Understanding the Dry Cleaning Process
From time in memorial, people have been washing their clothes. Whether it is by the riverside, or in a basin there has always been a method of washing and drying the laundry. Nowadays or in the recent past, there has been technological advancement as machines are used to wash the clothes. Washing machines use water and a solvent to clean laundry.
However, there is a process called dry-cleaning whereby water is not used thus the name 'dry'. In the article, we shall highlight the process of dry-cleaning so that you gain a better understanding of what happens when you take your laundry to the dryer.
History of Dry Cleaning
Dry cleaning was invented in 1855 by Jean Baptiste Jolly who was a French dye worker.
His maid poured paraffin on a table cloth and he released that it got cleaner than when it was washed with soap and water.
Kerosene and gasoline were the solvents that were initially used to clean fabrics.
However, over time, many other solvents including trichloroethylene and carbon tetrachloride were used to dry clean laundry.
Nowadays though, the solvent that is overwhelmingly used to clean clothes in a dry cleaning machine is called perchlorethylene (perc).
Perc is not only safer, but it cleans better and it does not require very big machinery thus saving on space. This has made it possible to have dry cleaning services offered in a small rental spaces.
The solvent is also responsible for the evolution of the dry cleaning business because many people could afford to rent small building spaces and operate the business.
The Dry Cleaning Process
The process of dry cleaning is hugely similar no matter the cleaner you take your laundry to.
First, your laundry is marked to avoid any confusion and also for easier identification. Some dry cleaner operators will use paper clips or some other form of labeling which they stick on the collar of your garment.
They will also examine the state of the laundry and see if they have all the buttons and whether they are torn- they do this to avoid any complaints from the customer.
If the laundry has any stains- soup or ink stains- they will treat them first to make the cleaning easier.
Then, they put the clothes in a machine and the dry cleaning process begins where the laundry is cleaned using a solvent.
For thorough cleaning, if any stains are still visible, they are manually removed after the dry cleaning.
The last step involves pressing the laundry, folding them and packaging them in a presentable manner awaiting collection by the owner.
The Dry Cleaning Process in Detail
First your laundry is counted and the different types of laundry identified (blouses, trousers, shirts etc.). The date that you deliver the laundry is also noted in a ledger at the dry cleaner.
The laundry is then tagged and the tag will remain affixed to the cloth the entire process.
The customer is handed an invoice which identifies their laundry, the date delivered, the customer's name, phone number and address. The same information is fed into the system to help in record keeping.
Laundries that require special attention are also tagged; the attention might be a stain on the pants. The tags are of a different color.
Once the batch of laundry has been watched, it is inspected to verify if the work has been properly done. If stains are spotted, then post– stain removal is done.
The tags are affixed to the same bundle of laundry in such a way that the person who will be packaging them will be able to identify laundry which belongs to the same customer.
Pre-Treating the Stains on the Laundry
The idea of stain pre-treatment is to make it easier to come out during the washing process. In fact, the stain might come out during this stage if it is not too stubborn.
You can pre-treat a stain yourself. If the stain is wet-that which contains water like wine for example- apply water on it. For dry stains-those that contain oils – apply a solvent.
Rub the stain with a dry cloth, as you do this, the stain will spreads into the rest of the cloth.
Rice your cloth and dry it, when you take it to the cleaner, it will be very easy to wash clean the stained garment.
Alternatively, take it to the cleaner as it is and they will deal with the stain.
The Dry Cleaning
There are many brands of dry cleaning machines in the market but their operating principle is similar.
The cleaning machine is made up of a dryer, a washer and extractor and it can fit from 9 to 45 kgs of laundry.
Inside the machine, there is a perforated basket that spins as the laundry is sprayed with the solvent through the holes in the basket.
During the spinning process, the laundry is also gently ponded against baffles which are inside the cylinder.
This ponding and constant spray of the solvent ensures that the laundry is well cleansed.
The machine has a mechanism of recovering the used perc, filters it and reuses it to clean the laundry more or clean a new set of laundry.
The filtration process is very important, since less perc is disposed to the environment and also saves the drycleaner operator money.
After the clothes have been thoroughly doused in the solvent and are clean, next comes the drying stage.
In order for the clothes to dry, they are rotated at a very high speed while at the same time warm air is let into the chamber. The warm air dispels any solvent off the laundry and any moisture that might be present.
Dry cleaning machines that use petroleum based solvent- though few- have very many fire guard systems in place since petroleum is highly flammable.
Post Cleaning Stain Removal
This process of stain removal uses vacuum, air, steam and water to remove a stain if it did not get cleaned during the dry cleaning process.
For water based stains, water is used to remove the stain, for dry stains, a solvent is used for the process.
The drycleaner will examine the stain to determine the best approach to use.
Once the laundry has been dry-cleaned, the last step is the finishing.
In this step, the clothes are steamed, pressed and ironed to make them presentable to the customer.
After this, they are packaged well awaiting collection by the customer.
Dry cleaning might be a mysterious process because all you see is a large machine and you have no idea what goes on behind the scenes. Well, with the tutorial, we hope you have gotten an idea of what goes on. You will also be on the knowhow on what is happening when you take your laundry to the dry cleaner next time.

Curtain Cleaning Benefits
Have you moved into your new house? Do you have new furniture and upholstery? How about the curtains? We all know that curtains are very crucial in our house, but do we know why we should clean them too? Now, before wondering why you should clean your carpet, it's important to know the reasons why curtains look old. The reason is very simple and straightforward. When you constantly exposed them to dirt and dust from outside the room, what do you expect? That is the reason you require to make many curtains cleaning a must.
Many people in the world never give their curtains much thought. They open and close them perhaps every day. The sun beats in on the backs of the curtains and drapes daily. Dust particles, insects, and animal hair accumulate around and within the folds of the drapery. The same dust and dirt accumulate at the top of the drapery and curtains among the curtain hooks or folds. It gathers up and deposits itself at the bottoms of the curtains and drapes. So why should anyone give this any thought? It is imperative to engage in curtain cleaning if you value a clean home or an apartment.
It's simple
It doesn't mean that you need to put all those heavy curtains in the washing machine every week. That would not only be tiring but would also shorten the lifespan of the curtains. Instead, you could take them out from the window and clean them using a vacuum cleaner and remove all those dust as a first step. As curtains are meant to cover the windows, they would have absorbed all the dust from outside. Also, their colors would fade fast by being exposed to sunlight.
Curtains maintenance
That is not all. Even inside the rooms while you are cleaning the floor, furniture, fan, and lights a share of the dust from all these would undoubtedly settle on to the curtains. Thus, without your noticing, your bright and colorful curtains would soon start deteriorating. Very soon, they become too dirty that either you have to purchase new curtains or call a professional curtain cleaning company.
However, by applying a little care and forethought, you can avoid this situation.
For this, first of all, include curtains in your list of items to be vacuumed every week. This way there is lesser dust to clean, and curtains remain safe and intact. One way to check whether the curtains need cleaning is to shake them and see whether dust is coming off them. You could also sniff them and see whether they are dusty.
If you are doing this once in a week, you could run a lint brush through them from top to bottom. It would avoid the dust from falling over the cleaned part. Once a few months you could use water and clean them. However, before cleaning make sure you read all the washing instructions for the curtains. If the instructions are to apply dry cleaning, better go for that. If not, check whether the instructions are there to use any specific detergent to be used in a specific amount.
Retains the color
Once you wash them following the manual, put them in place to dry which is half sunny and half shady. It is to retain the colors on the curtains. You could also put them in the dryer depending on the capacity of your dryer. After drying you could put them back again and spray a freshener to bring the new look to them. Don't forget to check whether the freshener contains any toxic that will harm the curtains or discolor them.
Cleaning your curtain will definitely let you avoid purchasing new curtains every once in a while. Good and frequent cleaning can help you keep freshness in the curtains for a long time and thus extend their life and keep them as new.
You can clean your curtains or choose to hire a professional curtain cleaning companies that will perform that service. Often a carpet cleaning company will also clean curtains and drapes when they come in to clean the carpet. It is actually a good idea to have the curtains or drapes cleaned when you have the carpet cleaned as they will get all of the dirt out of the drapery, some of which will fall on the carpet.
If you have curtains, you will have to decide if they are cheap curtains or are they worthwhile having cleaned. If they are cheap curtains, then, by all means, go out and buy another set of them for all of the windows.
What you should consider
If the curtains have been in the windows for a very long time with the sun beating in on them, you will need to consider if they will hold up to cleaning. You can examine the backs of the curtains and check for places where the backing if it has that, is beginning to split. Or if it has no backing, you can check to make sure the fabric isn't splitting or crumbling when rubbed between your fingers. If that's the case, then you won't benefit from cleaning your curtains.
You also need to consider if the curtains are washable. Lightweight synthetic material curtains usually can be washed in a washing machine. You will have to read the instruction tag attached to the curtains to determine if you can do this. Some curtains are made of fiberglass. If the curtains are made of fiberglass, you might want to take them to your dry cleaners to have them cleaned there. Fiberglass can cause damage to soft hands.
Larger, heavier curtains may be washed in a bathtub if they are too heavy for your washing machine. Otherwise, you may have a commercial laundry with heavy duty machines where you could wash them.
After they are washed, you will have to dry them. They can dry in the dryer or on a line. Either way, they will be cleaner.

9 Things Which Will Help You Choose The Best Dry Cleaner.
Clothing is such an important aspect of our lives these days that the condition of our clothes is more important than ever and it plays an important part in the context of how you present yourself to the world. That said, it's highly unlikely that most of us have the time to look after them in terms of having them cleaned and then ironed at home given the incredibly busy lives we lead on a daily basis.
The option that remains is to have your clothes to be dry cleaned so that they look the way we want them to so as long as possible. But there are a few things you must keep in mind to make sure that your choice of dry cleaner is in the best interest of your beloved garments and it allows you to wear them with confidence anywhere you want to.
· The quality of treatment: Having your clothes to be dry cleaned is a trust-influenced decision depending upon how much you value your clothes and assuming that you value them pretty highly, there should be a great emphasis on how well your dry cleaner takes care of your clothes. The last thing you want is having them back in a condition worse than what you handed them over in. So, it's important that your clothes get the care they deserve before, during and after the process of cleaning from your service provider.
· Track Record: The company which you choose should have a proven track record and that you can know simply by asking other people who have used it. There's nothing that you can rely on more when making these decisions than word-of-mouth. Ask people about their experiences with the cleaner to make an informed decision.
· Attention to detail: Now this is a very underrated aspect of the cleaning process. It's normal for a cleaner to be asked to clean more than one kind of clothing and from more than one kind of customer. That makes it imperative for them to separate these clothes as some of might have a tendency to lose color while others might require a certain water temperature, for example sake. Both these kinds of clothes can harm the others in their company which would not be pleasant if you own them. Thus, you must make sure that your cleaner actually makes the effort of separating the clothes on the basis of their texture and the kind of cleaning process they need to go through so that everyone is happy when they receive them back.
· Punctuality in delivery: The one thing you would want just as much as getting back clean clothes is getting them back on time. Nothing frustrates people more than having to wait longer than they were supposed to and wear something other than your favorite shirt in the interview the next day only because your cleaner could deliver on time. That's also something you can get to know from past customers and you have to rely on that information.
· Recognition for quality: Since the trust factor involved is very high in these decisions, nothing aids you in making it faster than knowing that the cleaner you're choosing is recognized by an authority for its quality of operation and that they live up to the standards prescribed by these authorized which are usually very high. And companies that have actually gone ahead and made that effort of getting that recognition would make you even more certain that they are sincere and have a good work ethic.
· Valuing the customer: As a customer, you should be on the top of your cleaner's priority list and if you have any requests for you clothing that differ from the usual in terms of any specific treatment you desire for your clothing, they should cater to those requests and cater well, just not for the sake of retaining you as customers. Additionally, some cleaners also have the facility of getting clothes picked up from your doorstep and for people who don't have much time on their hands, this can be a significant value add.
· Pricing: In a tough economy such as ours, few things matter more than affordability and that's something at the back of most people's mind while making choices like these. But if you are paying too much attention to that aspect, more often than not, you'll end up having to buy new clothes which will cost you more eventually as your cost-effectiveness got in the way of quality and your clothes were no longer in a wearable condition. So, consider options that benefit you in the long term on both counts and make a balanced choice.
· Diversity in service: Laundry companies that offers services to a wide array of customers are not that common. Offering quality services to more than one type of customer also goes to show that the company you're choosing is a reliable choice as they have considerable experience in handling different kinds of customers.
· Other factors: It's important that you should be conscious of other aspects of the cleaning process apart from cleaning. The dry cleaner should be conscious of the environmental aspects related to this process and make sure that they conserve water where they can and the hygiene of the people working there is held in high regard. That is what truly separates the good companies from the great ones. It's easy to forget about all this and just focus on what concerns your clothing but these are the things which will impact each one of us at some point knowing about them is only going to be of help.
We have made all these points for you to help you with your choice. However, this not the be all and end all of the laundry cleaner requirements. You can have your own preferences while choosing your cleaner but through this list we are trying to make that choice easy for you so that you don't end up missing anything while making that choice. So, the next time you collect your clothes, make sure you are satisfied with what you have received.

*Dotterage: A word not included in modern dictionaries but which, prima facie, is, at the least, colloquial in nature. Okay, I'm done.
Let the interview begin!
Robynn: How long have you been blogging and why did you start?
Naomi: I think I've been blogging since August 2008. I started originally to keep my family updated on our going's on up here... we live at least 5 hours away from our immediate families now, and I was tired of sending mass e-mails to family, and not really being sure of who I should include, if they consider it nagging, etc. Then I'd feel all weird if folks didn't email me back, it was like they were ignoring me speaking to them, and it made me obsess. With a blog, it's nice (really nice!) if people leave comments, but I don't feel as tho I am shoving my kid's adorable little stories in their face all the time. Nobody FORCES them to check it, after all. And, I really HATE Facebook. I know, I'm weird. But, it is a visually obnoxious web program, and that irritates me. There are reasons why there are rules for designing websites that will make people return to them. Visually obnoxious programs should not, IMHO, be used, or encouraged by anyone. It just encourages the little geeks in their little cubicles to make more visually obnoxious programs, and then the world is overrun by visual obnoxiousness.
Robynn: I couldn't agree more, Naomi. I was turning myself inside out to share, through email, stunning and revelatory information with my friends and yet it seemed few were riveted by my musings. Now that I've started a blog they complain that they never hear from me. Isn't that just the way? Oh sorry! This interview wasn't about ME was it....... Apparently I never miss an opportunity for good, cathartic therapy. Moving on......
Robynn: What has been the most fun and/or rewarding part about blogging?
Naomi: Well, when I started I had NO IDEA that so many of my friends & acquaintances through our church etc., had blogs. I just never thought about it before. But, I used to work, so never really even thought about connecting with other people. At the end of the day, I was done with other people. So, now that I'm a SAHM, it has totally forced me into this world of motherhood, where you're SO GLAD to connect with other moms who speak kid all day long as well. Blogging is a great way to do that, cuz you don't have to pay gas money or over-minutes charges on your cell phone to connect, and you don't have to make a play date to do it... you just switch the laundry, empty the dishwasher, fold a pile of clothes, put shoes away, start dinner, and then take a break for 5 minutes here and there on the computer.
Robynn: What has been your biggest surprise?
Naomi: The thing that has actually surprised me the most is how posts can totally take on a life of their own. When I'd read an author's notes on a novel, or something, I'd always sniff my nose when they'd say something like, "I couldn't wait to see how this story I've written ended!" That always made me go, "Umm. Duh, you're writing it. You should know how it ends!" But it's really true for me, in my little blogging way, sometimes my posts really sprout wings and fly in a different direction then I've planned for them, or things that I planned to get in there totally end up not working. I'm not, by any means, any sort of novelist, but it is a creative outlet using words, so I don't feel as though it is unreasonable to use that parallel example... :-)
Robynn: What are your greatest frustrations?
Naomi: Can't think of anything. If something frustrates me, I usually don't touch it at all, ever. I will blog as long as it makes me happy to do so. The day it becomes irritating is the day I quit. Life is far to short to do quit-able things that irritate you. Sadly, I cannot treat cleaning my toilets the same way.
Robynn: Have you learned anything through blogging you don't think you would have otherwise?
Naomi: I think so. I've discovered I love web design, the marketing aspect of it. I'm currently exploring options for doing more of that, as time and budget allow. I've always in the past had my fingers in marketing in one way or another at my previous jobs, and I'd love to learn more about that from a web design standpoint, as well as learning a few different web design languages. I've spent so many years hunched over a computer, I've discovered that even as a SAHM, I'm happiest at the end of the day that I've had a lot of productive time in front of the computer. Then I look at the laundry pile, and happy goes down the tubes, but it makes me momentarily happy, anyhoo.
Robynn: Do you ever feel like blogging is a waste of time or do you see it as enriching your life?
Naomi: I am on a continual quest to only do things that enrich my life, or contribute to the wellness of my family. I think it would be VERY RIDICULOUSLY easy to waste time blogging... that is why I rarely post more than 2-3 times a week, depending on what I'm posting about. But, I had to discover that when it comes to reading blogs I ONLY read blogs regularly that truly contribute to me in some way. I was getting overwhelmed for a while by blogs I was trying to fit in. I now only allow myself blogs from people I really care about or challange and uplift me...
Family/Friends blogs. One humor blog--thats' you, Robynn!--and I stop by a few of your pals as time allows. The Pioneer Woman, cuz hey, I've read her since 2006, can't stop now. Dutch Girl Cooking, cuz I love food, and I love food photography, and I actually use her recipes... so that's a keeper. And, I read Sew, Mama, Sew-- I like to keep my hand in the sewing blog world just a little bit, cuz ya never know what you might learn, but I had to stop reading a bajillion sewing blogs, because I discovered it irritated me more that it enriched me. So many great ideas, so little time. I'm like a fat kid with a tray of cupcakes when it comes to sewing projects. I WANT TO EAT THEM ALL. Or, do them all, anyway.
Robynn: Ever had any flamers or weirdos?
Naomi: Nope! Not yet. I keep this a matter of prayer. I want only encouraging and uplifting things on my blog. As I am a Christian, if someone saw something on my blog that touched them, or made them want Christ for themselves, and wanted to contact me, I would want them to be able to get in touch with me. Also, we LOVE where we live, and it's a huge part of our lives to appreciate it, so my blog wouldn't be complete without that being a part of it. I decided that if I'm to be a testimony for Christ in every aspect of my life, I'll hopefully do that in internet land as well, follow basic safety precautions, and leave the rest with Him.
Robynn: What advice would you give someone starting a blog?
Naomi: To be sure to never embarrass anyone with your blog. Sometimes you can get carried away with a story, or something, and people can inadvertantly get the wrong impression from something that you've said. Especially if you're a sarcastic sort. The written word will always be stronger than the spoken word, in that each person who reads it imagines a different tone of voice with what they're reading,and the whole copy and paste thing, and e-mail forwarding, and all that. I don't think I've ever embarrassed someone, but I would consider that to be ultimately horrifying.
Robynn: Who is your favorite blogger? (Okay, sounds like I'm pandering here but, seriously, do you have a blog that you have learned a lot from, has been especially inspirational or uplifting, or that you feel you can never miss?)
Naomi: My "read regularly" list is VERY limited, and the ones I do read are there because I walk away from them with something. I have others that I check in with every week or every couple weeks. That being said, if I read something that touches me, or causes a thought it my head, or cheers me up, or whatever, I do leave a comment. I used to not, because who cares what I think? But, since I've started blogging, I've realized how EVERY comment is read and appreciated to a blog author, so I do try to keep that in mind, and always comment when I stop by a blog.
Thank you so much, Naomi, for being willing to take the time for this interview, sharing your thoughts, and letting us get to know you. It was great getting to meet you, Frank Castle, Kiki and Debris, and the rest of the gang. Maybe we'll see each other on a four-wheel drive trail sometime. But, in the meantime, you know I'll be dropping in regularly!

Romo Is No Longer A Cowboy
It seems Tony Romo's time with Dallas has come to an end.
Sources close to the Cowboys organization have made it known that the Cowboys will release Tony Romo this Thursday, March 9th. The reason the Cowboys made the decision to release Tony Romo this Thursday is due to many different factors. One factor is that this Thursday is the first day of the new NFL season. The decision to release Romo also materialized because there were no trade offers for the quarterback. This is after Romo was sidelined after undergoing surgery. And the last factor leading to this decision is that the Cowboys now have a new quarterback. Dak Prescott, the replacement has a very promising future in the NFL.
Tony Romo was benched after suffering another injury which opened the door for Dak Prescott to lead the Cowboys. Dak did so by having one of the best seasons for a rookie quarterback and finished the season with a passer rating of 104.9.
Tony Romo is expected to be picked up by other teams who are in the running for a Superbowl and need a quarterback. This includes the Denver Broncos and the Houston Texans, who both missed the playoff last year. It is importsnt to note thst Tony Romo had a stellar career with the Cowboys, minus his injuries. He logged over 34,00 yards, threw 248 touchdowns, and had an average passer rating of 97.1
More information will be added on Thursday pending the decision to release Tony Romo.

Pragmatic victory for MCC on nostalgia-filled day
MCC XI 296 for 3 (Finch 181*, Chanderpaul 37*) beat Rest of the World XI 293 for 7 (Yuvraj 132, Collingwood 40)
Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
In the end, there was no Sachin Tendulkar hundred, no Brian Lara classic. The sun did not shine until it had begun to set and Shane Warne did not bowl. The contemporary cricketers showed the old stagers that reputations count for little. Thomas Lord, a wheeler-dealer who considered moving his now-famous cricket ground for a third time during the 1800s and had to be bought out of his stake, might have approved of the lack of sentiment.
Tendulkar's MCC XI won the match, in honour of the Lord's bicentenary, though the Marylebone Cricket Club was always going to be the winner on this occasion. Warne, the Rest of the World captain who had been feeling the love all week during the build-up, felt something more acute on arriving at the crease to bat, his first delivery a beamer from Brett Lee, his old Australia team-mate, possibly a few clicks slower than in his pomp but still a dangerous prospect.
A broken hand kept Warne off the field during the chase, depriving a capacity crowd of one of the most tantalising of the many sights they came to revel in.
There were still flashes of genius, though the more prosaic business of scoring runs and taking wickets was largely carried out by those still plying their trade. Aaron Finch's unbeaten 181 guided MCC home, trumping a flowing century from Yuvraj Singh. Without Warne, the Rest of the World were quiescent, Paul Collingwood their most penetrative bowler. If Tendulkar had not decorously chosen to rest Saeed Ajmal after his initial burst of 4 for 5, the party may have ended early.
At the start of the MCC innings, having been set a target of 294 on an accommodating pitch, the concourses emptied. "Sachin is about to bat." One punch down the ground from a fractionally full Peter Siddle delivery confirmed the touch was still there. Silence descended when he played back to Muttiah Muralitharan, on 44 from as many balls, and missed. Murali cracked a mischievous grin.
When Collingwood removed Lara and Rahul Dravid with successive deliveries it was left to Finch and Shivnarine Chanderpaul to hammer out victory on the anvil of pragmatism. The romantics may have experienced just a touch of disappointment.
The players took the field in old-fashioned whites and MCC cable-knit sweaters, with only the colours of their caps - Tendulkar's XI in dark blue, Warne's wearing canary yellow - to distinguish sides. While the sky above was grey, Lord's itself was a palette of colour, from elderly gents in egg-and-bacon ties, young men in red trousers and tweed, to windcheater-clad families and numerous fans wearing India shirts.
Lord's is glibly referred to as the home of cricket but there was something especially welcoming about the atmosphere. After 200 years of hosting MCC matches, the doors were thrown wide open.
As exhibition fixtures go, this was one that promised much in the way of artistry. Warne had joked beforehand that he didn't much fancy having another bowl at Tendulkar or Lara - and Lee ensured sure he didn't have to - but a full house was keen to see famous rivals locking horns again, even if the pervasive goodwill inevitably diminished the intensity.
Lee charging in to Virender Sehwag was just the stuff; Finch tossing up his occasional left-arm spin to Collingwood perhaps less so. This was not so much getting the band back together as asking several different bands to recombine and try to master a diverse selection of hits. The innings of Yuvraj and Finch aside, it was not quite "All the Old Showstoppers" by the New Pornographers; but like the Rolling Stones - or the strolling bones - this gig was always going to pull the crowds in.
Before the match had even begun, people thronged the cordoned-off walkway from the Nursery Ground nets, smartphones held aloft in tribute. Lara's passage caused a palpable ripple, before vigorous chants of "Dravid! Dravid!" broke out at the appearance of Sachin's old mate.
The game was hymned by a contented buzz around the ground, the most intense applause reserved for any Tendulkar activity - though the two individual century-makers brought large sections of the crowd to their feet. It was Tendulkar who ended Yuvraj's six-studded stay, having brought himself on to bowl in the last ten overs. After the match, as Tendulkar signed autographs in front of the Tavern Stand, one of the advertising hoardings gave way beneath the press of bodies. No wonder he feels at home here.
There was also a warm reception for Kevin Pietersen, a batsman who craves full-house approbation but whose only England role nowadays is as a member of the The Expendables. A stroke-filled hundred may have caused embarrassment for the ECB on their own patch - even before Andrew Strauss' indiscretion in the Sky commentary box - but Pietersen walked past an Ajmal doosra to be stumped for 10.
As Ajmal ran through the top order, it seemed likely the MCC would have to hastily arrange a beer match to fill the time left in the day (at Lord's, it would of course be a champagne match). Tendulkar took pity and brought on Finch to bowl, easing Yuvraj and Collingwood into a stand that eventually yielded 131.
Lee began proceedings at a sedate 70mph, that winsome smile never far away. Adam Gilchrist's rapier-like flashes through the off side were accompanied by some firm punches from Sehwag - as well as the odd play-and-miss - and the fifty opening stand was raised inside seven overs.
Sehwag, wearing his now customary spectacles, was beaten through the gate as Lee warmed up to medium pace, before Ajmal's introduction triggered a slide to 68 for 5. This may have been a birthday celebration but Ajmal was in no mood to clown around, sinuously defeating each of Gilchrist, Tamim Iqbal, Pietersen and Shahid Afridi in the space of three overs. The situation called for something a little less starry; out strolled "Brigadier Block".
Collingwood was dropped on 29 by a substitute fielder - an MCC Young Cricketer named Jordan Price, who will always be able to tell his grandchildren that he shelled a dolly in front of the grandstand. Yuvraj, still short of his hundred, then survived a thin nick that Chris Read could not hang on to. When a Yuvraj top edge fell between a non-moving Finch and a slow-moving Lara in the covers, the sense that this was a glorified club match returned. But what is life without a little glory?

Instructions by Nadel Paris for Producing Music
Ms. Nadel Paris (a recording artist, musician, music producer) would like to share some revelations into the act of music production with you. Many folk think producing music is something complicated, and takes too long to learn. The actuality is that, that idea is both true and false.
It does take forever to become a great producer, but you can start manufacturing music in a matter of minutes. All that you need is your PC, production software, some loops or something to record (along with a microphone), and someone to offer you some instructions on music production.
The first ones are pretty easy to find. There are free music production software available, places to download free loops, even an inexpensive microphone will work, and a sector of sounds to record. The tricky part is finding someone to give you music production instructions, in a digestible manner.
The truth is that as soon as you place your fist loop into a track, and start playing with it you have now become a music producer. Once you have found a superb source of instructions for manufacturing music, you can increase your skills, but that really is how simple becoming a music producer is.
The instructions I'm going to give you for manufacturing music right now are that there are few rules. That isn't sound like instructions, but the best teacher for making music is yourself. The music is inside you, all anyone else can do is tell you their tricks for bringing it out. Tricks that won't work for you. So don't be afraid to just play around and experiment.
So now that you know how straightforward it is to start manufacturing your own music, get your hands on some production software, some loops and start producing some music! It honestly is the most satisfying past time Nadel Paris has ever had, and she hopes you will go and explore it more.

Meri Durga 26th January 2017 Written Episode Update – 1st Episode
The Episode starts with a beautiful morning sight in a village background. The people pass by chanting. Durga's father does the Surya dev puja. He calls out Durga. He gets dressed in the school peon uniform. He does not see Durga on bed and thinks where did she go. He sees her sleeping under the bed and smiles. He wakes her up and asks her to go and get ready fast, its Maths exam today. He takes Durga to school on his cycle and talks to her on the way. He tells her importance of studies. He says you will become big officer and come in red light car, I will salute you, my life passed in peon's clothes, I just want my daughter's head to look up and eyes seeing the sky. Durga sees the sky and smiles seeing a kite. He drops her to school.
Durga does not get Maths solutions and says who made
this question paper. She has her own logic to every question and writes down. She appears much innocent and also poor in studies. She asks a boy to help. The boy says I don't know. The classmates ask each other for answers. A studious boy is busy writing exam and does not help. Teacher scolds a boy. A girl asks for supplement. Durga thinks what is she writing in it.
Durga looks out of window. She sees the kite in the sky. Her exam ends. Durga's father welcomes a lady officer and salutes her. He holds the umbrella. She sees his name on badge and says Yashpal ji, I don't need this. Principal welcomes her and thanks her for coming. She says your school result will show whether my coming is good luck or not, I came here for inspection. She does not take even tea. Yashpal and other peon talk of her. Yashpal says I have to make big officer like her, I wish Durga passes this exam, then she will get scholarship, further studies will get easy. Other peon asks are you mad, every father dreams of daughter's marriage and you are dreaming to give big files in her hands. Yashpal says my daughter will get down red light car when I dream and laughs.
Durga runs to look after the kite. Yashpal asks Durga's friends about her, where is she, how was her exam, did she write all questions. The boys say no, we don't know. Durga is seen running in the fields after the kite.
Athletic competition goes on in village. Durga comes there. A coach asks his student to break all records. Durga jumps over the wrestler while seeing the kite and falls down. She gets up and rights. The boys compete in the running race. Durga runs with the boys, while looking at the kite. She runs ahead of the boys. The coach and organizers get shocked seeing her, and wonder from where did the girl come in between the race. Durga runs, unaware of the race. She crosses the finishing line and sets new record. She goes and takes the kite. The coach looks at her. The people clap for her. The man asks coach who is she. Coach says bullet. Durga sees the crowd and runs out in the fields. The coach looks on.
Durga sells the kite and the thread to a boy and takes money. The boy challenges her for kite flying. She says this money is not for competition and betting, its for….. She runs towards home. She makes her a cycle fall. She thinks she will get scolded. She looks inside the house, and sees the family talking. She tells their lines along with them.
Durga's aunty says my husband Brij got a good proposal for Amrita, its wrong if we welcome the groom's family, we did our work, now Yashpal should do his duty. Yashpal drinks tea. He says right, I will do something, I have less money, proposal came early, I wanted groom's family to come later. He asks Brij how is the guy. Brij praises the guy, and says Amrita's fate is really good. Yashpal's Amma asks him to see guy once. Yashpal says no need, Brij has seen him, it means I have seen him. Durga smiles and comes inside the house. She says groom for Didi is found and dances. She makes things fall.
Durga's aunt asks her husband to scold Durga. Brij scolds Durga to obey his wife and then signs Durga not to care. Durga is sent to study. Amma says don't refuse groom's family to come, Yashpal will manage everything, if this talk gets set, then Brij will arrange nek and shagun. Brij says yes, there is no problem. His wife stares at her. Brij says I have to open shop and goes.
Yashpal and his wife have a talk. She cries and worries for her daughter. He says if Durga studies well, respect and everything will come in this room, a big officer came in our school today, she took principal in hand, this is the power of the post, even if Durga studies bit and becomes head clerk, peons will greet her and ask her to have tea and juice. Durga comes and hugs him, saying I don't like tea and juice. He laughs. Her mum says we want tea cups and utensils, as groom's family is coming tomorrow. Durga asks them to borrow it from aunt. Yashpal asks Durga to go and study, they will see all this. His wife says we need atleast 300-400 rs for tea and snacks, how to arrange that. She goes to arrange dinner. Durga smiles seeing the 10rs and goes to keep it in her mum's purse. She says some thing will come by this money.
Durga goes to Amrita on terrace and asks are you thinking of would be groom. Amrita says I m worried for clothes, what to wear, I don't know what to do, cousin Shilpa's clothes are not fitting me now. Durga gets an idea.
Its morning, Durga plucks mangoes from the tree. She asks her friend to give the dress now, I have plucked 21 mangoes, I will return dress tomorrow, thanks. She takes the dress and goes. The teacher tells students that he is giving them the exam papers back, they can check their marks. Durga worries seeing her exam paper.
Yashpal asks how many marks did Durga get. Durga says I will not tell this today, my Bua is coming today. Durga's cousin gets her exam paper and thinks to get Durga beaten up. She gives exam result to Yashpal. Durga gets scared.

Blink Fitness' "Every Body Happy" Campaign is a Step in the Right Direction
By Emily Benko--Blink Fitness' Every Body Happy campaign puts fitness stereotypes to rest and promotes the idea that fitness is for all shapes and sizes. The campaign shatters the notion that people work out to attain a particular physical appearance and nothing more.
While some people grind at the gym for a physical transformation such as weight loss, others strive for positive psychological results, such as boosted confidence and contentment. The beneficial effects of endorphins warranted attention long ago, but I applaud this gym franchise for sparking a much-needed conversation.
The movement's slogan cleverly argues that "Feeling good is the new looking good." I couldn't have said it better myself, and that's not the happy-hued advertising talking. Their cheeky images and feel-good teaser promote diversity, inclusivity and positivity in the workout world.
Blink Fitness' campaign is backed by an online survey conducted by Harris Poll. The results were outstanding, but not astonishing. A whopping 82% of Americans indicate that exercise increases their overall well-being: 49% feel healthier, 35% feel happier and 24% handle anxiety more efficiently.
I, personally, would have perceived fitness differently during my teenage years if there were a campaign like this one working to increase awareness and make fitness more approachable. Athleticism doesn't come naturally to me, so gym class was daunting as a child. It wasn't until I graduated high school that I understood that I don't need to run a ten-minute mile in order to experience the various upshots of moving my body.
Blink Fitness' attention-grabbing campaign breaks stereotypes of gym-goers. It inspires me, the girl who gets winded climbing a staircase, to muster up the bravery to confidently saunter into my neighborhood gym. It demonstrates that the entire population is worthy of feeling good, both inside and out.
This campaign—and the message behind it—can help everyone to understand the importance of a healthy and wholesome lifestyle, and to see it as within their reach. We all have different, even silly, ways that we can make exercise work for us—and we should embrace those methods, rather than trying to look and act like everyone else at the gym.
Honestly, I recently shamelessly snagged myself a pair of trendy crops for a hot yoga class. It may seem ridiculous, but the funky pants motivated me to kick some Zen booty. Also, I perused Pinterest for creative and nutritious snack options. Fast forward a few months, and I still look forward to a Trader Joe's run to stock up on delish nibbles. These are my little ways to treat my body well, and they might not work for the next person, but it's about finding what works for me.
Progress is hard work, but if Blink Fitness can take a step in the right direction—by demonstrating that health is about your complete well-being and not a pants size—then anything is possible!
About the blogger: Emily Benko is a communications major at St. Petersburg College. Nothing makes her happier than precious time spent with special needs children. Additionally, she encourages others to make self-love their full time job. She hopes that her passion for online blogging can positively impact anyone on the road towards recovery.

TalkTalk is giving consumers the chance to save money when switching to its entry-level SimplyBroadband tariff.
The firm is offering six months' half-price broadband to new customers, and also those returning to TalkTalk from another service provider.
This means customers can initially pay just £1.75 per month plus line rental for broadband, rising to £3.50 per month plus line rental after the introductory discount period.
All subscribers can take advantage of up to 16Mb download speeds, an unlimited usage allowance and a free connection worth £30.
They also receive a free wireless broadband router - which allows access to the internet on a range of web-connected devices anywhere in the home - and HomeSafe, TalkTalk's network-level security solution.
Customers signing up with TalkTalk for the first time can also take advantage of £50 welcome credit, further adding to the savings obtainable.
With the SimplyBroadband tariff there is no need to pay for inclusive landline calls - only the minutes you actually use.
As such, the broadband package is suited to people who prefer to use their mobile phone rather than their landline to make calls.
Landline calls are free between TalkTalk customers and there is a limit on standard monthly call charges, to help subscribers manage their bills.
Customers are required to sign up for TalkTalk SimplyBroadband on a minimum 12-month contract.
The half-price broadband and welcome credit offers are set to run until July 23rd 2014, meaning consumers have over two months to take advantage of the deal.

Anti-piracy campaign bears fruit: China
Intensive anti-piracy campaign has led to a large-scale seizure of pirated products.india Updated: Oct 25, 2006 02:26 IST
Intensive anti-piracy campaign has led to a large-scale seizure of pirated products leading to rise in sale of certified products and increasing awareness among the business community, a Chinese official said on Tuesday.
"The campaign has produced good results," said an official with a national office responsible for cracking down on pornographic and illegal publications in Beijing.
The 100-day nationwide campaign, focusing on pirated audio and video products and computer software, was launched on July 15 by the office, the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Public Security and seven other departments of the central government.
According to the official, 19.46 million illegal publications were seized each month on an average from July through September, more than double the monthly average figure for the January-June period.
He said many dealers checked their stock and voluntarily handed over pirated products. The statistics are not complete but apparently about one million items were collected in this way.
"Audio and video product dealers and computer software dealers are much more aware of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) protection now," said the official.
He said reports from audio and video product wholesalers in Beijing and Guangzhou indicated that sale of certified products have risen by around 20 per cent since the campaign was launched.
