Prevent email from being marked as spam in Office 365 and Exchange Online Protection
Exchange Online or Exchange Online Protection (EOP) administrators with the appropriate access credentials can use these steps to help ensure that an email message traveling through the service isn't marked as spam.
It can be frustrating to have legitimate, good email quarantined or blocked as spam and landing in a quarantine folder. You can use a safe sender list or a mail flow rule to bypass spam filtering and prevent good email messages from getting marked as junk mail. When a message is incorrectly marked as spam by the spam filter, it's called a false positive. The Office 365 spam filter also provides some options that end users can customize in order to help prevent false positives.
If you're looking for help with false negative mail, that is, a spam message that gets through when it shouldn't, check out the tips in Block email spam with the Office 365 spam filter to prevent false negative issues.
EOP-only customers: use directory synchronization
EOP is a cloud-based email filtering service that helps protect your organization against spam and malware. If you have mailboxes in Office 365, they are automatically protected by EOP since it is part of the service.
If you're an EOP-only customer, that is, you subscribe to the EOP service for use with your on-premises Exchange Server, you should sync user settings with the service by using directory synchronization. Doing this ensures that your safe senders lists are respected by EOP. For more information, see "Use directory synchronization to manage mail users" in Manage Mail Users in EOP.
Prevent false positive email by using the connection filter's IP allow list
If you find that a sender's email is always moved to the Junk folders in your organization, you can add the email sender's IP address to your connection filter's IP allow list. Normally, this prevents false positive responses for this sender for all recipients within your organization. The exception is when a user enables the option "Safe Lists Only: Only mail from people or domains on your Safe Senders list or Safe Recipients List will be delivered to your Inbox" in Outlook and does not add that sender to the Safe Sender List. For information on overriding that option, see Troubleshooting: A message ends up in the Junk folder even though EOP marked the message as non-spam.
To add an IP address to your connection filter's IP allow list
Obtain the header from a message sent by the sender that you want to allow. You can do this from your mail client such as Outlook or Outlook on the Web, as described in Message Header Analyzer.
Manually search for the IP address following the CIP tag in the X-Forefront-Antispam-Report header or by using the Message Analyzer tab of the Remote Connectivity Analyzer.
Add the IP address to the IP allow list by following the steps in "Use the EAC to edit the default connection filter policy" in Configure the connection filter policy.
Prevent false positive email by configuring spam filter policies
You can add domains or individual email addresses to an allow list by following the steps in Configure your spam filter policies.
Review your advanced spam filter policies
If you have special restrictions set up in a spam filter policy, for example, if you have blocked an entire domain, you should review them to check if they may be causing false positives. See Configure your spam filter policies, and turn off additional Advanced spam filtering options that might cause messages to be marked as spam.
Help your end users create a safe sender list to prevent good email from being marked as spam
Tell your users to add addresses from senders that they trust to their safe sender list in Outlook or Outlook on the Web. To get started in Outlook on the Web, choose Settings > Options > Block or allow. The following diagram shows an example of adding something to a safe sender list.
EOP will honor your users' Safe Senders and Recipients, but not Safe Domains. This is true regardless of whether the domain is added through the Outlook on the Web, or added in Outlook and synchronized using Directory Sync.
Troubleshooting: A message ends up in the Junk folder even though EOP marked the message as non-spam
If your users have the option in Outlook enabled for "Safe Lists Only: Only mail from people or domains on your Safe Senders list or Safe Recipients List will be delivered to your Inbox", then all email will go to the junk folder for a sender unless the sender is on the recipient's Safe Sender list. This will happen regardless of whether EOP marks a message as non-spam, or if you have set up a rule in EOP to mark a message as non-spam.
You can disable the Safe Lists Only option for your Outlook users by following the instructions in Outlook: Policy setting to disable the Junk E-mail UI and filtering mechanism.
If you view the message in Outlook on the Web, there will be a yellow safety tip that indicates that the message is in the Junk folder because the sender is not on the recipient's Safe Senders list.
If you look at the header of a message, it may include the stamp SFV:SKN (IP Allow or ETR Allow) or SFV:NSPM (non-spam), but the message is still placed in the user's junk folder. There is nothing in the message header that indicates that the user has "Safe Lists Only" enabled. This happens because the "Safe Lists Only" option set by users in Outlook overrides the EOP setting.
To verify why a message from a safe sender is marked as non-spam in the message header, but still ends up in the user's Junk folder
To learn how to connect to Exchange Online PowerShell, see Connect to Exchange Online PowerShell.
Run the following command to view the user's junk email configuration settings:
Get-MailboxJunkEmailConfiguration email@example.com | fl TrustedListsOnly,ContactsTrusted,TrustedSendersAndDomains
If TrustedListsOnly is set to True, it means that this setting is enabled. If ContactsTrusted is set to True, it means that the user trusts both Contacts and Safe Senders. The TrustedSendersAndDomains lists the contents of the user's Safe Senders list.

MACON, Ga. - The Lipscomb men's tennis team downed Mercer in a 4-3 decision in the Atlantic Sun Conference opener on Friday afternoon at the LeRoy Peddy Tennis Center.
Daniel Hernandez clinched the match for Lipscomb after his opponent Manuel De Luis retired at 6-4, 4-6.

"It was great experience and I felt good on court playing solid tennis."
Lipscomb lost at No. 1 and No. 6 in singles.

"I played pretty good on singles," said Cortez. "Today was total team effort, awesome come back that completely showed we are still alive."
"From top to bottom, coaches, the energy levels were unbelievable. At the end it showed our strength. We are a full line up."
"We are pretty pumped for this win," said Tierney. "I got my rhythm back because of the support and belief of my teammates."
"We have been through so much this year that everyone rallied around one another after we went 3-0."
"We all raised our level of play and as soon as someone finished their match they started getting loud for everyone else."
It was an all around team effort; the team is thrilled with this victory and start to conference season.

How durable are the caution surfboards? Mine is starting to develop a lot small cracks in various places after four Waddell sessions. I am only 150lbs, but I am definitely not the smoothest rider out there. Yesterday during the session the tail section got a pretty decent crack. My guess is that this happened when the board and I got separated, and the board caught a wave or two towards the shore. I have used a surf repair shop in SC, and they were pretty good. The only downside is that it is a 40 mi drive for me. Has anybody tried this kit to fix boards like the tresspass? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004BF ... g=surfe-20
Also, can the foam core of this board absorb water if the crack goes all the way through fiberglass to the core?

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
The Israeli army on Wednesday wrapped up two days of massive ground exercises simulating the invasion of the Gaza Strip and the suppression of Hamas rocket fire.
The exercises focused on directing overwhelming firepower against the sources of terrorist rocket fire, while at the same time advancing ground forces deep into Gaza.
Gaza-based terrorists fired a rocket at the southern Israel coastal city of Ashkelon on Tuesday night. Similar attacks of taken place with greater frequency over the past few weeks, and some Israeli officials believe Hamas is preparing for its next major showdown with the Jewish state.
In the last "Gaza war" in November 2012, Israel was compelled by massive international pressure to halt its counter-assault prematurely, and Hamas subsequently declared victory and grew stronger.
It would appear that next time, Israel is determined to hit hard and fast before the world can come to Hamas' aid.
In related news, the Israel Air Force (IAF) is in the midst of its largest-ever joint exercise with foreign air forces.
Over 60 aircraft from Israel, the US, Italy and Greece are taking part in the exercise from the Ovda airbase in southern Israel. IAF officials said the exercise is not focused on any particular threat, though many saw the timing of the event as a warning to Iran.

The Jay Jay Guy needed a new t-shirt design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 36 designs submitted by 10 freelance designers.
If "paying it forward" rings true, we need you. Someone WILL win.
Each year, families from two Dallas area schools meet in west Dallas on eight consecutive Saturdays to build a home, start-to-finish, for a family who otherwise wouldn't have one. This annual Habitat for Humanity tradition began 4 years ago and has grown to involve and impact hundreds of families. Everyone wins - the kids, their parents, the schools, the families who receive each home, and the greater Dallas community. Kids and their parents build side-by-side in communities they'd never otherwise visit.
You can be inspired and read all about this project at http://www.FamilyBuild.org!
We need an awesome design to promote this project! The TARGET audience who'll be wearing these shirts are high school kids, but they'll also be worn by parents & teachers. Above all, we want these t-shirts to be something that both girls and boys will WANT to wear. They are so proud of this incredible project and they want to spread the word.
This design is for a short sleeve t-shirt. Please use no more than 4 spot colors (no 4-color process, please).
I've uploaded a PDF file with the images of actual homes and floor plans we build. PLEASE USE THESE IMAGES IN YOUR DESIGN. You can remove some of the detail to make them more simple (siding or bricks, etc) if you'd like, and don't pay attention to the colors. Use whatever colors you'd like. Please use an image of the FRONT of the house on the FRONT PANEL of the t-shirt, and the FLOOR PLAN on the BACK PANEL of the t-shirt.
The following words must be included in the primary design on the FRONT of the t-shirt:
2012 St. Mark's and Hockaday
We also need to give credit on the t-shirt to 7 families for financially sponsoring each home. These names should clearly be secondary in the design, but they need to be worked into the BACK of the t-shirt:
Michel (John '10, Elizabeth '15)
Hicks (William '10, Catherine '12)
Watumull (Connor '10, Garrett '12)
Winston (Haley '13)
Your Name (Name '13, Name '13)
Your Name (Name '14, Name '14)
Your Name (Name '15, Name '15)
And it might be cool to put the sponsor names INSIDE the floor plan, listed in each room! For example, in the actual floor plan, instead of saying "Living Room" you could list "Michel (John '10, Elizabeth '15)", and so on.
Somewhere in the design, on the front or back, you might also want to insert the phrase "Paying it Forward" ... stylized, secondary messaging.
Be sure to specify your recommended t-shirt color and display your design on that color.
And as a special bonus, we'll also send a few finished t-shirts to the winner of this design contest so that you'll see the finished product!

Whoa! Since August, huh?
Well, the good news is, I finished the first draft. The bad news is...that thing is a mess! It's disjointed, it doesn't flow, and in some places, just plain doesn't jive. I'm thinking now that it just doesn't pay to try to rush something just to get it done. Yes, I had the story all outlined and I was doing only plot and dialogue, so there was going to be a second draft anyway. But I blew through it so fast that it's bound to almost be like writing from scratch just to correct it.
I have issues with characters and their backgrounds and storylines. As with any story and outline (at least in my case), it can change as you get into the story. That's fine, but I kept changing things as a result of the story, but saying I would rectify the character later. Well, I did this a lot. So now...it's a mess.
So, I started school. I'm back in grad school finishing up my MBA degree. If I stay on course, I'll be done at the end of August. With the first class, I had to get used to the scheduling. I swear I was doing 20 - 25 hours of school work EVERY week. We had a paper due every single weekend and team project due of a couple of them. I'm in my second class now and I have a better feel for things, so now I'm working my writing back into the schedule. It's going to go a lot slower now, but it looks like that might be best.

Cherlyn, congrats on pursuing your MBA. Sorry you're having to do a lot of revamping on the manuscript--unfortunately that sometimes happens...but when it does, the outcome is so much better than the first effort.
- Cherlyn Michaels Wed Nov 26, 08:30:00 AM EST
Thanks Shelia. And yes, I don't ever want to turn in anything just to hurry to try to get it published. What we write is a reflection of us. I'd rather take my time to make sure it's as good as I can make it. I have no doubt that the outcome will be better than the first effort. Thanks Sis!

At least you have a first draft! Congrats!

Hey Dom! Yes, you're right. At least I have a first draft. Now got to do surgery on it. :-)

Referring back to the color wheel is the big secret. The trick to mixing pretty colors is to dull them slightly. Meaning, if you want to make a pretty blue, you need to add its complimentary color, orange. Because I like to keep my spice drawer simple, I just add some red and yellow (equals orange). It might not sound so simple, but I've illustrated some of my favorite icing colors below.
You can use food coloring from the grocery store to make most of these colors - they are just a bit more diluted than the rich gel colors (that I'm currently sold out of - sorry! bad timing). I do still have some of the cookie cutters left, so you can make all of these beautiful cookies at home for Easter.
Copper Cookie Cutters for Spring
I'll be posting a new sugar cookie and icing recipe later this week along with some packaging just for Easter. Many of you have requested them, so I am doing a couple of Easter Tags & Cards that will put in the store on the site Friday... along with some new ribbon you'll love.
Here is a link to my classic Sugar Cookie Recipe & Royal Icing Recipe that are shown in the cookies below.
This cookie was made with my Copper Bird Cookie Cutter, found here.
A robin's egg blue is a little more saturated, so add more blue and a touch more yellow to bring out the green/blue tone.
These were made with my Egg Copper Cutter.
These were made with my Egg Copper Cutter.
Brown is easier than it sounds. It can be tricky, but I found that adding more yellow gives me the chocolate, warm brown that I like. Don't add too much black, or it will dull the brown.
By warming up the bright yellow with a touch of red, you can create a more subtle looking yellow.
You might be surprised to learn that even my pink has a touch of yellow. I tend to like creamier pinks that have those warm undertones.
I rarely just use black to highlight the cookies (with legs and eyes), but it is usually a dark grey. Without tinting the grey slightly, it can end up with a blue undertone. So to offset that, add a touch of yellow and red.
Easter Tags & Place Cards
Every season I design a new set of Tags to attach to treats, and Folded Cards to use as Place Cards or Gift Cards. This time, I created two sets - one with a classic bunny and one with this very sweet lamb, both in a "pen and ink" vintage style.
Bunny "Hippity Hoppity"
Easter is always a very colorful holiday, so I like to use more subtle colors (like this graphite grey for the bunny) for tags and cards to make any treat or gift look beautiful. These Bunny Cards come in both Tags & Folded Cards.
My collection of Spring Copper Cutters come with a printed card of my cookie recipe and tied with an Everyday Occasions logo ribbon - a great gift.
Bunny Copper Cutter
Chick Copper Cutter
Bird Copper Cutter
Egg Copper Cutter
I just signed up to bring dessert for our Church Easter Egg Hunt this weekend, so it looks like all of the cookies I'll be making will be needed! Hope you all are having a good week.

Savannah-Chatham police Thursday were investigating a fatal shooing that involved a suspect in the robbery of a southside business.
Police found the man suffering from a gunshot wound in the back seat of a black pickup truck that had crashed into a home near the intersection of 46th and Harmon Streets, said Julian Miller, police spokesman. The man, whose identity was withheld pending next of kin notification, was transported to Memorial University Medical Center where he was declared dead.
That truck, Miller said, matched the description of the vehicle two suspects used to flee after robbing the Coastal Gold Exchange in the 200 block of Eisenhower Drive. That robbery involved gunshots during an alleged confrontation between a store employee and the unidentified man.
Police apprehended the driver of the truck after a short foot chase in the area, Miller said.
Savannah-Chatham police violent crimes detectives are continuing to investigate. Anyone with information is asked to call Crimestoppers at at (912) 234-2020 or text CRIMES (274637). In the body type, include "CStop2020" plus the tip. Tipsters remain anonymous and may qualify for a cash reward.

Yanira Maldonado, who was charged with smuggling drugs in Mexico, is reuniting with her family after a week in jail. She was released shortly before midnight. NBC's Miguel Almaguer reports.
Yanira Maldonado, the Arizona mother freed after nine days in a Mexican jail on a mistaken drug charge, said Friday that she got through the ordeal by reading scripture with other inmates and thinking of her family.
Beaming after her release, she told reporters: "I'm free. I'm free. I'm free. I was innocent."
Maldonado, 42, was in Mexico with her husband for a funeral and was detained May 22 after soldiers found 12 pounds of marijuana taped under her seat on a bus that she was taking back to the United States.
She was released late Thursday after court officials reviewed security footage that showed the couple boarding the bus carrying only blankets, bottles of water and her purse.
Maldonado walked out of the jail and into the arms of her husband, Gary, and was driven back to the United States. She said that she would return to Mexico, but not for some time.
She described her time in jail as "very sad" but said she had been treated respectfully. Maldonado, a Mormon, said that she found a copy of the Book of Mormon in jail and read it and prayed with the other inmates.
"My faith and my family kept me going," she said.
Maldonado, a mother of seven, was born in Mexico and is a naturalized American citizen. She stressed to reporters at a press conference in Nogales, Ariz., that the mistake was the fault of "a few people," not the country. With a shrug, she said that she had just sat in the wrong seat.
"I love Mexico. My family is still there," she said. "Mexico is a beautiful country. Please don't take it wrong."
She said that she needed to rest and was looking forward to seeing her children: "They can't wait to see me."
Maldonado and her family had proclaimed her innocence ahead of her release.
"I just want to be back home right now with my family, my kids and my husband,'' Maldonado told Miguel Almaguer in an interview that aired Thursday morning on TODAY.
"I wanted to find a way out, and I'm telling them I'm innocent, I'm innocent. I keep saying what happened, and I'm still here, so I just have faith in the Lord."
As Arizona mom of seven Yanira Maldonado's court hearing on drug smuggling charges begins in Nogales, Mexico, she is speaking out for the first time, saying her "spirit is good," but she just wants "to go home." NBC's Miguel Almaguer reports.
Maldonado and her husband were married a year ago. She said before her release that she believed she may have been set up at the military checkpoint, where soldiers initially accused her husband of smuggling the marijuana before detaining her instead.
Soldiers staffing a checkpoint stopped the bus in Hermosillo, about 170 miles from the U.S. border.

I know in the EO, the incense we use changes week to week depending on the season/feast/priest's preferance.
Our incense is compounded of fragrant oils and a base of pure ground frankincense. It is made by hand, cut into small pieces and cured for several months, after which time the incense is dry and ready for use. The scent is best released by placing the pieces alongside of (rather than on top of) a lighted charcoal.
I am not endorsing, as a matter of fact I don't endorse this group and recommend you do not purchase anything from this un-canonical group.

Laird discloses the details of the Son Tay Raid
Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird discloses the November 21 U.S. raid on the North Vietnamese prison camp at Son Tay. On November 21, a combined Air Force and Army team of 40 Americans–led by Army Colonel "Bull" Simons–conducted a raid on the Son Tay prison camp, 23 miles west of Hanoi, in an attempt to free between 70 and 100 American suspected of being held there. The raid was conducted almost flawlessly, but no prisoners of war were found in the camp. They had been moved earlier to other locations.
Laird revealed that approximately one hour after the raid took place, U.S. aircraft (200 fighter bombers and 100 support aircraft) inflicted the most severe bombing raids in two years on North Vietnam as retaliation for the shooting down of U.S. reconnaissance aircraft. Hanoi Radio reported that "wave after wave" of U.S. bombers attacked North Vietnam and said that the planes struck at targets ranging from Haiphong to Hoa Binh province, southeast of Hanoi.

The Rural Life... More About Trees and Plants...
This is a great "simple syrup" for pancakes, waffles or biscuits. It's fun to make a batch and enjoy the clover flavor. I know this isn't my recipe blog, but it's such an interesting recipe, I thought some might enjoy reading it.
100 red and/or white clover blossoms
5 lbs. granulated sugar
1 1/2 pints water
1 teaspoon powdered alum
Collect the clover blossoms from an area where you are sure they have not been sprayed with chemicals. (Alfalfa blossoms may be added as well.) Remove the green leaflets and stems from the blossoms and rinse them thoroughly in cold water.
Prepare the canning jars and lids.
Stir the sugar and water together in a large saucepan and heat to boiling, stirring frequently. When the sugar mixture comes to a full boil, cook it until the syrup becomes clear. Add the alum and boil 2 more minutes. Remove from heat.
Add the clover blossoms to the hot syrup, stirring very gently to settle them into the mixture. Cover the syrup and allow the blossoms to steep for 10 min. Strain the syrup through a sieve to remove the blossoms.
Reheat the syrup to a full boil. Fill sterilized jars leaving 1/2" headroom; process in a boiling water bath for 5 min.
VARIATION: For a smaller batch, use 20-25 clover blossoms, 1 lb. sugar, 1/2 c. plus 2 Tbsp. water, and 1/4 tsp. alum. Fill sterilized jars. Process in boiling water bath, or seal and store in the refrigerator to be used within a couple weeks.

The yellow menace
October 27, 2012 § 24 Comments
We have some little Asian haters in our apartment complex. This means they have a lot to hate, overrun as we are with Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and other people with black hair and non-white skin.
It started off with him and his friend yelling racial epithets at my youngest son from their balcony, which is higher than ours and which faces us. My son is in high school and doesn't give a shit what some little kid and his friend say or do, so he just closed the blinds and ignored them.
Then a few mornings ago I was cleaning my bike and noticed a half-dozen exploded M80's lying on the balcony. Ms. WM had told me that over the last few weeks the harassment had gotten worse; they'd begun shouting at her when she walked over to the parking garage.
I got home this evening to learn that it had escalated.
"You know little shitturds hate a Japnese?"
"Yeah. What'd they do now?"
"I'm gonna walkin to the garage and peeeeewww! Comes onna long water squirt. Little shitturds gonna sprayin me with pumpin water gun."
"You're fucking kidding me. What'd you do?"
"I done what you think I'm gonna done. I yelled at 'em little shitturds to stop sprayin onna water or they was gonna getta ass beating."
"They shitturded runnin back inna the apartment. I was gonna make a appointment and runnin late so I was gonna go by this evenin but I got too busy onna dinner to worry 'bout little shitturds."
At that moment there was a "thunk" against the balcony's sliding glass door.
We turned off the lights and opened the blinds. There the little shitturds were, scampering back into their apartment. We saw a big guy from another apartment next to theirs and lower down doing exactly what we were doing, only he was already out on his balcony looking up at theirs.
I went out and saw three or four other residents, all on our side of the building, doing the same thing. "They throwing shit at you?" I asked.
"Yes," everyone chorused.
"Well," I said. "Let's pay them a visit."
I felt like Tai-Pan or the white dude in Shogun, leading my band of hardy Asian warriors off to battle. They were pissed. Some had been bombarded with half-eaten apple cores, others with banana peels, and one with a tennis ball.
We got to little shitturds' door and knocked. No answer. Then I pounded. No answer. "I've tried to do this before," said a guy named Yang. "But they never answer. Their parents aren't home. They yell things all the time."
"When I walk beneath their apartment they say things like 'Chink!' and 'Japfuck!' and 'Yellow bitch!' said one incredibly lovely young girl, who was a senior in high school. It's pretty annoying."
A little dog emitted a fearful, muffled yap from one of the inner rooms. "We'll smoke the little shitturds out," I said. "Eventually they'll come to the door and listen to us talking, thinking we don't know they're listening. Then we'll have 'em."
We kept banging and knocking for a solid five minutes. Finally the little dog was yapping right there, on the other side of the door. I held up my empty hand, pretending to be speaking into a phone. Yang and the others stifled a laugh. "Hello? Security?" I said. "I'm over at apartment building 12 and there are some kids who are throwing stuff and shooting off what look like large firecrackers. Could you send someone over?"
The dog went completely silent.
"Oh, I see. That's a code red? So I need to call the police? It qualifies as a terroristic threat? Okay. 911, right? Thanks. And you're sure they'll make arrests and take these kids to jail ? Great. Thanks again."
The door swung open.
The two boys stood there, as pasty-faced and frightened as anyone I've ever seen, or imagined seeing. The ringleader stood in front. He was a very fat little seventh grader with long, unkempt hair, a small mouth, and the beady eyes of a bully. His accomplice was taller and skinny, blonde and blue-eyed, and he was shaking.
Shitturd One spoke so softly, and his voice shook so badly, that I could barely make him out. "I'm really sorry," he said.
"Listen, do you sorry little snotnoses want to go to jail? That's fucking assault, hitting people with shit, and it's attempted battery throwing shit at their apartment, and it's a goddamn felony to try and hurt someone with a fucking explosive!"
They were shaking so bad that the fat kid's blubber on his neck was jiggling like a bowl of jello. "We're really sorry, sir," he half-cried.
"Sorry? You think I give a rat's ass if you're sorry? What's your name, you little fucking punk?"
"Billy Snipkins," he stammered.
"And what about asshole standing behind you? What's your name, you stupid little prick?"
"Me?" he said.
"You don't think I'm asking the fucking dog, do you?"
"But I don't even live here."
"That's an extra year in prison for being a non-resident accomplice. What's your fucking name?" I roared.
"What's your fucking last name?'
"You two little pricks go to Shady Acres Middle School?" They nodded. "Okay. Talleywhacker, I know your name now and am calling your fucking parents. I have a student guide from last year."
"Are the police coming?" asked Snipkins.
"Fuck yes they're coming. And they're bringing a fucking bomb squad and drug dogs."
At the mention of drug dogs both boys began to cry. "We're sorry!" they wailed.
"Well get your sorry fucking asses over to my wife and apologize to her and ask her to call the cops and tell them not to come. But she's so pissed at your bullshit she probably will call 'em just for the satisfaction of seeing you two little assholes get cuffed and stuffed and dragged off to jail. And you can start your fucking apologies here." I gestured at Yang & Co.
They were now crying in earnest, and apologized over and over to each of the assembled tenants, all of whom were doing their best to look stern, which was a challenge. Next we marched over to Mrs. WM.
"We're so sorry!" they wailed.
"Why you wanna do that?" she said. "You thinkin Asian people onna bad? We makin your car and TV and iPhone and Chinese noodle. What you gonna do without no car and TV and noodle?"
They apologized some more.
"Where your momma and daddy?" she asked.
The fat boy looked down. "My parents are split up."
"Where your momma then?"
"She always goes out to bars and stuff after work."
There were a few seconds of silence as the picture gelled. He was a bored and angry kid, ignored by his parents, and he had no way left to get noticed in the world, or noticed by the world, except through causing trouble. In a few years he'd graduate to real trouble, if he hadn't already.
My anger and sense of righteousness evaporated in an instant. That kid was me. "Look, pal," I said. "This kind of shit will get you thrown out of here. Don't take your anger out on people just because they're Asian." I wasn't yelling anymore, and could barely muster up my lecture tone. "Go apologize to these other families and be done with it."
He wasn't crying now, but he was still terrified. "Are the cops coming?"
"No," I said. "No cops if you'll knock it off."
"Okay," he said. "I promise."
Mrs. WM closed the door and we sat down at the table. She was grateful they'd been brought to justice. No one likes to be the object of racial hatred, regardless of the reason. But she's also a mom, and happens to be the best one I've ever known. "Little shitturd's momma better quit hoppin onna bars."
"Yeah," I said.
"You donna worse onna things than that when you was a kid."
"Yeah," I said.
"You feelin' onna guilty 'cause you yellin at those boys but their momma and dad not around, and your parents was ignorin on you all time and you know how they feelin and they anger."
"Yeah." I said.
"You a grown up man now and gotta be a hypocrite. That's what a growin' up is for. So you can tell onna kids not to do what you did."
"Yeah," I said.
She reached over and squeezed my hand. "Don' you feel onna bad. Those little shitturds gonna got a good lesson tonight."
"Yeah," I said.
"An you got onna good one, too."

I hope your legal briefs are this good. Thanks for another great post.
Maybe you can get these kids interested in cycling? A Bikes Not Bombs kind of intervention? Wanky's Big Brother After School Special?
That's good. Perspective comes from where you stand and where you have been.
Remember that kid that strong-armed my kid's bike two years ago? He just got busted the other day for robbing a liquor store (while under house arrest). He's fifteen years old. BTW- I was the skinny kid in back…
Good story. Sad story. Hopefully the life lessons taught and learned that night will steer all the parties down a better path. Kudos to you and your wife for handling it in a parental way.
Really nice piece.
Seth, beautifully written and touching. You're a good man.
literary gold.
Does your wife know you're copying her excessive vowels and missing articles for the entire world to hear? Legend.
I am Asian; yesterday I had to make a tough call: is this Masshole I'm dealing with merely being a Masshole or is racism intrinsic to his upbringing? Fuck him, he got back more than he dished. That's what you get when you underestimate the Yellow Scourge.
Enlightening as always. Thanks.
Heard later that day in the retelling. . .
"Wankmeister, did you order the Code Red?!"
"You don't have to answer that question!"
"I'll answer the question. You want answers?"
"I think I'm entitled."
"You want answers?!"
"I want the truth!"
"You can't handle the truth! Son, we live in an apartment that has Asian women, and those Asian women have to be guarded by men with bikes. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Harvey Mushman? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom! You weep for punk kids and you curse the wankers. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Billy Snipkins crying, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives! You don't want the truth, because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me in that apartment! You need me in that apartment! We use words like "wanker", "sprunt", "go to the front". We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline! I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it! I would rather you just said "Thank you," and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you hop on a bike, and take a pull. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!"
"Did you order the Code Red?"
"I did the job that—-"
"Did you order the Code Red?!"
"You're goddamn right I did!!"

Sergiu Nicolaescu
BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — Sergiu Nicolaescu, a prolific and popular Romanian director known for his historical epics who also served as a Senator, died Thursday. He was 82.
The Elias Hospital said Nicolaescu died from heart and lung complications following surgery for digestive problems.
Nicolaescu quit politics in December, having been Senator for the Social Democracy Party since 1992.
Nicolaescu made some 50 movies in his lifetime, and despite his career in politics, continued to direct films such as the "Orient Express" in 2004.
He was best known for historical films which found favor with the Communist regime before it collapsed in 1989. His 1979 movie "Mihai the Brave" is considered a cinematic classic in Romania.
"A star of Romania has been extinguished," said Prime Minister Victor Ponta.
Nicolaescu was also an actor, and had several leading roles during his career, notably playing King Carol I in "Carol I," a movie he also directed that was released in 2010.

NILES, ILLINOIS, November 9, 2009 — One of the deepest layers of America's musical fabric, bluegrass music, is known for its detail and realism. It's no surprise, then, that Shure KSM313 Dual-Voice Ribbon Microphones were chosen to capture live performances at the recent International Bluegrass Music Association awards show in Nashville.Steve Martin
Cliff Miller from SE Systems in Greensboro, North Carolina, was the Audio Coordinator for the show and specifically requested Shure KSM313 ribbon microphones.
"When I first heard about the new Shure ribbon microphones I was curious to try it out on banjo," Miller says. "The KSM313 has an amazingly warm sound and great rejection in front of floor wedges when angled away from the monitors."
Among those performing was actor-comedian and veteran banjo player Steve Martin and his current tour mates, the Steep Canyon Rangers. Steve Jones, Martin's Front-of-House Engineer, has been using the KSM313 on the road and on major TV performances.
"The [KSM]313 is a great microphone…warm, transparent," said Jones. "I like the gain before feedback and the flexibility in the bi-directional tonal options with this mic. And, the mounting bracket is extremely flexible."
After the awards show, Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers performed a special show at the famous Station Inn.
"The mic sounds great," said Martin. "It's just the kind of sound I've been looking for."

Lincoln Mayor Don Wesely today accepted an award from the Wellness Councils of America (WELCOA) designating Lincoln as a "Well City, U.S.A." Only four other cities have received the designation, which requires that at least 20 percent of the city's employees work in businesses that qualify as Well Workplaces.
"One of the reasons this award is so significant is that it recognizes a strong partnership between the public and private sectors," said Mayor Wesely in his acceptance remarks. "With our city's low unemployment rate and the ever-increasing cost of health care, it is extremely important to businesses in our community to help employees stay healthy. Addressing health issues at the workplace -- where many of us spend most of our waking hours -- is a wise investment."
The Well City award was presented to Wesely by WELCOA President David Hunnicutt and Bill Kizer, WELCOA founder and CEO of Central States Life Insurance. The luncheon celebration featured a keynote address by Kevin Saunders of Downs, Kansas, who survived a near-fatal accident to become a champion wheelchair athlete. He was the first person with a disability to be appointed to the Presidential Physical Fitness Council.
WorkWell, Inc., Lincoln's worksite wellness council, has partnered with the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department on the three-year effort to become a Well City, U.S.A. Currently, 27 businesses in Lincoln representing 31,000 employees have achieved the status of bronze, silver or gold Well Workplaces. (A list follows this release.) WorkWell will now assist the Well Workplace businesses in implementing their wellness plans.
Other Well Cities are Omaha, Nebraska; Jacksonville, Florida; Chattanooga, Tennessee; and Hobart, Indiana.
Lincoln's Well Workplaces are: Ameritas; BryanLGH; CenterPointe; the City of Lincoln; Cooperative Benefit Administrators; Duncan Aviation; Farmland Foods; the Gallup Organization; General Excavating; Hampton Enterprises; HWS Consulting Group Inc.; Kawasaki; Lancaster County; the Lincoln Journal Star; Lincoln Plating; the Lincoln Public Schools; the Lower Platte South Natural Resources District; Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital; Molex Incorporated; Olsson Associates; Pfizer; the State of Nebraska; State Farm Insurance; Union Insurance; United Fire and Casualty; University of Nebraska-Lincoln Campus Recreation; YMCA.

When he was 11 years old, Matt Dalio spent a year in China where he fell in love with the people and the culture. Matt personally witnessed the living conditions of orphans with special needs. Their faces made a lasting impression on him and he committed to do something to give them hope. Five years later in 2000, at the age of 16, Matt founded China Care Foundation to offer orphaned children with special needs a brighter future.
When Matt later enrolled at Harvard he realized how much more the organization could do with a network of students behind it. He also realized he wanted other young people to experience the same sense of empowerment that he had discovered; a little work could forever change a child's life. China Care's Youth Empowerment movement began, and today there are China Care Clubs at high schools and colleges across North America that dedicate their time and hard work to benefit children in need.
In 2009, China Care Foundation formed a partnership with Half the Sky Foundation, another non-profit organization working to improve the lives of orphaned children in China. Together we opened the China Care Home at Half the Sky.
This home is equipped to provide state-of-the-art medical care to special needs children in our pre and post operative Special Care Nurseries and Family Housing Units. The Nurseries offer round-the-clock love and care until the children are strong enough to either return to the orphanage or further recuperate and receive ongoing medical treatment at our Family Housing Units for long-term recuperative care. The China Care Home Preschool was started to ensure that our toddlers and preschool-age children would not miss out on the fun activities that enhance young children's development and lift their moods. While in our care, the children are watched over by doting trained nannies who wipe away their tears, patiently coax smiles onto their faces, and embrace them with soothing hugs. At the China Care Home these children who have lost their families and are fighting to survive, are never again alone in the world.
Once given a clean bill of health, children at the China Care Home are enrolled in enrichment programs at Half the Sky to ensure these brave survivors continue to receive the love they deserve. These Half the Sky programs help ensure that every child, no matter how humble their beginnings, has a caring adult in their life and a chance at a brighter future.
