Write Secret Messages
Your child will feel like a secret agent when you teach her this cool art trick. Write her an "invisible" message with white crayon, then watch her amazement as she paints over what looks like a blank piece of paper and sees a picture emerging. Then let your child have her own turn at making a secret picture!
This is a fun art project, great for playing "secret agent," and can be a challenging exercise in handwriting and spatial awareness.
What You Need:
- White construction paper
- White wax crayons
- Newspaper
- Water soluble paint (tempera paint or watercolor paint)
What You Do:
- Draw a simple image on the white construction paper with the white crayon and write a few simple words.
- Tell your child that the 'blank' piece of paper is magic!
- Lay down some newspaper in the painting area and ask her to paint over the paper with her favorite color. Can she see the image? What is it? Can she identify any letters?
- To commend her excellent detective work, let her in on the secret and ask her to do her own 'magic drawings.'
- See if she can guess how the 'magic' works. Explain how the waxy crayon puts a 'paint-proof' layer of wax on the paper. So when the paint is applied, the areas that have been drawn on are blank!
- This is a great way to exchange 'secret' drawings and notes with friends who are in the know!
- Let your child make a secret birthday card for a friend. Deliver the card with instructions on how to reveal the hidden message!
- Play the 'Invisible Alphabet Game' with your child! Draw a letter of the alphabet with the white crayon on the white paper and see if your child can guess the letter you have written. Was she right? All she has to do is paint over the letter to see! If your child can read, you can play this game using words instead of letters.

Watch for Signs of Mice in Your Home (Eeeeek!)
A home is one of the biggest investments a person will make in a lifetime. Keeping it safe, secure and free of pests are top priorities. Mice are a common invader.
The following signs will alert you to the presence of mice and the need to take action.
Mice have irregular eating habits. They store their food and nibble on it throughout the day. This means they defecate in many different places. When mice infest a home, they leave their small, dark droppings all over. Most often in cupboards, or near their nests inside the walls, causing odors and health hazards.
Mice live in such a way that their hair becomes very oily. This oil leaves greasy marks on the places they travel through, namely holes or along walls. Homes with a heavy mouse infestation will also contain urine pillars. The pillars are composed of hair, oil, dirt and other substances they come in contact with.
Odd sounds in the walls and other locations are often the first clue of a mice problem. This happens when droppings go unseen for an extended length of time. The most common noise is scratching during the night. This is when the mice are exploring and searching for food. In some cases, they can be heard running and scampering as well.
Mice move very fast to collect materials for their nests. Seeing one or more of them inside a home is a good indicator they are building a nest and settling in. While they can build nests anywhere, inside the walls, floors and ceilings are their favorite places. The bolder ones will nest in cupboards, on stove tops and underneath refrigerators. The materials used to build nests are cardboard, paper and cloth. All items that mimic their natural habitat.
The result of accumulated droppings and the urine buildup, a home overrun with mice will soon smell very bad. The odor is usually stronger near the nests. However, eventually it will take over the entire house. This aspect of a mice invasion is often the worst. Eliminating the odor is very difficult even after the extermination process is complete.
If mice are seen inside or outside the home, it is safe to assume there is an infestation problem. They are nocturnal creatures, however. So, it is especially true if you see them during the day. Being in competition with another mouse colony and desperate for food is the only reason mice will only show themselves in the daylight.
Take Action
Even if only one mouse has been spotted, it should always be assumed there are more lurking nearby. That is the time to contact an experienced exterminator to eradicate them from the home. Once settled in, mice reproduce quickly and the higher the number, the more difficult it is to get rid of them.
By keeping an eye out for the most common signs of mice, a homeowner can avoid the smell, the health threats and the expense of having them removed.

Olympics appearances provide lasting memories
February 7, 2010
Steamboat Springs — When Nordic combined skier Gary Crawford first walked into the stadium in Lake Placid, N.Y., for the opening ceremonies of the 1980 Olympics, he lost himself in a flood of emotion.
Surrounded by more than 40,000 cheering fans — many holding banners and waving flags — Crawford made his way along the predetermined parade route inside the stadium with his American teammates. It was there that he first realized he had stepped onto the stage of one of the biggest events in all of sports.
It finally hit that he was an Olympian.
"I'll never forget it," said Crawford, a Steamboat Springs resident. "I think it was special because the Olympics were here (in the United States) and, for me, it was a family affair. My father announced my events and my brother, Greg, was a forejumper."
Recommended Stories For You
Crawford said there were so many people at the event that it was hard to focus on any one person, but as he made his way around the arena for the second time — taking in the colors, sounds and excitement — he could hear a familiar sound coming from the stands.
"I had grown up with a special whistle that my dad would use to call us home … when we would hear it, no matter where we were, we knew it was time to get home," he said. "I heard that whistle, and I knew exactly where to find my family. It was really neat to hear that whistle at the Olympics."
Four days later, Crawford finished 28th in the Nordic combined event (in 1980, there was only one event for Nordic combined athletes) and added his name to the long list of Olympians, including his father Marvin (Cortina, Italy, 1956), who call Steamboat Springs home.
Crawford missed the 1984 games, but returned to the Olympic spotlight at the 1988 Olympics in Calgary, Alberta, after teammate Kerry Lynch talked him into rejoining the team. Crawford broke his neck in January 1987 after a freak fall while landing a jump. He recovered in time to qualify for the 1988 Olympics but said he was never able to mentally overcome the fall.
"I jumped safe in Calgary," Crawford said. "I ran well in the cross-country race, but you can't play it safe when you are competing at the Olympics."
Crawford traveled to Sapporo, Japan, for one more competition that year before he retired. He says he never lost his passion for skiing or the Olympics.
Today, he works as a volunteer coach with the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club's Nordic program alongside fellow past Olympians Todd Wilson, Kerry Lynch and Martin Bayer. Lynch competed with Crawford at the 1980 Olympics. He finished 18th in the event that year and 13th four years later when the Olympics took place in Sarajevo, Bosnia. He also remembers the opening ceremonies in Lake Placid warmly.
"I had goose bumps for an hour after the opening ceremonies," Lynch said. "It's a really special moment in time. … You never know what is going to happen or if you will ever experience that again."
Lynch did get another shot in 1984, but he said the magic created by the 1980 Olympics was not present when Sarajevo, which was part of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia at the time, hosted the Olympics.
"I remember there were soldiers everywhere I looked, and at the time, we all realized that we were not in Kansas anymore," Lynch recalls. "There were hardly any people in the stands for opening ceremonies — maybe 10,000."
Lynch and Wilson are just a couple of the Winter Sports Club coaches who were drawn to Ski Town USA after they retired and have since become a part of our town's rich Olympic tradition.
"We know what the Olympics have done for us," Lynch said. "I think we are all proud to have been Olympic athletes, and we are lucky to have an opportunity to pass that onto the young athletes who are coming up in Steamboat Springs."
Bringing home hardware
In 1992, Steamboat Springs freestyle skier Nelson Carmichael waited at the top of the moguls course in Tignes, France, sitting on the threshold of skiing history for Steamboat Springs.
Carmichael, who cut his teeth in the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club's freestyle programs, insists he wasn't thinking about becoming the first skier from Steamboat Springs to bring home a medal. To tell the truth, there was just one thing Carmichael was thinking about as he made his way down the course.
"All I kept thinking was, 'Don't mess up,'" he recalled this winter.
Carmichael had qualified fourth and knew he was going to need a solid run to move up to the podium. He flew through the bumps at a blistering pace and landed a 360 on the top air and a twister-spread on the bottom air.
By today's standards, the jumps weren't much to look at, but Carmichael and the other skiers didn't have the kickers or landings that are in place on modern moguls courses. It was the first year the sport was labeled full-medal. At the 1988 games, freestyle skiing was a demonstration sport.
Carmichael said he made a few minor mistakes on the way down but that when it was finished, the Steamboat skier had earned the right to stand on the podium. France's Edgar Grospiron won gold, and teammate Olivier Allamand took silver. Carmichael held on for third and the bronze medal.
"I don't know that I added that much to Steamboat's skiing heritage," Carmichael said. "It started so long ago and is so entrenched in the community. It goes back to our Nordic roots and to the first Alpine ski racers, and it just keeps growing and growing."
Carmichael may have been the first Steamboat athlete to bring home a medal, but he's not alone. Shannon Dunn added another bronze to the mix by taking third in the women's halfpipe in Sapporo, Japan, at the 1998 Winter Olympic Games.
Carmichael and Dunn may not have realized it at the time, but their medal performances inspired a new generation of skiers across the country and, more important, at Howelsen Hill.
Ten years after Carmichael's bronze-medal run, one of those athletes — freestyle skier Travis Mayer — upped the ante when he won silver in men's moguls at the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah. But like Carmichael before him, Mayer is humble about his contributions to Steamboat's skiing heritage.
"I think Howelsen Hill and the Winter Sports Club are essential to Steamboat Springs' Olympic heritage," Mayer said. "Steamboat loves to celebrate its past and the athletes who have been a part of that past. I think that's one of the things that makes it such a great place."
Mayer, who graduated from The Lowell Whiteman School, said he's not sure he would have earned the medal if he had not come to Steamboat Springs and the Winter Sports Club. He said his coaches at the Winter Sports Club, including former Olympic skier Bobby Aldighieri, and the support of the community were the keys to his success.
Steamboat's winter Olympians

Foley Room is the sixth studio album by the Brazilian artist Amon Tobin. It was recorded in the Foley effects room at Ubisoft Montreal[2] and released on March 5, 2007, by Ninja Tune.
In the past, Tobin had created music through the sampling of old vinyl records. However, Foley Room is a marked departure from his traditional technique. Inspired by the Foley rooms where sound effects are recorded for films, Tobin decided to record and work with original samples for the record. According to the Ninja Tune website, "Amon and a team of assistants headed out into the streets with high sensitivity microphones and recorded found sounds from tigers roaring to cats eating rats, neighbours singing in the bath to ants eating grass".[3] Tobin also called upon The Kronos Quartet, Stefan Schneider and Sarah Pagé to record samples for the record.[4]
|There's nothing new about field recordings of course. It's obviously been the traditional source material in sampling since the early days, so I'm really going "back to school" on this one. On the other hand, I always saw a divide between music that was based purely on sound design and tunes that were written to physically move people. A challenge for me has been to try and make 'tunes' using aspects of sound design normally associated with highbrow academic studies in this area. I don't know how successful I've been but that was a goal anyway.
|— Amon Tobin, in his MySpace blog.
The first single, "Bloodstone", was released on iTunes on January 9, 2007. The song was later released as a single proper on January 21, 2007, with "Esther's" and the B-side "Here Comes the Moon Man" also included on the disc.
In promotion of the record, Ninja Tune released two YouTube "trailers".[5][6] A DVD documentary detailing the album's recording process was released with the album.

The Green Mountain State is rapidly earning the reputation as one of the Western Hemisphere's top micro beer- and ale-making locales.
Known for its fine waters, attention to beer-making details, contents, and old-fashioned honest marketing, such accolades about Vermont brews aren't mere chamber of commerce hype. The proof is in the trophy cabinets. Last week, Vermont brews topped the list of bests at the World Beer Cup 2010 event held in Colorado.
The Brewers Association of Denver hosts an annual global beer competition; experts from all over the globe evaluated beer from more than 25 nations. They recognized the most outstanding beers being produced, so the competition is stiff and exhibitor emotions run high.
World Beer Cup judges have a tough job; they have to drink a lot of fine beer and ale and decide on the best.
During the event, judges singled out three unexpected Vermont breweries for their excellent products-the cup provided a nice, colorful feather for Vermont's beermesiter Tyrolean hat.
The Alchemist Pub and Brewery of Waterbury received the World Beer Cup Gold Medal in the eclectic gluten-free beer category for its Celia Saison product. Celia Saison-a Belgian-inspired gluten-free Saison made with sorghum, orange peel, coriander, and Amarillo hops.
Harpoon Brewery of Windsor was awarded the cup's silver medal in the American-style wheat beer with yeast category for its flagship of quirky UFO brands-UFO Hefeweizen. Hefeweizen is a cloudy golden color with "a dense, frothy head, and the aroma has a faint but clear citrus-like character."
The UFO award-winner was described by judges as having "a soft mouth feel and a refreshing, light body. The wheat malts and subtle hopping give this beer what is described as a mild, delicate flavor."
Lawson's Finest Liquids of Warren won a bronze medal in the specialty beer category for its unusual Maple Tripple. Think of a rich beer and maple syrup and you have Maple Tripple.
Judges attempted to describ Tripple as "an enticing, rich and complex... the creation defies easy description."
Lawson's once-a-year beer is brewed only during sugaring season with 100 percent maple sap from Fayston-area farms.
"No outside water is added-only barley, hops, and ale yeast," Lawson's said.
The World Beer Cup 2010 winners were selected by an international panel of 179 beer judges from 27 countries. An impressive field of 3,401 entries from 642 breweries in 44 countries made up the competition.
More than 3,800 breweries in 100 countries were invited to compete.

Chocolate-Cinnamon Pudding With Raspberries
Anna Williams
How to Make It
Step 1
In a heavy saucepan, combine the cocoa, cinnamon, cornstarch, and 2/3 cup of brown sugar. Whisk in the milk and 1/2 cup of the cream. Over medium-low heat, bring to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, until the pudding is thick and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla.
Step 2
Pour into individual ramekins or a large bowl and press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
Step 3
Whip the remaining heavy cream with the remaining sugar until soft peaks from. Serve the pudding warm or chilled with the raspberries and whipped cream.

Corn is a gluten, so is the cornstarch, but you can replace it with tapioca.

Organizations that have added online lead generation to their marketing mix now have the tools to manage this level of accountability, but the tools are not enough. A results-based approach to budgeting takes measurability to the next phase: intent and predictability.
As a b-to-b conversion-driven marketing agency, we start by working backwards from quantifiable, desired results to the tactics needed to get there. This starts with the question, "How many leads can our sales force handle each month, with peaks and valleys based on seasonality?"
This process takes it back one more step: "If we need to achieve X dollars in revenue growth within this line of business, how many leads should we plan each month, with lead times built in to allow sales to be closed by the end of the fiscal year?"
Once goals have been quantified, the foundation is there to budget for a program.
There are two cost considerations here. First, the initial investment to create strategy and assets—such as developing an informational offer like a white paper—and the costs of pushing the program's offers through online ads, search engine marketing, e-mail, social media, etc.
The process can be projected by starting with cost-per-lead numbers, as well as conversion. Projecting impressions-to-click, clicks-to-lead, leads-to-opportunity and opportunities-to-sale allows the marketer to tailor a media budget based on revenue goals. This entails guesswork, but the guesses are educated, starting with industry standards and then adding live results.
A well-managed lead-generation program with documented results enables a team to establish a benchmark "media cost-per-lead" and hold to that standard. Low performers get culled, and standouts get augmented. The program can be continually optimized so even if the cost-per-lead is initially missed, throughout the year the program approaches the goal.
There are other financial considerations also:
• Different tactics require varying levels of management time. This is balanced by the fact that some tactics have no media cost.
• Some tactics necessary for strategic purposes may fall outside of the cost-per-lead standard but still stay in the mix.
• Lead nurturing requires an additional analysis, including the ROI of reducing sales time and increasing conversions.
With strategic thought, an approach like this can yield both a results-based budget and tools to measure the program once it is launched.

We be serving our General Tso Chicken Recipe on our Rice Pilaf.This is an easy and great party recipe you'll love.
The good General loved spicy food, so no wonder this dish was named for him. He had an impressive military career and was well known.
Using a chafing dish, we'll bake rice, enough to fill half of the pan, following our recipe.
Then, after the chicken is finished, we'll put it right on top of the cooked rice, and serve. In the chafer, the rice will add moisture and wonderful taste to the chicken.
For any party food question, you can always use ASK-a-CATERER for free party recipes and ideas.
Ingredients for General Tso Chicken Recipe
8 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut into 1" piecesOil for deep frying2 dozen eggs4 cups cornstarch
4 Birdseye Frozen Asian Medley Vegetables or an equivalent, 40 ounces +/-
2 cans chicken stock48 dried red pepper pieces3/4 cup rice wine vinegar1+ cups Sake, (rice wine)1-1/2 cups sugar1-1/2 cups soy sauce1/2 cup cornstarch
2 dozen scallions, chopped
Directions for General Tso Chicken Recipe
2 days before the party, combine the sauce ingredients, except for the cornstarch. Refrigerate.
The day of the party, cut the chicken breasts into 1" pieces. Refrigerate.
Follow our rice pilaf recipe, cutting the ingredients in half. Prep as directed, and place in the food pan of your chafing dish, and bake at 400° for 1+ hour, covered tightly in foil.
Set up your deep fryer, or heat oil to 375° on the stove.
Cook the frozen vegetables according to the package directions, however under-cook them a bit. Set aside.
When the rice is nearly done baking, begin the chicken. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and add the cornstarch, mix well. Working with just as much chicken as you need at a time, coat the chicken pieces in the batter and fry them for 3 minutes or so. You want them to be golden brown, and you want them to be 165° - use your thermometer to be sure.
When you get to that temp, cover the chicken with foil and set near the stove to keep warm. Meanwhile, start another batch in your frying pan. Keep frying, baking, and covering cooked chicken.
The rice should be done by now. Remove it from the oven, open the foil, give it a stir, and cover it with the vegetables. Now put the cooked chicken pieces on top of the rice. Cover and keep warm.
Make sauce by mixing the cornstarch with enough of the cold liquid to dissolve it. Then heat the rest of the liquid stock, bring it to a boil, and wisk in the cornstarch liquid, cooking it for a few minutes until the sauce is bubbly and clear.
Pour the sauce into the chafing dish, over the cooked chicken, vegetables and rice. Garnish with the scallions.
Add stock to thin the sauce if needed as the party progresses. And remember to check the water level under the food in the chafer. If you need to add more, always add boiling water.
This is a great opportunity to serve Sake wine - which we often do with a few bottles and small glasses right next to this entree. Sake is often served warm, which we do by heating a bottle and wrapping it with a cloth near the glasses. Lots of fun - and it's just delicious.

6 surprising facts about Wang Kai, the hot detective from When a Snail Falls in Love
When a Snail Falls in Love has risen to become a hit drama for Chinese and International viewers. A big driving force is the hot and handsome Wang Kai who also stars in Nirvana in Fire. Find out how he rose from an unknown actor to become the perfect embodiment of charisma, masculinity, and maturity.
1. Wang Kai rose to fame in Nirvana in Fire, playing the overlooked prince who would emerge as the winner in the competition to become the next Emperor. He has won many awards for his outstanding performance, and his popularity has risen rapidly since 2015.
2. Previously, Wang Kai came to viewers' attention for playing a make-up artist in Ugly Wu Di, the Chinese version of the Colombian TV series, Yo soy Betty, la fea, which was also remade into Ugly Betty in the U.S.
3. He waited years for the perfect role. After Ugly Wu Di (2008-2010), he continued to work but refused roles that would typecast him. He wanted serious characters that better suited his true style. He would have to wait until 2014 to shine as a policeman in the period drama, All Quiet in Peking.
4. He dubs for himself, meaning when you hear him speak in a drama, you are hearing his very own voice, and it's a very attractive manly voice with perfect diction. Needless to say, the voice goes along with the man.
5. He can sing! We have 2 fantastic examples here.
He sang for Nirvana in Fire in the song, "Blood is red and hot forever," about Hu Ge's heroic character, Lin Shu. The lyrics praised righteous bravery tinged with sadness, because Wang Kai's Prince Jing ascended the throne but had to send his best friend to the battlefield and likely death.
(This fan-made video has many memorable images of Wang Kai and Hu Ge from the drama.)
He also sang for The Disguiser, a 2015 period drama, which also stars Hu Ge and Jin Dong, about Chinese resistance fighters who battled against Japanese invaders during WW II.
In this video, he actually sang live during a TV program. After he finished, he said his throat was feeling rough that day. Could you tell?
6. He chose acting over his parents' objection. Before Wang Kai aspired to become an actor, he worked at a bookstore after he graduated from high school. His parents preferred a stable job for him, but he decided to enter the Central Academy of Drama in Beijing. He debuted in a TV drama in 2006.
Success hasn't come quickly or easily. But for Wang Kai, after 10 years in acting, his golden era has just begun!
Not getting enough of Wang Kai? Check out his new drama, When a Snail Falls in Love, where he leads of team of detectives to solve major crimes and also find romance.

1. It Started With A Kiss (2005) starring Ariel Lin and Joe Cheng
The manga series Itazura na Kiss (Playful Kiss) has been an ever-popular romantic comedy made famous by author and illustrator Kaoru Tada. When Irie Naoki, the boy with an IQ of 200, turned down the love confession of not-so-smart Aihara Kotoko, he had no idea that fate would intervene and lead Kotoko to move into his house following an earthquake that destroyed her home. They will eventually fall in love and marry. The Taiwanese live-action adaptation not only became a record-breaking success, it also launched the careers for Ariel Lin and Joe Cheng.
2. They Kiss Again (2007) starring Ariel Lin and Joe Cheng
The success of It Started With A Kiss led to an even more popular sequel, They Kiss Again, about the couple's married life and relationship struggles. Both It Started With A Kiss and They Kiss Again have been DramaFever viewers' perennial favorites.

4. Skip Beat! (2011) starring Ivy Chen, Choi Si Won and Lee Dong Hae
The Japanese manga Skip Beat! (スキップ・ビート! Sukippu Bīto!) by Yoshiki Nakamura tells the story of Kyoko Mogami, a 16-year-old girl who embarks on a quest for revenge after she discovers that her childhood friend and romantic idol, Sho Fuwa, has been using her to support him while he pursues stardom. Mogami decides that she will become a star herself.
Super Junior's Siwon and Donghae stepped in when the originally designated actors changed their plans. However, it turned out to be an ideal fit as both Korean idols were perfect for playing idol stars in the story. Donghae also sang one of the theme songs. Siwon and Donghae's voices were dubbed. Although Ivy's character is still a naive girl in the adaptation, all three main characters were older in age than in the manga.
5. Absolute Boyfriend (2010), aka Absolute Darling, starring Gu Hye Sun and Jiro Wang
Zettai Kareshi (Absolute Boyfriend) is a Japanese manga series by Yuu Watase. It tells the story of Riiko Izawa who has never had a boyfriend. She accidentally orders a robot as a perfect lover who she names as Night. Eventually Night develops real human emotions and they fall in love.
For the live-action adaptation, the Taiwanese drama team specifically wanted the popular Gu Hye Sun, who had starred in the extremely popular Boys Over Flowers. She was paired with Taiwanese pop idol Jiro Wang, whose facial features and lean physique made him a perfect Absolute Boyfriend.

Lynette from Trinidad visited in August 2012 and awarded
Our stay at the Whitehouse Villa was very enjoyable as we spent most of out time in the pool which was above our expectations.
Pros: Beautiful
Lovely Pool
Cons: 1) Cable was down during the four (4) days stay and when management was contacted they informed us that the cable issue was beyond our control.
2) No air condition in the living room and kitchen only three (3) ceiling fans out of which only two (2) were working very very slowly making it very hot.
3) mosquito invasion at night.
4) the shower in the shared bathroom does not function properly
5) the lights around and in the pool does not work.
6) Having a vehicle is an asset because it is a far distance from beaches, shops and facilities on foot.
For the price, i would rate this villa with a 2 of 5 stars.
For the price, it is a beautiful villa but some improvements and updates are required. You can find more comfort at a cheaper villa/apartment/hotel.
Guest Report
Pravin from Trinidad visited in November 2011 and awarded
A 2 story 3 bedroom villa with rooftop access along with a Kitchenette on the roof. The rooftop can be used to hang out or have a moonlit party. Due to the sun we did not venture there during the daytime. Two bedrooms have double beds and one room has 2 single beds. The bathroom connected to the Master bedroom also had a Jacuzzi. Mattresses also available to be used. According to property owners a maximum of 11 people can stay at this Villa. All rooms air conditioned. Washer and dryer on the ground floor. Two bathrooms on the first floor with one on the ground floor along with a kitchen. Very well maintained property with pool and parking for up to 3 vehicles. The location of the pool ensured a nice feeling of privacy. Maid did daily cleaning for the duration of our stay. Location of villa ensured maximum 10min drive to most popular destinations in Tobago. A non gas BBQ pit was also available to be used. The rooftop can be used to hang out or have a moonlit party. Due to the sun we did not venture there during the daytime. Only problem I would say was the stairs were really steep and the owners did not advise on bringing children there due to the stairs. For the purposes of my group this house was perfect.

To get rid of pet urine stains and odors, pre-treat the area with a coating of baking soda, blot the area with a damp towel to remove the baking soda, then sprinkle more baking soda over the area. Steam clean the area with a cleaning formula designed for pet urine.Continue Reading
As soon as you notice the stain, cover it immediately with a layer of baking soda.
With a damp cloth, press into the urine stain. Do not scrub the stain; blot it until most of the urine and baking soda lifts away.
To help neutralize urine odors, sprinkle a generous amount of baking soda over the cleaned stain. Allow the baking soda to sit for 15 to 20 minutes.
Vacuum the baking soda out of the carpet.
Fill the steam cleaner with its required water content. Select a cleaning solution designed to remove pet urine stains and odors, which is available at pet and home improvement retail stores.
Once the steam cleaner is ready for operation, clean the entire room. Concentrate the steamer over freshly cleaned urine stains. Do not steam untreated urine stains, as the steaming action may bind urine discoloration and odors to carpet fibers.

Bulldogs stay perfect by shutting down Astros
Score an A-plus for Richards' "D" Friday night in Palos Heights.
While the Bulldogs' offense wasn't bad, either, Richards coach Tony Sheehan saw enough flaws to resist giving it a similarly high grade. The same thing couldn't be said of the visitors' prevention corps, which completely hamstrung host Shepard.
Already struggling to develop a consistent attack before meeting up with their District 218 and South Suburban Conference Red rival, the Astros found no answers opposite the Bulldogs, who not only pitched a shutout but also held Shepard to less than 70 total yards.
"Offensively, it's a tough deal," said Astros coach Dominic Passolano, whose squad got tagged with a 29-0 setback. "We started to get some drives going, but their linebackers are fast. We'd get to the outside and they'd run us down."
Actually, Richards had stalwarts everywhere as it completely dominated in that phase of the game. Romel and Ramontay Hill both recorded 10 tackles, but lineman Savon Robinson was every bit as imposing as he had eight tackles — including three for loss — three quarterback hurries, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.
That retrieval supplied the Bulldogs (4-0, 1-0) with their third touchdown of the opening half, as Robinson returned the loose ball 17 yards into the Shepard end zone.
"That defense is a very good crutch to be leaning on," Sheehan said. "They're fun to watch. They just fly, and it's coming from everywhere.
"[Shepard's] kids played hard all night. They didn't give up and kept coming at us, but our defense has played lights-out the last two weeks."
And when that unit wasn't scoring points of its own, it was allowing Richards' offense to set up shop in favorable spots. The Bulldogs spent time in the Astros' end of the field on five first-half series, but only came away with touchdowns twice.
Tacari Carpenter accounted for both on 9-yard plays. He rushed that distance shortly after Dwayne Jiles (six tackles) intercepted a first-period Shepard pass and then Carpenter caught a 9-yard TD toss from Hasan Muhammad-Rogers.
Richards' offensive missteps weren't limited only to the opening half — one second-half series ended abruptly because of a bad snap from center, while another that brought the Bulldogs inside the Astros' 5 got sidetracked by a fumble. Sheehan thought the latter occurred after receiver Dedrick Shannon was already down, but the coach didn't dismiss the 'Dogs' other mistakes because of it.
"It'd be a blown block here, a missed assignment there — we just weren't executing," Sheehan said. "Our defense was giving us the ball in great field position, so it should have been a lot bigger [point] margin. We've got to take advantage of that.
"When you get a team down, you've got to bury them. If you let a team hang around too long, it just gives them confidence."
Shepard, though, wasn't about to rally from a three-touchdown deficit. Just to make sure, Ramontay Hill tacked on one more with his 12-yard run in the third quarter.
While the Bulldogs finished with nearly 300 total yards, only 111 of those came on the ground. That, according to Sheehan, must change, and soon.
"We've got to establish a running game and get a sustained drive going more often," he said. "We have home-run hitters, but we need to be able to nickel-and-dime people, too, if we want to do something in the playoffs. We need to give our defense a blow so they're playing up to their capabilities.
"This is kind of a wake-up call to our offense. We can't have [negative] things [happen] — you get into a tight ballgame, that can cost you, and we want to control our own destiny."
Richards will need to have all systems in good working order on Friday, when undefeated Evergreen Park travels to Oak Lawn for a key SSC Red contest. On their last visit to Korhonen Field in 2011, the Mustangs stunned the Bulldogs by administering a 33-0 loss.
"Dan [Hartman]'s one of the best coaches around," Sheehan said of Evergreen's third-year leader. "Look at what he's done with that program."
Shepard (0-4, 0-2), meanwhile, will attempt to break into the win column for the first time at Reavis' expense. The Rams are coming off a victory over Eisenhower, but Passolano thinks the Astros can challenge them, especially if Shepard is able duplicate its defensive effort versus Richards.
Khali Mitchell was the Astros' ringleader with six solo stops, four assists, three tackles for loss, two sacks and a forced fumble. Other influential individuals included Raphael Williams (five solos, one assist), Shane Javorski (four solos, two assists, two tackles for loss, forced fumble), Kyle Dye (four solos, one assist) and Keyon Lansdown (two solos, four assists, one tackle for loss, one sack).
In all, Shepard forced the Bulldogs into seven negative-yardage plays.
"There was only one series where they moved on us [very far] and scored," Passolano said of Richards. "It was real evident that the physicalness of our kids and the tackling was much better [than before]. Defensively, we're happy with the way kids stepped up — we've seen big improvement from Week 1.
"We're playing a lot of young kids and we're seeing [overall] improvement. The big thing has been to keep pounding away and pounding away — eventually, we'll see the results we want."
