There are reports President Bashar al-Assad has finally figured out a way to end the turmoil in Syria. Yesterday, hundreds of thousands were again in the streets protesting the military assault on civilians who dare make clear their real feelings toward the government. many held up signs denouncing Assad, "Bashar Is A Vampire" being a typical comment on their beloved ruler. Over 1,400 are dead due to the protests and the economy is collapsing. After all if troops blast homes, destroy crops and animals and force factories to close eventually there will not be enough food. However, Bashar has finally found a solution to this problem. Among choices currently being discussed in the Cabinet are:
1. Kill several million people which should result in fewer being in the streets to complain.
2. Send millions to the border of Israel and shove them across it.
3. Place millions on a flotilla and send it toward Israel.
4. Get Biblical and kill every new born.
5. Become a conservative Muslim and have any woman in the streets sent to the nearest brothel.
I trust the president will consider these fresh ideas before taking any other action.

Later than I originally planned while I was in Stockholm last month, I'm sharing some new Full of Keys and Anni Bernhard news today, my first of the new year.
While it's not exactly the first thing I thought I'd be writing about Anni this year while on that long SAS flight home from Stockholm, after over eight days there, it's still well worth you knowing about, especially if you are free this Friday night in Sweden, and most especially if you'll already be in Gotland.
The exact details of the BIG NEWS I have surrounding Anni and her band will have to wait for another day, since I've been sworn to secrecy, but trust me, when it comes out, it will be VERY exciting news for her fans and music-lovers everywhere.
In the meantime, though, until the time is right to spill the beans, I'm happy to tell you that Full Of Keys will be performing Friday night in Visby, Gotland, the hometown of singer Anni's clever and oh-so creative manager, Andreas Jismark.
The performance will be part of an exclusive visit to Visby for rehearsals for what may/could be an upcoming U.S. tour that... well again, I can't talk about right now.
FoK will be in Gotland during much of the Spring recording its second album and shooting some videos, so if you happen to be minding your own business one day, and happen to come across a very beautiful brunette somewhere singing with verve and style, please make sure that you look around carefully for any film cameras and lighting technicians BEFORE rushing over to say hello to Anni! :)
Friday is my birthday, but since I can't be there for obvious reasons to enjoy the music, be sure to make enough noise to compensate for my absence.
And don't forget to toast me with a cold Samuel Adams!

Discussion in 'The Trash Can' started by triple_toe, Mar 5, 2014.
Well, we always knew he was fierce!
Biting? Seriously?
This could have been avoided. Remember Johnny - granny gums!
Wearing fur all the time, the beast was bound to take him over.
I hope Johnny and Victor can work all this out.
Hopefully they both can learn from their mistake(s) and this will only be a one time thing. Because imho marriages where this is conflict/chaos/fighting do no work out in the end.
Btw, Johnny seems to have been very happy and content ever since he got married.
That is alright. No big deal. They will kiss and make up.
Sweet Jesus. At first I thought that this was a joke.
always entertaining stuff from Weir.
Is he taking lessons from Mike Tyson now?
Funny, I just had the same thought: Does Victor still have both his ears?
COME ON, JOHNNY ..... biting? Seriously? You're better than that .. or, at least, I "thought" you were.
Seriously? I can think of more than a few male-female marriages that fit that description...and then some.
Lorena Bobbit comes to mind!
lol, didn't she cut off her husband's penis?
I know a few man-woman relationships where it's the woman who wears the pants. Come on Johnny, I thought you had more imagination than that!
Did anyone save a copy of the police report? Victor Voronov tweeted it out himself amazingly enough, then deleted it. The tweet was preserved here but not the attached document:
All I can remember about the police report/restraining order was that it described Johnny as bald.
He's asking for advice....should he be like Rhianna and forgive? Does that make Johnny like Chris Brown? Pure insanity!!
he gives new meaning to the phrase "i'ma cut you"
Wait...he's a lawyer, he should know you don't solicit legal advice like this.
But I suppose that's why he deleted the tweet? Still, as a lawyer, he shouldn't have tweeted it in the first place. Jeez. I can already picture my lawyer friends going Victor's not much of a lawyer, I guess...
Wow, Some weird news been comin' out on the heels of Olympics
Wonder where he bit him?
Who says two cannot wear the same pants, Johnny! Just make it bigger.
Frankly, I'm finding this thread extremely disturbing.
So, domestic violence is a light-hearted issue now, just because it's Johnny Weir, is it? It's not a serious issue, just because it's Johnny Weir, is it? It's something to be flippant and make jokes about, just because it's Johnny Weir, is it?
I think that if Johnny had a wife who would have been the victim people would take this more seriously?
On the other hand, they both love fame and being in the public eye, so I can't help but wonder if this was just a publicity stunt.
This. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
You are so right. There is nothing funny in domestic violence.
All I can say is, this doesn't sound good. :-(
Having lived it I agree sincerely with that statement.

The effect of metamictization on the Raman spectroscopy of the uranyl titanate mineral davidite (La,Ce)(Y,U,Fe2+)(Ti,Fe3+)20(O,OH)38
Frost, Ray L. & Reddy, B. Jagannadha (2011) The effect of metamictization on the Raman spectroscopy of the uranyl titanate mineral davidite (La,Ce)(Y,U,Fe2+)(Ti,Fe3+)20(O,OH)38. Radiation Effects and Defects in Solids, 166, pp. 133-136.
Accepted Version
(PDF 233kB)
Raman spectra of the uranyl titanate mineral davidite-(La) (La,Ce)(Y,U,Fe2+)(Ti,Fe3+)20(O,OH)38 were analysed and related to the mineral structure. Observed bands are attributed to the TiO and (UO2)2+ stretching and bending vibrations, U-OH bending vibrations, H2O and (OH)- stretching, bending and libration modes. U-O bond lengths in uranyls and O-H…O bond lengths are calculated from the wavenumbers assigned to the stretching vibrations. Raman bands of davidite-(La) are in harmony with those of the uranyl oxyhydroxides. The mineral davidite-(La) is metamict as is evidenced by the intensity of the UO stretching and bending modes being of lower intensity than expected and with bands that are significantly broader.

UPDATE: Puerto Vallarta restaurant damaged overnight; Window broken, suspect takes off
UPDATE: 9:55am
The windows damaged at the restaurant overnight were dealt a more serious blow than first thought. It was more than just one window.
"The incident happened at 3:20AM, An hour later the Seattle Police showed up," said restaurant owner Eduardo Morales.
They broke one window and cracked a second one and did at least $2000 damage. One of the windows was a themopane and will be more expensive to repair.
The damage should be repaired in the next couple of days by White Center Glass.
Original Post
During the early morning hours on Saturday, June 28, 2014, the Puerta Vallarta Mexican restaurant in the West Seattle Junction was damaged by a rock thrown through a front window. An eyewitness who was across the street noticed a man wearing a big red hoodie and a white bandana on his face throw the large rock at the window smashing it.
He slammed the rock hard so hard the rock broke into pieces and then he took off running down the street where a black shiny Cadillac was waiting to rush him away. The witness called 911 to report the incident. The other restaurant workers came out to chase the the guy but he got away before they could reach him.
Seattle Police searched the area but have no further information at this time.

This article is provided to FT.com readers by mergermarket—a news service focused on providing actionable, origination intelligence to M&A professionals. www.mergermarket.com
Dow Chemical Co. (NYSE: DOW), the Midland, Michigan-based chemical giant, has retained Citi to sell its polypropylene licensing and catalyst business, two industry sources claiming knowledge of the situation told mergermarket.
The business has USD 1bn in revenue and about USD 50m in EBITDA, both sources said. Dow Chemical and Citi declined to comment.
Both industry sources said the sale process was at an early stage. The first source said he did not expect private equity to be interested. "It will be more of a strategic deal. It's a tougher asset for a financial buyer," he said. "I don't know if the management team comes with it."
A third industry source, who had not heard about the sale, agreed that the business would be unlikely to interest PE firms. He said the unit comprises the old Dow Chemical metalicine business, not the Rohm & Haas business, which Dow acquired in March 2009. Based on the slim margins, the source said the unit is "a commodity business obviously."
The third source said few people have a better cost position than Dow in the polypropylene space. Therefore, bidders would be likely to include large petrochemical companies such as Shell, SABIC and Lyondell Basell.
The business will probably not fetch a traditional industry multiple because it is so highly commoditized, the third source said. In fact, the source speculated that there could be a chance Dow would end up entering a joint venture instead of selling the unit. "That happens quite a bit," he said. For instance, BP and NOVA Chemicals created a 50-50 joint venture in November 2004 to combine their European interests in Styrene Polymers.
Dow has said publicly that it plans to move downstream into higher-margin chemical businesses and away from lower margin businesses. In March of 2010, it announced it would sell its Styron division to Bain Capital Partners in a USD 1.63bn deal.
"We are committed to further focusing our portfolio by shedding non-strategic assets that can no longer compete for growth resources inside the company," Dow Chemical Chairman Andrew Liveris was reported to have said in a statement at the time.
The polypropylene business is part of Dow's plastics portfolio, according to the company's web site. It offers customers products from traditional polypropylene resins to a line of performance polymers, the web site said.
On 25 March, Dow announced it was expanding its catalyst system offering with a product designed specifically for high melt flow applications. It is the first product in Dow's new CONSISTA portfolio of advanced catalyst systems, the company said.

A window into health in California.
« Full episode for
Feb 21-23, 2014
After one of the biggest beef recalls in history, a Petaluma meat processor is getting bought out. Earlier this month, the USDA recalled nearly 9 million pounds of beef from Rancho Feeding Corporation. More than 1,600 food distributors in the U.S. and Canada are asking consumers to return products from beef jerky to Hot Pockets. There wasn't a lot of explanation as to why, other than to say diseased cows were processed without the requisite federal supervision. But the recall and the slaughterhouse's closure put Northern California ranchers and dairy farmers in a bind. We talk with KQED reporter Mina Kim who has been following the story.
RACHAEL MYROW: So, tell us about this recall.
MINA KIM: So, Rancho processes both older dairy cows and these higher-end meats, sort of these pasture -raised beef cattle. And initially, back in January, 40,000 pounds of beef was affected. So we're talking about a handful of stores. Then, two weeks ago, this recall expands to 9 million -- nearly 9 million -- pounds of beef processed over the course of an entire year. And so, as you can imagine, the number of stores affected has grown exponentially. We're talking now about more than 1,500 distributors, both in the U.S. and in Canada. Nestle Hot Pockets were made with some meat that was processed at Rancho. And as a result, stores like Wal-Mart are having to pull Hot Pockets from their shelves as well as things like beef jerky, hamburger patties and taquitos.
MYROW: Now we should point out that there are no reported illnesses linked to Rancho's meat, but the USDA is conducting two investigations, including one by its Office of Inspector General, and that's not something that happens a lot in the meat industry.
KIM: Right, you've got two offices in the USDA: You've got Food Safety and Inspection Service and the Office of Inspector General conducting separate investigations of Rancho. And what that suggests is that the problems are very serious, and potentially that there was some illegal activity going on. Here's how Tony Corbo -- he is with the consumer advocacy group Food & Water Watch, based in D.C. -- here's how he puts it:
CORBO: Either there was not proper inspection being done, or the inspectors there were trying to do their jobs and were impeded in one way or another by their supervisors within the USDA or by the plant itself.
KIM: Now, we did get a statement from Food Safety and Inspection Service saying that the company circumvented inspections in some way, but they're not saying much more than that. So, there are a lot of questions still swirling around this whole recall, because by law USDA inspectors are supposed to be there whenever meat is processed. So the question is: How could for a whole year potentially diseased animals be processed at this plant?
MYROW: So now new news: a well-regarded local purveyor, Marin Sun Farms, has stepped up and said they'll buy the processing plant. Why in the world would they want to take over a plant with this kind of trouble?
KIM: Since this is the only plant in the North Bay, right now because it is closed under these investigations with the USDA, farmers and ranchers are driving hours. They're driving to Eureka or Los Banos to get their meat processed, and it's had a real impact not just on their bottom lines, but also on their whole philosophy of what they want to do in terms of locally raised food. Tara Smith is with Tara Firma Farms in Petaluma and she's one of the ranchers that's affected by this. So, as you can imagine, she's very happy about Marin Sun Farms applying to buy this place.
SMITH: We're all about local, and going 2½ to five or six hours away defeats a big chunk of the purpose, and so it's just quite a relief. I just hope it takes fewer months than what it could possibly take to have that up and running.
MYROW: So the latest development, the purchase, has got to be a big relief to dairy farmers and ranchers, but Rancho Feeding Corp. isn't out of hot water yet?
KIM: No, a USDA spokesman told us that the investigations will continue even after the sale is complete. In the meantime some ranchers, especially the higher-end meat producers, are trying to get their meat released from this recall. I spoke with renowned rancher Bill Niman, who could potentially take a $300,00 to $400,000 hit from this recall because he has about 100,000 pounds of meat in cold storage that was processed at some point in this facility in 2013. And so, there are still a lot of ways that farmers and ranchers are affected by this, even with this sale.
MYROW: KQED's Mina Kim, thank you for talking with us.
KIM: You're welcome Rachael.

A peek behind the podium
Harvard Gazette — Presidential debates make for great political theater, a passable night of television viewing for even the most apathetic voter.
But for the candidates, they're the culmination of weeks of rhetorical blood, mental sweat, and, sometimes, literally tears.
In other words, a group of veteran presidential preppers said at Harvard Kennedy School (HKS) Wednesday night, Barack Obama or Mitt Romney might be forgiven for betraying brief signs of fatigue or annoyance in that evening's first presidential debate.read more

Legalizing Oppression
Posted on Feb 9, 2014
By Chris Hedges
(Page 3)
In her own trial the government presented audio recordings of her meetings with Abdel Rahman in the prison in Rochester, Minn. The taping of her conversations, which before the federal Patriot Act would have violated attorney-client privilege, is now legal.
She said of the 9/11 attacks, "We've never explored why. Why does this happen? Why, what compelled 21 young men to give up their lives to do this thing? No, we've never, we don't want to look at that. We don't want to know why."
"We continue the facade that we are fair," she said, "that we have this Constitution we respect, and we can rely on, and that we can embrace. You can't do that, that's my constitutional rights, etc. When really they're [our constitutional rights] a puff of smoke. They don't really exist."
I asked her what she had learned from being incarcerated.

"You're always on the cusp of doing the wrong thing, or getting in trouble for something," she said. "I wrote a letter for a woman, and in order to make a copy I emailed it to Ralph." She went on: "It was basically asking a judge to stay any decision because they were going to take all of her pension as payment for what she had done. And she wanted to get this letter in right away. So I emailed it to [Ralph] and for that I lost, I think, about three months of commissary, and email."
She said, "It's almost impossible to organize prisoners in this day and age to stand up, to become a unit, to say no to certain things."
"I found it virtually impossible to convince the women at Carswell that they should not be always thinking that what happened to them was personal," she said. "They should be looking at political answers, that where they ended up was not because of some personal lack or weakness but because the political system has designated them to be there as one of the kick-arounds, as one of the not-for-consumption."
"Why do you think that is?" I asked.
"I think ... television has a lot to do with it," she said. "There's a certain idealized life. People that are in trouble get there because they have done it to themselves." She said that many of the women incarcerated with her lacked self-esteem.
"The women I've left behind" are "the one real shadow on my tremendous joy at being home," she said. "I can no longer even communicate with [them] because the conditions of my probation are that I may not associate with any felons. So I can't even write to dear Mara, what happened with your case? Someone who got 20 years because she sold some heroin and then a guy died a week later, and they used that murder to enhance her sentence, completely contrary to everything we ever learned."
One of the saddest moments in prison, she said, was mail call. The names of those who had letters would be read. Some women "waited for their name to be called and it never happened." Those who did not get mail or visits, she said, "become more and more institutionalized."
"The world of the prison is the only world; the outside world does not exist for them anymore," she said.
"I'm not waiting for the working class to make the revolution," she said. "I think that's a day long gone by. That might have happened in the '30s. It didn't. We have to look at a new way, some new force."
She said that although she is disbarred she will continue to be a catalyst for change. She quoted Rosa Luxemburg, who said that radicals should at once alleviate human misery and do political work. Stewart said she will continue to fight for the some 150 political prisoners, mostly African-Americans, who have been in prison for decades because they belonged to radical groups such as the Black Panthers or the Black Liberation Army.
"My other goal is not to turn my back on the women in prison," she said.
She stressed the importance of community.
"The most important thing is don't let yourself get isolated," she said. "Don't feel that you're the only one in the room that thinks this way and you must be crazy or something, and they're going to get you because you're the only one. Find the other people who think like you. They're out there. There are people out there. There are groups. There's everyone from the raging grannies right up to the very serious lefties, but there's somebody out there, make sure you're not all alone. That's the worst part of what we face these days. As long as you're with other people you have a fighting chance, and you can organize more people."
"This is a pretty loveless world we live in," she concluded. "We have lots of romantic love. We have lots of 'Sex and the City.' But real love, love that is the kind that saves people, and makes the world better, and makes you go to bed with a smile on your face, that love is lacking greatly. You have to search for that."

text: So I've been on here a while and I've had my wrx for the better part of 7 months and in those seven months I have put 12k on the car. Mostly cruising around and highway driving because I bought the car in florida and drove it up to illinois. Anyway. The car is currently stage 1+ with the intake and I have an exhaust. Earlier this week I noticed a knocking/clinking noise coming from the engine. Not good. I took it to my dealership(I am away for school so It isn't my hometown dealership) and they said I have a blown rod bearing and it is not covered under warranty because the ecu has been modified. Now, I was wondering if I took the car back to my hometown took everything off and took it to that dealership would work. Is my car flagged? Can I do this? help please. I don't want to throw more cash into this car

Just wondering if it's possible to have a clean house with a toddler home all day long. If so, what does it entail? How much time do you spend cleaning?
Between cleaning and time spent playing with your dc, and keeping them fed, clean, and safe, how much time do you have for yourself (including showers, internet, working out, going out with friends, time with your dp, etc)?
I have a 6yo (in school) and a very very active 23mo. The last week or so, I've had a schedule that gives me about 30 minutes of "me time" (including internet, showers, etc). I have time with the kids, and time cooking (I do spend a bit of time cooking) and cleaning. We had a couple of outings over the weekend (which aren't on the schedule). I totally don't think it's possible to keep the house clean, even spending all my spare time cleaning.
(I know this schedule is not sustainable, I just want to see if it is possible for me to keep my house clean.)
Becky, partner to Teague, SAHM to Keagan (7yo), Jonah (2yo)
I mean... we strive for simplicity so our house isn't usually messy. There isn't a ton of clutter, at least in the main living areas (aka the areas people see if they visit!!) And I guess one advantage of having a toddler who doesn't play, is that virtually never are there toys just strewn around the house.
So I would call our house 'tidy' but far from clean. There is caked-on dust under anything that the vacuum can't reach with a quick swipe... and speaking of vacuums, DS has major auditory issues so we can't always vacuum and the floors are just GROSS. The windows haven't been washed since we moved in ~5 years ago & there are remnants of cobwebs on the walls/ceiling in some rooms. We also generally have a pile of dirty dishes near the sink and the toilet needs to be scrubbed if we ever have company (please don't ever drop in on me unannounced!!!!!!)
Bottom line, we are able to make the main rooms sort of presentable if we are expecting company -- we hide our filth well -- but no, I would not consider it remotely clean on a daily basis.
Oh, and this is with two stay-at-home parents right now (though I do WAH) and only ONE kid... Seriously, I cannot even explain how much energy DS takes... mental energy especially... so if there is opportunity to either spend 20 minutes reading or the same 20 minutes cleaning, I choose reading because otherwise there would be lots of screaming (DS) and crying (me!)... I won't get into how much time to myself I get, because that's a major issue right now.
My house is tidy and the main areas are cleaned regularly....I could definitely do more dusting and things like window washing, floor mopping, dust bunny patrol, etc. And I really need to be more on the ball with laundry!
My DD is 25 months, very active but also very happy to entertain herself, so she makes lots of mess but I also get enough time during the day to clean it up. We are working on her helping to put her toys away as well.
Our mornings are generally reserved for activities, playdates, the library, etc, so we are often out of the house and not making any messes. I try to do at least a load of laundry every day. After afternoon nap and snacks, DD helps me prep supper and then plays while I do a big tidy before DH gets home - I pick up all the toys in the living room, tidy the kitchen a bit etc. After supper and bedtime, I clean the kitchen, do the dishes, straighten her playroom and set up little scenes with her toys for the next day. Then I'll fold any laundry that needs it. I just try to set us up for a tidy house in the morning,
About once a week I tackle upstairs - sweeping, tidying, putting away laundry, etc. I try to clean the bathroom a little bit every time she is in the bathtub, or a bit at a time as needed.
As for "me" time, like I say - DD is generally happy to play with minimal input from me (I don't really get involved in her play, but am there if she wants to serve me a cup of "tea", or whatever). So, I get a fair bit of time during the day to knit, internet, read, etc. Our playdates are with friends and their children, so that is a bit of social time for me. And I usually knit with friends over coffee for a couple hours on the weekend. I usually get 3-4 hours at night after she is in bed. My husband works very long hours, otherwise I could work more time for me in there. I usually take my showers in the morning while she brushes her teeth and reads a book.
I am 5 months pregnant with DC #2 and the past few months have been ROUGH - my house really went downhill. But, we're starting to get back in the swing of things again.
The biggest tricks that work for me in keeping things reasonably clean:
1) I try not to have too much *stuff*
2) I try to touch it once - once I pick something up I try to put it where it really belongs instead of just shuffling it to another wrong spot
Beth . wife to DH and Mama to DD1 (May 1-09) and DD2 (Nov 2-11)
When we are busy and out of the house all day then no I don't clean that day. But at the same time the house is usually less messy because we've been out of the house all day.
Our routine is:
7:30 kids up and can watch one show each, I take this time to have a quick shower and start breakfast
8:15 breakfast
8:30 get dressed, brush teeth
9am the kids play while I get stuff ready to head out
By 9:30 we can be out the door
Noon lunch (either at home or I've packed a lunch)
1pm nap for ds2 (either in the car, stroller or at home)
2pm craft time/outside play time/ baking time
3pm I take something out for dinner
5pm I start making dinner while the kids are playing
6pm dinner
6:30 I clean up, kids are playing
7:30 we start bedtime routine, snack, pj's, teeth, stories
8:30 or 9pm lights out
Through out the day I do mini clean ups. While they are in the bath (three times a week or so) I clean the bathroom. While they are having a snack I usually clean the kitchen. (they have 2 or 3 snacks a day, so I clean the kitchen that many times, for about 5 minutes each time.
I really wouldn't call myself over schedules as I don't actually follow a set schedule and things change all the time, and I just go with the flow. I'm also not a neat freak, but when something starts to look dirty or unorganized it starts to bug me and I have to clean it.
I don't think it's realistic to have a spotless house with a toddler but I think if you keep clean up times frequent but short, things end up cleaner and you don't feel stressed out or tired from cleaning.

Raising 2 peanuts. #3 due in June
My house was always clean until now, this pregnancy is kicking my butt. The only way I managed to keep it clean was with a good rhythm throughout our day with certain times where the cleaning was scheduled in and automatically happened. I drag the kids through the house while I clean, sometimes they get involved, sometimes they will play with a car or something. I noticed that if I left my kids to play while I cleaned, they would just make a crazy mess. We also have done some exteme decluttering so there isnt a ton for them to chuck around the house...which picking up took away all of my cleaning time.
start with a flexible schedule every day and see how that goes.
Nope - big 'ol mess around here. We moved a couple weeks ago & are FAR from being unpacked so there are boxes everywhere on top of our regular messes & we don't have a dishwasher hooked up yet (we are NOT people who can stay on top of washing dishes easily). Plus dh works from home & although I love him he is a slob who doesn't pick up after himself very well.
I'm hoping once we are fully unpacked (in 3 years from now!) that everything will have a place & for the first time in our lives it will actually be fairly easily to clean up. Our big problem all along has been that there was just not a place for things so we were constantly living with piles of camping gear in the dining room & tools in the kitchen, etc. Sigh.
Doula mama to dd (Oct '11) & ds (Oct '08) and expecting (Apr '17)
yes and no.
yes in the sense that sure, i have plenty of time to clean if i rotate areas of the house. like, one day i can just mass vacuum the first floor, another day i can do our bedroom, i can clean the bathroom while she takes a bath (booooring to just sit there staring at her...and she likes long baths.)
no in the sense that i'm a horrible cleaner to begin with (i'm more of a surface, make-it-look-nice, never dust, and don't check the corners kind of cleaner) and since i've been preggos it's only gotten worse.
i've found that dd entertains herself far better when i'm busy doing something. it's when i sit down to read or do internet that she's climbing all over me.
naptime is my alone time, showers i either take with her or have her hang out in the bathroom while i do it.
It's clean in that it's not *dirty* per se. I mean, I could probably clean a little more and more thoroughly and it is NEVER tidy around here but surfaces are generally clean and floors are generally vacuumed and such. I'd say that I spend a total of 45 min to 1.5 hr/day doing household chores like laundry, cleaning, dishes, etc. Usually closer to 45 min than 1.5 hr. DH spends about 45 min to an hour. We do chores while playing with kids and chatting and multitasking though.
I grew up in a clean, tidy, very organized home. I have no idea how it stayed that way. I seriously can't remember anything about the practical logistics of day-to-day living. My own room was always somewhat of a battle though as I'm kind of a... collector ;)
My son is almost 3 and I finally figured out the secret to keeping a house presentable at all times:
1. Keep baskets nearby to throw toys in.
2. Do deep cleaning and scrubbing when he's bed at night.
3. Once every month or every two months, take two days off to do house maintenance stuff (paint, landscape, etc).
4. Before bed, we play the clean up game. We sing songs as we put away our toys and clean our room before bed.
5. I vacuum daily too keep the clean fresh.
6. When he naps on the weekends, I fold laundry while watching a movie. that way I don't have to deal with him diving into the piles of clothes.
7. Lots and lots of crockpot meals

sometimes? sorta?
i'm a woh parent with a sahd partner. we have a 19 month old.. what we do is enlist her 'help.' i hope like heck this is not a phase that will pass, but this child will happily 'clean' alongside me. i get her to hand me dishes from the dishwasher (with knives removed first) and it takes forever to do it but it serves the purpose of keeping her entertained and getting the house cleaned. she'll wipe stuff with a cloth, etc. and move a broom around when i do. we all pick up stuff and i have taught her that a book goes in the basket in order to read a different one. then when she goes to bed i'll get up and do some other stuff.
i wouldn't eat off my floor, but it's relatively clean. dh does some but not much even though he's a sahd b/c he does farm work in the evenings and on weekends while i play with dd or clean with her or both. he does most of the cooking during the week.
our standards are kind of in the middle for clean. no crumbs, food, or dirty dishes (unless i am too tired to deal). toilets get cleaned once a week.
we take shoes off, and no animals inside, so that cuts down majorly on dirt. i never seem to have time to put laundry away, though. dd can be employed in folding washcloths, but there is just something in that child that cannot deal with folded clothes. those must be destroyed and strewn about no matter what.
eta: ok, how nuts is it that i never thought about cleaning the bathroom while dd takes a bath. i learn so much from you mamas!!!!!!!
Is it getting lonely in the echo chamber yet?
I guess it depends on your definition of clean. My house is tidy, but I rarely have time to do any deep cleaning. About once a month I have a cleaning lady come out and it helps keep my anxiety in check:) I have a 6, 4,and1.5 year old. My toddler runs around leaving messes everywhere she goes. It seems that the birth of each child results in my house being slightly messier. Some nights I'm so exhausted by the time everyone is asleep I don't have the energy to even pick up. With that being said, I have learned that it helps if I enlist the help of my kids when I am cleaning. They are responsible for picking up their toys and will usually help me with dustng and cleaning the tub (all natural cleaners of course) and whatnot.
Proud Mommy to my amazing boys (6 and 4) and my precious little girl (18 months).
not really. i mean, it's not really dirty, but it's not tidy. i love the idea of cleaning after he's in bed, but he rarely sleeps through the night so i tend to just jump into bed right when he falls asleep so i can try to get a few hours in before he keeps me up for the rest of the night.
It's nice to see that there are others like me! lol.
I don't get how one could clean for an hour a day and keep a house tidy/clean
I used to just clean throughout the day, as I had time. That didn't work. (well, it worked for me. I thought the house was decent for the most part. But not good enough for exdp, I guess). So my schedule now, I have 4 - 4.5 hours a day that isn't specifically allotted for something else (cooking, picking up ds1 from school, playing outside, lunch/snacks, getting the kids ready for bed, sleep, etc). During that time, I still have ds2 to attend to for all except an hour most days. That means making sure he's safe (he has no fear), not making a mess (like spitting milk out all over the floor), and not harrassing the dog, helping him when he needs help, nursing/cuddling, etc. That 4.5 hours also includes 30 minutes of internet time, showers for me, and grocery shopping (will add that soon).
So I don't know how much time I spend cleaning, but I spend an hour straight in the mornings, and it barely scratches the surface. The rest of the time is broken up, of course, by ds2. Oh, and ds2 sleeps for only 8-9 hours a night, so I can't do much after he falls asleep, because I get up with him in the morning.
I really don't think I could spend less than 3 hours a day cleaning, and have a clean house. I don't get it.

It doesn't help when you have pets. When we had cats, it would look like I hadn't done a thing by the next day. Dust and hair get onto everything. Now that we don't have cats, I find it is just dirt that comes in from outside and toys get scattered and dishes get left out. So everyday I sweep, everyday I pick up toys (the kids do too) and everyday I do a load of dishes in the dishwasher. I'd say it's about an hour of 'cleaning' a day.

On the surface, yes. It is not perfect, but neat. Just don't open my closets
I probably spend about 1.5 hours "maintenance cleaning" through the day: a load of laundry, dishes in dishwasher and run when full (every other day), wipe down tables and counters, and our "clean up time": somewhere around 4:00 we pick up all the toys/books/crafts and I run the vacuum, then the kids watch a video while I finish dinner and tidy up odds and ends. Some toys/books are brought out in the evening, but it's not many and quick to pick up at bedtime. I try to do the other cleaning chores throughout the week when I have a pocket of time in the day: one day I'll dust and wash mirrors and smudgy windows, another day I change all the sheets, another I'll scrub the bathroom, another I'll mop, so a half hour here and a half hour there.
I have a 5 yr ds, a 17 mo dd, 2 indoor cats and a fluffy dog. I find that "clean up time" is key to maintaining my house and my sanity. I used to clean first thing in the morning and then it would be messy again by bedtime. I am much more satisfied when I vacuum, etc late in the day because the house is still relatively clean after the kids go to bed and I have a moment to enjoy it. I also find that when I consistently vacuum every day, it's a quick job. I just have hard wood floors and rugs, but if I skip a day or two it takes so much longer.
hhmh....fact is, in our house, DH is the messy one, not toddler!!!
If she takes after her dad, however, we're in reaaaalll trouble!!!
hahaha I can so relate. I mean, DS contributes his fair share (mostly throwing food ) but DH is the one who leaves a trail wherever he goes...
No, I'm doing better, but I just don't like cleaning. I try to stay caught up on the dishes and sweeping the kitchen floor. Every couple of days we pick up the toys and put them all away. I vacuum occasionally. I clean the bathroom once a week. But on a daily basis, it's pretty messy. I just don't care. I think I could become a neat person if I cared much about the mess, but as long as I can walk without tripping over things, it just doesn't bother me. It's only me and my son, and I work out of our home, so it's all my work stuff (I'm not even talking about my wood and sawdust covered basement :)), plus his toys, and he's always playing with his toys and I'm always working throughout the day, so I'm relaxed about keeping stuff picked up all the time.
I have a 2 year old and a newborn and a 40 lb dog...oh yes and a hubby who is famous for leaving a trail of things behind him and then getting grouchy that he can't find something. MEN! Anyhoo...
DS likes to rearrange things (aka play with something then leave it blah blah). He is very good at picking up blocks, not always good with putting books on shelves.
Currently my house is cleaner and neater than usual because I've been taking the time to do it because otherwise it annoys me. However, I haven't figured out how to juggle that, taking care of the kids/hubby, cooking (I cook everything from scratch) and practicing (I am a concert violinist) consistently. I'll get a good month or 2 in and then a dry spell. Hmmm...any ideas?
OOh since I had the baby a few weeks ago my MIL (LOVE HER!) comes over every other week and does a basic deep clean. Then I'll go over and get stuff that she missed etc.

Nope, and not likely to be for some years.
Hah, absolutely not. I have a 6, 3.5, 1.5, and a 3 month old. My house is always a mess. If I get one room done they just trash it as soon as I move to the next. If it gets too bad I kinda freak out and my husband will help clean up. But for the most part that's just the way it is.
This is my life as well. My kids are 7, 3.5, 1.5, and I babysit a 5yo. If/when I manage to get one room clean, they've gone and destroyed another. It's a vicious cycle, and I see no end in sight...lol. I also freak out sometimes, and that's when DH will step in and do some real cleaning. However, he's starting a second job soon, so I'll be even more on my own. Scary!

Hoping for a in November!
Wow...I have a 26 month old, a 6 month old, an 80 lb dog and 2 cats and I honestly don't think I could find 3 hours a day worth of cleaning to do! I guess maybe my standard of "clean" is low, but I consider my house pretty clean and tidy. I spend about an hour each day doing basic maintenance cleaning (dishes, laundry, vacuuming, sweeping, mopping and picking up) and then maybe one "deep clean" (windows, fridge, sweeping and mopping the stairs). Most of which I do with my 26 month old son "helping" when my 6 month old daughter is sleeping or in the ergo on my back. We'll wash dishes together, he'll help switch the laundry and put away his clothes, he has a dust buster he vacuums with when I vacuum, and he'll help pick up his toys before nap and bedtime. I sometimes do a few things when they're both napping in the afternoon, but usually I try to make that me time, where I can sit on the internet or read or journal in peace. Sometimes the tandem nap doesn't work so I don't get much me time those days. But both kids also go to bed really early (7ish), so my husband and I spend quality time together at night, and I can also finish any major cleaning that needs to get done then.
I also don't have a lot of stuff though. We don't even have that much furniture or anything, so it's pretty easy to pick up and clean everywhere in the house. Bsides some toys strewn around and dog hair all over, our house doesn't really get that messy. My husband also helps out a lot with kitchen duty, so he'll wipe counters, do dishes, clean the stove, sweep and mop, and do deep clean stuff in the kitchen, which helps a ton.
At any given time a small portion of my house is clean. Whichever room is the 'clean room' varies from day to day. But the whole house clean, nope, no, no way, no how.
Mom to DD 10 and DS 8.
Since my 7-month old's arrival home, our house has been totally spic and span clean ONE time (when we had an important visitor - it wasn't even for us to enjoy! :) ). I'm pretty good about doing dishes and a load of laundry everyday (we cd and hand wash dishes). Other than that, we do what we can when we have the time to do it. Our bed hasn't been made in FOREVER, the dust bunnies have stayed for weeks, etc. I just vacuumed every corner and the windowsills today and that won't happen again probably for *months*. Oh well! :)
Blessed mom (11.10) and wife (5.01-met/12.07-married). HI!
This is our schedule for the week,
Get out of bed at 8
Make breakfast, get DD up so she can eat as well.
Bath and dress.
Clean for an hour while both of my toddlers have imagination time (they can choose to color, build blocks, or get into dress up clothes)
Clean up time (children clean their toys, I usually help my 13 month old)
Playroom/Workout time (The small place I go to workout has a room for the kids to play in with windows so I can watch them. They enjoy it)
They have snack time in the playroom
Swim time
At 12:30 we come home, I make my husband lunch and take it to him (kids eat lunch while I make dad's lunch)
Kids take naps as soon as we get back.
I do my hard core cleaning during nap time (washing baseboards, mopping, dusting ceiling fans, etc)
When kids wake up we have snack time then head outside.
We go to the park, then return home
When we return home we do whatever activity I have planned (gardening, painting, or dance and gymnastics on tues and thurs)
Start dinner
When cooking dinner the kids either can "help" or are allowed to play with anything in their rooms. (I also allow tv time if they choose it during this time).
If they are able to help with the meal , they join in.
If not then I allow them to help "make cookies" by giving them flour, bowls, and spoons and playing on the kitchen floor.
As soon as dinner is done I clean up our messes and the kids clean their rooms.
We either wait for daddy or eat without him (we hold off as long as the kids are able. While waiting we usually dance with music.)
Once daddy comes home cleaning stops until bedtime.
We play with the kids, read to them, or if they are playing alone we will watch a movie, get on the internet, just relax.
Do bedtime routines, which include the kids picking up their rooms.
Once the kids are in bed I do a quick clean up of the house, fold any laundry I didn't get to, throw diapers in the wash if they need it, anything I missed.
Then I shower, get all of the next days activities ready for the next day and get in bed with hunny.
During the weekend, our plans are always different.
We still have meals and snacks at the same time, but our activities center around spending time with daddy...unless he's golfing then I'm on the internet (like now, while the kids are napping lol)
This is our summer schedule, but if I didn't follow it our house would fall apart. lol
I pretty much keep the house spotless though, always ready for company.
Of course, I'm not completely anal.
If we need to step over a pile of clean clothes to get out the door for family time, we're doing it.
Married to Hubs, DD Miss A (Oct 2008), DS Bubba E (April 2010)
Oh, me neither! I'm just estimating that it would take 3 hours a day to get/keep my house clean (what I consider "clean"). It's not completely clean right now, because I don't have that much time!! It is, however, clean enough. I spent 2 hours yesterday, and I did get all the basics done (dishes, laundry, sweep the kitchen, counters, pick up toys, bathroom, etc), but that didn't give me any time to do any extras, like my room (which is a disaster), clean off cluttered surfaces, change the sheets, etc etc etc.
I guess, what I got done was enough to make the house look fine for guests (which means it's enough for me to feel good in it).

Scooter Braun Pops the Question to Yael Cohen
Move over Justin Bieber, your manager Scooter Braun just made an even bigger commitment to someone else by proposing to girlfriend Yael Cohen.
Though the 32-year-old businessman alluded to the happy news on Twitter with the message, "loving 2014. Luckiest guy in the world :)," it was one of his clients that confirmed the engagement.
Excited for the impending nuptials, Carly Rae Jepsen tweeted, "Huge congrats to @scooterbraun and @yael on their engagement! I am so happy for you both! #truelove #yay."
Dating since early 2013, the bride-to-be is founder of "F--k Cancer," a charity that helps educate young people about early detection, prevention, and the disease.

Facebook's introduction of its revamped News Feed in March was aimed at emphasizing images, and the social network continued along that path, announcing that images for page posts containing links are now four times larger on mobile and eight times larger on desktop.
The social network said in a post on its developer blog that images that are at least 1,200 pixels by 630 pixels are optimal for high-resolution devices, suggesting a minimum of 600 by 315, and an aspect ratio of 1.91-to-1. Facebook also suggested use of the og:image tag so that the image choice is made by the page administrator and not by users sharing the links.
Facebook directed page admins to its Maximizing Distribution for Media Content guide for more information.
Readers: What do you think of the larger images in link page posts?


text: Print Aluminum - is there a link to Alzheimer's disease? Risk factors are aspects of people, their lifestyle and environment that contribute to the likelihood of getting a disease. They can include family genetics. Some risk factors can be changed (for example, lowering one's blood pressure); other risk factors cannot be changed (for example, your age or your genes). Most researchers no longer regard aluminum as a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease. However, some researchers are still examining whether some people are at risk because their bodies have difficulties in handling foods containing the metals copper, iron, and aluminum. What is aluminum? We usually think of aluminum as a light silvery metal used to make pots and pans, airplanes or tools, but it also has a non-metallic form. This form of aluminum makes up eight per cent of the earth's surface. Where is it found? In the environment Aluminum in its non-metallic form is found everywhere. Because it is in the earth, it occurs naturally in the foods we eat. It is naturally found in drinking water and in some municipalities as an additive in the water treatment process. It is added to many food products when they are manufactured. Some cosmetics contain aluminum. It is also used in some drugs to make them more effective or less irritating. Aluminum is present in the air we breathe as a result of dry soil, smoke and sprays. In the body Aluminum is present in the body, but its role is not fully understood. Very little of the aluminum taken in by a healthy individual is actually absorbed; most is flushed out of the body by the kidneys. What has led some scientists to believe there is a connection between aluminum and Alzheimer's disease? Aluminum has been studied for over 40 years as a substance that might be linked to Alzheimer's disease. However, there have been many conflicting findings. Some studies show increased levels of aluminum in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease, while others do not. Research has not found an increased incidence of Alzheimer's disease in people with occupational exposure to aluminum. Tea is one of the few plants whose leaves accumulate large amounts of aluminum that can seep into the brewed beverage. However, there is no evidence that Alzheimer's disease is more prevalent in cultures that typically drink large amounts of tea. Unfortunately, earlier animal studies focused on one animal that is particularly susceptible to aluminum poisoning, thus leading to incorrect conclusions about the general effects of aluminum on the body. What about pots and pans? It would be difficult to significantly reduce exposure to aluminum simply by avoiding the use of aluminum cookware, foil, beverage cans and other products. Even if aluminum were clearly implicated in the development of Alzheimer's disease, these means of exposure contributes only a very small percentage of the average person's intake of aluminum. In summary At this point, there is no convincing evidence that aluminum increases a person's risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. Last Updated: 03/02/15 Back to top↑

Gotta love the truth. Facts are a pesky inconvenience for the gun-grabbers. That article reminds me of the "Choose Your Own Crime Stats" video. I think we should all be armed with these "pesky" facts so that when we have a rational debate with an anti, the truth is on our side.

I just read Stefan Molyneux quote recently and he makes some wild observations on gun control. I quoted it here for a quick fun read:If owning guns is bad, then it is bad for everyone. Guns, then, should be banned. Thus policemen and soldiers must give up their weapons. If policemen and soldiers need guns to protect themselves from dangerous criminals, why not ordinary citizens? Does that mean that possessing guns is sometimes good and sometimes bad? What is the difference? Remember – there is no such thing as "a policeman" or "a soldier" – those are mere concepts. Only people exist, and if gun ownership is a good idea for a soldier, but a bad idea for a private citizen, what happens to the soldier when he goes on leave? Does his nature change somehow, so that now he no longer has the right to own a gun? What about when a policeman changes out of his uniform? Does he change in some fundamental manner, and so loses the right to be armed? Is it only his uniform that has the right to carry a gun? What if someone else puts on that uniform? Of course, these questions cannot be answered, and so the whole argument for gun control becomes logically foolish. People will then turn to the argument from effect – i.e. general gun ownership leads to increased violence – which can also be easily countered. If gun ownership leads to increased violence, then surely the cops and soldiers will become increasingly violent if they alone have guns. Since dictatorships and war are worse than crime (because you can defend yourself against criminals, but not governments), then surely that is an argument against only allowing people who work for the state to carry guns. Thus a person can only argue against gun ownership from a subjective "me no like" perspective – which is a perfect time to explain how the stateless free market can grant him his wish!

Actually it goes a bit deeper than that. I believe that all of past school incidents either the shooter was a registered Dem or if too young to be registered to vote - Mom & Pop were registered Dems. I don't know about this latest one though but that kid was also totally bonkers so not sure what difference it all makes.
But, really it IS time to stop blaming the Republicans & the NRA.

In a scene that could have been in any episode of the TV drama, the Sopranos, the mayor of Hoboken, New Jersey revealed being intimidated and threatened by staff of the Christie administration. She was informed by members of Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno, that if she did not agree to a proposal by the Rockefeller Group for a development project then she would not be sent funds from the Hurricane Sandy Relief fund. According to Mayor Dawn Zimmer, who kept a diary of her meeting with Ms. Guadagno in a ShopRite parking lot, there was a clear threat to her and the city of Hoboken. In blunt words, Guadagno said: "I know it's not right. I know these things should not be connected, but they are. And, if you tell anyone, I;ll deny it."
Such is life in the Christie state of New Jersey. The rich get what they want, and the poor people of Hoboken are simply hostages on the stage of corruption. Mayor Zimmer noted in her diary entry: "This week I found out that he's cut from the same corrupt cloth that I have been fighting for the last four years."

Mamas hoping to take a laid-back approach to the often over-the-top holiday can easily transform their tots into characters with a few simple accessories. Best of all, the pieces make fun additions to a dress-up chest for use once the ghosts and goblins have gone into hiding for another year.
