Reviewed By Thomas M (Carbondale, CO) Reviewed for a 2001 GMC C/K 3500 —7/2/2010 8:18 AM
Slam dunk to install. Had to remove 2 fuses but down loaded with no problems. Tuned to "regular" gas in an 8.1 GMC and had some ping but called in and the regular setting is set for 87 octane and I had 85 so bought some octane booster and solved that problem. Later fueled with 1/2 premium and 1/2 85 and so far no problems. Power gain is noticable, especially in mid range. A little dissapointed in the 87 octane setting as I was after performance gain as well as cost and ended up costing about a dime more per gallon for the 87. Haven't run enought to notice any fuel milage gain at this point and it is hard to keep your foot away from the firewall so we'll see if the additional performance is worth a dime/gallon. At this point I would recommend the programmer, however.


text: Since it's time for the big Michigan-Notre Dame game, the blogosphere has brought back the vodka-swilling Jacobson rant. Now The Big Lead is citiing a source that claims both Trey Wingo and Jacobson have sent personal letters of apology over the event. Evidently Wingo used the word "retarded," and Weis, who has a special needs child, was offended. According to TBL, Weis accepted Wingo's apology and forgave him. Jacobson? Not so much. He still hates her for insulting Touchdown Jesus and Notre Dame. He responded to her letter by ripping her about "professionalism." And Charlie Weis knows all about professionalism. Professionalism is calling Michigan players thugs, refusing to answer questions from the media, blaming your predecessor for your own personal failings, and reacting to any question that doesn't deify you as a personal insult. Man, aren't we all just incredibly lucky that the man holding down civility in America today is Charlie Weis? Seriously, though, not accepting apologies? What is this, the third grade? Exclusive? Weis Accepted Apology Letter From Trey Wingo, Refused to Accept One From Dana Jacobson [The Big Lead]

UCLA last returned a kickoff for a touchdown six years ago, when Matthew Slater took back an 89-yarder against Arizona State.
The program's last punt return score stretches back even longer: to 2005, when Maurice Jones-Drew — the Bruins' last unanimous All-American — ran 81 yards to the end zone against Cal.
Ishmael Adams is hoping he can end that drought.
"All the players are excited to see one," he said. "I'm definitely looking for it, obviously. I want to return one for a touchdown more than anybody else."
Adams, a cornerback who also leads the team with four interceptions, has had heads twisting during his recent turn on special teams.
While kick and punt return coverage has been solid all season for UCLA (9-3), ranking second and third, respectively, in the Pac-12, its personnel on the other side has been less stable. Receiver Shaq Evans and running back Steve Manfro started out returning punts and kicks, but the former has been less effective in recent weeks and the latter has battled an ankle injury.
When receiver Devin Fuller also went down with a hamstring injury, Adams was thrown into the mix.
The 5-foot-8, 190-pounder debuted against Arizona State on Nov. 16 with five kick returns for 185 yards. He also took a punt back 49 yards, one that sparked murmurs along the sideline: I can't remember the last time I saw one go all the way.
Against USC a week later, he notched another 130 yards on three kick returns.
He has not returned kicks in enough games this season to qualify for the leaderboard, but his 39.38-yard average on eight returns would put him first in the country. Stanford's Ty Montgomery currently holds that spot with a 31.16-yard average on 32 returns. No other qualifying player in the Pac-12 has over 24.40 yards per return.
"It's been a joy," Adams said. "We always come up with new ways to find seams for me to make it happen. Coach (Jeff Ulbrich, the special teams coordinator), does a great job coming up with the plans for special teams. I just have full trust in him. Whatever I see from actually doing it, I just let him know and we get everything fixed."
A Sun Bowl matchup against Virginia Tech (8-4) on New year's Eve offers a prime opportunity to tack on more numbers. Although Virginia Tech 27-year head coach Frank Beamer has long been known as a special teams expert, this year's Hokies aren't living up to that reputation.
The team ranks 73rd in the country in opposing kick returns (21.58 per) and have surrendered one touchdown. It is even worse on punt return coverage: 111th in the country at 12.60 yards, including two scores.

Its first cut possibly dates back to the Partian era. Most Mitra temples like the Niasar cave have been built in full darkness.
The cave also has other entrances, some of which open in a rocky area that separates the upper parts of Niasar from the lower neighborhoods.
These entrances, which face the north along with the Niasar Waterfall, have created a beauti-ful scenery. Signs of water erosion on the rocks bear testimony to the fact that the cave had been a scenic area since times imme-morial.
At the base of the waterfall, there are two millstones while similar millstones can also be seen inside the cave. The existence of these stones inside a dark cave had not been for milling wheat, but had been used for turning wheels during ceremonies related to Mithraism rites. According to Sheikhli, who has visited many caves of Iran, these stones were used to close the entrances to the small chambers of the cave.
Air circulates well throughout the cave.

Cydstep and first strike go great together - free hits get better the more you can stack.
And as for critical mass - there's plenty of it in non ridiculous incarnations. And still some in at least ha-ha funny ones.
Stacking resists - there's several ways with various levels of ease/cheeze. Once you're stacked, you pretty much only care how sloppy you play with other elements if you can somehow get cursed.
Going crazy with a god - well, it's pretty much hilarious with piety farms ATM, so much so that I can't remember the last time I went serious with TT. Mysterea and Binlor kick enough general purpose ass that you can play pretty sloppily with your other resources.
Gold - well, you can still go spam happy with the crystal ball I suppose, and you can get moderate and fun benefits out of conversion strats, so there's nothing to really point at an scream. CP monster Dragonknights are also more interested in setting up good buildup and combos than being picky about targets and exploration.
DP/Dodge string - got pretty screwy ways of setting you priorities when it comes to exploration and monsters.
Warlords - They're manamonstering cheeze.
And so on and so forth...

Wedding Night Dining
Thursday, September 23, 2010 - 1 comment
I'm trying to balance the wedding posts with food posts - so bear with me! Also - please note - I've added a poll to the left so you can help me pick where to go next! Also - at the bottom of the page is a link to my Walk Like MADD page - it's a great cause and very dear to my heart. Okay - onto the real content - food!
Speaking of dear to my heart - that's us on our wedding night! We checked in at the B&B down the street (blog to come) and then I realized how little of the fantastic food at my wedding that I had actually gotten to eat! So after opening our gifts we went to watch a little football and grab a quick bite.
Since we were staying in Bellevue we decided to head down to Arnie's on the Levee. I'd never been so we could eat, watch football and get more blog material.
We started out with the fresh chips, salsa & queso appetizer ($5.79). Larry totally said he wasn't hungry - but I knew he'd eat...and it was pretty good. I was pretty much just in the mood for queso and liked it quite a bit.
My entree came with a side salad first - pretty generous size - standard fare and good ranch...I wasn't that hungry so just tasted tidbits and let it go. All in all - fine...
I ordered the Fettucini Alfredo ($9.99) - you can also add chicken or shrimp but I just wanted it naked that night (insert wedding night joke here). I didn't even touch the bread - handed that off to the hubby right off the bat. The fettucini was really good. (Sorry for the blurry picture - some places are easier than others to get good pictures in.) It was creamy and flavorful and surprisingly not too heavy. I mean - it was fettucini alfredo - so it was heavy but not "sit in your stomach and make you feel like crap" heavy. I've watched too many Gordon Ramsey shows so the fluffs of parsley and parmesan around the plate annoy me now that I look at the photo - but all in all - I really enjoyed the dish.
The bartender/waitress welcomed us and said "how are you guys doing?!" When we replied that we'd just gotten married - she was shocked - she hadn't heard that before! Hey - we like to be original.
Why Should You Go? The reviews on Urbanspoon are pretty mixed but we enjoyed it a lot. The bartender was really friendly and the food was good. I also follow them on Twitter and they seem to advertise a lot of good lunch specials - so if you're near the Levee - you might wanna check them out.
(And PS - Blogger: I HATE your new editor. Why did I click "Try This"?????? AAAAACK!)

flofifa needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 196 designs submitted by 55 freelance designers.
Gourmet Globe
Gourmet Globe, the newspaper for connoisseurs, is the address for indulgence and lifestyle on the german-speaking web. Gourmet Globe delivers round-the-clock news, reports and interviews from the culinary world.
The focus is on trendy restaurants, brilliant star chefs, great wines, cool hotels, delightful recipes, culinary trips and a lot more.
Forthcoming, an online shop will be integrated, which offers wine, food, kitchen appliances and books.
Gourmet Globe is accessible under http://www.gourmetglobe.de.
The target group of Gourmet Globe lives in Europe and consists of 55 percent men, aged between 25 and 65 years old and has a high level of education.
Primarily, they are people who love the pleasant things of life or act with them.
We need the new logo for a number of purposes: Business-Cards, Letterhead, Envelopes etc.
But – mainly – the new logo will replace the existing logo on http://www.gourmetglobe.de. The new logo should complement the appearance of Gourmet Glob's web site.
The logo may not be too playful, not too "funny". Don't use – necessarily - knife and fork, chef's hats, cloches etc. That's what too many restaurants and gourmet-companies use. This has no brand recognition.
The logo should be simple, elegant, sophisticated, balanced, clear and - above all - unique.
Otherwise we want to set no limits to your creativity.
Find out how a design contest works or learn more about our logo design services.

FBI: Drunken flier gropes 3 on UK-bound US Airways flight
A London-bound US Airways flight returned to Philadelphia after an allegedly drunk unruly flier grouped three women and spurred federal air marshals into action Tuesday evening, the FBI says in an affidavit.
The incident first began when two women on US Airways Flight 728 complained that their seatmate -- 40-year-old Robert John Coppack of California -- had been drinking vodka and touched them inappropriately, The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. The women told an attendant that they did not feel comfortable sitting next to the man.
When the attendant instructed Coppack to stop touching the women, "he became aggressive and used vulgar language to her and the passengers around him," an FBI affidavit says, according to Philly.com.
US Airways crew asked Coppack to move to the back of the aircraft. He complied, but – on the way – he groped a third woman. That woman, a retired flight attendant, said Coppack grabbed her arm and breast, the affidavit says, according to The Associated Press.
Federal air marshals intervened as Coppack reached the rear of the plane. The affidavit says Coppack then threatened the marshals with violence if they did not leave him alone. The marshals responded by handcuffing and restraining Coppack until the Airbus A330 returned to Philadelphia.
The decision to return to Philadelphia came about an hour into the flight, CBS Philadelphia reports.
TODAY IN THE SKY:Attendants fall ill: US Airways flight diverts to Dublin (May 12, 2014)
TODAY IN THE SKY:Severe turbulence injures 6 on Philly-Orlando flight (May 5, 2014)
Coppack was taken into custody on arrival and will remain in custody until Monday, when he faces a detention and probable cause hearing in federal court, according to NBC Philadelphia. He is charged with intimidating a flight crew and interfering with their work.
The flight first took off from Philadelphia around 10:20 p.m. local time and returned to the airport around 1 a.m. on Wednesday morning, according to CBS Philadelphia. Flight 728 took off again for London – without Coppack on board – around 3 a.m. It arrived at Heathrow about four hours later than originally scheduled, according to US Airways spokeswoman Michelle Mohr.
Coppack told officials that he was traveling on a British passport and that he has dual citizenship.
The flight was the third Philadelphia flight on US Airways to suffer an unusual incident during the past two weeks. On May 11, a US Airways flight from Italy to Philadelphia diverted to Ireland after the attendants became ill. And on May 4, six people were injured on a Philadelphia-to-Orlando flight that ran into severe turbulence.

Why Get A Master's Degree in Anthropology from Florida Atlantic University?
Our faculty is composed of experienced, published researchers who are committed to providing students with the best possible academic training in cultural anthropology, biological anthropology, and archaeology.
We have a small department where each graduate student receives mentoring and guidance in a close working relationship with a faculty member.
After receiving a masters degree from Florida Atlantic University, students are accepted into prestigious doctoral programs, or begin working in the field.
The Masters Program in Anthropology at Florida Atlantic University offers the student an in-depth exposure to biological anthropology, cultural anthropology and archaeology, providing a solid training in theory, methods, and analysis. The masters program offers the student the opportunity to put anthropology into practice, to pursue an intellectual quest, and to creatively and critically construct a research program that reflects the student's particular interests.
Students embark on a 30-credit hour course of study that encompasses anthropological theory, seminars in the subfields of anthropology, advanced training in their chosen subfield, topical courses, and quantitative reasoning. The coursework provides the foundation for the student's independent and original research for a masters thesis, developed under the supervision of department faculty. Many of our graduate students, based on the skills and knowledge they acquired at Florida Atlantic University, move on to complete their doctoral work at varied institutions.
Graduate students in the Department of Anthropology develop original research projects for their theses. The masters thesis is a demonstration of the student's facility with synthesizing anthropological theory and methods into a sustained and persuasive examination of a topic important in anthropology.
Biological Anthropology students most often focus their thesis research on issues associated with human evolution and adaptation. Whether the thesis involves the analysis of actual osteological material from Florida, South America, Africa, or Europe, or involves the analysis of CAT or MRI scans, students acquire excellent, state-of-the-art training in biological anthropology.
Cultural Anthropology thesis research is extraordinarily varied in topical and theoretical direction. Students have carried out research with local immigrant groups (e.g. Maya, Dominican, Haitian), in South American villages, and on a variety of social issues in the U.S. (e.g. diet, healthcare, the environment).
Archaeological thesis students conduct research in a variety of venues, with diverse materials. For example, students have focused on issues in the prehistory of south Florida, Ecuador, Cuba, and Mexico, utilizing such materials as ceramics, shell, animal and fish bone, lithics, and settlement patterns.

The Hard Top Chop- Part III
Unboxing A Shoebox
Simon Wattswriter
It's been a long process, but Jay Dean at the Nostalgia Ranch has finally stitched the top back together on this Ford shoebox. Not only has he lowered the lid, but he has also eliminated the B-pillars, giving his happy customer a custom hardtop.
Jay's philosophy from the start was to cut, stand back, and weld it together once it looked right. We left you last month with the A-pillars welded, the B-pillars gone, and the rear of the roof looking like we should have never started. In this issue, Jay is going to show us that he knew what he was doing all along and mate the old roof and some new sheetmetal into a flowing form. Follow along and get some tips to apply to your own custom.

Everyone's going to Paris. Two good friends, two current colleagues, plus a couple of ex-colleagues, have all in recent weeks asked for pointers and recommendations as they plan trips, for work or pleasure, to the great City of Light and Dark Chocolate. It's fun to imagine their adventures.
One of my friends, the fun and fabulous Melody, was just there for a photo shoot and relayed a classic story. She went to Brasserie Lipp with her client. The client asked for a menu in English. The waiter looks at the woman, pauses, and says "never" and walks away and
literally never returns.
Such ridiculous behavior, but so deliciously French!

Survey says!
Most people love their families. Of course they do. There are shared memories, traditions and holidays; the goofy dispositions, long-running rivalries and hysterical revelries—family ties. Everyone thinks their family is the greatest.
But mine really is.
Last spring, one of my cousins called on all of us to try out for Family Feud, which was hosting auditions at the Foxwood casino, in our home state of Connecticut. I couldn't make the trip and really didn't think anything of it. Until five of my cousins aced the auditions and made it to the taping. They were going on national TV!
A lot has happened since then. The TV recording was down in Atlanta, where one of my cousins happens to live. So a couple dozen cousins and their spouses, aunts and uncles and second cousins descended on Betsy's home and it was an impromptu family reunion (with Steve Harvey, honorary Lathrop member). Reportedly, they kicked some ass.
One month after that, my dear Aunt BJ, who was at the taping and caused a ruckus in the live audience as she was never one who could stay quiet, passed away from pulmonary fibrosis. We were all so happy that much of the family had been there together in Atlanta.
Now, this weekend, we're gathering again. The (promised Emmy-winning) episode of Family Feud premieres today. Team Lathrop, in color-coordinated finery, are bringing their sass, their smarts, their color-coordinated style into your living room. But just in case you're at work and miss it, and just in case you're going to be in Connecticut this weekend, join us at the Lyme Tavern at 3pm on Saturday for a party.
My cousins are also donating a portion of their winnings to the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation in honor of Aunt BJ. And if you're so moved, you can too.

My Vegan Mondays
Coffee with soy milk
Granola with almond milk
Veggie stew and green salad from LifeThyme
Gala apple
Couscous salad with roasted broccoli, pine nuts and sun-dried tomatoes
It was one of those Mondays, neither here nor there. I look back on my photos and blog entries of Paris and almost can't believe that was my life. Every day was an adventure. I did something new, saw something inspiring, thought and felt more than I realized was possible. It was a dream.
I think about Paris all the time. And while I miss it deeply, I am so content here in New York. And I wonder if my chapter in Paris was so magical for the very reason that it was not forever. I'm grateful for my time there, and grateful to be here at home. But every once in awhile, on a dull Monday like today, I can't help but wish I could go back and relive it all....

The week in food
As I type, I am digesting cake truffles from Momofuku Milk Bar(two pineapple upside down cake and one chocolate chip). Needless to say, it's been a naughty week.
It included obscene meals at Acme and L'Artusi. Cocktails at Employees Only and Hotel Delmano.
And the capper was going to Smorgasburg in Williamsburg, with the lovely views of our most amazing city.
Where, from the gorgeous bruschetta options at Sunday Gravy, we chose walnut chicken with a beautiful pesto.
It went well with the Bamberg sandwich from Schnitz...
Brown Butter Salty and Oat Chocolate Chunk cookies from The Good Batch…
Just didn't stand a chance against the hibiscus and café au lait doughnuts from Dough.
Heaven. But I have some serious repenting to do this week.

More than a woman
"It's all about life. And it's all about being the woman you want to be."
My first plum assignment as a writer was interviewing Diane von Furstenberg for CITY Magazine. I've been in love with her ever since.
Smart, independent, confident, sexy—she's one of those women really does seem to have it all: a fulfilling, successful career; the love of her life; children and grandchildren whom she adores; and an exciting life of travel, filled with friends and inspiration.
And now she's breaking ground on the technology front: this past NY Fashion Week, she was the first fashion designer to use Google Glass to show the runway from the models' pov. Brilliant.

The week in food
Yes, I've been having my misgivings about summer's end, la rentrée and that general meh feeling at the turn of the seasons. Nevertheless, the beautiful weather is hanging on, and there is always delicious food this time of the year to make it all better.
Like heirloom tomato toast, doused in olive oil, salt and pepper, and the roasted carrot and avocado salad at ABC Kitchen.
Pitch-perfect bluefish cakes with poached eggs and celery remoulade at Stone Park Café in Park Slope (and yes, finally getting my Instagram savviness...)
That was after a glorious blueberry muffin at Du Jour Bakery and a romp through Sugar and Plumm's candy kingdom on the Upper West Side.
And to bring the weekend to a close, a Sunday morning bagel in Central Park.
Have I mentioned that I love New York?

Haute Chocolaterie: La Maison du Chocolat
La Maison du Chocolat, 225, rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré, hit Paris in 1981, and it didn't take long to become an institution. Something like three weeks. Faces staring into the windows are studies in anticipation. The chocolates are made below the shop in what used to be a wine cellar. Owner Robert Linxe is less interested in chew than in flavor and melt. Marriages made in heaven are his forte: chocolate an coffee, chocolate and rum, chocolate and orange. An occasional flirtation with kirsch is permissible. For the more indissoluble union of chocolate with the well-defined personality of coffee, Linxe frequently has his coffee and cocoa beans ground together.
"Good chocolate won't make you sick," he said as he urged us to taste a Romeo, a Bohème, and a Rigoletto. "It won't even make you fat. Look at me, and I eat it all day long." True, he was as svelte and active as a live wire and as persuasive as a faith healer.
"Bitter chocolate is full of potassium and magnesium."
Convinced that it was so good for me, I could hardly refuse a Bacchus.
A) I want to write this well
B) I want a job where I get to write like this, about chocolate all the time
C) I miss Paris
D) Why, oh why, did Gourmet fold??

La rentrée: Inspiring or dreadful?
"La rentrée—a time of magical new beginnings in Paris that's like "back to school" in the states, only bigger and more profound. More than just kids getting new pencil boxes and corduroys after a summer of catching fireflies and building campfires, it's the season of renewal. Change is embraced and celebrated by every proud citizen; it's a feted homecoming for the entire city that is returning to work after spending August frolicking à la plage—unless, of course, they were like me and the Louis Vuitton team, who toiled not only the entire sacred heat-filled month, but every weekend of it, too."
—from Paris, My Sweet
Change is in the air in New York City. After three months of glorious summer weather—four if you include May, which was actually pretty spectacular, too—Labor Day weekend rolled around with overcast skies and cool weather. Aside from buzzing and bumbling NYU students, the city's energy has been as deflated as a balloon three days after the party.
Personally I've been listless. Not blue, but not inspired either. C'est la vie, I thought. Until I searched through the past three years of this blog and realized I just don't do so well with this "magical" time of the year. In 2009, I was in a classic meh mood. In 2010, I took an objective point of view. Last year—even while I was in Paris (oh, how I miss it)—I felt an inexplicable weight.
Maybe I'm grieving for summer. Maybe I feel the impending doom of eight months of progressively crummier weather. Maybe it's an internal thing. I don't know. I do know it's time to shake the cobwebs and embrace this season of change, believing it will all be good change.
Et toi? How are you faring with la rentrée?

My Vegan Mondays
Even if it's boring, it's still important (at least to me) to keep tabs on Meatless Mondays.
A long walk along the Hudson River Park
Kashi with banana and flax seeds
Green juice (kale, cucumber, celery, banana, lemon juice)
Celery and carrots with hummus
Mixed nuts
Spaghetti with fresh tomatoes, olives and basil
Red wine
Hope you had a good eating weekend!

We had yet more rain, much needed,the night before last, last night and again today. Wildfires have broken out in Wood Buffalo National Park and elsewhere….it is very dry so the rain is welcome…unfortunately lightning strikes cause ignition and new fires start. Ironically the Boreal Forest depends upon wildfires, some trees have seed pods that will only open when exposed to flame, but more on that later.
My trek across the ravine last evening and again tonight was a slip as you go, get one of your boots sucked off in the mud type of excursion …but worth every step…muddy sock and all. I feel confident that the Bulldogs, mosquitoes and other hungry dive bombers quite enjoyed the blood meal I provided for them. Poor LOKI had a heck of a time as the Bulldogs (similar to horseflies but a lot bigger) were attempting to feast on his nose. Of course the notorious, will take a chunk out of you, Pine Beetles are on the warpath too. Nasty black big beetles with long legs, really long curly antenia that help them get in and stay in your hair (hence the local nickname 'Hair Eaters') as they munch away on your scalp.
Still we both got through it, he enjoyed a warm meal, his fave cookies and a special treat …a Bully Stick! My beautiful boy has been leading me deeper into the thickets lately and of course I am eager to follow.
That's much better, I was hungry. What, he says, is on tonight's menu? Smells good. Hey there is even my fave dessert too!!
I continue to be awestruck at the trust that has grown, how he runs to greet me with sheer enthusiasm. I took my first really good video of him tonight, albeit a short one because I am new at filming…but there will be more to come. You can view the video on the FB Group: Action for the Protection of Northern Animals. This is an Open Group and you are welcome to join. There is also a Causes Group of the same name and members are growing in numbers.
Hopefully I will soon be able to load videos I take onto this Blog…a little technical issue at the moment.
My sincerest hope by going public about LOKI is to keep him safe until he decides to join my family. I've been working with him since October 2010 and given his first few years of life, knowing what they were, I know that only time, patience and love will make this happen. Our time together is so very precious, and LOKI MATTERS!!!
This extremely gentle soul has become so much a part of me now that I am unable to even remotely put into words what he means to me.

Day's Worst: Florida police miss clues in Casey Anthony case
Can it be true that detectives investigating the disappearance of a 2-year-old girl overlooked a particular web browser when examining recent search searches on a computer used by the girl's mother?
News broke recently that detectives examining a computer used by Casey Anthony looked at Internet Explorer for recent searches but not Firefox. The Firefox browser had been used to look up fool-proof suffocation methods.
Casey Anthony was acquitted in 2011 of the murder of her daughter, Caylee, whose decomposed body was found in a field six months after she disappeared.
It's unfortunate that prosecutors never had this evidence to use in making a case.

Cleaning for Heroes: House Cleaning for Military Veterans
Anne Aldridge-Baligian and her family are dedicated to repaying elderly and disabled veterans for their service, one clean house at a time.
Cranston, Rhode Island, is home to many elderly veterans. Noticing their struggle to mow lawns or rake leaves, Anne Aldridge-Baligian, 41, wondered whether these retired soldiers in her neighborhood were also having trouble maintaining the inside of their houses. The veterans reminded her of her great-grandfather, who fought in the army in World War I and died at age 89, having lived the last eight years of his life alone as a widower. She started thinking about what would have happened to him if he hadn't had family nearby.
Anne's interest in the welfare of veterans stems from many close ties. She is also the daughter of a Vietnam navy veteran, the niece of a Vietnam army veteran and the granddaughter of a World War II army veteran. Her son is in Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps, and her daughter has friends who are entering the military. "Because of my family's connections, I have a very strong respect for our veterans, which has fueled a desire to improve their quality of life," she says.
As the owner of Ocean State House Cleaning, Anne was determined to help in the way she knew best—by enabling veterans to maintain their homes. "The desire to assist veterans developed over time," she recalls, "but the idea for Cleaning for Heroes [CFH] was like a lightbulb going off in my head."
Initially, she looked for an organization that matched cleaning services like hers with veterans requiring assistance, but she didn't find any. So in 2010 she launched the nonprofit CFH, dedicated to providing free house tidying to vets in need due to old age, physical or mental illness, lost limbs or other restrictions.
Anne bankrolled the fledgling organization with $5,000, which covered the cost of sending brochures to cleaning companies and veterans' organizations, and paid for two part-time data entry employees. (Anne does not receive a salary.) About 50 volunteers nationwide pass out brochures in places where veterans congregate, such as VA hospitals, Veterans of Foreign Wars posts and American Legion halls. Through Facebook, they recruit people to help in their city or town.
Clients are matched with a cleaning service in their area, receiving a monthly session for four months. Anne also works with companies to provide services such as landscaping, pressure washing, and window and carpet cleaning. "Disabled and elderly veterans have enough to cope with," she says. "Knowing people are taking care of their home gives them one less thing to worry about." Anne gets three to five new applications a day from vets. (Community heroes—like firefighters and police officers injured on the job—are also eligible.)
CFH is constantly searching for new providers to meet the growing demand for services, and Anne's entire family pitches in. Anne's husband, Paul, who works in information technology, assists with phone and computer support, while their three older daughters—Amanda, 21, Allison, 19, and Andrea, 17—and their son, Robert, 16, send out mailings soliciting donated services. (Baby Abigail, who is a year old, watches from her bouncy seat.) "I want my children to learn that community service is important," says Anne, "and benefits not only the people receiving help but also those giving it."
Grants and donations have enabled Anne to hire a full-time office worker and grow the organization. She now has 300 providers in 48 states and expects the number to double by the end of 2012. "For soldiers returning from Iraq or Afghanistan, it helps their mental health and overall well-being to have a clean home," says Anne. "That way they can just focus on healing."

World markets settle down after Fed-inspired jolt
LONDON Financial markets settled down Friday after the turbulence caused by U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's admission that the central bank may be done with its monetary stimulus next year.
On Wednesday, Bernanke said the Fed's bond purchases would likely slow down this year and end in 2014. That admission prompted widespread concerns among investors, who have grown used to the central bank's money-creation policies over the past few years.
- A day after Bernanke, fear grips the market
- Nowhere for the dumb money to run
- Bernanke holds the line on Fed monetary policy
The new money the Fed has created through its bond-buying program over nearly five years has been designed to shore up the U.S. economy. It has also been a major factor behind market developments. While stocks, U.S. Treasuries and emerging market currencies have gained ground, other assets such as the dollar have been undermined.
The prospect that the policy will be unwound sooner than many investors thought prompted big moves late Wednesday and Thursday despite U.S. economic data pointing to a solid recovery. Stocks, government bonds, in particular U.S. Treasuries, got hammered, while the dollar surged.
"There appears to be relative calm as markets open following a calamitous period since the Fed threatened to take away the steroids," said Mike McCudden, head of derivatives at Interactive Investor.
In European stock markets, the FTSE 100 index of leading British shares was up 0.5 percent at 6,192 while Germany's DAX rose 0.4 percent to 7,957. The CAC-40 in France was 0.8 percent higher at 3,729.
Wall Street was poised to recoup some of its losses over the past couple of days -- Dow futures were up 0.4 percent while the broader S&P 500 futures rose 0.5 percent.
The future of U.S. monetary policy isn't the sole focus of attention in financial markets despite the recent price action. Investors are also keeping a watchful eye on China amid signs that the world's number two economy is not growing as strongly as predicted.
"If markets had had only that to worry about then maybe the current sell-off mightn't have been so steep," said Michael Hewson, senior market analyst at CMC Markets. "Unfortunately when you put concerns about China into the mix as well it makes for a rather potent mix for risk aversion."
Fears over Greece have also resurfaced in recent days as concerns swell over the future of the coalition government that has been lauded, at least in financial circles, for the recent calm that has enveloped the most indebted country in the 17-country eurozone.
The latest concerns have arisen after one of the junior partners in the coalition, the Democratic Left, rejected a compromise deal over last week's surprise decision by conservative Prime Minister Antonis Samaras to close the public broadcaster. Though the other junior partner, socialist Pasok, accepted the deal, the future of the coalition government remains in question.
The International Monetary Fund has even hinted that it may delay its bailout payments to the country if pledged reforms aren't enacted.
As a result, the yield on the country's benchmark 10-year bond spiked 0.80 percentage point Friday to 11.35 percent. That's the highest in 2013.
Earlier in Asia, Japan's Nikkei 225, the region's biggest benchmark, bucked the losing trend in Asia, as the yen weakened against the dollar. That helps the country's exporters by making their products more price competitive abroad. The Nikkei rose 1.7 percent to close at 13,230.13.
Elsewhere, markets fell, but the retreats were relatively modest apart from in South Korea, where the KOSPI index shed 1.5 percent to close at 1,822.83. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index dropped 0.6 percent to 20,263.31 while the benchmark Shanghai index fell 0.5 percent to 2,169.70.
In other markets, trading was also largely calmer. Among currencies, the euro was 0.1 percent lower at $1.3214. However the dollar remained firm against the yen, trading 0.7 percent higher at 97.62 yen.
Commodities were also steadier after Thursday's big falls in the prices of oil and gold, which, among other factors, got hit hard because they are priced in dollars among others. The benchmark New York oil price was 62 cents higher at $95.77 a barrel while an ounce of gold rose 0.6 percent to $1.293.
