Spring Cleaning Tips for Busy People
Although we love the idea of spring cleaning, in our home we don't really do the whole shebang. It's not that we don't clean in spring—it's just rare that we get around to all those extra jobs like deep-cleaning the refrigerator coils and vacuuming the ceiling vents, but we do try to check a few small tasks off the list to mark the season.
This is pretty much our modified, CliffsNotes version of the Apartment Therapy Cure, a more comprehensive, eight-week program that moves you toward a healthier home. We've done the whole program before, but as we pare down and simplify our stuff, we've continued to repeat parts of the Cure in small, seasonal cycles.
- Weight loss. Homes are like people—they tend to gain a few pounds over the winter. Around this time of year, we spend an hour or two scanning our home for anything we can donate to the Salvation Army—the bigger, the better.
- Window treatment. In spring, opening the windows reminds us that they need a good cleaning. We don't do them all at once, but take on just a couple whenever the mood strikes. For an effective, cheap window cleaner, mix one cup of white vinegar per gallon of water. To cut the vinegar smell, we sometimes add a dash of lemon juice.
- Quick fix. New Year's may be the traditional time for resolutions, but spring cleaning is a second chance to start over. To get that "hey, I actually followed through and finished something" feeling, fix one thing in your home that's been driving you crazy. A broken doorknob, a leaky faucet–whatever it is, it should be small enough that you can fix it yourself. For repair tips to get you started, click here.

Service the central air cooling system...switch out the pine cones for seashells...clean the garden and add annuals...clean the base boards and framed items.
I like the idea of cleaning and repairing for new year's!
As a teacher with summers off, I do summer cleaning instead of spring cleaning. I go through all my closets, cabinets, storage bins, and files for a big purge. I clean under and behind furniture, wash all the drapes and blinds, give the carpets a more thorough cleaning than usual, dust the fans, etc. I also do mini versions of this over spring break and Christmas break.
Clean out the wood stove, or it gets damp and rusty...
Go through the drawers in the kitchen. They're usually quite nasty with crumbs and things from the countertops...also a time to purge those gadgets you thought you couldn't live without. What was that blue plastic pointy thing for anyway?
Invite your mother for a visit. Suddenly, the imperative to clean is overwhelming.... be careful though, or could overflow into new towel and bed-linen purchases as well.
Like Cathie, we do winter cleaning. I have three weeks off after New Year's, so I tend to do big cleaning then--lots of time and not much to do outside.
agree with thorndale
cleaning is a constant, year round task which is never ending. As soon as ive just donated a tonne of stuff to the salvation army, i will come home & find something to donate next time. Looking for my blender which i hardly use will probably result in me cleaning out my kitchen cabinets. The children spilling a drink on the floor generally leads to a full dust, vacuum, steam mop of the entire house. Looking for that hammer i hardly use normally leads me to sweeping out and reorganising the laundry/storage room. sounds like a lot but i couldnt imagine just doing a big clean up a few times a year.
Thank God for thorndale and illestwifey. I get so tired of all the people who maintain they don't have time to clean. Or, who claim they have such busy social lives that they can't pick up a dust cloth. They are just lazy or disorganized, or both.
Everyone has time, as these two have pointed out. Whether you work or go to school, have children or not, have pets or not, entertain a lot or not. No one has to live with dirt and mess, unless he/she wants to. And, if you want to, just admit it.
I tried the vinegar/water solution to clean my glass...the water makes it streaky. I think if you just use the vinegar it should work, without streaks. I'm very into 'green cleaning' :)
I've come to realize baking soda and white vinegar solve most of my cleaning problems. I use them for the kitchen sink, toilet (& bathroom in general), counters...cookware, glass...
Nothing works better and I'm not dumping horrible chemicals down the drain.
Oh and castile soap!!

Some people use statistics to try to figure out their chances of getting cancer or of being cured. Statistics show what happens with large groups of people. Because no two people are alike, statistics can't be used to know or predict what will happen to a particular person.
These are statistics from the American Cancer Society about Kaposi sarcoma (KS):
About 6 out of 1 million people in the general U.S. population get KS each year.
In the U.S., KS occurs more frequently in men than in women and rarely in children.
In the past, one in two people with HIV was at risk for developing KS. That number has now dropped due to improvements in treatment for HIV/AIDS.
Organ transplant recipients can also get KS. About one out of 200 people who have transplants in the U.S. gets KS, primarily due to previous infection with the Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus.

Managing Diabetes & Holiday Sweets
Posted Date: 11/21/2012
Author: Kristy Warren
Holidays are a time for tradition, and food is a loving part of that tradition. For many of us, the holidays are just not the holidays without our favorite pie. When factoring diabetes into the equation, holiday favorites can become a bit trickier, but are still manageable!
The key to managing your diabetes is planning. Rather than worrying about eating too much or too little, focus on managing your carbohydrates. Carbohydrate-heavy foods affect your glucose level (blood sugar). For example, one piece of pumpkin pie translates to two or three servings of carbohydrates (roughly half of your carbohydrate needs in a meal).
These helpful tips will work to minimize the effect of this holiday favorite:
• Cut the pie into ten pieces instead of six or eight. This portion control trick means fewer carbohydrates per piece.
• Enjoy a small piece of pie at least two hours after the meal; it will be less likely to affect glucose levels when not accompanied by other carbohydrates.
• If you would like to plan the pie as part of your meal, avoid loading up on other carbohydrates, such as potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, or corn.
• To lower the fat and carbohydrate content of your slice of pie, eat the filling instead of the crust.
• Sugar-free is not a get-out-of-jail-free card. Using a sugar substitute in pie, such as Stevia or Splenda, will not eliminate carbohydrates. Some commercial sugar-free pies have even more carbohydrates than regular pie because of what is substituted.
• Enter your meal just a little hungry (versus feeling starved) and take your time. Conversing with friends and family helps everyone pace themselves.
For more tips and information on diabetes management, contact your primary care provider or your local Laurel Health Center.

Diary of a Droid Jedi - Star Wars Conquest, part 6
This is the final part of our canon-destroying playthrough of Star Wars Conquest, a mod for sandbox RPG Mount & Blade.
Last week's series of successful battles against the Empire was met by the realization that Star Wars Conquest seemingly has no end. In 20-some hours of play, I've learned that almost no amount of slaughtered Stormtroopers will significantly impact the universe. Named characters can't die, captured planets rarely stay captured, prisoners always eventually escape, and climbing the political ranks of the Rebel Alliance mainly involves playing tax collector for Mon Mothma and Obi-Wan.

[QUOTE=YellowSubmarine]Your comments about those who dislike this war about the troops are propaganda bull **** and wrong.
One can support the troops, value their lives, the lives of their families, pray each night for their safe return, cry at each death and still feel this war is wrong and the government who sent them criminal.
Your inability to see this speaks highly of your ability to grasp the complex nature of the situation.
each and every man and woman killed in this war have their face shown nightly on the news, in the papers, it is far more real than you might think. We do not sugar coat death and the media does not bury it, it is front page whenever a death occurs.
I morn each and every one in ways you might not understand, yet still I do not support their mission or the reasons they were sent nor Bush who ulitmately sent them. They have my prayers and thoughts dispite the crap you spew when this war is commented upon.
Have you never loved anyone, yet not supported their actions at a particular time?
What these men and women need is for the government to clearly state why they are there, what sent them there, and what is the plan for their safe return. Thus far the answers to those questions I posed change monthly, weekly and daily in some cases. These people deserve better. They at least need to know if they are going to die, what the hell is it is for?
The war on Terror? That statement alone is Bush Propaganda, as there was no link to the initial terrorist attacks and the current war.
The answers will come in time, but thousands more will die. There is nothing concrete about it. Yet some still want to black and white it with if you do not support the war, your against the troops. That is the only way I guess for those who support the war to rationalize the thousands of deaths with what is actually happening.[/QUOTE]
sure dum[u]bma[/u]ri[u]n[/u]e
just because you dont know what troops die for
doesnt mean its not worth it
anyone who doesnt is a fool
so, what do the victims of terror die for?
and no ones more of a propagandist than
the MSM & like minded freaks like you-youd make tokyo rose
and lord haw-haw proud
deaths are published/publicized to tug at lib* heartstrings
funny thing you never read about the deaths caused by
the enemy
its like a cleanup crew sanitized the place-
like it never even happened
but theyre there just the same
or how many of the scum weve taken out
you surely dont support the troops or cry for them
but then again maybe you do....the troops of al qaeda,
iran, syria, and north korea that is

Education and marriage
Dorothy Crowfoot was the eldest of four sisters whose parents, John and Molly Crowfoot, worked in North Africa and the Middle East in colonial administration and later as archaeologists. Sent to England for their education, the girls spent much of their childhood apart from their parents. But it was their mother who especially encouraged Dorothy to pursue the passionate interest in crystals that she first displayed at age 10. Educated at a coeducational, state-funded secondary school in the small town of Beccles, Suffolk, Dorothy fought to be allowed to study science along with the boys. She succeeded and was accepted in 1928 to read for a degree in chemistry at Somerville College, University of Oxford. As an undergraduate, she was one of the first to study the structure of an organic compound by using X-ray crystallography.
Crowfoot moved to the University of Cambridge in 1932 to carry out doctoral research with British physicist John Desmond Bernal, who was to be a lifelong influence. In his laboratory, she extended work that he had begun on biological molecules, including sterols (the subject of her thesis), and helped him to make the first X-ray diffraction studies of pepsin, a crystalline protein. She was also highly receptive to his strongly pro-Soviet views and belief in the social function of science. Offered a temporary research fellowship at Somerville, one of Oxford's few colleges for women, she returned there in 1934 and remained until her retirement in 1977. (In the late 1940s the future prime minister Margaret Thatcher was one of her students.) Crowfoot established an X-ray laboratory in a corner of the Oxford University Museum of Natural History (better known for its dinosaur skeletons and mineral collections) and almost immediately began work taking X-ray photographs of insulin.
In 1937 she married the left-wing historian Thomas Hodgkin, who was then teaching adult-education classes in mining and industrial communities in the north of England. As his health was too poor for active military service, he continued this work throughout World War II, returning on weekends to Oxford, where his wife remained working on penicillin. They had three children, born in 1938, 1941, and 1946. Thomas Hodgkin subsequently spent extended periods of time in West Africa, where he was an enthusiastic supporter and chronicler of the emerging postcolonial states. Following an infection after the birth of her first child, Dorothy Hodgkin developed chronic rheumatoid arthritis at age 28. This left her hands swollen and distorted, yet she continued to carry out the delicate manipulations necessary to mount and photograph the tiny crystals, smaller than a grain of salt, that she used in her studies.

Maestro costs more and other things.

Can someone explain why the AA will not accept Maestro payments for European Cover? I should have known something was untoward when on telephone renewal in 2011 I was told that they would not accept Maestro, only credit card payment. I subsequently found out what a minefield continuous payment is on a credit card. It took numerous phone calls, emails and I even resorted to the AA's twitter page I was so desperate to get their fingers out of my money. The thing is, unlike a direct debit, YOU do not have the right to cancel the payment only the company you allow to have access can stop the payments. So if they don't get things right they could take money from your card even if you cancel the card. If you don't believe me just have a BING.
Just joined Brittania rescue for European cover and £130 for credit card and £135 for Maestro with no automatic renewal on the Maestro. Weird!

I'm still in bandages with several therapy sessions left to go, but I made it back from CES 2006 alive. For those who didn't go (and it seems like most of you did), the show was huge. Think Comdex during its heyday, just bigger. I went on the cut-rate special, which meant taking a cheap flight via US Airways and staying in a house with some of InfoWorld Senior Contributing Editor Brian Chee's buddies, who turned out to all be Jesuit priests. Fun bunch of guys -- and amazing drinkers, too. (Padre, thanks again for the berth.)
I'll be blogging about the coolest business-oriented discoveries I made at CES on the SMB IT blog, because just like the show itself, not everything can be covered in one session. So this column is devoted to Microsoft's CES showing and what that might mean for the rest of us in the enterprise trenches.
Bottom line: not that much outside of the HD-DVD and Blu-Ray debate. Otherwise, Microsoft was mostly showcasing technologies we already knew about, notably the Xbox 360, the latest Windows XP Media Center Edition, and, of course, Vista. Lots of Vista. None of these had anything new to offer specific to CES. Bill Gates' keynote was the expected coupling of "great stuff we have now" with a much lengthier oratory on "what we'll have tomorrow." The only parts of this speech that weren't mostly vapor were the content deals announced with DirecTV, MTV, and Verizon.
One technology that Microsoft did revive, however, is SPOT. In case you missed it (and many did), this is the Smart Personal Object Technology that Microsoft hyped in 2002, when SPOT was just emerging from Microsoft Research. The technology revolves around adding chip and software smarts to everyday devices, such as watches, pens, clocks, and similar personal appliances. Since 2002, it languished around an ill-defined plan to market MSN watches, and most of us thought we'd heard the last of it.
This CES, however, Microsoft pushed SPOT out into the world again showing not only new versions of the MSN watch concept but a new Regional Weather Station from Oregon Scientific designed for the desktop. This weather clock takes local data, such as temperature and humidity, and combines it with data pulled from MSN's Weather service. You then get a detailed display of local weather conditions both inside and out, including things like indoor air quality and upcoming weather warnings. All this for about $200. Microsoft says there will be several more similar SPOT devices offered during 2006. Personally, I'm hoping for a pair of SPOT-enabled glasses that display the names of people I'm looking at via facial recognition. That way, I won't have to read that Mega Memory book.

Admitting Depression Is The First Step To Recovery
Well after what has seemed to be an eternity, I have decided to crawl out of my off-season hole and get back into the real world. I apologize to my co-writers and to our Lone Star Struck fans for not blogging about our Cowboys. Ever since that loss to the Vikings, I have been in, what I did not want to believe, a depressed state of mind. I have finally realized that loss affected me more than I thought it did. I said right after the loss, just like most of us did, its ok we got our first playoff win in 12 years. We had a great season and this season was a step forward. While all of that is true, that loss devastated me. Not because it was such a great season and I know we have the team to go all the way, but because the way we lost that game.
We were the better team going into that game and EVERYONE knew it. The Cowboys were FINALLY getting the credit they deserved. A stout defense, an offensive line that protected and made holes for 3 GREAT running backs. A TRUE CONTENDER! I do not know what happened that dreadful day but I am now admitting it is eating me apart from the inside out. That is all I can think about and the only way to get back to myself is to write about it.
As for the upcoming season. Free agency has just started and what an active season it is. The SECOND and maybe even third best defensive end in the league, Julius Peppers, has gone to Chicago. Of course the first being Demarcus Ware and second Anthony Spencer. Although I think we might all agree that Spencer needs a year or two more experience! With all the free agents out there and all the teams that need help in their areas, I have not heard much talk about the Cowboys needs. To me, that means we don't have any real "needs". We have what we need to take this team to the next level. We are a championship team.
Don't feel bad buddy……took a while for me to pull out of it too, and I STILL feel like crap about it. My MIL (who isn't a football fan) was here during regular season and claimed that "we wasted a whole day on football" one sunday. My reply was "If it's a win for us, it wasn't a wasted day." Here comes the playoffs, and my SIL is a purple people eater fan. All of a sudden, here comes my MIL in full support of grandpa…..talk about a slap in the face.
I haven't spoken to her since LOL
So hang in there. All we can do is hope that Jerry makes the right decisions, that our guys stay healthy and out of trouble, and wait for the next event. 44 days or so til the Draft, right?? Keep your head up!
One thing I learned being a Cowboy fan is that it is like a marriage. You take the good, bad & ugly. The lost to the Vikings was bad. They should have played better. It does hurt, but our Cowboys will get right back up & keeping moving forward. Right now, everyone is frustrated because it has been awhile since we have been to the superbowl. This next season I have STRONG feelings we will be there. Hang in there. You will see it happen!!! GO COWBOYS!!!

text: Measured upwelling radiances from Nimbus-7 SBUV, seven NOAA SBUV/2 and the AURA-OMI instruments have been used to calculate the 340 nm Lambertian Equivalent Reflectivity (LER) of the Earth from 1979 to 2011 after applying a new common calibration. The 340 nm LER is highly correlated with cloud and aerosol cover because of the low surface reflectivity of the land and oceans (typically 2 to 6 RU, where 1 RU = 0.01 = 1.0%) relative to the much higher reflectivity of clouds plus aerosols (typically 10 to 90 RU). Because of the nearly constant seasonal and long-term 340 nm surface reflectivity, the 340 nm LER can be used to estimate changes in cloud plus aerosol amount associated with seasonal and interannual variability and decadal climate change. The annual motion of the Intertropical Convergence Zone, episodic El Nino Southern Oscillation ENSO, and latitude dependent seasonal cycles are apparent in the LER time series. LER trend estimates from 5° zonal average and from 2° × 5° latitude × longitude time series show that there has been a global net decrease in cloud plus aerosol reflectivity. The decrease in global cos2 (latitude) weighted average LER from 60° S to 60° N is 0.79 ± 0.03 RU over 33 yr, corresponding to a 3.6 ± 0.2% change in LER. Based on energy balance partitioning (Trenberth et al., 2009) this corresponds to an increase of 2.7 W m−2 of solar energy reaching the Earth's surface (an increase of 1.4% or 2.3 W m−2) absorbed by the surface, which is partially offset by an increase in longwave cooling to space. Most of the decreases in cloud reflectivity occur over land, with the largest decreases occurring over the US (−0.97 RU decade−1), Brazil (−0.9 RU decade−1), and Central Europe (−1.35 RU decade−1). There are reflectivity increases near the west coast of Peru and Chile (0.8 ± 0.1 RU decade−1) over parts of India, China, and Indochina, and almost no change over Australia. The largest Pacific Ocean change is −2 ± 0.1 RU decade−1 over the central equatorial region associated with ENSO. An area in Central Greenland shows a decrease in reflectivity of −0.3 ± 0.03 RU decade−1 caused by cloud and possible surface changes.

NOM's Thomas Peters: "It's Not the Business of Corporations to Define Marriage." We Minnesotans Disagree
EXTRA! EXTRA! June 5 Poll Shows MN Marriage Amendment Support Sinking; Independents Voting No
Independent pollsters Public Policy Polling has new poll results showing support for the Marriage Amendment sinking among Minnesota Independents. Republicans and Democrats are almost equally divided by wide margins. But Independents polled by PPP now oppose the amendment 54% to 37%.
I noticed that Minnesotans aged 45 and under oppose the amendment 60% to 37%, which makes me think just how important it's going to be to get them to the ballot box this November.
I also can't help but think the ad wars are just beginning. The fight will be expensive, and I hope you'll consider giving, again, to Minnesotans United for All Families.
Voices of Active Duty Military in Support of Gay Marriage
Say what you will about the Minnesota Marriage Amendment: I haven't heard many voices the last 20 years against members of the military, straight or gay, who've risked their lives or died fighting America's wars.
If you've been to an airport the last 10 years you've likely been moved by homecomings of deployed troops greeting their families. Call me a sexist, but there's something especially touching about moms returning home to their children after serving abroad in a war zone.
What Americans don't feel for the folks in the military and their families, whether straight or gay?
If you've got someone active-duty or a veteran in your family who's undecided on the Minnesota Marriage Amendment, please have them read the articles in Outserve. Here's excerpts from a pair of many well-written articles about our military members and their families:
From "Faces of Our Families," by David Small (p. 25):
Gay and lesbian families proudly support their military partners, fathers and mothers today without federal recognition of the social contracts. No matter people's religion or moral beliefs, these are real families because they support one another have chosen to support one another and have chosen to support their service member's call to duty. It's time for the United States to recognize their sacrifice too.
From "Gay, Married and Deployed: Jipe and Thom's Story" (p. 41), by Sergeant First Class Jipe DeKoe, currently deployed to Badghis Province, Afghanistan, and married to Thomas Kostura in East Hampton, NY:
My greatest fear is something bad happing to Thom while I'm deployed. Unlike my fellow (read: straight) married service members, I can't expect to be granted emergency leave to go be with him. He cannot be added to my health care, receive married Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) or access any military base.
I am proud to be a U.S. soldier. I am proud of my husband and his decision to face these challenges with me, especially while I'm deployed. The past year has strengthened my faith in the military and the support it provides families. Thom and I both understand that we have a long fight ahead before we receive equal treatment as a couple, but we are proud to be at the tip of the spear.Photo courtesy Wikimedia.org.
Why This Father's Day I May Just Send My Kids to JCPenney to Buy My Whitey-Tighties
Speaking of the Minnesota Marriage Amendment: As someone who buys one or two articles of clothing a year, I'm a clothes merchant's nightmare. My son quit going shopping with me years ago because I spend my time complaining about the goofy crap they sell. And did you see the Christmas sales at Toys 'R' Us last July for stuff for Christmas 2013? I know it's never too early, but really?
Still, a guy does need his new whitey-tighties every few years. For the latest fashions I like to stroll the stylish aisles of Costco. The men's undergarment department is conveniently located across the aisle from the Edward Casket or 440-roll pack of Viva paper towels. Unfortunately, the undies at Costco come in packages of 18 dozen, and we're short on storage space at our house.
Well, listen up, JCPenney: You have my gotkes business now.
The department store chain has responded to the hapless Million Mom boycott for hiring that admitted homo-thespian Ellen DeGenerate with a new Father's Day ad featuring—get this—a pair of dads playing with their kids.
Their own kids. As in, a couple playing with their kids.
Here's what the ad copy says:
First Pals: What makes Dad so cool? He's the swim coach, tent maker, best friend, bike fixer and hug giver — all rolled into one. Or two.
Shocking, right? Next thing you know, they'll have TV commercials featuring—and I'm not making this up—real live African Americans selling stuff.
Still: Why on Earth, Ms. Kersten, Would You Deny God's Love to Two Loving People?
Katherine Kersten published another diatribe in today's StarTribune against the Minnesota Marriage Amendment. The piece scored high on the Official Marriage Amendment Bingo Card. In essence, Kersten argued, if we allow gay marriage, it will lead to marriages between three people, etc., etc.
And, she wrote, "Children will suffer."
I attended my pal Laurel's lovely June wedding yesterday to her lovely pal Charlie, in lovely Como Park. Yes, each is decidedly heterosexual. Each was previously married, her to the father of her two children and The Wrong Guy in Just So Many Ways, and Charlie to a woman whom he loved but who left him a widower and father of two children.Charlie is a St. Paul cop, a guy with pretty much the hardest job in Minnesota. At times his job is to pick up the pieces—literally—at a crime scene.
Sometimes the pieces are St. Paul kids.
Thank God he has Laurel's shoulder to cry on at night. Literally.
If you are 100% opposed to anyone getting divorced, that's your prerogative. You have biblical support:
"It was also said, 'Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.' But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery" (Matthew 5:31-32).
Still, half the population disagrees with you at a rather personal level.
As far as Charlie goes, though, "a marriage shall be considered valid only if the wife is a virgin. If the wife is not a virgin, she shall be executed" (Deut 22:13-21).
All of which is beside the point, Ms. Kersten.
Write what you will, but why on earth would you withhold God's love on two good people and their children when the couple is so madly in love with each other—just because they are not heterosexual like Laurel and Charlie?
How would the children suffer?
At long last, Ms. Kersten: Have you no decency?
Footnote: The huge crowd who attended a fundraiser for Minnesotans United at Congregation Shir Tikvah in Minneapolis last night disagrees with you, too, Katherine.
In Landslide Vote, Conservative Jewish Group Goes on Record in Support of Same-Sex Marriage
Gut Shabbos, Minnesota! It looks like the Conservative Jewish Movement has joined the traditionally more liberal Reform Movement and is now officially sanctioning same-sex marriage.
Amichai Lau-Lavi yesterday offered an analysis* of the vote on the responsum, or written decision, by the Committee on Jewish Laws and Standards of the Conservative Movement at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York. Thirteen rabbis were in favor, and one abstained.
Back in February the Minnesota Rabbinical Association, made up of 35 Conservative and Reform rabbis and 15 synagogues and groups, signed a statement in opposition to the Minnesota Marriage Amendment.
*An "analysis" for us Jews means Mr. Lau-Levi posed several thoughtful questions about how best to interpret the responsum.Congregants outside of Tifereth B'nai Jacob Synagogue in North Minneapolis dance in reaction to the decision by the CJLS to support gay marriage ceremonies.

EXTRA! EXTRA! DoMA Ruled Unconstitutional by U.S. Court of Appeals
The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston ruled today that the Defense of Marriage Act (DoMA) is unconstitutional because it discriminates against gay couples.
Hey, no shit.
I just had a flashback to a backyard fundraiser for Paul Wellstone about 10 years ago over at some friends' house in Mendota Heights. This was during his re-election campaign, a few months before he died in the plane crash in Eveleth. Like half of Minnesota, I had known Paul on a first-name basis for about 20 years, since before he ran for and lost the election for state auditor.
He asked for hardball questions at the fundraiser, memorable also because some uninvited kid with a video camera and pimples was there filming the event on the behalf of the senator's Republican opponent's campaign.
Anyway, I remember Wellstone saying at the time—pretty much not for public consumption—that he flat-out blew it by voting for the Defense of Marriage Act.
Well, I just did some digging and saw this from the obituary in the Progressive magazine, which quoted Wellstone in his autobiography The Conscience of a Liberal:
What troubles me is that I may not have cast the right vote on DOMA. I might have rationalized my vote by making myself believe that my honest position was opposition. This vote was an obvious trap for a senator like me, who was up for reelection. Did I convince myself that I could gleefully deny Republicans this opportunity? … When Sheila and I attended a Minnesota memorial service for Mathew Shepard, I thought to myself, "Have I taken a position that contributed to a climate of hatred?" … I still wonder if I did the right thing.
You didn't do the right thing on DoMA, Paul. But you inspired a lot of people to do the right thing since then.

Why not just connect to your existing file servers?
We're about to setup a separate Mac only network which will have no connection with our existing Windows setup. I was wondering if anyone else had set something like this up and could offer some advice.
Our biggest worry is storage for user home directories. We are leaning towards a NAS device but researching this shows that there can be some issues. What would be the recommendation? Something that will work well and will allow set up of automated home folders and permissions via Profile Manager.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Why not just connect to your existing file servers?
Not had problems in the past with SMB shares. I would look at fixing the core issue than a work around.
I'd agree with @FN-GM - our Macs connect to our SMB shares absolutely fine with no issues. OSX 10.5 through to 10.8.
Check that your clients are up to date though - we did have some performance issues with some versions of 10.5.x and 10.7.x...
Exactly... why make life complicated with more stuff to manage?
Shouldn't be any issues.
My Macs access the files on my NetApp SAN with no issues.
Just bind your macs to AD and they'll connect to the home drive as specified in the user account properties.
We use AD and bind to the SMB shares and we did notice horrific delays. After much, much searching it all seemed to be on one Windows 2003 server. Since the users have migrated to a newer 2008 Server the performance is fine. We redirect ~tmp to the local drive for better performance and it seems to be fine.
Never did found out what was wrong with that 2003 server!
It really depends for what purpose you are getting macs?
If for DV and Music, then YOU MUST EDIT LOCALLY. FCP and Logic do not play nice with files across *ANY* network. Sure it might work ok... but sometimes it wont.
Our method involves software as part of the mac costs: Student use only one machine through out the year, they work locally, but have a connection to the Windows network through ExtremZ-IP to access their Windows home folder for Word docs etc. Magic Triangle for authentication. The macs backup to a large cheap firewire box attached to the mac server.
Pretty bullet proof. No complaints about performance, or files and folders or applications crashing in the two years it has been running. (10.6 FWIW, 10.7 was badly broken when we were implementing)
We run Sibelius and Logic on them and they're fine across the network - apart from the fact Sibelius takes longer to 'find' the license server on a mac than it does on a windows PC- but only for the first run of the day.
Sounds like you need to check your DNS for forward and reverse lookups. There's no reason why a Mac should be any slower at accessing SMB shares or discovering Sib licence servers. Ours aren't.
Been through all that. Dns all working fine and everything resolves instantly with nslookup and dig etc. It only sib7 that has the problem and that's as buggy as hell anyway.

Able to take a freeze, hardy kale supplies fresh garden greens well into fall/early winter
Posted by Jamie Oberdick on 10/28 at 08:15 AM
Kale is a superstar in the fall garden. The plant is tough as nails, able to take some very cold temperatures. In fact, myself and many other gardeners have harvested kale from under the snow.
Along with its toughness, kale has many other good properties. It's very easy to grow, can grow in part shade, and is quite tasty. It is best after a couple of good frost/freezes, which give the leaves a sweet flavor and cuts down on the bitterness.
There are many varieties of kale, and here are a few of my favorites:
- Lacinato, aka dinosaur kale, black palm kale, tuscan kale, cavolo nero: A beautiful kale that features long, bumpy leaves that grow up a long stem, making it look almost like a palm tree as you harvest leaves from the bottom of the stem up. This kale is a traditional ingredient in minestrone soup. There are now varieties that feature purple stems, such as rainbow Tuscan kale, which are striking garden plants.
- Blue curled scotch kale: This kale has blue-green, crinkled leaves that have a fantastic nutty taste. An easy kale to grow that offers high yields that also seems to be resistant to insects. If you harvest the leaves, new ones will replace it even in autumn.
- Russian red kale: Oak-shaped leaves on red stems makes this kale a good one to plant in an ornamental garden. The flavor is also good as well, and this variety is an excellent choice for kale chips due to its broad leaves.
What to do with kale? You can saute it in olive oil and garlic, make kale chips by roasting the leaves flat on a cookie sheet, and use in soups. I personally enjoy this recipe:
Kale with sesame seeds
About 1 1/2 lbs kale, leaves removed from tough stems
Olive oil
2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup white wine
1/4 cup chicken or vegetable broth
salt and pepper to taste
2-3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup sesame seeds, toasted
Toast sesame seeds in small frying pan until lightly browned, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
Mince garlic and add to about 2-3 tablespoons hot oil, saute garlic just until soft.
Keep heat at medium, add broth and wine, then add kale. Toss kale to coat.
Cover and cook until liquid has disappeared, stirring occasionally.
Season with salt and pepper, add balsamic vinegar and sesame seeds, and toss.
Serve hot. Goes well with pork and beef.

On most highways there is a speed limit of between 55 and 75 mph, but Texas SH130 toll road near Austin, TX is known as the "fastest highway in America," thanks to its 85 mph speed limit. This is where Hennessey decided to push itsZL1 HPE700 package to the limits.
Of course, this means far above the speed limit imposed by Texas legislators. The ZL1 managed to hit an impressive top speed of 203 mph, 118 mph above the posted limit. The HPE700 package uses a supercharger, camshaft upgrade and high-flow cylinder heads that increases the 6.2-liter supercharged V-8 engine's output to an impressive 700 horsepower at 6,300 rpm - up from the standard 580 horsepower.
Please remember that this test was made on closed roads and with a professional driver behind the wheel of the ZL1, so please do not try this yourself!

Beyoncé Gets Bleached; Gwyenth Talks Fragrance Fascination; And More…
Gwyneth Paltrow may be the face of Hugo Boss Nuit Pour Femme, but she's not a one flacon kind of gal when it comes to fragrance. "I believe in a wardrobe of perfumes," explains Paltrow. "I probably have around 50 at home, some I just like for the bottle, some I wear all the time; but whatever I choose, it has to make me feel feminine." [Telegraph]
Revealed: Helen Mirren's much-discussed BAFTA pink hair was inspired by reality TV! "I'd been watching America's Top Model, which I'm obsessed by, and this girl had her pink hair and I noticed because it came out really quickly. So there she is with really pink hair, and then five days later it's all gone. So I thought that would be cool, I might have a go at that." [VF]
Ms. Mirren isn't the only one experimenting with hair color these days. A frequently flaxen Beyoncé has gone platinum in a new string of promos for her upcoming Mrs. Carter tour. Like most things involving the international pop superstar, it suits her. [Daily Mail]

(WMC-TV) - A Mid-South family desperate to get their pet beagle back home hired a search and recovery team.Beth Lee hired a Kentucky team that specializes in finding missing persons. In certain cases, the team will help search for missing animals, like Sofi.Jennifer Jordan Hall, a Harvard Law School graduate, now dedicates her time to help law enforcement agencies search for missing people.Hall's team helped search for victims after a massive tornado in Joplin, Missouri in May 2011."We use scent specific dogs to find missing person, and at times, search for missing dogs under special circumstances," said Hall.
Lee has been searching for Sofi, her tri-colored beagle, for nearly a month after burglars ransacked her Cooper Young home and left the door open."I still feel like Sofi's alive," said Hall.After hearing success stories, Lee contacted Hall who traveled to Memphis with her terriers, Remy and Scott, to track down Sofi."From sun up to sun down, the dogs followed her trail," said Lee.Lee said Hall's two terriers independently tracked down Sofi's scent to an abandoned house at the corner of Barksdale and Felix. The scent stopped at the vacant house. Lee said that is where the search went cold.After seeing the success story of Kapone, lost and found after six months, Lee said she found new hope."I cried when I saw the news articles," she said. "I have to feel that way, I have to know that because we have to keep looking for her."Hundreds of flyers have been posted and Lee is now offering a reward."We haven't listed a specific dollar amount, but I can assure you that Sofi is far more valuable to me and my family than to anyone else," said Lee.
If you have information regarding the whereabouts of the 25 pound beagle contact 901-268-3954.

Many people would have heard more about Sir Stanley Matthews but judges of the time often said that Sir Tom Finney was an even better player. It was high praise indeed.
Sir Tom had wonderful talent as a winger, or indeed as a central striker, as we call them these days but a centre forward as he would have said.
He made lots of goals and scored plenty of goals. He was a one-team man at Preston North End and he had a job as well. He was a plumber and known as the Preston plumber. His reputation, both as a footballer and a man, was top class.
I met him a few times, obviously a well after his playing days, but you could not ask for a more modest man of his talent. He goes down quite properly as one of the great British players of the 20th century.
His biggest quality was his humility. To get him to talk about how good he was, when I was a young reporter, was quite difficult. I did see him play, through very young eyes, and he was a great of the time and should be remembered as one.
I don't think he has ever lost his position. He was not swallowed up by history. His skill was such that generations remembered him even though they had not seen him play. It is sad news but he had a very good run.
It was a golden time after the Second World War. There were huge attendances to the matches and the players were very poorly rewarded financially, which is why Tom kept going with his trade.
It was a wonderful time for them to play because of the relief after war to have entertainment again for the supporters and the football clubs. It was his time and in that time he was a superstar.
I just think he was unique and I don't think there are comparisons. He was a very gifted footballer in very difficult times; the pitches were difficult, the ball was heavy with lace in it and he was a magician.
For me he will always be a reminder of when football was very different to what it is now. There was very little television coverage of course some of the England internationals were only played in the 1958 World Cup. But for me he will always be synonymous of the football magazines of the time.
As I was growing up in the 1950s as he was playing, we did not get to see them apart from at a game. If you went to a game, you could squeeze in by getting there at 12pm for a 3pm kick off. If you came away and could say, "I saw Tom Finney play", you could go to school the next day and you would be a star yourself.

What is it with endives?
I just don't get it... why is this such a popular ingredient? It is so darn bitter! Is it often used because it's cheap? I actually think that it might be expensive...
Do people actually like the bitterness? Did I just get a bad endive salad?
Endive is slightly bitter ... but not overly bitter, IMO. It could be the endive you had wasn't good or was old. Usually it's not too cheap (at least not here) as it requires special growing conditions to keep it the pale color it is. It's good with hummos or as a small scoop for something slightly sweet like crab salad.
I love endive, especially the Belgian; the bitterness is a great foil for other flavors. Try taking a leaf of Belgian endive, putting some herbed cream or goat cheese on it and topping with a small piece of smoked salmon. This is an easy appetizer that always disappears.
For a main dish, take one head of Belgian endive per person, cut it through almost to the root, insert a slice of Gruyere cheese, and wrap with a thin slice of ham. Place in a microwave dish just large enough to hold however many endives you have. Add a little chicken stock, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and microwave until endive is tender. Serve with some crusty bread to sop up the yummy juices and you've got yourself a very tasty light supper.
A little lemon juice and wilting mitigates the bitterness (this works for any green). I usually cut them up on a mandaline, make a dressing with olive oil, lemon juice, an herb (mint, dill, whatever is fresh and on hand) and a little dijon mustard and then let the endives sit in the fridge for about half an hour--very refreshing in the summer.
There are two quite different types of endive.
One type, Belgian Endive or Witloof, is is grown for roots which are then forced in darkness. This type should have a mild bitterness and flavor and should have no trace of green. Green edges or worse are caused by light exposure and are indicative of improper handling. Supermarket conditions cause rapid deterioration. Green indicates produce that is over the hill and has developed toughness and bitterness.
The other major type of endive has curly leaves and includes frisee. This type makes a nice salad ingredient if it is young enough and grown under cool conditions. The green outer leaves on large heads can be tough, bittter and strong tasting while the whiter (blanched) inner leaves are still good.
Tough, old curly endive is terrible but that is what is in stores all too often.
re: Eldon Kreider
ITA about curly endive! I love Belgian endive, but given how old/sturdy/bitter the curly kind usually is, it's one of my least favorite salad greens.
re: krissywats
Endive and Treviso boats. Get creative with their fillings. They make excellent hor'dourves.
PLEASE NOTE: The General Chowhounding Topics board is for general discussion of foodstuffs only, and recipes belong on our home cooking board.

Economic Importance for Humans: Negative
Black-footed ferrets are often seen as pests by ranchers. The tunnel systems that are used by ferrets and prairie dogs cause holes in the the earth in the grazing lands of cattle. Unfortunate livestock sometimes step into these holes and become lame, after which they must be destroyed.
Latest updates
Susie Dresh commented on an older version of Economic Importance for Humans: Negative:
The above should be changed to the correct information - The ranchers fear that livestock will step in prairie dog holes and break their legs. In reality, however, there are no known cases of any cattle ever being injured by a prairie dog burrow. According to these websites http://www.conservenature.org/prairie/prairie_dog.htm "Conservation of prairie dogs is of great importance to the prairie ecosystem. These animals were largely exterminated by farmers who killed the prairie dogs because they worried their cattle would break legs by stepping in the burrows. In reality, however, there are no known cases of any cattle ever being injured by a prairie dog burrow." http://www.humanesociety.org/news/news/2009/12/prairie_dog_coalition.html "Most of the prairie dog's habitat is on national grasslands, and ranchers who hold leases to graze cattle on those lands are often concerned that cattle will step into a prairie dog hole and break a leg. Sterling-Krank said if ranchers move cattle from one location to another more slowly, instead of driving them at high speeds, they won't step in prairie dog holes. The holes are raised mounds that provide protection against flooding as well as a perch from which the animals can view their surroundings for security purposes. Cows naturally step around holes, rocks, and other impediments. "Prairie dogs and bison co existed for thousands of years before we intervened," she said."

Stand-up Revolution
is a fairly loose comedy show hosted by comedian Gabriel Iglesias, who is some
kind of genius with voices. Seriously, you�ll hear it throughout the disc (and
especially in the animated sequences). Ozomatli is the house band for
the show, which is totally cool. Each episode features two stand-up comedians
as well as an introduction and short stand-up bit by Gabriel Iglesias. The
episodes vary in quality, depending primarily on the strength of each episode�s
individual comedians (the best episodes being the first and fourth). This DVD
includes all six episodes, plus some bonus material.
The first episode
features Trevor Noah and Dov Davidoff. Trevor Noah compares comedy to sex: �
the comedian, playing the role of the man. You, the audience, playing the role
of the woman. Because it�s my job to satisfy you. And you just have to sit
.� But it�s his material on being of mixed races that is most interesting.
After Gabriel gives
Dov Davidoff an amazing introduction, Dov tells the audience to lower its
expectations. But he�s seriously funny, particularly his bit about people
having too many babies. When he gets rolling, he�s perfect. I need to keep an
eye out for this guy.
The first episode
also features an Ozomatli video and an hilarious anecdote from Gabriel about
playing a practical joke on Trevor in Texas.
The fourth episode
features comedians Dustin Ybarra and Thai Rivera. Dustin is incredibly funny,
with his comedy focusing on being poor. He says, �
Why do coupons even expire
anyway? That�s like the biggest F you to poor people ever, right? It�s like now
I gotta be poor on time? Thank you so much
.� It�s great, and his energy is
I like it when
comedians still risk being offensive, which sadly seems more and more rare.
Thai Rivera talks about the difference between being gay and being black: �
I as
a gay man will have people talk to me, hang out with me, in some cases want to
be my friend, and then they find out I�m gay and suddenly they want nothing to
do with me. Where with black people you automatically know you don�t like
." And on immigration he says, "
And some days I�m ready to call immigration
just to free up a dryer at the Laundromat
The sixth episode is
also really good. In addition to two comedians, there are three animated
sequences. Those sequences take Gabriel Iglesias� old stand-up bits and turn
them into cartoon form. My favorite is the second one, with a great animated
bit of terrified doughnuts.
The two comedians in
the sixth episode are Ian Bagg and Pablo Francisco.
Ian Bagg is probably my favorite comedian of
the entire season. He jokes about how he was molested as a kid. �
It�s a true
story. I actually got money from the church. I got $8,677. Worth it! Jesus
totally bought me my first car, and I got a Trans Am
.� I also love how he
interacts with the crowd. He is a seriously good comedian, and definitely has
his own thing going on. The Hitler pussy bit totally cracked me up.
Pablo Francisco, on the other hand, should be
funnier than he is. But he just can�t let go of the announcer voice, and it�s a
bit much.
By the way, while it�s
great that Ozomatli is the house band, by the third episode I was completely
sick of the theme song. (It�s played at the beginning, plus in and out of
nearly every break.) But don�t hold that against them. They�re a good band.
DVD Bonus Features
This DVD has several
bonus features, including outtakes and a behind-the-scenes look at the making
of the Ozomatli music video (which was shot at the Roxy). The best bonus
material is the series of animated �Hey It�s Fluffy!� shorts. There are four
shorts: �Fluffy And The Demon,� �Indecent Proposal,� �Dino Is Gay� and �Taco
Truck.� My personal favorite is �Taco Truck,� because of the end.

(Redirected from Obstructed)
An "obstruct" happens when a projectile hits something unintended like an object or a part of the terrain while on its way to its target, which will make the the projectile disappear and momentarily replace it with the sign "obstructed". An "obstruct" may happen to most types of projectiles launched by any object or character.
[edit] Notes
- From time to time, projectiles might pass through some terrain or thin and small parts of the environment. It is unknown if this is an intended "penetration" feature or a simple glitch related to the geometry of the world and its surface collision.
- Sometimes, when using some skills, it may look like an "obstruction" happened, but the intended sign will not be shown.

Fitness Basics: Learning to Love Tennis (cont.)
Before you spring for a racquet, have a pro or someone at a tennis shop size your grip, says Smith. And make sure you feel comfortable with the weight of the racquet. There are many different weights for different-sized people.
You don't have to spend a lot. For less than $100, you should be able to get a decent beginner racquet, Helmig says.
If there's a pro shop at the club or gym where you're playing, see if they have any used racquets for sale. It's a great way to get into a better racquet for less money.
Advantage: Lessons
All the pros we spoke with said that lessons really are the best way to learn technique and form.
Finding a tennis pro isn't hard. Find a club, gym, or park and recreation facility with courts and go from there. Get recommendations from friends, says Helmig, and be sure to meet a few of the instructors before signing up, to see whom you feel comfortable with. If you're not sure where to start, go to USTA.com for help finding a pro in your city.
Though prices will vary depending on where you live, Smith and Helmig say you can expect to pay from $40 to $70 per hour for a private lesson. Splitting it with a friend cuts the cost in half.
Taking classes or clinics, with up to eight people, can be less expensive as well, says Sneed, who teaches an eight-week Play Tennis Quick (PTQ) class.
You can also get information from videos or books, though Smith does not recommend it.
"I really think you have to have the hands-on experiential learning on the court with balls," she says.
And learning is only half the battle. You'll need to practice to reap the benefits tennis can offer, says Sneed.
One lesson plus two additional hours of playing a week is ideal to create consistency, suggests Helmig.
"If you want to learn, you have to practice," says Sneed. "You've got to walk more than once a week to start reaping the benefits. It's the same with tennis."

The economy is in bad shape. Most NFL teams are cap strapped. Pro Bowl-caliber vets are getting cut like they were journeymen. Maybe, just maybe, Scott Pioli thinks that the most valuable asset the Chiefs can have heading into the draft, and even into the June 1 cut deadline, is plentiful cap space?
Guys like Anquan Boldin, Jarvis Green and Shaun Rogers will surely be easier to acquire on draft day, right? After all, it was Scott Pioli who once imported Randy Moss for a fourth-round pick. I'm not saying that's going to happen again. What I'm saying is that maybe we get a guy like the disgruntled Rogers for a third- or fourth-round pick on draft day, when one year ago he cost a third and a highly regarded, at least at the time, cover corner in Leigh Bodden. Keep in mind that Rogers led all nose tackles with 76 tackles with 4.5 sacks. He's just one example, too.
The theory here: better to give up a pick and get a guy you really want with a reasonable contract, than to over pay a free agent you don't like as much.
Additionally, I think players, and good ones, will continue to get cut all the way up until June 1. Teams will also be looking to trade players rather than straight up release them. I believe this is what happened with Mike Vrabel. What better way to keep a player out of the hands of a division rival than to trade them to a team of your liking for whatever you can get? Makes sense if you were already going to cut that player anyway.
We also have veterans — Brian Waters, Larry Johnson and Tamba Hali come to mind — that I could see us trading for draft picks.
As the draft approaches and vets continue to get cut, maybe Pioli thinks that the best way to be a player this offseason is to maintain the most flexible cap situation in the NFL? If so, he could be right, as long as he finds ways to capitalize.
Addicts, sound off on this theory…

!Two!3 Reviews
Wilona is mad. Frank bakes cookies. (Sorry, I suck at summaries).
It was never a good sign for Frank when Wilona Cranford was angry. And today, she was furious. It turned out that her "hot boyfriend" had actually been sleeping with some whore from his college. This upset her beyond what words could ever say. She stared coldly at the blank white wall in Frank's apartment. Having a spare key, she had let herself in, expecting to see Frank, waiting for her with that goofy smile of his. It shocked her to find that he wasn't there! What enraged her even more was that he didn't answer her phone call. She made herself comfortable on the beaten-up sofa and cracked her pale knuckles. Where the hell was that motherfucker?
After what seemed like forever, the front door finally creaked open. A dazed looking Frank stepped in. He smiled upon seeing Wilona. It always pleased him when he saw his beautiful girlfriend. His grin slid off when he noticed that she had greeted him with an icy glare. He rapidly made his way to the seat next to her. She raised an elegantly plucked eyebrow at his concerned look.
"What's with that weird face?" she asked, voice dripping with disgust.
Frank was probably the only person who could fail to notice the scorn in her silken voice, "Uh...I don't know...but are you okay? You seem upset. Did the family meeting thing turn out okay?"
"It's none of your business," she snapped rudely.
"Oh...okay..." he replied in a meek tone.
"Make me cookies, Frankie," the girl ordered.
Frank got up on command. He would do anything to make Wilona happier. He worked quickly in the kitchen, gathering all his supplies. Once the cookie dough was split into different pieces, he pulled out his heart-shaped cookie cutters. He thought that maybe Wilona would find that sweet. Fifteen minutes later, the oven beeped, signaling the cookies to be ready. Frank pulled open the oven door and brought out the cookie tray with his bare hands. He winced at the heat at his fingertips but he couldn't drop the tray. As fast as he could, he speed-walked to where Wilona was sitting, watching his puny television set. He held the tray out towards her.
She gazed for a long moment at the tray full of cookies. To her utter disappointment, they were not even faintly burnt so there was no excuse to pretend to be angry with him. Her eyes traveled upwards to his hopeful olive-green eyes. There was a certain cheerful spirit in them that she couldn't bear to see. But what could she criticize? Those cookies were flawless.
Frank's fingertips now felt like they would catch fire. He bit his lip to stop himself from screaming. It was as if the heat had gone to his head and he could not think straight. Or maybe it was Wilona's green eyes drilling into him that prevented him from just putting the tray down.
She found his little mistake at last! Despite how much she wanted to laugh, she twisted her face into an expression of pure agony. She grabbed the tray and walked to the kitchen hurriedly. Even though her fingers were hurting a bit, it was worth what Frank's face would look like afterwards.
He watched in horror as she dumped his heart into the trash can, in the form of baked dough.
"Wh-what's wrong with them?" he stuttered.
"I'm sorry, I know you worked hard," Wilona said apathetically, "But hearts? That's just gay. Let's go out and get pizza. I don't want cookies anymore."
Frank tried to hide his distress with a fake smile, "Okay, then..."
They drove to the pizza place in a silent Cadillac belonging to Wilona. Frank miserably stared out the window with the sights of Belleville passing by at forty-five miles per hour. He didn't see them, though. All he saw were those cookies, sliding down from the metal plate into the garbage. He couldn't understand what was so wrong about making his girlfriend heart-shaped cookies. At the same time, he was familiar with this sort of thing happening. This was definitely not the first time. He sighed and pushed open the door as the car came to a skidding halt. They were directed to a seat, right in the center of the restaurant by a young mustached waiter. Frank only opened his mouth to mumble a polite thanks to him.
Wilona felt much better now. It was so funny how sensitive Frank was. She felt as if she was going to explode into a fit of giggles. To let it out, she blew bubbles into her glass of water.
Frank, on the other hand, felt ready to cry. He was kind of getting the feeling that Wilona didn't even care about him anymore. He didn't want to believe that of her, though. She'd said so herself a couple of nights ago that she loved him. Her opinion couldn't have changed over the course of two days. Unless...unless he had done something terribly wrong. He tried to retrace the actions he had taken. The only possible reason was what had happened today. But it couldn't have been because of his heart-shaped cookies. He rested his throbbing head in his hands and pondered harder.
"FRANK!" a sudden recognizable male voice crying his name interrupted his thoughts.
He lifted up his chin to see Gerard Way walking towards him. He was grinning from ear to ear and waving pleasantly as he approached Frank's table. Suddenly everything seemed to take a spin. Frank's spirit immediately rose and he couldn't explain why.
Thanks, everyone who reviewed. I didn't expect so many comments on the first chapter, and especially the first chapter of my first story!!! Thanks again and if you want I'll keep on writing.

Aircraft Enforcement
C-GOXY is the latest addition to OPP Aviation Services and is a state-of-the-art fixed wing single engine aircraft. The Cessna 206 turbo has a range of over 1000 kilometres and incorporates sophisticated technology with durability and dependability and is capable of flying under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR). The five passenger aircraft has an overall length of 8.61 metres and a wingspan of 10.97 metres. The 310 horsepower engine generates enough power to ensure a maximum speed of 178 knots at an altitude of up to 27 000 feet.
The arrival of the new aircraft has been very much anticipated since August 15, 2007 when Premier McGuinty and OPP Commissioner Fantino made the announcement at a formal ceremony in Markam, Ontario.
The Cessna 206 has an impeccable safety record and is equipped with the latest in aviation technology to ensure the multi-usage mandate required by the OPP is met. The aircraft will be equipped with a dual sensor camera (infrared and day-time video) and will also have digital downlink capabilities.
The primary function of the new Cessna will be traffic enforcement commencing on Hwy 400 between Barrie and Toronto. Plans are underway to utilize the new aircraft in each Region and an AEP plan is being prepared by Traffic Managers. Hot spots have been identified in each Region with regard to fatal and serious injury collisions under the Results Driven Policing model. This information will be utilized to focus the aircraft and associated resources to those problem areas.
Aircraft observers use the Robic stopwatch Model SC-808 to monitor and determine vehicle speeds. As the target vehicle crosses the painted 'hash mark' on the highway, the watch is activated. When the vehicle crosses the next roadway marking 500 metres away, the stopwatch is deactivated and the vehicle speed is automatically calculated and displayed. The use of this technology ensures accuracy and efficiency in speed enforcement from the air. In addition to passenger vehicle speeders, aircraft observers will also target violations by commercial motor vehicles and motorcycles. As the AEP develops, other problem areas such as intersections and school bus violations will also be monitored.
The Aircraft Enforcement Program is an excellent example of coupling state-of-the-art technology with the principles of the Provincial Traffic Safety Program for the purpose of saving lives. The Cessna 206 is a welcome addition to the traffic safety efforts by the OPP in the Province of Ontario.

On March 16, police from Albuquerque, N.M. shot and killed 38-year-old James Boyd in the Sandia Foothills after a standoff that lasted for hours, as Boyd, described as a homeless camper, was threatening police with a small knife. Reportedly, the fatal shot to the homeless man by police came as Boyd appeared to be surrendering to authorities on the scene.
On March 28, the FBI opened a criminal investigation into that shooting, according to Yahoo! News .
The FBI has had the Albuquerque police on its radar for years, and over one year ago initiated a civil rights probe into the department "over allegations of excessive force and a spike in police shootings."
Dating back to 2010, police in Albuquerque have had occasion to shoot at 37 suspects, killing 23.
The FBI said that its investigating the Albuquerque police in regards to Boyd's shooting death, to "assure the public that a thorough and fair investigation will be conducted."
Regarding Boyd's death at the hands of the Albuquerque police:
He died after officers fired stun guns, bean bags and six live rounds, the authorities said.
But a helmet-camera video showed Mr. Boyd agreeing to walk down the mountain with them, gathering his things and taking a step toward officers just before they fired. – The New York Times
Albuquerque's mayor, Richard Berry, welcomed the FBI investigation, referring to it as "the right thing, right now. We need answers as a community."
Much of the action between Boyd and the Albuquerque police was all caught on tape. For more on the story, see the video accompanying this article.
