ST. PAUL, Minn. - If anyone knew her way around a kitchen, it was Wille Mae Coleman. No one could count the number of times she'd fried chicken for supper. Then last August, alone at the stove in her apartment, the 75-year-old grandmother died doing it.
"I vividly remember getting the phone call," says her son Don Coleman, somberly. "Very difficult, that's my mother." Wille Mae suffered serious burnson 70 percent of her body. He was with his mother at Regions Hospital when she died.
"I remember what she smelled like, I remember what she looked like, and that's no vision that any child wants to remember of their parents."
Kitchen fires happen every day in Minnesota. Cooking is the leading cause of the state's residential fires, more than heating, candles, smoking and arson combined.
With that statistic, KARE 11 enlisted the help of the volunteer fire departments in Green Isle and Arlington, borrowed a house slated for demolition, and sought the expertise of one of Minnesota's most respected fire investigators, Jamie Novak of the St. Paul Fire Department.
"I've seen it morning, I've seen it late night after the bars close, somebody comes home and decides they've got the munchies for French fries," says Novak.
Cooking oil does us a favor, it smokes to give us a warning as it approaches its auto-ignition point of roughly 750 degrees Fahrenheit.
With a "poof" a cup of oil being heated in a pan by Novak suddenly bursts into flames. He has investigated the aftermath of fires like this many times. "Number one problem, people think if they have a grease fire like this is 'I'll just grab it and run it over to the sink.'"
That's exactly what Wille Mae did, according to fire investigators, and in moving her pan, she set her clothes on fire. First responders found her burned and suffering on the floor. Her frying pan somehow wound up in the living room, flung, perhaps, as she fell.
"It's just an instinctive thing to grab that pot," says her son. But don't do it, Novak cautions. Never grab a burning pan.
The alternative is simple and remarkably effective. "All you need to do on a fire like this is grab an oven mitt and a tight fitting cover, slide (the cover) right over the side and turn the stove off and leave it for ten to 20 minutes. Because if you don't, you take that cover off and it starts right back up."
If there is no cover close by, Novak says to grab a cookie sheet or pizza pan. Hold it down with an oven mitt, turn off the stove, and feel blessed you've avoided an even bigger mistake.
Wille Mae never made it to the sink with that burning pan of grease, but the water was still runningwhen firefighters arrived. Water is the worst choice anyone could make when trying to put out a grease fire.
From 12 feet away, Novak pours the water into the burning oil. Awave of flames instantly splashes over the stove, up the kitchen wall and across the ceiling. Enough heat and flames reach the kitchen's back wall to burn the curtains off the windows.
"One cup of water turns into 1700 cups of steam and blows all that oil out at once," he explains. "If you were there right now we'd be taking you to the hospital, because you would have caught your clothes on fire, you would have had second and third degree burns. That's why people need to know you never, ever, ever, put water on a grease fire."
It's also why Novak says a device, only slightly larger than a tuna can, could be a life-saver in your home.
It was named "Stove Top Fire Stop" by the company that manufactures it. Mounted in pairs above a stove's burners, the device has a fuse that ignites when flames reachthe fuse on the bottom side of the canister, dropping fire extinguishing powder to put out the fire.
In Novak's demonstration, the Stove Top Fire Stop works flawlessly, extinguishing a grease fire instantly. "Popped, dropped the dry chemical, and now you as a homeowner is supposed to come in and shut the stove off," explains Novak. Shutting off the stove removes any possibility the fire could reignite.
You may wonder why such a simple, and seemly effective, device isn't found in more homes? The White Bear Lake Fire Department wondered that too.They did something about it.
With the help of federal FEMA grants, firefighters have installed a $50 pair of Stove Top Fire Stops, free of charge, in nearly 3000 residential kitchens. In fact, White Bear Lake now requiresthe devicein rental properties that do not have sprinkler systems.
Chuck Schmidt credits a Stove Top Fire Stop for saving his apartment after he left for a church service with a pot still on the stove. "Completely forgot that I had the stove turned on yet," says the elderly White Bear Lake resident. "It was amazing, I tell you."
Schmidt's is one of five Fire Stop saves since White Bear Lake began installations.
Don Coleman is left to wonder if such a device might have saved his mother. "I wish we would have had it in this case."
Damage to a kitchen can be repaired, but there is no fixing the lingering regrets of a life lost. "I was there for her for a lot or things. I helped my mother," says Don Coleman. But I wasn't there at the end. I didn't get to say goodbye. I didn't get to say goodbye while she was conscious. And that will always bother me."
The Stove Top Fire Stopcan be ordered at Lowe's stores in Minnesota at the commercial sales desk. They are $32 through noon on May 2 and $46 after that.

Illegal fishing has been practised in lakes, rivers and dams across Tanzania for as long as one can remember. It is endemic in virtually all major lakes – Victoria, Tanganyika and Nyasa – but even smaller lakes such as Rukwa as well as dams such as Nyumba ya Mungu in Kilimanjaro Region and Mindu in Morogoro Region are not spared the menace.
There is a wide range of the forms of illegal fishing commonly at play, but those most people engage in include dynamite fishing, poison-aided fishing and the use of nets that literally sweep water reservoirs clean of even the smallest or youngest of fish species.
Even worse, some fishermen undertake expeditions so vicious and are so insensitive to calls to safeguard the environment that they don't seem to worry even after finding that the gear and methods they use endanger even their very own survival.
As noted, illegal fishing is a decades-old trade perpetrated mainly by communities of mostly small-time fishermen but accounting for the survival and development of many more individuals, households and communities.
Things used to be bad even the relatively good old days when fishing was mainly small-scale and meant to cater for consumers at the household level. But with the advent of commercial fishing, complete with processing plants to be found wherever huge fish catches are available, the problem has gradually degenerated into not only a disaster but a catastrophe.
Anyone doubting this should make a comparative analysis of the number, size and species of fish caught and sold for both home or industrial use, say, during the 1960s to 1980s as against the situation as currently obtains.
We know that occasional deployment of marine police officers and extension personnel dispatched by the government's Fisheries Division has helped in easing the havoc resulting from illegal fishing.
Yet, factors such as poor facilities, corruption, lack of support from local government officials and reluctance by members of households and communities to name confirmed culprits have always sabotaged efforts to deal the menace of illegal fishing a death blow.
For instance, most missions by environmental and other journalists seeking to establish the magnitude of the problem have often yielded little fruit, the main explanation being that many "eyewitnesses" fear that they could up paying heavily if they volunteer any incriminating clues about suspects.
This is especially true for residents of villages on the shores of Lake Victoria, a lake once teeming with numerous fish of all species but now all but a pale shadow of itself.
But on second thoughts, is illegal fishing really impossible to contain – even if we were to deploy more law-enforcement agents, including riot police and even the Army? Considering the gravity of the problem and the long-term consequences the crime is sure to have, would anyone dare say that would be going too far?
A softer approach would be ensuring that we have laws, rules and regulations much less tolerant of illegal fishing than the ones now in place – but when will that be? It's an idea worth considering. Still, we need to know that time is not on our side.

Tried Gaia Herbs Quick Defense recently with great results. Did use for two days (40 caps) to resolve onset of particularly strong viral symptoms (cold/flu-like). Felt fine on 3rd day. Have use Gaia Herbs echinacea and echinacea/goldenseal liquid caps in the past to head off early onset virus symptoms. Quick Defense was more effective and dosing was precise and easy. Will keep on hand. Sue, healthcare worker for 30 years.

- Abstract
- Facial identity and facial expression matching tasks were completed by 5-12-year-old children and adults using stimuli extracted from the same set of normalized faces. Configural and feature processing were examined using speed and accuracy of responding and facial feature selection, respectively. Facial identity matching was slower than face expression matching for all age groups. Large age effects were found on both speed and accuracy of responding and feature use in both identity and expression matching tasks. Eye region preference was found on the facial identity task and mouth region preference on the facial expression task. Use of mouth region information for facial expression matching increased with age, whereas use of eye region information for facial identity matching peaked early. The feature use information suggests that the specific use of primary facial features to arrive at identity and emotion matching judgments matures across middle childhood.

Suggestive dance may mean no prom or graduation walk
SCRIPPS RANCH A group of high school students has been suspended from Scripps Ranch High School and may not be able to attend prom or walk during commencement ceremonies because of a video made at school that depicts "twerking," a suggestive manner of dancing.
Parents and students confirmed that many were suspended and told not to return to school until Friday. School board member Kevin Beiser said he was told 31 students were suspended.
Jack Brandais, a spokesman for the San Diego Unified School District, said he could not discuss student discipline matters.
The video apparently violates the school's sexual harassment policy that prohibits verbal, visual or physical conduct of a sexual nature. Twerking involves the shaking and twisting of hips in a suggestive dance move.
According to NBC 7, students in a broadcast journalism class used school equipment to record and add music to a video of the group of girls twerking while doing handstands.
Many students were talking about it all day long on Twitter, with some suggesting the punishment went too far and others joking about twerking. One apparent student, whose Twitter handle is @sopjoa69, tweeted: "Suspended for twerking. What do I do? Twerk. At the beach. I twerk at the beach."
Lyston McNear, a 17-year-old senior, said he was suspended even though he didn't appear in the video or shoot it, but because he came up with the original idea for the project. He said it was not a class assignment and took months to create.
He said the video was posted on YouTube on Thursday. "Nobody was offended or anything," he said. "It was like, 'Oh, that's cool.'"
The video has since been taken off YouTube.
Lyston said he will have to go through senior review, an appeals board at school, to determine whether he will be able to attend the prom or go through graduation ceremonies.
Beiser wondered if suspension was appropriate for all the students or if the "ringleader" or person who dubbed the music should have received the harshest penalty.
He said there were some inappropriate words in the music used but added that the girls dancing are "just moving their hips."
"If it was a bunch of guys dancing would they have all gotten suspended?"
Suggestive dances have caused consternation for parents and school officials for decades.
Not long ago "freak dancing," which appeared to simulate sex acts, was banned at some high school dances.

A Washington Headquarters Services (WHS) directs multiple initiatives to reduce the carbon footprint of the world's largest low-rise office building. With over 25,000 inhabitants, the Pentagon serves as the nation's Defense headquarters, allowing for broad visibility of sustainability initiatives and the opportunity to pave the way for "greener" practices across the federal government.
An Executive Order issued on October 8, 2009, mandated that all federal agencies increase their recycling rates to 50% by the end of Fiscal Year 2015. WHS took on the mission for the Pentagon, expanding the strong Pentagon Renovation Project recycling program for construction materials, into an efficient, all-encompassing recycling system for all waste materials. With the implementation of the Hybrid Single Stream (HSS) Program in October 2012, recycling rates for non-construction solid waste jumped from around 16% to over 40% within the first month. Current recycling rates fluctuate between 48% and 51% of all waste, resulting in approximately 150 to 200 tons of recycled material, on a monthly basis.
Single stream recycling is a proven method to extract all possible value from a solid waste stream. The HSS Program collects and processes all solid waste including different types of paper, cardboard, scrap metals, plastics, aluminum cans, toner cartridges, wood pallets, yard waste, and construction and demolition debris. This non-hazardous waste is then sorted by trained professionals at an off-site Materials Recovery Facility (MRF), a vast improvement from the previous recycling program that relied on Pentagon tenants to sort their own waste.
As part of the Qualified Recycling Plan, all recycled materials are then resold on the open market as useful commodities. There has been significant return on construction materials, printer cartridges, and cardboard, with proceeds used to advance the efforts of the recycling program. Additionally, all WHS contracts include "green" requirements, providing guidance on how WHS manages its waste, the types of materials used for construction, and even products used in restrooms.
The Pentagon building itself is also in accordance with modern sustainable architecture. WHS leads the effort for efficient energy usage and enhanced indoor environmental quality for improved employee health. Upon the completion of the Pentagon Renovation Project, the Pentagon had achieved Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) certifications from the U.S. Green Building Council for 4 of 5 wedges and a number of newly-created facilities, including the Pentagon Athletic Center, the Remote Delivery Facility, the Metro Entrance Facility, and the Pentagon Library and Conference Center (LEED Silver, 2011). The Mark Center achieved WHS's first LEED Gold certification in 2011. WHS strives to encourage those working for the Defense Department, along with those in the National Capital Region, to partake in continued efforts to boost recycling levels, reduce energy usage, and provide a sustainable working environment for future generations.

A lot of rocks and dirt and some construction equipment sit where the expanded Heath Springs Fire Department station will one day rest.
It's hard for some to envision, but planners have ensured the public that the station will be quite a spectacle once renovations are complete.
Work got under way a few weeks ago, though officials used Wednesday to officially break ground on the expansion project.

The blame game is underway as Republicans and Democrats point fingers at each other for the devastating budget cuts that went into effect Friday.
Congress was unable to reach a last minute deal, forcing President Obama to sign an order Friday authorizing the cuts to begin.
The sequester will begin by slashing $85 billion to 2013 federal spending, ultimately resulting in $1.2 trillion cut over a decade. The cuts equally affect defense and non-defense spending. The cuts are unlikely to be felt right away, but rather, will be felt little by little over time. Dirty restrooms or reduced hours at National Parks. Longer lines and increased delays at airports. Larger classes as some teachers are laid off.
Locally, Fort Carson says up to 3,000 Army employees will be hit hard by these cuts starting in April, when workers will be forced to take more than 20 furlough days between then and September--the equivalent of a 20 percent pay cut.
Even with the sequester going into effect, it's not binding--Congress can still reach a deal after Obama signs the order and stop it. Republicans and Democrats remain deadlocked on how to most effectively decrease the deficit. Democrats are arguing for a deficit reduction plan that is half increase in revenue, half spending cuts; Republicans are calling for a deal that relies primarily on spending cuts, as they do not want to raise taxes.

25 U.S. Code § 941 - Declaration of policy, Congressional findings and purpose
prev | next
(a) Findings
The Congress declares and finds that:
(1) It is the policy of the United States to promote tribal self-determination and economic self-sufficiency and to support the resolution of disputes over historical claims through settlements mutually agreed to by Indian and non-Indian parties.
(2) There is pending before the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina a lawsuit disputing ownership of approximately 140,000 acres of land in the State of South Carolina and other rights of the Catawba Indian Tribe under Federal law.
(3) The Catawba Indian Tribe initiated a related lawsuit against the United States in the United States Court of Federal Claims seeking monetary damages.
(4) Some of the significant historical events which have led to the present situation include:
(A) In treaties with the Crown in 1760 and 1763, the Tribe ceded vast portions of its aboriginal territory in the present States of North and South Carolina in return for guarantees of being quietly settled on a 144,000-acre reservation.
(B) The Tribe's district court suit contended that in 1840 the Tribe and the State entered into an agreement without Federal approval or participation whereby the Tribe ceded its treaty reservation to the State, thereby giving rise to the Tribe's claim that it was dispossessed of its lands in violation of Federal law.
(C) In 1943, the United States entered into an agreement with the Tribe and the State to provide services to the Tribe and its members. The State purchased 3,434 acres of land and conveyed it to the Secretary in trust for the Tribe and the Tribe organized under the Indian Reorganization Act [25 U.S.C. 461 et seq.].
(D) In 1959, when Congress enacted the Catawba Tribe of South Carolina Division of Assets Act (25 U.S.C. 931–938), Federal agents assured the Tribe that if the Tribe would release the Government from its obligation under the 1943 agreement and agree to Federal legislation terminating the Federal trust relationship and liquidating the 1943 reservation, the status of the Tribe's land claim would not be jeopardized by termination.
(E) In 1980, the Tribe initiated Federal court litigation to regain possession of its treaty lands and in 1986, the United States Supreme Court ruled in South Carolina against Catawba Indian Tribe that the 1959 Act resulted in the application of State statutes of limitations to the Tribe's land claim. Two subsequent decisions of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit have held that some portion of the Tribe's claim is barred by State statutes of limitations and that some portion is not barred.
(5) The pendency of these lawsuits has led to substantial economic and social hardship for a large number of landowners, citizens and communities in the State of South Carolina, including the Catawba Indian Tribe. Congress recognizes that if these claims are not resolved, further litigation against tens of thousands of landowners would be likely; that any final resolution of pending disputes through a process of litigation would take many years and entail great expenses to all parties; continue economically and socially damaging controversies; prolong uncertainty as to the ownership of property; and seriously impair long-term economic planning and development for all parties.
(6) The 102d Congress has enacted legislation suspending until October 1, 1993, the running of any unexpired statute of limitation applicable to the Tribe's land claim in order to provide additional time to negotiate settlement of these claims.
(7) It is recognized that both Indian and non-Indian parties enter into this settlement to resolve the disputes raised in these lawsuits and to derive certain benefits. The parties' Settlement Agreement constitutes a good faith effort to resolve these lawsuits and other claims and requires implementing legislation by the Congress of the United States, the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, and the governing bodies of the South Carolina counties of York and Lancaster.
(8) To advance the goals of the Federal policy of Indian self-determination and restoration of terminated Indian Tribes, and in recognition of the United States obligation to the Tribe and the Federal policy of settling historical Indian claims through comprehensive settlement agreements, it is appropriate that the United States participate in the funding and implementation of the Settlement Agreement.
(b) Purpose
It is the purpose of this subchapter—
(1) to approve, ratify, and confirm the Settlement Agreement entered into by the non-Indian settlement parties and the Tribe, except as otherwise provided by this subchapter;
(3) to authorize the actions and appropriations necessary to implement the provisions of the Settlement Agreement and this subchapter;
(4) to remove the cloud on titles in the State of South Carolina resulting from the Tribe's land claim; and

A woman was held up at gunpoint in her hotel room and then locked in a bathroom for more than eight hours, police tell 11 News.
The incident occurred at the Microtel Inn at 7265 Commerce Center Dr., located off Woodmen and I-25.
Police say the suspects claimed the victim owed them money. An officer 11 News spoke with said the investigation is still in the early stages, so it's unclear at this time if this was a case of mistaken identity or if the two male suspects and victim all knew each other.
The suspect left the hotel around 6 a.m. Police were notified about the incident after the woman was freed.
11 News is working to get more information.

I doubt Franklin, Tommy and Luiz are the only ones who have been in prison. Wasn't Claude being transported between two prisons in the beginning of GTA III.
- That's right. Johnny Klebitz and Niko Bellic (in Europe) have been in prison too. Aegirsson (talk) 20:18, May 5, 2013 (UTC)
Beta appearance?
This was just a small thing I wanted to look over, it's nothing major.
"Franklin's 'beta appearance' can be seen in the first trailer of GTA V. He is thinner, less muscular and has many tattoos."I'm pretty sure that this is referring to the street criminal we saw running away from the cops in trailer 1, however if you look at the character in the Dewbauchee GT at 0:23 we can see that the one in the car is actually Franklin himself and he had no tattoos with no real change in his appearance from the what we've seen in the recent trailers. In Franklin's character trailer he is shown wearing a tanktop and having a watch, or some sort of item, on his left wrist. If you look closely during 0:23 seconds in the first trailer the one in the Dewbauchee GT has the same attire, including the item around the same wrist.
We can see this again at 1:04. If paused at the right time you can clearly see that this is the same guy. And you can see the item on his wrist more clearly.
I'm nearly 100% sure that the "beta" version of Franklin the trivia is referring to is just a random street criminal and isn't Franklin but I could be wrong since this is the first time I've ever did anything like this. Any thoughts though?--Sonicman0123456789 (talk) 08:08, July 6, 2013 (UTC)Sonicman0123456789

Personal Vehicle
In some screenshots, we can see Franklin driving a Yellow 9F, which was thought to be his personal vehicle, but as we have figured out his vehicle is a unique Buffalo, this should be removed from the infobox as he doesn not receive a 9F during any part of the storyline.

Mr and Mrs Bellic
this wiki
- "Let's get me married!"
- ―Roman Bellic.
Mr. and Mrs. Bellic is the penultimate storyline mission in Grand Theft Auto IV and is the final mission given to Niko Bellic by Roman Bellic, triggered from a phone call. It is the only mission after this decision which is common to both endings. The mission consists purely of a cutscene depicting the wedding of Roman to Mallorie Bardas -- the end of the scene, however, depends on Niko's above mentioned decision. Below are the walkthrough and events on both decisions.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Go put on a suit if you aren't already wearing one
- Go and pick up Kate
- Meet Roman at the church
- Go put on a suit if you aren't already wearing one
- Meet Roman at the church
- "Niko Bellic. A gift from Dimitri Rascalov."
- ―Wedding Assassin.
- "Ahhh! Roman... no!."
- ―Mallorie Bardas.
If you choose the "deal" decision, Kate McReary is upset with Niko for making a deal with Dimitri Rascalov, and refuses to go with him to the wedding. Roman is pleased with Niko for doing the deal. You must change into a suit from a safehouse, or buy one from Perseus to prepare for the wedding.
Head over to Roman and Mallorie's wedding at the church in Suffolk.
Roman will compliment Niko's suit, then he will go inside the church.
Roman and Mallorie marry inside and kiss, then the view returns outside, with Roman and Mallorie happily exiting the church. The guests cheer on the couple and an assassin walks up behind Niko. He draws a pistol, saying "A gift from Dimitri Rascalov." Niko wrestles with him, and after firing a stray shot, succeeds in forcing the pistol back and shooting the assassin in the head. Roman, however, was accidentally shot and killed during the struggle.
Mallorie bursts into tears. Niko repeatly shoots the assassin's dead body and starts kicking it. Little Jacob calms him down and promises an enraged Niko that he will track down Dimitri and call him when he does and tells him to leave. Niko wakes up in the safehouse in Bohan, in the old clothes he was wearing when he arrived in Liberty City, and says sadly, "Roman... I'm so sorry, cousin." Soon, Niko will receive a call from Little Jacob, explaining that he's found Pegorino's men and the final mission will commence when you meet him at Koresh Square in Alderney.
- "You fucking double-crossing immigrant shit!"
- ―Jimmy Pegorino.
- "Niko, you can't blame yourself."
- ―Roman Bellic.
- "Of course I can! She's dead!"
- ―Niko Bellic.
If you choose "Revenge" instead, Kate is happy that Niko "cut his ties" with Dimitri and tells him to pick her up for the wedding. Roman tells Niko to be at the church by 10 AM. Wear a suit from the safehouse, or buy one from Perseus to prepare for the wedding. Go and pick up Kate. Meet Roman at the church. On the way, she says that she wants Niko to abandon his criminal activities and violent lifestyle, and Niko happily agrees. When Niko and Kate arrive at the church, go into the yellow marker.
Roman and Mallorie kiss, then the view returns outside, with Roman and Mallorie happily exiting the church. The guests cheer on the couple.
A black car drives past the celebration and the passenger window rolls down to reveal an enraged Jimmy Pegorino, who attacks with an assault rifle and, with a shout of "You fucking double-crossing immigrant shit!" he empties the weapon into the celebration, killing Kate. Roman shouts for someone to call an ambulance, but Niko, knowing that Kate's been killed, shouts out that she is dead. Roman tells Niko he should not blame himself, but Niko, angry and agressive, shouts that he can because she's dead. Little Jacob and Roman attempt to calm Niko before telling him to leave, and he does.
The next morning, Niko wakes up in the safehouse in Bohan, in the old clothes he was wearing when he arrived in Liberty City. He rises from the bed, and says to himself sadly, "Damn, I was meant to protect her!" or "Poor girl... She should never have gotten close to me." Soon, Niko will receive a call from Little Jacob, and the next mission will commence when you meet him and Roman at Koresh Square in Alderney.
Video Walkthrough
After the Mission
There is no reward for beating the mission, but the final storyline mission, A Revenger's Tragedy is unlocked for the Deal Storyline, or Out of Commission for the Revenge Storyline.
If you chose Deal, Mallorie will phone Niko and says that she is pregnant with Roman's son. Niko says he will look after the child as if he was the father, and that he will never have to worry about anything. Later, Kate calls Niko and says that she is sorry and will always be there for him. Brucie will also call and say that he can't believe Roman is gone and that he learned a lot from him. He also emails Niko and says that he will be there for him.
If you chose Revenge, Roman will phone and say that he is sorry and, if it is a girl, will name their child Kate, and Niko says he will make a good father. Later, Packie will phone, in tears, and says that Kate should not been killed and that it was the male McRearys who were sinners. And he is looking after his mother as he is all she has left. It is unkown if one of his brother Derrick or Francis help him take care of her.
- Roman Bellic - Killed by the Wedding Assassin, who was trying to kill Niko on Dimitri's orders (Deal only).
- Wedding Assassin - Killed by Niko in their struggle, right after accidentally killing Roman. (Deal only)
- Kate McReary - Killed by Jimmy Pegorino in a drive-by shooting, who was trying to kill Niko in revenge for Dimitri's death (Revenge only).
- If the player is taking Kate to the wedding and they get into a fight with a pedestrian, Kate will chase and attack the pedestrian. After she gets into a car, she will no longer do this.
- If Niko arrives at the wedding with no suit, he will be instructed to get one. Kate will wait with Bernie, Little Jacob, Brucie and Roman.
- If Niko scares or kills the guests, the mission will fail.
- If Kate is killed before the wedding, the mission will fail.
- When the player arrives at the church, they can see two PMP 600's, a Virgo and a Cognoscenti. The Cognoscenti is presumably Roman's and Mallorie's, as it has a wedding ribbon on it. The Virgo is Jacob's and Badman's, as it's used in their missions. It is possible that one of the PMP 600's is Brucie's, due to his liking of sports cars, but it's unlikely that the other PMP 600 is Bernie's, as Bernie mentions that he doesn't drive and only walks or takes cabs.
- In the Deal Storyline, Badman doesn't wear his hat, but in the Revenge storyline, he does.
- In the Revenge Storyline, after the wedding, Brucie and Bernie are seen, but when Pegorino crashes the wedding, they are gone.
- When Roman and Mallorie walk out of the church, Niko and the other guests stand in the same order in both storylines. From closest to the church to farthest, the guests are Bernie, Brucie, Kate (Revenge only), Niko, Jacob and Badman.
- This is the only mission where Kate appears outside of the McReary missions.
- Packie McReary and Dwayne Forge are the only friends of Niko who do not appear in this mission.
- Kate and Niko discuss the events of Blood Brothers during the Revenge storyline, but never use a specific name to refer to the brother killed, instead saying "your brother" or "my brother". This was likely done for convienience's sake, so as not to have to record two sets of dialogue for the mission, and for one that might not even be used at that.
- After completing the mission and saving the game, the save title will be "In Mourning" instead of "Mr and Mrs Bellic".
- This is the final appearance of Mallorie Bardas and Bernie Crane, as well as Roman Bellic (Deal only) or Kate McReary (Revenge only).
- You have to wear smart shoes in this mission, otherwise, Niko will be instructed to buy a pair of smart shoes.

Deep cleansing brushes are made and used by experts and many users because washing by just using bare hands is not enough. So, if you want to cleanse your face with a splash of water, then don't be so confident that the dirt will be easily removed. Of course, there's a need to exert a little friction so as to get rid of the dirt and germs.
When using any deep cleansing brush, it is necessary to add a little exfoliation on your skin. This can make your skin more radiant because you have been exfoliated off those little dead skins. But, what if you don't have Clarisonic product at home? Would you intend to buy it or you will just look for any alternative?
Well, just in case there's no available Clarisonic at home, then you can just make use of the best alternatives. To know more about these things, you may refer to the product reviews of the 4 alternatives below.
Clarisonic Plus
Actually, there are lots of options which range from the Plus to the Mia. But the Clarisonic Plus is really the big one. You may also have the classic but you can upgrade it to the Plus. With the 3 speeds of the product, you can simply use it conveniently. This is also waterproof; so, you can even utilize it when you are taking shower. Try to concentrate on your t-zone while using the product and be amazed on its unusual outcomes.
You can also make use of the deep pore head cleansing. Its head contains outer rings of bristles which don't move. The inner portion of bristle circle vibrates with a sonic motion. This thing does not spin. It has the same idea and function when you are also utilizing a Sonic Care Brush. Continue reading The Difference among Deep Cleansing Brushes

Frolicsome Feline plates

The title of this article is conjectural. Although it is based on canonical information, the actual name is conjecture and may be supplanted at any time by additional information released from canonical sources. If this occurs, please move this page to the appropriate title.
- "The surfaces had all been draped in lacy covers and cloths. There were several vases of dried flowers, each resting on its own doily, and on one of the walls was a collection of ornamental plates, each decorated with a large technicolour kitten wearing a different bow around its neck. These were so foul that Harry stared at them, transfixed, until Professor Umbridge spoke again."
- —Harry observes the foul kitten plates.[src]
Some ornamental plates were seen in all of the offices that Dolores Umbridge have ever owned. In the 1995–1996 school year some plates hung in the office, in the Defence Against the Dark Arts class at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the top of the Castle. Some also hung in the office of the Senior Undersecretary to the Minister for Magic inside the Ministry of Magic during at least 1990 to 1998.
Behind the scenes
- In the film version of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, one of the kittens leaves its plate through a door in the background and alerts Umbridge when Harry attempts to use her fireplace to contact Sirius Black. In the novel, Umbridge is alerted by Stealth Sensoring Spells placed on her office door.
- In the novel, the kittens are described as being large, technicolour and foul in appearance, each wearing a different bow around its neck. In the film, the plates depict actual kittens.
- Over two hundred ceramic plates were created in total for the film, a few empty to depict cats that had "wandered away." A total of forty feline models were filmed for two days, many wearing hand-knitted outfits.[1] After filming was completed, the kittens used were adopted, and their current owners are unaware of their role in the Harry Potter series.[2]
- In the film, the kittens occasionally make soft mewing noises.
