Adding Rice Cereal to baby formula..
My daughter was 9 lbs and 14.7 oz when she was born. She is only 2 months old but EVERYBODY is telling me I need to add rice cereal to her make. The make fun of me because I disagree with them saying that I'm starving my baby. But, I don't see the benefit of adding rice cereal to her milk othere than her sleeping more through the night. But, I want her to wake up when she's hungry. I also learned that all I'm doing is adding fat cells to her stomach by adding the rice cereal. Why is Rice cereal so important or common, other that making the food sit on their stomach longer so they wont eat as much?

My son is almost 14 weeks and eats almost 6oz of formula every 4.5 hours. My pediatrician told me to add a small amount of rice cereal to his bottle or by spoon if he would take it..but he said that once a baby eats 32oz per day, it is generally good to introduce cerealposted 01/23/2010 by Angel102
My daughter is 2 months old and wanting to eat more and more all the time. So I added cereal to her formula and she loves it & so do I. I only put it in her bottle before bed which is around 8pm and she sleeps ALLLL night untill around 10am. I love it. The doctor told me I shouldnt untill she was 4months. But really it all depends on the baby! My daughter is only 2 months old and she took it just fine!!posted 12/08/2009 by AddiesMommy6614
My son is 2 mo's and his doc told me to add 2 tsp of rice cereal to his bottles due to his acid reflux, but I would have never added it just to make him sleep longerposted 11/28/2009 by Kajmama
I began adding 1T rice cereal to every 4oz breastmilk for my little one, at 5 wks old. She was sleeping 5-6 hrs at night from the time she was born (even in the hospital), then started waking up every 2.5 hrs, starving. She hasn't had any negative side effects from it. No diharrea or constipation, and now sleep 7-8 hrs at 8 wks old. She gets straight breastmilk during the day, and has taken 5oz of that since about 2wks old. I simply have a baby who loves her food. She weighs 11 lbs at 2 months old, which is a nice, healthy (average) weight. You do what you feel is right for your own child, and I find the "tried & true" methods tend to work better than "by-the-book" methods.posted 08/03/2009 by a BabyCenter Member
Sometimes babies need the rice cereal for alternate reasons as mentioned below. My son had a very hard time keeping formula down (tried 5 different kinds...) and finally adding about a teaspoon to his bottle was the ultimate answer. It is also a good source of fiber and will not harm your baby (unles for some odd reason they are allergic to rice??) Please don't let others try to tell you what is best for your baby, you are the one that knows your child best, and what is best for them.posted 06/05/2009 by poohluvr7
My daughter was almost 2 months old when she stopped breathing, and we had to do CPR and take her to the hospital. She was there for a week and they found out she has acid reflux really bad. It comes into the back of her throat and blocks her airway. Before we left the hospital with her, her doctor came in and told us to add 2 tsp. of rice cereal to every 1 ounce of formula. It will help her keep it down better, and she will sleep better, and not have heartburn as bad. She is also on medications to help her reflux. She didn't have any diarrhea or anything from it. The one and only way to know if rice cereal is for your baby or not is to talk with her doctor. If your baby has real bad reflux, talk to your doc about adding rice cereal to her formula.posted 03/08/2009 by JaidenRenee
I was having a lot of pressure to add cereal to my baby's diet. He generally has about a half of a tablespoon to each bottle. He eats about 5 or 6 bottles a day. I also give him half of a jar of baby food twice a day or once one day and the other half the following day. Depends on how hectic my day is going. Recently my doctor told me no fruit or juice for my baby. I think she thinks he's a little overweight. He's 4mos 1 wk old, 16lbs 4oz and 24" long. He doesn't look "fat" to me. I think she's just afraid he'd end up with juvenile diabetes or type 2 diabetes. I am a type 2 diabetic. I do not do juice at all. That's because I know it can really raise his blood sugar very fast. Each baby is different. Stick to your guns and remember. He/she is YOUR baby and not of the person giving advice or being pushy. Talk with his/her pediatrician. Let them be the judge. With obesity being so previlent it is better that they be a little "thin." However, they need the fat to grow.posted 01/22/2009 by a BabyCenter Member

Pet battles. For now they are a "don't care" for me. But I am also a companion pet collector. So if pet battles are foisted on me when I have one out or, even worse, if they become necessary for collecting new pets then I will hate pet battles with a passion. I hope that they will be ENTIRELY OPTIONAL.

Confessions of a Neatnick Slob
August 1, 2005
Neurosisfilter: I'm not very neat. Think "disheveled". Also, I hate to clean on a deep level, it's like a resentment. It makes me angry. Also, if my house isn't perfectly neat I feel like I'm a bad person and my life is spiraling out of control. I get depressed and angry and mean. You can imagine my dilemma.
Is there any hope for me? This seems to be getting increasingly worse as I get older. Not my tendency to leave stuff out around the house, which might actually be getting better, but my inability to cope with the fact that I do it. I've become unable to be happy while my house is out of order, and unable to keep it in order, and unable to not be miserable at the thought of putting it in order.
My parents are not to blame for the situation, but I wonder if my upringing did have an influence. My mother is a neat freak, my father is the type of guy who leaves his socks in the middle of the floor. (yeah they're divorced) When my mother would clean house every week it was one long wrathful act, full of seething anger and harsh words directed at anyone in her path. Hell hath no fury like my mama cleaning the house. My dad is sloppy, though in a fundamentally grosser way than I am. I'm wondering now if I ended up with my parents' worst traits. I have my father's tendency to let things fall apart, and my mother's tendency to feel that it's an indication of deficiency of character, and turn cleaning into an unpleasent and emotional business.
Can I learn to not mind being sloppy? (And if so, how do I deal with people's certain judgement of the condition of my house, and by extension, me?) Can I learn to like to clean? Can I learn to not ever make a mess? I'm sure anyone who does any of those three things thinks it's pretty easy, but they're all against my nature.
It's turning into a major source of unappiness, and it seems like such a silly thing to be unhappy about. Which makes me feel silly and unhappy. Which, in turn, makes me feel silly and unhappy. Is there anything I can do?

You don't like thinks messy? Not a snark, but can you afford a maid or a cleaning service to weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or whatever? It sounds like part of what makes you unhappy is when stuff builds up from you sloppiness- this way, you can still be messy but it gets clean.

My girlfriend just messaged me this link with "do you think I posted that??" so you have some idea our roles in this dance.
Putting aside the question of what else is going on in your mind that drives you to engage in a behavior that you are unhappy to engage in (and a matter for you and a shrink, methinks), I'd suggest two things I think are important with regards to being clean(er).
One, part of not living in a mess is not being messy. You hate cleaning but do you hate putting things where they belong? If you don't want to go through the house picking up clothing then a big part of removing that stress is not leaving clothing where you have to pick it up. Not letting things get out of order is obviously not something that's 100% achievable but you can build habits that have nothing to do with cleaning that will help your misery here. Don't take off your shoes anywhere but where they should go. Ditto socks and the rest of your clothing. If you pick up a magazine to take into the john, take it right back to the coffee table when you're done. Some of this is easier than you'd think - after all, you didn't sit down to eat without carrying over your plate. How hard is it to pick it back up when you stand and put it straight into the dishwasher? These are just habits you have to develop.
Two, try to stop thinking of cleaning as this giant monolithic task. If your aversion is really that strong then just pick one tiny little thing (all clothing off the bedroom floor, emptying all the garbage cans, straightening out the coffee table) and do it then STOP and reward yourself with something. Do something the next day. Try to overcome this need to be perfect: you don't have to clean everything all at once to achieve your goals. Eat the elephant one bite at a time, over time.

I'm finding that doing five- or ten-minute "cleaning flurries" -- scrubbing the toilet or tub, or wiping all the kitchen counters, or picking up all the mail that's strewn around the living room -- once or twice a day has diminished that feeling that I need to spend the next three hours THOROUGHLY cleaning EVERYTHING or else I'm a BAD PERSON.
I, too, had a mother who did the marathon house-cleaning once a week. I used to do it, too, until I realized I was avoiding it because it seemed like such a huge, sucky time commitment. But, like you, I *hate* having a messy house (which... you'd never know if you could currently see my house...).
In any event, doing short, random bouts of cleaning makes me feel like I've actually accomplished something (rather than just "failed" at getting the entire place sparkling), keeps me from totally detesting cleaning, and somehow makes the mess seem easier to handle.
Also, if you're a woman, it might help to realize that it's very easy to succumb to housework=woman's work, therefore messy house=failure as a woman. I don't think I've ever had anyone say that to me, and yet I feel it a LOT. Feeling that conflict doesn't make you neurotic, or unusual... maybe knowing you're not alone will help?

phearlez is saying most of the things I was going to:
If you want to try to keep things un-messy, you have to do it incrementally throughout the day. Period. It doesn't have to be phearlez's suggestion that you put everything in its place
(though that's the surest method); you can just pick things up a few times a day, say. Take five minutes to put things where they go, etc.
In the same vein, break it up. Do this here, do that there, don't feel like you have to tackle the whole goddam thing at once if you have a real mess on your hands.
As for making cleaning fun? Fun might not be the right word, but I find I do a much better job of getting my clean on if I'm blasting some good music. Put an album on that you like, maybe something high energy, and you may be surprised just how much you can get done in 45 minutes without cursing every moment of it.
Can you learn to not mind being sloppy? I do not know. I sure don't mind being sloppy, but my wife isn't big on it; we end up striking a balance with occasional cleaning fits when things slide too far over to messy. Sloppy itself is neither here nor there, but if minding being sloppy means minding what others think of your home, you're going to have to take a pretty serious look at how you relate to your friends/relatives/miscellaneous visitors and think about how much of this is your concerns over what they think.
Mostly, the trick, with most things, is to not obsess about it.

I grew up in a sloppy house. Learning to not hate cleaning was a lot easier for me than learning to put things away. So, my advice would be to start with cleaning. Now I don't hate cleaning, but it still takes a bit of effort to get on with it. Putting on music and, as has been suggested, giving myself a reward post-cleaning, help. Also the idea of showing off my room to others. Also keeping in mind that I'm going to do one task at a time, and not thinking about the entire house.
If I need to clean in a half hour or so because someone is coming over, it is much less painless... mostly because this avoids thought. So to the extent you can avoid thought and choice in the matter, perhaps the better. Can you set a routine where you simply will do it for 15 minutes every other day? Routine setting worked with exercise as well, turning me from gym-dreader to gym-goer (if not gym-lover), because I simply go, without thinking. So maybe this strategy can work with cleaning.
Perhaps you can relate cleaning to some other procrastination problem that you have overcome in order to convince yourself that it's OK to have procrastinated in the past, but much better to cease. So much of the circle of procrastination for me was the self-loathing (OK maybe a strong word), so if you can try to decrease that at the same time it will likely help.
Keeping a calendar with stickers for each chore I do in a week helps. I can look over the last month, and if I see several stickers it means I'm doing well, and that feels good. This helps track progress and decrease the whole self-loathing aspect by showing you just how much you've done.

I'm not as severe a case, but I know where you're coming from anon. What's been helping me most recently is about the only bit I could be bothered taking from Getting Things Done* -- if it takes less than two minutes to do, do it NOW.
So, instead of leaving your plate on the table, you put it in the dishwasher. Instead of dumping your clothes on the floor, just pop them in the hamper/machine. It's become very effective for me, and really gives me a sense of everything being in control.
My mother's solution (when she got too busy to be the clean-freak) was jmd82's final suggestion - $AU 50/week gets her a cleaner for a couple of hours who do a good-enough job of cleaning the majority of the house (living areas dusted/vac'd, bathroom cleaned, kitchen done, one other job (eg set of windows)). Luxury. You haven't lived until you've come home to a house
someone else has cleaned
*Or at least, I'm told it's from GTD. It may not be.

Hire a housekeeper/cleaning service. Every two weeks is a good interval. The cost is minimal compared to the cost of therapy.
Wisdom consists of knowing what you're good at, and what you aren't.

Apart from all the other advice, if you can't get yourself to go around and pick things up, you can at least make the bed. It's really easy and it makes everything look soooo much better.
Still not satisfied? Put some loud music on and wash the dishes. Those two things alone (bed & dishes) are easy, make a big difference, and will make you feel a whole lot better.
I'm a big slob myself with your same guilt issue and this really helps. Sometimes after the dishes, I'll keep the momentum and pick up some stuff that's laying around. The music helps so much. Good luck.

I'd like to add that, much as you might think it would help, the TV often leads to mindless staring without moving. Better is music or, if you need tv-like entertainment, talk radio. Books on tape could work, or you could even get soothing forest-sounds music.
You can even combine your reward with work. Example: if the, say, books on tape are ones that you really like, and you can only listen to while cleaning, you might actually look forward to the chores because that's when you get to hear the next chapter.

Yep - I paid for a cleaner for the first time yesterday, and it was worth every dollar. Like many of us, my mom was a bit of mad cleaner, but rather than inherit a responsibility to keep my place clean, I look upon it as spending my life cleaning as she did is not the way I want to live. Come on - we throw wads of cash away on houses, cars, gas, clothes, food, booze etc etc: I'm sure you can fit a cleaner in if it does make you that unhappy.
On the topic of learned behaviour, being messy is a bit like smoking - if you want to give it up, you have to be mindful and identify the processes that are going on in your head when you're about to make a mess/ have a cigarette. You can't look at an empty pack of cigarettes and wonder how you're going to give up smoking - you have to look at a full pack and wonder what you're going to do to stop the behaviours that are bad for you.

I grew up with a neat freak, yet came around to be the sort of person that almost never cleans (example: sheets not washed for 3 months or more; vacuum maybe once a month, less in low-traffic areas)... YET, everyone who comes over to my house comments on how clean it is.
Here are the main components of my style:
• I realized that my mother's once-a-week full house clean amounts to 52 days a year spent cleaning. That's nearly two months! I don't want to be like this; I want to use as much as my time as possible on other things. This realization makes me not so much hate cleaning as feel dismissive of it.
• I started out by being careful not to be messy. I don't splash stuff around when I cook, I check my feet when I come in from outside, etc. You'd be surprised at how much time and energy you can save by just not creating the mess in the first place.
• I don't keep anything I don't need. I'm ruthless about it. I use Freecycle and the Salvation Army and I sell books I don't like on Amazon and anything worth anything on eBay. Not having too much stuff prevents a lot of mess.
• The next thing is to understand how things get messy and put systems in place to prevent it. Put a basket on the floor of your bathroom and your closet and wherever else you tend to dump clothes, and start dumping the clothes in the basket instead of on the floor. It doesn't make your house guest-ready, but it's a lot easier to collect a few baskets and shove them in a closet when someone's coming over than it is to collect armsful of clothes and find somewhere to put them. Do the same thing for newspapers or mail or bottles/cans or whatever else piles up.
• Otherwise, do like the others here have suggested and put stuff away as you finish with it. Don't consider your laundry task done till the laundry is put away. Do the same with dishes after meals. But if you can't or won't, at least stick the dishes in a dishpan in the sink (with soapy water) and put the clothes in a clean-clothes basket (rather than on the floor or the bed).
• Buy good cleaning products that work quickly and without effort. Those Tilex shower sprays, for example.
• The times I do clean, I try to treat it like a meditation. I think I learned this when I worked at a store and spent so much time folding shirts that were just gonna get unfolded. I don't rush around clattering the vacuum and bashing into things. I chill out and run it in stripes as though I'm painting, and my brain starts working on thoughts and problems and I usually come out feeling more calm and organized than when I started.
All that said, it probably helps to be a motivated person. I've noticed that some of my friends who feel disorganized and hate to clean also hate going to Linens and Things to buy baskets. If this is like you, you could hire a personal organizer (or an organized friend) for a day to go out and get you this stuff.

A big part of not making messes is having a system of organization for your various belongings. I grew up messy, but since my early 20's, I've been slowly becoming more organized, which in turn created less mess and less need for big time cleaning.
Getting organized mostly means dividing all physical belongings into categories, then deciding where those categories belong in your home. Once you're happy with the placements, you just have to keep putting things back in the place as you find them around the house. If it's a constant thing, you never really think of it as cleaning, and it only becomes a few minutes here and there.
There are also added benefits to keeping things in their place. I'm doing my laundry right now, so I'll use this as an example: When you finish your laundry, if you take the extra 10 minutes to fold everything and put things on hangers, you'll avoid the extra time spent later ironing and looking for stuff you can't find in the pile of clothes on the floor. If you think in terms of preventing later problems rather than spending time right now, that can be a big step toward constant upkeep rather than big messes and cleaning nightmares.
on preview - a lot of the same things xo said - I'm also a bit of a minimalist which helps too.

It's turning into a major source of unhappiness
To summarize what your choices are:
(1) To hire someone to clean (doesn't address neatness issue); [mentioned above]
(2) To follow some or all of the advice above about how to attack disorder, and how to think about it;
(3) To hire someone to help you attack the disorder, and help you change your approach to it (yes, there are
professional organizers
(4) To see a counselor (of some type - a psychiatrist may be overkill) about your unhappiness. Some things are best dealt with interactively, and AskMeta, as good as it is, isn't that interactive (particularly for anonymous postings).

if folding and putting away laundry in particular is a problem,
this shirt-folding technique
can make it a lot faster. I always used to just stack unfolded t-shirts (which took a lot of space) so that i could avoid folding them but not end up with a pile of wrinkled shirts.
other than that, i'm pretty much in the same situation as you.

I am naturally not a particularly neat person, however in the past year or so I've improved things quite a bit. The key thing for me was not trying to set aside particular time, but just to do small things regularly. It helps if you set a rule that you will do something before doing something else, such as eating, going to sleep, etc. I generally have a few things that I consider equivalent, but the main thing is just picking up general clutter. For this, the task is to pick up 25 items and put them in their proper place. What I like about it is that it's pretty fast, and the faster you go, the faster it gets done. I have various rules about what constitutes one item -- obviously you can make up your own. Just picking up 25 items per day for a couple of weeks can turn a very cluttered appartment into something that's at least halfway presentable. Alternates to picking up 25 things are usually something like vacuuming, cleaning counters in the kitchen, cleaning the tub, or cleaning up the bathroom sink and related areas. I've also found that it's important to not get hung up on things not being perfect. A few things laying about is way better than total disorganizaiton.

As Professional Organizer, let me second the suggestion that you consider working with one. (That's for the "out of order" part of your concern.) The link posted earlier will help you find someone in your area, if you are in the United States at least.
One thing to remember is that there are different ways to be organized. For example, some people are more visually oriented, and don't do well with solutions that involve everything being put away where it can't be seen. A good Professional Organizer will work with that and help you develop approaches that work for YOU. This is not a hopeless situation by any means.
This is not at all a silly thing to be concerned about. Our home environments affect us tremendously, in many ways.

p3t3's advice is spot-on. The advice "put things where they belong" only works when you've got a place for everything. That's the key. Find the "correct place" for all your stuff.
The basic rule of thumb is this: when you want something,
the first place you think it might be is its "correct place."
For example, I have a tool box. If I want a hammer, that's the first place I'd think to look. If the hammer isn't there, it's in the Wrong Place.

Sometimes I make muffins or cookies. I only have one baking tin, so in between waiting for batches to bake and cool, I muck around the house picking up random shit in my A.D.D. way. Then the timer goes off, and ooh! Cookies! And then I put another batch in and wander around, scrubbing the sink and then watering the plants and maybe organizing my socks. Fifteen minutes later, more cookies. It's honestly the only way I've ever been able to bring myself to clean all those things that don't stick out as glaringly messy.

Anonymous, I'd like to Third the suggestion of finding a professional organiser. They will reassure you that you are not alone in feeling like this.
And if so, how do I deal with people's certain judgement of the condition of my house, and by extension, me?
This may be something you need to try therapy to come to terms with? It could be your Mother talking. You seem to be an intelligent, articulate and self-aware person - It isn't very likely that people judge you on how neat your house is. If you find yourself judging others like this try to give yourself a mental shake!
You have my best wishes, I really hope you can get some solution here.

Giving in to the temptation to play armchair shrink here, but it sounds to me like you're recreating the emotional environment of your parents' failed marriage in your own head. (Anger, resentment, loss of control) Unresolved issues? You don't have to do this to yourself.
Here's an alternative perspective: People who put the value of cleanliness higher than the needs and feelings of the people around them are the ones deficient in character. Be kind and thoughtful to your guests, and the only ones who will judge you on how your house looks are cold, rigid and petty.
Be kind and thoughtful to yourself too. Relaxation therapy? Scatter stuff around your living room, then put on your relaxation tape and stretch out on the couch.
In a room with conspicuous yet mild mess, practice focusing on someone else- start a conversation about their love of string instruments, or fear of forest fires. Try to anticipate their needs (can I get you a drink? are you cold?)
Every time you feel bad about your messiness, remind yourself of your parents' divorce, the emotional upheaval, the feelings, watch what reactions you have to these memories. Talk to your inner child, give him or her a cookie.
Clean your house as an act of love. (This is a bonafide form of meditation-- washing dishes, vacuuming, etc) Think about how you're doing this for your loved ones, because you care for them. Think about how you're doing this for yourself because you deserve a comfortable environment. Stop cleaning when you start feeling negative.

You need two things:
- A cleaning service.
- A cognitive therapist.
The first has been addressed extensively. I seriously recommend considering the second. Granted, I over-analyze a lot of the questions around here, but the fact that you're posting anonymously about something as innocent as cleaning, and devoting a significant chunk of your post to your relationship with your parents, raises a red flag. You may be dealing with two separate issues (cleanliness and your parents), but it definitely seems that the latter is exacerbating the former.

I suggest finding and reading this book:
Home Comforts: The Art and Science of Keeping House
by Cheryl Mendelson
I first heard about it from Kevin Kelly's Cool Tools page. I got it from the library and then bought a used copy from
Cheryl Mendelson is an attorney and professor that happens to like having a clean and well-functioning house.
The book, while it will not actually clean for you like a cleaning service, may help you with the motivation and methodology needed to do it yourself.
Note: this is not a self-help book. It serves the same function as the O'Reilly books for coding, or the service manual for your car, not the Men are from Mars... genre.
I used to fall into the perfectionist/procrastinator/fatalist cycle with cleaning. It goes something like this:
A. It's just going to get dirty again.
B. I'll clean it later.
C. If I'm going to clean this at all, it had better be perfectly clean (spends 3 hours on bathroom tile, tub, and floor, using every cleaning product and device in the house)
D. Wow, that sucked. And now I'm back to A. Better sit at B. for a while, that'll show 'em.
Ms. Mendelson describes every aspect of housekeeping, from cooking to dishes to laundry and cleaning, all the way to insurance and liability on your property and legal employment of help. Each subject is broken down into the most basic scientific or historical chunks necessary: not just the different kind of cleaning products, but the chemical basis of how they work.
Far beyond interesting trivia, this information helps. In my case, it removes the emotional drama out of making the decisions needed to alter behavior. The facts boil down to:
A. the floor is dirty
B. cleaning with a soap and water solution, followed by a rinse, is the most effective way to make it clean. No more, no less. There are faster ways to clean, but they are not as effective. There are more difficult ways to clean, but they offer no additional advantage.
C. I can either do B. now, if I have time and energy, or do it later, when I do.
Also, cleaning product labels and instructions lie to you. They lie in their teeth. You can't have a clean and dust free house for only 15 minutes a day with one wonder product. Cleaning is like any other work: it takes time and effort equal to the desired degree of perfection in the result. With the right tools and methods, that work can be done efficiently, but never instantly.
Ultimately, though, the more profound thrust of her work is to put the focus on you, the fact that taking care of your surroundings is really taking care of yourself.
As a MeFi user, I'll indulge in some profiling and guess that you are well educated, literate, and technically minded. You probably own a computer and take pride in understanding, operating, and maintaining it in a way that is efficient and useful. With the right methods, you might be able to leverage those same habits into the physical realm.

Home Comforts is indeed an awesome book, but also realize that what she describes is an idealized lifestyle that is impossible for most mortals to achieve without a full staff.
Use her advice on
to clean things, but really you don't need to change the sheets every other day and wash the kitchen floor every week.

While the election in November may seem a long time away, it's not too early to look at your calendar and plan ahead when it comes to voting. While Minnesota doesn't offer early voting, it does offer absentee voting.
Those who will be unable to vote on Election Day can vote anytime starting Friday until the day before the election.
There are four reasons to vote absentee:
1. If you will be absent on Election Day. [Think: that cruise you might be taking come November, or college students who go to school away from home.]
2. If you are ill or disabled.
3. If you are an election judge in another precinct.
4. If you will be observing a religious holiday.
To apply to vote absentee, you can print out an application from the Secretary of State website and turn it in at Richfield City Hall and Municipal Center.
Once turned in, you can vote that day in person or you can vote via USPS mail.
If you are not registered to vote yet and want to vote absentee your identification card or driver's license with a current name and address will be needed. If you've recently moved and your identification has your old address a current utility bill with current address will work.
Absentee voting at Richfield City Hall and Municipal Center can take place during normal business hours starting Friday, Sept. 21 until the end of business on Nov. 5, with special hours from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sat. Nov. 3.
For more information on elections and voting in Richfield, go to the City Clerk webpage on the City of Richfield website. The absentee ballot has been attached to this article as a PDF.
For more information on the candidates, issues and platforms for this year's election, see Richfield Patch's Election Guide.

10 Causes of Lack of Libido in Women
Sure, there are those times when your partner initiates sex and you just don't feel like it. But many women complain about never wanting to have sex—despite being attracted to their partner. As it turns out, lack of sex drive in women may be more common than you think. Here are some common causes:
Are you wondering what a "normal" libido is like? Don't. Comparing yourself to other women, in terms of the number of times you have sex in, say, a week will get you no where fast.
What's important is to determine what's "normal" for you. And if your "normal" has decreased in recent months, and you're bothered by it, than it's definitely worth figuring out what's going on with your body and your sexual health.
Statistics show that four out of 10 women experience lack of libido at some point in their lives. According to Sex and a Healthier You, the following are causes of lack of sexual desire in women:
- Prescription drugs or medications you may be taking.
- Stress
- Drug or alcohol use.
- Pregnancy.
- Recent childbirth.
- Menopausal symptoms.
- Poor body image.
- Relationship problems with your partner.
- Medical problems and illnesses.
- Female sexual dysfunction.
If you are experiencing a lack of sexual desire and are bothered by it, please bring it up with your health care professional.
Have you ever experienced a lack of libido? When and why?
- Yes. 96%
- No. 0%
- Not sure. 3%
Voting on polls is not available on The Stir Mobile.

Darth Vader's wine chiller would look something like Kalorik's double barreled wine cooler. Unlike most chillers, this one actually reads and monitors the temperature of the wine itself via a wireless probe that comes in the form of a cork. The on board LEDs notify you when the wine has reached the desired temperature and since the whole system is wireless you can monitor the wine's temperature during serving and place it back into the chiller in the event the ideal temperature is no longer achieved.
Yours for $200.

Joint Media Release
Minister for the Environment and Heritage
Dr David Kemp
Federal Minister for Industry, Tourism and Resources
The Hon Ian Macfarlane, MP
5 February 2003
Environment industry leaders, the Barton Group, today reported to the Environment Minister, Dr David Kemp, and Industry Minister, Ian Macfarlane, on the first year's progress of the Environment Industry Action Agenda.
The report was presented today to Ministers Kemp and Macfarlane by Paul Perkins, CEO of ACTEW Corporation and Chairman of the Barton Group.
The report canvasses progress on 18 recommendations, including:
These are recommendations of the Action Agenda, the strategic plan for the development of a sustainable and internationally competitive environment industry that will achieve annual sales of $40 billion by 2011.
"One of the major achievements over the last year has been progress towards establishing a roundtable of the country's business leaders to encourage the take-up of sustainable development practices. We plan to host the first meeting early this year," Mr Macfarlane said.
"Industry needs to maintain the momentum of the Action Agenda to capitalize on the rapidly increasing business opportunities available for environment industry goods and services in both the domestic and global markets."
"The Howard Government supports a range of the Action Agenda initiatives to encourage continued growth of the environment industry. Our eco-efficiency agreements, which cover many thousands of Australian companies, not only achieve real environmental results but help create awareness of environmental responsibility and generate demand for environmental goods and services," Dr Kemp said.
"We are now working to promote the concepts of environmental reporting and environmental accounting through the release of guides and case-studies developed in partnership with Australian companies."
One of the group's major accomplishments has been the establishment of several taskforces to drive implementation of the report recommendations. Industry champions leading this drive include Ian Kiernan, Clean Up Australia and Doug Dean, Managing Director of Collex Waste.
Further information on the Environment Industry Action Agenda is available at www.industry.gov.au/eiaa.

Thank you. I am a beekeeper too and that is a blown out photo of comb from one of my hives.
An NBC spokesperson, in a statement sent to the Wall Street Journal, on why the Olympic games would be made available in the United States via a tape delay instead of a live stream.
NBC played up the importance of delivering context to its audience — context like explaining who Tim Berners-Lee is. Or how about Meredith Vieira saying none of the kids who performed in the tribtue to the National Health Service "look sick?" Or "Bar Trivia with Bob Costas" in which we learn that Finland "doles" out traffic tickets based on income?
There's your context, America. That's why you couldn't watch a live stream of a global event in 2012. Context.(via producermatthew)
Everything, always, is more enjoyable sans commentary from Bob Costas. The end.(via pnhsnapshots)
So when people say that poetry is a luxury, or an option, or for the educated middle classes, or that it shouldn't be read in school because it is irrelevant, or any of the strange and stupid things that are said about poetry and its place in our lives, I suspect that the people doing the saying have had things pretty easy. A tough life needs a tough language – and that is what poetry is. That is what literature offers – a language powerful enough to say how it is.
It isn't a hiding place. It is a finding place."—Jeanette Winterson, from In Defense of Poetry (via crashinglybeautiful)

A Small Space : in the new Domino
Two hundred square feet - even after digesting all the Smallest Coolest entries we still think that is one impressively tiny home. We're happy Domino is featuring a small apartment again in this issue.
A Domino editor's spot, this apartment is all dressed up and was decorated without fear. Lots of pattern, color, and art - it is not an exercise in minimalism. We applaud this bold approach - after all, why not?
The basic scheme of white and black is taken to the top with the amazing paisley wallpaper from Cole and Sons. We still love it every time we see it (although that seems like everywhere these days).
The furniture choices are very traditional in style - the daybed, small side by side tables, two matching side chairs, a parsons desk. Even with these classic shapes the color and pattern choices make the space gutsy. We like the teal tables with the lavender sofa. The intensely colored cut flowers and wildly patterned pillows are a happy jumble against the b&w backdrop.
We think the golden wood floors are key to making this space welcoming - the very dark floors we see often lately could have made this room very chilly.
Thanks: Dominomag.com

Wow! Can't wait to see the issue. Looked for it this weekend, it wasn't out yet.
kind of makes me want to vomit.
I have to say..what I love about domino is also what I hate about domino.
so often they seem to revel in this "no rules, anything goes" mentality....which at times is well done and cool, and at worst looks like the bi-product of a crazy aunt Ida's knitting circle and ABC Carpet and Home.
(both seem to try way too hard, while trying to look like they didn't try at all.)
On the other hand, I love that the rooms they feature always have something a normal suburbanite would find strange or off the wall...
I can almost hear paula abdul now:
"you really took that room and made it your own"
and that the rooms don't always seems to folow uber trends, or look like Bo-cocept catalogues.
And lastly...why does it feel like -ANYONE- that does -ANYTHING- to a small space immediately gets props?
I agree with m, it makes me want to vomit, too. sometimes, Domino does something that I already have going in my house- that makes me feel great, but also like, do they have a secret camera in my house?
But, every once in a while, they feature something so horrific, it makes me almost physically ill. Like the ugly studio in LA with the tacky 70's stuff, that was the worst.
That's about as bad as it gets. The wall covering is enough to make one's head explode and... well I suppose "it's tacky" will cover it.
It's the opposite of what most people on this site seem to like, but it's very well done, energetic and fun. I just am so tired of deer heads (I hope it's fake).
i subscribe to domino and i appreciate their sensibility - it's very specific to the editors - kind of like an upper east side funky prep style. the magazine has a personality, that's how it should be, even if you hate it it's a lot more interesting than the other american house magazines out there.
I haven't received my copy of Domino for this month and yet, it's on the news stands. I thought subscribers got their copies before everyone else?
I also agree with m and clm - BLEEEECCCCCCCCH!
Maria, I haven't gotten mine either!
You guys I've had the same problem...getting my magazines before it hits the stands. This notion seems to be a piece of yesteryear. These mag companies feel like they're doing us enough of a favor by offering a discount and therefore we should be just satisfied with that! Sucks...but that seems to be the gist of it.
It's really scary how much I look forward to receiving my Domino in the mail.
A friend of mine is using that exact same paper in an otherwise very architectural, spare apartment remodel. Can't wait to see the end result. Maybe I can coerce him to send pics.
I love love love the crowded wall above the white desk - have been craving a wall like that for ages, but just can't decide on theme/colour and pictures. Arg! Looks delicious :)

Redis Snippet for Storing the Social Graph
We are leaving the Twitter, Facebook days, so a couple of days ago we were looking at two examples of storing friend lists in Redis and MySQL and wondering which one is simpler. Eric Florenzano (@ericflo) shared a Gist exemplifying storing a simple social graph in Redis:
The example uses a bidirectional relationship: if A is B's friend, then B is A's friend. Note that due to Redis lack of transactions this code will not guarantee that both sides of the relationship are persisted. A better approach for this scenario would be using Redis MULTI/EXEC, which while not really a transaction would guarantee that both operations are performed together server side.

The program began with Rossinis "William Tell Overture," certainly one of the most hackneyed warhorses in the orchestral repertoire. But under the baton of conductor Steven Amundson, the Oles handled the piece with delicacy and skill, making seamless transitions between the pieces contrasting sections. The first part of the piece in particular, featuring five cellos and two basses, was marvelous.
At the Home Concert, both of the featured soloists performed their pieces; first up was co-concertmistress Aria Peters 07, playing the first movement of Henri Vieuxtemps "Violin Concerto No. 4." Although the piece seemed at times almost to be at cross-purposes with itself, the unusual selection served Peters and her violins tone well, especially in the firework-filled cadenza.
The third piece, Michael Torkes "Bright Blue Music," was probably the best of the evening and certainly one of the most interesting pieces the orchestra has played in years. I could have listened to it multiple times and never lost the grin on my face. Torke is a synaesthete, someone whose sensory perceptions are linked, and he associates bright blue with the musical key of the piece, D major. Unlike most orchestral works, the pieces key never modulates, but always remains the same, leaving Torke free to play with rhythms and sonic effects, using the entire palette of the orchestra and then some. I have rarely heard a more affecting orchestral expression of exuberant joy, or a more completely unpredictable piece. Although the audiences response was not as enthusiastic as for "William Tell," hopefully the orchestra will continue to perform such unusual, worthy selections. Amundson claimed the music was difficult, but the orchestra made it seem not just easy, but essential.
Bassoonist Luke Varland 08 closed the first half of the concert with Carl Maria von Webers "Andante and Hungarian Rondo." Although Varlands pinkish hair and rapturous facial expressions were engaging, and his playing was impeccable, the length of the first half prevented me from giving him all of the attention he deserved.
The intermission featured a welcome development in St. Olaf concerts: flashing the lights to tell the audience to retake its seats. The length of the orchestras programs has always been its biggest fault, but this program was definitely less bloated, and the benefits of streamlining both intermission and the program itself were immediately evident in the performance of Tchaikovskys "Symphony No. 6," which formed the concerts second half. The orchestra often seems a bit sluggish by the middle of the second half, when a long tour and a long program have taken their toll, but this time the orchestra remained energetic throughout the challenging, emotional symphony, first performed just nine days before the composers death. The orchestra gave Tchaikovskys emotionalism full expression while refraining from sliding into schmaltz, and the obligatory St. Olaf standing ovation was richly deserved. Whether another encore performance of "The Dove" was really necessary is another question, but even as the orchestra tinkers with some things, its nice to know that some will never change.

Recall Roundup: Nov. 4, 2011
Every Friday, we here at ConsumerBell like to round up the biggest product recalls of the week and throw them all together into one convenient cornucopia of product safety information. We call it the Recall Roundup and it's just one of the ways we're making safety easier.
November is here, fall is in the air and football season is well underway. Know anyone hitting the gridiron this weekend? Let them know about this recall of more than 540,000 Under Armour chinstraps that have sharp metal snaps that pose a laceration hazard to other players.
Any Boy Scouts out there getting prepared for thecold, wet winter weather? Earn your product safety badge by making sure your Cub Scout Wind Tech Jacket isn't part of this recall. The jackets have retractable cords at the hood and waist, which can pose a strangulation hazard to children.
When my wife tells me I need to dress sharp, I'm pretty sure she's not talking about the laceration hazard posed by this IKEA wardrobe. The Mirror Doors to the PAX AURLAND Wardrobe were recalled this week because the glass can unexpectedly detach from the door and shatter.
Make sure playtime is safe by following up on this week's recalls of Disney Fairies Plastic Racing Trikes sold at Target stores and Toulouse-LapTrec Magnetic Sketchboards that pose a choking hazard to young children.
More Drop-Side Cribs were recalled this week due to entrapment and fall hazards – this time from the Dutailier brand out of Quebec, Canada. Find the various models involved in the recall in our marketplace.
It was a relatively good week for food safety with no recalls due to Salmonella, Listeria or E. colicontamination. However, we did see several recalls due to undeclared ingredients, which can pose problems for those with food allergies.
Eating Right Soy Protein Burgers were recalled because they inadvertently contained Veggie Burgers, which contain milk. Pacific Oyster Company recalled Nate's Spiced Prawns because they contain undeclared sulfites.
These Kool Ranch Kale Chips contain undeclared cashews and Blue Bunny Cookie Dough Ice Cream was mispackaged with Peanut Butter Panic, which contains undeclared wheat.
Approximately 85,000 decorative tins of Rich Fields Butter Cookies were recalled due to contamination with Bacillus cereus, a nasty organism that can cause all sorts of unpleasant symptoms. The cookies were sold exclusively at Rite Aid stores nationwide.
Consumers will want to avoid this lot of Bio Gaudiano Organic Olives Stuffed with Almondsfrom Italy which were distributed to retailers in Massachusetts. The olives may be contaminated with Clostridium botulinum, a bacterium that can cause the potentially fatal form of food poisoning, Botulism.
Windsor Quality Food Co. recalled more than 11,000 pounds of Chicken Pot Pie Empanadasafter a customer found pieces of plastic inside the product.
Approximately 8,888 pounds of Frozen Meat and Poultry Pies shipped to restaurants were recalled by Original Fried Pies Inc. for containing sodium benzoate, a preservative that is not approved for use in meat and poultry products.
Did any of these recalled products end up in your household? Let us know in the comments.

Anyone who may have had questions about the placement of the words "Sandy Hook' on a map in the film 'The Dark Knight Rises', may first seek an explanation for it from the film's prop master, Scott Getzinger. Alas, that is not possible since the man is deceased. Scott Getzinger was from Newtown and he died in a car accident in April

Running's employer is seeking an air-quality permit to crank up a gasifier, which transforms chips into fuel that would replace natural gas in heating the Missoula campus. Environmental groups have appealed a decision by the local health department to grant the permit, but backers see it as green energy and a safety measure.
"We sit surrounded by forests in a way Salt Lake doesn't," Running said. "We've had holocaust-level fires where people got burned up."

Nearby, Darby, Mont., is burning wood chips for school heat, using trees that in another era would have gone to a sawmill or a Missoula-area paperboard mill. Ely, Nev., also has a school participating in "Fuels for Schools," a project land managers hope will catch on in the rural West.
Other opportunities exist for markets that require a component of renewable energy. The Intermountain Power Project plant at Delta has studied adding biomass to its coal feedstock because it supplies power to California, a state that mandates green energy.
Utah Gov. Gary Herbert's administration has adopted an energy plan that looks to a future of renewables, including biomass. It touts university research collaboration but doesn't deal tax breaks to companies.
"There's not really any incentives - government incentives - to do it in Utah," Page said.
But there is a tremendous supply. The Beehive State boasts 10 million acres of pinyon-juniper forests.

Research, design, manufacture, test; research, design, manufacture, test; research, design, manufacture, test. This repetitious process is necessary to develop the highest quality product. For Skunk2, this is a normal way of life. Each and every product Skunk2 produces goes through a rigorous process of researching, designing, manufacturing and testing. Once the product meets the company's very strict standards it is then, and only then, that the product will be given the go-ahead for production. This commitment to quality is why Skunk2 products are used in high-powered street and race cars throughout the world.
When it comes to designing new camshafts for the K20A engine hundreds of hours of research and development are performed before any product is even tested on Skunk2's in-house DTS engine dyno.
We paid a visit to Skunk2 to check out the company's camshaft testing procedure. The engine on the DTS dyno was completely stock with the exception of a 3-inch intake, Skunk2 race header and Hondata S200 engine management. The combination was good for 244.49 horsepower and 182.14 lb-ft of torque at the flywheel.
Pick up the April 2006 issue of Turbo & High-Tech Performance for the complete story, dyno results, and more photos. On sale at your local news stand!

Aside from the impact on state business and schools, HB 56 is causing many people—documented and undocumented—to fear being racial profiled. Alabama's police have already falsely arrested one legal resident whom they thought was here without authorization.
According to Montgomery educator, Lizzette Farsinejad, "[the law] is having an impact on children. Many have come to school fearful, many have cried," she said. "A lot don't understand why they are having to leave since they were born in the U.S." Immigrant rights groups have also reported calls from immigrants worried about reporting crimes to police or pregnant women who fear going to the hospital.
Is this really the victory Governor Bentley was referring to?
While Alabama's business leaders and school administrators struggle to find a way forward and the Department of Justice seeks an appeal of Judge Blackburn's ruling, perhaps Alabama legislators should consider the real impact this law is having—not just on undocumented immigrants, but on Alabamans of every race, status, and profession.

Chastity Belt Punishment
Posted by Whitebrew • Filed under corporal punishment in schools , strict petticoat punishment
chastity belt punishment In this short but comprehensive male chastity guide I want to cover some of the most pressing and important points about the lifestyle from the perspective of someone who's new to it. The reason I want to do this now is when I first started along this journey, I often found myself lost, confused, bewildered and even a little frightened by the mass of conflicting, contradictory, and, in my opinion harmful information out there. So in this brief guide, I'll just sum up the main points and cover them in enough detail to get you started.

While waiting for the verdict The Pirate Bay still thinks at ways to make the whole downloading experience a bit better. This time, with their latest feature the guys had their crosshair on downloading torrents remotely.
Thanks to a new addition rather than downloading the torrent directly, users can now have the torrent included in their personal RSS feed, TorrentFreak reports. This is how it works: when you add the torrent to your feed it will download automatically when your BitTorrent client is running at home. The only condition is that your BitTorrent client of choice has RSS support but since most of the popular ones do have that shouldn't be a problem.
"We hope that it's a small nice addition for people to remember to download stuff that you find on your cellphone, at your friends place or whatever, without the need to update your torrent client," TorrentFreak quotes KingKong from the popular Bittorrent tracker.
As the new addition is still in beta you first need to add torrents to your personal RSS feed before it's created. There's still caching problem to be addressed (feeds are not updating properly while writing) in a short while. If you're a user of the site the link to your personal RSS feed is provided in your account preference settings.
