MS Office 2013 suite introduces a new feature wherein you can select a word(s) from a given document and then use a search engine to explore more of it on the internet. Now, since the product is by Microsoft, it is obvious that they would associate Bing as the default search provider. Take a look at the image below.
However, Bing is not my personal favorite. So, I started looking for a way to change it to Google. You may want to switch too, or may be quite content with the default. What’s more important is that there is no direct and simple way to change the default.
Cool Tip: Want to learn how to change the default save settings on MS Office? Worry not. We have it covered here.
You have to play with a few registry entries. And, that’s exactly what we are going to discuss about in this post.
Note: Modifying registry entries isn’t always safe and some serious problems can occur if you do things wrong. So, follow the steps very carefully. It is also a good practice to backup the registry before you start making changes.
The steps that you’ll follow is a one-time effort. And, the changes would reflect across all tools (Excel, Word, PowerPoint and others) of the MS Office suite.
Step 1: Open the run dialog (hit Windows Key + R), type regedit and hit Enter.
Step 3: Click on General. Now, on the right pane, right-click on an empty space, navigate to New and click on String Value.
Step 4: Name the string as SearchProviderName. Now, right-click on this and go to Modify.
Step 5: Then a dialog box will come up asking for a value to the string. This field will read the name of the search provider in your tools. You can give it any name. I wanted a relevant one so I named it Google.
Step 6: Repeat Step 3 through Step 5. This time the string should be named SearchProviderURI and its value should indicate the search URL.
Listed below are the URI’s for Google, Yahoo and Office.com.
Step 7: Close the Registry Editor and navigate to one of the applications of MS Office. MS Word, for instance. Select some words, right-click and note the difference in the search provider.
Click on it too and see if the redirection is happening to the correct domain. If not, you may have missed something or done something wrong. Go through the steps again.
Though Bing has come a long way, it is yet to catch my fancy. I still prefer Google and want it to be my default search engine across all the tools that I use. I am sure a number of you would want that too. And for those who prefer Bing, well, no harm in knowing this trick either.

Today was supposed to be our weekly date night, sadly life got in the way and by the end of the day, we were both so tired we decided to put it off for tomorrow.
So next weeks My Meals Monday will be a date night post for sure!
I started my morning off with my usual oatmeal, although I was far to lazy to actually chop up the banana and make it look pretty, I instead threw it into the middle of the bowl whole and called it good.
For lunch I had what I call the best chicken soup ever, it’s the Chunky Chicken Noodle from Safeway, it’s so good I could eat this forever, I added a pack of whole grain ritz crackers and feasted like a queen lol.
As you can see I’m still on my Cara Cara Orange trip, they are just so good I actually cannot stop myself from buying them, so I enjoyed this as my afternoon snack.
Due to the very abrupt cancellation of our date we were at a loss as to what to do for dinner, so we ordered takeout of course, I had steamed veg, green bean chicken, teriyaki chicken, mushroom chicken, and kung pao chicken, with and apple juice to ease the heat from the kung pao.
I finished up the night with my favorite tea of all time, the TeaPigs peppermint and licorice and enjoyed a mini KitKat and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, which was so naughty but so good.
Thats is everything I ate today, I would love to know what you and your partner do for date night.
Also here is today’s Main Channel Video and Daily Vlog.

Waugh Bag ReportHome » Blog » Waugh’s Bag, Volume Eight, Issue Four!
Despite being on borrowed time, the Netflix/Marvel Studios train has kept chugging along. After the cancellation of Daredevil, it’s all but assured that Frank Castle is next on the chopping block, but he’s not going down without a fight, and if there’s two things to take away from The Punisher‘s second season, it’s this: Frank Castle knows how to fight, and Jon Bernthal can hold together a bunch of disparate storylines and keep you still intrigued, even if the end result isn’t quite up to par with what he deserves.
Picking up a few months after the end of the first season, The Punisher’s sophomore outing finds Frank Castle assuming a new identity as “Peter” in rural Michigan. He’s set aside his life of violence, preferring to spend his time at the bar, winding down with “one beer at a time”. But like everything in Frank Castle’s life, violence has a way of finding him, and after coming across a young transient girl (Giorgia Whigham) who runs afoul of some very dangerous men, Frank finds himself on a journey that takes him back to New York City, and in the crosshairs of Billy Russo, the man who killed his family and is now permanently scarred physically and mentally by his last run in with The Punisher.
Let’s get this out of the way first: this season is a bit of a mess. When it was first announced that this season would feature not only Jigsaw (who was set up at the end of last season), and a new villain that’s part of a religious cult, I assumed that this season would follow a similar format of Daredevil‘s second season, with a few episodes devoted to one storyline, and the remainder focusing on the other. However, the show-runners behind this season try to cram both storylines together, and it doesn’t really work all that well. John Pilgrim (Josh Stewart) starts off as a pretty interesting villain who could challenge America’s views on religion (much like how The Punisher is a statement on America’s view on guns), but once Frank makes his was back to New York, Pilgrim is largely an afterthought, only appearing a handful of times. Billy Russo fares better, mainly because Ben Barnes does a good job portraying him, even if the character should really look a lot more gross after the injuries he sustained last season.
Speaking of Russo, the decision to have Jigsaw’s scars be mental as well as physical makes sense, but the way the character looks makes it seem less like it was a decision made by the show-runners before they started filming, and more like one made when actor Ben Barnes decided he didn’t want to be covered in make up. That being said, Barnes actually makes Russo a little sympathetic at first, as the trauma from his facial scars and fight with Frank Castle have left him with short term memory loss. However, once he remembers what happened to him (and why it happened), Russo quickly goes back on the hunt for Castle, with the help of his psychiatrist turned lover, Dr. Dumont (Floriana Lima).
One of the frustrating aspects of this season actually centers around Dr. Dumont. The fact that this seasoned professional is not only attracted to her patient, but is willing to upend her life to be with him and his criminal empire is pretty absurd, and just seemed like the writers taking the cheapest (and laziest) way out. There’s no real explanation for why a doctor who’s seen hundreds of patients would be willing to change out her life for Russo, and it’s easily the weakest parts of the season.
While there’s some definite narrative flaws with The Punisher‘s second season, Jon Bernthal remains consistent throughout. I’ve been a fan of his since the first season of The Walking Dead, and now in his third time out playing Frank Castle, it’s safe to say he’s the best live-action take on the character ever. His casting as the character will go down as one of the best in the entire superhero genre. Bernthal is able to find the small nuggets of humanity that still exist within Frank Castle, and those are showcased really effectively in his scenes with Amy, the teenage girl he rescues from John Pilgrim’s crew, and with Karen Page (Deborah Ann-Wol) in her obligatory cameo episode. However, he also doesn’t shy away from the fact that at his core, Frank Castle is good at one thing: killing, and when he gets into rage mode, you better clear out, cause it’s going to get BLOODY.
More so than the first season, Punisher features some absurdly violent action sequences. Numerous times I winced and audibly gasped at what I was seeing with my own eyes, and I have a pretty high tolerance for gore. The action sequences are well choreographed and pretty inventive, the highlight being Frank taking on a bunch of giant Russians in a gym in the fifth episode. Trust me, uou’ll never look at gym equipment quite the same way again.
There’s a high likelihood that this will be the final season for The Punisher, and I’d love to say that it would serve like a good send off like Daredevil‘s third season was. Unfortunately that’s not quite the case here, as the series flip-flops antagonists’ importance almost on an episode by episode basis. And yet, there are plenty of fantastic moments throughout the season. In contrast to the binge-culture that Netflix has created and cultivated, this season may have benefitted from not being released all at once, where character motivations and plot changes are more noticeable than when you have a week to take it all in. But as it stands right now, The Punisher’s sophomore season set up a lot of interesting ideas, but doesn’t have the time to really dive into them. Yet it’s kept afloat thanks to some solid performances from Ben Barnes and Jon Bernthal, and by showcasing this controversial character in a way that’s not only intelligent, but makes you rethink the character as well.

The 19" rack-mounted rapid prototyping system was the first product over 10 years ago and is still available today. The concept of flexible modules connected by a versatile backplane has matured and proven itself over time. That makes the system still our #1 choice for critical high-power control applications.
The system consists of one or two processor cards (XCP), one communication card (XCC) and up to four interface cards (XCI). The processing of all analog and digital signals is concentrated on the processor cards which are connected via the backplane. The interface cards offer output signal amplification, input signal conditioning and emergency handling features such as safe-torque-off. Additionally, the front panels of the interface cards are easily adaptable to arbitrary power electronic interfaces. Communication cards allow connection to standard interfaces such as CAN or Ethernet.
Based on two Analog Devices' powerful floating-point digital signal processors (DSP) ADSP-21162, the processor card offers more than enough processing power for even demanding control applications. A programmable logic device (FPGA) realizes the real-time signal acquisition and signal generation. As well, local memory, analog and digital I/O and a communication port are available.
The communication card offers access to 100base-T Ethernet. Additionally, a serial port is available which supports RS-485 or RS-422 connections.
The interface cards consist of the module base and a front panel. The module itself offers analog signal adaptation, digital driver and comparators and a pre-configured programmable logic device (CPLD) for error handling. As front panel, several types with standard interfaces for common power modules and -stacks are available to allow a direct connection to the power electronic components via flat ribbon cable.
The XCI2020 interface card is intended for analog outputs and digital encoder input and control output signals. Up to eight analog outputs are available which can be used for control or debug purposes. Two incremental encoder inputs (ABZ) are supported. Up to eight general-purpose digital outputs can be connected to the interface card.
The XCI2030 experimental card allows quick and easy implementations of own additions to the system. A breadboard area is available for own extensions. A programmable logic device (CPLD) is available for custom signal preprocessing or error handling.

Would you like to talk with the young person in your family about making good decisions, including the decision to be tobacco free? This activity will provide you with tools to broach the subject.
To begin, set aside some time to spend together in front of the computer. If possible, limit distractions so your youngster will be better able to focus.
Then, go online together to watch a video.
For kids in grades 5-6: "Skater Boy"
For kids in grades 7: "Surprise Chat"
For kids in grades 8-9: "Geek at the party"
Pause the video when prompted and refer to the talking points on the following screens to engage with your youngster during the pause.
If so, what was the situation? How did you deal with it? How do you feel about how you dealt with it?
If not, have you ever been around a friend when she/he was in an uncomfortable situation like this one? How did your friend deal with it? How do you feel about the way your friend dealt with it?
How do I know I made the right decision?
After talking, click below to continue watching the rest of the video together. When the video ends, ask the follow-up questions.
How do you feel about the decision Benjamin made? Why?
How do you feel about the decision Paul made? Why?
How do you feel about the decision Angela made? Why?
What would you have done if you wanted to talk to someone but your friend didn't want you to?
With your young person, read the "How to Say 'No'" poster.
Then, consider the suggestions on the following screen and try out some or all of them by role-playing 2-3 of the situations.
At a sleep-over party and in front of a group of friends, a good-looking older sibling of the youngster who's having the party asks your child to drink a beer or smoke a cigarette.
After school, an older student who seems cool offers your young person a cigarette.
In a school bathroom, a popular student pressures your young person to write something mean about another student on the wall.
A student everyone seems to like pressures your youngster to start a rumor or post something mean about another student online or via social media.
Wrap up by letting your youngster know that uncomfortable situations can be made a little better by thinking carefully before acting.
Then, ask your young person to tell you when uncomfortable situations occur so you can help him or her figure out how to approach the situations.
Thanks for taking these steps to help your young person make good decisions and be tobacco free!

Studying physics at the Eindhoven University of Applied Physics is not always that exciting as it may seem to the general public. Sometimes, the lectures and homework could not fascinate me 100%. I spend my time doodling the empty gaps in my notebooks.
I've never considered myself to be a very talented artist, but I would be much worse if my classes in high school and university had not been so boring. When I found my old university physics notes interspersed with doodles I decided to take pictures of most of them and store them in the (public) cloud.
You can clearly see my belated puberty acting up. My doodling mind was mainly preoccupied with a wide range of sci-fi, or occult sceneries combined with studies of the female body (I had no girlfriend at the time), silly doodles of ducks, teddy bears, and floppy bunnies.

Scores from around the country.
NWU proved why they’re deserved semi-finalists when they beat Wits at the Fanie du Toit Sports Grounds on Monday. Wits drew first blood but could not add any more points in the first half as NWU rampaged to a 46-3 score at half time.
Tries: Wian Conradie (2), Gideon van der Merwe (2), Chuiner van Rooyen, Pienaar van Niekerk (2), Edmund Rheeder, Johan Retief.
Tries: Daniel Kasende, Justin Brandon. Conversions: Christian Humphries.
Penalties: Christian Humphries. Yellow cards: Keagan Glade, Cal Smid.
The Orange Army took on Shimlas in the final game of the season in wet weather which saw both teams unable to settle in the first quarter. It was Shimlas who scored first though and they continued with some eye-catching rugby and went into the break 23-0. UJ were left playing catch up but were outclassed by a dominant Shimlas side.
Who will be the fourth and final team to reach the FNB Varsity Cup semi-finals? That remained unanswered as UCT secured a vital bonus-point victory over CUT to keep their dreams alive for moving into the knockout stages. A bone-chilling Monday evening at the Green Mile did not deter the home side nor their fans from being a part of a sink-or-swim match for the Ikeys.

An ancient spice is taking root in the New Zealand's Central Otago region, where a family-owned business is responsible for producing some of the world’s best saffron.
From the old goldmining town of Bannockburn, Heart of the Desert Saffron distributes saffron from boutique growers in Central Otago and Canterbury throughout New Zealand, and to US, Australian, Asian and London outlets.
Saffron is the world’s most expensive spice, and New Zealand saffron suits chefs who prefer quality over quantity, says Maurice Watson, owner of Heart of the Desert Saffron.
Kiwi celebrity chef Peter Gordon is a fan, as well as top restaurants and luxury lodges in New Zealand.
New Zealand saffron is a high-end product that’s produced on a small scale, and with a strong focus on quality.
"Iran produces the majority of the saffron in the world - at least 95% which is 220 to 280 tonnes a year. New Zealand’s saffron production is perhaps 10kg a year," Watson says.
Heart of the Desert Saffron has developed a unique kiln drying process that enhances the safranal essential oil content of the saffron threads - so the taste is more distinctive than traditional air-dried spices.
Saffron is an essential ingredient in many traditional dishes worldwide, including Spanish paella, French bouillabaisse, Iranian chelo kabab, Moroccan tajine, and as a condiment for rice in Indian cuisine. The spice is also used medicinally, and to make textile dyes and perfumes.
The spice is extracted from the dried flowers of the autumn crocus, which originated in southwest Asia. When used in cooking, saffron imparts a yellow-orange colour and complexity of flavour to food.
"There are many myths about growing saffron - such as that it came from arid areas and therefore you don’t need to water it much or apply fertiliser. Now I often say, show me a plant that doesn’t like water and fertiliser," says Watson.
Watson says Heart of the Desert saffron is considered some of the best in the world because of its strong, rich and complex aroma.
During harvest time, the Watson family picks about 15,000 crocus flowers each day. It takes about 125g of flowers to make a gram of saffron.
"In New Zealand, saffron growing is a small scale boutique industry. We control every step (except for weather) from planting to sale and it’s based on science, not hearsay or tradition. There is no floral waste in our saffron - we don’t add anything else to the final product," Watson says.
"It is fresh and most Iranian saffron is at least a year old before it gets to the shelves."
Maurice Watson moved his family south to Bannockburn from the northern South Island city of Nelson 14 years ago.
With just "a small footprint of land" of less than one acre, Watson looked for something to grow that would suit Central Otago’s raw continental climate.
"Central Otago has high summer soil temperatures over a long period and there’s minimal rainfall at harvest of Bannockburn," says Watson.
Saffron ticked all the right boxes because it is a plant that likes hot summers but is also able to tolerate frost and snow.
The plant is grown successfully in several New Zealand locations from the deep south - Central Otago and Lorneville, in Southland - to Hawke’s Bay and Hokianga, in the far north of the North Island.
Saffron, which is grown from corms or bulbs, grows well in areas of New Zealand where there are warm summers and winter chill, which is why Central Otago producers do well.
Crocus plants bloom within a two-week window, and must be harvested quickly at dawn before they wilt. Skilled harvesters cut flowers at the base using their fingernails.
Saffron threads are produced by drying the crocus flower stigma. Dried saffron can last for up to two years when stored properly in an airtight container.
Bannockburn is a small town with a colourful history that goes back to Otago’s early goldmining days.
The Central Otago region is now also famous for a different kind of liquid gold - award-winning pinot noir. Vineyards at Bannockburn include the world-renowned Mt Difficulty winery.
The town, with a population of just 126 people, has also retained much of its historical charm. Heritage buildings in the town centre include Bannockburn Hotel, post office, Stewart’s store and several old miners’ cottages.
Nearby Stewart Town, just a short trek away, is a goldmining ghost town with mining cottage ruins and the remains of an old orchard.

It's been 10 years and three -- that's THREE -- (3?!!) -- Red Sox World Series championships since I wrote "The Scarlet Letter."
To the 26-year-old me who watched the otherwise insignificant Aaron Boone knock my dreams out of Yankee Stadium in late 2003, this present version of reality is flat-out unthinkable. In a few ways, really. Let me explain.
Of course, there's the Red Sox. You all know the story, perhaps not as intimately if you're not from around Boston, but you get the gist. Eighty-six years is a long, long time. (Cubs fans have endured even longer, but I'd argue it's worse when you come so close so often.) As a bright-eyed 10-year-old, I watched that ground ball go through Bill Buckner's legs in disbelief, and watched my dad pretty much have a breakdown.
But there's more to it than that. In the fall of 2003, I was unemployed, trying to find love, trying to be a musician … and worried I was failing at all of it. But I lived in walking distance of Fenway Park, and I had plenty of time to catch games. By the time the playoffs rolled around, more than any other year – and I'm a longtime fan -- I was just about clinging to baseball.
When the Red Sox lost that ALCS Game 7, after leading most of the game, my brain, I think, cracked just a little bit. Like a hairline fracture. I wandered down an alley in Allston and sobbed for the better part of an hour. It wasn't just about baseball.
And I became partially convinced that I was destined to turn into that guy. Like, maybe he wasn't even mentally challenged or anything; maybe all that had happened was that he was in a vulnerable place emotionally in October 1975, or 1986, and he just snapped afterward. Seemed plausible enough to me.
We recorded it live at the Cask n' Flagon – the old, dirty one – just before Opening Day. I say we, because it was a group effort: To everyone who was there, who is clapping and hollering and singing along in the recording, I want to thank you so, so much for being part of a great moment in my life.
By the end of 2004, I had fallen in love with the woman I would marry; I had heard my own song played on the radio; and I had watched my Red Sox come back from a 3-0 deficit against the Yankees in the ALCS – in attendance at Games 4 and 5! -- and go on to win the World Series for the first time in my life – and my father's life, and my grandfather's life -- beneath a surreal lunar eclipse of the Hunter's Moon.
So yeah, it was a pretty incredible time.
Sayin (C) hey, hey, (D) hey! I think this is the (G) year!
Goes hey, hey, hey! I think this is the year!
Singin' hey, hey, hey! I think this is the year!

A husband and wife have raised nearly £4,000 for two Tower Hamlets charities after circumnavigating the UK in kayaks.
Natalie Maderova and Michal Madera returned to Shadwell Basin last week after paddling 2,200 miles clockwise around Britain.
Their four-month journey saw the couple, who live on the Isle of Dogs, head for Cornwall, then Wales and Scotland, before coming down England’s east coast.
Most night they slept in a tent on the beach. They had 16 showers along the way while 14 bottles of whisky and hundreds of cups of tea helped keep them warm. They also cooked food cooked over a camp fire.
Natalie said: “The first week was as expected, hard. Then we slowly established a routine. A real break through came once we finished Lyme Bay (between Devon and Dorset).
She said they then sat themselves shorter goals such as making it to Land’s End and began enjoying themselves, the landscape and meeting people.
The money raised will be split between Shadwell Outdoor Activity Centre and treatment for a boy in Bow with brain damage.

What does E85 mean? How does the US mandate ethanol usage?
What is a Plasma Conversion System?
E85 is a mix of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline and it can only be used in flex-fuel vehicles. It cannot be used in conventional engines, but E85 flex-fuel vehicles can run any fuel with 0 to 85% ethanol.
Since 2001, the EPA’s Renewable Fuel Standard has approved the 15% ethanol and 85% gasoline blend (E15) from the previous 10% blend (E10). According to the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, ethanol use will increase to 36 million gallons by 2022 (in 2007 it was 4.7 billion gallons) in the United States. By 2022 of which 60% of it must be ethanol from non-corn based ethanol.
A kilowatt-hour (kWh) is 1000 watts per hour. A watt-hour is usage over time, while a watt is usage at this instant. A 100-watt light bulb will use 0.1 kW per hour, calculated by multiplying the wattage by the number of hours (in this case one) and divided by 1000.
A kilowatt is 1,000 watts, and a megawatt is 1,000,000 watts.
If you only know the amps, you can multiply amps by volts to get the amount of watts in a household appliance.
The plasma conversion system provides a total solution to the problems of waste management. This is a general overview of the plasma conversion system that safely, efficiently and economically destroys wastes, no matter what form, and turns the waste into useful and valuable products. This system can efficiently process waste streams eliminating all waste that is not nuclear.
The plasma system is an electrically driven system which causes the molecular breakdown of matter. The energy that the waste is put under produces chemical decomposition or dissociation on a molecular scale until the waste reaches the level of the basic components (atoms). In doing so, the System protects the environment and helps to improve the public health and safety, vital to the ecosystem, the tourism industry and the local economy.
and other special wastes while converting many of them into useful commodity products that can include metals and a synthesis-gas.
The plasma system melts and recovers metals for the metallurgical industry, and other non-organics such as glass, dirt, rock, resulting in an obsidian-like, glassy silicate compound.
The following figures show how the plasma conversion system works through the different steps starting with figure 1.
2. Produce green non-dollar generated electricity.
3. Provide employment opportunities and training of local populace in new technical skills.
4. Closed-loop elemental recycling system processes wastes safely and economically in non-combustion, no smoke stack process without producing harmful, noxious emissions, effluents or residues.
5. Recycles wastes into marketable commodities such as materials for building and highway constructions. Materials previously regarded as waste are recycled and processed as feedstock to produce these commodities.
6. Improves public health and safety.
· Reduction of indiscriminate burning of waste.
· Reduction and elimination of untreated and non-sealed landfills thereby and will not produce the harm that arises from incinerators and landfills.
· Potential Reduction and elimination of endemic diseases such as Dengue fever and malaria that arise from mosquito breeding sources in landfills.
7. Greatly reduces cost and risks associated with waste generation producing positive cash flow and profits.
8. Meets and exceeds all U.S. EPA emission standards.
9. Systems are scalable, and can be used to just a few tones to hundreds of tons per day based on available feedstock.
10. System can be located adjacent to existing landfill.
11. Volumetric waste reduction for most solid wastes is approximately 300 to 1.
12. Combined Energy Efficiency (energy input versus output) is greater than 85%.
13. Recycling of landfills would reduce discharge of contaminants into the atmosphere and groundwater, such as carbon dioxide, sulphides, and pesticides.
14. Mining of existing landfill sites until fully emptied and reclamation of landfill sites producing green usage space.
15. Can operate continuously without many of the difficulties and costs that arise in other technologies when operated in the same manner.
16. Because the System is inherently safe, being electrically driven, unlike incinerators, its operation can be stopped immediately by shutting off the electricity.
17. The system is computer controlled, easy to use and operates at normal atmospheric pressure, very safely and quietly.
Plasma gasification has several byproducts that can be used as raw materials to create other products. The plasma system results in an ash while some other gasification processes create slag.
Slag is about 20% of the weight of the original waste and about 5% of the original volume. Depending on the system used slag takes different forms (air or water cooling systems). Slag comes out in a liquid form and one of the possible uses of slag is that it can be funneled into molds and used in construction material.
In the byproducts of the plasma systems any hazardous materials that had once been part of the system are inert and the materials are in no danger of dissolving out. Thus the materials are safe for the environment and the health of those that will have exposure to them.

A new year is almost here, that means a New Year's resolution. It's time to (try to) stick to a New Year's resolution, once and for all. Setting a New Year's resolution is one thing, but following through on your promise to yourself is the real challenge. If you've promised yourself that you're going to create a healthy home cleaning schedule for 2012 as your New Year's Resolution, The Maids are happy to help you stick to your home cleaning plan.
Healthy home cleaning is a New Year's resolution you can follow through on! Sometimes New Year's Resolutions like this one could be harder than you expected. That is why we decided to share month-by-month tips on accomplishing this New Year's resolution.
One way on accomplishing such a resolution is through a continuos storage project. A storage project can be a great way to keep your goal in sight.
The following article from BHG.com will make your New Year's resolution for a clean home possible, and a whole lot easier than you ever thought home cleaning could be. It gives great tips on monthly storage projects.Follow this home cleaning checklist each month for a simple and efficient way to stick to your New Year's resolution for a healthy and clean home in 2012!
A complete overhaul of your home's storage system may sound overwhelming, but focusing on improving the storage in just one room each month can get you the storage you want in a quick but manageable time frame.
We've provided you with quick and easy mini projects to do throughout the month, each month. Combine the projects into one weekend or do one project each week of the month.
Create a Mail Station. Set up mailboxes on a desk, wall, or bulletin board. Or give each member of your family his or her own labeled box, bin, or slot.
Stay on Schedule. Hang a large monthly calendar in a spot everyone can see and use it. Choose a paper calendar or dry-erase version, and encourage everyone to write important events, deadlines, and reminders.
Organize Office Supplies. Outfit a desk drawer near your main working area with a divided tray or multiple small bins. Limit the number of office supplies in each compartment. Label each compartment with an adhesive label.
Get Rid of Junk. Test all writing utensils. Toss everything that doesn't work perfectly. Group similar items (pens, pencils, markers, etc) in canisters for easy access.
Sort and Label. Evaluate all pantry items. Toss everything that's expired and give away everything you didn't use in the last year. (Write today's date on every item so you'll know next year if you actually used each item.) Put items back in pantry and label shelves.
Outfit a Drawer. Double the storage capacity inside a cabinet by adding freestanding wire shelves. Measure your cabinet interiors before heading to the home center or choose expandable shelves. Include riser-style inserts for small items such as spices or glassware.
Utilize Cabinet Doors. Evaluate the interior of every cabinet door and determine whether you can use the space to store spices, loose recipes, paper towels, or utensils. Add shallow shelves, racks, wall-mount pouches, and magnetic or cork boards.
Add Hooks. Install a utensil bar or metal grid above or beside your stove. Dangle five to eight frequently used utensils from S-hooks. Include a small wire basket to hold salt, pepper, cooking spray, and oil.
Personal Storage Bin. Give every family member a spot to stash personal items. Fill a bookcase with similar baskets or bins and label containers with each person's name. Establish a house rule to put away books, magazines, toys, and projects every night.
Multifunctional Storage. Overhaul your occasional tables. Replace tables and traditional ottomans with small chests and storage cubes. Add baskets to open spaces. Skirt tables and stash items underneath.
Don't Overdo with Collectibles. Edit a collection to 12 or a fewer outstanding items. Display on a single shelf for maximum impact. Store other items in the collection in one location. Introduce three or four new items--and remove and store the same number--every season.
Create a Space for Entertainment Supplies. Designate one easily accessible drawer for entertaining supplies. Fill the drawer with coasters, napkins, and snack bowls or plates. Include a basket of favorite snacks, a roll of paper towels, and a mini trash receptacle.
Sorting Baskets. Place a three-compartment bin or basket (look at home or office supply stores for options) in a closet or on an open shelf in your laundry room. Use it to separate out clothing to be repaired, dry-cleaned, and donated.
Keep Detergent Handy. Fill plastic beverage dispensers with laundry detergent, softener, and other liquid laundry additives. Hang a set of plastic measuring cups nearby from a cup hook.
Drying Rack. Mount a drying rack or double towel bar near your washer as a spot for air-drying clean sweaters or rugs.
Make a Catch-all for Ironing Supplies. Convert a silverware caddy into a stain-treating or ironing kit. Fill with small size cleaners, spray starches, and linen waters. Be sure to include essential tools such as brushes, dry-cleaning pads, and collar points.
Create Task Kits. Create kits for various outdoors projects by filling 5- and 10-gallon plastic buckets with all the tools, products, and accessories you need to complete specific tasks such as car-washing, weeding, bicycle repair, and more.
Stash Sporting Gear. Fill tall kitchen trash cans with large and odd-shaped sporting gear. Drill holes in the bottom of bins if drainage is important. Stabilize containers by securing to a wall with short bungee cords.
Organize the Trunk. Clean out your vehicle's trunk. Toss every item that is expired or damaged. Place all trunk gear in a canvas bin or box. Make sure the container doesn't slip by adding rubber or hook-and-loop tape to the bottom.
Tidy Up the Tools. Hang hand tools on a wall near your workbench from hooks on pegboard, magnetic board, or a wall-mount strip system. Label each tool's spot. Put extra tools in a tool box or clear plastic boxes and store on floor underneath workbench.
Hooks for All Heights. Mount two strips of hooks or pegs to the back of a child's door -- one about 3 feet from the floor, the other between 5 and 6 feet. Two levels of hooks allow kids to grow and provide more spots for shorter items such as jackets, towels, and bags.
See-Through Toy Storage. Skip the toy box and stash playthings in large clear containers. Line up against the wall, under windows. Top with a cushion for bench seating.
Keep Books Handy. Fill open boxes with children's books based on size and shape. (Kids' books always slide around on bookshelves anyway.) Keep a box near a child's bed for favorite bedtime reading.
Kid-Friendly Closet. Replace the low hanging-bar section of a child's closet with stackable, ready-to-assemble drawers or cubbies -- or slide in a small chest or bookcase. Fill with folded clothes and other gear.
Clean Out Clutter. Test all the craft supplies you own, including paints, markers, and glues. Do the same with tools such as scissors, staplers, and punches. Toss everything that doesn't work. Put similar items in clear plastic containers with handles.
Storage for Small Gear. Hang a clear vinyl shoe bag inside a closet or behind a door. Slip small parts, supplies, and tools into the pouches.
Hang Fabric. Drape fabric scraps and swatches over rubber-coated hangers intended for multiple pairs of pants. Hang from hooks on the back of a door.
Organize Ideas. Purchase eight to 10 sturdy letter boxes and fill with inspirational materials from books, magazines, photographs, and online searching. Organize and label boxes by topic, source, or project. Stack near a chair or desk and use an extra counter, end table, or resting spot.
Store Only What You Need. Evaluate all bath linens and keep only a two week's supply for every family member. If you have guest linens, keep them separate from everyday linens. Give away unused linens--or mark as rags with a permanent marker and store appropriately.
Non-skid Baskets. Add rubber feet to the bottom of a plastic basket and fill with bath supplies. Rest basket on tub ledge or in corner to ensure bottles stay in place.
Make Good Use of Cabinet Space. Arrange medicines, beauty, and hair products on lazy Susans to avoid forgetting about items pushed toward the back of the cabinet. Look for two and three-tiered versions to pack in more function.
Hide-away Makeup Caddy. Fill a metal or plastic desktop organizer with makeup, brushes, pencils, and other beauty essentials. Store the entire organizer under the sink when not in use.
Spot Unused Items. Arrange all clothes hangers with hooks facing out. Whenever you put away newly laundered items, arrange so the hangers point in. At the end of the season, give away everything on facing-out hangers because you didn't wear it.
Stacking Storage. Turn milk crates on their sides, stack, and fill with folded items divided by style or garment type. Rearrange crate placement based on season.
Workout Gear. Dangle two canvas bags from hooks on the back of your closet door. Fill one with clean, rolled up work-out clothes and other with paired athletic socks.
Organize Accessories. Stash scarves, hats, and other lesser-worn accessories in a stack of clear shoebox-size containers. Look for containers that click together and feature handles for easy transport.
Control the Cords. Label both ends of every cord behind your entertainment center with a tag or sticker. Bundle up excess cord length with a rubber band or hook-and-loop ties.
Easy-access Discs. Set an attractive bowl (cereal-size works fine) on top of a DVD player and stereo. Place your CD and DVD favorites in the bowl.
Hide the Gaming System. Drill holes in the bottom of a storage ottoman and house a gaming system and all accessories inside. Run cords through the bottom of the ottoman and leave a few holes empty to allow for ventilation.
Label Chargers. Use permanent marker or stickers to label every charger you own. Store all chargers in one bath caddy with a handle.
Wrinkle-free Linens. Iron all table cloths and drape over padded hangers. Place coordinating napkins in gallon-size plastic bags and clip to hanger with clothespins.
Hanging Glassware Storage. Install top-mount glassware racks in a cabinet or china hutch. Arrange glassware by type and size.
Corral Disposables. Fill one compartment of a serving buffet with paper party supplies. Use letter holders to organize plates by size and style and mugs to corral plastic cutlery.
Stash Platters. Place larger platters in oversize plastic bags and slip between appliances or behind a hutch.
Family Drop Spot. Use a tabletop serving set as a drop spot for keys, change, wallets, and personal devices. Give family members their own bowls or sections.
Stash Away Entry Rugs. Roll up extra rugs, mats, and towels and place in a wood-carrying basket near the door.
Hanging Outdoor Gear. Hang a multi-compartment canvas shoe or sweater shelf from a closet hang bar. Fill spaces with hats, gloves, pet gear, and purses.
Personalized Coat Rack. Hang a coat rack with enough hooks for each family member to have his or her own and label it with each family member's name.
If your family has made a promise to do a better job with the household cleaning chores, it's time to put them to work for you! Achieving your cleaning goal for the new year is a lot easier if you have more than one person (you) dedicated to the monthly home cleaning checklist. See how you can get the kids to be part of your home cleaning team. Following the home cleaning schedule above, combined with an army of cleaning warriors, will help you actually stick to your New Year's resolution this year.
Create a cleaning chart. Break down household cleaning responsibilities: list the cleaning chore itself, the person who will tackle that cleaning project, and the date of completion. You can organize the cleaning chart by day, week or month.
Evaluate your home. Before you begin any home cleaning or home organization chores, make sure there's a place for everything. You may need to declutter your home and get rid of unused items before you go about your home cleaning.
Complete the cleaning checklist items on time. Create incentives and reward everyone (including yourself) for every completed cleaning project. Put on music or make a game out of it -- if cleaning is fun, more will get done!
Motivate yourself. Any New Year's resolution can be tough to commit to, especially if you're committing to home cleaning for the year. Motivate yourself for home cleaning by inviting a friend over or talking to someone on the phone while you clean.
Consider a house cleaning budget. You can save money on cleaning products by using common household items, reusing cleaning products or making your own green cleaning products.
Organize your cleaning. Keeping all of your cleaning supplies in the same, easily accessible location will speed up the cleaning process. Start cleaning in your least-favorite room to get it out of the way first. This way you can work towards a more enjoyable cleaning task with each room you complete.
Following all of the home cleaning tips will help you get on the right track in 2012 and actually stick to your New Year's resolution for a cleaner home! These storage projects can really help. Follow each of the monthly storage projects to keep up with your New Year's vision.

Reaction to President Bush’s nomination of Idaho Gov. Dirk Kempthorne as the 49th Secretary of the Interior has been swift and positive from Washington, D.C. Idaho’s Congressional delegates enthusiastically endorse his nomination.
Seven of Idaho’s renowned scenic byways will be enhanced by the infusion of nearly $1 million from the Federal Highway Administration as part of funding announced recently by U.s. Transportation Secretary Norman Y. Mineta. Idaho’s seven project grants are part of FHWA’s National Scenic Byways Program, which recognized and enhances selected highway routes based on their archaeological, cultural, historic, natural, recreational or scenic qualities.
ITD’s Bicycle Coordinator, the ACHD Bicycle Advisory Committee, and several cycling advocates around the state collaboratively revised and customized a general bicycle safety manual, “Bicycling Street Smarts,” published by Bicycling Magazine and Rodale, Inc. Idaho Bicycling Street Smarts is now available to bicycle riders throughout Idaho.
Greg Munden, a 29-year veteran of the Idaho Transportation Department, was named the Maintenance Person of the Year and honored with a plaque during the semiannual employee service awards ceremony in Boise this week.
ITD and the Division of Highways departed from tradition when considering an appropriate recipient of the 2005 Safety Person of the Year award. Reflecting the level of commitment required to make the District 6 safety program so successful, the department settled not on a “safety person” but on a cadre of 10 individuals who collectively deserved the honor.
The Idaho Transportation Board focused its attention on 74 individuals who reached new milestones in their careers at the transportation department when it met Thursday in Boise. Among the honored employees were two individuals – Sherwin Beaman and Milford Miller – who have logged more than 40 years with the department.
Seven ITD employees who brought long and distinguished careers to a close in the last half of 2005 (July through December) were honored Thursday during the semiannual service awards ceremony at Headquarters in Boise Combined, they represented nearly two centuries (197 years) of experience, wisdom and service.
Most people spend the first two years of life learning how to talk and the remainder of their lives striving to do it better. Ranked near the top of nearly everyone’s list of most intimidating, stressful endeavors is public speaking. Yet, even during the age of electronic communication, there has never been a time when speaking – articulate, persuasive speaking – carries greater importance.
Transportation officials from throughout the western U.S. will meet in Boise March 27-30 for the annual WASHTO (Western Association of State Highway Transportation Officials) conference, hosted by the Idaho Transportation Department.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan had a fair start in China as it grossed $1 million till 3PM in China. so the film should be able to finish around $2 million or a little higher by the end of the day. The opening is nothing like Secret Superstar or Dangal but that is because Aamir Khan has a built a huge following in China.
The Chinese distributors even promoted the film through some video that showed Aamir Khan crying after the screening of Bajrangi Bhaijaan when it released in India so that the film gained traction among the audience.
The release of the film is pretty wide though nothing like Secret Superstar but still its a $5-6 million investment by the Chinese distributors so it will need around $11-12 million before any return comes to the makers of the film.

Reading boss Paul Clement said he was satisfied with a point following the 0-0 draw with Wigan Athletic.
The result extends Royals' unbeaten run to three matches but they remain in relegation trouble in the league table.
Here is what the manager had to say post match.
It was a committed performance. We tried to win the game. It was a hard fought game and a good 0-0.
There was lots of action going on and at times we looked better than them and vice versa so it ebbed and flowed.
Based on our season and how we've been doing and how we've been defending you have to say it's a positive.
We've come away from home and kept only our second clean sheet of the season. And we could quite easily have nicked it because we finished the game strongly so it was probably a fair result.
We changed it a bit and the players responded well. At times we saw the best of it and how it can hurt a team, particularly when they are 4-4-2, but we also saw the weaknesses of it.
They were getting too many crosses in and looked dangerous at set-plays.
The referee made a big call on the goal which was disallowed. It was an easy one for the officials to miss but they got it right.
If we had somebody on the post in that situation then he wouldn't have been offside. It was a big call but the right one.
It was a really hard fought game and I can't have any complaint about the commitment of the players.
He deserved an opportunity just from his professionalism and how he's got his head down and continued to work.
The same with Gunter and I thought the system suited those players. But all the subs did well when they came on. They were focused and they made us better because they were fresh and concentrated.
He has a hamstring issue - it's not serious. It might go to three games but hopefully it'll only be two.
He is running already so hopefully it'll be a quick turnaround.
Mo Barrow is very doubtful for Tuesday at Leeds.
We would have been really disappointed if we had lost the game. We didn't win so we won't get too excited.
We'll train on Sunday morning and Monday and then focus on the next game.
I do have options - you only need to look at the bench to see any of them could have been in the starting side.
That's what I now have to consider going into the next game.
I thought the midfield did well. They did what I asked them to do on the tactical side.
It was harsh Rinomhota came off in the last game but I had to change the shape. I spoke to Leandro and he has played a lot of games recently and been ever present with the national team.
The travel has an impact so I said we have another important game on Tuesday and we need you to be fresh for that. He could easily have come on.
We want to try and win every game. If you don't win then don't lose. That's even more beneficial away from home.
It's a satisfactory record and it's better than runs in previous months.
He's deservedly got his chance based on what he's done with the U23s and the way he's trained. When he went on he understood absolutely what he needed to do.
He looked comfortable, showed his quality and he's an exciting prospect for the future of the club.
We'll give him all the help we can to try and develop him and it'll be down to him to take that opportunity. If he's good enough and takes his chances then he'll be ready to start games.
He is a good player and has been training with us.
He's a good prospect. I could have brought a couple of older players like Ryan East but it's better for him to play so he did last night.
But we brought Conor so it's not a shock to him when he does step up. He can smell the dressing room and can be involved so he's good to have around.

Electric drive systems with a range of 100, 200 and well over 400 kilometres.
BlueZERO design: both elegant and functional.
The compact rear end of the Concept BlueZERO is characterised by tail lights in the shape of a curved "L". In addition, the Mercedes designers have achieved a new-quality light production: transparent lenses produce a red light curtain which tapers smoothly towards the sides, creating a lightly diffused effect. This effect is repeated, albeit in white this time, by the front headlamps. What's more, the front lights feature new lens technology and a plexiglas edge to produce "C" shaped daytime driving lights with the help of state-of-the-art LED technology.
The Mercedes-Benz designers have emphasised this aspiration by introducing paint finishes in three new ALU-BEAM colours. Each of the three variants makes its individual mark: the BlueZERO E-CELL is painted in a fresh lime green, while the BlueZERO F-CELL has mint green paintwork. Confidence-oozing orange was chosen for the BlueZERO E-CELL PLUS.
