FVWM-Crystal 3.0.4 — speed and transparency
[ Friday, 15 September 2006, michuk ]
FVWM-Crystal is an eye-candy, functional and ultra-fast desktop environment for GNU/Linux, based on FVWM. Crystal can be used even on very old machines, thus it is a noticeable alternative to popular desktop choices like XFCE or Fluxbox.

FVWM is one of the oldest window managers for the X Window System. It is actually so old that even the creators don't remember what the first letter of the acronym stands for. FVWM acronym is often evaluated to "Flexible Virtual Window Manager". If you like, you can however put any other word there. Some examples include: "Fine", "Freaky", "Favorite", "Furious", "Functional", etc .
FVWM is known for its configurability. It provides a countless number of options making it possible to personalize your desktop to a very large extent. It even has it own scripting language and a shell (called FVWM console) which can be exploited by advanced users to interactively change the desktop looks and behavior. For programmers, there is an API available for creating new applets for FVWM, written in Perl.
The default FVWM looks is very minimalistic. There is just a blank desktop and a menu accessed with a right mouse button. In order to appreciate this great window manager you need to visit the FVWM-themes website, where you can see multiple screenshots of modified FVWM desktops, as well as download numerous themes. Here are just a few interesting examples:
- FWVM which Windows XP looks and FVWM with MacOS looks – themes by user sa from xmission.com
- Smokey and Artic – original themes created by Pierre Eric Marchandet, with transparency enabled
- Another interesting theme created by Tril from ironphoenix.org, using a matrix of virtual desktops (3×3) and WindowMaker-like docks.
FVWM-Crystal, which is the subject of this article, has been originally created as an FVWM theme as well. However, it evolved to something much more complex. Currently Crystal is integrated with a bunch of external tools like music players, desktop toolbars, file managers, terminals and more, so we decided to call it a minimalistic desktop environment with FVWM as the window manager. Following this path, it should be compared with GNOME or XFCE rather than Fluxbox, WindowMaker and such. But, to be precise, it's actually something in between.

Why Crystal?
Good question, like a politician would say. We have dozens of window managers for X and a few full-featured desktop environments. Why should you care for yet another not very popular program doing the same thing? Well, there are a couple of reasons why, actually.
- FVWM-Crystal is fast. It boots-up a few times quicker than GNOME or KDE and takes up a dozen times less memory. This is however a feature of most lightweight window managers. Nothing too fancy.
- FVWM-Crystal looks really great. The whole desktop is transparent by default, including application panels, clock and menus. There are some great themes available, as well, making the desktop look like Windows or MacOS. It has its own original Crystal look as well. This is something already.
- FVWM-Crystal is convenient, thanks to very configurable shortcuts, well-selected functionality and neat integration with lots of external applications, like file managers (ROX-Filer, Nautilus), tray panels (trayer, habak), multimedia players (XMMS, mpd or Quod Libet) and many more.
- FVWM-Crystal is highly configurable. You can alter almost any desktop function: windows buttons, main menu and sub-menus, virtual desktops, shortcuts, mouse behavior and everything else you can think of – including the layout and the meaning of buttons – with just a few mouse clicks.
Crystal is a pure pleasure to use. With a file manager like Nautilus of ROX-Filer, it really makes a consistent and full-featured desktop for every-day work. But… let's quit that marketing-talk for a while and just describe the actual features offered by Crystal.

For file management we have a choice of ROX-Filer and Nautilus. Of course we could employ another file manager as well, or just do without one. Still, I suggest trying ROX, since it nicely fits with the Crystal way of doing things. It's very responsive, looks nice and offers quite a lot of functionality. The key features of ROX-Filer are as follows:
- intensive usage of drag & drop,
- an option to assign many actions to file types,
- quick navigation using both mouse and keyboard, e.g. pressing / (slash button) triggers a window in which we can enter the folder name (with names completion!) which we want to visit,
- bookmarks with frequently user folders,
- folders and files recently open or altered are marked bold,
- fast and easy permission management (also recursive) for files and folders,
- quick folder size calculation.

Trayer is an external app which functions as a notification area (also known as systray). It is fully compatible with GNOME and quite compatible with KDE, which makes it a universal place to hold icons of all GUI applications which are currently running in background (like instant messengers, music players, Beagle search client, update manager and many more). The icons look pretty nicely on the transparent panel which makes an impression that it is a natural part of the desktop (which it actually is).
Multimedia player integration
FVWM-Crystal provides a special way of dealing with music players. It has a unique menu for song management which is compatible with quite a few Linux multimedia players. Currently it supports MPD, XMMS (xmms-shell required), XMMS2, Quod Libet and cdcd. The multimedia panel provides options to control volume, manage playlist, turn shuffle mode on/off and do other things typical to audio players. All of those can be accessed both using mouse and keyboard (the default shortcuts for music management can be found in components/bindings/Music).
Virtual desktops
Virtual desktops is what FVWM is famous for. Desktop switching is as fast as it could be. The virtual desktop applet is quite aesthetic (and transparent, obviously). It shows thumbnails of all applications opened on each desktop (including their current sizes). Using just one button (middle mouse by default) we can move apps between desktops. Alternative ways include: using a defined key binding or just dragging the window to the edge of the current desktop which automatically moves it to the one it borders on.
In short, FVWM-Crystal is prepared to handle virtual desktops in any required way, both using mouse and keyboard. The actual behavior is up to the user.
Window thumbnails
Two of the default Crystal recipes: Top-Down and Top-Line allow for windows thumbnails. This means that when you minimize a window, Crystal automatically creates a neat-looking thumbnail of it and places it on your desktop. This is a nice alternative to windows panels with all minimized windows. Of course you can use either of these solutions or even both at the same time.
ACPI support
Thanks to a special recipe: Default with ACPI, we can be constantly informed about the current status of the battery and processor temperature on notebook computers. Of course, in order for these functions to work, proper kernel modules need to be activated. But this is not an issue anymore, since most of the modern distros (like Ubuntu or openSUSE) come with such kernels preconfigured.
Pic 5. FVWM-Crystal with Top-Down theme
So, we covered the key features of FVWM-Crystal already. Let's now move to the practical part of setting up our new desktop. In the following sections, you will learn how to install, configure and use Crystal on a daily basis.
Installation of Crystal requires a few steps. You certainly need the latest FVWM snapshot. FVWM is available in almost all popular Linux distributions. The package is usually called fvwm or fvwm2. If it is not in the repositories of your distro, you may need to download the sources from the project's website and compile them manually. For proper functioning of FVWM-Crystal you need at least FVWM 2.5.13 (or a more recent version if available). Except for FVWM, you also need a few external apps to get going. Not all of them are required, but it's good to install everything so that you can test Crystal with full functionality first, and remove the unwanted features later on.
Requirements (the complete list):
- FVWM – version 2.5.13 or higher
- Python – for some scripts
- ImageMagick –
convertare used in Crystal for thumbnails and desktop screenshots
- ROX-Filer or Nautilus – for icons on the desktop (additional wallpaper program not needed)
- XScreenSaver – a screen saver
- trayer – a systray (notification area)
- configured sudo and optionally gksudo – for running text/graphical programs using root privileges and reboot/shutdown computer options in the Exit menu
- terminal emulator – xterm, aterm, Eterm, mrxvt, urxvt, Eterm, gnome-terminal, konsole or xfce4-terminal
- GDM (gdmflexiserver) – for shutdown/reboot/new login commands in the Exit menu
- program for setting a wallpaper – Esetroot, hsetroot or habak
- music player – Music Player Daemon (+ mpc), X MultiMedia System (+ xmms-shell and XMMSFind), XMMS2, Quod Libet or cdcd
Most of those programs are probably already in your repos. If you are using Ubuntu or Debian, you can simply issue the following command to get all the software you may need for Crystal:
sudo apt-get install fvwm python imagemagick rox-filer\\
xscreensaver trayer gksu aterm habak mpd mpc
In other distros the command will looks slightly different and perhaps the package names might be different as well.

Installing Crystal
So, when you already have all the required dependencies, it's time to get Crystal. For that, you can visit FVWM-Crystal download section and grab the latest version. Currently (as of writing this article) it is version 3.0.4. When the tarball is downloaded, all we have to do is unpacking and installing:
tar xvzf fvwm-crystal-3.0.4.tar.gz
cd fvwm-crystal-3.0.4
sudo make install
Optionally, you can also copy the
addons/fvwm-crystal.desktop file to folder
/usr/share/xsessions/, so that FVWM-Crystal appears in the list of desktops in your favorite session manager (GDM/KDM). We recommend to look through the rest of the files in
addons folder as well and apply the suggestions according to your needs. Read more about those files in the next section.
FVWM-Crystal Configuration
Crystal introduced a few one-click configuration options available straight from the main menu. You can change the windows style, color theme, recipe, desktop wallpaper, screen-saver and the default applications (music player, terminal, etc) using the System menu (the one with a Crystal image). From the same menu one can also make a screenshot (with or without a delay, saved in
~/.fvwm-crystal/screenshots by default), log out or reboot/shutdown the system.
For all remaining configuration options, manual editing of configuration files is required. The good part of this is that the Crystal config files are very well documented. It's fairly easy to learn how to use them for adjusting the desktop look and feel. Still, the lack of advanced configuration wizard (known from GNOME, KDE, or even IceWM) is a little problem, especially for the newcomers.
Coming back to the configuration files, the Crystal configuration is located in
/usr/local/share/fvwm-crystal/fvwm. Personal settings are located in
~/.fvwm-crystal. It's a good practice to copy each file you need to edit from the system-wide folder to the corresponding location in
~/.fvwm-crystal, so that you always know which files has been modified. This way you also keep the original configuration for all users and you can switch back to it any moment you want (by simply removing
The FVWM-Crystal configuration is divided into a few folders:
- Applications – contains a list of programs to be displayed in the Crystal menu,
- colorsets – the color sets describe the color of foreground text, menu items, shadows and transparency level of each component,
- components – this is the place where all the low-level stuff can be configured, more details about this folder later on in this article,
- decorations – window decorations and scripts for different button models (FVWM-Crystal, MS Windows, MacOS, OS/2, NextStep),
- icons – icons of the applications, used in the menu, on the applications panel, on the window bar and in the virtual desktops applet,
- locale – translation files for desktop and menu (in different languages),
- preferences – personal settings (which we can also change using the Crystal menu mentioned before) including the list of apps to be launched during the X window system startup,
- recipes – recipes are FVWM scripts which describe the desktop layout – things like the main menu, clock, applications panel, virtual desktop applet, etc,
- scripts – scripts used by Crystal, by default we have here some scripts used by the MPD application,
- wallpapers – one of the places where Crystal expects to find the desktop wallpapers, another two are
The folders which are especially interesting are
components and
preferences. They consist of those configuration options that are usually most frequently used.
All key bindings are defined in
components/bindings. The first thing I do after installing Crystal is changing the default desktop switching key in file
Pager-Horizontal, since I'm used to
ALT + 1-10 combination.
Another important file is
preferences/Startup. This is the place where you can put all the apps you want started on Crystal boot-up. I usually enable the Ubuntu's update-manager, Beagle search daemon and messengers: Skype and Psi (Jabber). Sample configuration is provided with Crystal. It's enough to comment out (remove '#' sign) the required lines.
There is one more file which can be very useful – it's
userconfig in home Crystal root (
~/.fvwm-crystal). You can put any FVWM command there, but it's good to keep this file clean and modify the appropriate ones, leaving userconfig for quick hacks only. Here is a sample userconfig I use.
Pic 7. FVWM-Crystal with Clean theme
Before launching FVWM-Crystal for the first time it's good to take a look at the
addons folder located together with the sources. There are four files there and here is what they are responsible for:
- fvwm-crystal.desktop – contains FVWM-Crystal desktop description, after placing it in
/usr/share/xsessions/we'll be able to choose Crystal as one of the desktops in our session manager (kdm, gdm or xdm)
- sudo – this is a sample sudo configuration (
/etc/sudoersfile), when applied, the user will be granted permission to reboot/shutdown the system straight from the Crystal menu. Before replacing the
/etc/sudoerscontent with this sample configuration it is required to change the
User_Aliasoption by providing all users who should be granted such permissions
- Xresources – we can copy this file to our home folder and rename it to
.Xresources(a dot at the beginning); this file configures the terminal emulators used in FVWM (by adjusting things like colors, fonts and encoding). The terminals are configured for Latin1 encoding by default. If we need another encoding (like UTF-8) we need to manually correct it in this file.
- Xsession – if you don't use a session manager, then copy this file to your home folder, renaming it to
.Xsession. Crystal will be loaded automatically when issued the
startxcommand in the console.
One crucial remark at the end. The documentation provided in folder
doc (together with the sources) is really worth reading. It's not too long and consist of things that are useful, especially when you are going to try Crystal for the first time.
Tips & tricks
We already described what Crystal is, why it is worth using, how to get it and how to adjust it to our needs. Finally, we would like to provide you with these few tips and tricks – things that make Crystal even more pleasant to use. And you can impress your girlfriend by using them, too
Essential key-shortcuts
Using FVWM-Crystal without knowing the shortcuts is like driving a car without touching the clutch. In other words, to get the most out of Crystal, you need to learn the basic shortcuts. Otherwise you may be surprised because the meaning of mouse buttons and keys in some situations are totally different from what you are used to from KDE, GNOME or even Fluxbox.
Mouse buttons:
- Right mouse button click on desktop – opens up a terminal
- Middle mouse button click on desktop – turns on and off the feature to switch desktops by moving the mouse cursor to the edge of the screen
- ALT+F1 – ALT+F10 – switching between virtual desktops 1-10
- ALT+Escape – switching between the two recently used desktops (cool stuff)
- Num-5 – change of focus between the two recent apps (even cooler stuff!)
- ALT+` – opens and closes QuakeConsole window – a nice virtual terminal (which can be xterm, aterm or mrxvt, depending on our choice) – the terminal comes out of nowhere and shows up in the top part of the desktop
- ALT+Shift+` – opens up a new terminal window (xterm, aterm, mrxvt, Eterm or gnome-terminal)
- ALT+; – opens up and closes FvwmConsole – a place where we can watch FVWM logs, as well as issue commands and FVWM scripts – I usually use it for launching custom apps
- ALT+Menu – triggers a menu show up (the Diamond menu with all the applications, etc)
- ALT+= maximizes current window (back and forth)
- ALT+Backspace minimizes the current window to a desktop icon
- ALT+Shift+Backspace closes the current window
- ALT+Shift+= – full screen (and back to normal size)
- ALT+z/b – previous/next track in the music player
- ALT+x/c/v – start/pause/stop playing
- ALT+./, – mixer volume up/down
Of course these are just the most common shortcuts. For more, see
doc/Keyboard bindings.txt in the sources folder of FVWM-Crystal.

Window focus
The default setting for window focus in Crystal may be quite astonishing. Clicking on some window does not automatically put it to the front. You need to click on the window title or use the left Alt button to make bring it to the top. This is intentional behavior. It's especially useful when with instant messengers – we can chat and do other things at the same time, without bothering with the windows coming up front unexpectedly. A special key binding (numeric '5′) triggers a change of focus between the web browser/word processor and the chat window. This way we can use both app without bothering with the mouse.
Working in such environment can be frustrating at the beginning since nothing seems to work as expected. However, after getting used to it, we gain much better control over our desktop and are able to work faster.
Of course if you don't like this behavior, it's easy to change it and get back to the regular GNOME/KDE way of working with windows.
FVWM-Crystal and UTF-8
If you use UTF-8 encoding in your system (and this is the default in some distros like Ubuntu or Fedora Core), you will need to manually edit a few configuration files so that the Unicode-specific letters show up as they should. Everywhere you encounter a line like that:
Font "xft:Tahoma:pixelsize=13", you should change it to something like
Font "xft:Tahoma:encoding=iso10646-1:pixelsize=13" and save the file. I created a patch to FVWM-Crystal which does this automatically. You can take a look at this article for more details: FVWM-Crystal and UTF-8.
Changes in FVWM-Crystal 3.0.4
The review covers the latest version of Crystal, 3.0.4. There has been a few changes in this release compared to 3.0.3. The main differences are:
- Crystal configuration has moved from ~/.fvwm to ~/.fvwm-crystal,
- Additional package has been added for minimal installs: fvwm-crystal-minimal. It includes just a few recipes, window decorations, etc.
- New recipes "MicroClear", based on "Clear", "Light" and "SideLine"
- Crystal now recognizes UTF-8 environment and properly sets fonts in the menus (for window decorations you still need to patch it yourself)
- Hungarian translation
You can also read the NEWS file to get more information.
FVWM-Crystal is a great desktop solution suitable both for users of older computers and those who just prefer speed and clean looks over "bloat" and graphical wizards. Crystal is also a good choice for those who like to adjust every possible part of the desktop to their needs and are not afraid of touching configuration files. FVWM-Crystal is efficient and very elegant. It sure has it's drawbacks (like the troublesome UTF-8 support) but it's still worth trying if you are bored with Fluxbox or XFCE. The more desktops, the more options we have – and we should be happy we have the choice, after all.

Great review! This FVWM-Crystal sounds quite exciting and after reading this I am looking forward to try it. I generally do like minimal window managers, but also appreciate the completeness of desktop environments and this seems like something that could be a perfect fit.

Why just not just create a little repository with a meta-package, so we can just "apt-get install crystal-desktop" and select at login?
Excellent article. Ought to look and see if Metisse is also supported…
Crystal, XGL, bent windows….
I'm a satisfied FVWM user. This article gives me the impression that the FVWM-Crystal "desktop" has a lot useless and distracting "eye candy" (in other words eyesores), yet precious little substance under the shiny surface.
@Merry Jane:
I use FVWM-Crystal equally for its functionality and nice looks. I don't see Crystal as distractive or too eye-candy. It's just a nice, clear desktop. You can apply different themes, even drop the transparency effect (which is what Crystal is famous for) if you wish. It's the user who decides.
If you use FWVM and re satisfied with it, you probably don't need Crystal. It was meant rather for people who use other lightweight managers but want something equally functional but better looking by default.

I love the minimized-app thumbnail. I missed the Virtual desktop slider on the original fvwm (continuosly can be found right after your current desktop, no need to do click-to-switch) I'll try thin thing for a few days and compared to fluxbox.

Gentoo and XFCE4 user here, after reading this i ran
emerge fvwm-crystal, after a few minutes i got crystal, worked right out of the box. It has some cool features and themes.
Still need to figure out how to save/restore sessions and where's the RUN applet, never the less, it seems great. Fast and Clean.
You forgot a couple of things. It's also integrated into GDM quite nicely, and in these cases, you don't even need the sudo addons file anymore. The only integration feature missing is hibernate, but implementing that should be a snap. Unfortunately dev has been slow or it would have been integrated.
Secondly Alt-F[1-8] will switch desktops, which is very important in Crystal.
Thirdly development uses 'darcs'. If that's not a feature, I'm not sure what is!
Woah, I really really want the wallpaper in that last screenshot.
Can anyone tell me where I can get it??
Thanks in advance!
Is there any distro's out there that have the option to choose fvwm-crystal as your default manager?
Well, from what I can recall, the F in FVWM was for "Feeble".
Yes, really!
I remember that from slackware 2.8 package descriptions, and, being fvwm the first window manager I used back in 1994/95… I'm pretty sure that, at least, Feeble was the word in the descriptions.
stormeagl, the snowy desktop is a picture called alta-badia.jpg. You can find a 1600×1200 copy here: http://home.kallisti.de/gallery/d/2448-1/alta-badia.jpg
sw33t! I just read about this on SlashDork. Many ppl were doggin it. I don't care what people say –this looks c00l!!!
The more stuff like this, the funner Linux etc. becomes.
Thanks FVWM people!
The 'F' stands for feeble, I remember back from early Slackware days it was one of the first useful window managers!
[...] More here [...]
[...] I had another one of those painful moments today while reading this review of FWM-Crystal. Quotes that particulaarly drove it home included "FVWM is one of the oldest window managers for the X Window System" (uwm seems like an old window manager to me, and the "newer" ones were mwm and the twm clan. FVWM didn't really pick up until Linux was on the scene) and "It is actually so old that even the creators don't remember what the first letter of the acronym stands for" (that'd be Feeble). [...]
I like that tree against orange background with stars
(Pic. 2), myself.
Anyone know the source?
wow, looks a ton beater then kde or gnome.
Sebastien: Wallpaper comes standard with Ubuntu.
Several times faster bootup: from 30 seconds to 15?
A dozen times less memory: from 128 MB to 10MB?
Years ago I aways heard that the "F" in FVWM
stood for "Frugal"
i.e. Frugal Virtual Windows Manager.
A window manager and desktop environment are two different things.
Should be comparing KDE's default wm kwm or Gnome's metacity. I don't see how running a desktop environment over this window manager will use any less resources than the default ones. Running Gnome or KDE on top of this window manager will still use the same resources.
Granted this is cool, yet has been done before with waimea and like. The only interesting part is "transparent" bars at the top and bottom… that can already be done by the desktop environment, such as gnome-panel with much more functionality.
This is yet another window manager that happens to have "transparent" bars that will get the attention of those that like eye candy screenshots.
If you are looking to run something on an old machine, yet desire a pure wm without desktop environment, then this may be for you, otherwise just stick to using your current setup
Sebastien –
That's one of the backgrounds that ships with Ubuntu 6.06 (dapper drake).
I started running linux in 1994… I seem to remember the F in FVWM standing for "Feeble". Who knows…
twm is older- it came out of MIT with all the original X stuff.
Just some history, according to my feeble memory.
I'm sure it was Frugal too!

uauuuuu esta muy wapo.
Does anyone know how to add the SUSE and Utility menu to the menu list? I've given up after several hours of trying to do it by myself.
Emerged fvwm-crystal on Gentoo a couple of weeks ago and was very impressed, however…customizations were not possible for some reason, and fvwm completely toasted my Gnome themes. I changed the fvem desktop a bit to my liking and none of the changes would stick. I even renamed all of the source configs (in /usr?), so the defaults would not get pulled in and still no changes would stick. After logging back into Gnome, I found all of my themes were broken – they all looked the same and had an odd orange highlight when controls got the focus.
Overall, I was impressed with the eye-candy and performance, but breaking my system was unacceptable. I had to surgically extract Gnome and re-emerge everything to get it working again. Brutal, but I didn't have time to dig around and figure out what was happening, plus I was PO'd…I would like to try fvwm again, but I would rather try to build my own config than use the crystal thing again…
The couple fvwm and fvwm-crystal was exactly what I was looking for. Kde is a great desktop, but it don't have as many customization possibilities as fvwm, and I don't want arts on my system but just alsa and jack. Gnome is not an option for me, because of the lack of configurations. The last time I try it, 10 minutes later it was gone, because it was not even possible to configure the mouse the way I like it.
I installed the cvs version with some patches in order to get the round corners. It is an ebuild for gentoo: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-465329-highlight-.html
and begun to slowly do my own recipe.
I like the alsaplayer, so I added a Music control menu in the panel and the prefs with volume control in db and speed control. For the panel, I like it minimalistic. So I have only the menu and audio panel on the left corner, the clock and the systray on the right corner, and the main panel in the center with the windows list and the pager is auto hiding. Try to do that with another wm! You can see it here: http://home.citycable.ch/monde-meilleur/linux/fvwm.html
I install FVWM-Crystal in my ubunut 6.10. It works good. After I placing fvwm-crystal.desktop in /usr/share/xsessions/, I can choose Crystal as one of the desktops in my session manager (gdm). But the problem is its name is "foo". The Name in fvwm-crystal.desktop is "Name=FVWM-Crystal". How can I change it? I don't want to use "foo" as the name of FVWM-Crystal.
I have just installed fvwm-crystal. Man! I hate the default key binding. I can do nothing now in Emacs.
You can change the Alt key for the funny windows key for the crystal key binding.
Or use Esc in emacs instead of Alt.

Groton — Town police early this morning arrested three people who they say broke into cars in the area of Pequot Avenue in the Mystic section of town.
Police said at about 2 a.m. they responded to the area and immediately apprehended one suspect. Police along with a state police K-9 searched the area and arrested two more suspects.
Police said a large amount of stolen property was recovered at the scene, indicating that several cars were involved.
As a result, Jeffrey Barnas, 18, of 23 Cross St., Westerly, was charged with conspiracy to commit third-degree burglary, larceny by possession, simple trespass and possession of narcotics.
Police also charged a 16-year-old and 17-year-old in connection with the burglaries. They were charged with interfering with police, conspiracy to commit third-degree burglary, third-degree burglary, larceny by possession and simple trespass. Their identities were not released because they are minors.
Police are asking residents who live in the area of Pequot Avenue to check their vehicles to determine if anything was stolen. They are asked to call Officer Kyle LoPriore at (860) 441-6712 with any information they have on this case.

This is an advertisement for the gun Adam Lanza used to murder 20 children and 6 adults. We need to talk about gun control and mental health - but we also desperately need a conversation about American masculinity.
For more on masculinity and mass shootings, this 1999 article from Jackson Katz and Sut Jhally is a must-read.

Zais' staff says the darndest things when they have something to hide...
Over the last two years, EdFirstSC has been empowering people who care about education. Members receive newsletters that keep them up to date on education issues and make it easy to contact policymakers.
This simple formula for change has produced astounding results...
Why would we stop a bill with a catchy name like "Read to Succeed"? Because it's a cheap, reckless knock-off of a questionable Florida program.
SC schools are at the bottom of every list. Thank goodness for Mississippi, right?
That's a quote from a House Ways & Means official who was asked about increasing school funding.
Just a few weeks later, Ways & Means approved $175 MILLION in new education spending.
You don't suppose it had anything to do with the 25,000 emails we sent, do you? Maybe it was the 500 phone calls....
SC uses an infamous phrase to describe the standard of education we will provide: "minimally adequate".
State law also includes a school funding formula. For next year, it works out to $2790 per child.
This year's funding was $778 per child BELOW that, even though we had a billion dollar surplus. A school with 700 students is missing over a half-million dollars.
A series of bills sponsored by Sen. Thurmond (R- Charleston) would expose SC teachers to public humiliation, firing without cause (and no right to an appeal). They would also strip seniority rights.
EdFirstSC welcomes Michelle Rhee to the Palmetto State.
Now go home.
A stunning avalanche of emails (THANK YOU!!!—Keep it coming!) and negative media attention has quickly moved the District through the stages of grief: Anger, Denial, & Bargaining.
Join us on Jan. 27th to help the District move to Acceptance & Letting Go..
Merit pay has been tried over and over. It's failed miserably every single time.
It suggests that teachers are holding their effort hostage and principals don't know good teaching.
Kids don't deserve to be placed between a teacher and her paycheck.

When Fairbault detectives began looking into whether Lynn Seibel sexually assaulted boys at Shattuck-St. Mary's, they traveled across the country looking for potential victims. Their work resulted in criminal charges in two states, and could spark another investigation here in Minnesota.
Gregg Meyers, an attorney with Jeff Anderson and Associates, says his firm now represents a man from Minnesota who says he was sexually abused by another teacher at Shattuck-St. Mary's when he was a freshman in the early 1980s.
Meyers says the man was 15 years old when the teacher touched him inappropriately on two separate occasions, but when the teacher tried to touch a third time, he rejected his advances.
The man says the teacher also showed him pictures of other boys at the school who he said were "special" like him. The man took that to mean they had been abused as well. The man says the teacher left the school after that year without explanation.
Fairbault Police say they've talked to the ma, too, and are deciding whether to open an investigation into his allegation; however, since the alleged incident happened over 30 years ago, they don't know if the teacher could still be charged with a crime.
"Statutes have changed in the last 32 years, so we'll have to examine what statutes are in effect," said Fairbault Police Captain Neal Pederson. "In general crime, the clock starts when the crime occurs. In criminal sexual conduct, it's when it's reported to law enforcement."
Meyers says the man didn't confide in anyone when the abuse originally happened, but did tell the school's headmaster about it when he returned to Shattuck-St. Mary's in the 1990s for volunteer training. The man claims the school never reported it to police.
Meyers says the man considered coming forward when the Jerry Sandusky scandal broke at Penn State, but it wasn't until the Seibel case broke that he decided to tell police that the problem at Shattuck-St. Mary's may be bigger than originally thought.
The school says it didn't know about the case from the 1980s, but is encouraging anyone with information to these matters to come forward.

Mmm...Hidden inside these unassuming meringue cookies is a wealth of pecans and chocolate.
Look for chocolate cookie crumbs near the graham cracker crumbs in the baking aisle of the supermarket.
Twenty crushed chocolate wafer cookies can be used in place of the chocolate cookie crumbs. To crush the wafers, place them in a plastic bag or between two pieces of waxed paper and roll with rolling pin. Measure 1/2 cup of the crushed wafers to use in the recipe.
Egg whites can be beaten to their highest volume when they are at room temperature. To bring to room temperature, place a small bowl of egg whites in a larger bowl of very warm water. Stir them gently for a few minutes.

Extra income? Be a human guinea pig
It sounds creepy, but some people recommend it.
True confession: We made some extra money in college by drinking a prodigious amount of vodka in a hospital setting. By participating in this study, we earned $200, or maybe it was 50 bucks. (The memory was probably damaged by all the brain cells we killed.)
Have you ever helped the cause of science to make extra cash? Several bloggers wrote recently that they have.
Hank of Own The Dollar, guest posting at Budget Are Sexy, said he made a quick $40 by participating in a study about vaccines. "I was given the money for about 30 minutes of my time, a brief medical questionnaire, and five small vials of blood. Not bad for a half hour's worth of 'work,'" he wrote.
Andy Hough at Tight Fisted Miser has more scoop on clinical trials. "I've done at least a dozen medical studies and for most of them I have felt no effects at all," he wrote. "The exceptions were one drug that gave me a headache and a sleeping pill which (not surprisingly) put me to sleep."
Hank also described several ways to make money by selling body parts, like plasma, eggs or sperm. Unappealing? Maybe a clinical trial is more up your alley. Hank wrote:
You can get paid to participate in studies for things such as sleep deprivation, time isolation, alcohol, caffeine, nicotine studies, exercise, diet and nutrition studies, psychology studies, the list goes on and on.
Of course there are drawbacks in all of these possibilities, readers pointed out:
- Some procedures, like donating eggs or sperm, require lots of time, screening and paperwork. As an article at MSN Money said, "It's far easier to get a date than a sperm-donor card. About 95% of men who apply don't make the cut." Plus there's a psychological hurdle we would find difficult. (We won't even discuss the black market in kidneys.)
- You may not get paid if you don't see it through to the end. "A friend of mine signed up for a study on PMS and different remedies, but she went through such horrible mood swings she couldn't finish with the testing. Thus she wasn't paid," Budgets Are Sexy reader "MK" said. Find out before you take the leap.
- Could there be insurance complications later on? That's probably worth investigating as well. Reader Ashley said it happened to friends of hers. "Their insurers have attempted to use their experiment participation as a 'pre-existing condition' to remove their liability for covering medical costs later on down the line," she wrote.
Clinical trials can be found at ClinicalTrials.gov, a Web site of the National Institutes of Health. Note: Many of the studies listed there don't accept healthy volunteers. Andy also recommended GPGP.net.
What do you think? We suspect we'd have to be in dire straits before we subjected our body to this.

My friend Justin recently asked me, "How many dates does it take for you to figure out if you want to know more about someone?" – which sort of made me pause. I hadn't thought of an arbitrary number before because I guess I always knew on date one whether or not there was a connection. Is one date enough, though?
Chemistry is such a weird and unpredictable thing. A lot of times, there are no sparks on the first date, or second date! Heck, you may not feel the boom until date four! The problem is – we usually don't wait that long for it to show up!
First dates are not everything. Perhaps we all should give our potentials a little time to "cook" to see how hot things could get. Do you think three dates is enough to know if you want to continue seeing someone?
How many dates does it take before you decide the chemistry is there or not there?
What do you like to see, think, or feel about someone to decide whether or not you two are compatible?
Happy Friday!

Oh, morning!

A first date can be make or break, run (away) or walk (to). You shouldn't be proposing, I don't believe, but a first date can say a lot.
September 7th, 2012
7:23 am
How many dates depends on the people, and what they are looking for. Unless someone does something really crazy a first date shouldn't be what you measure a person by because most of the time it's just their representative, the real person doesn't show up until around 6 months later.
September 7th, 2012
7:45 am
I'm at home today
On topic: I don't know how many dates it takes to decide if chemistry is there…or not. As it relates to chemistry, IMO it's there or not date 1 or 100. Now, for other reasons and coming to learn who a person is may be cause to call it quits but still, there can be chemistry. And just because there's chemistry, that's not necessarily to say y'all got that "thang" for making it work.
I dunno, I tend to think chemistry is more so the component for having a physical connection…initially. From there, you decide if everything else is a go. That's just me though and how I view chemistry. Don't get me wrong, I think it can be foundational but I also think it depends on how each individual view "chemistry."
September 7th, 2012

Wait…I should say I'm at home trying to decide if I'm going in or working from home… If I sit here much longer, I'm definitely working from home today

The first date usually confirms whether or not the woman is psychotic. I've been on a lot of first dates and met a lot of psychotic women. I think I have a magnetic field around me that attracts all the crazies.
September 7th, 2012
8:47 am
I think that there must be someting there on the first date, otherwise why would you go on a second? Chemistry, intrigue, something. Although, on the other side of that coin, you have people who are friends for years before realizing that their soul mate was in front of them the whole time. I guess it depends on the person.
O/T~ Seeking opinions this morning. As I have said in the past, my 8th grader is in a private school. He plays football and is very talented. The issue is, he is increasingly frustrated because his school's football team sucks. (I don't say that lightly; they REALLY suck) Yesterday night, they lost 42-0. The question is this, my son is frustrated with the thought of going on to 4 years of high school with a team that a) loses and b) doesn't seem to care that they lose. (I think it is the latter more than the former that bothers him) so he would like to transfer to another school or go back to public school. He is ADHD (which was why we chose the school to begin with and academically he is blossoming at this school). Is football (or any other extra curricular) enough to seek out a new school?

Cel – I started not to come The beau and I had a few cocktails last night so we both work up late. I must've made them just right…meaning, mixed well enough to where they don't taste strong but are strong. I don't even remember going to bed last night lol
September 7th, 2012
9:17 am
Slim – That's funny. Yeah, if you don't remember going to bed apparently they were pretty strong. At least y'all was at home. Make it strong as you can stand it…lololol You should have play hookie and whooped it up. No better day than "stealing" away for a little fun.

Comon, academics first, football second. Talented players on sorry teams still get offered scholarships, and these days, they are making it harder and harder to hide bad grades.
September 7th, 2012
9:22 am
Good morning.
I would think the first date is the deciding factor on whether you want to go on a second date. Sometimes, first dates can be nervous ones, so with a second date, a better assessment can be made on the chemistry of both parties.
September 7th, 2012

Black chick, white chick now competing for the dude chosen. He asks the black chick to dive in the pool head first (i.e. get her hair wet) and she's like no way. In stead, she's will to drop her bikini top and does it.
The white chick is willing and dives in head first…getting her hair wet. Now she's saying the black chick was classless for taking off her top on a first date (I'm agreeing). But by the same token, she's ramming her tongue down his throat.
Anywho, let's see who wins
September 7th, 2012
9:26 am
"Is football (or any other extra curricular) enough to seek out a new school?" – If he's really talented and with coaching can secure college scholarship, why not hone that skill. Just because he's on a sorry team doesn't mean scouts aren't watching him.
September 7th, 2012
9:26 am
Is football or (any other extracurricular etc ) enough (reason) to seek out a new school?
In America,proly yes!
You are not a football mum,obviously Common.
Maybe u need to look around for a school that will provide both for ur son…good football program and good academics.
Good luck!
On topic:
No,u just need one or two dates to see if there is a connection. By the third date most dudes are impatient,they want to smash and claim you or cool it.
Hey Celisea!
I was bootleg blogging at the am hour yesterday…I locked the blog doors.
Bluz kept me laughing yesterday..her naivety is just funny!

You are not a football mum,obviously Common
Ex, that's just it; I am. Hence the reason we are even HAVING this discussion.
I know that public school is not the answer. Even though we are in a excellent school district, he needs the smaller class size and individualized attention to keep his grades up. I say the same thing that S/H says, but the hubs and the boy's father say that he will need a coach that can actually hone the skill if his talent is going to continue to develop. Trying to make a decision early because if he is going to move schools, it will have to be decided by Jan or Feb at the latest. Kids are going to be the death of me!!!!
September 7th, 2012
9:36 am
What's with the chemistry thing? If you're looking for "chemistry" that just means you looking to hook up. Which is fine, if that's what you're looking for. You'll know on date #1.
If you looking for a long term relationship, don't even think "chemistry" until you get to know the person a bit. You ought to be looking for character, ambition, attitudes, direction…. all that stuff that makes a relationship work.
Gotta get your priorities in the right order. Just sayin
September 7th, 2012
9:40 am
Comon, you also have an opportunity to teach something that many of my generation learned early on, sometimes you have to take the good with the bad, and mommy and daddy aren't going to be there to save you from everything. We played on teams that sucked, didn't get picked for every sport we went out for. Did our on home work, because most of our parents couldn't help us. My statement to most that are doing pretty good, when they say I want my child to have it better than I did, is your life that messed up now, because the things you went through as a child is what made you the adult you are today!
September 7th, 2012
9:43 am
I don't think "chemistry" is necessarily something you go "looking" for. I think chemistry is either there or not. Because chemisty is present doesn't necessarily mean everything defaults to hooking up. I think that's where scruples and decorum comes into play. If you're seeking something longterm, permanent, deeper, then you don't have to jump each other's bones. You seek more, a deeper connection than the physical.
September 7th, 2012
9:46 am
Comon, will he have the same coaches in high school that he has now? And if he does change schools you have to remember the competition level goes up, and these are players that these coaches have already been honing their skills.
September 7th, 2012

Cel – Sounds like you're prepping us for a break-up. You will NOT leave us…you belong to blogsville and we WILL find you wherever you go (j/k)
September 7th, 2012
9:50 am
Celisea, true that, but the first question was how do you decide whether you want to get to know the person better. Then it jumped to chemistry. All I'm saying is forget the chemistry at first. I'm going for character. Chemistry will develop. If it doesn't, then I've made a close friend. If it does, then I've got a solid relationship. Seems like most folks are focused on the hookup.
September 7th, 2012
9:50 am
Slim – Awwww, that was sooo sweet That'll make me stay for real..lol I just need to pull back. When things (sometimes) get taken too seriously (yes, I've been guilty), then I was just thinking maybe it's time to break away. It's suppose to be light and informal yet with real thoughts and opinions and outlook from others.
September 7th, 2012

C, so how do you handle no blogging on the weekends, do you sit in the corner with the keyboard shivering? (LOL)
September 7th, 2012
9:53 am
lolalee – I'm agreeing with your 9:50. Anybody can hookup. Like my mama would say, you can find that any lampost or lampshade. If the intent is not seeking solid, I for one am not interested.
September 7th, 2012
9:54 am
You outta your mind. You seriously thinking of taking an ADHD kid who is in a solid academic environment and moving him to another school for football? So if he gets injured and can't play again, then what? You've got an ADHD kid who doesn't have a solid environment…that's how a lot of kids fall into all sorts of trouble, Get real. Academics trumps sports EVERY time, ESPECIALLY for a child with learning issues. Good grief.
September 7th, 2012

Comon, will he have the same coaches in high school that he has now?
No, but definitely the same caliber of coach. However, on the other side of that, we have invested in som very good football camps during spring break and summer for the past four years which is how his skills have continued to develop.
September 7th, 2012

lolalee~ I will not return him to public school, but there are definitely some private schools out there that have better football teams and an academic environment that is on the same level as he has now. The current school is very close to our house. If I switched him to another private school, it would take a little more finagling on the part of me and the hubs to get him to and from the extra curricular events.

lolalee – I'm agreeing with your 9:50. Anybody can hookup. Like my mama would say, you can find that any lampost or lampshade. If the intent is not seeking solid, I for one am not interested.
Or as my momma used to tell me "Anyone can give you a wet behind!"

16-year-old charged in second robbery
The same 16-year-old male arrested Sept. 23 in connection with a robbery on West Broad Street in Short Pump that day has now been charged in connection with an armed robbery that occurred at SkateNation Plus in Short Pump Sept. 20.
Henrico Police announced today that the juvenile, from Richmond, was charged with two counts of robbery, two counts of use of a firearm in commission of a felony, two counts of possession of a firearm as a minor and two counts of sexual battery, all relating to the incident in the SkateNation parking lot.
That incident took place at about 5:30 p.m. on Sept. 20. Two women were approached by the assailant, who displayed a gun, touched both women inappropriately and stole several items from them.
In the Sept. 23 incident, the teen was charged with two counts of robbery and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. Police responded Sunday afternoon to the 11100 block of West Broad Street, following the report of a robbery, and later pulled over a car at Belvidere Street near West Broad Street matching the description given by victims. The 16-year-old was the passenger in that car.

Clemson University police warned students and the community about a sexual assault that happened on campus early Saturday morning.
Police Chief Johnson Link said that at about 1 a.m. Saturday university police officers found a woman lying on the sidewalk near the Life Sciences Facility. They described the 24-year-old as unresponsive and unconscious. Emergency services were called to transport her to AnMed Hospital.
Link said doctors followed medical protocol for a sexual assault. He said she also sustained head injuries from the struggle.
When the graduate student woke up, investigators learned that she had been jogging along Cherry Road when someone came up behind her. She told investigators that she never saw the suspect.
University police are stepping up patrols across campus, especially in parking lots and in areas that students travel. Link said the campus bus system, Tiger Transit, will add buses to its routes to make sure students will not have to wait long for a ride in the dark.
Link said it has been a long time since someone was sexually assaulted on campus in this fashion. He wants students and visitors to be vigilant as they travel at night.
Students on campus Monday said the attack put them on edge.
"Initially I was shocked, I don't normally hear things like that happen around Clemson, it made me nervous because I run by myself," said jogger Elaine Payne.
Anyone who has any information about who may be responsible for this attack is asked to call Clemson University police at 864-656-2222.

Welcome to the Greater San Gabriel Chapter of CREIA
San Gabriel Valley runs along the base of the San Gabriel Mountains from Pasadena to San Dimas. The Valley is probably most famous for the annual Tournament of Roses Parade and Rose Bowl Game. Yet, the Valley is also home to the world-renowned California Institute of Technology which manages the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and to the world famous cancer research hospital, The City of Hope.
Located just a short 15 to 20 miles from downtown Los Angeles, conveniently reachable via the Gold Line light rail system, along with the 210, 110 and 710 freeways. The Valley's sites include a blend of tree-lined streets, distinctive neighborhoods, historic buildings and a vibrant cultural scene with ethnic shops and restaurants. With CREIA's presence in the Valley since 1992, the consumer has benefited from more standard home inspections being performed and a pool of more technically educated inspectors being available to them.
We can thank our Chapter President Dean Price for having started the CREIA and ASHI joint chapter in 1992. Pior to that time there were only a Los Angeles Chapter and a newly created San Fernando Chapter serving the greater Los Angeles area. The Los Angeles Chapter had tried to accommodate the West Los Angeles inspectors and San Gabriel Inspectors by having their monthly meetings at the Trax Restaurant on Sunset and later at the Firehouse 28 restaurant in downtown Los Angeles. Centralizing the meeting place just did not serve the inspectors due to traffic and parking problems and it was decided that the Los Angeles Chapter would split thus creating a West Los Angeles Chapter and the Greater San Gabriel Valley Chapter.
Dean Price, our founder, established this seventh chapter in 1992. Dean Price had a Vision. His Vision was to have a place for home inspectors to meet for education and all guests would be welcomed and included in the group. From the four members who attended the first meetings at Fanara's Italian Restaurant, the chapter has grown to over 50 members. We have changed restaurants numerous times to provide space for our growing membership. Dean Price's Vision continues to this day and we honor him with the Title of CREIA and ASHI Chapter President Emeritus.
Chapter Members Participating in the "Team Home Inspection Toolbox" in 2012
The chapter has also supported California Coalition of Home Inspectors (CCHI) over the years, many of its chapter officers have gone on to serve on statewide committees or have served on the Board of Directors. The Chapter was the first winner of the "CREIA's Chairman of Board Chapter Award".

Customer Raves & Reviews
Starfish Foldover Pockets The invitations we ordered for our wedding were absolutely perfect. We did not have time to order a sample, so I was really nervous about the quality. The paper is thick and of great quality, and the printing is bright and beautiful! I loved the convenience of being able to work on the invitations and save my work. This allowed me to work on them at my convenience and order them when I was ready. I also had a great customer service experience. I had a small computer problem when ordering the invitations and I called the customer service line and the friendly rep was able to help me right away. I would definitely recommend the pocketfold invitations!
Excellent Wedding Invitations
Starfish Foldover Pockets Our wedding invitations were all that we could ever want. We absolutely love them! The fact that we could make any changes we wanted (including creating our own colour) to our invitations was a great service that magnet street offered. I would encourage any bride or anyone at all that is looking for this type of stationery to choose magnet street..
Stunning Invitations
Starfish Rectangle Invitations I am so happy with the invitations we chose for our wedding. We just received them and I can not wait to show them off.

Our invitation suite is stunning thanks to MagnetStreet!!!

The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston identified 28 parishes Thursday that are part of the first wave of a major reorganization intended to address declining Mass attendance, financial struggles, and a shrinking number of priests.
The reorganization, to be phased in across all 288 parishes over five years, is designed to help parishes share resources. Archdiocesan officials hope the plan will reverse troubling trends by making parishes stronger, better organized, and focused on bringing more people to church.

American gets into fighting shape in bankruptcy
While these moves are encouraging, what still remains to be seen is how the new management team approaches labor negotiations.
It has been a busy month for the Fort Worth, Texas company after it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in November.
In its first move after the filing, American streamlined its senior leadership team. Two of the most notable changes were in the employee relations and flight operations departments -- areas that have been American's constant headache in the past few years. And Tom Horton -- the earlier president of AMR -- took the additional jobs of chairman and CEO.
The move is not very surprising though, as shuffling management is the first step most companies are likely to take when restructuring.
See full Trefis analysis for American Airlines here
In another move that could well define the start of overhauling the entire aging fleet, American got permission this month from a special U.S. Bankruptcy Judge in Manhattan to pursue a deal with Boeing (BA) to buy 32 planes through 2012.
American now has a pending order of new 737-800 and 737 MAX planes from Boeing, along with some A320neo jets from Airbus. American also secured permission to reject leases on some of the older aircraft. While it did not disclose the amount involved, most of this excess leased equipment is not in service and is "languishing in expensive storage space without generating any value."
While these moves are encouraging, what still remains to be seen is how the new management team approaches labor negotiations. It's the elephant in the room, and unless American can rationalize its industry-leading labor costs, it will have to fight really hard to be competitive again with legacy peers, including Delta (DAL) and United Continental (UAL), and low-cost carriers alike.
Note that the Trefis analysis for American Airlines reflects a pre-bankruptcy equity valuation for the firm and was considered cautiously, as many items, including the profitability of operations and indirect costs, could change substantially post-bankruptcy.
It's too early in the process to make assumptions on American's equity value exiting bankruptcy as the carrier will renegotiate items like its legacy-defined benefit plans, future labor contracts and debt structure.
These steps should make the airline more competitive going forward and could improve the long term outlook for the airline. Given the current uncertainty and limited information at this point, we caution investors from relying on the presented data and analysis as an accurate value of the airline going forward.

February 4: A resident requested help controlling a 9-year-old grandson who was running away from home. Officers won the Hughes Avenue foot pursuit and detained the lad. They eventually ended up having to carry him home when he refused marching orders. The youngster's grandmother and Aunt took custody of the escape artist.
February 4: A Birch Bay resident dropped off a box of items at the police station which he found out in the county. An officer identified the contents are precursors for methamphetamine production. The items were removed from the building and isolated to prevent contaminating the environment. Appropriate county personnel were contacted to assume custody of the material.
February 4: A concerned citizen reports seeing a van in the neighborhood of the 400 block of C Street, driven by a man who stops and speaks to children in the area. Officers were notified for extra patrol and the reporting party will call the next time the vehicle is seen in the area.
February 4: Dispatch reported a loose aggressive dog on Blaine Avenue. Officers canvassed the area but did not locate the critter. Extra patrols were requested.
February 4: An employee found a purse in a business' bathroom on H Street. The purse was impounded pending possible owner identification.
February 5: A business employee called to report receiving a possible counterfeit bill. The bill was examined and appears to be a valid series from the 1950s. Follow up is being made with the Secret Service to determine the note's authenticity.
February 5: An employee of the Port of Bellingham brought a bike in to the office which was abandoned at the Marina. The red boy's bike was placed into property inpound in hopes the owner can be located.
February 5: Officer was dispatched to a report of a horse roaming the street on Allan Street. On arrival the officer contacted the owner to corral their beast.
February 6: Police were dispatched to a report of a possible attempted overnight burglary at a 14th Street business. A security light bulb had been removed from a back door, and there were pry marks near the dead bolt. Extra patrol will be provided.
February 6: An anonymous person reported that a bicycle had been thrown from a car on SR543 and H Street. An Officer searched the area but was unable to locate any mangled bike remains.
February 6: Officer was dispatched to a report of a fire alarm at the Blaine middle school. Officers assisted on scene until North Whatcom units arrived and determined the alarm was caused by a faulty smoke alarm.
February 7: Officers were dispatched to a report of a commercial alarm in the 1300 block of Boblett Street. Officers arrived and found the business was secure. No call out was available. Officers cleared and will send a false alarm form to the business.
February 8: A family reported that a relative with a drug addiction problem refused to accept treatment, and had stolen thousands of dollars worth of property from the family home. Blaine officers located the man, arrested him for first degree theft, and took him into custody.
February 8: Police were dispatched to a report of an escalating verbal domestic dispute at a G Street residence after an ex-spouse had come with friends to collect some property. Words were exchanged between the parties, and the complainant felt threatened. An arriving officer got assistance from nearby Border Patrol agents and calmed everyone down. No crime had occurred and officers were ultimately able to leave without further incident.
February 8: A Blaine resident reported that he had parked his car alongside Fourth Street while attending church. After the service he discovered fresh damage to the left front bumper of his vehicle. Apparently the offending party coveted pride over honesty, as no sign of contrition or confession was left at the scene of the sin, and witnesses are lacking.
February 9: A resident on B Street requested an officer come to her home regarding a theft. Police who investigated the incident found no forced entry, and no evidence of a burglary. A small number of valuable Centennial coins were reported missing. No suspect has been identified. The victim will be completing a voluntary statement form for the theft.
February 10: A public works employee reported that a car had driven into a ditch on Peace Portal Drive, at the freeway entrance to I-5 near the south end of Blaine. Police arrived and found that the driver appeared OK, but he was speech and hearing challenged and did not read or write English. Officers located a family member who responded to the scene and closed the communication gap. Everyone learned that the crash occurred when the young man's large pet dog hopped up front to give the driver a big sloppy lick. No damage was suffered by beast, man or machine.
February 10: An officer investigated a motion alarm at a closed business on H Street. He discovered that the alarm sensor was near a large bouquet of helium-filled, heart shaped balloons. A warm breeze from the central heating buffeted the balloons, activating the alarm. No call-out was available, and a false alarm notification was issued for the heart moving emotion detection.
February 10: Officers received a report of a man sitting in a car outside a business on H Street, possibly spying on cutsomers inside late at night. The man was contacted and told officers he was there to let his dog roam. He was advised of the leash laws, and officers remained in the area until man and dog departed.

Last month, Pink canceled a concert in Birmingham, England because she was sick, and last week, it was announced that the show wouldn't be rescheduled. Some fans weren't happy about that and made their opinions known, which caused Pink to post an open letter calling them out for questioning her decision.
Explaining that she had "absolutely no choice in the matter" when it came to canceling her show, Pink writes that she "could not get my sick ass on stage because of an ear infection and chest infection all at the same time," and adds, "and even a doctor told me I could not go on stage whether I wanted to or not."
She continues, "I sincerely apologize, AGAIN, for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Sincerely. I actually rode by the venue, and saw some of you in line, and there was not a...thing I could do about any of it. Except cry. My heart was absolutely broken."
Then, the singer addresses those fans who doubted just how sick she was, declaring, "I am a human being, therefore I am able to catch illness. It is beyond my control- and I can't apologize for that. And you know what I've been performing through the last week? ROTA virus. Look it up. I challenge any one of you to do what I do while sick with that. You couldn't do it." Rotavirus causes vomiting, diarrhea and low-grade fever.
Pink continues: "The fact that I don't get the benefit of the doubt from you saddens me. There is no way I can make up this date. There isn't a way. And for any of you that believe in me, please know we did everything we could to try to make it happen. Everything....To those of you that expect and feel entitled to perfection; Have a look at my track record- please- in general- for tours past. I have an incredible record. I do not cancel."
Pink goes on, "I go on stage and our my f**king heart and body out on that stage. I ruin my body and my vocal cords," all for the sake of putting on "the best show on that I can, that any human being can... I don't stop until I know you're happy.
Pink then admits that, based on the hate mail she's received, she feels as though if she gets sick again, she'll now have to worry about fans "turning on me like rabid dogs and questioning the moral fabric of my character." As a result, Pink has this message for those so-called fans:
"Kindly kiss my entire almost-back-to-healthy-ass." She signs the note, "Love always, Alecia the human also known as p!nk."
