TPS board candidates to meet at Oct. 22 debateWritten by Justin R. Kalmes | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Toledo Free Press will host a debate for candidates running for the Toledo Public Schools Board of Education at 6 p.m. Oct. 22 inside the McMaster Center at the Main Library of the Toledo-Lucas County Public Library system.
Other media outlets partnering with the newspaper will be FOX Toledo, WUPW-TV 36, WTOD-AM Supertalk 1560 and Glass City Jungle, an Internet blog site that focuses on local news run by Toledoan Lisa Reneé Ward.
Five of the six declared candidates have confirmed their participation in the event. Former Toledo Mayor Jack Ford did not return phone calls or e-mails seeking his participation at press time.
Two seats on the five-member board are up for grabs on the Nov. 6 ballot.
Richard Brown, 33, an auditor with the City of Toledo, said in a prepared statement his work as a financial management professional could help a district that is facing financial challenges.
"This forum will give voters the opportunity to learn more about our experience and our vision for the district's future," Brown said.
Freelance graphic/Web designer Cheryl Catlin, 46, said she looks forward to discussing crucial issues that face the school district and talking about her campaign platform.
"Our community needs to have a conversation about what quality education looks like, and we need to to ensure the future for our children," Catlin said.
Harold Mosley, a patrolman in the Toledo Police Department's special victims unit, said he hopes to demonstrate to the public why his professional experience makes him the best choice for the board.
"I think the debate provides us all with a forum for people to see us side by side and hear what it is that we can bring to the table," said Mosley, 50. "Based on the debate, they should be able to make a well-informed decision as to who they might vote for."
Chris Myers, 32, Webmaster for the University of Michigan School of Education, said it is important voters familiarize themselves with the candidates before making their picks for the board. Myers unsuccessfully ran for the board in 2005 under the "3 for Change" platform along with current board members Darlene Fisher and Robert Torres.
"Toledo needs good school board members to have good public schools," Myers said. "I want to be up there because I want to give voters the opportunity to hear my ideas and suggestions to improve the school system."
Lisa Sobecki, 40, is a full-time mother and chairwoman of the Toledo Public Schools Parent Congress. She said in a statement her experience as the parent of a child in the TPS system makes her a qualified candidate.
"I understand the challenges our district faces and I recognize the need for concerned citizens to respond to those challenges," she said. "I look forward to bringing my message for change to this forum."
The Oct. 22 debate will be a free event, but tickets will be required for entry. Details on ticket availability will be announced in early October. Toledo Free Press Editor in Chief Michael S. Miller and FoxToledo anchors Laura Emerson and Karl Rundgren will moderate the debate, which will be hosted by WTOD morning show host Tom Watkins.
"Every one of the participating candidates immediately committed to the debate," Miller said. "They recognize how important it will be to distinguish themselves to the voters."

Economic Justice Research Guide
This research guide covers resources for researching economic justice.
The Poverty Law Research Guide and Organizing for Social Change Research Guide also offer excellent selections of resources that would be of use to students researching in the area of economic justice.
If you are researching for your seminar paper, our Research Strategies for Seminar Papers Guide will be very helpful to you. It will guide you through the different steps of research from choosing a topic to preemption check to focusing your research.
When you begin a research project, it is often helpful to have an overview of the topic, to familiarize yourself with the issues, and to learn what words are commonly used to describe them. This will aid greatly when searching for more specific information later.

To find out whether a journal is available in full text on any of the databases you have access to through the Law Library or the Main Campus Libraries, open E-Journal Finder. Choose "All" in the "Choose to view per Library" drop-down box and type the title of your journal. The result will be a list of databases that include your journal. Tutorial
2. Databases/Indexes
A more efficient way of searching for relevant articles on your topic than browsing journals is to search in journal databases or indexes. For instructions on how to search journal indexes and full-text databases efficiently and explanations on why searching journal indexes is a more effective method for articles research than full-text searching, consult Using Articles for Legal and Non-Legal Research research guide. Because of the interdisciplinary nature of this course, we are including many different types of databases.

Technology moves both ways. Sometimes it moves from air to ground and sometimes from ground to air.
The direction is not important. What is important is the urgent operational need that sometimes comes from a very unexpected direction . This is almost a paradox, but one that has caused loss of lives. Helicopters in many combat zones defined as "low intensity", are being shot down with the simplest weapons like the old RPG shoulder launched rockets or any other unguided projectile that can travel a short range in direct line. Direct aim, no sensors, a helicopter is downed.
Two unique Israeli active protection systems, designed to defend tanks and armed personnel carriers (APCs) from rockets and shells, may be converted for use on helicopters. The development direction is logical, but will involve a lot of miniaturization and other advanced technologies.
The drive to develop the new protection systems for helicopters stems from the success of similar systems that were developed for ground missions.
The Trophy made by Rafael and the Iron Fist, made by Israel Military Industries (IMI), create a hemispheric protected zone around the vehicle where incoming threats are intercepted and defeated. When a threat is detected, identified and verified, the system launches the classified interceptor and it deflects and destabilizes the rocket or shell, so that it does not hit its target.
Both systems are using special radar systems to locate and identify the threats.
While the Israeli Air Force (IAF) helicopters are using EW systems against missiles, there is a need to protect them against weapons like RPG rockets. These have downed many helicopters in Iraq, Somalia and Afghanistan.
Both companies confirmed that there is a "thought" about developing versions of the systems that will be carried by helicopters. Both companies were reluctant to be more specific, but sources say that the interest comes from some foreign air forces that have encountered the problem.
Converting the systems will involve downsizing them and changing the way the interceptors are being launched to defeat the incoming threat.
This is not an easy task, mainly because of the weight of such a system but as miniaturization breaks new records every month, the task seems more reachable.

|Return to conf.h CVS log
|Up to [DragonFly] / src / sys / sys
Device layer rollup commit. * cdevsw_add() is now required. cdevsw_add() and cdevsw_remove() may specify a mask/match indicating the range of supported minor numbers. Multiple cdevsw_add()'s using the same major number, but distinctly different ranges, may be issued. All devices that failed to call cdevsw_add() before now do. * cdevsw_remove() now automatically marks all devices within its supported range as being destroyed. * vnode->v_rdev is no longer resolved when the vnode is created. Instead, only v_udev (a newly added field) is resolved. v_rdev is resolved when the vnode is opened and cleared on the last close. * A great deal of code was making rather dubious assumptions with regards to the validity of devices associated with vnodes, primarily due to the persistence of a device structure due to being indexed by (major, minor) instead of by (cdevsw, major, minor). In particular, if you run a program which connects to a USB device and then you pull the USB device and plug it back in, the vnode subsystem will continue to believe that the device is open when, in fact, it isn't (because it was destroyed and recreated). In particular, note that all the VFS mount procedures now check devices via v_udev instead of v_rdev prior to calling VOP_OPEN(), since v_rdev is NULL prior to the first open. * The disk layer's device interaction has been rewritten. The disk layer (i.e. the slice and disklabel management layer) no longer overloads its data onto the device structure representing the underlying physical disk. Instead, the disk layer uses the new cdevsw_add() functionality to register its own cdevsw using the underlying device's major number, and simply does NOT register the underlying device's cdevsw. No confusion is created because the device hash is now based on (cdevsw,major,minor) rather then (major,minor). NOTE: This also means that underlying raw disk devices may use the entire device minor number instead of having to reserve the bits used by the disk layer, and also means that can we (theoretically) stack a fully disklabel-supported 'disk' on top of any block device. * The new reference counting scheme prevents this by associating a device with a cdevsw and disconnecting the device from its cdevsw when the cdevsw is removed. Additionally, all udev2dev() lookups run through the cdevsw mask/match and only successfully find devices still associated with an active cdevsw. * Major work on MFS: MFS no longer shortcuts vnode and device creation. It now creates a real vnode and a real device and implements real open and close VOPs. Additionally, due to the disk layer changes, MFS is no longer limited to 255 mounts. The new limit is 16 million. Since MFS creates a real device node, mount_mfs will now create a real /dev/mfs<PID> device that can be read from userland (e.g. so you can dump an MFS filesystem). * BUF AND DEVICE STRATEGY changes. The struct buf contains a b_dev field. In order to properly handle stacked devices we now require that the b_dev field be initialized before the device strategy routine is called. This required some additional work in various VFS implementations. To enforce this requirement, biodone() now sets b_dev to NODEV. The new disk layer will adjust b_dev before forwarding a request to the actual physical device. * A bug in the ISO CD boot sequence which resulted in a panic has been fixed. Testing by: lots of people, but David Rhodus found the most aggregious bugs.

Forum: Narcotics Anonymous
The research has been done, the instructions to stop the madness are available at your local meeting.... NA was originally created by heroin addicts for heroin addicts in the 1950s. Fashioned after the Alcoholics Anonymous program, the NA program has helped 100s of 1000s of addicts to live a successfully recovering life. This forum is not necessarily NA only. There are many facets to addiction and just as many 12 step programs. Welcome to those who are already 12 steppers and to those who are curious or interested in learning about the program. Please folks let's keep it positive! If you think NA meetings are a bunch of malarky or if you think it's not for you then by all means feel free to refrain from posting.

9:33 AM MDT | April 21, 2008 | Chemical Week Editorial Staff
Officials from the European Climate Change Programme (ECCP), a European Union (EU) body, have embarked on a scheme to identify which energy-intensive industries in the EU might need "protection" from the financial impact of recently announced proposals by the European Commission to toughen EU greenhouse gas (GHG) emission controls (CW, Jan. 28, p. 9). ECCP has begun gathering data from EU member states and industry to determine which sectors will be affected most by the tougher controls. Cefic warned the commission recently that the EU chemical...

How to transfer .prc files to your Kindle or .epub files to your Nook
Have you hesitated to take advantage of all the freebies and deals you can get through Smashwords coupons because the process seems daunting? It's true that it will always be easier to buy direct for our Kindles and Nooks, but sometimes it's worth a few extra steps to get a book.
The link to a book at Smashwords takes you to that book's page.
You can practice with a free copy of Space Junque at this link
On the book's page, scroll down until you see this menu (click on image to enlarge it):
1. Save the .mobi (same thing as .prc) file to your computer. Right click and choose "save as" – it's probably easiest to save it to your desk top.
2. Attach the usb cable to your laptop, then wait for the directory window to come up. The page on your Kindle will change, but you don't have to pay attention to that.
3. Open the "open folder to view files" folder, then open the documents folder.
4. Copy and paste the .mobi (or .prc) file from your computer into the Kindle's directory. Then you can close all the folders and detach your Kindle from the computer. On the Kindle, the regular menu will reappear.
Voilà! the file will be in your Kindle's menu.
For Nook:
1. Choose the .epub file to download by right clicking on it and choose "save as" then save it somewhere easy to find again – either the desktop or create a folder for your downloaded books.
2. Plug the USB cable from your Nook into your computer. It will appear as an additional drive on your computer. Open the directory to that drive.
3. Find the book file on your desktop or in its folder and simply drag it (or copy and paste) to the open directory.
Voilà! the file will be in your Nook's menu, and you can close the directory and unplug the Nook from your computer.
One nice thing about a Smashwords coupon – you will always be able to go back and re-download your book in all the formats offered, so if you get a different kind of ereader, you don't have to buy the book again.

About this time last year, we had just released an exciting workshop video and DVD about what has become one of my favorite jewelry-making techniques ever--electroforming.
Now that I've had the chance to try it, I'm still as fascinated by this technique as I was when I wrote about it last year. I'm in love with the ability to coat organic and other unique items with real metals, creating shapes and textures in metal that would be so difficult--or nearly impossible--to create using traditional metal fabrication methods.
Metal Magic: Electroforming Organic and Other Materials for Jewelry Making
For weeks now, my friend and co-worker Denise Peck (editor of Step-by-Step Wire Jewelry, author of great jewelry-making books, and host of fun and instructional jewelry-making DVDs) has been teasing me with photos of her electroformed pieces of organic material, such as seed pods and tiny flowers that she turns into amazing unique jewelry.
Her new electroforming DVD is finally finished, and I'm so excited about the possibilities for turning all the stuff--leaves, bits of sea creatures, seed pods, acorn caps, and other bits that I've been collecting in nature for years--into jewelry. I have tons of seashells and sea creatures saved from beach trips with my mom, flowers and seed pods collected in my grandmothers' yards and gardens, pressed flowers saved from various authors' graves and gardens during a semester in England, and so many more bits and pieces--all of which can become meaningful jewelry mementos.
You might be thinking, "Hold on, missy. What is electroforming, anyway?" I'm so glad you asked!
What is Electroforming?Simply put, electroforming allows you to use low-voltage electricity to coat organic (and other) objects with a layer of real metal. All of the intricate designs in patterns you see on seashells, leaves, flower petals, acorns, etc., could take days to re-create using traditional metal fabrication techniques--if you can do it at all. But with electroforming, you can preserve and display those pieces in real metal, such as copper, silver, even gold and others.
Continue reading Metal Magic: Electroforming Organic and Other Materials for Jewelry Making.
If you'd like to see more of Denise's electroformed creations and learn the rest of the process for electroforming found objects, natural/organic materials, and just about anything else (and I know you do!), instantly download her Easy Electroforming for Jewelry video workshop (also in HD).
P.S. Check out my fun experiments with electroforming too--and see how much fun I had!
DENISE PECK is the editor of Step by Step Wire Jewelry and author of four best-selling books: Handcrafted Wire Findings, 101 Wire Earrings, Wire Style and Wire Style 2. She is a trained metalworking artist and teaches regularly at Bead Fest shows around the country. Her other DVDs: Metalwork: Wire Fusing & Other Micro-Torch Techniques and Metalwork: Making Bezels for Stone and Found Objects with a Micro-Torch offer more great lessons in making jewelry with a torch.

This morning at breakfast guests of Brook Farm Inn were delighted to see hummingbirds at the feeder outside the dining room window.
Additionally, we were visited by an indigo bunting and a pileated woodpecker visited the tree stump in our back yard.
After living most of my life in urban areas where wildlife was squirrels and pigeons I am still amazed (even after 10 years) at the variety of birds we have in the Berkshires.

A few dozen brave swimmers took a dip in some cold water to help give the people of Haiti some clean water.
About 50 people took the plunge Saturday into Fish Lake in Maple Grove. The local rotary club sponsored the event and says these brave plungers will help save lives in Haiti.
"Half the people in Haiti get their water from contaminated rivers and streams," says Dale Snyder of Haiti Outreach. He says that has exasperated the cholera problem.
The group has drilled some 300 wells in the last 15 years, he says.
Those wells have helped bring clean water to more then 200,000 people.

Steamboat Springs Vacations
Steamboat Springs is a resort town in northwest Colorado. Its legendary "champagne powder" snow and reputation for producing Olympic athletes have given it the nickname "Ski Town USA." In summer the area offers great hiking, fishing and kayaking opportunities.
Originally, skiing was the only transportation option in Steamboat Springs during harsh Rocky Mountain winters. Today, the resort is still a famous ski and snowboarding destination.
Hit the slopes at two ski areas. Steamboat Ski Area is the largest and most popular. It is located on Mount Werner, the town's main mountain. Explore more than 150 trails spread over several thousand acres. The area caters to all skill levels. Experienced snowboarders and skiers can test their skills in the notoriously challenging Mavericks Superpipe.
Howelsen Hill is the oldest continuously operating ski area in Colorado. The area is a smaller and more affordable option to the Steamboat Ski Area. Winter Olympic athletes frequently practice and train here.
The area surrounding the base of Mount Werner and the Steamboat Ski Area has shops, dining and nightlife. Downtown is Steamboat Spring's cultural hub located 4 miles (6.4 kilometers) from the Steamboat Springs Ski Area. Downtown stretches for eight blocks along Lincoln Avenue. Go shopping here or enjoy dinner and a movie.
The Yampa River offers endless entertainment during the warmer months. Go rafting, tubing or kayaking down the river and enjoy the breathtaking scenery. Fishermen also flock to its shores in the hopes of catching one of the area's famously large trout. Routt National Forest, which surrounds Steamboat Springs, is worth a visit in any season. Visit Fish Creek Falls, a waterfall that gushes water from a height of 283 feet (86 meters).
In good weather, you can drive to Denver from Steamboat Springs in under 4 hours. A local airport in nearby Hayden offers direct flights to many major cities. Once you're in Steamboat Springs, use the frequent local bus service that connects the ski areas with downtown.

Hey all,
How would one set it up so a new folder would produce a different folder each time than the blue folders? I know the cut and paste thing to change the appearance, but there must be some way through a script or something to have this happen every time. I use my powerbook in a million different ways and I am getting tired of the sameold blues.....darn i just saw I needed to put this in a different area of the forum- sorry.
Any ideas?
Best- m3

Contact Information
CalARP PROGRAM FACILITY INSPECTIONS
Contact Information:
The process to review an RMP after formal public review and LAFD CUPA evaluation review have been completed, can be found here. Currently there are no RMPs available for public review.
Inspections are site visits to check on the accuracy of the Risk Management Plan (RMP) data and on the implementation of all CalARP Program elements. During inspections, the CUPA reviews the documentation for program elements, such as the process hazard analysis reports, operating procedures, maintenance schedules, process safety information and training. The inspection involves both off-site and on-site activities. Off-site activities might include determining that the regulations apply to the facility, that the facility placed itself in the correct RMP level, and that the facility submitted a complete and correct RMP. Cal ARP Program inspections always involve on-site verification activities that might include verification of documentation; interviews with facility managers, employees, and employee representatives; as well as observations of ongoing process operations or maintenance activities.
- After 30 days, re-inspection is conducted. Legal action is prepared (photos, contact person, date, and time).
- Request for legal action packet for legal action against business.
- Los Angeles City Attorney's Office conducts hearing.
- Appeal to Fire Commission.
- Sent to Los Angeles City Council for decision on appeal.
Enforcement Philosophy
Enforcement activities are an integral part of the CalARP Program. Compliance with public safety and environmental regulations is the ultimate goal of enforcement.
- Return violators to compliance in a timely manner.
- Penalize violators, as appropriate, and to deprive violators of any significant benefit gained from violations.
- Treat similar facility owners and operators equally and consistently with regard to the same types of violations.
- Initiate and conclude enforcement activities in a timely manner.
- Promote compliance with statutes and regulations.
- Prevent any businesses from having an unfair business advantage through non-compliance.
- Educate the business community.
- Deter violators of hazardous material/waste rules and regulations.
- Informal enforcement is an action other than a formal enforcement action that notifies the regulated business of its non-compliance and establishes a date by which that non-compliance is to be corrected. Examples include a letter or notice of violation. Informal actions do not impose sanctions.
- Formal enforcement is an action which mandates compliance and initiates a civil, criminal, or administrative process which results in an enforceable agreement or order. Enforceable means the instrument creates an independent, affirmative obligation to comply and imposes sanctions for the prior failure to comply. Sanctions include fines and penalties as well as other tangible obligations, beyond returning to compliance, that are imposed upon the regulated business. Examples include administrative orders and civil and criminal referrals to the appropriate prosecutor.
- Administrative enforcement allows Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) to pursue an action independent of an outside prosecutorial agency and to determine an appropriate penalty based on the circumstances of the violation. Administrative enforcement has the following advantages:
- Provides sufficient enforcement response for cases requiring formal action but are not appropriate for referral to an outside prosecutor;
- Generally produces a faster response than criminal and civil enforcement;
Preserves LAFD control over the process;
- Has less formal rules of evidence as compared to criminal or civil enforcement; and
- This may be the only formal enforcement process available when other prosecutorial resources are limited.
- LAFD has pending request to City Council that gives the Department authority for Administrative Enforcement Order (AEO).
- Regulated substances held onsite at the business;
- Offsite consequences of an accidental release of a regulated substance;
- The accident history at the business;
- The emergency response program for the business;
- Coordination with local emergency responders;
- Summary of Hazard Review/Process Hazard Analysis;
- Summary of operating procedures;
- Operator's training information;
- Mechanical integrity information;
- Incident investigation procedures;
- Compliance audits information.
- Provide basic information that may be used by first responders in order to prevent or mitigate impact to public health and safety and to the environment from an accidental release of a regulated substance.
- Satisfy federal and state Community Right-To-Know laws.
- Owner/Operator of a business that has more than a threshold quantity of a regulated substance in a process may have to complete and submit a Risk Management Plan.
- If a business has a process with a regulated toxic substance, it must be included in the community emergency response plan prepared under Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA, also known as SARA Title III) regarding a response to a potential release.
- If a business has a process with a regulated flammable it must ensure that the local fire department is capable of responding to a potential release and aware of its responsibility to do so.
- An emergency response plan (ERP) that includes: Procedures for informing the public and emergency response agencies about releases and emergency planning, Documentation of proper first aid and emergency medical treatment necessary to treat human exposures, and Procedures and measures for emergency response after an accidental release
- Procedures for using, inspecting, testing, and maintaining emergency response equipment
- Training for all employees in relevant procedures
- Procedures to review and update, as appropriate, the emergency response plan to reflect changes at the facility and ensure that employees are informed of changes.
- ERP must be coordinated with the community plan developed under EPCRA. In addition, at the request of local emergency planning or response officials, any information necessary for developing and implementing the community plan must be provided.
An emergency response plan is only one element of the integrated effort that makes up an emergency response program. Although the plan outlines the actions and equipment necessary to respond effectively, training, program evaluation, equipment maintenance, as well as coordination with local agencies must occur regularly if a plan is to be useful in an emergency.
Initial Public Notice: the Unified Program Agency (UPA) shall publish notice in a local newspaper of general circulation that the RMP has been submitted and the UPA has initiated the process for government and public review.
These procedures are similar to the ones used in the Federal Reading Room.
- At LAFD CUPA Office's public may access Risk Management Plan, including Off-Site Consequence Analysis (scenarios) portions of RMPs. Public may read and take notes of any RMP information. However, this information may not be removed, photocopied, or otherwise mechanically reproduced.
- Public may access OCA information for up to 10 facilities per calendar month, without geographic restriction, by showing photo identification issued by a Federal, State, or local government agency such as a driver's license or passport. Public will also be asked to sign a certification on a sign-in sheet and Confidentiality Statement.
- Public may also access OCA information for all of the facilities that are located in or potentially impact the jurisdiction of the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) where member of a public lives or works. To access local information, appropriate documentation showing home or work address and signature on a sign-in sheet must be provided.
- LAFD CUPA's office is "By-Appointment" Reading Room and requires public to set up an appointment and request RMP Information from specific facilities, located in LAFD jurisdiction, several days in advance. It provides the public with read-only access to RMP Information, including Off-Site Consequence Analysis, for local facilities.

'Leftovers' Premiere RECAP
Chloe Gilke: Two percent of the world's population vanishes, instantaneously and without explanation. It's not the rapture — unless Gary Busey merits being grouped with the Pope and innocent babies. With HBO's extensive promotion and all those elaborate trailers, it was pretty clear that "The Leftovers" would be prestige misery porn. You know — parades, underwater screams, Justin Theroux shirtless and punching a wall. But, what I was least expecting from "The Leftovers," helmed by "Lost" vet Damon Lindelof and novelist Tom Perotta, was a quiet suburban drama. More than the central mystery (which remains inscrutable after one episode), "The Leftovers" is a heartbreakingly familiar tale about a community torn apart by disaster. It was also one of the best pilots I've ever seen. I'm particularly amazed at Lindelof's ability to make viewers feel such strong emotions for new characters. I don't want to be too hasty with my praise, but after such a stunning pilot, I expect a bright future for "The Leftovers."
Akshay Seth: While I do think this episode had it's flaws — the biggest one being not really getting a chance to see Buddy Garrity drop a couple more f-bombs — I agree that Lindelof and Perrotta composed an excellent opening chapter to what looks like 10 hours of theology-tinged depression. The disappearance of two percent of the world's population is frequently described a rapture-like occurrence throughout the episode, but the biggest takeaway from this premiere was the uncertainty surrounding the events, an uncertainty perfectly encapsulated in a brilliant opening scene and one driving the leftovers to violence and pent-up existential confusion. We start off with Kevin six-pack *ahem* Garvey, whose wife joined the G.R., a weird cigarette-toting cult, after the disappearance and though it's obvious the police chief has plenty of problems, he's making moves from the get-go to put the past behind him and move on. Watching that composure slowly deteriorate by the time the end-credits roll and he's unloading his pistol into a pack of feral dogs was a poignant reminder that a confrontation with the past is finally brewing.
Chloe Gilke: The violent murder of the dog at the beginning of the episode initially seemed like a cheap shock tactic, but the neat thematic resonance quickly justified the violence. A couple of wise teen twins impart the knowledge that the dogs that were unfortunate enough to see their owners depart just snapped, turned wild and dangerous. The same is happening to the leftover humans, just slower. We get a glimpse of the slow disintegration of sleepy Mapleton through the G.R., who are apparently nonviolent, but are quickly growing in numbers and stalking new members. Laurie Garvey (yes, Kevin's wife) follows potential recruit Meg, eventually pulling her from wedding planning and an overeager fiance and introducing her to the place of refuge. With no dialogue, it's hard to gather the exact beliefs of the G.R., but Meg should be a seamless introduction to their theology. From what we know so far, cigarettes are a metaphor, members wear only white, and the cult is organized like its own small society. I know you mentioned Buddy Garrity, but I was also distracted by Kathy Geiss of "30 Rock" fame sitting in a cult meeting. More of this, please.
Akshay Seth: OK I know this is stupid, but it's been bothering me. Seriously ... why would a cop ever need a six-pack? When would he even have time to maintain it? I guess what I'm trying to get at is the people in this series are way too attractive to not be CW props. On the topic of hyper-attractive people, it's worth mentioning that seemingly, the weakest part of the premiere was the storyline Jill Garvey had to work with. She looks like a genuinely interesting character, unwilling to move on from the disappearance three years ago and still not over the fact that her mother essentially abandoned her, but in this episode, it's as if the writers just said "teen, of the acting out variety" out loud and drew in her face. The weird BDSM game of spin-a-bottle (or, in this case, spin-an-iphone-app) felt completely out of place and had very little to do with any of the broader thematic questions we got to tackle through some of the other characters. The last scene with her, the twins and the dead dog was intriguing, but had nothing to do with the hour-long Gossip-Girl-esque love triangle (?) we experienced before it. I seriously hope this episode is just a spring-board for her character, like the other members of the cast, to start tackling that decidedly tangled past.
Chloe Gilke: I am never one to complain about gratuitous shirtless men, especially when they're sporting a back full of tattoos, a stubbly face and a perfectly tailored cop uniform that looks straight out of a Nicholas Sparks movie. (Plus, Kevin is running when he sees the dog get shot. We all know that running makes you immediately look like a CW Dad). I agree that Jill had the weakest material in the episode, although I chalk that up more to her annoying friend Aimee than any fault of her own. Margaret Qualley is doing a fine job with the material she's given, especially the solemn dog burial scene with the twins. But, like so many cable dramas, the teens seem like halfhearted stereotypes compared to their compelling parents. The other ridiculously handsome Garvey kid, twentysomething Tom, enjoys ignoring his father's phone calls and working for a holy healer named Wayne. Wayne is intriguing, but I could do without Tom's schoolboy crush on gummi worm enthusiast Christine.
Akshay Seth: I'm hoping her narrative gets a little stronger in the next few weeks, because though this first episode did a wonderful job of putting us in each different character's head space, we never really got a unifying plot point to push us into the rest of the series. Like you mentioned, the creepy Wayne guy gave us a maybe-glimpse into what that plot point might be by warning Tom to keep his hands off of Christine, who is meant to play a large role in whatever's going to go down, but really, all that tells me is Tom has to get emotionally involved. I think the most interesting parts of this episode were the brief little peeks we got at Meg Abbott's, played by Liv Tyler, life. Lindelof and Perrotta did this wonderful thing where they'd spend three or four minutes setting up Abbott's transition toward her new life with her fiancee, and just as we'd see her start to leave all that sadness from the disappearance behind, the cult members would pop up and smack her back to her more tortured past. Her never really explaining that ultimate decision to join the cultists and confront that past was incredible poignant and I'm looking forward to see where she goes from here.
Chloe Gilke: I'm interested to see the repercussions of Meg leaving her fiance. She seemed to be showing some hesitance to his clingy romanticism (a wedding isn't the vows, it's the pomp and celebration), but it was still a surprise to see her showing up at the G.R. stomping grounds ready to join the cult. There's a parallel between Meg's abandonment of her clueless husband and the Garveys' situation — again, there's a strain in the relationship that the disappearance may have brought about. The scene previous to Meg joining the chain smoking club, for me, was probably the best of the episode. After a few beers, he stumbles over to the G.R. headquarters, yelling for Laurie. He begs her to return, she stares sadly and silently as her fellow cult members beat up her husband's pretty face. Having only seen Justin Theroux in some of his campier roles ("Your Highness," a cinematic masterpiece), I didn't fully buy his performance until this moment. He's at once haunted by his past and desperate to get it back.
Akshay Seth: We could go on talking about this extended Garvey family because I think it's pretty obvious right from the get-go that they'll be the moral centerpiece of at least this first season, coming to represent a final "coming to terms" with the past mentality, but the smaller characters intrigued me as well. Lucy Warburton, the fuck-you-in-the-face, take-no-shit mayor of Mapleton is by far my favorite character so far, and the dog hunter (dog, the bounty hunter), who only had one line in the entire episode seems like he knows what's up. I really do hope the series continues to sprawl and be more about the "smaller" residents of this town as opposed to this central unit of the Garvey family.
Chloe Gilke: Aside from those standouts, a handful of other minor characters were intriguing even with relatively little screentime. Nora spoke at Heroes Day, and her story about losing her husband and children was heartbreaking and memorable. Matt, played by Christopher Eccleston of "Doctor Who" fame, is a conspiracy theorist with pamphlets and stories about how the departed weren't such "heroes" after all. With such a talented cast and such interesting side characters, as intrigued as I am by the Garveys, I hope we don't have another "True Detective" situation on our hands. It worked for that show, but such a narrow scope would leave out the opportunity for other perspectives on the rapture (or whatever it is). This will hopefully be the last time I bring up "Lost" in any of these recaps, but Lindelof has a great history of exploring diverse characters on that show. I can only hope he'll continue it with "The Leftovers."

Bloom's open doorOrlando Bloom says he has "left the door open" for a reconciliation with Kate Bosworth.
The 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star hopes the couple can get back together at some point when they aren't so busy.
Bloom - whose break-up from Kate happened in January - said: "We're on very good terms. We are very close. We both know we have a lot of time apart with work coming up and we thought we would leave the door open."
Meanwhile, the heartthrob star says he is looking forward to eventually settling down and becoming a father.
The 28-year-old actor, who has previously dated Hollywood babe Christina Ricci and Jude Law's girlfriend, Sienna Miller, has revealed he can't wait to become a parent - but still has some growing up to do first.
He told Britain's Elle magazine: "I'm going to have bundles of children. I feel like I'll make a really good dad, but I've just turned 28 and I've got to get some stuff out of my system before I can think about it."

Do They Still Import China's Secret Vinegar?
It seems to have disappeared, and I can't find it online, though I've tried many search tricks. I think it's better than balsamic, a lot cheaper, and I can't find it anywhere. Help. Thanks.
Do you mean chekiang/chinkiang black rice vinegar?
re: schlimmerkerl
OK, I didn't read the title of your post correctly.
I didn't realize that "China's Secret" was the brand name.
Here's a post from ten years ago that describes it.
I'll keep an eye open for it when I go to Chinatown.
The vinegar you are looking for is of the type called 'Shanxi mature vinegar' (http://www.chinaculture.org/gb/en_abo...
)The best two brands in my opinion are Ninghuafu which looks like this (http://img04.taobao.com/bao/uploaded/...) - 3 years fermentation period, and the other one is Meihuachun (http://www.cec-ceda.org.cn/famousdb/q...) - 1.5 year fermentation - but in the southern Shanxi so more sun i guess...
I had no problem finding the Mature Vinegar as descibed in jaguanna's post. I got it from my local Chinese supermarket, The Great Wall. It is the second one linked to in that post. it is labeled as Mature Vinegar, trademark Donghubrand. The label on the bottle is virtually identical to the one in the link. There is a web page (entirely in Chinese) noted on the bottle:
Anyone out there who can read this website may be able to tell us if this is indeed the same thing as China's Secret. The price was very low: $1.50 for 420ml. The flavor is pretty much as described in the article cited by Joel.
It also has an English sticker on the back which says Brown Vinegar, DZH Import and Export Co. Woodside, NY phone 718-205-8312.
re: Steve
Hey steve & other vinegar connosieurs out there
The vinegar I described is different from the Chekiang vinegar from joels post. Chekiang is rather sweet, especially for stirfrying.
Shanxi mature vinegars have more lemony zing, and wouldnt taste as sugary. Though it probably isnt lemon im tasting
re: jaguanna
Can you read chinese? What does the website say? Is this not 'mature vinegar' as labeled on the bottle? The label on the bottle is just about identical as the one in your post.
re: fruitlover
Based on the earlier posts on this thread, I recently picked up two bottles of mature vinegar in Atlanta, one the Donghu brand mentioned above ($1.39) and the other Shui Ta brand (I don't remember the price, but probably not much over $3 if that). The taste of them is similar, grassy and lemony tang as mentioned by jaguanna--the Shui Ta is maybe a bit finer, and the label says it comes from Quingxu, which is the county where the best is supposedly made according to the story linked above.
It would be great to find that China's Secret stuff--the story says it was the US name for whatever vinegar it was, so it surely is still made but under what (Chinese) name?
Steve---are you getting into Chinese cooking?
Here's an 11-year-old article about "China's Secret" vinegar. I don't know whether it's still available at the source given, but the article does give a description of the vinegar and tells where it's made.
re: Nancy Berry
I'm glad i checked back. Great info. Thanks everyone.

When you try to mount a directory to a WebDAV server by using the Web DAV client in Windows Vista, the attempt may fail if do not have Read permission on the parent folders of the WebDAV directory. The mount succeeds in Windows Vista if the user who is trying to access the WebDAV resource has Read permission on the root of the drive where the WebDAV share is located. This behavior does not occur if you are using Windows XP with Office 2003 is installed. This is also a problem if the WebDAV share is SSL-based.
For example, you try to use the Add Network Location option in Network Places to access a WebDAV server such as http://server/Root/Share/SubShare. You will not be able to access a WebDAV directory that is located several levels deep if you do not have Read permission to any of the parent directories. These directories may include one of the following:
This problem occurs because the functionality that is provided by the Office 2003 component, Web Client service, is not included in Windows Vista. Like Windows XP, Windows Vista only includes a WebDAV client. Based on how the Explorer shell and the WebDav client work when Windows Vista accesses a WebDAV directory, Windows Vista makes OPTIONS and PROPFIND requests to the root of the WebDAV directory. If the root of the directory does not support the WebDAV protocol or the user does not have Read permission to any of the shares in the path to the root, the attempt to access to the WebDAV directory will fail and this issue occurs. The same problem can be duplicated on Windows XP-based computers on which the Web Client service is stopped.
