How to Clean Upholstered Furniture
Do you clean your upholstered furniture on a regular basis? Don't wait until you can see the dust and dirt. If you add these tips to your cleaning routines, your upholstered furnishings will look and smell great — and last longer too!
Weekly Upholstered Furniture Care
- remove pillows and cushions
- use the crevice tool on your vacuum to really get into all the crevices that hold the dust and dirt. If cushions are not removable, use the crevice tool to get into all the available seams and corners.
- Vacuum the cushions. (I'm in love with my Dyson DC40 upright and my newest, Dyson 35 cordless vacuum)
- Replace and rotate the cushions. You can extend your upholstered furniture's life by periodically turning over the loose cushions.
- Look over the pieces carefully; if you see any spots or stains treat them immediately.
- If you have any stains, remove the cover if you can, and treat according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- If you aren't sure how to treat a stain and would like to treat it yourself – try using a little white shaving cream. Use a very small amount of white shaving cream on a damp white cloth to treat all kinds of mystery stains. When the stain is gone, dab with a second cloth and clean water. Be sure to first test on a hidden part of the upholstery for colorfastness. *It's always best to contact the furniture or upholstery manufacturer to see if you can get specific cleaning instructions for your particular fabric.
- Freshen throw pillows by tossing them in the dryer and set it on air or fluff with some tennis balls to freshen and dust in one step.
When you furniture needs a deeper clean you can rent a Rug Doctor machine, or better yet buy one and follow these instructions on How to Clean Upholstered Furniture
Before You Begin
Rug Doctor machines and cleaning products are safe for many fabrics, even delicate fibers. HOWEVER, you risk damage to fabrics not intended for water extraction method cleaning. Do not use or place the Rug Doctor machine or cleaning products on: Silk, Haitian cotton, velour, brushed corduroy, leather, non-colorfast fabrics or upholstery fabric with cleaning codes S or X. Do not use Rug Doctor machines or attachments on mattresses or mattress toppers made with memory foam, foam or goose down. Some stains require professional treatment. Use cool water when cleaning wool, wool blends or delicate fibers.
Prepare Upholstery for Cleaning
1. Prepare surface for cleaning by thoroughly vacuuming or brushing. Set up the machine, directing your attention to the hose connections at the rear.
Set Up
2. First, pull free the top portion of the large vacuum hose at the back of the machine. Then connect the top portion of the machine vacuum hose to the vacuum hose of the Hand Tool. Next, slide down the sleeve of the brass "quick coupler" on the machine and pull out the small solution hose. Slide down the coupler sleeve again to insert the metal end of Hand Tool solution hose. Release the brass sleeve to secure. Tug gently on the hose to make certain the connection is complete.
3. Remove the UPPER (white) tank. Mix Rug Doctor Upholstery Cleaner with water in a clean bucket according to the label directions and pour into the LOWER tank.
4. Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of Rug Doctor Anti-Foam to UPPER tank, then slip tank back in place and seal tank and clear dome securely by replacing restraining wire.
5. Plug in the power cord and position the machine. Refer to the label on top of machine and turn the machine ON for upholstery/hand tool cleaning. On some machines you may also need to turn on an additional switch for Vacuum ON.
6. Test for colorfastness by first cleaning a small, hidden area, then rub the test area with a white towel. If no color appears, continue cleaning. A little color on the towel means there's some chance of color running, but you probably can still clean safely. Dry cushions on sheets or towels laid out on the floor.
Start Cleaning
7. Working at a slow, steady pace, begin cleaning by squeezing the hand tool lever as you pull the tool over fabric. Overlap strokes slightly. IMPORTANT: Do NOT depress the button on machine handle while using the hand tool.
8. As you clean, with the vacuum on, squirt or vacuum small amounts of Rug Doctor Anti-Foam into the small (vacuum) opening of the hand tool every few minutes to minimize suds build-up inside the vacuum hose. If foam builds up around the hand tool, pull a little bit faster or vacuum excess solution by passing over area a second time without squeezing lever.
9. When cleaning is complete, empty any remaining solution by holding the hand tool over a sink and depressing lever until tank is empty.
10. With all switches OFF, disconnect the Hand Tool hoses and securely reconnect the machine vacuum and solution hoses before returning to rental location. NOTE: For velvet upholstery, fluff up damp pile with a soft brush or towel to keep from matting.
If you learn How to Clean Upholstered Furniture it is possible to keep your upholstery looking its best for a long time. Remember, it pays to be consistent. Rug Doctor machines can be rented from your local supermarket or home improvement store for less than the cost of a professional cleaning service.

This is so useful, Cheryl! I need to bookmark this one.
Great tutorial Cheryl! I was just telling my husband that we need to do this to our well used family room couches. Saving this for spring when we can open the windows and let in the warm dry air.
I like the tips about freshening up pillows in the dryer, I fluff up my comforter and bed pillows that way and never though to do it for the other furniture.
I so need to do this! My couch is in serious need of a cleaning.
I really need this right now. My couch is in bad shape!
i bought an upholstered set at auction recently and upon delivery noticed a dirt stain that I hadn't seen before. I had a Mr. Clean type "eraser" that I had bought at the dollar store and it worked great. Also used the dryer trick for the removable cushions.
These are great tips and a good tutorial – thanks Cheryl for the info. I have to try this!

This is a great tutorial! I'm adamant about vacuuming upholstered furniture, especially in the crevices, since my son and I have terrible dust allergies. But I'd never heard of using white shaving cream to remove spots. Will have to try that soon. Thanks!

Great tips, Cheryl. No one wants to see expensive furniture and home pieces deteriorate with everyday dirt and spills. Hiring a professional service to protect and clean your furniture is a great option to reduce the stress of doing all the cleaning yourself.
I am unable to locate the manufacturer's code – I see the label under the cushions identifying the contents of the cushions, etc, but I don't see the letter codes

This is great advice to keep your upholstery looking like new for years. Unfortunately, my couch has been damaged beyond repair and has an ugly orange burn mark in the suede 🙁 At least, I think it's damaged beyond repair. Is there anything at all I can do to minimize the mark or fade it? It's in a big, round spot on a couch that is not removable. The perfect storm. If anyone can help me out I'd appreciate it! If nothing can be done, I won't be surprised. :/
I have been cleaning my upholstery for years using Oxyclean. I was cleaning the seat belts on my car with a very strong solution of Oxyclean when I knocked the bucket over. I ran to get the wet vac, and it took me about 10 minutes to get it out and set it up. When I sucked up the suds, the carpet was beter than new! I proceeded to do this to all the interior of my Explorer. I applied the Oxyclean heavily with a scrub brush and sucked it back up with the shop vac, then rinsed it well. To rinse it, I used the sprayer on the water hose in behind the shop vac. Carpet cleaners are basically a soap sprayer in back of a vacuum, so I was doing the same thing the Rug Doctor was doing, only I had better control of it. I super sucked out the water after making sure it was completely rinsed, and the car smelled wonderful for months. I do this now on all my upholstered furniture. I have a B&B and you would be surprised how nasty people can be. I clean everything at least once a year, spot cleaning in between. Just make sure you rinse extremely well. Left over soap residue will attract more dirt and grime. And a tip I learned from a professional, use laundry softener in your rinse water to keep downsuds. A tablespooon in a quart of water works well and is so cheap! Put it in a sprayer for the hose or in the rinse water tank.
A lot of good practical advice, Thanks Cheryl!
I liked your tip to work at a slow, steady pace when cleaning upholstery. That seems like an important tip to make sure that the fabric on my furniture will be thoroughly cleaned. You also made a good point about preventing suds build-up inside of the vacuum hose, so remembering to squirt only small amounts of cleaner out of vacuums would make the process of cleaning my upholstery much easier. Thanks for the tips!

If you are anything like me then you don't do a very good job of vacuuming the couch every week. I tend to clean my couch only when I remember or know that I have spilled something on it. So, couch covers are my friends. I just throw them in the wash and I'm done. Unfortunately, after a while the couch starts to stink a little and I suffer from my negligence in cleaning the couch.

Muslim-as-Apple-Pie Videos Are Greeted With Skepticism
By JANE PERLEZ
Published: October 30, 2002
JAKARTA, Indonesia, Oct. 29 — Rawia Ismail, a vivacious young teacher in Toledo, Ohio, her head covered with an Islamic head scarf, appears in a United States government video that will have its first public showing this week on national television here in the world's most populous Muslim country.
The Lebanese-born Ms. Ismail is shown with her three smiling children in her all-American kitchen, at a school softball game, and in front of her class, extolling American values.
"I didn't see any prejudice anywhere in my neighborhood after Sept. 11," says Ms. Ismail.
The portrayal of Ms. Ismail as a woman who practices her Muslim faith in America with ease is one of the images that the Bush administration is offering to the Muslim world as an example of how America is not at war with Islam.
The message, in four videos about American Muslims that are to be shown here and in other Islamic countries, is one of tolerance at home and a desire to reach out abroad.
But viewers who have seen the videos were skeptical about whether life for Muslims in the United States is really so rosy.
The videos are part of a major campaign, conceived by a former Madison Avenue advertising executive, Charlotte Beers, who is under secretary of state for public diplomacy, to sell the United States to a skeptical — and in places, hostile — Muslim world.
They tell the stories of a prominent doctor, Elias Zerhouni, the Algerian-born director of the National Institutes of Health; a Libyan-born baker, Abdul Hammuda, in Toledo; a Brooklyn-born medic with the New York Fire Department, Farooq Muhammad; and Ms. Ismail.
The theory underpinning the videos, and newspaper ads and radio spots that will accompany them, is that the United States is a misunderstood place. In reality, the message implies, America recognizes Islam as an important religion and one of the fastest-growing in America.
Another feature of the broader campaign is a new radio station, Radio Sawa, that broadcasts in the Arab world, playing pop music in Arabic and English and providing top-of-the-hour news from an American point of view. Muslim academics from Asia and the Middle East are also being sent to the United States for study tours. More than 20 principals of Islamic schools in Indonesia visited the United States this summer.
At a preview of the videos here today, presided over by the American ambassador, Ralph L. Boyce, and attended by Indonesian journalists and academics, the reception was mixed.
Indeed, inside the State Department, some diplomats who have lived in Islamic countries criticized the scripts before their release for being patronizing and too simplistic, department officials said.
Some adjustments were made, they said. But according to today's viewers, not enough.
No East or Southeast Asia Muslims appeared in the videos, even though the videos were being introduced in this region, they said. It was as if the State Department believed Muslims only lived in Arab countries and only those Muslims migrated to the United States, several in the audience said.
The most telling critique came from Rizal Mallarangeng, a television host and political analyst who has just finished eight years of study at Ohio State University.
Mr. Mallarangeng praised the State Department for trying to overcome the hostility in the Islamic world toward the United States.
But, he said, the videos' story lines missed the complexities of being a Muslim in America.
"I have friends like this," he said referring to the characters in the videos. "They want to be good Muslims and good Americans. This is a bipolar way of life and the question always is how to solve the perpetual conflict."
There were straightforward matters, said Mr. Mallarangeng, like how a Muslim student could pray the requisite number of times while attending an American public school.
"How does a student find a place to pray?" he said. "At an American public school there is no religion and I understand. But what does the religious father of a Muslim student say at home about this?"
Others in the audience said that by presenting a picture of universal tolerance in the United States, the videos bordered on being propaganda.
Mr. Muhammad, the Fire Department medic in Brooklyn, for example, speaks of working with colleagues of the Hindu, Christian and Jewish faiths. "We're all brothers and sisters," he says. Dr. Zerhouni, of the National Institutes of Health, says, "The tolerance and support I have received myself is remarkable," and, "I don't think there is any other country in the world where different people from different countries are as accepted and welcomed as members of a society."
Rosita S. Noer, who just completed studies at Harvard, said she found the scenes "too hard-sell."
"When I was in Harvard Square after Sept. 11," she said, "I heard young people saying very hard things about Muslims."
For the videos to make a more convincing case to skeptical Indonesians, said Muhammad Rusmadi, a journalist at the Islamic newspaper, Rakyat Merdeka, he would have liked to see American Muslims actually living alongside people of other religions. "It would be good to see American Muslims interacting with American Jews," he said.
It would be even better, said Mr. Rusmadi, for American officials to go to Islamic schools and to make their case directly to students.

By now you've probably seen or heard about the George Parros situation from yesterday. You've probably also realized that the fighting debate has once again come up in the media, on blogs and on Twitter. Personally, I (Rick) don't feel that fighting has a place in hockey any longer. Here's an explanation as to why in the form of a post that I wrote a few years ago. If you've followed me on Twitter, you know how I feel about it. I know that many disagree with me.
But enough about me. This post isn't about me. It's about a recent blog post by Darren Dreger of TSN on fighting and fighting in general. The Dreger post includes a section on Penguins' general manager Ray Shero:
Pittsburgh's Ray Shero has been a strong advocate in the league's crackdown on checking to the head. He believes that the NHL has a responsibility to consider a ban on fighting and not just simply raise the discussion when an isolated incident happens.
"It won't happen overnight, but we need to be leaders, not followers in this area," he explained. "I respect other GMs and their views, but we need to look at this and not just when an incident like last night (Parros) happens."
It's obvious why Shero feels that way. He doesn't have a team like the Leafs that has multiple enforcers. It's in his best interest to want to reduce fighting.
Steve Yzerman, general manager of the Tampa Bay Lightning and former Red Wings superstar, takes Shero's point even further:
"Yes, I believe a player should get a game misconduct for fighting," Yzerman told The Dreger Report. "We penalize and suspend players for making contact with the head while checking, in an effort to reduce head injuries, yet we still allow fighting.
"We're stuck in the middle and need to decide what kind of sport do we want to be. Either anything goes and we accept the consequences, or take the next step and eliminate fighting."
Someone should tell that Yzerman guy that he's "never played the game."
People who like fighting say that it's important to the game, but statistics and facts (not emotion and feeling) show that fights rarely happen when games are close. If it's so important to the game and if it changes momentum so easily, why isn't it happening more often during the most important parts of games?
By "the players like it!", people scream. Yes, they do. At least publicly. 98% of players say that they don't think fighting should be "completely banished." Of course, if most of us were asked publicly if an aspect of our job should be "completely banished," we'd probably say no too. People don't like to talk in extremes.
People also don't like to look "weak" in front of the other "tough guys" on their team. Plus, most teams have at least one player who fights. Saying that fighting should be completely banished is like saying that guy shouldn't be in the league, and not many people would willing say that about a teammate.
Don't believe NHL players might publicly state that they have a different opinion than they really do in order to keep up appearances? Take the band Nickelback. If you asked 100 people if they like Nickelback, at least 98 of them would say no. But Nickelback is incredibly successful. A large group of people must be buying their songs and paying to see their shows, probably a lot more people than would admit to liking the band. A lot of people are probably keeping up appearances when they say they hate Nickelback. In this case, fighting is Nickelback. That's right.
Of course, there are other options other than "completely banishing" fighting such as stiffer penalties and fines, but I don't think the NHLPA has ever polled players on those. A "completely ban" would likely be impossible, but a lot can be done to reduce the number of fights that take place.
One thing most people can agree on is that "designated fighters," "enforcers" and "staged fights" are generally pointless in today's game.
And despite protestations to the contrary, it's become a relatively small sideshow that has been marginalized to the point there is on average less than one fight every two NHL games.
Those throwing punches, meanwhile, play such fringe minutes they often are referred to as grocery sticks – i.e. the warm bodies that serve to only separate other players on the bench.
As for the entertainment value of the spectacle, well, the full extent of the damage done to Parros is not yet known, and the 10 minutes or so he remained on the ice were some of worst that can be experienced by anyone at a professional sporting event.
That certainly has to detract from the "take fans out of their seats" factor many refer to whenever the fighting debate comes up.
But what's even more unfortunate is that a sport built on speed and skill and brawn and full of amazing moments allows it to happen again and again to great people like Parros and justifies it as part of the game.
And Bruce Arthur has more on fighting:
This is an article of faith in many places in the National Hockey League. Fighters protect stars; fighting changes momentum; fighting energizes a team; fighting can change a game. None of it applies in the playoffs, and there's little solid evidence that the momentum swing actually exists, but the faith endures. Visors are being grandfathered in, and there is this new penalty for removing your helmet before a fight; in response, Tuesday night Toronto's Mark Fraser negotiated with Montreal's Travis Moen for 30 seconds so they would do it at the same time before fighting, and both get the penalty. Fraser is a smart guy, too.
Nobody questions the courage of the men who fight. But it seems so long ago that we were all worried after the deaths of Wade Belak, of Rick Rypien, of Derek Boogaard. Their deaths raised complex issues of depression, of whether depression was linked to fighting, of suicide, of the easy access to painkillers, of overdoses, of what this thing makes some men do. The discussion flared, and … vanished. Nothing was resolved.
This won't change anything. We will jump on the merry-go-round, talk it over, jump off. But George Parros has hurt people, and he has gotten hurt, and as he lay there I wondered how there can't be a better way to police this game. I wondered about the cost of doing business. On Hockey Night in Canada Ron MacLean said, "Our guilty pleasure too often becomes our guilty conscience." Yeah.
People often say that fighting is "part of the game." Yeah, but so was a whistle for a two-line pass. So was players without helmets and goaltenders without masks. So was the Hartford Whalers. Things change. A lot of players were against mandating visors at one point, but the league did it anyway because the game had changed. A lot of players were probably against wearing helmets and masks at one point, but the league did it anyway because the game had changed. A lot of players and general managers were against hybrid icing, but it was still implemented.
Years ago we would all watch Scott Stevens hand out concussions and cheer. Now we cringe when one of those hits happens and we look for a penalty or a suspension. Things that were once "part of the game" are no longer considered to be so crucial.
You can't get rid of staged fighting without harsher penalties for all fighting. How would you determine which fight was staged and which fight wasn't? But if you handed out serious penalties accompanied by player and team fines, you'd drastically cut down on the "useless" fights while still allowing the "good" fights (and I use that term loosely here) to continue. Similar harsh punishments should be handed down for cheap shots and dirty play. Those don't belong in the game either. Many used to celebrate Bobby Clarke breaking Valeri Kharlamov's ankle, but those days are over too.
People say that fighting polices the game, but what should be policing the game is effective and consistent officiating and supplementary disciple by the league. The NHL is dropping by the ball and putting players at risk by letting the players "solve" dirty play with their fists rather than solving it with consistently-enforced rules.
I recognize that this is a very long post. I recognize that a lot of people reading it will hate it. I also recognize that a lot of people won't read it at all. That's what I expect and I understand that. But if you did read it, thanks. I promise I won't do this too often.

Frosted Wheat
Blame it on the weather. Clearly, the harsh winter in much of the U.S. may have an impact on businesses and the economy. Already, investors are bracing for a raft of weather-related excuses to come from companies that miss expectations when they report first-quarter results this spring.
Weather surprises don't always have to have an adverse impact, though. Take some commodities, like wheat. In a note Friday, Capital Economics points out the price of wheat has actually fallen since December; it is down about 10% since then, according to FactSet. The reason? The decline in temperatures since December was gradual, which allowed wheat "to properly frost-harden and prevent it being damaged by severe drops in temperature later in the winter," Capital Economics said. And snow on the ground can insulate some crops, while the spring melt should put more moisture in the soil, helping reduce drought risks.
So snowdrifts may have left some commodities traders, at least those betting on certain price increases, feeling stuck.

Fred is good early, having scored the quickest goal in professional soccer history (just 3.17 seconds in) while with America Mineiro, and he's been exceptional of late, too.
The Brazilian striker who now plays for Fluminese scored a dazzling double to defeat Spain in the 2013 Confederations Cup final. He topped the tournament with five goals.
Fred has the quality and class to wear the famed Brazil No. 9.
This is the jersey Brazil will be wearing in 2014 as all eyes turn towards the host country.
This the authentic home jersey that Nike has created for the five-time world champions.
Brazil's signature yellow home shirt is more than a jersey; it is a symbol of national pride and passion.
The new Y-shaped neckline provides a relaxed fit for better range of motion, and is a stylish vibe that is distinctly Brazil.
Brazil's 2014 home jersey features an updated crest. It is slightly larger than previous crests and features a golden metallic weave for a subtle shimmering effect.
Nike Dri-FIT technology controls sweat and "burnout" mesh and laser-cut ventilation holes create air flow.
100% polyester.
NOTE: Tight fit, which means any jersey classified as Authentic will run small. The authentic is the actual piece that is worn on field. The authentic uses a performance cut for a snug fit. It has a bonded crest. The authentic also features upgraded materials. The upgraded, technologically advanced materials on the authentic jersey will result in a lighter weight.

That's because writer-director Tate Taylor's adaptation of Kathryn Stockett's best-selling novel uses vivid characterizations to bring the Civil Rights-era struggle for human dignity alive.
A harsh scatological plot development, however, marks the film as off-limits for younger viewers—who might otherwise benefit from its generally uplifting story—and will even be off-putting for many adults.
Fresh from her studies at Ole Miss, Eugenia "Skeeter" Phelan (Emma Stone) returns home to Jackson in the early 1960s with her head full of rebellious notions. Instead of finding herself a husband, as her good-hearted but traditionally minded mother, Charlotte (Allison Janney), would prefer, Skeeter wants to be a journalist.
As for the wildly racist thinking that prevails among her privileged peers—personified most viciously by Junior League leader Hilly (Bryce Dallas Howard)—Skeeter has no patience for it. Neglected by Charlotte, Skeeter was nurtured instead by her family's black housemaid, Constantine (Cicely Tyson in a brief but wonderful performance), for whom Skeeter retains a deep affection.
Securing a job as the household hints columnist for a local paper, Skeeter turns to another servant, Aibileen (Viola Davis), for advice on the subject. But Aibileen's help with cleaning tips soon becomes a pretext for Skeeter's secret and potentially dangerous scheme to write a book documenting the lives of Jackson's African-American domestics.
Though initially reluctant to cooperate, Aibileen decides to take the risk based on a sermon she hears in church. Eventually Skeeter also manages to win the confidence of Aibileen's sassy best friend Minnie (Octavia Spencer), whose anecdotes include the off-color tale of how she took revenge on Hilly for firing her.
Since Hilly is leading a crusade to establish separate bathrooms for the city's maids, so they won't spread disease to the white population by using their employers' facilities, Minnie's manner of wreaking vengeance is apt. But, as portrayed in a fairly lengthy scene, and as repeatedly referred back to, the incident is also profoundly distasteful.
The dynamic created by Skeeter's perkiness, Aibileen's mournful warmth and Minnie's irrepressible sauciness keeps the pace unflagging while the proceedings are further enriched by supporting performances from Jessica Chastain as a kooky but kindly social outcast and Sissy Spacek as Hilly's Alzheimer's-beset, but still spirited mom.
Dramatizing the stupidity of prejudice and the expansive possibilities open to those who overcome it, "The Help" is a richly humanistic tale mature viewers will welcome.
The film contains a graphic scatological theme, brief violence and medical gore, veiled sexual references, a half-dozen uses each of profanity and crude language and a few racial slurs. The Catholic News Service classification is A-III—adults. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is PG-13—parents strongly cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13.

A native of the Crenshaw district of South Central Los Angeles, T-Love (aka Taura Taylor) is one of hip-hop's original designing women. From her early days as a scenester in the West Coast recording-plant pipeline (where she produced and shopped demos for the likes of Eazy-E and Ruthless Records' impresario Jerry Heller) to her brief stint at Capitol Records working under the rap name Urban Prop to her moonlighting days as a journalist (URB Magazine) and published author (It's Not About a Salary and Girl Power), T-Love was, and continues to be, every bit the rap version of a renaissance woman. Both the eclectic artist and the shrewd businesswoman with an eye for talent (she is credited for discovering Los Angeles underground darlings Jurassic 5 and releasing their classic Jurassic 5 EP on her fledgling start-up Rumble/Pickinniny Records in 1997), T-Love possessed the skills of a thought-provoking vocalist as well as the corporate savvy of a record-label A&R (in 1996, she self-released her own cult-favorite EP, The Return of the B-Girl, featuring fellow abstract practitioner Kool Keith). In the late '90s, T-Love set out to explore new ideas and sought to develop her rhyming craft abroad with members of the U.K.-based imprint Ninja Tune, including DJ Ollie Teeba of the acclaimed London underground crew Herbaliser. Inspired by the skills of straight-ahead MCs Queen Latifah, Roxanne Shanté, and Bahamadia as well as the more versatile talents of peers like India.Arie, Erykah Badu, Lauryn Hill, and Jill Scott, T-Love combined an R&B-songstress sensibility with spoken-word verbosity and hip-hop posture. The echoes of lady-blues pillars such as Abbey Lincoln and Billie Holiday can also be heard in her distinct brand of soul-hop. Conscious yet funky, T-Love's sworn musical quest was one of personal and spiritual fulfillment rather than acquiring platinum plaques and sound-scan tick marks. The artist returned to the industry fold in 2003 after a seven-year recording hiatus with the release of Long Way Back on Astralwerk Records. The album also featured the talents of more known quantities such as Chali 2Na (of Jurassic 5), Detroit-based super-producer Jay Dee, and Slum Village co-hort Dwele. ~ M.F. DiBella, Rovi

I love this skirt! I am petite, 5'2", 112 pounds and it is difficult to find long skirts that aren't too long. This one is perfect length for me as it is supposed to be ankle length on someone taller. I have this skirt in 2 colors, love the silky soft material. The sage color is great for camping or it can be dressed up. The striped skirt is beautiful and looks superb with short boots or sandals. Well-made, sustainable material, hangs great!
Get it, you will love it!

My son is almost 14 months old, and I have been attending school, but no more than 4 hours away from him at any given time. This summer I will be taking a class that requires me to be gone 5 1/2 hours at a time, 5 days a week; however, I am worried that this may affect my supply as well as his intake of breastmilk. My son is not a heavy eater by any means, and relies on my breastmilk most of the time. My question is, will 5-6 hours away affect my supply without pumping? I have a pump. I haven't used it in a long while because my milk does not store well for more than a week (even if frozen). It gets a rotten smell and a sour taste to it, and my son will refuse it. Should I pump just for the sake of my supply even if my son doesn't care about the milk?
Also, when I do get back from being gone for 3 1/2 to 4 hours, my son attacks me and acts like he's starving for breastmilk. Could this possibly be just for comfort because I was gone? Anyone have any similar experiences?

"Tiny, ancient city....." Top 5 Page for this destination Wells by leics
Wells Travel Guide: 96 reviews and 319 photos
England has many, many wonderful Medieval cathedrals. I have visited many (perhaps most) but have long wanted to visit Wells.
So a short autumn break in the city seemed ideal.
Having a cathedral automatically makes an English settlement into a city, whatever its population. Wells is still pretty small, with a population of only around 11000.
Why 'Wells'? It is because the settlement grew up around reliable freshwater springs..the 'wells'. There are three altogether: two in the grounds of the Bishop's Palace and one in the market place. It is strange to see fresh water running down the gutters of the main street, but that is how Wells has been designed!
There has been a small settlement on site since prehistoric times, and the Romans moved in. But it was under the Saxons that Wells began to grow...King Ine of Wessex founded a minster church there in 704AD.
The wonderful cathedral dates from the 1100s, although the cathedral school goes back even further, to 909AD. The beautiful and intricate west front is a marvel of Medieval architecture, with niches for 500+ statues (300 still survive) but it is the interior which I found truly amazing. Superb scissor arches in the nave support the structure...they look almost modern and really do provide a 'wow' moment when you first see them.
The cathedral, like all English Medieval cathedrals, is full of small carvings......faces and Biblical scenes, 'green men' and monsters. I love looking for these, although they are often quite high up (the lower ones have often been defaced during the Reformation and, later, during the English Civil War)....the master masons carved the faces of people they knew, the local people, so when you look at a carved face you are truly seeing someone who lived during the 1100s.
There's a wonderful Chapter House (1306) attached to the cathedral, with beautiful and intricate fan vaulting and many carved faces. the stone staircase which winds up to the chapter House is so worn that it really brings home how very ancient this building is, and how many millions of feet must have gone up and down that staircase over the centuries.
The cathedral holds many tombs, Medieval and later. Some of the former still hold traces of their original paintwork. Until the Reformation of Henry Vlll all English churches and cathedrals were a riot of colour inside; it is only since that time that our religious buildings have become plain and unadorned. Renovations still sometimes uncover Medieval artwork hidden under layers of plaster or whitewash, and these are now carefully restored and maintained.
The cathedral clock is fascinating. It dates from the late 1300s (probably 1390) and is unique, for it still has its original face showing the universe with the Earth at its centre.
As with all English cathedrals, there are a multitude of associated buildings in the cathedral close. Several ancient gateways into the close survive, including the 'Penniless Porch' which was deliberately built for beggars to ply their trade. The Cathedral school still operates and you can visit 'Vicars' Close', the longest-inhabited Medieval street in Europe. First built in the 1300s, with chimneys added later, it originally provided 44 dwellings with a common hall over the entrance gate. The hall is joined to the cathedral by a bridge over 'Chaingate'...one reason why the steps to the Chapter House are so worn. Now there are 27 dwellings (some having been joined together to make larger spaces).
The Bishop's Palace lies just outside the cathedral close. This splendid, though much renovated, building was started in 1206 and lies in 14 acres of beautiful gardens (worth visiting for the gardens alone). It is surrounded by a moat, created as part of its defences (the bishop was granted 'licence to crenellate' so the ground are surrounded by crenellated walls and watchtowers).
Many of the original Medieval buildings has gone, although some ruins have been left as romantic follies. But you can still enter the lower part of the palace, which dates back to Medieval times. The second story (first floor) is later.
The palace chapel is small, Medieval and remarkably light and airy for its time. Some original carved roof bosses remain (including the Green Man) but recent unsympathetic painting has made them rather garish in my opinion (although as this is a listed building working under very strict rues I am sure the paintwork is historically accurate.....so presumably all Medieval religious buildings were equally garish at one time!).
But is is the gardens which really impress....and the very clever swans on the moat, who ring a bell when they want to be fed! :-)
Apart from the wonderful architecture and history of the cathedral and its associated buildings, Wells makes an excellent base for exploring this part of Somerset (Glastonbury, Cheddar and the rolling Mendip Hills are all very near). It is large enough to have everything one requires in terms of shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants (including several very good ones) whilst remaining small enough to be friendly, safe and comfortable to walk around even late at night.
I liked Wells very much.
- Pros:Cathedral, architecture, surrounding countryside
- Cons:Parking can be difficult, town can be very busy.
- In a nutshell:Wonderful (and tiny) Medieval city.

Very nice Wells page! I've been there in January and enjoyed the city very much - but I still haven't managed to finish my Wells pages...
Wonderful tips and photos. We're going on a quick stopover in Wells this spring!
very beautiful shots of the cathedral and Bishop's Palace are in travelogues
I've always enjoyed reading your marvellous travel pages! Thanks! :-)

If you want to make your magic strong and gain an eye for week effects that you will no longer use this is a valuable resource. while I do not agree 100% with his thinking on all things he has a way of making you take a different look at the magic you perform. This book will help you make your magic unexplainable to the spectator and this is a powerful thing when done properly. Buy this it is a must have for the library of serious magicians. If your looking to learn tricks this is not the book for you as it will only teach you how to make tricks better or make you want to discard and move to better magic.

While this book wasn't as powerful as Strong Magic, it wasn't over the same topic and so there may not have been as much to provoke me into reading more on the page after that.
With that having been said, it is a terrific book that gives great insights into how to change your magic and is a very good sequel of Strong Magic.
Both Strong Magic and Designing Miracles are must read books if you want to make your performance as strong as possible, and so I suggest that you don't let them float by.
P.S. This also has a great audiobook to go along with it that is done by Darwin Ortiz.
The good and not so good.... Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 3rd, 2014
I have Darwin Ortiz's Strong Magic and it is very excellent. When I learned Mr. Ortiz had released another book on creating strong performances, I was a little reticent about this book but I have enjoyed (and learned) from his writings so I purchased this book.
As I read this book I was pleased (and disappointed) that there were nuances in performing effects still to be learned and applied in a performer's arsenal. The dissapointment I felt was why couldn't these nuances have been included in the earlier book.
Although I would be considered a "hobbist" by "professionals," I have seen many performances by different "professionals" and felt a few created magic while most perform a collage of tricks.
For individuals really serious about creating magic, this book has valuable details to make tricks appear as real magic to your audience.
I consider this book a very excellent follow up to Strong Magic and will help new performers shorten their Hamburg time.

I cannot imagine any thoughtful magician who would not benefit from the lessons taught in this book. Darwin presents his case for the importance of effect design in a manner that is concise, practical and interesting. Many superb examples are given to help the student understand the concepts in play. This book fascinates, educates, and most importantly, makes one think.
Yep! Report this review

One of the many side effects of getting older is that Passover comes around with increasing rapidity – whereas as a child it seemed like an eternity from one Passover to another. Today, it seems that no sooner we dismantle our Succah and put away our Lulav and Etrog then we're already beginning to think about Passover. I do not mean on an individual personal level – I mean in my capacity of running the largest Jewish residential home in the country!
Nightingale accommodates 200 residents who eat in 7 separate dining rooms. Food is prepared in a centralised kitchen and transferred to 7 food service areas and each of these food service areas and our Café and our Staff Dining Room have to be prepared for Passover. I imagine many people would dread the enormous amount of work involved in changing over crockery, cutlery, utensils, etc in their own homes. Imagine this on a large – almost industrial scale. The physical work involved is enormous. Most of Nightingale's staff become involved in this process in one way or the other.
Planning for Passover commences months in advance including the organisation of numerous and simultaneous Sedurim – across the 2 nights, a total of 14. The length of the Seder is adjusted according to the physical and/or intellectual wellbeing of residents in various parts of the Home. However, even for those who may have dementia at varying levels, the Seder is still carried out involving appropriate highlights and also serves the function as acting as a reminiscence experience at the same time.
The vast majority of our staff are not Jewish. Some staff have been working with us for many years; some staff are new and constant staff training is essential. Good friends in the community are assisting this year with training including demonstration seder tables.
Increased costs of the Festival are also significant. But that's another story!
This Pesach we will be using
60 Kilos of Medium Matzo Meal
18 Kilo Cake Meal
40 Kilos of Fine Matzo Meal
10 Kilos Potato Flour
20 kilos Ground Almonds
8 kilos Ground Hazelnuts
6,000 eggs
70 kilos of butter
16 kilos of Charoset
Those residents who live at Nightingale are very much a microcosm of the Jewish community in London at large. As a consequence some of our residents will have not attended a Seder for many years, whereas many others will have. Many of us have our own familial customs and traditions surrounding the Seder and it is of course impossible to incorporate all of these into our very large seder activities.
We are however indebted to a team of friends in the community who assist us year on year in conducting Seders. We are grateful to them for their support.
As the risk of overdoing the superlative, I suspect that Pesach at Nightingale is probably one of the largest Pesach operations in the UK. Jewish schools would be closed over the Pesach period and would not therefore need to be Kosher for Pesach – but a little bit like that famous Windmill Street institution - at Nightingale "we never close"!

SUMMER FILMS: BLOCKBUSTERS; Hollywood Hitches Its Wagon to 'Star Wars'
By BERNARD WEINRAUB
Published: May 2, 1999
HOLLYWOOD— NIKKI ROCCO, the president of distribution at Universal Pictures, and her colleagues are nervous. Who can blame them?
Surveying the summer-movie landscape, the studio had at first intended to open its high-profile romance ''Notting Hill,'' starring Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant, a month after the release, on May 19, of George Lucas's ''Star Wars: Episode I -- The Phantom Menace,'' one of the most anticipated films in years. But then the Universal executives sat down, took a second look and decided on a more innovative, if riskier, plan: move ''Notting Hill,'' which is about a Hollywood star and a British bookshop owner who fall in love, right into the eye of the storm. Now, it will open only one week after the new ''Star Wars,'' when frenzy over the science-fiction film is likely to be at a peak.
''We looked at this long and hard and decided, what better way to capitalize on the fabulous box-office business than to be able to open on that weekend,'' said Ms. Rocco. ''The target audience for 'Star Wars' is young males. 'Notting Hill' has definite female interest. And not everyone in North America will go and see 'Star Wars.' ''
Maybe not, but the $115 million Lucas film -- which is being released by 20th Century Fox as the first of three ''Star Wars'' prequels, tracing the life of Anakin Skywalker, Luke's dad -- has generated enormous early interest. So much interest, in fact, that not only rival studios but also theater owners across the country have had to alter the way they make decisions for the summer.
''We've gotten more phone calls on 'Star Wars' than any movie we've played,'' said Mike Patrick, president of Carmike Cinemas, which is one of America's top theater chains, based in Columbus, Ga. ''But different types of phone calls: corporations want to buy out the theaters for one or two shows; people want to buy 100 tickets at one time. What's going to happen -- I think, I hope -- is that other pictures will capitalize on the success of 'Star Wars.' ''
For the rival Hollywood studios, the magic word is ''counterprogramming'' -- that is, positioning romances, comedies and arty films against the ''Star Wars'' juggernaut, rather than going head to head with it. The result of this thinking is that when it comes to movies, the summer of 1999 is not going to be a traditional summer.
Unlike last year, when ''Armageddon,'' ''Godzilla,'' ''Lethal Weapon 4'' and ''Deep Impact'' squared off, this year won't be offering an assortment of big-budget, big-star extravaganzas from which to choose -- even though just as many movies are being released over all.
''You saw 'Star Wars' coming for a couple of years,'' said Joe Roth, chairman of Walt Disney Studios. ''It immediately cut off your appetite to get involved in a really expensive movie because you're eliminating the first half of the summer, between Memorial Day and July 4.''
Mr. Roth's studio, of course, does have several films to present this summer, among them the animated ''Tarzan'' (June 18), with music by Phil Collins, and a drama, ''Instinct'' (June 4), with Anthony Hopkins and Cuba Gooding Jr. ''You don't want to be out there with a big movie,'' said Mr. Roth. '' 'Titanic,' for example, just suffocated the marketplace for big movies both here and overseas for weeks. There's a real chance you'd be swept away.''
In any case, said Lorenzo di Bonaventura, president of production at Warner Brothers, Hollywood's appetite for big-budget films has diminished. ''It's so hard to make these movies, and it gets harder and harder because of cost and attendant problems,'' he said. ''The process can be really unpleasant, it's often hard to make a profit and the Internet has altered the way films are put together. You can't expose your film to preview audiences the way you did before. Veteran filmmakers used to use that process, but now you're at risk of people saying on the Internet that the film doesn't work, or the ending doesn't work. You can't experiment in the ways you did before.''
Like their neighbors at Universal, Mr. di Bonaventura and his colleagues at Warner Brothers are especially nervous. If there is a ''big film'' this summer beyond ''Star Wars,'' it's their ''Wild, Wild West,'' directed by Barry Sonnenfeld. An action fantasy based loosely on the 60's television western, it stars, among others, Will Smith, Kevin Kline, Salma Hayek and Kenneth Branagh. The film is in the midst of last-minute reshoots, there are rumors of problems and the budget is spiraling (Warner Brothers insists that it's only a little more than $105 million).
The counterprogramming strategy is based on recent history: successful films like ''As Good as It Gets'' and ''Good Will Hunting'' opened just before ''Titanic'' at the end of 1997, and the John Travolta hit ''Phenomenon'' arrived at the same time that ''Independence Day'' did in the summer earlier that year.
Immediately after ''Star Wars,'' the studios are releasing several comedies, including ''Austin Powers II: The Spy Who Shagged Me,'' a sequel to the successful spy spoof starring Mike Myers (June 11); ''South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut,'' based on the hit Comedy Central television series (June 18), and ''Big Daddy,'' in which Adam Sandler plays a man forced to raise a little boy (June 25).
Dreamworks is perhaps showing the greatest counterprogramming courage -- or greatest temerity -- by releasing a low-budget romance, ''The Love Letter,'' in the same week that the Lucas film opens.

The Giants' victory tour is in Manhattan. As many as a million people are expected to cheer the Super Bowl champs in a ticker-tape parade.
The team cleaned out lockers at Giants Stadium and got fitted for Super Bowl rings this morning. Quarterback and Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning says he'll probably wear his ring for a few days and then put it away for safe keeping.
Many of the players have cameras to record the parade through the city's "Canyon of Heroes."
A separate afternoon rally is scheduled for Giants Stadium.

Great relaxing experience. Rusty is very knowledgeable and friendly. Most important no pressure to sale. All in all a great experience.
Good prompt service
Rodney, the sales manager did an excellent job of making sure I was properly taken care of while shopping for my vehicle. Chris Drinnon did a great job for being a newer salesmen. I will be taking my mustang I purchased from Honda of Morristown nowhere but there for its life of service, due to the excellent staff and warranty coverage offered
People were nice and not pushy to by or add extras. Joe Doherty was very helpful and one of the best sales reps i have ever dealt with. I did not buy the vehicle because of some process issues around how taxes were collected for an out of state customer for a cash purchase. Still a very posit Read More...
Dreaded the thought of new car shopping until we met Chris,Russell,Kibby, and Glen. No pressure. Full explanations on all aspects of our new CRV. Will definitely recommend Morristown Honda.
It was great working with Clint Hawk and Kibbee McCoy. They were very thorough and accommodating. Would definitely go back for our next vehicle.
Honda CR V - I went looking for a used Kia...drove it and did not like it. Asked for my deposit back. Greg was the person in charge of doing that. He asked me to just sit in the CR V in the show room. It was so nice. I asked if he had red. He called Brandon, my salesman, asking him to bring that car up. To my surprise it was a Garnet color. I am Florida State University Alumni...love the color. Drove it. There was no pushing just, kind and caring sales. I have a 5x8 enclosed trailer. I was worried about pulling it up the mountains as I live in NC for 5 months and 7 in Florida. On Facebook I asked my friends for comments. My engineer high school classmate said no worry. I must say this car is so much fun to drive, handles the curves with ease. Runs up the mountains with ease. It was a long ride from Highlands, NC but so worth the trip. Brandon took time to show me how to work all the parts of the car. He has called me to see if I had any questions since I purchased. I have plenty of room for my 4 yorkies and one cute cat.
Me and my girlfriend went to Farris Jeep Dodge and were pressured to buy different vehicles that didn't suit our needs. We came to Honda the same day and were greeted by Joshua Karup. We didn't feel pressured at all the entire time. They let us sit back and relax as we talked to our own personal ban Read More...
These guys, especially my salesperson Brandon Hochhalter, made it easy to buy a car from them even though I was shopping mostly online from a distance. Brandon worked hard to find and deliver the Civic I was looking for at a great price without playing games. Love my new EX T!

Recipe: Lemon Frittata with Leeks and Goat Cheese
7 eggs
1 Meyer lemon, zested
3 ounces goat cheese
Olive oil
2 large leeks, cut lengthwise and rinsed
1/3 cup Italian parsley, chopped
Salt and fresh ground black pepper
Pre-heat the broiler. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until slightly bubbly and well-mixed, then stir in the lemon zest. Crumble in the goat cheese.
Heat about a tablespoon of olive oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. It can be cast iron or another metal; just make sure it can go in the oven. Trim the leeks of any dry or browned edges on the green tops, then slice the remaining stalk into half moons. Toss everything into the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, for about ten minutes or until the leeks are softened. Stir in the parsley and cook just until wilted. Remove from the heat and add salt and pepper to taste. Let cool for just a minute or two, then pour the cooked leeks into the bowl with the eggs and stir.
Put the skillet back on the heat and film lightly with just a bit more olive oil. Pour the egg and leek mixture in and cook over medium heat for about 10-15 minutes, or until the frittata has mostly set. Use a spatula to lift up the edges and make sure it's cooking evenly, letting the uncooked eggs run down into the bottom of the pan.
When the frittata has set, put under the broiler for 3-5 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly puffy. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Flip out onto a platter and serve immediately.

Hundreds of volunteers turned out on Earth Day to launch the first part of a major reforestation project at the Oaks Landfill in Laytonsville. The project was made possible by a $25,000 grant from the Chesapeake Bay Trust to the Montgomery Soil Conservation District.
The corps of volunteers, that included County Executive Ike Leggett, students from local high schools, Master Gardeners and other residents of all ages, planted 600 trees on a portion of the 10-acre site adjacent to the landfill that operated from 1982 to 1997. Eventually, the entire 10 acres is slated for tree planting.
Taking time out from planting, Leggett talked with various volunteers. Among them were Sonia D'Agnese and her children, Ugo and Enia.

BMW hopes to sell 100,000 electric cars in Europe by 2020
Here's how tough getting green may be.
BMW, which bills itself as the "ultimate driving machine," wants to sell 100,000 electric vehicles a year in Europe by 2020 to meet tougher emissions standards there.
Likewise, fuel-economy standards in the U.S.take a huge leap in 2025 – to an average of 54.5 miles per gallon – probably forcing manufacturers such as BMW to sell more electric vehicles here as well.
The company's goal in Europe appears to be ambitious, to say the least. Europeans have long preferred diesel-powered cars over other green alternatives such as hybrids and electrics.
Barely 10,000 electric cars were sold in 2012, for example, in France,Germany and the United Kingdom combined, according to Wikipedia.
In addition, the best-selling electric car in the U.S.– the extended-range Chevrolet Volt – reported sales of about 23,094 vehicles in 2013, down slightly from 2012.
Nonetheless, BMW intends to increase production of its new i3 and i8 electric cars in anticipation of selling 100,000 electric vehicles annually.
BMW wants to cut its average carbon-dioxide emissions from 133 grams per kilometer in 2013 to 105 grams per kilometer in 2020. The European Union has set a standard of 95 grams per kilometer for 2021.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- South Carolina coach Dawn Staley is not
easing into her new position, as her Gamecocks will face all Final
Four teams from last spring.
Staley announced the schedule Thursday. The Gamecocks will take
on Connecticut, Stanford and LSU at the Colonial Life Arena, and
face NCAA champ Tennessee in Knoxville. South Carolina starts the season on the road Nov. 16 against Penn State. The Gamecocks open the home season against Clemson on Nov. 19.
South Carolina's schedule also includes a Thanksgiving tournament trip Cancun, Mexico. The other teams competing there are Fordham, North Carolina Wilmington and Ohio. Staley was named Gamecocks coach in May. She spent part of the summer as assistant coach for the gold-medal winning U.S. women's basketball team at the Beijing Olympics.
