Authorities in upstate New York charged a 21-year-old woman with rape last week after she was accused of sexual contact with a boy younger than 15 years old.
Alexa Garnett, of Glens Falls, was charged with second-degree rape and second-degree criminal sexual act, both felonies, and one misdemeanor count of endangering the welfare of a child.
Washington County sheriff's deputies said Garnett had three sexual encounters with the teen, who authorities said was too young to legally consent.
The age of consent in New York is 17 years old.

Roasted Pear Salad Recipe
Oven-roasted pears take the ho-hum out of this green salad created by our Test Kitchen staff. They tossed together a good-for-you medley of mellow pear slices, crispy greens, nuts and dried cranberries. The creamy dressing carries yet more pear flavor sweetened with just a touch of honey.
- 2 medium pears, halved and cored
- 4 teaspoons olive oil, divided
- 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon water
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 package (10 ounces) mixed baby salad greens
- 1 cup watercress sprigs
- 1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts, toasted
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- In a small bowl, toss pears with 1 teaspoon oil. Place in a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 400° for 10 minutes. Turn pears over; bake 5-7 minutes longer or until golden and tender.
- When cool enough to handle, peel pears. Thinly slice two pear halves lengthwise and set aside. Place remaining pear halves in a blender. Add the vinegar, water, honey, salt and white pepper; cover and process until smooth. While processing, gradually add the remaining oil in a steady stream.
- In a large bowl, toss the salad greens, watercress, hazelnuts and cranberries. Arrange reserved pear slices on top; drizzle with dressing. Yield: 4 servings.

Well, another loss my friends. Since hardly any of the frequent posters are driven by results (you guys love moral victories), AND you all don't like dealing with reality, I thought I may be able to help you tune your focus on the facts. And guess what? I'm even going to provide an answer on what we need to do to move forward. We'll let fooch write a gripping piece on Tom Rathman, while I lead us to victory. Just kidding Fooch, you the man. Now comes the difficult part, the part where I have to say: "I told you so Niner Nation." So try to hang on through the post if you can because there is light at the end of the tunnel. I've compiled some the points you've thrown back at me over the past two seasons because I've never felt good about the product we put on the field. Needless to say I've taken some lickens (some deserved) and I have also have been right on the money. Lets take a close look back at some of the insight and where it's led us to date.
- Point one: We're building though the draft. Check, two O-line men. Result: 0-3 start. Who is the last player we've drafted under Jed Jr that has made any kind of impact? How much time do we need to give Jed? I thought he's the biggest fan of all time? Set on Jennifer Montanas lap right? Then I look at the chiefs who in just under two seasons have become a good football team.They just made significant changes to their organization through the draft and FA market. And the outcome is winning. Why cant we get that from the Yorks and the niners FO?
- Point two: Our leadership has spent plenty of money over the past few seasons to put a competitive team on the field. Check, Signed notables Westbrook, Ginn Jr, and Carr. What happended to Brandon Jones? Result: 0-3 start, and off to the 8th straight lackluster and underachieving season. Hey-Did you see Bouldins game today? Did you notice Thomas Jones cut us up for a TD today? Did you see that Matt Cassel make Alex Smith look like a little boy? What do Bouldin, Jones, and Cassel have in common? Free-agent pick-ups boys and girls. Ask yourself, what did our leadership do this off-season to put a WINNER on the field? Are you still beating your chest and saying that we did spend money to sign Vernon Davis and Patrick Willis? A teen-ager witha checkbook could have made that call. Again, that's the Yorks making it look like they've put a contender on the field.
- Point three: Mike Singletary has had the team perfectly prepared. I remember one NN poster saying: "We should have been up 17-0 in Seattle. That's not the Coach's fault, that's the players fault!" Check, Sing had 10 days to prepare for the Monday night game. Result: 4 turn overs, and a loss. Sing took all the motivation from the "moral victory" over the Saints and promptly lead the team out to a 31-10 loss today. Sing is horrid. And no we don't need to blow another season on him so that he has a fair try. Life is not fair, if you can't produce, you get replaced. Case closed. At least in every other business besides the one the Yorks run.
- Point 4: We don't need a QB, we need some stability at Offensive Coordinator. Check, Jimmy Raye is in for another year. Result: 0-3, Alex Smith has 5 picks in 3 games. He has been in the league for 6 years. He's gotten every opportunity under the sun. He's never taken it. In the real world, no one gets 6 chances. Why haven't we drafted or traded for a real QB talent? Ask yourself that? Derrick Anderson would have been a low cost upgrade so don't give me the garbage about cap space. I have a secret for you...the Yorks don't care.
- Point 5: I'm going to stop now. You'll never read this far.
Here is what we need to do: Don't blame any of the 49ers. It's not there fault, they haven't been given the tools to win and are the victims of the most piss poor executive leadership in all of sports. I don't know how many times you have to watch this team lose before you understand that the wool has been pulled over all of your eyes. The Yorks are not commited to winning. Can you honestly tell me, you believe in these guys?
So my suggestion is instead of telling stories about what great fans you are, and what a jerk off I am, stop and stick it to the 49er front office. Write the SF Times, the Chronicle, make signs at games, tell everyone you know how pathetic the niners FO is. At least we'd all have a united front. Jed York Jr , and any member of the FO, should not even be allowed to walk into a restaurant in the Bay Area without being accosted! Do you think Philly or NY would allow there football team to go through 8 straight seasons of what amounts to a colossal embarrassment? What team can you even think of that has even been as bad as SF has, for as long? The Browns? I wish we had time to even do the math or look in the history books. However, that doesn't matter. If we ever want respect and the team that has given us so much joy, it's down with the Yorks. Let us pray a rich silicon valley CEO will buy this team and we can rid ourselves of this disgrace.
And next week: Take a note from Art Blank. Now that my friends, is a leader committed to winning.

Everybody who comes to Cageside Seats has an opinion about what's going on in pro wrestling - the Smark's Shoot Standings (S3) are where YOU let us know YOURS. Cast a vote in the comments. Give us the top three performers you think entertained or impressed the most in the last week, and feel free to talk about why.
The S3 also keeps an ongoing tally of your votes, which we use to determine a Performer of the Year. Read on to find the latest version of the Standings and how that effected the annual list. Your feedback makes it all happen.
Remember, the Standings are for the previous week - the October 15th Raw, Wednesday night's Main Event, Impact Wrestling from the 18th and the SmackDown episode that aired on October 19th.
Make YOUR mark, smarks!
Everybody else had... No chance...
You rewarded one of the best characters in the history of WWE with first place in his first S3 of the year. We'll leave the judgement of what it says about the state of the promotion when the 67-year-old part-timer greatly outpaces the champion and laps the next guy in his company to place - rising star Antonio Cesaro, who came in 5th.
The new TNA champ tied for third with the highlight of that company's programming. A couple of talented guys WWE doesn't know what to do with tied for seventh. Our last spots were shared between a rising star, a tag team favorite who pushed to the front of an increasingly odd-plotted angle, and the first inductee into our celebrity wing.
The S3 - Week Ending October 14
1. Mr. McMahon
2. CM Punk
3. (tie) Bully Ray
3. (tie) Jeff Hardy
5. Antonio Cesaro
6. James Storm
7. (tie) Alberto Del Rio
7. (tie) Tyson Kidd
9. (tie) Devon
9. (tie) Seth Rollins
9. (tie) Larry King
Meaning that the only thing I had to do on this next list was raise Punk's point total:
The S3 Performer of the Year - through the Week Ending Oct 14
1. CM Punk - 190 points
2. Daniel Bryan - 162.5
3. AJ Lee - 111.5
4. Austin Aries - 103
5. Damien Sandow - 81.83
6. Dolph Ziggler - 79.5
7. Chris Jericho - 53
8. Kane - 48.5
9. Bobby Roode - 45.5
10. Brock Lesnar - 45
The Million Dollar Young Man came through for us with a weekly recap post, so check that out for a rundown of what was, for this smark, a really boring and disappointing week in pro wrestling. In theory, a lull like this should allow for some young and hungry workers to step up. Is anyone taking advantage and showing what this week's winner once called "Ruthless Aggression"?
Tell us your top three in the comments, and check back next week for how your votes make our S3!

As someone who loves Musical Theatre above all other artforms, I looked forward to seeing NBC's new musical offering, "SMASH", as much as anyone. With a Tony Award-winning creative team, legit Broadway stars, and the artistic muscle of Steven Spielberg on board, I assumed it could only be a knock-out sensation. Apparently, success with television is as unpredictable as guaranteeing a Broadway hit.
With famous names like Angelica Huston and Debra Messing alongside Broadway pros Megan Hilty and Christian Borle, "SMASH" could be so much more than what studio execs allowed with stereotypical, melodramatic subplots and the stunt casting of Katherine McPhee.
The Upside of NBC's SMASH
The performing arts is an industry that few understand unless you grow up performing and are lucky enough to call it your money-making career. "Life upon the wicked stage" is a tough life, to be sure.
"SMASH" allows the television audience a peek inside the world of Broadway, the daily grind for the creative artists as well as the performers who just want to work. The show also gets credit for diversity casting, putting strong women at the front of the pack when the theatre industry is still largely dominated by men. Colorblind casting and openly gay characters help set "SMASH" apart from other TV shows that shy away from showing America as it actually exists as a diverse culture.
The storyline of "SMASH" follows the mounting of a musical based on the life of legendary big screen goddess Marilyn Monroe. The musical numbers of "SMASH" are wonderfully written, costumed, and staged thanks, in no small part, to the Broadway aficionados behind the scenes. The songs were penned by Tony Award winners and Grammy Award winners Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, who also advised as Executive Producers.
Among the performers, Megan Hilty proves her worth as "Ivy," having starred in several Broadway productions including Wicked and 9 to 5. She is a very realistic possibility for playing "Marilyn" because she is a legit, dynamo Broadway singer and an emotionally versatile performer. Angelica Huston plays "Eileen," the producer who risks it all to fund the show, and allows audiences to see a softer, more vulnerable side of her as she navigates the patriarchy of professional theatre. Tony winner for Peter and the Starcatcher, Christian Borle also delivers a fine performance as "Tom," the composer half of the on-screen writing duo, alongside Debra Messing as lyricist, "Julia."
Here, the compliments end, and unfortunately, I must agree with others who say the musical within the TV show is a better show than the TV show itself.
The Downside of NBC's SMASH
The subplots of "SMASH" cater more toward stereotypes than real Broadway stories and border on soap opera melodrama. With a womanizing director, a successful career-woman who just wants to have a baby, and the back-stabbing, traitorous assistant, "SMASH" often seems to borrow its plot from the latest reality TV shows rather than the actual Broadway community.
As the director/choreographer "Derek," Jack Davenport comes across as too morose and self-interested to be a director of musicals, and any dance ability he is supposed to have is thoroughly lacking. On the other end of the spectrum, the overly cheerful "Ellis" was definitely not lacking in the creepy department. Whether it was the writing or the acting performance, or both, James Capero as "Ellis" is a slimy weasel so insipid he made my skin crawl. I am not a violent person, but I kept hoping "Ellis" would get killed him off. I love a great bad guy. Capero is not it.
In the category of "what were they thinking?," the producers cast amazing, powerful Broadway singer/performer Brian d'Arcy James in a role that does not sing. Playing Debra Messing's stay-at-home husband "Frank," James got a 30-second tuner with a ukelele toward the end of the season. I have not been this confused by such casting as the first time I saw Yentl and wondered why Barbra Streisand cast singing sensation Mandy Patinkin and then did not give him any songs to sing.
With "Frank" being a stay-at-home dad, this leaves the household income to be brought in solely by "Julia." While I appreciate this confidence in women's abilities to be the bread-winner, few female lyricists in the Broadway industry could claim such a financial feat. In fact, a 2002 survey of the national theatre industry in America showed only 20% of professional creative and design jobs are given to women. "SMASH" busts through the theatrical glass ceiling only to glue it back together as "Julia" pines for a child at the twilight of her breeding years. A female character who just wants to have a baby is not the kind of strong, successful, Broadway professional, female character I want to see.
The Problem with NBC's SMASH
The crux of "SMASH's" plot revolves around the competition over the casting of the role of "Marilyn." The second half of the season focuses on the emerging rivalry between experienced Broadway performer "Ivy," played by Hilty, and newcomer "Karen," played by "American Idol" finalist Katherine McPhee.
The whole storyline of mounting the Marilyn musical has a whiff of the old Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland films that asserted musicals can come together with a little elbow grease and a dollop of enthusiasm with "Hey, gang, let's put on a show!" "SMASH" takes that idea to a new level with a few-hundred-thousand dollars of "Eileen's" money and the musical writing super-duo "Julia" and "Tom" rounding out the gang.
Also thrown in is the "hopeful nobody" who dreams of being a Broadway somebody. With some training back home and a sparkle in her eye, "Karen" wants to be on Broadway. "SMASH" offers the "all you gotta do is believe" theme that reeks of a nauseating after-school special. "Karen" is fortunate to have a financially successful boyfriend to bankroll her New York City living. This boyfriend, "Dev," also has a one-nighter with "Ivy," who is currently sleeping with the misogynist, slimeball director "Derek."
At times, "SMASH" is too over the top to be tolerable. The melodramatic storylines actually made me wish I were watching "Glee" -- because crazy hormones can explain at least some of their antics.
In retrospect, watching the whole season to find out who would get the role of "Marilyn" was superfluous immediately upon seeing the TV show's poster. Yet, there was hope that the real Broadway pro, Megan Hilty, would be allowed to show the world what hard work and natural talent can do.
Megan Hilty is the no-brainer choice for the role of "Marilyn." Hilty can sing the role, showing effortless affinity for both sensitive, emotional ballads and powerhouse, belting showstoppers. A voluptuous, sensuous type of woman rarely seen on TV, Hilty is an inspiration for women with curves and singers who want to wow audiences all the way to the back row.
The major downfall for "SMASH" is the casting of Katherine McPhee. With an obvious background in studio recording, McPhee's vocal delivery bears all the hallmarks of a type of music that requires no projection and even less diction. Her breathiness may work for selling a song on an album, but not for singing in Musical Theatre. Her muddled enunciation throughout her numbers is only contrasted by the caricature delivery of her "Marilyn" voice. If a singer with a breathy sound and poor diction showed up for audition, casting would not even happen, much less consideration for the lead. Such bad vocal habits can spell doom for a professional stage singer.
McPhee also does not look right for the part of "Marilyn." She is tall and lean, lacking the famous sex goddess curves or the real Marilyn Monroe or the perfect Marilyn, Megan Hilty. When McPhee stands next to her stage "Joe DiMaggio," she is as tall as he is. In real life, Marilyn looked to men who were taller and older than she was, searching for father figures to shelter her from the ills of the world and the movie industry. In pictures of Marilyn with two of her husbands, Joe DiMaggio and playwright Arthur Miller, both men towered over her as she sought their protection.
Katherine McPhee may be famous and a good singer in the recording industry, but she does not have the chops to make it on Broadway as she is now. My poll on "SMASH" shows other thespians agree.
The Wrap-Up
The first season of "SMASH" brought Broadway to the fore of the television world, something that usually only happens one night each year with the Tony Awards. Cameos by Broadway, TV, and film stars, including Tony winning musical actor Norbert Leo Butz and Uma Thurman, were peppered throughout the season, making a nice game the following day of "Did you see who was on 'SMASH' last night?"
The season ended as "Ivy" over-identified with Marilyn and "Eileen" finally showed "Ellis" the stage door. "Derek" was predictably a jerk, and Dev was in turmoil over hurting "Karen."
For season two, Jeremy Jordan of Bonnie and Clyde fame left the current Broadway production of Newsies to take a role in "SMASH."
Of course, I will watch Season 2 of "SMASH," if for no other reason than to see if they will get the show on course and truly honor the Broadway profession, not sensationalize it with the temper tantrums of reality TV for the sake of ratings.
"SMASH" is set to return to NBC for the 2012/2013 season. Check your local listings for show times.

Chris Dominguez repeats as Big East Player of the Year
From the Big East: Louisville third baseman Chris Dominguez became just the second player in BIG EAST history to repeat as BIG EAST Player of the Year as he took home the conference's top individual honor Monday in advance of the 2009 BIG EAST Baseball Championship at Bright House Field. Louisville pitcher Justin Marks was chosen as BIG EAST Pitcher of the Year, while Connecticut outfielder George Springer was tabbed as the BIG EAST Rookie of the Year. USF head coach Lelo Prado was named the BIG EAST Coach of the Year. Dominguez is the first player to win the BIG EAST Player of the Year honor in consecutive seasons since Notre Dame's Steve Stanley won in 2001 and 2002. Dominguez shared the honor with Cincinnati's Josh Harrison in 2008. Dominguez led Louisville to its best regular season in school history as the Cardinals went 40-14 and captured the BIG EAST regular-season title for the first time. He finished the regular season as Louisville's leader in home runs (21), RBIs (75) and stolen bases (17). He led the BIG EAST in total bases (158) and was second in the conference in home runs, RBIs and slugging percentage (.721). He capped the regular season by hitting home runs in each game of the Cardinals' doubleheader sweep of USF, which gave Louisville the outright regular-season championship. Marks becomes the second Louisville player to be named BIG EAST Pitcher of the Year in the last three seasons, joining 2007 winner Zack Pitts. Marks finished the regular season as the BIG EAST's only nine-game winner, going 9-2 with a 3.47 earned-run average that ranks third in the conference. He struck out a BIG EAST-leading 106 batters and walked just 27 in 85.2 innings and went 7-1 in nine starts against BIG EAST competition.

Clare Computer Solutions (Clare), a San Francisco Bay Area business technology service provider offering computer network support, IT consulting and on-demand IT services, is advising businesses to develop a plan to migrate from XP to Windows 7 or 8. Microsoft will no longer support the Windows XP operating system (OS) after April 8, 2014.
Clare can handle the migration planning, secure the licenses and perform the migration with minimal business activity disruption as you migrate from XP.
"Businesses may not realize the complexity of migrating to a new OS," says Brad Mendonsa, CEO of Clare Computer Solutions. "Because the migration involves detailed planning, creating a budget specific to a company's needs, testing, implementation and training, it's important for companies to begin now."
Clare executives offer four reasons why planning needs to get underway in order to successfully migrate from XP.

Migrate from XP now

1. For some companies, such as those in the financial industry, there can be legal consequences if they continue using an unsupported system. It's time to migrate from XP.
2. The lack of new security patches for Windows XP means newly developed malware can exploit the OS, opening the door to viruses and other malware.
3. Printers, scanners, and professional equipment compatible with Windows XP will no longer be made.
4. It will be expensive for a business to support an unsupported OS, and will get more expensive the longer the unsupported products are in service.
With April just three months away, Mendonsa advises businesses to stop waiting and to take action before it affects business productivity.

Werner Patels (with stress on the second syllable: pa-TELS) is a freelance translator, interpreter and writer in Calgary, Alberta. After spending his formative years in Britain, Austria and Canada, he finally settled down in Canada (by choice). He holds degrees in translation/languages and political science. Werner Patels is a keen observer of politics and society. With an academic background in political science and experience inside a number of (federal and provincial) political parties, he has developed a good sense for all things political but is strictly non-partisan, yet utterly opinionated.
What made you decide to start blogging?
First, I started blogging about translation, language and culture, but then I graduated to political blogging. There was too much bad stuff happening in Canada at the time, in 2005, and so I began to air my views and opinions publicly. In the beginning, it was really more like a valve for me, so that I could vent. Nowadays, however, I pursue more journalistic objectives (at least, I hope I do).
What is your best blogging experience?
At the time of the Beijing Olympics, I had posted a brief note about how our entire family would boycott the Games because of the human rights violations in China and the recent treatment of Tibetans. Canada's leading national newspaper, the Globe and Mail, somehow got wind of my little personal remark, did an entire interview with me and featured me on the front page.
And your worst?
There's no particular event. Generally, though, I really despise anonymous trolls who come out of the woodwork and leave silly or insulting comments on other people's blogs. I also dislike bloggers who launch a hate campaign against one individual they don't like because of his/her ideology or something he/she may have written. I am a firm believer in the freedom of speech, but that degrading nonsense, which often deteriorates into malicious defamation and libel, however, isn't free speech and is what gives the blogosphere a bad name.
What do you regard as your best blog entry?
I provide two types of "blog posts": regular blog posts (i.e., daily "musings" and such) and "web columns", with the latter meeting the standard requirements applicable to columns or op-ed pieces printed in newspapers or magazines. They're always at least 600-800 words in length and 100% original content (i.e., no quotation boxes with material gleaned from other sites or sources). I can't pick any one entry in particular, so I'll say that all my "posts" marked as "web column" represent the "best in Werner's blogging".
Favourite blogs?
In the UK, I really like Iain Dale and Letters from a Tory. Among American blogs, Michelle Malkin's is one that I read regularly – I don't always agree with her (Canadian and US conservatives tend to see things quite differently). I also enjoy reading the various blogs produced by the staff of The Atlantic, such as Andrew Sullivan, The Huffington Post, etc. I also occasionally read some of the blogs associated with Bloggers4Labour. In Canada, I read virtually all main blogs, regardless of their ideology, that discuss whatever subject it is that I am currently researching. I always try to get as wide a variety of views as possible before writing about something myself.
You have said a no of times that Canada is not a country. In what way is it not?
Being next door to the US, it is only natural that we would compare ourselves to our siblings south of the border. One can say a lot of things about the US, good and bad, but one thing that the country has going for it is its cohesion. In Canada, it's always provincial governments against other provincial governments, and all provincial governments against the federal government. Most Canadians don't identify themselves as such, but as Quebeckers, Albertans, Ontarians, etc. There is no sense of national unity and cohesion the way we see it in the US. After 9/11, for example, it was said that Americans from coast to coast had really come together as one nation, as one people, in support of New York City. In Canada, this would have been impossible. If, say, Toronto had been hit, people in Québec and in Alberta would have staged major celebrations.
Americans are deeply rooted in their country, and everything that America represents. We don't have that kind of thing in Canada. Honestly, if one province suddenly declared independence, and this is just a matter of when rather than if, people in other parts of the country would hardly notice. There'd be an outcry in the mainstream media and in the chattering classes, but the average Canadian wouldn't be fazed or surprised. In fact, he would probably send that province a farewell card.
It's what I call a dysfunctional country, one that only exists on paper, as a utopian ideal, if you will, but not in reality. I'd love for Canada to become what it is supposed to be, but I doubt it'll ever happen.
How would you define the Canadian blogosphere?
It is extremely partisan: Liberals versus Conservatives versus Social Democrats versus "Progressive" bloggers, etc. Scanning the comments left on all those blogs, one sees a lot of venom and partisan drivel. I am proud to say that I don't belong to any of these partisan groups or blogging aggregators. Yes, I am, for the most part, a conservative, but I don't believe in blind ideology. What matters to me is common sense, plausibility and logical thought. In a way, I could summarize it in the words of TV judge Judy Sheindlin: "If something doesn't sound right, it's usually not true."
You have recently blogged about the problems Michael Ignatief faces as Liberal Party leader. Can you see him leading a Canadian government within the next few years?
Yes, I can. In fact, I think we'll see him in the Prime Minister's chair within the next 12 months. But let me make one thing quite clear: All our political leaders have baggage and problems. This is true of Mr. Ignatieff, as it is of our current Prime Minister, Stephen Harper. It comes with the territory of being in politics. I am convinced, however, that Mr. Ignatieff will prevail in the end for a number of reasons. First, he represents, or at least appears to represent, "classical liberalism", rather than the statist and Big-Government version of "Liberalism" pursued by the Liberal Party of Canada thus far. As such, he will be able to attract both liberal and conservative voters in the next election, and since a growing number of conservatives are absolutely appalled at and disappointed with their "conservative" prime minister, there is indeed a very good chance that Mr. Ignatieff will win next time. Personally, I wouldn't see that as such a bad thing. It might actually be quite good for Canada if he had a few years at the helm.
Is there anywhere abroad which you haven't been to, that you would like to visit?
China. Despite what I said earlier, about the country's human rights abuses, etc., I am fascinated by China on some level. I also have all my Mandarin textbooks and tapes and CDs sitting on my shelf, waiting there to be studied.
Is there anywhere abroad you have visited, that you would love to revisit?
Greece is a country that I used to travel all over. I have fond memories of the place – even used to be quite fluent in Greek too. Sometimes when I'm in a foul mood, I picture myself in some of my favourite spots in Greece and it calms me down right away.
Do you have a favourite political figure in history?
You may not agree, perhaps, but Margaret Thatcher is certainly in my personal Top 3. However, I couldn't just name one, because they all did achieve different things at different times and under very different circumstances. If you'll let me list three, I'll say, in no particular order, Thatcher, Obama and Tony Blair. I suppose my list proves that I am truly "post-partisan". Being generally of a conservative persuasion, I remember attending a speech given by Blair in Calgary a while back, and I and many other conservatives in the audience were cheering him on, urging him to become the next premier of Alberta. He turned down our generous offer, of course.
I supported Obama throughout the US election, and I still think that America got the best president available at the time. I don't always agree with what the Democrats have been doing lately, as a matter of fact, I have found myself at opposing ends with them, but Obama is a good guy.
Which figure has been your greatest inspiration?
This may sound corny, but I'll say my mother. She's the one who taught me to go through life with both ears and eyes wide open and always to apply common sense.
Favourite Bond movie?
Being a bit selfish here, I'd have to say "The Living Daylights", because I was an extra in the film, on location in Vienna.
Favourite Doctor Who?
David Tennant, hands-down. I don't know, but David has been just remarkable in the way he's portrayed the Doctor. He comes across as a real nutter, and I have to admit that this really appeals to me. I'll catch the remaining specials with him, and I'll continue to follow the series, but I am really sorry to see David go.
Chocolate, vanilla, or mint?
Vanilla, vanilla, and again vanilla. My fridge is stacked with bottles and bottles of vanilla milkshakes.
Which Band, past or present, would you most like to see in concert?
I'd say Johnny Cash and the whole "Cash & Carter gang". I saw them in concert several times – in Europe and Canada – and if they hadn't died, I'd love to see them in concert again.
In terms of visiting for the weekend, Vancouver, Ottawa, or Montreal?
Just for the weekend? Montréal, this way, at least, I can have some real poutine.
Favourite national newspaper?
Globe and Mail.
What would you say your hobbies were?
Reading, languages, learning any new things in general, music, playing with my two Yorkshire Terriers, watching (quality) TV, etc.
And what would you say were your three favourite songs and three favourite books (Bar the Bible and The Complete Works of Shakespeare)?
Books: anything written by John Grisham. Songs: Anything from the 1950s, 60s, 70s and 80s – sorry, no particular favourites. Oh, and I'm a real sucker for TV soundtracks. I have a vast collection of almost every TV theme from all over the world.

I've had the Montana Mitts in the past and just…
Price Paid: $60
I've had the Montana Mitts in the past and just bought a new pair. I brought them home only to find out they don't fit over my jacket cuff without tucking it in! Not like the previous style I had that fit right over the cuff. Not a good design.
Contacted TNF and they said it is preferred to wear your jacket over the top. Are you kidding me?! Not in my experience! Where will the snow go and how do you tighten the velcro on your jacket while wearing mitts??? Poor idea.
Where to Buy

Big Pass manatee-protection zone considered
Date: January 11, 2010
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
A request to extend a boat safety zone along Big Pass and North Siesta Key channel will be discussed at County Commission Tuesday.
The city of Sarasota asked the county to consider a slower speed zone in the area to better protect manatees, fishermen and kayakers.
Currently, once boats are outside of the existing boating safety zone, they are free to travel close to several docks.
The commission has two options. It can ask the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to extend the North Siesta Key boating safety zone along the Big Pass shoreline, which would also keep boats 150 feet away from the docks.
After its initial discussions with the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, county staff believes a new speed zone may not meet the criteria needed for approval.
The permit requires the new zone be within 300 feet of a blind corner, which it is not.
A new boating zone would require at least 40 hours of county staff time to request, as well as an unspecified amount of money to install markers and maintain the zone.
The commission's second option is to do nothing. County staff said marine law enforcement officials don't believe this is an area that poses a great risk to the public and would add a new burden on boaters.

A source tells Constine, "If y/y rev growth had accelerated, we could be talking LinkedIn multiples. Plus LI has expanding margins, which FB doesn't."

Reviews for Rainmaker LyricsPerformed by Iron Maiden

Add Your New Review About The Song
What a great song! | Reviewer: Lee | 9/12/13
When I was in a college, I was in a band and I played electric guitar. We performed a lot of legendary metal songs and this 'Rainmaker' was one of our favorites. Several years passed, but I still remember this song and whenever I hear this song, I feel much better.
Unite | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/8/11
Yeah, guys! Metal does unites us. We come from different countries, we speak different languages, but we've got one melody in our hearts, soulmates! I am grateful to people like Iron Maiden, who make my life complete in music sense, and who open we a Brave New World of millions of a kind \m/
We rock!
Alright fellow metalheads | Reviewer: The Hoard | 12/6/10
We'll all come to find that metal will never die. I know of no more fiercely loyal fans and people than metal fans. And that's the thing we actually like our music for the music, not because it's popular. The day I do something JUST because it's popular is the day I hang my hat up and quit having fun.
You'll notice that even the old metal is still popular, still around, still kickin ass, and still SELLING. rap albums are out for a month then forgotten 90% of the time. Metal is simply superior, hell it stood the test of time to prove it.
Rock out. Headbang hard. Have fun like nobody's watching.
Emo and Iron Maiden | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/7/10
Rainmaker is a brilliant song by a brilliant band and the emo girl everyone complains about is stupid, but please don't take it out on all emos! I love metal, rock, and punk but my personality is also kind of emo. So please, don't base your opinions off of idiots. If every person on Earth did that then we'd all be classified as drug dealing idiots who will get no where in life, which is the exact opposite of every metal lover I know and probably most fellow Iron Maiden lovers. And by the way, cutting is more of a stereo-type than fact. I'd accept being called emo but would hate anyone who called me a cutter.
Long live METAL | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/3/10
Metal is God. n Iron Maiden is d gr8tst relgion on earth. Long live metal.
Sometyms i thank god that m in d era of the Iron Maiden.
Rainmaker is another masterpiece of d Maidens. Xclent bass riff, gr8 solo n vocals, papa rythm, and ofcourse lyk every harris creation d lyric is godly.
Don't worry emo girl. Metal's very safe.
In this song i luv backup solo the most. N the starting intro is awesome.
Njoy metal frnds.....
Please dont stop the metal | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/25/10
Fellow metal heads,
dude maiden is by far my favorite band. and thats coming from a 14 year old GIRL! im going to their concert in chicago this summer. Tenacious D wrote a song called "the metal" saying nothing can defeat it. well i dont find that song even to be true metal. makes me mad. iron maiden, zeppelin, metallica, judas priest. this is the greatest stuff ever and will live on!
\m/ (*_*) \m/
EMO IS THE THING?? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/7/10
hey, man, oh, I mean... "MAIDEN", when an EMO band defeat Iron Maiden, Metallica, Led Zeppelin, Kiss, or anyother Metal Band, come to talk with us!
How can you compare a movement that appears something between 15 years ago with a band that, alone, have 35 YEARS OF CARRER??
if you find a Bassist like Harris, that is the world's best bassist, the beginner, and the best lyrics writer, be sure that it'll not be in an EMO band!
so, please... NUM FODE MALUKOOOO!
Ha ha... | Reviewer: Alex | 12/7/09
It's funny...Everything has tried to kill metal, everything has claimed to kill metal, but Metal lives on, I fail to see where Metal is dying, And as for the girl who was saying all that....I quite honestly think she was joking, she was the ninja who plants an insult and watches the others babble over it as if it was serious. Anyway, as for the song, it's my favorite Iron Maiden song, Dance of Death was a bit of a disappointment but what band doesn't have one of those slumps. Great song, great band, and long live the Metal!
Great stuff | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/27/09
The first time I listened to this album I was driving and after the first song, this one comes on, and I go "wait a minute... WOW" and played it like 3 times. I love the lyrics and overall mood they set. Although I wish there were more of them, it kinda repeats. Hell for that mater, I would love it if this song was like 7 minutes like Blood Brothers and The Nomad (2 of my other favorites). All in all one of my top favorite Maiden songs.
As for the "emo" girl, she, if she is a she, is straight up trolling (look it up). So ignore it and worry more about the song, you're only feeding the troll and it's ambitions.
Don't hate on the Emo bands to much either, cause a lot of the Screamo bands draw their roots from Metal, and often support the bands. For example in a picture of one of the bands (which I can't remember) one of the members was wearing a "Number of the beast" Album shirt.
and let me reiterate, GOOD FUCKING SONG
Maiden | Reviewer: Pancake | 9/13/09
I have been a metal fan for as long as i can imagine, but i gotta say, i never really got into iron maiden, i was also into the more melodic death metal, like in flames, amon amarth, soilwork, kalmah etc, then a few days ago i started listening to some iron maiden and just fell in love, i love the rainmaker and can't stop listening to it.
10 | Reviewer: MetalAge | 9/9/09
This song is just another of Iron Maiden's masterpieces,i just can't stop listening it...Metal music is getting more and more with new genarations,all smart ppl listen to metal,the real METAL AGE IS COMING,u think Iron Maiden is dying?Well on their concert they got more ppl then ur FUCKING RETARDED BAND will ever have,EMO is SHIT and u can suck our balls,IRON MAIDEN ROCKS,METAL FTW!!!
P.S Nice comments down there,you showed the bich where she belongs and what's the real truth :),METAL WILL LIVE FOREVER!!!
Chillax People! | Reviewer: Mr. | 9/6/09
Just sit back and listen to the goddamn music will you! I completely agree with the guy below. Stop beating the crap out of each other over emoism. Personally i don't give a shit about it i just commenting cus A i tired of this and B i just bored.
>:( | Reviewer: urdoom | 6/26/09
You're all sad piss taker's with nothing better to do than pick on a minority group, GROW UP!!! blame it on the jews or something you dumbasses, we all like metal, just different types so go get a life, and cut off your fingers so i don't have to read your bullshit. Great song though:)
haha :) | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/15/09
this song is amazing
i highly doubt that iron maiden will die out before all those emo bands. these guys are 1 in a million. those emo bands are just 1 of a million.
and that girl sounds like shes fucking 12 years old.
her post made me laugh.

Haha, am I the only one that finds it kind of sad that "metal" fans are getting so annoyed over that "emo" girls post? firstly, if you couldn't tell that it is most likely a joke or a little kid, then you're a bloody moron
also, it is kind of hypocritical to make fun of emo the way people do. just because some people in it are depressed little rich kids, it is also a genre that has a lot of good bands in it, just like metal. That being said, IRON MAIDEN FTW! :D love this song

New horizontal grinder designed for frequent moves.
The new 5710D horizontal grinder from Eugene, Ore.-based Peterson has been designed for operations that require frequent moves between jobs without a special permit, according to the company.
Powered by a Tier IVi Caterpillar C27 1,050 horsepower engine, the 5710D has the power to handle tough jobs, says Peterson.
The 5710D, which weighs in at 88,500 pounds, can be equipped with an optional transportation dolly that allows the Peterson 5710D to be easily moved and then setup for operation within minutes, the company says.
With a feed opening of 60-by-40 inches combined with Peterson's high lift feed roll, the 5710D is designed to reduce a wide range of material, including stumps.
The 5710D uses Peterson's Impact Release System that can be set in the detent mode to provide consistent product sizing or switched to the floating anvil mode for a primary reduction where accurate sizing is less critical. The floating anvil mode provides what the company calls high-production primary reduction with more protection from contaminated feedstocks and reduced fuel consumption.
The 5710D's new generation of controls includes Peterson's Adaptive Control System and a fully adjustable feed system that can be optimized for a wide range of materials.
The 5710D also features a large grate area that enables the 5710D to produce materials to exact specifications. A quick-change multiple grate system is designed to make it easy to customize grate configurations to produce a wide variety of finished materials. Grates are removed through an enlarged access door on the side wall of the 5710D.
Another innovation included on the 5710D is Peterson's Impact Cushion System. Urethane cushions allow movement of the compression roll/anvil housing pivot shaft, cushioning impacts caused by contaminants in the feed material. Shear pins above the cushion and a sensing circuit that stop the engine help protect the shaft from catastrophic damage in the event of a severe impact. More information on the 5710D is available at www.petersoncorp.com/.

Unexpected emergency Essentials 101
You do not know when and where the inevitable may occur. This is why packing your emergency essentials into a kit and putting them in different locations like your property, automobile, workplace, university, or bag is one of the greatest methods to be ready for it. In each and every emergency kit, there are a handful of emergency essentials that need to be included.
Food - This is 1 of the most critical issues that you need to have. It would be best to have healthy snacks such as biscuits, granola bars, and the like. You want to have much more healthier calories rather than empty ones from other snacks like chips. An unexpected emergency offer of healthy snacks will also make you really feel fuller for a extended stretch of time so it is a lot more practical to have.
Drink – Drinks should also be involved in your listing. The finest consume to have is of training course, h2o.
Very first Assist – Yet another critical point that you want to have in your emergency essentials checklist are first help resources and materials. It ought to include acetaminophen, ibuprofen, aspirin, ache aid, nutritional vitamins, prescription medications, gauze, cotton, alcohol, plaster, and the like. 1st support is one of the most important things you want in order to avoid illnesses and infections. It is also to remedy and take care of feasible accidents.
Flashlight – Flashlights are extremely helpful resources that must be outlined as 1 of your top priority things. Darkness can be really inconvenient so it is good to have a flashlight around with you.
Radio - A radio is viewed as essential. It can be employed to tune in to the information and delay for updates.
Batteries – Batteries are one particular of the most beneficial emergency essentials that you require to have. You want to have batteries to provide power for your battery operated tools and gadgets.
Blankets – Blankets are also beneficial items far too. It can serve as a resource of warmness, a cover up, and at moments, a sleeping location. Blankets can be adaptable so it is essential to have this as element of your kit.
GPS or Cellular Phone – Possessing a GPS or a cellular phone can help in tracking down your location. You can also effortlessly navigate around when you do not know exactly where you are planning.
I would suggest getting a pre-manufactured emergency essentials kit
By the time you buy all these objects individually it will usually price you a good deal more money then to just acquire a pre-made kit.
These are the most important emergency essentials that require to be integrated in your checklist and kit. You can both place a catastrophe survival kit jointly oneself or you can get prepackaged unexpected emergency preparedness kits from stores. Whatever you choose, make confident that all the emergency essentials are involved. Do not forget anything at all and location the kits in the locations that you frequently go to.

GOD DAMN LOOK AT THAT INTERNET Episode 3 - Irate Gamer
Monday, 19 July 2010 14:03
Whats so Irate about this guy, anyways?
07.19.2010 - 15:08 | GreyFoxoh yeah there are no internet reviewers who swear and are angry.
just the spoonyone, leisure suit gaming, armake21, the3nd, thegaminggose, pat the nes punk, and koikitsune. I guess they are all ripoffs according to your logic. IG fans are lame but AVGN fans are even worse.
07.19.2010 - 15:11 | Souji Seta
07.19.2010 - 15:23 | Maxwell RosenbergI was comparing Irate Gamer to AVGN. I know he doesn't have the copyright to anger and swearing. Also, I was improvising. As you can tell; my improv skills are still needing of improvement.
I will revisit the Irate Gamer in a much later episode, seeing as how I touched a nerve with you guys. Like I said; Improv isn't my strongpoint.
07.19.2010 - 15:23 | Ryu-Kage - The Irate GamerProbably even worse than anything said in this video is that the Irate Gamer sucks at the games he reviews. Watch his Ghosts 'n' Goblins review. It starts on the NES, but by level 2, we're watching the arcade version instead. AND he's using cheats in the arcade version like unlimited lives and unlimited time. Plus, the only alternate weapon his mentions in his review besides the lance is the torch. Did he forget about the dagger or just never found it?
Also, I wouldn't consider Ghosts 'n' Goblins a game marketed to kids. Difficulty aside, you're stabbing demons with huge lances. And I'm not sure if the red stuff that blows out from them is fire or gore.
07.19.2010 - 15:26 | Maxwell RosenbergOh yes, the Ghost 'n' Goblins review. One of his reviews that I did have to rewatch, because I noticed a change in graphics during the gameplay.
But like I said, I'm just going to have to revisit this much later once my improv skills improve. Plus I didn't really have enough time to finish up this episode, either.
07.19.2010 - 15:29 | Fracassi
07.19.2010 - 15:39 | TheDVDGrouch
07.19.2010 - 15:43 | Maxwell RosenbergYou're welcome. Always glad to know my videos contain at least some educational value.
07.19.2010 - 16:52 | InsomniacovrlrdWeather or not i agree with your content, it seems like you WERE reading from a script. Since you clearly edited your video clips together, why not edit voice clips together too? you flubbed a number of lines, coughed, etc. Things you could eradicate, if you'd record each paragraph or so independantly. Hell, linkara, NC, Spoony, tons of dudes do that. No shame in it, as long as it makes your video sound more coherent.
07.19.2010 - 16:59 | Maxwell RosenbergActually, it would've gone more smoothly and less awkward if I were reading from a script. Problem is, I haven't uploaded any scripted material yet. I used to have a pilot that was scripted, but I removed that when I revamped all of my series. Trust me; I'm much better with things scripted than I am with improvisation.
I also do edit the voice clips as well, since in its unedited form, there are many long silences within the whole clip. For this episode, there was at least four different times where there was a thirty to forty second silence between me speaking. However, I am trying to improve my improv skills, mainly doing things with only one take. This episode was an exception, since I had another take at commenting since I managed to flub up at counting. Like, I provided two examples of people who watch the Irate Gamer when I said there was only one kind of person who does. Thats when I record different takes.
Again, like I said; [b]GOD DAMN LOOK AT THAT INTERNET[/b] is unscripted. It's me trying my best at improvisation, even though my best doesn't exactly sound so coherent.
And thanks for the feedback.
07.19.2010 - 17:37 | SpeedyEricThe Irate Gamer's real name is Chris Bores. I guest he lives up to the family name.
Don't also forget that Boring Man also reviews good games, but treats then as bad games only to keep his show going on. What a shmuck.
4:17- But, there's a BIG difference: James Rolfe and Doug Walker are funny as Hell, where Chris Bores is less interesting than watching tree leaves grow.
Boring Man's "Breakfast Rant" is a complete ripoff of James Rolfe's "You Know What's Bullsh!t :!: " But like his video game reviews, the rant was completely pointless.

To see John's various profile pages and message boards or to order or get a book autographed, please visit the Contact page.
ohn Everson is the Bram Stoker Award-winning author of the novels Covenant (2004), Sacrifice (2007), The 13th, (2009), Siren (2010), and The Pumpkin Man (2011). All of these novels were released in paperback by Dorchester/Leisure Books. Limited hardcover editions were also issued from Delirium Books, Necro Publications and Bad Moon Books. Covenant, Sacrifice and Siren have been translated or are in the process of being translated and released in Poland, Turkey, France and Germany.
John's sixth novel, NightWhere, is due for release from Samhain Publishing in 2012.
Over the past 20 years, John's short fiction has appeared in more than 50 magazines, including Space & Time, Dark Discoveries and Grue, as well as in a couple dozen anthologies, most recently in Necro Files: Two Decades of Extreme Horror, The Green Hornet Casebook, Kolchak: The Night Stalker Casebook, Best New Werewolf Tales (Vol. 1), Best New Vampire Tales (Vol. 1), Best New Zombie Tales (Vol. 2) and Fell Beasts. His short stories have also been translated and published into Italian, Polish and French. A wide selection of his short fiction has been collected in five short story collections – Deadly Nightlusts (Blasphemous Books, 2010), Creeptych (Delirium Books 2010), Needles & Sins (Necro Books, 2007), Vigilantes of Love (Twilight Tales, 2003) and Cage of Bones & Other Deadly Obsessions (Delirium Books, 2000).
"Letting Go," one of the short stories from Needles & Sins was nominated for a 2007 Bram Stoker Award and three other short stories from the collection have been included in the Honorable Mention List of the annual Year's Best Fantasy & Horror anthology co-edited by Ellen Datlow.
John is also the editor or co-editor of the anthologies Swallowed by the Cracks (Dark Arts Books, 2011), Sins of the Sirens (Dark Arts Books, 2008), In Delirium II (Delirium Books, 2007) and Spooks! (Twilight Tales, 2004). In 2006, he founded Dark Arts Books (www.darkartsbooks.com) to produce trade paperback collections spotlighting the cutting edge work of some of the best authors working in short dark fantasy fiction today (the press has since produced seven anthologies). He is also a digital artist and musician – some of his dark techno songs serve as the soundtrack to the horror fiction CD-ROM anthologies Bloodtype and Carnival/Circus, and in 2003 he scored Martin Mundt's comedic serial killer stage play "The Jackie Sexknife Show" in Chicago.
John shares a deep purple den in Naperville, Illinois with a cockatoo and cockatiel, a disparate collection of fake skulls, twisted skeletal fairies, Alan Clark illustrations and a large stuffed Eeyore. There's also a mounted Chinese fowling spider named Stoker courtesy of fellow horror author Charlee Jacob, an ever-growing shelf of custom mix CDs and an acoustic guitar that he can't really play but that his son likes to hear him beat on anyway. Sometimes his wife is surprised to find him shuffling through more public areas of the house, but it's usually only to brew another cup of coffee. In order to avoid the onerous task of writing, he records pop-rock songs in a hidden home studio, experiments with the insatiable culinary joys of the jalapeno, designs book covers for a variety of small presses, loses hours in expanding an array of gardens and chases frequent excursions into the bizarre visual headspace of '70s euro-horror DVDs with a shot of Makers Mark and a tall glass of Newcastle.

This week Frankfurt is holding its annual book fair. With a history that arguably dates back to the 15th century when Johannes Gutenberg first invented movable type not far from Frankfurt, the Frankfurt Book Fair remained the central book fair for Europe through the 17th Century. Today, it is considered the largest of its kind in the world with more than 7,300 exhibitors from 100 countries, 299,000 visitors and over 10,000 journalists in attendance.
The Frankfurt Book Fair 2011 began on October 12 and is open to the exhibitors and trade visitors throughout the week and to the general public on October 15 and 16 from 9:00 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. For more information, visit the Frankfurt Book Fair website.

As seen on ESPN's spring training blog for the 18th:
Reliever Adam Miller is facing career-threatening reconstructive finger surgery if he is unable to find a new way to pitch effectively. Indians trainer Lonnie Soloff said Miller, who underwent surgery on his right middle finger last year, will spend the next seven to 10 days throwing to see if he can command his pitches without pain. If Miller can't, he will have a procedure where a tendon will be taken from his wrist to reattach the tendon in his finger. Soloff said the operation would cost Miller this season and perhaps end his career. Soloff said a buildup of scar tissue could make it impossible to pitch. The hard-throwing 24-year-old Miller came to training camp with a chance to win a job in Cleveland's bullpen.
Maybe he could borrow one of Antonio Alfonseca's? I'm sure he could spare a digit or two.

From The "Things You Didn't Expect To Read Today" File:
"As distressing as the injury to [Matt] Cain might be, a speck of good might be coming out of it. Ryan Vogelsong not only replaced Cain ably, but also dominated over three hitless innings, and the nonroster right-hander has emerged as a legitimate candidate to make the staff as a long reliever or -- should the need arise -- as a rotation replacement." -Andrew Baggarly, San Jose Mercury News It would appear that I've somehow fallen into an alternate universe.

These came in an email today from Robin Wilson Home and are a God-send given the time of the year. Personally, my allergies are going absolutely crazy. Maybe you can gleen something from these.
Myth: Vitamin C is beneficial for allergy sufferers
Truth: High levels of vitamin C can lower levels of histamine in the body, but beware: Fruit is not your friend. Many of our favorite fruits, from apples and bananas to peaches and plums, can cause symptoms similar to grass or tree pollen reactions. If you are sensitive, place the fruit in the microwave for 10 seconds to deactivate the proteins, and never eat the peel.
Myth: A hypoallergenic dog won't aggravate my allergies
Truth: There's no such thing as a hypoallergenic dog. Poodles, Labradoodles and Yorkshire terriers are all considered hypoallergenic because they don't shed hair, but there's no scientific proof that these breeds produce lower amounts of Can f 1, the most common dog allergen. Always wash your hands thoroughly with soap and hot water after playing with an animal.
Myth: Dust free equals allergy free
Truth: In general, the old saying "Cleanliness is next to godliness" is true. However, a little exposure to dirt and germs is actually a good thing, because it strengthens the immune system.
Myth: Shower often
Truth: Allergy sufferers are told to shower often to remove pollen and pet dander from their bodies. But beware of that shower curtain! The phthalate chemicals in vinyl shower curtains off-gas and poison the air with humidity and heat, and also attract mold and mildew. Always use a nylon shower curtain liner.
Myth: A pillowcase is enough to protect me from dust mites
Truth: If your pillow is more than three years old and has never been washed, it weighs more now than when you bought it. It's loaded with dust mites that are next to your face while you sleep. Use hypoallergenic pillows over down pillows, and use a zippered pillow protector that you wash weekly for a double barrier. Wash your pillow twice a year and replace pillows every three years.
Myth: Air fresheners will clean the air
Truth: Air fresheners are full of chemicals like formaldehyde, petroleum distillates, limonene, esters and alcohols. Use a soy candle as an option that contains essential oils and no perfumes, as it will burn cleaner. Or try a hypoallergenic spray such as Endust which is certified by the Asthma & Allergy Foundation of America.
