Clark College launched its 2009-2010 Faculty Speaker Series with a vibrant look at psychedelic rock posters from the 1960s and 1970s, presented by art professor Dr. Sally Tomlinson.
Psychedelic posters were the signature art form of the 1960s. They decorated everything from dorm rooms to offices, both in the United States and around the world. Dr. Tomlinson's illustrated lecture placed the posters within a larger cultural context that described the birth of the hippie community in San Francisco, its rise and decline and the contagion it inspired that swept across the nation, as well as political and social events of the day that affected the posters' imagery. She also explained how the posters became an important source of visual communication for the youth culture of America – and helped inspire a cultural revolution of peaceful action that affects us to this day.
Clark College art professor Dr. Sally Tomlinson (left), pictured with student Hailee Hunter, was the first presenter in the 2009-2010 Faculty Speaker Series.
"The Faculty Speaker Series provides a rich opportunity for faculty to glean insights that help us to cross-pollinate our disciplines with others. As an art history instructor, I find nuggets of information in the most surprising places – mathematics and science, certainly," said Dr. Tomlinson. "The series reinforces an interdisciplinary approach that helps us to communicate to students that every area of study has relevance and that learning comprises a complex, multidimensional – even limitless – approach to understanding ourselves, our world, our past, and opportunities for the future."
About Dr. Sally Tomlinson
Dr. Sally Tomlinson spent most of her life in California, where she earned a bachelor of arts degree from the University of California, Berkeley. She moved to Canada to study with a Van Gogh scholar but changed course to write a master's thesis on the San Francisco rock posters for the University of Victoria.
After working as a journalist in Northern California for a few years, she completed her doctoral studies in medieval Irish art history, earning her Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill in 2007. In fall 2007, she joined Clark College, where she is a full-time professor of art.
Dr. Tomlinson, who resides in Vancouver, has written essays on the rock posters for the San Diego Museum of Art, Penguin Books' Portable Sixties Reader (ed. Anne Charters, 2003) and the Tate-Liverpool's "Summer of Love" exhibition of 2007, in addition to her master of arts thesis which was completed in the early 1990s. In September 2009, she was invited to speak about the posters for an exhibition opening at the Flint Art Institute in Michigan.
Dr. Tomlinson teaches courses in Western and non-Western art history at Clark College.

CARSICK by John Waters will be available June 3rd! Follow Trashy Travels on Facebook for more John Waters related news!
The Ninth Annual Johnny Ramone Tribute will take place on Sunday, August 18, at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, where the eight-foot-tall bronze statue of the punk rock icon was constructed shortly following the guitarist's death of prostrate cancer in 2004.
Someone over at TLC must be a John Waters fan! In homage to Polyester's Odorama cards, the 2nd season premiere of HERE COMES HONEY BOO BOO will feature the gimmick, Watch-n-sniff! The smelly cards can be picked up in the July 15th issue of People Magazine (Matthew Perry cover) and also the July 22nd issue of US Weekly (Kate Middleton cover). And, of course, we must also remember that John Waters got the idea for Odorama from William Castle's Smell-o-Vision and also AromaRama. So whether you hate to love her or love to hate her, the show has a gimmick that I can appreciate and to be quite honest, they are a loving family and I absolutely look up to them. I'm ready to get a WHIFF this Wednesday!
Also, for any new followers of this blog or for long time followers who are wondering why the hell I haven't posted much lately: I'm posting more frequently on the Trashy Travels facebook page. The photo albums there allow you to quickly find the John Waters locations you want versus digging through pages and pages of the tumblr.
I'm LONG overdue for a post (my erotic lifestyle gets in the way sometimes) but I needed to pop in today because it's John Waters birthday!
Did everyone get a lot for Christmas?
Is JOHN WATERS coming to a city near you? Here's a handy calendar to help you keep track of him in the coming months. He'll be appearing in each of these places in one form or another. To find out the venue, I'd suggest using the google machine to search "John Waters" and then the city and date!
PS: Sorry I spelled Poughkeepsie wrong in the image. I can never have nice things.
PSS: I know, I know…I'm mad too. He's not coming to a city near me either.
Look who made the cover of the November issue of Fangoria! Happy Halloween!
So I nervously met Traci Lords yesterday and gave her the photo of me posing like Wanda from John Waters' Cry-Baby. Thankfully, she loved it AND tweeted it! She's my kind of gal! If you haven't heard it yet, check out her hot new track, 'LAST DRAG'!
Everyone's favorite neighbor (Mink Stole as Dottie Hinkle) lived at 618 Lake Drive, Towson, MD in John Waters' Serial Mom! Of course, Beverly Sutphin would like us all to think she really lived at 4215 Pussy Way. You also get a peak at 620 Lake Drive just as Beverly Sutphin is about to drive by. "Cocksucker, that's what she calls me!"
Happy 66th Birthday, John Waters!
Love, Trashy Travels
The original Tracy Turnblad wrote a book! Ricki Lake's Never Say Never: Finding a Life That Fits hits shelves today! It includes a foreword by John Waters and pictures of Ricki Lake with Divine that I've never seen before!
In other Divine news, I've been slacking with this Tumblr lately because I've been working on another Divine project that it sure to be a smash! (Details to hopefully come soon) Plus, my regular job has been hectic so it's been much easier to post on on the Trashy Travels facebook page. So, please, join me there! Or, in the words of Poltergeist's Tangina, "Cross over children, all are welcome, all welcome!"
And finally, be sure to check out my Trashy John Waters related t-shirts designed by me!
WHO on EARTH would want to HARASS poor Dottie Hinkle?
The Governor's Mansion from John Waters' HAIRSPRAY is located at 514 E. Seminary Ave., Towson, MD 21286!
Thanks to Robert Maier (author of Low Budget Hell Making Underground Movies with John Waters) for helping with this one!
1983's The House on Sorority Row was filmed in a suburb of Baltimore using the talents of John Waters Dreamlanders Vince Peranio and Robert Maier. Even Pecker's Memama (Jean Schertler, FULL OF GRACE!) had a bit part as a nurse!
The 1912 Colonial country mansion (aka Eltonhead) where filming took place was rumored to have been torn down. But after 30 years it's only been converted into 4 townhomes & completely surrounded by new roads and homes. Just to be sure I found the right location, I've supplied an old aerial photo that shows where the famous swimming pool used to be!
A brand new 2-disc dvd was just released and you can even read about the day John Waters showed up on the set in Robert Maier's Low Budget Hell: Making Underground Movies with John Waters
And, as luck would have it, the main part of the house (1 of the 4 townhomes) was for sale recently and you can see a picture of the staircase looking exactly like it did in the movie.
And finally, here's where it is:
26 Bellchase Court, Pikesville, MD 21208*
- This is a newer address given to the house after the surrounding development began. The mansion used to have a long, winding driveway that led to Park Heights Avenue.

Is Green Belt set to be breached for homes? (From thisisoxfordshire)

Is Green Belt set to be breached for homes?
5:00pm Tuesday 24th June 2014 in News By Damian Fantato, Council Reporter, also covering Oxford city centre. Call me on 01865 425429
OXFORDSHIRE has changed substantially since the mid-1950s. But one thing that hasn't changed at all is the expanse of countryside that surrounds Oxford.
Work on drawing up the Oxford Green Belt started in 1955 and since then, for good or ill, this protected area of land has remained untouched.
But the increasing need for housing around the county has put unprecedented pressure on the Green Belt, with calls – particularly from Oxford City Council – for its boundaries to be reshaped for the first time.
A study released in March of future housing needs has moved the goal posts and made building on the Green Belt even more of a pressing issue.
All Oxfordshire's district and city councils have draw up Local Plans to set out where homes could go.
The councils jointly commissioned a study of housing need – a strategic housing market assessment or SHMA – and the results, published in March, said far more homes will be needed than in the Local Plans.
The four district authorities and Oxford were planning for 54,700 new homes by 2031 but the SHMA said this would have to be 100,060.
With Labour-run Oxford City Council hoping to expand the city outwards and the rural district councils which surround it not so keen, whether that review takes place has become a political hot potato.
The city council wants to see a partial review of the Green Belt and has put together a study which has identified land where homes could go, including around Kidlington, Barton and south of Grenoble Road.
City council leader Bob Price
City leader Bob Price said: "The only way you can get a Green Belt review is by working through the local plan inquiry process.
"We now have to work through the process of working out where the appropriate sites are for accommodating that housing need.
"There is some Green Belt within the city boundaries but most of it is high quality landscape such as Port Meadow, which is untouchable.
"Everyone accepts that in planning for housing and employment growth we shouldn't damage the environment of the county as a whole because it is very beautiful.
"What we are saying is that in terms of urban extension to the city the amount of land needed would be incredibly small compared to the overall size of the Green Belt."
A stark example of the division between the city council and its neighbours is Green Belt land south of Grenoble Road, which skirts the southern border of Greater Leys. The city council has long-held ambitions to develop the land with up to 4,000 homes.
A large part of this land is owned by the city council – with the rest owned by Magdalen College – which makes is a potentially an easy development to get off the ground.
But it sits just outside its boundaries and inside Conservative-run South Oxfordshire District Council, meaning the city council cannot designate it for housing or review the Green Belt in that area.
South Oxfordshire has equally long-held objections to developing the land and in the review of its local plan following the SHMA it has instead come forward with proposals such as a new town between Wallingford and Thame.
In the Vale of White Horse, the district council is planning to build some 20,000 homes by 2031, including more than 1,000 in the Green Belt, including north of Abingdon and around Drayton.
Radley resident Graham Steinsberg is objecting to plans for 710 new homes in the village and neighbouring Kennington, which he says will create one large settlement engulfing them both.
He said: "There are a number of issues for us, not least of which is that the villages will just become a conurbation.
"We are trying where possible to protect the Green Belt. It exists for some very good reasons. They have to ask whether they have looked at other sites first before diving into the Green Belt."
In North Oxfordshire, Cherwell District Council opted to put 16,000 homes in its new local plan rather than the 22,000 recommended by the SHMA and this led to a planning inspector calling a halt to the inquiry that was supposed to approve it so that the local authority could go away and find space for the extra homes.
David Betts, chairman of Kidlington Parish Council, said: "We really don't want to see Oxford coming out towards Kidlington. We want to see Kidlington remain as a separate settlement.
David Betts
"We don't want the village to be an urban sprawl and the Green Belt helps Kidlington retain its own identity."
But the expansion of science and technology across Oxfordshire, including at Begbroke near Kidlington where an incubator for high-tech manufacturing businesses is planned, means the demand for houses in the area is only likely to go up.
Despite this, Helen Marshall, director of the Oxfordshire branch of the Campaign to Protect Rural England, said there should be no Green Belt review.
Helen Marshall of the Campaign to Protect Rural England
She said: "There are a number of purposes of the Green Belt but the main one is to stop urban sprawl and to protect the character and setting of Oxford.
"The problem with reviewing the Green Belt is that it never stops at a few little changes. As soon as you start nibbling away at it, the Green Belt will become ineffective and not fit for purpose. The more pressure building on it the more important the Green Belt is. While everyone wants to build on it, then it is worth having.
"I think housing has to come from the bottom up and it should be up to local people to take a view about where they want to see housing in their community.
"There are a lot of communities who will accept a small amount of additional housing but want they don't want is large estate dumped on them."
Foresight in the 50s helped to halt sprawl
IN 1955, Minister of Housing Duncan Sandys encouraged councils around the country to consider protecting land around their towns and cities by creating clearly defined Green Belts.
Oxford was one of the first cities to begin drawing up a Green Belt in response to this.
The city's Green Belt was drawn up by Oxford City Council, Oxfordshire County Council and Berkshire County Council with the help of groups like Oxford Preservation Trust.
Its boundary was drawn tightly around the city and it extended five or six miles out in every direction. Some villages were included in the Green Belt while others, such as Kidlington, were surrounded by it but not formally inside it.
By the late 1950s the Oxford Green Belt was being used as part of planning policy to determine planning applications.

Andrew:Oxford says...
It's practically brownfield - goodness knows what was used to landscape it in the 1920s.
2000-3000 homes on a perfect location for most major employers and the bst schools.
What could be better?

Port Meadow is "untouchable"?! That's priceless coming from Bob Price AFTER the City Council he leads has already ruined it. That latest gem comes after he didn't see what had got people "so exercised". Cheers Bob!
Port Meadow hasn't been touched. As demanded by the Green party, full use was made of a degraded brownfield site within Oxford city centre before greenfield sites are used.
It just so happens that those apartments, built on a degraded brownfield site, have a fantastic view of Port Meadow, and come with the added benefit of helping to screen Port Meadow from the extensive railway electrification pylons and cantenary that will be installed very soon.
I trust the Save Port Meadow Campaign is joining the momentum to build on Southfield Golf Course rather than the beautiful and idylic countryside South of Grenoble Road.

Listen buddy,
Listen buddy,
PTR's cannot possibly cover everything that can occur when you have a major patch. With a game this size it's just not reasonable to expect Blizzard to be perfect. Besides, the point of this patch is to FIND these issues so you dont have them on Cataclysm's launch.
If your going to make these kinds of comments then do it under the pretense of something other then "I didn't get what I wanted".

5 Ways to Beat the Monday Blues
Oh, Monday. That day. There have been plenty of songs written about this dreaded start to the week; there's even scientific evidence to prove that it's not just in your head. But there are different ways to approach the day that can start your week with a whole new flavor.
Tweak your morning routine with tech. Our Guide to Better Mornings via Technology can help your use your time more efficiently. Rounding up the best in apps and appliances, it's a cheat sheet to finding more time in your morning routine by using technology. From waking up to preparing breakfast to getting out the door dressed and caffeinated, we've got you covered.
Use your home. Putting together a morning routine and an evening routine can go a long way towards keeping you from being overwhelmed, and a landing strip is a big part of that. Don't think of it as just a place to put things when you come in, but also as a launch pad — a place to put things that you need to take with you the next day, from library books to dry cleaning slips to your keys.
Rethink it. After a lovely, lazy, languorous Sunday, Monday always seems to sneak up on me. Two hours into the day and I can find myself already behind on my deadlines, exhausted, snappy. Just barrel through the to-do list, I'll tell myself. Starting off this way colors the whole week. Rather than jumping straight into my to-do list, I've begun to start the week by shutting the metaphorical door to my office (turning off my email, putting my phone on silent) and spending an hour mapping out what I hope to accomplish for the week. More than just a to-do list, it's an action plan that lets me approach the week effectively and helps me prioritize emails, phone calls and other crises that arise by asking the simple question: will they forward my goals for the week? If the answer is no, they go on the back burner. When I make myself start the week this way, I find that Mondays are much calmer, and I get more accomplished during the week.
Take time to do something nice for yourself. Most of us cram the good things into the weekend with a little spillage into Friday. This leaves Monday barren and grey. Instead, stick something improbable into your day. Buy flowers for your desk, schedule a nice lunch out at a new place, sneak in a movie at lunch. By giving the day a new, fun spin, it'll become a day to look forward to as much as Friday (well, almost).
Start your Monday on Sunday. What do you have planned for Monday? By taking a look at your schedule the night before, you can put a lot less stress on the next day. Plan your outfit and get together the things you need for the next day, have a nice dinner and pack up the leftovers for lunch, take a bath, meditate, get into bed early and read. (A clean bedroom makes this a lot more inviting!) Then wake up refreshed and ready to start the week.

I find that taking time Monday morning to map out my week really does help me. But I doubt I would ever be able to sneak in a movie during lunch. Who can take 2 hours for a lunch!?
I find that Sundays are much more gloomy than Mondays since the Monday is impending... it never feels like a truly "free" day to me. But when Monday comes I don't feel half so bad. Though in this day and age, we should all be grateful if we have somewhere to be on a Monday.
My best Monday ever was when I snuck out for FIVE hours and watched two Sundance Film Festival movies. *sigh* Being the boss does have its privileges (but so, too, responsibilities).
But that mapping out the week idea is very good. I'm fixing a cup of tea and will get right on it.
I try to keep my Monday nights free, to catch up on fun stuff I didn't get to on the weekend, or just to rest up for the rest of the week. That way I don't have to cram it all in on Saturday and Sunday.
I've recently started baking something on Sunday night so I'll have a "treat" in my lunch on Monday. It's somewhat reminiscent of childhood, but it helps to have a homemade lunch instead of foraging for something when I already feel overwhelmed.
Archdarling: so true...!...It helps being the Monday of 'payweek' for us biweekly's...which it is mine.. : )
I meant true about the having a job to GO to..these days..that'll perk ya right up..
Sundays can be worst than Mondays. But I find that when the weather gets warmer I try to soak up the sun literally by being outside all weekend. Instead of mulling over the fact that Sunday means Monday is tomorrow, I am too busy fiddling around in the yard. Before you know it, Monday arrives and my body is sore from all of the work I did that I cannot wait for the next warm weekend! (Just this past weekend alone, I ripped carpet out of the upstairs on Saturday and cleaned up the entire back and front yard!) I am inspired-Monday is the launch pad for the rest of the week! Archdarling: I totally agree! I am grateful to have a good paying job.
I go to yoga on Monday nights! It gives me something to look forward to as I get back to the office after a good weekend or even after a bad one.

Leo McCarey, Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr open presents during the making of An Affair to Remember (20th Century Fox, 1957)
Why did you decide to remake Love Affair as An Affair to Remember?
Because a lot of people said it was the best love story they ever saw on the screen — and it's also my favorite love story. Two decades had passed: a lot of young people couldn't have seen the first version, so I felt I should tell the story again - for them.
For the remake, I also wanted to see if I was as good a writer and as good a director as I'd been twenty years before when I made the original. Every night I stayed up trying to improve the picture. I rewrote nearly a third of the dialog. I wanted to surpass the McCarey of twenty years ago. I always remember the time I met Deborah Kerr in Madrid and she said, "Do you remember the dialog on the bridge? 'Winter must be very cold for those who have no memories to keep them warn, and we have already missed the spring.' Do you remember that, Leo?" I said, "Of course, I stayed up one whole night writing that line."

Study Geology
The programme includes studies of the nature of rocks and minerals, their mode of origin and environment of formation; the study of past life and palaeoenvironments; the physics and chemistry of the Earth and major Earth processes such as plate tectonics and mountain building (tectonics).
Prospectus: BSc UCAS Code F600
Prospectus: MSci UCAS Code F601
Degree Benefits
- At least 105 days of field classes in Cornwall, Dorset, Scotland, Spain and Italy and independent field mapping projects in Scotland and Spain, with financial support from the Department.
- The programme is fully accredited by the Geological Society of London, and the department will pay one year's subscription for you to become a student fellow of the society.
- World-leading research in mineral, ice and rock physics, and in geophysical hazards, is undertaken in the department and is used in the development of our courses.
- World-class facilities include hosting the UK's only NASA Regional Planetary Image Facility, use of the UCL University of London Observatory, and collaboration with the Natural History Museum.
Degree Overview
Together with subject-specific skills, the MSci also provides a strong intellectual and practical platform for those who wish to pursue non-geological careers as it integrates a wide range of ideas from many different scientific disciplines, including chemistry, physics and biology, and provides training in the application of scientific methods and knowledge to complex problems.
The programme includes studies of the nature of rocks and minerals, their mode of origin and environment of formation; the study of past life and palaeoenvironments; the physics and chemistry of the Earth and major Earth processes such as plate tectonics and mountain building (tectonics).
The programme includes field courses and independent field mapping projects. The field provides a natural laboratory where students can learn to apply and develop skills which complement and build upon lectures and laboratory-based coursework whilst being exposed to the true complexity of natural geological systems.
The first two years of the BSc and MSci programmes will be the same. However, the additional fourth year of the MSci allows for an individual research project and advanced options, providing extra depth and breadth of knowledge. We recommend you apply for an MSci initially, as this keeps more options open.
Your Learning
We use a mixture of lectures, practical classes, field courses, directed reading, problem-orientated learning, private study and tutorials to enable you to gain the theoretical knowledge and practical skills demanded by the programme, as well as to develop key transferable skills such as critical analysis, report writing, team working and organisational skills.
You will be assessed by a combination of written examinations, practical examinations, coursework, independent project reports and an oral examination.

The Impact of Jury Race in Criminal Trials
AbstractThis article examines the impact of jury racial composition on trial outcomes using a data set of felony trials in Florida between 2000 and 2010. We use a research design that exploits day-to-day variation in the composition of the jury pool to isolate quasi-random variation in the composition of the seated jury, finding evidence that (i) juries formed from all-white jury pools convict black defendants significantly (16 percentage points) more often than white defendants, and (ii) this gap in conviction rates is entirely eliminated when the jury pool includes at least one black member. The impact of jury race is much greater than what a simple correlation of the race of the seated jury and conviction rates would suggest. These findings imply that the application of justice is highly uneven and raise obvious concerns about the fairness of trials in jurisdictions with a small proportion of blacks in the jury pool.

MIMOAcronym for multiple-in, multiple-out.
MIMO (multiple-in, multiple-out) takes advantage of multiplexing to increase wireless bandwidth and range. MIMO algorithms send information out over two or more antennas and the information is received via multiple antennas as well. On normal radio, multiplexing would cause interference, but MIMO uses the additional pathways to transmit more information and then recombines the signal on the receiving end. MIMO systems provide a significant capacity gain over conventional single antenna systems, along with more reliable communication. The benefits of MIMO lead many to believe it is the most promising of emerging wireless technologies.

8 Places Almost Everyone Forgets To Clean
There are some places we only clean a few times a year and then there are places that, somehow, often never get cleaned. They just don't seem to need it...but they do. Now, we're not suggesting you go all OCD but you might want to add a few of these to your annual, or semi-annual, clean up.
- Space Underneath Appliances or Keyboards: most of us just wipe down the counter or the desktop without actually moving this stuff and then you do and you discover that underneath that appliance are a ton of crumbs. While you're at it you might want to take a sponge to the bottom of your appliances too before the dust turns sticky.
- Dishwasher: it gets clean when you run it, right? Uh, not so much. Small bits of food may get stuck in crevices and around the door's rubber gasket. A toothbrush can help you dislodge them; running the dishwasher on hot, empty except for a cup of vinegar or tang can help remove greasy grime, sanitize and remove any musty odours.
- Walls: we spend a lot of time cleaning our floors but most of us never clean our walls, except maybe the tile in the bathroom. But they get dirty especially if, like us, you have a window or two that faces out to the street. Going at 'em with the occasional feather duster should do the trick for most of the walls in your home but if you use spray products in the bathroom, you might want to wipe down the walls around your mirror where the excess lands.
- Ceiling: see above. dust accumulates here as well as walls or floors. a swipe with a feather duster should do the trick if you take care of it regularly. Drop a feather duster into your vacuum's long extension tube so you can reach your ceiling.
- Curtains: Go over them with the brush attachment on your vacuum and, once a year, it's a good idea to take them down and have them cleaned.
- Washing Machine and Dryer: like your dishwasher, this needs to be cleaned every so often. Wipe it down with a spray cleaner, fill it with hot water to which you've added a cup of lemon juice (for rust), white vinegar (for odors) or bleach (for stains) and run it through a full cycle.
- Vacuum Cleaner: a little tlc after you use it will make it work even better. Clean the attachments in warm soapy water, comb out the brushes (we have to cut off the hair that gets entangled in ours), wipe down the exterior and the cord with a soft cloth. And, if you can, take it in for maintenance every once in a while.
- Box Spring: we change the sheets but neglect the box spring. vacuum it regularly.
- Garbage Can: wash it down with soapy water and, when it's dry, sprinkle a little baking soda in the bottom to absorb odours.
- Flush Handle on the Toilet Bowl: wipe this down with a little spray cleaner
- Knife Block: we almost never clean this but the other day we noticed that it was a little sticky from being in the kitchen. a little warm soapy water should do it. same with that big jar that catches all your kitchen tools.
- Anything Hung Up in Frames: dust these or clean them with a little spray.
- Areas Under the Bathroom or Kitchen Sink: along with being a mess of sponges, cleaners and rags, this almost never gets cleaned out. Spend a few minutes cleaning and organizing it.
- Exterior Light: a little bird recently made her nest in ours. while we don't want to disturb her, when she leaves we'll give this a good dusting. Yeah, this is probably the maintenance man's work but he definitely misses it.

I realized I'm going to have to clean my walls soon because of my large dogs. There is a dingy area in a corner where one sleeps at night.
Another place that I need to work on is the inside of my kitchen cabinets. They look a little dusty.
Good reminders!
Another place is underneath large pieces of furniture - It's amazing how much dust and crap can accumulate beneath sofas, beds and dressers...
"we're not suggesting you go all OCD"
Well good, I'm glad to know that you're not suggesting that we go out and pick up an anxiety producing mental disorder. Eesh.. consider a bit more thoughtful term next time maybe?
i just moved my fridge and stove out last night from against the wall...i had to clean the sides and underneath. gross!
Wow! I thought my to do list was finished! Boy, was I wrong! Thanks for the info, I will make sure to clean these areas, as I have bad allergies! I hate to think of all the dust bunnies lurking in these places, but better gone then here!
The insides of lampshades tend to accumulate quite a bit of dust too!
My vacuum cleaner worked so much better after I cleaned it. Totally worth it.
I'll add the handles or the sides of the fridge/freezer where you pull to open. That is some serious nastiness.
This is the kind of stuff I get distracted with when I should be doing something else. That is the only time it ever happens.
Helpful tips, but sometimes all the recommendations (from everyone, not just you, AT) get a bit overwhelming. Like, if someone filled a calendar with all the stuff you're supposed to do in the span of a year (check the smoke alarms each month, exercise 5 days a week, flip the mattress twice yearly, trim the dog's toenails weekly), would there be any time left?
While you're cleaning the walls, go over your molding and outlet plates.
who has a "maintenance man" ?
"Drop a feather duster into your vacuum's long extension tube so you can reach your ceiling."
That is the best suggestion I've heard! I can't believe I never thought of it. I have 12-foot timber ceilings and I can never figure out how to get up there to dust them down. Thank you AT for this great tip!
Call me disgusting, but being reminded of somewhere I'm not cleaning is not appreciated :D
Don't forget DOORS - anywhere you touch with your hands such as face plates where you might push a door shut, fridge doors, bathroom cabinets, door handles, cabinet handles etc! Door frames too - anywhere you lean against!
While I agree with you, Ifmyheartwasahouse, I also think a lot of these things can easily be added in to your cleaning regime without being huge time-sucks.
For instance, maybe once every 4-6 months, you flip the mattress when you change the sheets. Unless you've got your bed shoved in a tight space, it's not that difficult to do. Other things are even easier to add in: vacuuming the carpets can easily have an air vent cover plate vacuuming added in with only a minute or two extra.
Some of these things aren't every-time-you-clean requirements, but they make a difference if you tackle them even once every month or two (like washing doors and door knobs). And it's easy enough to decide to focus more on the kitchen one time and more on the bathroom the next, to ensure that everything gets cleaned with some regularity. It doesn't have to be anal-retentive to be effective.
i think the occasional ocd cleaning is a good thing.
I do have OCD, thanks for mocking me and other sufferers.
Perhaps you should save up your cleaning tips and post them in one place, an editable post where you add more when they occur to you - a 'where you should clean but often forget to' page linked from the main page - as these cleaning posts feel like you're nagging us due to their frequency.
Is cleaning the flush handle on the toilet bowl something people rarely do? That's so disgusting! I wipe it down every time I clean the toilet(once or twice a week) I thought that was normal! And I wipe down my doors and door knobs every week as well... isn't that normal?
I have OCD, too, and I have no problem with this post. Get a thicker skin, wouldya?
@ carter76 -- maybe they've scrubbed one too many layers off...
Ugh..my walls are horrible. My landlord had an air duct person come in and clean the ducts...which resulted in big, smudges on the walls around all of the vents. I've tried cleaning them but the walls are painted in a matte paint and it doesn't wipe down well at all. I'm afraid my only option is to paint.
i've used a magic eraser on wall scuff marks with success - we had floating shelves up and they left a lot of marks! the beige matte paint wasn't damaged with the magic eraser...
@Aimsly -- Awesome!
@ifmyheartwasahouse -- Thank you for saying that out loud. I feel overwhelmed by all that, as well. From beauty tips to healthy food and cooking tips to housework tips to fashion tips to exercise and meditation tips -- I can't even begin to imagine how to do it all in one week, and do the laundry and recycling, too.
i recently cleaned the slats of all the blinds - disgusting.
also, cleaning the exhaust fan in the bathroom and fan hood in the kitchen yield a gross amount of dirt.
and absolutely all door knobs and cabinet handles.
i usually do this stuff when i'm on the phone
I'm with you, rapunzel. These posts always come across to me as "5 ways you suck," or "10 ways you've failed again." Rather than helpful, they just seem anxiety-inducing: no matter how hard you've worked, your house still isn't clean enough, and YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW YOU'VE FAILED! You need us to tell you! Stop what you're doing and CLEAN SOME MORE!
@dutch girl - I agree. Why wouldn't you clean the flush handle if you're cleaning the rest of the toilet?
I give up on the walls... I don't know what the deal is. They were filthy when we moved in. Some patches even look OILY. I don't even know. And other things like doors and cupboards get filthy SO FAST that I actually wonder if this place was even painted properly! What if this whole place just got a coat of primer? The mysteries!
My cleaning lady (who only comes every other week) pointed this one out to me: You know those little felt glider pad gizmos you put on the bottom of chair legs? I have them placed on the bottom of all four bar stools. Talk about dust magnets! I now de-fuzz these suckers every few days... Blech!
If you have textured ceilings, cleaning them every three months will dramatically cut down on the dust in your home. In each place I've lived that I've had them, I found this to be true. For me the best way was to use the bare floor attachment and vacuum them, but you could also sweep them with a regular broom. Do the ceilings before doing the rest of the cleaning or you'll have to redo everthing. It's amazing how much dust they will accumulate and hold.
Here's a gross one - I once had a dish drying rack (no dishwasher) with a plastic mat under it. For a few days I smelled something bad in the kitchen and couldn't figure out where it was coming from. I finally picked up the mat and found where the stick was coming from. There were little maggots wiggling around in stale water.
I now have a drying rack with legs, so I can always see under it.
As a chronic re-arranger of my living room, I can justify it when friends make fun because I end up doing a thorough cleaning of the floor, carpet, and under all pieces of furniture as soon as they are moved.
Who rarely cleans their flush handle!?! Eeeesh!
(btw: "flush handle" is in the #10 spot... weren't there suppose to be just 8, as the title suggests?? there are 14 in this post!)
You could replace all these "my-goodness-you-don't-even-know-what-a-pig-you-are"-posts with these simple pointers:
A: Clean your ENTIRE house
B: If you don't have the time, hire a cleaning lady
C: If you can't afford a cleaning lady, learn to live with the fact your house CAN'T be perfect all the time
And now I'm off to dust the inside of my lightbulbs! Cheerio!
Don't forget the baseboards and ceiling fan. Get a dusting fluffy thing (too early for me to remember the name) with a long handle and just walk around your apartment for the baseboards.

A Negative Declaration is a written statement briefly describing reasons that a proposed project will not have a significant or potentially significant effect on the environment and therefore does not require the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR). In most cases, mitigation measures are required to reduce potentially significant environmental impacts to a less-than-significant level.

A delightful design that is full of romantic style! Crafted in 18K rose gold vermeil over sterling silver, each earring features a heart detail stud centered with one oval cut 4 x 6mm peach morganite. Surrounding this is a bead detailing over raised prong setting with intricate heart detail on the sides.
The total approximate morganite weight is 0.80ct. These earrings measure 7/16"L x 1/4"W and secure with butterfly backings.
Part of the NYC II Collection. Made in China. All weights pertaining to gemstones, including diamonds, are minimum weights.
Additionally, please note that many gemstones are treated to enhance their beauty. Click here for important information about gemstone enhancements and special care requirements.
Morganite is the soft pink, sometimes peach or lavender colored, variety of beryl. Often referred to as "pink beryl," morganite has been called "pink emerald" and "pink aquamarine" to emphasize the kinship to its popular cousins. The pastel gem is colored by trace amounts of manganese in the crystal structure. It has excellent fire and is dichroic, meaning it shows pink hues when viewed from one angle and near colorless properties from another. Almost all morganite is heat-treated to produce or enhance the pink color. Lower quality morganite occurs in colors ranging from a peach-orange to a pinkish-yellow, but once it's heat-treated, the color changes to a beautiful soft pink.
First discovered in Madagascar in 1911, morganite was named after the American banker and gem enthusiast, John Pierpont Morgan. Legend says that he went down with the Titanic, but Morgan actually missed the doomed maiden voyage and died the following year in Rome, just shy of his 76th birthday. While morganite can be found in Mozambique, Namibia, Afghanistan, Russia and the United States, the finest morganites come from Madagascar and Brazil. In fact, the largest faceted morganite came from Madagascar. It is a 598.70ct cushion-shaped stone residing in the British Museum.
Morganite's hardness ranks 7.5-8.0 on the Mohs Scale . With its dazzling luster, exquisite color and sufficient hardness, the stone is especially suitable for jewelry. Unfortunately, morganite is relatively rare. This fact alone prevents it from achieving greater popularity as a jewelry gem.
Earring Back Types
Butterfly Back: A double looped piece resembling a butterfly that fits over a post. Variations on this design are called push back clasps. The basic post and butterfly back are usually used for stud earrings and lighter weight drop earrings.
Hinged Snap Backs: This clasp features a hinged post that snaps into a groove on the back of the earring. It is commonly found on hoops. Sometimes the hinged post is curved to provide more room to fit around the ear, sometimes called a saddleback.
Hook Backs: This earring backing is simply a long, bent post that fits through the piercing. Hooks have several variations, most notably the shepherd's hook and the French hook. While thin wire hooks reduce the weight of long earrings, making them more comfortable, they aren't as secure as other clasp styles.
Lever Back: A hinged lever snaps shut against the curved post to form a closed loop around the ear lobe. This clasp is very secure and good for large or medium sized styles that drop just below the ear.
Omega: Also called French clips, this clasp has a straight post and a looped lever. The hinged lever closes around the post and is held against the ear with pressure. The omega clasp is the most secure clasp, especially for the larger, heavier earrings.
Screw back: This backing is a slight variation of the standard post and butterfly nut back. Instead of pushing on the back, the nut twists onto the threaded post. A screw back post design is often preferred for expensive diamond stud earrings that require increased security.
