Emmylou Harris, Rodney Crowell Have 'Tweet Dreams' at the WSJ Cafe
Country stars Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell have a new album out called "Old Yellow Moon" and they stopped by the WSJ Cafe to play a couple songs off the new release. Harris and Crowell were both in good voice and in good moods. When asked if the Journal could tweet a few photos from their soundcheck, Harris called out "Tweet away!" and the pair began crooning "Tweet Dreams" to the tune of Don Gibson's "Sweet Dreams (of You)." Later, after performing another number, Harris laughed "Let's do it again. I could do that song all day." And, happily for everyone in the studio, we got an encore.
Check back in with Speakeasy to hear the performances and watch the WSJ's John Jurgensen interview Harris and Crowell.

text: Between 1906 and 1911, this diary was used by an unnamed schoolgirl. The entries are sporadic and very brief. She recorded the dates of school examinations, illnesses, and doctors' visits, time spent with friends, as well as wind direction and daily temperatures. By 1911, she is no longer in school, but has begun working at the "C. S. Co." in Worcester.

Any piece of crap seems able to make it into the CPAN.
That's why CPAN has succeeded and all other repositories to date either failed outright or stuck around but flounder.
When you meander, and want trivial bucks vice doing it for love, you are dead, dead, dead. Show me the code. Something stable, that I can program against.
Do you know how little manpower actually is behind the whole thing? Everyone wants it now, but people actually doing something about getting it now are a damn sight rarer.
I don't get it. Why are the minimal systems that include Python going to jump up and suddenly include Perl 6 when it comes out, which is a completely different language from Perl 5?
And why the urgent need to, if your code is in Perl 5, migrate it to Perl 6, which is a completely different language? Or, if you are developing new code, why the need to do it in Perl 6 instead of Perl 5?
You've got to do "stuff" in fairly short order. What? You have code you're considering migrating to Python or C. You
You get paid to deal with your clueless management. The Perl 6 community does not. If your management isn't interested in being technically astute enough to figure out that Perl 5 is a well-supported language with a well-supported future, your company deserves what it gets for having them.
So you've successfully taken out the non-language-implementer trash.
My concern is merely in promoting the view that non-contributors do not have the right to complain about the schedule.
As someone who already feels as if they've brought more heat than light to the discussion, I have to STFU, and wish you all the best possible future.
Thank you!
If you do have time to participate in whatever fashion, we would love to have you. I have two projects to complete in the next fortnight, but once that is done I'll revise the Parrot getting started guide, in the hope that the next people who wander by with an hour or two will be able to make much better progress.

"I've been here three years now, and the need is greater this year than it has been in past years," said Kelly Royal, a case worker in social services at the Salvation Army.
Royal said The Salvation Army is always looking for volunteer bell ringers. "We have sites without bell ringers that could have them if we had more volunteers," she said. "Even if you can only volunteer for a few hours, that's a good thing."
But while they are known for bell ringing during Christmas time, the organization could also use help in other areas. Individuals can always bring by canned goods or nonperishables for donations. Additionally, people can also make clothing donations to the Family Donations Center on Arkansas Avenue.
In addition to bell ringing, the Army needs volunteers to bag angel gifts and put together over 300 Christmas food boxes, which will be distributed on Dec. 18.
People interested in signing up as a volunteer should sign up at The Salvation Army's office on Weir Road. People interested in bell ringing can call and be placed on the schedule. The River Valley United Way is another local nonprofit that sees an increased need during December.
"There are needs year-round which barely get addressed," executive director Beth Latham said. "But during the holiday season, it becomes even more obvious that people are having a really hard time just providing basic necessities like food, shelter and clothing for themselves and their families. Then you add the expectations of the holiday season, and it can quickly become overwhelming."
For people interested in volunteering with the River Valley United Way, visit www.rivervalleyunitedway.org and click on the volunteer button. From there, people can sign up for the types of organizations and programs they would be interested in helping with.
"Our tagline is 'Give. Advocate. Volunteer," Latham said. "That is never more appropriate than at this time of year."

This year HBO put out an AWESOME series based on books by George R. R. Martin called 'Game of Thrones' and I fell for this series hard. I love to read but I've decided not to read the books because then I would find out what comes next, and that will not do. Not in this case. If you haven't read the books or if you haven't seen the series, please make sure you see it. It is so well done that the only word worth describing the series are AMAZING and STUNNING. Everything about it is just so well done that it truly feels like I'm dropped into this strange and fascinating world!
The only reason I tuned in to this show was Sean Bean, who's playing Eddard 'Ned' Stark, Lord of Winterfell, the patriarch of Stark Family. Now I'm hooked. There's no way for me to tell you about the story, so without further ado, here's the synopses from the first season….
There are so many great actors in this ensemble cast that I couldn't name all but just to give you some idea here are a few.
…and just for fun, here are the stars of the show at COMIC CAN 2011 in San Diego….
…and here's Drogo vs. Conan….

How CBOs May Help Shrink Readmissions
This article appears in the September 2012 issue of HealthLeaders magazine.
When hospital leaders realized they'll endure cuts of up to 1% from their Medicare reimbursement for higher rates of 30-day readmissions starting next month, many complained. What brings discharged patients back to their facilities most often is largely outside their control, they said.
Patients can't get to the doctor, can't afford or don't fill prescriptions, get confused about dosages or forget they must change their routines. Their anxiety or loneliness or an unexpected drug reaction to a pain medication prompts them to dial 911. Oblivious to household hazards, they suffer a fall.
Those are nonmedical issues influenced by social or economic factors and extend far beyond a hospital's discharge planning responsibilities.
So lawmakers addressed those concerns. They wrote into the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act Section 3026, which sets up a $500 million program not for hospitals, but for community-based organizations that work with discharged patients to avoid these social problems thoughtfully and inexpensively.
Under the Community-Based Care Transitions Program, these CBOs help patients self-manage their care with home visits, counseling, medication reconciliation, financial assistance, transportation, meals and nutrition, legal aid, and follow-up phone calls for 30 days. In other words, these community groups could receive federal funds to do in outpatient settings what hospitals don't and can't. They just had to get hospitals to cooperate with referrals.
"The idea that someone could do home visits—which we knew we didn't have the resources to do—has been reassuring," says Christopher Shearer, MD, chief medical officer for the 266-bed John C. Lincoln North Mountain Hospital, one of two hospitals in the Phoenix-based John C. Lincoln Health System. Shearer has responsibility for readmissions initiatives in the network's hospitals, which are among the first hospitals in the country to sign up. Lincoln is participating in the Phoenix region's Healing@Home program that targets Medicare fee for service beneficiaries who are at high risk for hospital readmission.
After all, he says, "only 25% of readmissions can be directly correlated with what happens during discharge. This has as much if not more to do with patient and outpatient follow-up."
At first, it was challenging to get the program integrated into the day-to-day routine, and make sure the medical providers' efforts dovetailed with those providing social support, he says. But since the Maricopa County program began in March, Shearer says he has heard several stories about readmissions in the works that the CBO was able to prevent.
"It's too early to say whether this has had an overall impact; we'll need to wait another six months," he says. "But we're certainly identifying issues we wouldn't have otherwise."
And in "a worst-case scenario—even if it doesn't work," he adds, "we won't have lost anything."
Shearer says that if there is any cost for the program to the hospital, "it was in getting the program integrated into our day-to-day routine. But we were going to have to do this anyway to deal with readmissions. So we thought the best time to get good at this is now."

Election polls open across Israel
Israelis have started voting in a parliamentary election expected to return Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to office.
A smiling Netanyahu arrived early on Tuesday at a heavily secured polling station in Jerusalem with his wife, Sara.
Israel's hard-line policies toward the Palestinians have created mounting diplomatic isolation, the economy is slowing, and in the background is the question of whether Israel will attack Iran over its suspected nuclear program.

FC Dallas goalkeeper coach Drew Keeshan is the subject of a profile in this week's The Irish World, a weekly newspaper for Irish in the United Kingdom.
Definitely read the entire article, but here are some excerpts:
"I had a good job so I took a chance coming here. The coach who came in (Schellas Hyndman) was a local college guy. I didn't know him and he didn't know me so he sat me down and said: 'You've got five months to show me what you've got'. He gave me the opportunity which I was grateful for. The first two years were tough, we didn't make the play- offs but we found the formula and we have had two good years now."
Drew was delighted to see Republic of Ireland's recent achievements in qualifying for Euro 2012: "It's great for Ireland. I'll tell you a funny story: We were playing New York in the play- offs and I'm walking in at half time, when I get a tap on the shoulder and there's Thierry Henry asking me how Ireland are going to get on in their qualifier. I thought that was ironic."

As it's on everyone's mind: "God Bless the families of those lost in CT and all those around them".
To Danville Express: whereas I do read your content each day, I must remark of the misinformation that is sometimes given. In this story you incorrectly state that the shooter was from New Jersey. This is not true. The shooter lived with his mother in CT. The shooter's brother is who lives in NJ and apparently had nothing to do with this horrible tragedy.
Thank you.

As a substitute teacher who is in many schools in the district I would caution the district from over stating the protection they offer to the children and staff. There is not a campus in the district where the public can not just walk on the campus and enter buildings without being challenged. The high schools don't even pretend to secure their campuses, as students and adults freely walk on and off campuses. The same is true for the elementary schools where volunteers and other parents (and strangers?) often walk right to various classrooms.
While nothing can stop a mentally ill person from doing some harm, our schools could do much more to secure campuses. Perhaps this should be the first thing they do with the bond money which was just approved?

At least San Ramon has professional staff in place. In 1999 after the Columbine tragedy, a principal, now retired in Redwood City, announced he would want a shooter to take out a teacher who was keeping track of his numerous intercom interruptions! He was a golden boy the mucky mucks loved. Typical of that district.

My heart and prayers go out to the 25 victims of this terrible tragedy, and yes, I do mean 25.

SRVSD does lockdown drills???
I hope SRVSD is not scarring our kids needlessly. If you must do drills, please keep it light. Kids don't need to be stressed out thinking about this.
These Sandy Hook kids will be scarred for life. But glad to see some steps taken to try and minimize the impact. For example, the police told the survivors to keep their eyes shut as they exited. That's smart.
I did not tell my kids about this tragedy. Childhood is too short as it is.

SPCWT - I am not sure what age your children are...if they are school age you do need to have a simple conversation about any issues that are this large!! What happens is that other children will fill them in with their own details! Trust me anything important needs to be discussed...alcohol, drugs (including prescription), party's, sex, relationships, making the right choices and current events! I cannot tell you how many children love to spoil Santa, and guess where they learned about him not existing, recess...usually from a child with an older sibling. Even when my son was in middle school, the last thing we would say is "Make good choices, Love You". From being open with current events and as a family talking about life and everything connected, we have a child who did make good choices all through school and has carried that on to adulthood!

This was a senseless tragedy, but since the shooter had to commit murder to aquire the weapons, would more gun laws have kept this from happening?
We always talk about supporting first responders and the fact that they need the appropriate tools to safely do their job and protect the public. Has it ever occurred to anyone that the police are always the second responders, and in this case the first responders were the school faculty? So how could the first responders have affected the outcome?
I submit that those faculty members that are qualified, and be willing, be allowed to carry a concealled weapon while at school (or at the very least have a firearm locked but accessable in their classroom).
These shooters are obviously mentally ill, but not stupid. They choose gun free zones to avoid opposition and when finally confronted with opposition they kill themselves.
Gun laws only affect law-abiding citizens, so gun bans like in Chicago lead to higher murder rates. We shouldn't pass more laws that further restrict the "true" first responders...

Your heart is surely in the right place and I have no doubt as to your genuine empathy for those who were taken much too soon (adults and children) from their loved ones.
However, if you took one moment and thought about arming a single staff member or a select group of individuals, consider the broader context and ultimately the gross naivety of your suggestion. If you believe the qualification process to hold and conceal a weapon with the assignment to protect non-family members, the general public and property is simple, you are surely misled. The world is not perfect but police officers and the military alike continually assess each other's mental and physical fitness to carry out their duties. When that process breaks down, we end up with Sergeant Bales presumptively loosing his mind and going on a killing rampage (Web Link). On the other extreme, one could end up with an educator feeling threatened by students only to pull their weapon with deadly consequences akin to a Bernard Geotz 1984 subway shooting incident.
More so, can you imaging crossfire occurring in a crowded hallway under chaotic situations? If you recall, just recently (August 25) in NYC, two NYPD officers responded to the shooting in or near the Empire State Building. A disgruntled former employee had just shot and killed his former boss. What ensued on the street was an old fashioned gun battle. One officer fired 9 rounds, then other 7. The suspect was killed on the street. However, nine (9) bystanders were struck and thankfully just wounded by only the rounds fired by the responding police officers. Truly a sad outcome to eliminate the public threat. However unfortunate, the City and their elected officials are charged with ensuring and maintaining the appropriateness of each and every officer going forth to do their duty. Can you envision our already challenged school district and board taking on this incredible accountability? Can you even begin to grasp the ubiquitous degree of liability that the school district and it's shareholders (i.e. taxpayers) would have to accept for it's armed employees?
There is a pervasive opinion that in the heat of battle, everyone who has every handled a firearm, hunted and/or target shot instantly becomes a qualified marksman and warrior. I am not one who shares that opinion.
Unless we are expecting to see all of our primary through secondary educators replaced by active duty military commandos (akin to the burly flight attendants who were on all the airlines just after 9/11) who can also teach english literature as well biology, you and I do not want additional guns brought into our children's place of higher learning.

I agree. Police officers and others of whom use these type weapons for a living are taught how to handle these guns during the most trying of circumstances (psy ops training). But it's quite another issue when speaking about the average citizen having a weapon at his/her disposal. It's one thing to go out and target shoot, but quite another issue when you may find yourself in a situation when the adrenalin is pumping and this time, it's not just target practice.
It is not unusual for police officers to miss their aim when involved in real life drama.
I, too, feel Aubrey's heart is in the right place, but arming our staff members is, I feel, a misplaced concept.

Plus, there's a handy chart of food safety and chef-recommended temperatures on the back!If you own a Thermapen and don't have a guidebook but would like one, Request a guidebook to have one mailed to you. Available in Multiple ColorsOriginally, we manufactured the Thermapen in gray only. Later we added all the food-safety color-coding versions. Many people in the food industry use color coding to prevent cross contamination by dedicating tools to specific food products. That way, a knife, cutting board or thermometer that is used for say, raw poultry, won't end up contaminating fresh vegetables like salad greens.That was the reason we did multiple colors for the Thermapen. Of course most people buy a color variety simply according to personal preference. Even in commercial applications it seems most people buy colors so they can quickly tell who belongs to which Thermapen (blue is Fred's, yellow is Cathy's, etc…)In 2006 we added black and orange which weren't even on the color coding system. If you have a color preference that we don't make yet, email us and we'll keep track of your vote.Standard Color Code: Red = raw meat, raw beef and pork. Blue = raw seafood Yellow = raw poultry Green = produce White = dairy or bakery items Thermapen Mk4 FAQ1. Where can I buy the Thermapen? You can buy it right here online. There are only a few authorized dealers, (watch out for counterfeit Thermapen look-alikes). There are a few retail outlets in the U.S. and Canada that stock the Thermapen.2. Why don't more retail outlets carry it? Most retailers want to more than double their money. The big name chains want the most. If a product costs them $4, they want to charge you $10. The Thermapen is already priced at "Trade Pricing". Meaning, this is the price we sell it to commercial food service users and health departments. And, we offer it to the general public at the same price. Big retail chains would have to charge you much, much more and they'd still be mad that we would take your order at a lower price. The retailers that do carry the Thermapen are not making their normal mark-up so thank them if you buy there!3. Where can I buy replacement batteries? The Thermapen Mk4 uses one AAA battery, which are commonly found at Wal-Mart, Target, and other stores. 4. How long should the battery last? The new Thermapen Mk4 with one AAA battery should give you about 3,000 hours of use. This number is based without using the back light. If you grill a lot at night the number will be reduced. 5. Will the Thermapen tell me when my meat is done? Not exactly. Instead it (very quickly) tells you the actual temperature and you decide if that is "done". We can give you the USDA guidelines for food safety but you should consult your favorite cookbooks, TV shows and recipes for advice not only on safe temperatures but the best cooking temperatures for flavor and texture. Also remember that individual preference is very important.6. Other digital cooking thermometers are cheaper. Why pay more for a Thermapen? In use there's a big difference. Don't take our word for it. Check our Reviews page to read the many reasons written by others. Cheaper thermometers are limited by the technology that they use. These can be mass produced for just a few dollars. On the other hand, the Thermapen is hand-assembled and hand-tested and uses a professional thermocouple circuit design. This design costs more to make than the cheap thermometers.7. Why is the Thermapen so much faster than other cooking thermometers? The main reason is the professional thermocouple technology that we use instead of mass-produced thermistor technology. Thermocouples are recommended by the USDA for measurement of cooked meat products and thin portions. Go here to see what a thermocouple means in performance vs. a thermistor. We also use a reduced-diameter needle tip on the probe. Comparable professional meters cost $140 to $300 for the electronics and a similar probe! Some improvements were made in the sensor manufacturing process and the probe assembly in the new Thermapen Mk4 to make it just slightly faster than the original Super-Fast® Thermapen. Media Mentions Don't take our word for it. Thermapen Reviews. Independent Recommendations. See how others review the Thermapen in books, magazines, product reviews, forums and blogs. The Thermapen has got to be the most written-about thermometer since Gabriel Fahrenheit first published a description of his thermometer. So, why knock ourselves out to write glowing sales copy on the Thermapen when all these well-qualified cooking experts can give you an opinion you're more likely to believe?

A Thermapen is a different kind of thermometer; it uses a different technology to read temperatures. Unlike cheaper, more traditional thermometers (which use thermistor sensors) the Thermapen uses what's called a thermocouple sensor. These are used in professional kitchens and other places where getting faster, more accurate temperature readouts is very important. The Thermapen condenses this technology into a relatively small thermometer probe."http://www.thekitchn.com/a-93-thermometer-why-we-love-t-144840Q 4 Fun "The Thermapen is great for BBQing. The less you open your lid when cooking the better and when you do open the lid the less time it is open the better. The Thermapen takes a reading in about three seconds so you only need to open the lid for about 10 to know how your meat is doing. This translates into smaller temperature swings and allows your temperatures to stay more even for better cooking. The thermapen can also be used for other cooking like making jellies, jams and candy."http://q4fun.blogspot.com/2012/01/super-fast-black-thermapen.html?spref=twBBQ Sauce Reviews "The Thermapen is one of the fastest, most accurate thermometers on the market today.

Hello to my faithful fans! All two of you. I haven't died, but I have been a very bad author what with not writing anything for months, losing the link to the translated version of "HP!" someone so kindly, umm, translated, and ignoring my reviews. Truth is, I've been avoiding MNFF, which has a lot to do with the embarassing nature of some of my reviews of others' work, and also the main site itself, MuggleNet. I plan to write LOTS more, cleaning up JKR's loose ends, so keep an eye out. If you want to get in touch, I'm active on LJ, so please, please comment to my journal. DON't email me.
What with DH, a lot of my views on HP have changed. It will probably effect my stories, and it's alreadly effected my profile, as you can see. I hope the rough spot I'm going through with canon will only change my writing in fanon for the better. Keep an eye out! But probably NOT in R/T, okay?

Citation: Clotilde, L.M., Bernard IV, C., Salvador, A., Lin, A., Lauzon, C., Muldoon, M., Xu, Y., Lindpaintner, K., Carter, J.M. 2012. A 7-plex microbead-based immunoassay for serotyping Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli. Journal of Microbiological Methods. 92(2):226-230. doi:10.1016/j.mimet.2012.11.023. Interpretive Summary: Some types of E coli bacteria produce disease in humans by releasing Shiga toxin. The seven most common Shiga toxin producing E coli are known as O26, O45, O103, O111, O121, O145, and O157. Control of these bacteria is dependent on detecting them, and in the case of outbreaks it is very helpful to know which type is present. We have developed a test that determines which of the 7 most common types of E coli are present. Our new test gave the correct result on 78 of 79 strains of Shiga toxin producing E coli.
Technical Abstract: Serotyping of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) has been contingent upon the availability of antisera. Here we describe a 7-plex microbead-based immunoassay to simultaneously serotype seven STEC (i.e., belonging to serogroups O26, O45, O103, O111, O121, O145, and O157) by the Luminex xMAP® technology. This technology presents many advantages: Its multiplexed format (up to 100 analytes) saves time, reagents, and test sample, and many regulatory agencies currently utilize this platform for other assays. In this study, a total of seventy-nine STEC strains belonging to the 7 different serogroups of interest were tested. These strains had been previously serotyped and their serogroup confirmed by PCR. Except for one strain belonging to the O111 serogroup, all strains (i.e., 98.7%; 78/79) were correctly identified on the Bio-Plex 100 instrument in less than 4 h. This newly developed microbead-based immunoassay could be extended to include other STEC serogroups, virulence factors, and/or bacterial species.

Gardy planning to keep Pelfrey in rotation
By Rhett Bollinger / MLB.com
MINNEAPOLIS -- Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said Mike Pelfrey will remain in the rotation despite his recent struggles.
The Twins have been monitoring Pelfrey's workload down the stretch, as he's coming off Tommy John surgery. The right-hander has thrown 142 1/3 innings in 27 starts with the Twins this season after throwing just 19 2/3 last year with the Mets before undergoing elbow surgery on May 1, 2012.
Pelfrey was solid in August with a 3.60 ERA in six starts, but he has posted a 12.00 ERA in two September starts, including giving up seven runs on eight hits over just three-plus innings in Wednesday's 18-3 loss to the A's.
"He's in the rotation right now," Gardenhire said. "We'll talk to him and sit down, but his plans are to stay in the rotation. So we'll see how it goes from there. We'll just gauge him performance by performance. Last night wasn't much, but he obviously didn't use up many innings."
Pelfrey said he wants to remain in the rotation, adding that he's felt fine physically despite his troubles so far in September.
Pelfrey, who is making $4 million this year, also has monetary incentives at stake, as he's due a $100,000 bonus if he throws 150 innings and another $150,000 if he reaches 160 innings. But he said his reasons for wanting to stay in the rotation have more to do with finishing the year strong than reaching his incentives.
"I would like to finish the season," Pelfrey said. "I always take pride in taking the ball every fifth day. Whatever I end up getting to is what I end up getting to."
Trio of callups make season debuts for Twins
MINNEAPOLIS -- One of the only positives of Wednesday's 18-3 loss to the A's was that it allowed for several September callups to make their season debuts for the Twins.
Catcher Eric Fryer had the most memorable debut, as he homered in his first at-bat in the sixth inning. It was also the 28-year-old's first career big league homer in 17 games, including 16 with the Pirates over the previous two seasons.
"The game was out of hand, but it felt good," Fryer said. "It's a big yard. I didn't know if it would get up or get out. It was fantastic."
Right-hander Shairon Martis also made a good impression, throwing a scoreless inning with two strikeouts. But right-hander Cole De Vries gave up three runs in his first three innings of work on the season.
Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said he wants to see more of Martis, who pitched for the Netherlands in the World Baseball Classic and had a 4.26 ERA at Triple-A Rochester, while De Vries remains a candidate to join the rotation in case the Twins decide to shut down Mike Pelfrey or Andrew Albers early.
"Martis threw very good," Gardenhire said. "We want to see him pitch. He came in highly recommended by our Triple-A staff. … It was nice to see him get into the ballgame yesterday and see how he handled it. He had a nice fastball and a good slider. So we'll get him some work."
Worth noting
• Twins catcher Joe Mauer, who had to cut his workout short on Wednesday due to concussion-like symptoms, worked out without any issues at Target Field on Thursday, according to Twins manager Ron Gardenhire. But Mauer didn't hit on the field, as the Twins didn't take on-field batting practice before their 8-2 loss to the A's.
• Twins general manager Terry Ryan said the club is still waiting to make a decision on whether right-hander Samuel Deduno will undergo arthroscopic surgery this offseason. Ryan said it looks more and more likely that Deduno will need to have his shoulder scoped. Deduno was placed on the 15-day disabled list with right shoulder soreness on Aug. 30, and was transferred to the 60-day disabled list on Monday.
• Entering play Friday, the Twins have 32 homers from their rookies, marking the highest total by Minnesota rookies since 1999, when they hit 42. Oswaldo Arcia leads the group with 12 homers.

Welcome back to 31 Days to Building a Cleaning Routine! On Monday I listed out some of the processes I'll be blogging about this month. I also talked about how to figure out what margin time you have available to start your cleaning routine.
**Please join my weekly linky party: Take it on Tuesday!
Day 2 task: Create a Cleaning List
In order to create my cleaning list, I spent some time googling cleaning checklists and thinking about my particular situation. I live in a townhome with 3 levels and mostly wood floors.
Step 1: Brainstorm
Sit down with a clean piece of paper and just write and write the things you want to clean until you can't come up with anything else. Then google and see if there is anything else to add to the list.
Step 2: Identify Frequency
Next to each cleaning task, mark how often you would like to accomplish it. Keep in mind your schedule and the fact that you could enlist others to help you. I wrote these letters next to each task:
Then I counted how many daily and weekly tasks and made sure I had a reasonable amount. I knew I didn't want to have more than 2-3 weekly tasks per day.
Step 3: Assign Days to complete weekly tasks based on your schedule
Mondays my day is free until 1pm. It's really nice to have that time after the weekend to straighten the house and do laundry. So I assigned the weekly tasks of Laundry, Living Room, Dusting & Cleaning off Dressers to Mondays.
Tuesdays are my errand days, so I don't have time for too much housework. My weekly tasks are Grocery Shopping and Bathrooms. Since bathrooms are my least favorite cleaning task, I try to be sure I tackle that early, so that nagging task is done and I feel so much more energized to go shopping!
The others days I kept my schedule in mind while assigning weekly tasks as well:
– Wednesdays are a big blog day (because it follows my TIOT linky party)
– Thursdays I don't have time for much housework
– Fridays I am home most of the day and often doing a lot of cooking, so I focus on cleaning the kitchen
– Saturdays I want to tackle bigger, ongoing projects (or a monthly cleaning task)
– Sundays I take off (besides dishes & tidying).
Step 4: Create a table
I put my daily & weekly tasks on one paper and my monthly & infrequent tasks on another paper. I made both of them a pdf so you can print these off. Again, if you want a blank version, just email me and ask! Here is what my pages look like:
Isn't it awesome? I love to check things off, so I just check off if I accomplished the tasks for that day. If there is something I still need to tackle, I will circle it and hope to get to it another day.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions or comments!
Day 3 task: Set alarms to tackle tricky tasks
Tomorrow I will be talking about the importance of setting alarms, especially when you are trying to build a new habit. I set some alarms on my phone so that I will get to bed on time, and thus wake up energized and ready to go.
See you tomorrow!
Linking up at these awesome blog parties!

Drunken Pears Stuffed with Cookie Crumble
If you like poached pears, you'll love this dessert, in which the pears are basically poached in the oven. The cookie crumb mixture in the core of each pear half is reminiscent of the topping on a fruit crisp. These are perfect for an autumn dinner party.
From: You Made That Dessert? Create Fabulous Treats, Even if You Can Barely Boil Water ©2009 by Beth Lipton. Buy the book
Total Time:
Level: Easy
Serves: 4
- 4 Bosc pears
- 1 c. red wine
- 3 tbsp. sugar
- 6 homemade or store-bought gingersnaps
- 2 tbsp. finely chopped walnuts
- 2 tbsp. unsalted butter
- 2 tsp. honey
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (optional)
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Using a vegetable peeler, peel the pears. Slice them in half lengthwise using a sharp chef's knife. Using a melon baller or spoon, scoop out the cores. Using a sharp paring knife, trim off the base of each pear half and gently cut out the stem. Cut a very thin slice off the rounded edge of each pear half, so they lie flat when placed round-side down.
- Pour the wine into a 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Whisk in the sugar until dissolved. Place the pears in the pan with the wine mixture (for now, set them so that the flat sides are face-down). Bake 15 minutes. Halfway through the baking time, baste the pears by spooning the wine mixture over them.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix the crushed cookies and nuts together with a fork. Pour in the melted butter and honey, and stir with a fork until the nuts and cookie crumbs are completely moistened (add another 1/2 teaspoon honey if it seems dry).
- Pull the baking dish out of the oven and close the oven door (but leave it on). Using a spoon, carefully turn over the pears so that the cores are facing up. Using the melon baller, fill each pear core with the cookie mixture, mounding it slightly. Baste the pears with the wine (which should now have a more syrupy consistency than it did when you started).
- Bake the pears for another 10 to 15 minutes, until the filling is golden brown. Remove the pan from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes. Place 2 pear halves on each plate and spoon some wine syrup over. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.

I adore this pattern paper. I love the blues and yellows. I have used this paper on a lot of pictures of my little one playing in the backyard, in his baby pool, and in a large pool. The colors go with just about everything! I didnt use the whole sheets of this paper I just used bits and pieces with soild background paper. It gave it a nice clean look. I will use anything with stripes, I love how it draws the eye outward.
Great double-sided paper with the colors of summer.
I love this for summertime!
