Organization Tip No. 24: the Secret to a Clean House
• 13 June 2011
There is nothing like the impending arrival of a houseguest to motivate me to whittle down my to-do list and whip my home into shape. I'm not complaining though, I secretly like the added encouragement! So, this weekend, as I sorted and cleaned out closets, drawers and more closets and drawers, I had an epiphany. The secret to an easily-maintained clean living space is simply having less stuff to clean up. You would think it's some kind of organization system, right? But truly, when it comes down to it, the issue is just keeping tabs on how much we are accumulating in our living spaces because having lots of "stuff" = having to always be cleaning up that "stuff".
Before we moved to Seattle, we hosted a large garage sale and pared down quite a bit. And since moving here we continue to be concerted about what things we are holding on to--it's truly a constant process and not just a one time effort (although I wish it weren't so). In fact, I find myself purging things from our home on a fairly continuing basis--about once a month in fact. While it is a bit of a pain to sort, sell, donate, schlep, etc. the end result is pure satisfaction...and liberation...and clarity of thought. As crazy as it may sound, the less "stuff" we have, the more interesting our lives become. Meaning, instead of being constantly consumed with maintaining our junk and the accumulation of this and that, we are focused more on experiences--treasures that stay with us always. So all in all, it feels like putting forth the effort to clean out nooks and crannies a good thing.
For me, problem issues continue to be closets (I love to toss stuff inside and shut the door...obviously not a great long-term plan!), the playroom, my children's rooms, the laundry room, etc. Because of heavy use, these little areas tend to keep me on my toes. What areas do you find problematic in your space? And what secrets do you have to share?
Peek at organization tips #1 - #23 as well as my general organization tips.
p.s. this fabulous little nook resides in the home of Sarah Hicks Malone--the creator of the fabulous party blog Sara's Party Perfect. I haven't stopped thinking about her living space since viewing it on D*S last Autumn. I find it incredibly inspiring on so many levels!

I absolutely LOVE purging and scaling back--one of the reasons (probably the only one) I enjoy moving. It's amazing how much "stuff" we collect. I'm about to go room by room and really de-junk. Our two rooms most in need of it are the office and the spare bedroom/storage room.

We are on the same page Emily...I shudder to think were we'd be if we hadn't moved a bajillion times already. This last one was particularly painful--5 years in one location...yikes!

Great tip! This post is very timely. Organizing and purging have been at the forefront of my brain.
Here is a quote (can't recall where it came from) that I repeat to myself daily: "A place for everything and everything in its place."

I feel exactly the same way. I keep a box in a closet where I collect items to be donated, and I schedule to have it picked up about once every month or two. (No more shlepping!) It's a never-ending process for sure, and it always feels good after a a big purge. I am also a big fan of freecycle.org, which I like to use for baby items (because it's nice to give directly to someone who can use them, and new parents are especially appreciative of stuff--babies are expensive!), and where I can get rid of more unique items (an old mantel, anyone? a large stack of bricks?). Trust me, there is someone out there who will put your stuff to good use!
The playroom is constantly being rotated and thinned out, but my problem areas are bathrooms and our back storage room (a.k.a. "the crap room").

I came to this realization about a year ago and now my new mantra is 'less is more.' It certainly makes me more conscious of what I do buy and makes me feel happy when I walk out of a store having turned down a number of items. I agree that experiences are far more important than 'things'. I look forward to looking at your other tips!

I couldn't agree more! We spent the weekend going through a bunch of our stuff getting ready for a massive yard sale. It saddens me a bit that we've spent so much energy boxing this stuff up and moving it when we didn't even need it.

Stephanie: this is sooooooo true, thank you for putting it into words for me! My husband is a total and complete minimalist (through and through) and I like it too, but I also like to shop and get lured into buying too much stuff. I am happiest though when I have less, and clean up is WORLDS EASIER without stuff spilling out of the closets.

Great post! I would love to read tips 1-23, I could really use the advice, but the "Peek at organization tips #1-#23 here" link just goes to #23. Then I tried to track them down using the general organization tips link, but I felt lost and in the midst of chaos. Which might be ironic. Can you help? Thanks!

Oh, I completely agree! And purging is NOT a one time thing! Although the initial time you do it can take months as you go through every area of your home for the first time. But it is such a fun, liberating experience and you do get better with it over time. I've also found that I think twice before I buy something, too.

We moved 8 times in our first 11 years of marriage and it definitely kept us from becoming "cluttered". I become very unsentimental when I actually have to think about moving something, and I must really love or need something in order to pack it! That being said, we've been in our current home 7 years (unbelievable) and although I purge it regularly, it's not the same! My biggest problem areas are the garage and our home office! Yikes! The thought of preparing either one of those spaces to list this home (or pack it), gives me total anxiety!

You're so wise Steph. I too love a good de-junking session and have been asked on more than one occasion if we've just moved into our home. We've been here 4 years. Minimalist to an extreme? Perhaps. . .

so true! i'm currently working on purging 100 items during the month of june. my motivation was this fun little fact: Getting rid of excess clutter would eliminate 40% of housework in the average American home. if that doesn't motivate you, i don't know what will. ;) http://www.ourlittlegems.com/2011/06/june-purge-losing-100-stuffs-in-30-days/

Erin! Finally someone who has moved as often as us :) I can relate!
Danyelle/Dandee, I am not sure about being wise, although thank you so much for the compliment, but I am sure that I hate cleaning up stuff all the time and I hope this helps. It would be nice to look like you slaved at your home when really it was just effortless b/c you don't have stuff everywhere. I hope to see your minimal house someday...i so wish I lived by you!
Andrea, I believe that statistic is true. That sounds about right! I definitely feel like decluttering helps a ton when it comes to maintenance. A ton.

Thankfully we have moved a lot! So we are forced to completely clear out any junk! Even though our last move was 2 miles away from our last house. I actually feel bad for my friends that don't move as often, seems their drowning in clutter! http://thesleefamily.blogspot.com/

Ah, we are so on the same page. I just blogged two weeks ago about purging and how I've learned very recently that the less we have the more we live. We have been having more wonderful experiences, spending time with other people, getting out into the lovely world. You are so right, it is so true.
My biggest problem right now is my workspace. It is servicing a whole lot in a tiny space. I haven't seen the top of my desk for a few weeks & it's getting me down. Maybe I should tackle that today. I'm inspired. :) Thank you!

My only problem....I think so many things are beautiful;)
I really do love simplifying and this post was a great reminder. I was helping my SIL purge a lot of stuff and I asked her the question.."would you move this across the country?" It is amazing what you find you don't need anymore;)

The Devil's Haystack
From his neighborhood's porches,
sidewalks, street curbed corners,
mommies and daddies swallow paper bags of venom,
while children watch, learning life.
The language of anger,
words of war with one's self,
hopeless murmurings, cursed profanities
flow as prayers at breakfast.
Mistreated, malnourished family pets
serve as surrogate angels to
these giggling, wide-eyed,
attentive ambassadors from our future.
Deafening car speakers blare propaganda of despair,
disillusionment, pathogen of idiocy
to babes' and siblings' tender ears
and once-pure brains,
stunting hope.
Among what passes for existence,
this Diogenes searches with his swinging lantern,
studying faces, scanning hearts,
perhaps to spy an honest dream.

Article Tagged ' feeling vulnerable '
Vulnerability. The mere mention of the word can make grown men squirm and grown women hide! It's something we don't often talk about, yet it is universal to all human beings.
In the context of human relationships, vulnerability is the glue that connects us, yet terrifies most of us at the same time. When the "V" word is mentioned, oftentimes people immediately think of situations in which they have been hurt or disappointed by others. They may even remind themselves, "That's why I don't get too close." Vulnerability is commonly associated with pain; however, by choosing that viewpoint we miss out on the richer meaning and opportunity.

You can review their biographies, Instagram pictures and Yelp page of the Beauteologist listed available and pick the right stylist for you!
Relax in the comfort of your home and beautify yourself. Review your stylist after the job is complete!
The development of the SalonMom App was inspired by the personal experiences of a well-known, Los Angeles based hairstylist who has her own busy Salon and also travels the world educating other hairstylists. She realized from her experiences locally and nationwide for many busy professionals, business owners, entrepreneurs, employees, new moms and others it is completely impossible to get the basic beauty care such as a simple color application to cover grays, a haircut, blow dry or even a quick manicure because of time. Whether it is their busy schedule, work hours, work days or whatever the case may be, all of these women have lack of time in common. Clients end-up feeling defeated fighting traffic and finding parking for an appointment. The SalonMom App is the perfect means to an end!
Finally an app that can help me with my time management. It is a relief to know that I can operate my business from home while I am getting my manicure done.
I used Salonmom for a hair cut and color at home while watching my 2 kids play. No more hassle of finding a babysitter when I need to pamper myself. What a valuable service.
Loved my Beauteologist Michelle, She was friendly and kind and did an excellent job on my Brazilian hair treatment. My hair looks shiny and soft, and I did not need to even leave home.

WBI Survey: Half of workplace bullied targets forgo taking leave
WBI 2013-A Instant Poll
Individuals who are bullied at work can suffer stress. With prolonged exposure, that stress can trigger stress-related diseases. Health complications follow. At some point, those individuals are adversely affected and work suffers. It becomes apparent to them, coworkers, and family members that leave from work should be taken to allow for health recovery.
Leave options for American workers include taking paid sick leave, filing for workers compensation, taking family medical leave or seeking disability insurance. Only 23% of private-sector employers offer at least one day of paid sick leave. There is no national mandate for employers to provide paid sick leave in the U.S.
The McGill Institute for Health and Social Policy, Montreal, compiles comparisons across countries of various policies that affect workplaces. With respect to paid sick leave, the Institute wrote:
Paid sick leave is crucial to employees' ability to protect their health. Such leave allows workers to access medical care promptly and recuperate more quickly when they become sick, which leads to a shorter recovery time from acute illnesses. For workers with chronic conditions, paid leave provides time to obtain essential medications and follow through on treatment recommendations, and thus reduce the impact of their illness on their day-to-day functioning. Leave to care for health needs is also important for employees who are not experiencing an acute or chronic health problem, as it allows them time for preventive care. Besides enabling employees to prevent, recover from, manage, and avoid exacerbating illness, all of which reduce their total absence from work, paid sick days decrease the likelihood that sick employees will spread infectious diseases to coworkers. Recent studies have shown that the costs that companies incur when sick employees come to work often surpass the costs of employees staying home when they are ill. The lost productivity associated with presenteeism has been demonstrated for a range of health problems, including migraines, depression and mononucleosis.
International Comparison of Paid Sick Leave Policies compiled by the McGill Institute. The categories are: (1) whether or not paid sick leave coverage begins on the first day of incapacity, (2) duration of paid sick leave, (3) percentage of wage replacement, (4) whether or not leave for adult family members' needs is paid, and (5) whether or not leave for children's health needs is paid.

|26 weeks or until recovery

|1-10 days
|26 weeks or until recovery
|31 days-25 weeks
For this first survey of 2013, WBI decided to explore how leave from work is taken by bullied targets.
Workplace Bullying Institute Instant Polls are online single-question surveys that rely upon self-selected samples of individuals bullied at work (typically 98% of any sample). No demographic data are collected. Our non-scientific Instant Polls accurately depict the perceptions of workers targeted for bullying at work as contrasted with the views of all adult Americans in our scientific national surveys.
The 461 respondents to this survey were asked:
If bullying affected your health, how did you take LEAVE from work?
The percentages for each response option were:
.510 I took no leave time
Thus for 228 respondents (49% of the pool), some form of leave was taken. The percentages below reflect the proportion based on the sample subset of 228.
.043 Forced to file Workers Comp claim; claim denied
.039 Forced to file Workers Comp claim; claim successful
.022 Voluntarily filed Workers Comp claim; claim denied
.004 Voluntarily filed Workers Comp claim; claim successful
.140 Forced to use unpaid FMLA
.096 Voluntarily used unpaid FMLA
.096 Forced to use paid FMLA
.219 Voluntarily used paid FMLA
.127 Used only Short-Term Disability
.057 Used both Short- and Long-Term Disability
.153 Now on early retirement, disability
The slightest majority possible (51%) of bullied targets opted to not take any form of leave at a time in their careers when they perhaps most required sick leave. Persistent bullying causes a host of stress-related diseases and emotional injuries. Staying on the job under such duress must have affected their well being, proficiency at work, and the quality of familial relationships.
Eliminating the 51% of bullied target-respondents who claimed to have never taken leave for their health's sake, 228 respondents remain who tried some form of leave. This is the sample subset to which we turn for insight into what type of leave is used and whether or not that leave accomplishes the goal of health restoration for targets of workplace bullying.
To WBI, targets report that HR forces stressed workers seeking relief to choose between Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and Workers Compensation (WC). FMLA was the most frequent leave option overall, used by 55% of targets. Federal FMLA is unpaid. Some states allow FMLA to be paid leave. Within the FMLA users, 57% chose the option voluntarily. Nearly 43% were forced into FMLA.
Paid FMLA chosen voluntarily was the most frequent type of FMLA leave option — chosen by 22% of all those who took leave. Paid FMLA leave represented over half of FMLA options used (57%). Nearly ten percent (9.6%) of targets using leave were those forced to use paid FMLA and matched by another 9.6% who voluntarily chose unpaid FMLA.
Disability Insurance
The reliance on disability insurance was second to FMLA — used by 33.7% of all those who took leave. Within the disability group, early retirement based on disability was the most frequent (45.4%), short-term disability second (37.6%) and being granted long-term disability the least frequent (17%). The award of disability retirement is difficult to achieve. The federal government reviews applications and demands severe injuries before approving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) grants. Many applicants retain medical and legal professionals to assist with the process because of the difficulty. Therefore, one can assume that the 45% success rate for bullied targets reflects more on the severity of the injuries sustained from exposure to bullying than the ease of the process.
Workers compensation (WC) options — representing an overall 11% of all leave taken — included filing a claim voluntarily or being forced to file by the employer. The rationale given by employers is that if stress is the consequence of work conditions, then stress is a work injury and WC is the appropriate option. It is noteworthy that under the guise of "workers compensation reform" states are adopting laws that prohibit claims for psychological stress. For claimants, there is no income while the claim is processed which often takes months to complete.
WC claims failed in 60% of claims filed to provide paid relief for bullied targets.
Respondents reported that employers coerced them to file in 76% of WC claims. Forced claims that were eventually denied accounted for 4% of all overall leave options chosen and 40% of all WC claims. The majority (53%) of forced claims were denied.
WC claims voluntarily filed were 2% of all overall leave options chosen. Five of the six cases resulted in denied claims (83%).
In conclusion, FMLA and Disability were the more successful leave options for bullied targets than WC. If the nation had a paid sick leave mandate, bullied targets would not risk financial ruin because of the injuries sustained at work enabled by employers. As with all matters American, individuals are left to correct problems they neither deserved nor invited.

Discover Vizcaya
Portuguese audio tour set to launch
"Vizcaya is a landmark of Miami and thus we are very glad to have a guided tour in Portuguese to its beautiful grounds. This accomplishment is yet another indication of the auspicious moment we are experiencing in the fruitful relationship between Brazil and Florida," said Ambassador Ramos F.
The Discover Vizcaya audio tour features 90 minutes of content and guides visitors through the main spaces and primary ideas associated with Vizcaya at their own pace. In this way, visitors will gain an in-depth understanding of individual objects while exploring themes such as cultural exchange, design and patronage, and work and leisure. The audio tour is also available in English, Spanish, French, and Haitian Creole.
"Miami is Vizcaya's home, but like all great works of art, it belongs to the world," said Ms. Holmes, who is also a member of the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens Trust. "I have always believed that art is a wonderful bridge of communication between cultures. With this Portuguese version of the Vizcaya's audio tour, we warmly welcome visitors from Brazil and South Florida's Portuguese-speaking residents."
"The addition of a Portuguese version of the Discover Vizcaya audio tour reflects the ever-increasing international visitors to Miami-Dade County's most popular visual arts museum," said Vizcaya's Executive Director Joel Hoffman.
Vizcaya Museum and Gardens preserves the Miami estate of International Harvester Vice President James Deering (1859–1925). Built between 1914 and 1922, Vizcaya is one of the most intact remaining architectural examples from the era in United States history known as the American Renaissance, when the nation's wealthy industrialists build lavish estates inspired by the palaces of Europe. Vizcaya was designated a National Historic Landmark and is owned and operated by Miami-Dade County. Vizcaya is open daily except Tuesdays, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Winding the Yarn on a Flower Loom
Sponsored Links
See the small looms page for tutorials on many techniques for stitching the centre of your flower.
|The Layered Wrap
The layered wrap is used for flowers with maximum volume. The difference between this wrap and the following "flat wrap" is most clearly seen when you make your flowers with Swistraw or ribbon straw.
It's also a good way to wrap flowers that you want to stitch with an open centre because the exact middle of the flower is very obvious.
Winding the yarn onto your daisy loom is done the same way, no matter what shape your loom is.
Hold your loom so that you have a pin or peg directly at the top and bottom.
Leave at least 4 inches of thread to darn in later. You can wind it around the knob on a daisy loom, or stick it to the back of a flower loom with some sticky tape.
Begin at the bottom, on the right of the pin and bring the end of the yarn (that is still connected to the skein) up to the left hand side of the top pin as shown in the diagram on the left.
Wind your yarn around the back of the top pin, then back to where you started.
Don't pull the yarn tight. It should be just snug enough to prevent it falling off. If you pull it tightly your flowers will be an uneven size and shape.
Wind your yarn around the back of the bottom pin, then up to the pin on the right hand side of the top one.
If this is awkward, rotate your loom anticlockwise while you wind so that the next pin is always at the top.
Bring the yarn back down to the right hand side of the next pin at the bottom as shown in the diagram on the left.
|Continue winding in this manner until you have wound yarn around all the pins.
|If you're not using a very bulky yarn, winding around the loom just once might not be the look you're after. Continue winding around all the pegs until your flower is as dense as you want it to be.
My loom on the left is wound twice with dk weight wool (that's 8 ply to my fellow Aussies).
When you're done, bring your yarn back to the centre of your flower, then measure the length of yarn you need to stitch your centre and cut the yarn.
I find that 12 inches is usually more than enough for most of the centre stitching styles on a 2 and a half inch loom.
Note: If you want to do a knotted edging leave an extra 12-15 inches of yarn.
For a list of tutorials on finishing the centre of your flower see the small looms index page.
|The Flat Wrap
The flat wrap is made in almost exactly the same way as the layered wrap. This wrap style creates flowers with less volume. When you use this winding method with Swistraw or ribbon straw your petals will look more formal and not fluff apart as easily.
To make the flat wrap, instead of working all the way around the loom multiple times you complete the wraps on each petal one at a time.
Begin at the bottom, on the right of the pin and bring the end of the yarn (that is still connected to the skein) up to the left hand side of the top pin as shown in the diagram on the left.
Wind your yarn around the back of the top pin, then back to where you started.
Don't pull the yarn tight. It should be just snug enough to prevent it falling off. If you pull it tightly your flowers will be an uneven size and shape.
Now wind around the same two pins as many times as you desire.
Continue working around the loom once in the same way as you did for the layered wrap, only working all of the wraps for each petal before moving on to the next one.
This paper flower was made using the flat wrap technique. It's not immediately obvious because they sit directly on top of each other, but there are two layers of large green petals around the outside of the flower.
The flat and layered wrapping techniques can be combined in different layers of the same flower to create different effects.

The old labor motto goes, "From each according to ability, to each according to need," but hundreds of thousands of people are stuck in jobs that pay according to their disability, and end up with jobs that match neither ability nor need.
Although federal labor law's guiding principle is "equal pay for equal work," workers with disabilities are categorically restricted from earning equal pay under antiquated federal labor laws, and physically barred from regular workplaces. People with disabilities are literally stuck on a second-class wage scale, based on the assumption that they lack the competence to be equally productive. The structural bias ingrained in the labor market has left more than 80 percent of people with disabilities out of the workforce.
But amid rising debates on social inequality, the political conversation on fair labor for people with disabilities is shifting from sympathy to equity. Disability rights got boosted at the Democratic National Convention, with a platform provision for abolishing the so-called "sub-minimum wage" for workers with disabilities. The move follows years of grassroots and legislative advocacy on the state and federal levels to dismantle policies that restrict pay or job access for workers with disabilities.
The sub-minimum wage remains a powerful, and condescending, discriminatory barrier, say rights advocates. The Fair Labor Standards Act provision known as 14(c) allows some bosses to seek waivers, known as "exemptions," to pay substandard wages to workers with impairments—in some cases under $1 per hour. Since the New Deal, the rules have been incrementally whittled down, so that instead of ensuring opportunity for workers who would otherwise be excluded, many segregated programs for workers with disabilities—typically low-grade jobs doing rote tasks like assembling housewares—can effectively pay whatever they want—if the firms certify the wages are "commensurate" for their duties (an arbitrary standard prone to exploitation).
Some changes are already underway. The Labor Department just tightened standards for granting employers exemptions, mandating that workers in sub-minimum-wage jobs be provided transitional services focused on integration into community-based jobs, and stipulating that workers under age 24 could not be placed in exempt jobs without first being offered transitional services. A recent executive order raised minimum wages for federal contract workers with disabilities.

to our company
Keeping in mind the need of people to serve their guests at a large number of gathering in a hygienic yet economical people, disposables were introduced. We, Om Sai Manufacturer started our company as a Manufacturer and Wholesaler/Distributor to meet this need of people via our wide variety of disposable products such as plate and dona made up of Disposable Thermocol Plates, Fiber EPS (Expanded Polystyrene), HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene) and PVC (Poly Vinyl Chloride). All these items are available in various sizes, colors shades and designs, from classical to the modern ones to meet the diverse demands of this dynamic market. The production plant of our company is well equipped with latest machinery and tools that helps us in producing products with the desired attributes for our clients.
When it comes to disposable items, we are winning hearts of numerous people with the quality of our products. Our buyers can always rely on us for many reasons such as the deliverance of disposables within the time frame specified by them, prices quotes, etc. Amalgamating front line designs with reasonable price tags, our business has been expanding its parameters for the previous years to put forth superior disposables. The special and distinct touches that our company offers to our clients in our range enable us to be distinctive from various other firms of the industry.
Why People Prefer Disposables?
Disposable Thermocol Plates have always won hearts of people for several reasons. Some of the reasons due to which disposable products are always the top choice of people for use in various occasions are listed below:
Other tableware such as metal plates or chinaware are risky to be carried as these are heavy and can break into pieces easily, thus, people do not prefer using them at parties, get-together or any other function and buy disposable items that are light in weight and provide the best way for serving eatables and drinks.
Cleaning up things at the end of a function can be a hectic task but with the one-time-use property of disposables, people can easily use and throw the products as they come in really cost-effective prices.
This one time usage factor reduces the risk of getting affected by the communicable diseases.

It's Okay, That's Love goes on vacation to Thailand
Hit drama series It's Okay, That's Love completed its successful run at the top spot in Korean TV ratings as well as in DramaFever's Top 10 list. The entire cast, production team, and staff members are being rewarded with a six-day vacation in Thailand to celebrate the show's success.
It's been reported that the travelers will include lead stars Jo In Sung, Gong Hyo Jin, Sung Dong Il, Lee Kwang Soo, and other cast members, as well as director Kim Kue Tae and scriptwriter Noh Hee Kyung. They will leave on September 17 and return September 22. Unfortunately, Do Kyung Soo (D.O.) will not be able to join them because he has to return to the popular K-pop boy group EXO due to scheduling conflict.
Watch Lee Dong Wook as a coldhearted man with a supernatural secret in Blade Man
The production team contains members from the previous drama That Winter, The Wind Blows, which also starred Jo In Sung. According to a representative, the team has been planning for a vacation together ever since that show, and "This really shows the teamwork between the production team, crew, and actors. It will be a memorable trip for everyone, especially since the actors also took part in preparing this celebration."
Wouldn't it be fun if there is a live vacation special to see these housemates again? Just imagining all of them at the same resort makes me crack up.

Bomb Threats Emergency Information
Bomb threats are often nothing more than pranks or threats intended to create a sense of fear, but each threat must be taken seriously with all safety precautions followed until the threat area is determined to be safe. Most bomb threats are made over the telephone, but can also be made in writing or through email messages.
Threats by telephone:
Attempt to keep the caller on the phone as long as they cooperate in providing information. Callers making a threat will sometimes make a brief statement and hang up; however, others may be willing to share information in great detail. Document as much information as possible while asking questions using the "Explosive Device Questionnaire" which is located on the last page of this brochure. Note any observations that might assist in identifying the caller.
If the caller refuses to answer questions, attempt to document the exact wording of the threat.
Document the Caller ID number if available.
Immediately call UD Police at (937) 229-2121 or 911 (UD phone). Advise your supervisor and evacuate if you are in the area of the threat.
Threats by written documents or email messages:
Attempt to preserve evidence by not handling written documents.
Do not delete, alter, or forward email messages.Bomb Threats Response Guide>>

The On-Line Newsletter
From 28 March 2001 Issue:
By Jim Rome, Fox Sports
Good news: The annual I-killed-a-dog-sled race is over. That means that all of the dogs who managed to make it through another year without getting beaten to death on the frozen tundra of Alaska have another 12 months to breathe easy.
Legendary animal whacker Doug Swingley won the race, again to complete the three-peat. It was his fourth title overall. This guy is the Michael Jordan of dog sled killing, errr, racing. And he says this one was especially meaningful to him because there were six other former champions in the field.
The fact that you were able to outwhip, outbeat and outmutilate those other guys must make you proud, D. Actually, what I really was curious about, were the only stats that truly matter. Namely, how many dogs gave their life for this oh so important event? And, the final tally: 2 dead dogs and several others that bowed out due to injury. Including a group that was mangled by a snowmaking machine.
Great event, this I-killed-a-dog-sled race. What's better than watching dogs die and get mauled by a snow machine? And don't even bother with your, "You don't get it Rome," e-mails. You're right, I don't. and I don't want to either.
I hope I never get to place where beating dogs to death is good sport.

I have often wondered about this as well. After all, bread goes bad. It seems logical that breadcrumbs would go bad as well.
After a little research, what I discovered is that breadcrumbs are so dry that mold cannot form (bread is very dry as well, but humidity in the air can cause mold under certain circumstances) [1]. Therefore, they have a very long storage life.
A good rule of thumb is that breadcrumbs can be eaten for up to a year when stored in the pantry [2]. After that point, eating them will probably not make you sick, although the breadcrumbs may look or taste differently than before. This is true even if the breadcrumbs are past their "best buy" date.

Dust Separator Lid for 5 Gallon Bucket
Designed for use with shop vacs, this lid fits atop a 5 gallon bucket and gives chips and dust a chance to drop out of the airstream before they enter the filter bags. In other words, you've just made a two-stage system. A 2-1/2" elbow on the inside of the lid inlet helps create a cyclonic flow inside the bucket, so that all but the very finest dust drops into the container. The result: easier emptying, and more efficient dust collection since empty filter bags have a greater effective surface area. Inlet and outlet ports fit 2-1/2" hose.
Notice to residents of California: Please read our Proposition 65 warning.

When spring hits Oklahoma, it really hits! It's 78* out there today and our nighttime lows haven't hit freezing in nearly a week. From here on out it will warm up fast. I've waited a bit too long to plant my cold-weather crops in the fenced garden but I have to move lots of compost in there to plant in and haven't managed that yet.
We'll still have a freeze or two or three - hopefully not at the crucial time when the fruit trees are blooming - but I think it's safe to say that winter is pretty much over.
I drove into town the other day and saw daffodils blooming. We live up in "the hills" and it takes a full week longer for things to bloom up here.
My goal today was to get a few "gardening" things done. I moved the cedar waterwheel that R had made for me several years ago to the back deck. Since moving here, it's been setting next to the barn in three pieces. I like the height of it on the deck, and as well as being decorative its shadow will help some plants that can't survive in the summer sun. It used to work, water running out the spout and down the wheel, but I don't intend to try that. I will instead put a potted plant in the spout's "tray".
Next I planted the rosemary bush that a friend gave me Wednesday. I'd had it in water in the kitchen; it was too big to keep in the house for long. I've killed every rosemary bush I've ever tried to grow - 3 of them. Hopefully this one will make it. It's supposed to be EASY to grow. I love the scent of rosemary; it brings back memories of my grandmother's place in the California desert where it must have grown wild.
Finally I played in the dirt in my deck container garden a bit. I'll get herbs planted in them soon, but I've run out of time today. I filled the birdbath, which no bird will ever use again because the cats have discovered the deck, but it looks pretty, and the cats drink out of it.
Till next time...

|At JRS/USA, we are responding to the needs of refugees by fighting to uphold the American values of opportunity and welcome.
Washington, 7 March 2017 - Jesuit Refugee Service/USA is greatly disappointed by the Trump Administration's issuance of a revised Executive Order banning the entry of travelers from six Muslim majority countries into the United States for ninety days, suspending the U.S. refugee resettlement program for 120 days, and slashing the number of planned refugee admissions by more than half.
While this new order has been artfully reworded to remove some of the most obvious legally-objectionable provisions of the original order, it still arbitrarily asserts that the security of the United States demands extreme measures to prevent the entry of persons of certain nationalities into our country. The UNHCR explains more about refugee resettlement in the US.
Both orders severely limit the ability of the U.S. to rescue suffering victims of war and persecution – the vast majority of them women and children - by denying them access to resettlement in communities eager to offer them a welcome home. This shameful policy flies in the face of American humanitarian values and does damage to our international reputation as a caring and responsible society.
"The world is deeply troubled, and many of our brothers and sisters are justifiably terrified. Our Catholic and Jesuit identity calls us to welcome the stranger and to approach different faith traditions and cultures with openness and understanding. We must not give in to fear. We must continue to defend human rights and religious liberty," said Fr. Leo J. O'Donovan, S.J., Interim Executive Director of Jesuit Refugee Service/USA.
At Jesuit Refugee Service, we are responding to the needs of refugees by fighting to uphold the American values of opportunity and welcome. We are redoubling our efforts to provide help to refugees who wait in limbo in camps and settlements. Our life-changing educational services, counseling, livelihoods training and emergency support are critical to refugees, the most vulnerable among us.
How can you help?
Donate today towards programs supporting refugees in their countries
Urge the President and your policymakers to rescind these harmful executive orders

A Marine who nearly died in Iraq is giving back to his fellow servicemen and women by biking for the second time 430 miles from Scottsdale, Ariz., to San Diego, Calif., MyFoxPhoenix.com reported.
The annual Bike430 ride, which will be held October 12 this year, raises money for injured Marines and their families through the Injured Marine Fund.
"As long as I can ride my bike I'm going to start helping Marines and any veterans that need help," Angel Gomez said.
The brain injury Gomez suffered was so severe doctors didn't think he would make it. Now, he's giving back trying to help other Marines who are struggling with war injuries.
"I took shrapnel in the head and I lost use of the right side of my body," Gomez said.
Gomez says the injury changed his life. He was a 19-year-old serving in Iraq when an improvised explosive device hit him. He lost part of his brain.
"I couldn't walk I couldn't talk I pretty much had to start all over everything," he said.
On Friday, DNA Cycles gave Gomez a free bike that'll make it easier for him to ride with the limitations on the right side of his body.
DNA Cycles owner Don Eldrige rode with Gomez to San Diego last year. It's a bike ride for charity he'll never forget.
"How do you not help somebody like Angel... Having a rider like Angel on the ride is more inspirational than having the most professional athlete. It's very moving."

Literature portal
Napoleon Hill (October 26, 1883 – November 8, 1970) was an American author in the area of the new thought movement who was one of the earliest producers of the modern genre of personal-success literature.[1] His most famous work, Think and Grow Rich (1937), is one of the best-selling books of all time (at the time of Hill's death in 1970, Think and Grow Rich had sold 20 million copies).[2] Hill's works examined the power of personal beliefs, and the role they play in personal success.[3][4] Most of his books described principles to achieve 'success'.
Life and works
Napoleon Hill was born in a one-room cabin near the Appalachian town of Pound, in Southwest Virginia.[5] Hill's mother died when he was nine years old, and his father remarried two years later. At the age of 13, Hill began writing as a "mountain reporter" for small-town newspapers in the area of Wise County, Virginia. He later used his earnings as a reporter to enter law school, but soon he had to withdraw for financial reasons.[6]
Influence of Andrew Carnegie
Napoleon Hill considered the turning point in his life to have occurred in the year 1908 with his assignment, as part of a series of articles about famous and successful men, to interview the industrialist and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. According to Hill's latter books, at the time of his meeting, Carnegie was one of the most powerful men in the world. Hill discovered that Carnegie believed that the process of success could be outlined in a simple formula that anyone would be able to understand and achieve. Impressed with Hill, Carnegie asked him if he was up to the task of putting together this information, to interview or analyze over 500 successful men and women, many of them millionaires, in order to discover and publish this formula for success.[7]
As part of his research, Hill wrote that he interviewed many of the most successful people of the time in the United States. In the acknowledgments section of his 1928 multi-volume work The Law of Success,[8] Hill listed 45 of those studied by him during the previous twenty years, "the majority of these men at close range, in person", like the three to whom the book set was dedicated, Andrew Carnegie, Henry Ford, and Edwin C. Barnes, an associate of Thomas Edison. Carnegie had given Hill a letter of introduction to Ford,[9] who introduced Hill to Alexander Graham Bell, Elmer R. Gates, Thomas Edison, and Luther Burbank.[10] According to the publishers, Ralston University Press (Meriden, Conn.), endorsements for the publishing of The Law of Success were sent by a number of them, including William H. Taft, Cyrus H. K. Curtis, Thomas Edison, Luther Burbank, E.M. Statler, Edward W. Bok, and John D. Rockefeller.[9][10] The list in the acknowledgments also includes, among those of them personally interviewed by Hill,[10] Rufus A. Ayers, John Burroughs, Harvey Samuel Firestone, Elbert H. Gary, James J. Hill, George Safford Parker, Theodore Roosevelt, Charles M. Schwab, Frank A. Vanderlip, John Wanamaker, F. W. Woolworth, Daniel Thew Wright, and William Wrigley, Jr. Hill was also an advisor to two presidents of the United States of America, Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Delano Roosevelt.[9][11]
Spiritual experiences
Napoleon Hill openly described his experiences with spirits that visited him, in Chapter 12 of his book, Grow Rich! With Peace of Mind (1967). He referred to them as unseen friends, unseen watchers, strange beings, and the Great School of Masters that had been watching him and maintain a school of wisdom. Hill states that the "Master" spoke to him audibly and revealed secrets and knowledge to him. Hill further relates that the Masters "can disembody themselves and travel instantly to any place they choose in order to acquire essential knowledge, or to give knowledge directly, by voice, to anyone else." Grow Rich! With Peace of Mind was heavily influenced by Hill's spiritual experiences; Hill refers to the "Master" by saying, "Much of what he said already has been presented to you in the chapters of this book or will follow in other chapters.."[12]
The Philosophy of Achievement
As a result of Hill's studies via Carnegie's introductions, the Philosophy of Achievement was offered as a formula for rags-to-riches success by Hill and Carnegie, published initially in 1928 as the multi-volume study course The Law of Success.[8] For this first edition, Hill had rewritten his previous 1925 manuscript,[9] also recently released in 2011.[13][14] The Achievement formula was detailed further and published in home-study courses, including the seventeen-volume "Mental Dynamite" series until 1941.
Hill later called his personal success teachings "The Philosophy of Achievement", and he considered freedom, democracy, capitalism, and harmony to be important contributing elements to this philosophy. Hill claimed throughout his writings that without these foundations upon which to build, successful personal achievements were not possible. He contrasted his philosophy with others' and thought that the Achievement Philosophy was superior. He felt that it was responsible for the success Americans enjoyed for the better part of two centuries. Negative emotions such as fear, selfishness, etc., had no part to play in his philosophy. Hill considered those emotions to be the source of failure for unsuccessful people.[15]
The secret of achievement was tantalizingly offered to readers of Think and Grow Rich, but Hill felt readers would benefit most if they discovered it for themselves. Although most readers feel that he never explicitly identified this secret, he offers these words about 20 pages into the book: If you truly desire money so keenly that your desire is an obsession, you will have no difficulty in convincing yourself that you will acquire it. The object is to want money, and to be so determined to have it that you convince yourself that you will have it. . . You may as well know, right here, that you can never have riches in great quantities unless you work yourself into a white heat of desire for money, and actually believe you will possess it. However, Napoleon Hill also states at the introduction that the secret that the 'canny, lovable old Scotsman carelessly tossed it into my mind' (Andrew Carnegie) was also the same secret that Manuel L. Quezon (then Resident Commissioner of the Philippine Islands) was inspired by to 'gain freedom for his people, and went on to lead them as its first president.' And although a burning desire for money is mentioned throughout the book, it would be both presumptuous and folly to presume it is this which is the secret that Hill refers to, especially since the 'secret' is far more effective if realized by the reader when they are ready for it. Napoleon Hill resolves the secret at the end of his book The Law of Success: it is The Golden Rule. Only by working harmoniously in co-operation with other individuals or groups of individuals and thus creating value and benefit for them will one create sustainable achievement for oneself.
He presented the idea of a "Definite Major Purpose" as a challenge to his readers in order to make them ask themselves, "In what do I truly believe?" According to Hill, 98% of people had few or no firm beliefs, and this alone put true success firmly out of their reach.[16]
On the most prominent stories told by Hill is about his own son, Blair. He tells how his son was an inspiration to him, because although Blair was born without ears, without any normal hearing organs at all, even though his doctor told Hill that his son would neither be able to hear nor speak, Blair grew up to be able to hear and speak almost normally. Hill tells how his son, in his last year of college, picked up the manuscript of chapter two of Think and Grow Rich, discovered Hill's secret for himself and went on to be an inspiration for hundreds and thousands of people who could not hear or speak.[17]
From 1952 to 1962, Hill taught his Philosophy of Personal Achievement – Lectures on "Science of Success" in association with W. Clement Stone.[18] In 1960, Hill and Stone co-authored the book, Success Through A Positive Mental Attitude. Norman Vincent Peale stated "These two men [Hill and Stone] have the rare gift of inspiring and helping people...In fact, I owe them both a personal debt of gratitude for the helpful guidance I have received from their writings."[19]
Think and Grow Rich remains the top seller of Napoleon Hill's books – a perennial best-seller after 70 years (Business Week Magazine's Best-Seller List ranked Think and Grow Rich as the sixth best-selling paperback business book 70 years after it was first published).[20] Think and Grow Rich is listed in John C. Maxwell's A Lifetime "Must Read" Books List.[21]
Hill's numerous books have sold millions of copies, showing that the secret of achievement is still highly sought-after by many today. Hill dealt with many controversial subjects through his writings including racism, slavery, oppression, failure, revolution, war and poverty. Persevering and then succeeding in spite of these obstacles using the Philosophy of Achievement, Hill stated, was the responsibility of every human.[16]
Today's philosophy-of-success teachers still use the research formulas taught by Hill to expand their students' knowledge of personal development.[21]

He'll follow Elfrod til the end, even ignoring his sacred Elven laws – in order to recover the droplets left by the Water Sphere. The race has begun… Run Elvin, run!
