperature than "old" crockpots. I think it is because they were concerned about food safety issues when they learned a number of people (apparently) put frozen chicken in their crockpots and let it cook all day. So, they changed the heating mechanism. :( .
re: noodlepoodle
If you're at all handy electrically and IF your slow cooker is a basic model without any fancy electronic controls, you could build an external temperature control for your cooker. It's nothing more than a light dimmer. Then you could dial down the heat as desired.
The brand of slow cooker makes a HUGE difference. The CrockPot brand cooks much too hot. America's Test Kitchen and Consumer reports both did tests. All Clad and HamBeach with temp probe were in the top recommended brands. I have the Ham Beach and I love it. Everything has turned out great. Also, recipes make a difference. The Slow Cooker Gourmet/ Alley and ATK's Family Cookbook have excellent recipes. You really don't need all that much liquid.
re: The 1st and only KSyrahSyrah
I know I know, I'm responding to a 3 year old post. Sigh. Can't help myself. Anyway, I don't care if ATK likes the All Clad one best I'm not paying 250 dollars for a slow cooker. Especially not when it has a nonstick coated insert.
So, by reading this (although it is from 2010), there isn't such a crockpot that I can regulate the temperature. I have been researching, google - ing, and asking questions, and have yet to get a good answer, or find a CP that looks like it does that. The closest I have come is the HB probe, and even wondered if I can use it while making a stew. Any thoughts, suggestions. I want to buy a crockpot...a good one.
re: lululovesu
Try looking on the Cookware board if after reading here about the limitations of this style of cooking, you are still intent on getting a crockpot/slow cooker. You'll find more detailed info on the features of different models on that board.
re: lululovesu
The closest I have come is the HB probe, and even wondered if I can use it while making a stew. Any thoughts, suggestions. I want to buy a crockpot...a good one.
The RP units are as close as you are going to get to a fully variable rheostat fully adjustable based unit.
Cps built in the 70's, 80's and early 90's used a rheostat knob that actually controlled power to the resistance coil and actually gave you a low, medium and high tmperature. Each of which could be measured.
Now, due to food safety and fuzzy-logic CP's, all the temp setting does is change the time by which the crock pot ramps up to and reaches its final heating temp and cooking temp, which is above 212F with the lid on.
Even on low, my modern crock pots will scorch the bottom of my chili if kept on. Thus it is a giant battle to turn on and off to make sure things are warm but not burned. Yes--this is on low.
You can thank the food police.
Old crockpots are invaluable. New ones for me --not so much.
And I own several in many sizes.
re: lululovesu
I'm not sure what your requirements or expectations are but I like my Hamilton Beach 3 in 1 because it has 2, 4 and 6 qt crocks although I only use it when I'm going to be home because it's completely manual. I have two other programmable Rival Crock Pots that I use when I need the auto warm feature and am making something that fits in the 6 qt crock. At once point I used them for overnight stock but I've since switch to a 12 qt stockpot instead.

i bought a two copies of the bundle so that i would have an extra controller and so far the game is pretty tough, but playable. the tag on the shelf was the original price at the target i went to, but scanned the discounted price at register. the controller let's you flip the keys around so you can set it up easily to play doubles or left-handed, which was a nice little addition. 5-key mode seemed alot harder then the 7-key mode to me as well.
thanks op!
What I want to know, where in the world are you all putting the controller?
I tried a piano stand but it was too big. It doesn't work at all on the floor. I have been playing in my lap but I feel that it wobbles around and I feel the lack of response.
I just don't see where the placement of this controller fits in with a home theatre type room. I also don't have an arcade stick because I don't know WHERE TO PUT IT.
Do you all have some sort of special way of placing the keyboard?
Also, I'll add 5 key is just not natural to me, I think it's because I'm used to piano and octaves, so the 7 key mode makes more sense to me. I definitely am better at the more keyboard like songs, the hip hop ones where it's more scrtatching and little key presses every now and then I am HORRIBLE at
Favorite songs so far: 511, Toxic

Why Did The Game End:
A low-scoring affair that head coach Mike Brown most likely enjoyed other than the outcome. I stated in the preview for this game that the Cleveland Cavaliers would have to be an offensive threat and outscore the Charlotte Bobcats in the fourth quarter. They did neither, as Kyrie Irving finished with 18 points on 5-of-16 shooting from the field and the Bobcats outscored Cleveland by seven in the final frame. The turning point came in the fourth quarter, when the Cavaliers didn't call a timeout of their own until they were down by nine points. This was Charlotte's biggest lead of the game, as the Bobcats ran away with the game by opening the fourth quarter on a 24-14 run. The Bobcats finished off the Cavaliers by a final score of 86-80.
Where The Outcome Stood Out:
The fourth quarter, as I stated above. And from beyond the arc. The combination of these two things eventually doomed the Cavaliers. The Bobcats outshot Cleveland from three in the final 12 minutes, 50 percent to 33 percent. This allowed Charlotte to build up a near double-digit lead by the halfway mark of the final quarter. Cleveland got back its defensive mojo through the first three quarters, holding the Bobcats to 57 points, but lost its edge on the perimeter near the end. Doubling up on players from outside and leaving guys open down low prevented the Cavaliers from mounting a comeback.
Who Did What:
Kyrie (Somewhat) Bests Kemba
Kyrie Irving — 18 points, 10 assists, six turnovers and 5-of-16 shooting from the field, 7-of-7 shooting from the free throw line and 1-of-5 shooting from three in 38 minutes
Kemba Walker — 12 points, seven assists, four turnovers, and 4-of-19 shooting from the field, 3-of-5 shooting from the line and 1-of-5 shooting from three in 36 minutes
Offensive Pains Persist From Three
Cavaliers — 4-of-15 (26.7 percent) shooting from three
Bobcats — 8-of-20 (40.0 percent) shooting from three
Bench Awakening?
Alonzo Gee, Anthony Bennett, Tyler Zeller and Jarrett Jack — 20 points, six assists, 11 rebounds, four steals and three blocks, while shooting 45 percent from the field in 62 combined minutes
Anthony Tolliver, Cody Zeller, Ramon Sessions and Jeff Taylor — 37 points, 11 assists, 12 rebounds, three steals and one block, while shooting 53.8 percent from the field in 81 combined minutes
When Did The Critical Turning Point Occur:
As soon as the Cavaliers started off the fourth quarter with a shot clock violation. They never recovered from that. Once the Bobcats got things rolling on offense in the second half, the Cavaliers were doomed without their stars keeping up with theirs from a shooting standpoint. The offensive has been stagnant, and this game is further proof of the Cavaliers struggles thus far.
What's Up Next:
The Cavaliers will be riding a three-game into the nation's capital with no rest for a Saturday matchup with the Washington Wizards (2-6). This will be the first of two matchups for the Cavaliers with the Wiz over the next five days, as Washington will be making the trip to Cleveland for the second contest. It is also the first game between these two teams and was looked as one of the most intriguing matchups of the 2013-14 season. These next two games present the perfect opportunity for the Wine & Gold to get back on track.

Guise, I told you I ship my human and Aodhan super hard. I wasn't kidding. I don't care if he digs everyone's character in G3—I play my character and I am self-absorbed like that. And you can't tell me otherwise. So suck it.
I drew another photo where he helps her out, but this came out 10684775938.67* times better.
I like this so much I might—gasp—COLOR IT.

Deployed the Azure service on dev fabric
Copied the symbol files in the same folder where the dll exists at \Users\...\AppData\Local\dftmp\s0\deployment(N)\res\...\AspNetTemp\aspNetTemp\...
Opened the coverage tab in testrunconfig and added the dll from \Users\...\AppData\Local\dftmp\s0\deployment(N)\res\...\AspNetTemp\aspNetTemp\...
Got an error, Error VSP1024: Unable to open file \Users\...\AppData\Local\dftmp\s0\deployment(N)\res\...\AspNetTemp\aspNetTemp\...' for writing
Instrumented the dlls
Got an error, Error VSP1018: VSInstr does not support processing binaries that are already instrumented
Open command prompt in privileged mode.
Change directory to \Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Team Tools\Performance Tools\x64
Instrument your dlls for the Azure service by running the command vsinstr /coverage "…\abc.dll"
Start coverage monitor by running the command vsperfcmd /start:coverage /output:"Test.coverage"
Deploy the instrumented Azure service on dev fabric.
Go to Programs->Windows Azure SDK v1.2->Windows Azure SDK Command Prompt
Type csrun /devfabric:start
Type csrun /devstore:start
Type csrun /run:"...\abc.csx";"...\ServiceConfiguration.cscfg"
Run your tests pointing the instrumented Azure service deployed on dev fabric.
Stop the coverage monitor by running the command vsperfcmd /shutdown
If you see the error Waiting for the process …\WaWebHost.exe to shutdown, shutdown the dev fabric by using the command /devfabric:shutdown
Open the file Test.coverage to find your code coverage results.
Very helpful article! I have a basic question here, when you say "run your tests pointing to instrumented Azure service deployed on dev fabric", does it mean that reference the instrumented dlls in the tests etc? In my case, I have a WCF service running as a webrole in dev fabric. I am POSTing data to my WCF service using its localhost address as POST url...it works fine, but I don't get any code coverage on this. Am I doing something wrong, should I reference its dll etc?
Note: I think my setup is fine as I do get some basic code coverage numbers (on standard actions like run etc).
You don't need to reference the dll's. If you are not getting the code coverage, the profilemonitor might not be running of the dll's deployed on dev fabric might not be instrumented.
Do you see an error that profile monitor does not appear to be running when you run the command "vsperfcmd /shutdown"
You mentioned that you are getting basic code coverage on standart actions. So you should make sure that your tests are poiting to the right endpoint where the instrumented dll's are deployed. You can even try sending request to your dev fabric endpoint using fiddler, etc and see if you get code coverage numbers.
Yes, I am getting basic code coverage numbers on standard events (e.g. OnStart) etc. Also, I can successfully send request (HTTP POST) to my dev fabric endpoint using fiddler but I don't get any coverage on this. Under IIS, I see different port number than dev fabric for my deployed Azure service and I tried sending request to that IIS endpoint as well, it works but still no coverage on my POST request. Do I need to start/stop IIS (w3svc or/and w3wp) as well to in addition to dev fabric to catch my HTTP POST request's coverage?
I think I have found the issue. I need to provide extra parameters "/cs /user:Everyone" with the vsperfcmd command. The "/cs" for cross-session profiling (on Vista and above, w3wp runs in a different session than the interactive session) and "/user:Everyone" to allow processes running as other users (e.g. NETWORK SERVICE) to connect to the monitor to send data
Some troubleshooting points:
If the 64 bit version of vsperfcmd is not used, you will see this error in the eventlog while deploying the instrumented build on Dev Fabric:
Event 1425, VSPERF - Unable to connect to monitor. Make sure the monitor is started and in the correct mode.
If the vsperfcmd coverage monitor is not running, you will see this error in the eventlog while deploying the instrumented build on Dev Fabric:
Event 1306, VSPERF - Profile Monitor does not appear to be running.

Rookie Defensive Lineman Josh Boyd of the Green Bay Packers is surely being patient waiting for his turn to contribute should one of his line mates fall by the wayside.
At 6-3 and 310 pounds, Boyd is built for the rigors of defensive line play. Groomed to play both inside and outside on the D-line, but probably will end up eventually inside at DT.
Inactive for all but two games and totaling just 10 defensive snaps (plus three on special teams) thus far this season, he is yet another in a long line of players the Packers always seem to have in the stables, just waiting for their opportunity to get on the field and help their team.
He is described as a physical, hardnosed, blue collar guy with an explosive first step. Sounds like he should right fit in.
With everyone healthy and playing well in front of him, he is listed 8 out of 8 on the DL depth chart, and Jerel Worthy hopeful to be back off the PUP list soon, Boyd's wait seems as though it will have to be a while longer.
He was chosen in the fifth round of the 2013 NFL Draft (167th pick overall) as the Packers lone compensatory pick.
As a senior at Mississippi State, Boyd started all 13 games (41 overall) at defensive tackle. A teammate of Packers offensive lineman Derek Sherrod for two seasons while at MSU; he also played against the likes of fellow rookie, Packers running back Eddie Lacy.
With only Datone Jones, Mike Daniels, Boyd and Worthy being the only returning players on the DL for next season as things stand today, so the role Boyd is playing now – whether he steps on the field or not this season – is an important one in planning for next year.
Whether he is called upon this year or not, with free agency about ready to gut the DL (Raji, Jolly, Pickett, Wilson, Neal), having a big, young strapping defensive tackle in the shadows, waiting his turn, training, learning, watching, is a roster spot well worth occupying.

hi all
is it possible to mod an application?
i don't know if you remember "send file" it's an application to send files, and it's also possible listen the audio files.
i want to change only one thing.. the root
the application shows all the files that are in ~/Media/Documents
i want to change it , to show all the files content in /private/var/root/Downloads
the root is write in a crypted file called "sendfile" without any extension. i've opened it with a text editor, and i've changed the root, but after, when i put the new file into my ipod ... the application doesn't work anymore
so.. there is a way to change the root or to decrypt the file? thank you
(sorry for my bad english, i'm italian and i hope you can understand me the same)

Also, the file is not encrypted, that is the actual application code that is executed when you run the program - it is the equivalent of a Windows .exe file.
You can't (easily) change the program code after it is compiled.
i know this thanks stlcaddie
by the way i've changed this file

but if i put the edited file into my ipod, the application doen't work anymore
oh stlcaddie, maybe do you mean that there is a new version of sendfile that can ceck the dowloads folder too?? I've installed sendfile from the installer and it's not possible to change the root
If you meant that there is a new version ( not on the installer ) that already do this, please confirm me that and forgive me

5 episodes ahead and it still doesn't make sense, give up. #koreandramawisdom
I don't get this drama. The Arang was a ghost that was dead and now she is alive and everyone can see her.It hasn't changed her demeanor and she is still fighting and arguing with everyone. She is not endearing at all. I give up on this one. Who can recommend another drama.
Wait…I just have to skip to the last episode, just because.

The secretary should work with Congress to ensure that the department's programs and reimbursement policies are outcomes-based, reflecting best available evidence of value and creating incentives for adoption of best practices, including integration of care, in order to improve quality and efficiency.
The department should collaborate with state and local public health agencies and community-based organizations, as both sources and users of practical program guidance.
The department should provide authoritative, plain-language, and current evidence-based information to the public regarding prevention and treatment options.
To assess the health of the American people and overall health system performance accurately, the department needs current data from the nation's health system. To facilitate collection of these data, the department should actively promote the universal adoption of electronic information capabilities—including health information exchange and electronic medical, personal health records—for administrative and clinical purposes.
Medicare and Medicaid exert powerful influence on the U.S. health care system beyond the impact of the large dollars they expend. Because their rules and coverage decisions often are adopted by private payers, these two public programs—although limited to covering specific population groups—affect the entire health care system and all Americans. Also, some of their reimbursement strategies—especially those supporting traditional fee-for-service care—have inadvertently contributed to the rapid growth in health care costs.

Best condo we stayed in yet. Stayed 1 month. It was very clean, quiet, well maintained and equipped. The pool was perfect we used it a every day. We did not mind the walk to the beach it was a daily routine for us for we like to walk a lot. The barbecue was awesome was used regularly. Manager Antonio and Victor were very helpful. We did not feel insecure on the compound or off it, people were very helpful and friendly. The information that Alan provided was very helpful, would truly love to go back some other time.

What I thought was lame about this week:
1. Chef Daniel Boulud or Guest Blogger Andrea Strong--whose comments would you rather hear on the Judges' Table? Before the Internet, you could only get reviews from critics in papers, Zagat, and magazines. Now, everywhere you turn, people can post their opinions. And because the Internet is mostly anonymous, you don't know if the person commenting is the chef, the recently fired sous-chef, Frank Bruni, or someone that orders their steak extra well done with a side of ketchup. But on the Internet, it doesn't matter because all opinions are equal. The World Wide Web is 2007's version of the water cooler. And in the blogging world, snarkiness rules. But let's face it--without bloggers the reality genre might not be as popular. (The point that I'm writing this IN a blog is not lost on me.) So a blogger's opinion on this show certainly has its place. Don't believe me? Restaurantgirl.com was just named the food critic for the New York Daily News. So I thought a blogger as a secret guest judge was an interesting twist--I just thought it should have been done earlier in the contest, or on the Web site, but not when you have one of the sickest chefs in the culinary world there to talk about the food.
2. Madonna's brother. A little confused about him. Was he using the cameo as an audition to be a judge next season?
3. Howie's Risotto. He says he's been making it that way for 10 to 12 years. That sounds more like a prison sentence than an endorsement. I didn't taste it, so I can't say for sure, but cream in risotto is like adding cream to a beurre blanc. (To quote Bourdain, "There is no, I repeat, no, cream in a real beurre blanc.... You see any mention of cream in there? No...you put cream in there, it ain't a beurre blanc." Same goes for risotto.

Remarks Prepared for Delivery by Attorney General Michael B. Mukasey at the 2008 Annual Meeting of the Federalist Society
WASHINGTON , Nov. 20 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following are the remarks prepared for delivery by Attorney General Michael B. Mukasey at the 2008 Annual Meeting of the Federalist Society: Thank you for that introduction and for the...
The President also has nominated - and the Senate has confirmed - many other well-qualified judges throughout the Federal courts. Unfortunately, still other good and well-qualified people were denied the same opportunity. We have seen the nominations of skilled, experienced, and well-respected candidates delayed or frustrated through procedural tactics. Quite frequently, it has been hard for these nominees to receive a vote in the Senate or even a hearing before the Judiciary Committee. For those who never received a vote, or even a hearing, I offer my profound regret -- you deserved better.
Tonight, however, we should take note of our successes. Indeed, this Administration's judicial legacy includes 61 judges appointed to the courts of appeals and 261 judges appointed to the district courts. The President and the members of his Administration will leave office in January, but these good judges will remain in place, many for decades to come.
The Federalist Society should be proud of the role it played in supporting these judges, but it also should be proud of the basis on which it did so. As the members of this Society recognize, the core meaning of judicial independence is independence from the political pressures and fashions of the moment. Otherwise, judges become simply politicians who are independent only in the sense that they have life tenure and so are not subject to the discipline of the political process -- namely, elections. Although judges are appointed through a political process, once they take the oath, they are confined to exercising a power that is, under Article III, judicial only. Which is to say, one that should involve a faithful, not a fanciful, reading of the laws and the Constitution.
I want to turn to another subject, which I have taken from Day One to be my most solemn responsibility as Attorney General. That is ensuring that we put into place the institutions we need to keep our country safe from the continuing threat posed by Al Qaeda and other international terrorists.
On September 11th, 2001 , nineteen terrorists inflicted the most catastrophic attack on our homeland since Pearl Harbor . What made that attack so devastating was not simply the toll inflicted upon our country, but the idea that nineteen lightly armed terrorists could murder nearly 3,000 Americans. The reality of such asymmetric warfare required us to dramatically reconsider how we should confront the threat of international terrorism.
When the terrorists attacked the World Trade Center in 1993, when Al Qaeda attacked the U.S.S. Cole in Yemen and our embassies in Kenya and Tanzania , the United States deployed the FBI to the scene to collect evidence, pursue leads and; ultimately, indict and prosecute at least some of those responsible.
Following the September 11th attacks, however, it no longer seemed prudent to treat international terrorism solely as a criminal matter where suspects are pursued and prosecuted only after they have perpetrated a crime. Indeed, at the time of the September 11th attacks, Osama bin Laden was already under criminal indictment for his role in the embassy bombings. Instead, the United States recognized the attack of September 11th to be what it was: an act of war -- a war that had been declared years earlier by enemies of the United States , and indeed of civilized people everywhere. In response, this Nation, under our President, committed to a comprehensive offensive strategy against the terrorists abroad using every resource at our disposal -- military, intelligence, financial and law enforcement.
The U.S. military deployed to Afghanistan where Al Qaeda had found a safe haven within the confines of the brutal and inhumane regime of the Taliban. When our forces, or those of allies, captured members of the enemy, we detained them so that they could not simply return to the battlefield and, where we thought it appropriate, transferred them for detention to the U.S. naval station at Guantanamo Bay .
At home, the Administration sought to reorganize and modernize our government to reflect the new priorities of the War on Terror. We brought domestic security agencies, which historically had been scattered throughout the Executive Branch, under the umbrella of a Department of Homeland Security, and we established a Director of National Intelligence to ensure that our intelligence agencies would work together in tracking terrorist threats and preventing new attacks.

Accommodation is the ability of the lens of the eye to change shape, allowing for a change in focus from far to near. The lens, which is flexible, becomes more round to bring near objects into focus and flattens to bring distant objects into focus.
With age, the lens of the eye loses some of its flexibility, reducing the ability to accommodate. This usually starts to affect your near vision around age 40 and is called presbyopia.

Evil Lyrics - Stevie Wonder
Evil, why have you engulfed so many hearts...Evil
Evil, why have you destroyed so many minds...
Leaving room for darkness, where lost dreams can hide.
Evil, why do you infest our purest thoughts, with hatred.
Evil, why have you stolen so much love...
Leaving everyone's emotions lost and wandering free.
Evil, why have you taken over God's children's eyes...Evil
Evil, before they could really grow to see,
That your way, is not the way, to make, life what it should be, Yea, yea, yea
Evil, why have you destroyed, you've destroyed so much of this doggone world...Evil
Evil, oh, why have you broken so many homes...
Leaving everyone's emotions lost and wandering free.

5 Chores You Should Never Skip (Even If You're Busy)
Pressed for time? Running late? Didn't finish completing your list of cleaning tasks this week but need to head out that door? Whenever you're pressed for time — have an extra heavy schedule a certain week — don't let all your chores and cleaning duties slip into disarray. Keep your house functioning by being choosy with the chores you skip and the ones you tackle.
Never skip these chores:
We said you can skip changing the dirty laundry in your hamper to clean, but don't skip filling the hamper. Don't let dirty towels and recently worn outfits make a room feel dirtier than it actually is.
Whatever method of cleaning the countertop you regularly use (from convenient wipes to DIY natural cleaners and reusable rags), consider always applying a simple swipe after you're done using an area. It'll help keep stains from getting hard and a little shine will go a long way to making a room feel clean.
From hard surfaces to carpet and rugs, a cleaner floor instantly equates to a cleaner room. Some might balk at vacuuming being a "quick" chore considered un-skippable, but we think a quick once-over of the common areas is something you can reasonably do. And you can always consider small handheld vacuum for even quicker swipes over obviously dirty small spots.
Wanna know what we think are the chores you can totally get away with occasionally skipping? 5 Chores You Can Skip When You're Busy.

OK, I'll go first. Vacuuming daily? I wish. It's something I aspire to but will never do. I try for twice-a-week, but don't even manage that most of the time. I just live with the cat hair & dream of having staff.
Daily chores I never miss: scooping the litter pans & sweeping around them (my cats excavate like miners); wiping down the bathroom sink, vanity & mirror (& yes, the tub too, but I'm not getting into that again; it seems to trigger a lot of strong feelings ); making the bed; washing dishes; cleaning the counters & stove top.
Hear hear on the vacuuming! I keep the counters clean, catbox scooped, laundry picked up, and dirty dishes in the dishwasher, not the sink (most of the time). All else is negotiable.
I do all 4 religiously and my place is always tidy. Not clean, just tidy and I love it. I don't vacuum though, it's too much.
I have a lot of hardwood floors in the common areas. A quick run through with a long handled dust pan and small broom (aka a silent butler, but meant for floors, not tables) lets me get any noticeable leaves, dust bunnies that crawled out over night, or crumbs up and out of sight in only a few minutes and without the hassle of getting the vacuum out of the closet. I feel virtuous if I vacuum once a week, but I don't mind a quick sweep every day or so, mainly because it doesn't involve getting the vac out.
I stopped making my bed in 5th grade when I successfully argued to my parents that it is an inefficient waste of time. My husband likes a made bed, so I explained that if that's what he wanted then he could spend the time making it (no easy feat with my helicoptering jumbling the sheets and comforter every night!) Our bed is unmade :)
I vacuum & sweep every other day, load my dishwasher every day, wipe my counters after every use and my laundry is always in the hamper. See I couldn't accomplish all of that if I wasted time making my bed :)
My daily dozen: Pick up the back yard dog poop. Sweep the patio. Wash the dogs' water bowl. Refill it with fresh water & their dental additive. Wash, dry, & store dishes. Gather & take out indoor trash & recyclables. Collar the dogs. Bring in & resolve the mail. Adjust the artificial lighting. Adjust window treatments. Set the alarm clock. Make the bed. Not in that order. YMMV.
I whole heartedly agree with #2. We have a dishwasher, but pans and hand wash only items still make a sink look cluttered, and since we enter our apartment through the kitchen, I am adamant that dishes are cleaned after every meal. It can be annoying to wash a couple pans when you want to relax after dinner, but its better than having to do it before you need to cook breakfast! I also like the idea of making my bed each day, sadly, this only happens on holidays and breaks :)
Bed making is easier to do daily if simplified by reducing the linens to the pillows and covers actually used.
I don't understand how people can just let dirty dishes pile up. It's so gross.
Before I was married, I always made my bed, picked up my dirty clothes, kept the dishes in order (though that one is super hard for me!), swept the crumbs away in the kitchen and wiped counters in kitchen and bath.
But this has been the hardest part of getting used to living with each other! haha We've been married for almost four years. I think I've finally accepted I will do these daily things and he will pitch in on the weekends with the bigger chores. He doesn't care about the daily stuff but is happy to grab a scrubber and get stuff done once a week.
Who cares what your bed looks like? Unless it's uncomfortable to be in, skip it. Being a grownup means you don't have to waste your time.
For me, the trick to getting myself to do these chores was to create habits that made sense. For example: the bed. I finally made a daily habit of making my bed when I combined it with my morning coffee ritual. There's always a few minutes between when pouring the water and when the coffee is ready. So, I make a pot of coffee and then make my bed while it's brewing. I started that habit when I bought a new coffeemaker back in 2012. I can't remember the last time I didn't make my bed. I'm going to guess it was 2o12.
It's the same kind of thinking as the Apartment Therapy Landing Strip. Your stuff gets scattered because you don't have a place for it when you walk in the door. Create a "landing strip" for that stuff and the mess never gets created in the first place. Similarly, create habits that fit what you're already doing and the chores get done.
Has to be the top 6, because scooping the litterbox & back yard come first. Agree with all the others, except that with all hard floors I broom-sweep & Swiffer daily (LOTS of hair & muddy paw prints around here), & only vacuum 1-2 x per week.
Agree that forming habits is crucial, so is arranging your place so that performing those habitual actions is easy--lots & lots of good ideas out there. Keep all the stuff you need together--I got way better about the litterbox when I put the scoop, poop bags, bigger bags for emptying box, supply of fresh litter, & broom for sweeping up the floor (my cats are miners, too) all together in the bathroom with the box--& it's a small BR. 15 seconds to scoop, 3 1/2 minutes (yes, I timed it) to empty & refill.
Made a whole lot more sense than keeping the litter & bags on the front porch & the broom on the back porch. Almost any process can be streamlined & simplified if you just think it thru.
Hate making your bed? Have you considered a comforter in a case that replaces top sheet, blanket, & spread? Shake & drop back on bed. Time elapsed--10 secs. About 2 annoying minutes once a week to wrestle the eiderdown into a clean case, but everything has a price. I've been doing it this way since I was 16--the bed's always made & it really is dead easy.
That's a great way to make bed making a non-issue. I cleaned and stored my custom bedspread many years ago, and haven't used it as such since then. I keep it because it's pretty and unusual, and may put it on the bed when I someday stage my house for sale. Meanwhile, making my bed is easy, although it takes me a lot longer than 10 seconds!
I used to think making my bed was a waste of time, until one day I actually timed it. It took less than two minutes. Takes even less time now that I do it everyday because the tangled-ness of the sheets doesn't get compounded by days of going unmade. Plus, my bed is visible from the front door of my apartment, so when I come home from work I see it made I don't get stressed out by having a perpetually messy room.
OK, *except* the daily vacuuming. That's what grandma kept a dust mop for. Whatever the modern equivalent is should do. If not, the people you're living with need retrained - or trained to vacuum.
I actually dislike the feel of a made bed - tucked in sheets drive me nuts. So I settle for simply pulling up a big comforter that covers everything and is fluffy enough to cover up if the sheets are a bit wrinkly underneath.
I can't follow the logic of bed-making and vacuuming being mandatory while taking out the trash is optional.
ok wait making the bed is a MUST, but taking out trash is meeehhhhh skip it & spray it??? crazypants!
Bed making, laundry, dishes, and some daily picking up are what I make sure to have done. I also iron four pieces of clothing per day so that it keeps moving and doesn't become such a huge pile.
A few times a week I sweep and vacuum, wipe down the stovetop, change the water in flower vases, clear junk mail, and clean a bathroom.
Guess it depends on what's in your trash. Since I don't eat meat & compost all other food scraps, mine easily goes a week without smelling bad--a good thing, since anything that goes outside is subject to rearrangement by raccoons & feral cats.
Mine pretty much consists of floor sweepings, non-recyclable food packaging & the rare paper towel. Bathroom trash includes cat poop, but if it's bagged--reused newspaper bags gathered from the neighbors--it doesn't smell either.
If composting were not an option, or if I were dealing with meat scraps, different story.
This list is definitely helpful, especially for a messy girl like me!
Dearest… I think I will continue to skip all of this if I can't, as I think taking good care of my daughter by myself, travel, working is sometimes (no always) impossible to make all this come true… And I have a full house.
Vive la liberté!
Thank goodness I'm on all of those things, probably in that order too if I have to pick. Having a few must-do things regardless of how busy or tired you get really helps keep things under control.
"I don't understand how people can just let dirty dishes pile up. It's so gross."
Just relax, "let if go"… it is also a big job of not doing it sometimes ;) And work on something more interesting, more fun.
Who knows, waiting a few hours will make you understand some new meaning of life!!! :)
I don't doubt this list is right for you, Adrienne, but it's not necessarily so for others.
Bedmaking is trivial and takes only seconds if you use comforters.
And no vacuum can handle the collie hair or the feathers - we use a Bissel on the carpets, and the bare floors get swiffered or mopped with a microfiber cloth.
We're all adult: we clean up after ourselves in the kitchen, and put soiled items in a hamper.
If we made a list we'd head it with pet care - uncovering and cleaning bird cages, and providing fresh food and clean water for the birds and the dogs. Usually done before we have breakfast ourselves.
If I don't have time to wash the dishes in the sink I at least rinse them.
I dislike the idea that someone thinks there are things I 'should' be going. So up-tight.
The only thing I never skip is to cook dinner (it sometimes feels like a chore).
I vacuum 5 minutes a day - I set a timer or else I'd overdo it early in the week and give up in despair by Wednesday.
A made bed is a must for me. I grew up this way and find that it sets my day in motion, is more comforting to sleep in (smoothed sheets), and obviously, makes the room seem calmer (sleep is important!).
No dishes in sink ever is my 2014 resolution and I'd give myself a solid A grade on that so far. I've considered getting an upright vacuum (somehow that seems easier than pulling out the canister which I keep standing on end in a closet) but so far, vacuuming is something that happens occasionally certainly not every day!
It takes about 10 seconds to make the bed, but we are minimalists, no extra pillows and throws that have to be moved on and off every day. What is going on a bed that takes 2 minutes? Scooping the catbox every day is mandatory.
Vacuuming every day - yeah, that ain't gonna happen.
Make your bed, do the dishes, pick up your laundry... YES MOM, will do.
I do this thing where I make my bed while still in it. I kind of kneel near the headboard and pillows, lift and fluff the duvet and sheet (I use both), and then fold down the edge and then adjust the pillows. Weird, maybe, but super fast and easy. I've done this since I was a kid - too lazy to walk around the bed to make it. Sadly, it doesn't work if my husband is still in bed so I try to push him out first.
I have four in the morning and four after work
Dog out/in/food/water
Dishwasher emptied (while waiting for dog to be done in back yard) and tea water boil
Bed made (I 'cheat' with a duvet, too)
"Swish and swipe" in bathroom (counter/sink/commode)
After work
Sort/deal with mail
Kitchen counters/non-dishwasher pots and pans (after dinner)
Trash patrol(dry trash - includes a quick sweep to control dog fur)/compost out (taken out when I walk the dog after dinner)
Clothes in hamper/put out morning outfit
Load of laundry every couple of days, deep sweep/vac on Friday night, pick up yard and mow on the weekend. Kick in a rotating list of deep cleaning chores (about an hour every Saturday and Sunday) and picking up after myself when I bake or do craft projects and the house is generally in pretty good shape.
I haven't made my bed in years. Its pretty simple to flip down the covers at night from where I opened the them the previous morning. Especially now when my bedroom is so small that all I do in there is sleep and change my clothes.
Yeah, not into making the bed - one of the perks of living alone! No need! I feel fine without making it. But, I don't have a comforter or nice bedspread anyway, because my dog chews them - blankets only :-/
Bah!! I say do it when it feels right. Let it go when it doesn't. Have a life! My place can impress just like it can scare. Depends on what side of the bed I got out of (which I rarely make). One of the best pics of my bedroom is with the bed unmade and it is SO inviting. Vive la bohème!! :)
OK, I've read this over a few times and I don't see where she's saying to vacuum every day. She says: "Didn't finish completing your list of cleaning tasks this week but need to head out that door?" I'm sure the bed-making, dish-doing, laundry-pick-upping and clean-as-you-go counter swiping are meant as daily chores, but the vacuuming? I think not.
I try to vacuum once a week but make due in between with an old-fashioned dust mop on the hardwoods and a broom/dust pan in the kitchen.
even if you work more than 16 hours .. really?
I do have those five down for regular cleanning choirs. I do have a good vacume cleaner for those weeky choirs. But those battery vacumes are nice for the quick local clean up mess, like the popcorn around the easy chair while watching a movie.
That's actually a lot of cleaning
I don't vacuum every day, but my robot does. I named him Mo and having two floors, I clean each floor every other day. It's remarkable how much dirt/dust they pick up every single day.
Obviously none of you that have posted have children old enough to pitch in? It doesn't have to be perfect i.e. poop patrol but some is better than none on the pick up patrol. Just sayin!
I cannot STAND to crawl into an unmade bed. I've even been known to MAKE the bed and then get in it. Just one of those things I'm picky about. My floors on the other hand......
The making of the bed seems more like a personal preference. Hardly a "must-do"
That said, I do tend to make my bed everyday. Not particularly because I care but because 1. My dog likes to jump up on there and making sure theres a nice "outer" blanket evenly spread across prevents his dirty paws from coming into contact with anyother part of the bed that I like to be a bit more sanitary.
and 2. I have a LOT of free time. I make the bed just for something to do. I'm going to assume this isnt a problem a lot of people here have though.
Same here with the dog and an outer blanket. The bed is higher and he can look outside in comfort. The little dog does however has his own doggie bed on the flooor for nighttime.
I have to tell you my husband and I have been playing the game of last one out of bed must make up the bed. We have been doing this for 37+years. Usually it is I that sleeps longer now. On weekends it's anyone's guess who will make the bed !
Really? Some people need to be reminded to pick up their dirty laundry?? To me is like reminding an adult to flush the toilet, but it takes all sorts... I guess
I like the bedroom to look tidy and serene during the day and into the evening. It just makes me happy. So Dear Heart tidies up his side of the bed when he gets up. And then I tidy up mine when I get up. Just the pillows and spreads we use each night. The bed is not magazine-photo-shoot ready, but tidy and serene. I like my memory foam pillow plumped and turned each morning. It just feels better that night. The pretty bedspread is always on the the quilt rack til guests come. Easy peasy. (A duvet sounds like a great idea, but way too hot for me.)
I add FlyLady's Swish and Swipe routine in the bathroom. Swiping with a pop-up cleaning wipe, folded several times, and a spray and swish of vinegar in the loo helps to start the day off clean and fresh. A few seconds and it is company ready. Much to my surprise, I rarely feel the need to deep clean in the BR anymore. In the shower a squeegee and an old handtowel wipe-down after each shower makes a huge difference. So worth the seconds that takes.
As for the dishes and counters, the spring invasion of tiny ants has begun, so taking care of dishes and counters is a must.
Adding a few starting with..The TOILET, cat litter boxes, getting the laundry actually done, patrolling the fridge for science projects...
I'd make the bed if someone wasn't still in it when I leave in the morning.
Rinsing tub and wiping wall surround; washing any dishes used in the morning; take out garbage (don't want nasty surprises in the hot summer); straightening up bed (or futon). Those are on my daily morning must do list.
Bonjourno, I have no kids (yet), no pets (yet) and live alone, I have an assistant who does the washing up in the kitchen, bed making, rubbish removal, vacuuming, laundry, ironing, window cleaning, setting/clearing the dinner table, etc. I do food preparation and cooking. I am always in ready mode for guests on par with hotel standards, I keep a drinks only fridge stocked for entertaining at short notice, my cleaning tip is fill small spray bottles with dettol (for bath, shower and toilet after each use), surgical spirits (good for cleaning screens, mirrors, phones, etc) and for the sake of efficiency I buy detergents in the spray bottles. Happy cleaning every one !

Greatdividing came to my attention earlier this year, via two oddly-packaged singles from Australia, completed in no hurry, and filled with a limited and head-scratching set of sounds. A Range of Greatdividing was included with that package as a CD-R, but my patience with those was too limited to bother. Thankfully an Austrian label has started up to press it onto vinyl as their first release. This wider berth allows us to see the whole of their worldview, and said outlook is indifferent basement rock destruction of mid-to-high quality. Tracks span the past two decades and then some, and I'd assume there are only a few participants across most of these projects. I like the acoustic strum doom march of Deep Brain Thrombosis, and the experimental, humorous oddball cynics behind the awesomely-named Rock Boycott, but we also get some Fall references through Shoptoprockers, muted whaling rock crush by feedtime-related project 3 Toed Sloth, and some crumbling jamm-o smegmo by Exiles from Clowntown. 300 pressed, in specially cut, silkscreened sleeves.
