A Fan's Dilemma
July 5, 2014 - Al Stephenson
I am a Cleveland sports fan. There I said it. I want so badly for a Cleveland team to be a champion. MLB, NBA, NFL... it doesn't matter. I just want to be able to savor it along with all the other long suffering fans of the mistake by the lake.
But - at what cost?
It's not easy being a Cleveland fan. I want the championship experience. I don't necessarily want to root for guys I can't stand in order to get it. Therein lies my dilemma and it pops up in each of the three sports I mentioned.
I'm trying my best to cope with the off field antics of Johnny Manziel. For many fans, it doesn't matter what he does off the field. If he can play on it and bring us a championship - he can be the biggest a#*&*# off it. Well, he is trying to become the latter. I think Johnny Football is a twerp and I'm not sure I even know what that means. He is setting himself up for a big fall while laughing at those who criticize him - all the way to the bank.
Do I want to see him succeed? I'm not sure. Only for the sake of Cleveland sports. I really wish he had been drafted by someone else and then I could gloat if he does not pan out. Sorry, that's just the way I feel.
Then there is the Cavs who are pursuing public enemy #1 in the eyes of most Cleveland fans. LeBron James is a free agent. He spurred us four years ago, going on national television to announce he was taking his talents to South Beach. Have we forgotten that agony? Do we really want him back? Again for some fans - if it means a championship - all will be forgiven. I don't know if I'm willing to go that far. I guess I want my Cleveland sports heroes to be loyal.
Then there is the case of Nick Swisher. An Ohioan, he revels being in Cleveland. He is as easy to like as any athlete I've ever watched play. He is great in the clubhouse and... he can't catch a cold playing first base and is batting below the Mendoza line. Should we trade him for some knucklehead that can play while being everything we hate in a spoiled pompous athlete?
The view from my seat suggests that I want more than I can have. A championship with athletes who measure up to my standards of decent human beings.
I'm telling you, being a Cleveland sports fan is no easy chore.

Commercial Lease Forms - What You Need to Know
Setting up one's own commercial office is a dream of every small business entrepreneur. If you can't afford to buy a commercial office, you may have the option to start your business in an office for lease housed in leased apartment buildings. A rental office / office space lease is available in all commercial areas of your city. While choosing the right form of commercial leasing space to lease for your business, you have to be careful about the location of the space and the nature of agreement.
Commercial real estate business is highly profitable, and these days the business of commercial real estate online is growing in popularity. Today, properties of all kinds, residential or commercial for sale, for sale commercial establishments, information on office space for lease and office space for sale, and commercial lease availability are all accessible online. Real commercial sale and lease samples are also available online. You can search online for buildings for sale and commercial real estate offices for lease.
A person planning to take an office space lease for conducting retail sale, or taking a warehouse for rent, should be well aware of the local zoning rules and regulations governing commercial lease/commercial properties for sale. When you take an office for lease for your business, bear in mind that these rules vary by local area.
What is a Commercial Lease?
A real estate commercial lease is an agreement for use of a space for business purposes in return for an amount agreed to be payable as rent. The person who owns the property for rent is called a lessor and the person who leases the property is called a lessee. Commercial real estate leasing is popular mostly among those running small businesses. Millions of retail business owners and professionals conduct their business on commercially leased premises/buildings for rent.
For leasing commercial real estate, the parties have to enter into an agreement. A real estate commercial lease agreement will contain details of properties for rent such as their addresses and boundaries. A commercial rental lease agreement will contain clauses stating how much money a business property will cost every year and also the terms, including the start date and end date. It will also contain any other conditions associated with a commercial property for lease/commercial for rent such as a landlord's right to enter the property, and/or use of pets or parking space. There is no prescribed form for preparing commercial lease agreements because the content may vary according to a lessee's needs. When parties sign a business rental agreement, it becomes binding and enforceable.
Generally, there are two types of commercial leases: net lease and gross lease:
- Net lease is when tenants pay an extra amount in addition to office rent as part payment of the commercial lease properties' expenses such as maintenance, taxes, insurance, and utilities. A commercial net lease is again of three types: single net lease, double net lease and triple net lease. A single net lessee pays rent as well as property taxes. Although this is the same in the case of double net lease, expenses incurred for common area maintenance and structural repairs of the space for lease in this case, shall be paid by the landlord or lessor. In a triple net lease, a lessee pays the commercial real estate taxes, building insurance, and apartment maintenance apart from any normal fees expected under the agreement. A lessee will also be responsible for paying costs in maintaining any common area in the commercial lease space.
- A commercial gross lease is a lease in which a lessee pays only rent and the landlord pays property taxes, insurance and maintenance charges. Gross lease agreements can be modified to suit a tenant's multiple needs. This type of lease, commonly known as modified gross lease, is often used for multi-tenant commercial lease property and industrial properties such as a commercial center/shopping center or a mall. A lessor pays expenses out of the fixed rents collected from lessees. A rental agreement may contain a lease clause that specifies what kind of lease it is.
Security Deposits and Rent
When it comes to leasing commercial office real estate, a majority of land owners will demand a sum of money as move-in money, also known as a security deposit. A lessee is entitled to get back the office lease deposit money, less charges for damages beyond reasonable wear and tear, or unpaid rent if any. The amount secured as deposit and the terms of repayment should also be mentioned in the commercial lease agreement.
Parties may agree to pay a certain amount of money as rent for a commercial property lease. The rent amount may vary according to facilities of the site and its location. By the end of the lease term, a lessee can renew the rental term after obtaining a written notice from the owner of the commercial space. The lessee can sublet a commercial space only with the permission of the lessor and according to the clauses laid down in the commercial lease agreement.
Commercial Lease FAQ
What are commercial leases?
Commercial leases are rental contracts for offices or retail space in malls, apartment buildings, shopping centers, warehouses, or other industrial spaces. Commercial leases stipulate conditions of leasing like the rental amount and period of leasing.
What are the different types of commercial leases?
There are two types of commercial leases:
- Commercial net lease: In commercial net leasing, the rent will be predetermined by the parties to an agreement.
- Commercial gross lease: In commercial gross leasing, a tenant is to pay taxes, insurance, and other charges, in addition to predetermined rent.
What are commercial lease agreements?
Commercial lease agreements are documents that stipulate lease terms and conditions for using a commercial lease property. Parties to a commercial leasing agreement are:
- A landlord who owns a commercial space or properties for rent.
- A tenant who rents the property.
For a real estate commercial lease agreement to be valid, parties to the commercial real estate office agreement must sign the agreement. When the parties sign a business rental agreement, the agreement becomes binding and enforceable.
What are the necessary clauses to be included in an agreement for leasing commercial real estate?
Lease clauses in a commercial office real estate agreement must specify the:
- amount of rent and security deposit;
- manner in which the commercial tenant can use the leased premises; and
- rights and responsibilities of the commercial landlord and tenant.
What are website lease agreements?
Website lease agreements are agreements that stipulate the terms and conditions to use a website. Just like taking an office space for lease, website leasing helps entities with limited resources, such as a small business, to take advantage of big websites. The website owner charges a fee for the services offered to the customer or lessor.
What are the points to be considered while selecting an office rent agreement from a commercial real estate online site?

Cloudsourced Accounting clients can now focus on what they love to do: Growing their business.
"Xero is total collaboration. It's like we're right there in the room together."
BLAKE OLIVER, CEO, Cloudsourced Accounting LLC
Cloudsourced Accounting has worked closely with countless clients and developed a product list and workflow that is secure, scalable and efficient. At the heart is Xero. Consider the following:
Data entry no more Before Xero: Clients have to manually enter their data, with a high risk of error. Since Xero: With an easy conversion process, clients can enjoy real-time access to their transactions and bank feeds. Now, all the data is available — anytime, anywhere — when staff need it.
Unlimited users Before Xero: Legacy systems required separate user licenses, which often proved cost prohibitive. Since Xero: After signing up with Xero, clients can take advantage of an unlimited number of user accounts per file at no extra charge.
Hear why Cloudsourced Accounting and DeClercq Law Group love Xero:
A system that pays attention Before Xero: Clients could only code transactions a certain way. Since Xero: Now, if clients code transactions in a specific manner, Xero will ask if similar transactions should be processed in the same way. This helps with consistency and data entry.
SecurityBefore Xero: Either clients and their teams could access everything … or nothing at all. Since Xero: Clients now can access only the Xero files they need. In addition, clients can assign different roles and link certain permissions to those roles. For example, bookkeepers can code transactions but are not allowed to make journal entries.
A seamless experienceBefore Xero: Once again, data entry rears its ugly head. There was a lot of back and forth, which produced a clunky and lengthy experience. Since Xero: Clients can easily import Excel files as bank statements, and Cloudsourced Accounting can import QuickBooks files without losing any data. This ensures a smooth transition for new clients who come with existing files. And Cloudsourced Accounting saves time by eliminating the data entry.
Open ecosystem Before Xero:The legacy system was closed, with no ability to integrate third-party software. Customization was taboo. Since Xero: Third parties can create useful software add-ons for Xero — such as time tracking, project management and inventory. To address a client's individual needs, Cloudsourced Accounting evaluates the add-ons and makes recommendations as needed.
Highly intuitive Before Xero: Clients had to do all the thinking to make their legacy system work the way they wanted. Collaboration was very difficult. Since Xero: Clients find the Xero interface very easy to navigate and use. Now Cloudsourced Accounting can truly partner with clients across the Xero platform. It's real time and real collaboration.
Accessibility Before Xero: Clients were locked to a physical desktop. Since Xero: As cloud-based software, Xero is available to Cloudsourced Accounting and its clients anywhere, anytime. And with the mobile app, Xero Touch, important account information is just a click away on a smartphone or tablet.
The ability to help CPA partners Before Xero: As with many parts of the legacy system, it was laborious to provide information to CPAs in a quick and secure manner.Since Xero: Cloudsourced Accounting simply provides a Xero login to permit a client's CPA or tax preparer to make adjusted journal entries. This eliminates version control issues and ensures that the file is up to date. It also helps clients save money — always a good thing — by providing a clean and an easy-to-use file that reduces CPA hours.
A much better reconciliation process Before Xero: Everybody braced for — and absolutely feared — the month-end close. Since Xero: Transactions are downloaded daily, which means that bank reconciliations can be performed on an ongoing basis.
Xero: The right solution for you The Xero team is ready to work with you to redefine best practices and business growth. Start your path to the right solution today.
"As a small home business... time is an absolute premium."
Read their story
"I love the fact Xero is customer-focused and that my suggestions are embraced and listened to..."
"Neither of us are what you'd call IT savvy but we find Xero straight forward."
"I can use Xero at basecamp Everest and across Tibet."
"It really surprised us that an accounting system could actually be a pleasure to use."
Enter your details and the team at will help you organise the best service for your business.

Blues Show Up for Two, Disappear Late
Why is it whenever the fans around St. Louis start really getting their hopes up, say after an impressive three game road win streak, the Blues seem to turn in an effort that is really just … puzzling – and frustrating. So long three game win streak and hello two game losing streak. The Blues are not only quickly becoming one of the most frustrating teams to follow but also are making a great case for fans to stay home and not fill the Scottrade.
6-12-2. That's ugly. That's giving your home fans no reason to come out and spend their money to fill the seats when they could just watch from home (unless you're a Dish Network person, but that's a whole other issue). Tonight the Blues skated pretty well through two periods and carried a lead of 3-2 into the final frame. Guess what happened. If the game was on the road, you'd likely say the team closed it out, but if the game was at home, as tonight unfortunately was, you likely already know the Blues let another win slip away.
Alexander Steen gave the Note an early lead, tallying his 4th of the year midway through the first. Buffalo answered five minutes later through Jochen Hecht, and the period ended tied 1-1. No sign of the trouble that was looming in the distance.
The second period saw Buffalo take their first lead with Mike Grier scoring to make it a 2-1 contest. The Blues stepped up their game and scored the next two, closing out the second period up 3-2 thanks to Eric Brewer and Steen with his second of the night.
And then the third period happened. Sounds familiar, right? It might not be on the scale of the Edmonton debacle, but it still is two points that got away on home ice. Buffalo scored three goals in the final frame while the Blues never could quite find an answer. Grier added his second of the night while Tim Connolly lit the lamp twice.
The fifth goal stung the most. The Blues took to the power-play with roughly five minutes remaining. The Sabres pressured whomever was in control of the puck, which led to a two-on-two headed toward the Blues' net. Cue some of the worst defending we have seen all season. Both defenders went after the puck carrier while Connolly skated in behind the play and notched a short handed effort that essentially closed the door on another disappointing night.
I myself am a die hard Blues fan, as I am sure most of you who read this have a passion for the team as well, but to the casual observer, this is a tough side to get behind. There is just so much talent on this team, it boggles the mind how play in the third period can just be that poor, or uninspired until it is too late.
The three game win streak through Canada was impressive, but maybe it is a sign of what the future might hold rather than what we should expect on a regular basis. No page appears to be turned, no lessons learned, no rejuvenated playoff hopes – at least not for now.

Benign Conditions of the Pancreas
In addition to cysts and various types of pancreatic cancer, there are also a number of other non-cancerous conditions that can affect the pancreas. Not only can these conditions cause painful symptoms, but they can also be life-threatening and contribute to the development of other serious diseases and conditions and often require timely medical attention.
Acute Pancreatitis
Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas. Acute pancreatitis occurs suddenly and goes away in a few days with treatment. Acute pancreatitis is often the result of gallstones, small hardened bits of bile that irritate the pancreas as they pass through the bile ducts. Learn more >>
Annular Pancreas
Annular pancreas is a congenital defect in which a portion of the pancreas encircles the small intestine. Learn more >>
Chronic Pancreatitis
Chronic pancreatitis may begin gradually or with an acute episode that damages the pancreatic ducts. Learn more >>
Pancreas Divisum
Chronic or recurring pancreatitis is sometimes associated with a common birth defect of the pancreas called pancreas divisum. In pancreas divisum, the endocrine and exocrine portions of the pancreas do not join together as they are supposed to during fetal development. Learn more >>
Splenic Artery Aneurysms
Like the aorta and iliac artery, the splenic artery can develop aneurysms, bulges in weakened portions of artery walls. Learn more >>

Daniel Island, where gardens respect both a community master plan and Charleston traditions, is the focus of "Gardens for Gardeners," the Charleston Horticultural Society's Fall Tour.
If you go
What: Charleston Horticultural Society's Fall Tour, "Gardens for Gardeners."
When: 1-5 p.m. Oct. 13.
Where: Daniel Island.
Admission: $30. Purchase online at www.chashortsoc.org or by calling 579-9922. Pick up tour maps at Island Expressions, 162 Seven Farms Drive, Suite 105, Daniel Island.
more information: Self-guided driving tour. Advance reservations recommended. A few tickets will be available on tour day from noon to 2 p.m. at Island Expressions.
Gardens on next Sunday's tour have been developed within the past 20 years. But techniques, including the use of mature plants, ensure these young gardens can take their places alongside many older ones.
"The whole island feels like one big garden," says Susan Epstein, tours manager for Charleston Horticultural Society. "You have got some formal gardens and you have got some informal gardens."
While many gardens have aspects that definitely speak to the Lowcountry's gardening heritage, the architecture of the homes on Daniel Island is part of the influence as well, Epstein says.
"Houses there have had to be built at a higher elevation," Epstein says. "Some gardens are stepped up almost like a terrace, which is unusual for Charleston." The change in elevation easily can be five or six feet from the street to the house, she says. Gardeners with a sloping front yard can pick up many design ideas from those.
"One of them has a fantastic window box that goes across five or six windows," Epstein says. "To have herbaceous plants in it and underneath it adds a lot of depth and color."
Any plants that attract humming birds are blooming there now, Epstein says. Those touring will see canna lilies, hibiscus, milkweed, salvia and sweet grass. Due to the rainy summer, many tropical plants continue to bloom.
One of the gardens on the tour is that of Larry and Laurie Seese.
"I try to plant things that attract butterflies, humming birds and bees," says Laurie Seese, whose yard is certified as a wildlife habitat by the National Wildlife Federation. The yard's immense variety of plants fills it with color pretty much all year long.
The Seese's pie-shaped yard is little more than half an acre and features an eclectic array of plants, she says. The 10 year-old garden has undergone two major redesigns.
One Joe Pye weed is large, covered with dome-shaped clusters and rich in nectar and pollen. Her salvia include Midnight Blue and Hot Lips. In addition, there is Mexican sunflower and a variety of coneflower growing in a bed surrounding a Confederate Rose tree.
The more familiar plants are camellias, encore azaleas, hydrangeas and roses.
The garden, which Seese describes as eclectic, also attracts deer, raccoons and fox squirrel.

Steve Shaw, first-year coordinator of SEC officials, discussed the new interpretation during an interview with Tony Barnhart and Dave Baker aired live on SECsports.com during this week's SEC spring meetings in Destin, Fla.
"That's probably going to be the most visible rule change this year," said Shaw, the successor to Rogers Redding, who was named the NCAA's coordinator of officials in February. "I think the coaches want it because it's going to help them coach up their players not to do these things."
Shaw went on to explain that if an unsportsmanlike act "occurs during the live-ball sequence, the spot of the foul is where that foul will be enforced from."
Previously, a player who punctuated a scoring play by high-stepping the final few steps on his way to the goal line incurred a 15-yard penalty that was assessed on his team's ensuing kickoff. Now that the infraction is considered a live-ball foul, the team loses the six points and all of the yards gained following the infraction, in addition to sustaining a 15-yard penalty.
High-stepping isn't the only action that will get a ball-carrier flagged, of course. Players who somersault into the end zone or dive needlessly across the goal line will be penalized, as well.
"The guy that turns the big somersault into the end zone usually plants at the 2 (yard line) and does his big somersault into the end zone," Shaw said. "Well, the 2-yard line will be the spot of the enforcement, and we'll back them up 15 yards from there."
Instead of a 6-0 lead with the conversion attempt pending, the offending team would face a first-and-10 at the 17-yard line with the score still 0-0.
Naturally, some fans already are grumbling that the new interpretation deprives players of the right to celebrate their achievements. Shaw says it does nothing of the sort, noting that officials are instructed to "show some latitude" when a player is merely expressing "exuberance" following a touchdown.
He illustrated his point by citing a controversial call in last December's Pinstripe Bowl between Kansas State and Syracuse. A Wildcat receiver incurred a 15-yard penalty simply because he gave a quick military-style salute to the crowd after scoring a touchdown that closed the gap to 36-34. Because of an overzealous official, the potential game-tying two-point conversion had virtually no chance of succeeding.
The unsportsmanlike-conduct rule, Shaw emphasized, is merely aimed at curtailing any action that is "demeaning to an opponent or makes a mockery of the game or looks like it's choreographed."
He hopes SEC players will be mindful of the new interpretation and police themselves so that officials don't have to.
"Some people will say, 'So you all (officials) are going to take touchdowns away? No, the player will decide to give up his touchdown when he does that," Shaw said. "It's important for the fans to understand that what is an unsportsmanlike foul does not change. We're not tightening down. The same fouls will be unsportsmanlike conduct."
Moreover, if a ball-carrier waits until he is in the end zone before launching into a self-centered celebration routine, the 15-yard penalty he incurs will be assessed on his team's ensuing kickoff - same as before.
Though unpopular in some quarters, the new interpretation of the unsportsmanlike-conduct rule is merely another step in the ongoing campaign to maintain the game's dignity by eliminating over-the-top taunting and showboating.
Former Cleveland Browns head man Paul Brown supposedly said it first and probably said it best: "When you get into the end zone, act like you've been there."

Ratings for Dr. Dana N. Jennings
Receptionists stared at me as I entered office. No smile, no greeting, nothing. While checking out no improvement on cordiality. I had to wait 1.5 months for this appointment as I had been experiencing extreme fatigue and body aches. Received annual examination and was told my concerns would have to be addressed at a future appointment. That appointment was scheduled for 2 months out. Unacceptable!
She connected with me as a person and not just a client. Very informative and thorough in her assessment of my health problems and needs. I recommend her highly.
Dr. Jennings is kind and complete. Dr. Jennings is thorough with her medical evaluation. She is compassionate. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional internist.
She listens and responds appropriately. She will call it as she sees it and I appreciate that. Dr. Jennings is a doctor who I highly recommend.

Investing in stocks has more in common with going to the polling station on election day than you may think. Besides paying lobbyists untold sums of money, many of the nation's biggest publicly traded corporations and their executives donate directly to political campaigns.
Take Altria Group, the proprietor of Marlboro cigarettes, as an example. Since 1990, it's spent nearly $30 million on political contributions, 73% of which have gone to Republican candidates. Meanwhile, Disney spent a comparatively paltry $13.9 million, but gave the lion's share, or 70%, of its support to Democrats over the same time period.
With this in mind, I sat down to uncover the biggest corporate contributors behind the nation's leading politicians. Using data from the Center for Responsive Politics, the following presentation reveals the 10 corporations that most heavily bankrolled Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner in the last full election cycle.

Since we first heard them croon "Sara Smile" like two street-corner serenaders in 1975, Hall & Oates have successfully crossed the color lines with their brand of blue-eyed soul. So if any pop duo have earned the right to record an album of classic R&B covers, it's them. Daryl Hall and John Oates find new inspiration in old gems (plus three nicely integrated originals) that are a perfect fit for their patented harmonies and Philly soul-inspired stylings. Appropriately, they pay homage to The Sound of Philadelphia with reverent renditions of the O'Jays' 1978 hit "Use Ta Be My Girl" and Teddy Pendergrass's 1980 slow jam "Love TKO" that show their love for the source material. They also shine on well-chosen covers of the Spinners' "I'll Be Around" and Gladys Knight and the Pips' "Neither One of Us," which brings out lead singer Hall's most affecting vocal. However, their take on Barry White's "Can't Get Enough of Your Love Babe" shows that not every song is meant to be remade.

Seconds can seem like a long time when you are waiting for a website to load, and shoppers are especially impatient. Online marketplace Etsy said on Wednesday it was satisfied with the amount of time it took for its product listing pages to load, but it was not satisfied with its home page load time.
Etsy published some site performance data in a blog post yesterday and said it would be concentrating on improving the page-load time of its home page over the coming weeks.
The accompanying chart shows page-load times for listings, shops, search, the home page and member profile - the time it takes for each of the pages to laod for members who are signed-in to the site. The numbers in the chart are the number of milliseconds required to generate each type of page for the average and 95th percentile of visitors on Tuesday, August 2nd.
Seth Walker, one of Esy's software engineers, said every page is dynamically generated for every single request because every page is unique. In general, the more information displayed on a page, and the more unique the information on a page is, the more time it will take to assemble that page.
"On average," Walker wrote, "our servers can generate a listing page in a little over a blink of an eye, and for the great majority of requests in less than two eye blinks. That's great, because the listing page is by far the most frequently viewed page on the site."
He said the home page for a signed-in member takes more time to generate than any other.

ONCE AGAIN, the Daily News misses the point regarding the Catholic bishops' opposition to the Obama administration's mandate that Catholic organizations pay for contraceptives, sterilization and, yes, devices and drugs that induce abortions.
This is first and foremost not about contraception. It is about the freedom to practice our religion without government coercion. Second, this is not just a Catholic concern. Leaders of other faith traditions are outraged by this as well.
What the federal government ultimately seeks to do with this mandate is to impose its radical agenda to eliminate Catholic health care and social services. Those who seek to marginalize the voices of the Catholic bishops and the faithful are working only to suppress their own First Amendment right to free speech.

Success in this field requires students who are emotionally stable. Not only must they be service orientated, empathetic and good communicators, they must also be assertive when necessary and able to make good, clear decisions under stress.
Laws, regulations and policy must be adhered to in dealing with situations ranging from minor service calls to critical incidents.
Success in this field requires the following:
Integrity: A good police officer is one who maintains honesty in all dealings, both in work and personal life. If officers make bad choices, they need to have the integrity to step forward and make things right.Confidence: Good officers must also be brave. They often walk into dangerous situations with an unknown outcome. They need to show the people around them that they can maintain calm in dealing with stressful situations.
Compassion: Some of the people committing crimes do so out of desperation. Some are coerced into the criminal activity. Others are victims of crime. Officers must deal with all others in a professional and compassionate manner.
Reliability: Officers must be dependable regarding work attendance, job knowledge and issues of integrity. When a call comes in, the public expects and deserves a competent and concerned response.
Patience: Out-of-control suspects, distraught parents and abused victims all need a certain amount of patience in order to calm down. A good police officer will do what they can to resolve situations with as much patience as possible.
If you have these characteristics, this program may be for you. Contact an Admissions Advisor at a campus near you to discuss the possibilities.

WEST ORANGE — A longtime police lieutenant in West Orange allegedly falsified about $3,000 in overtime during roughly four months, according to a complaint filed by the Essex County Prosecutor's Office.
Richard Levens submitted documents where he claimed "he had worked certain hours on duty as a West Orange police officer and extra duty jobs ... knowing that he did not work those hours, or that he only worked a portion of the hours," says the complaint dated May 22.
He received $2,920.75 in compensation for claiming hours he did not actually work — a crime of third-degree theft — from Nov. 28, 2012, to March 19, 2013, according to the prosecutor's office.
A 24-year veteran of the township police department, Levens was suspended without pay on May 22, the same day the complaint was signed. He was charged by summons and had his gun removed, according to Katherine Carter, a spokeswoman for the Essex County Prosecutor's Office. Levens, 45, of Randolph, earns an annual salary of $123,156, public records show.
Attorney Charles Sciarra, who is representing Levens, emphasized the veteran police lieutenant's past track record, which he said includes more than 1,000 arrests and working on an FBI task force to protect children against predators.
"My client has a long exemplary record. We're going to try to piece together what's being alleged," Sciarra said.
Previously, Levens was credited for performing several heroic rescues, according to past news reports. In 1994, Levens and other West Orange police and firefighters pulled off a daring rescue after a 19-year-old woman fell from the top of the 200-foot-tall quarry wall behind Eagle Rock Avenue and Smith Manor Boulevard.
Police and firefighters were able to rescue the woman, who was clinging to a small branch about 50 feet down the face of the quarry wall, with a rescue basket, rope and fire ladders.
In 1989, Levens made the news after he and then Sgt. Roy Isakson dove into the municipal pool's diving tank and pulled out a 12-year-old boy who had been submerged for more than 10 minutes. For five to eight minutes until the rescue squad arrived Levens and other officers administered CPR to Marcus Williams of Orange.
Then police chief Edward Palardy said that "as a result of CPR, he (Williams) was revived" before being transported to a local hospital, in critical condition. Williams and two friends had apparently climbed the 10-foot fence surrounding the pool complex, reports said. Williams died the next day and his two unidentified companions, ages 12 and 9, were charged with criminal trespass.
Levens is scheduled for a June 19 court appearance.

Is the Name of Schmeltzer Helping or Hurting You?
All names are not equal. The names you use create your life experiences.
Find out how all the names you use and the energy they create have shaped your life in
free Name and Birth Date Report. Life can be better, find out how.
Your name of Schmeltzer has developed traits of independence and initiative. Your friendly, approachable, and generous nature expresses your love of life. You desire to be happy and to create happiness for others. You respond quickly to encouragement and appreciation and, as long as you are free from monotony, you are generally good-natured and happy-go-lucky.
You are very firm and positive in your ideas and decisions, yet you often require encouragement and incentives to finish what you start. Rarely do you plan your activities ahead of time to follow a systematic routine to completion. You tend to be impulsive and to scatter your efforts, working on projects only when you feel like it or when faced with a serious deadline. These qualities reduce your success in anything requiring organization and attention to detail. Budgeting finances can be a problem, because your spending is often impulsive rather than practical. You would not hesitate, however, to help a friend in need, despite your personal financial circumstances at the time.
Unexpected opportunities to socialize, to entertain, and to pursue carefree activities appeal to your capricious qualities. You are very expressive and would excel in positions where you can meet the public. Naturally talkative, you make friends easily, but you must guard against uncontrolled speech. When provoked, you can be very outspoken, argumentative, or sarcastic. Having your independence curtailed can make you very obstinate and uncooperative.
This name contributes to an appreciation for music and the arts and enhances your sense of harmony and rhythm. You could experience a desire to sing or to find some other creative outlet, perhaps in playing a musical instrument or in acting. Practical creativity in such fields as advertising, commercial art, or interior design and decorating would appeal to your sense of proportion and colour.
Since you are a very active person, you desire rich, quick energy foods, particularly sugars. Excessive eating of these foods can cause skin eruptions such as acne, eczema, or psoriasis, or can lead to liver problems. Tension can centre in the head. You could experience such conditions as headaches, weak eyes, or throat ailments.
Do You Want Something Better?
You have a unique inner potential. With your first breath, a spiritual essence and purpose became a part of you and gave you life, caused your heart to beat, and your systems to work, and activated your physical growth. Your particular date of birth determines your unique core purpose, the reason for your life, and the pathway you should follow for ultimate happiness.
Whether your inner potential fully expresses depends upon the names you use!
Are the Names You Use Holding You Back?
Find out how your life is influenced by all the names you have used. We will analyze your unique inner potential from your date of birth and the names you use in your free Name and Birth Date Report:
- Mental/personality strengths and weaknesses

Never enough power!
Hi all, I'm a newbie to this site.
I have a Losi XXX-T MF2 (and a MF1) and I've been running a Novak 5800SS for about a year now. It's been a very good motor, but I want to upgrade big time!
I saw my friend run 12 cells on his Hacker c40 8t and was absolutely stunned by the speed. The Novak is limited only at 7 cells. I was gonna get the Hacker, but I would like something MORE powerful even. I'm interested in the Lehner range. They seem powerful and cheaper, but still good quality.
The Lehner basic XL4200 looks good. It's suggested to be run at 6-12 cells which is exactly the range I'm looking at. The problem is it's rated at 110 amps!
But then there's also the basic 4200 not XL (6-10 cell) which is rated at 45-55A.
What's the difference between the performance of the basic and the basic XL series? I know the XL's run cooler and are a bit bigger. I don't really want to spend a fortune on a speedy that can handle 110A if I don't have to.
Could I get a cheap ESC (I saw one on eBay for under $100) that's rated 80/100A and use it with say maximum 10 cells on the XL4200 (110A) without frying it?
If anyone knows a bit about these, I would appreciate any input.

Hi Marcomando,
i've been really interested in brushless motors. what is your experience with the Novak 5800SS? how fast does it make your car go? and how much runtime do you have and what batt. you use with it (brand, capacity Mah)??

Cells make all the difference no matter what motor you run , Here is what I use http://www.smc-racing.com/index.html with good chargers and a Discharge and equalizing tray , RED
The Novak has been an excellent all-round system. It's been very low maintenance. In the year that I've had it, all I've done is quickly open it up and blow it out with compressed air every 3 months or so! Top end, the Novak is just a tad faster than my Tamiya 11 turn modified brushed motor but runs much cooler. Being a sensored brushless, the Novak responds really well low and high speeds. It's much more responsive and torquey than the brushed motor so it really gets off the mark.
With the GP3300 6 cell packs, I can lift the front wheels. I also have the GP3700's which perform about the same and last longer. I made up a couple of 7-cell packs and they really make the Novak fly. The motor is rated up to 7 cells, but you have to watch the temperature of the ESC and motor closely. With the car body on and 7 cells, it got hot pretty quickly. I also got in the new Intellect IB 3800 pre-made 7 cell packs, but I noticed they lack the 'punch' that the GP cells deliver.
I'd say you get about 10 mins out of the GP3300 6 cell packs and about 15-20 mins from the 7 cell packs.
If I use a bigger pinion, the XXX-T MF2 gets to 60 kph (40 mph), maybe more but as I said, it will get hot quicker as you put more strain on the motor.
Just ask me if you want to know anything else.
Updating my original message,
I found the answer to my question! I sent an email to rc-monster.com and they were very helpful in explaining the Lehner motors to me.
He explained the Lehner basic 5300 was similar to the Hacker c40 8t. They can handle 12 cells, but could fail on a hot day (which we get a lot in Summer). The Lehner XL series are larger and run cooler, but I was just concerned about the max amps drawn by the xl 4200 was 110A. They told me that would only be the case if it was used in a heavier vehicle. My XXX-T MF2 would not draw many more amps with the xl series motor than it would with the smaller basic series. That's good because I just need to get an ESC rated at say 80 amps and it could still handle 12 cells with the xl4200. They suggested the MGM 80/12 or 120/12, or even the 160/16 ESC if you wanna go 16 cells!
The xl3600 would not rev as high as the xl4200, but has more torque, hence you can gear it up to make it faster. But the xl3600 responds better to 8-12 cell range. The xl5000 would have better top end, but less torque, runs hotter and is recommended only 6-8 cells. The xl4200 is best in the 6-12 cell range, which is exactly my range.
So I'm gonna go ahead and order the xl4200. Can't wait to see what it'll do! Up to 1300 watts should be a touch faster than the Novak 200w !

DOH! I already ordered it. I'll just have to try it and see. I'm gonna put a high pinion in and see how that goes. The guy from the shop said the XLs had pretty much same performance as the basics, just were bigger and therefore ran cooler. They even said you could go a lower motor and gear it higher and they would run even cooler. And the website says the XL2000 to the XL3100 are good for the e-maxx.
So the basic 5300 would get better top speeds? The reason I didn't go for that one is on the website ( http://www.rc-monster.com/products.php?cat=35 ) it says the 5300 is good for 6-8 cells. The basic 4200 6-10 cells.

lol yea doesn't sound right 2 me either!...lol
but thats jus what he told us. he asctuaally had the radar gun on it tho. and it did hit 78.1 mph.
u see.. a 5300 will get more rpms of less cells (high kv) and on the same cells as that 4200 it will go much faster!
a 5300 on 12 cells creates 76,320rpms!
A 4200 on 12 cells creates 60,480rpms!
as u can see, the 5300 will kill it!... but ur 4200 will have more torque and longer run times.
It's probably right if you consider it's running 12 cells. Already when I use 7 cells I notice the increase in run time, so 12 cells would last twice as long as 6 cells, wouldn't it? I usually got up to 10 mins racing with 6 cell 3300's. These 7 cell 3700's I haven't even been able to use a full battery without the system getting too hot after about 10-15 mins!

I am sorry but I could NOT resist posting this from a longtime and very wise safety friend! THANKS Fred!
- You are on a Horse, galloping at a constant speed.
- On your right side is a sharp drop off.
- On your left side is an Elephant traveling at the same speed as you.
- Directly in front of you traveling in the same direction, is a galloping Kangaroo and your horse is unable to overtake it.
- Behind you is a Lion running at the same speed as you and the Kangaroo.
What must you do to safely get out of this highly dangerous situation?
Answer: Get your drunk !@#$ off the merry-go-round! I am sorry, but when Fred sent this to me the set up was brilliant. I sat there staring at my screen thinking "OK this is a trick question, but what is the trick". I then scrolled down and so the answer. Brought a smile and chuckle to my face so I hope it did the same for you.

Deep-tissue massage is a technique that addresses pain by focusing on the deeper layers of muscle to release restrictions caused by chronic patterns of overuse or misuse of particular bodily structures.
By accessing the deeper musculature and moving across the grain, rather than with the grain of the muscles, the fasciae encasing the muscle groups can be broken down and reorganized, latent lactic acid can be flushed out, and pain can be relieved.
Depending on the severity of the situation, deep-tissue work can provide relief in one session or several, as the body's patterns of movement may need to be addressed as well.

Hi i currently have a wireless network set up like this.
Combined broadband modem and wireless router which is connected to:
A computer running vista home premium via ethernet cable
A computer running xp home edition via wireless
Both of these computers get an internet connection. I have tried file
sharing using clear names for the computers and workgroup but the computers
do not seem to co-operate with each other. Is it because my computers
accounts don't have usernames and passwords?
Firstly once you have enable file sharing on both computers where do you go
to find the other computers folders? And secondly is there anything else that
i might need to do to my networl to get it to share files?

As part of an effort to improve physical activity in the county, the city of Greeley and the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment will present a free screening of the bicycle movie "Reveal the Path" today at the Kress Cinema & Lounge, 817 8th Ave. in downtown Greeley.
Following the movie will be a short discussion about new opportunities to increase walking and bicycling efforts in Greeley and Weld County.

Declared Monuments
in Hong Kong - New Territories
The Hau Ku Shek Ancestral Hall in Ho Sheung Heung was built in the late Ming Dynasty (1368 – 1644). According to the genealogy of the Hau clan, the Ancestral Hall was constructed by Hau Ku Shek, the 17th generation ancestor of the Hau clan. The date inscribed on the name board hanging over the main entrance suggests that the Ancestral Hall underwent renovation around the 27th year of the Qianlong reign (1762) during the Qing Dynasty (1644 – 1911).
The layout of the Ancestral Hall is of the traditional three-hall-two-courtyard style. There are side chambers at both sides of the front courtyard, while an alter is erected in the middle hall for housing ancestral tablets. The two-storey rear hall was used as a village school, with the ground floor providing accommodation for teachers and the upper floor being classrooms. The school was closed during the Second World War. Nowadays, the Hau Ku Shek Ancestral Hall is still used by the clansmen for worshipping ancestors and holding traditional ceremonies. It is also a gathering and meeting place for the locals.
The drum-platforms and doorframe at the facade of the Hau Ku Shek Ancestral Hall are constructed of red sandstone, traditionally a precious building material for important buildings. Its roof ridges are richly embellished. The camel's humps, eaves boards and tie beam of the Ancestral Hall are also decorated with exquisite carvings of auspicious motifs.
The Hau Ku Shek Ancestral Hall was declared a monument on 19 December 2003 and is protected under the Antiquities and Monuments Ordinance.

NEW YORK — Like an AWOL-ing stone, singer Bob Dylan didn't make it to the National Book Critics Circle awards here last night to see if his Chronicles, Vol. I had won the organization's prize for biography/autobiography.
No matter. It didn't.
"De Kooning liked to say that nothing is certain about art except that it is a word," said Mark Stevens, coauthor with Annalyn Swann of the book that did win, De Kooning: An American Master (Knopf).
In the end, the modernist master known for his "thick, succulent swirls of paint," in the phrase of one NBCC critic, had bested the troubadour of the '60s and three other finalists.

Those who raised beef cattle in the early 1900s were often on their own when it came to diagnosing and treating sick cattle. Many stockmen relied on recipes for concoctions passed down from generation to generation. But savvy stockmen sought more up-to-date resources. One widely-used resource was The Practical Stock Doctor, first published in 1904 by professor of veterinary medicine Dr. George Waterman of Michigan State Agricultural College. This book was written as a guide for farmers and ranchers who were interested in learning more about livestock diseases and how to recognize and treat those diseases on their own. [Read more…]
Farm energy efficiency
by Sanne Kure-Jensen
Farm inputs can include energy in the form of fuels, electricity and fertilizers. Crop and livestock production uses energy in many forms. Energy heats water for washing equipment and harvested crops, and powers lighting for production and handling areas. Livestock and produce producers use energy for heating, ventilation and refrigeration. Transportation uses more energy to move inputs to farms as well as moving produce and livestock from farms to processors, markets and consumers. Sustainable, viable farms maximize energy efficiency and minimize costs for all aspects of production.
The Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) oversees programs that help farmers and producers conserve energy through a variety of on-farm energy upgrades for existing buildings. Kip Pheil, C.E.M., Acting Leader of the USDA NRCS National Energy Technology Development Team and Stephen Henry, P.E., NRCS South Carolina Assistant State Conservation Engineer described NRCS programs and shared their expertise in a webinar called "Key NRCS Energy Practices: Farmstead Energy, Lighting, and Building Envelope."

The bottomless pit of Pennsylvania pensions

Valuation summary-
"We consider EPD units a core holding among MLP investors given its superior position
across many investment metrics: large inter-connected asset footprint, high visibility to
growth opportunities, balance sheet strength (only MLP rated BBB+/Baa1), high
distribution coverage, proven high quality management, strong corporate culture, and
sustainable distribution growth.
Given EPD's superior coverage ratios and visible growth opportunities, we believe that
investors will likely bid down the yield on EPD's units lower than what would be typical of
an MLP growing its distribution roughly 5-7%. We believe that EPD could trade in a yield
range of 4.25%-4.5% (~a 150-175 bp premium to the yield target on the AMZX) which
implies a 12-month target range of $63-$67 and $65 TP. Together with $2.78/unit in
expected distributions suggests a total return of 9%-15%, which is not quite enough to
support an Outperform rating over the next 12 months, but suffice to say is at the high end
of Neutral.
That said, we continue to view EPD as a core holding for MLP investors and would take
positions with the view of holding those positions for the next 3-5 years, particularly, if we
see pull backs in the price of EPD units. Should we see a sizable pull back in the value of
the units, we would most likely become more positive on the stock."
Thanks for passing that along. Did you happen to listen to the conference call on 4/30?
Sentiment: Hold
CC wasn't that informative coming as it did so soon after the analysts meeting they had 4/17. That was extremely interesting and confirmed I'm likely to be to be holding my units for quite a few more years(8 so far), as EPD has many $billions more opportunities for organic growth. Analyst's day webcast and presentation still available on their site.

Online reports that High School Musical star Ashley Tisdale has been diagnosed HIV positive are "completely untrue," her rep, Scott Appel, tells PEOPLE.
Several Internet posts Thursday said the actress/singer may have contracted the disease from her rhinoplasty procedure last year. By Friday the rumor mill kicked into overdrive causing some panicked fans to post YouTube videos to "Pray for Ashley."
Another Internet site posted what it claimed was a statement from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
But Cedars-Sinai spokesperson Simi Singer tells PEOPLE: "We absolutely did not issue a release."
Tisdale, 22, is currently in Salt Lake City filming High School Musical 3.

Rep Says Ashley Tisdale HIV Rumors 'Untrue'

Last week's column on the loss and return of loved ones generated more response than any of my previous writings. Some of you had me in tears with beautiful, touching stories of your own visitors from beyond. If I weren't already a believer, your accounts would have convinced me that the soul does indeed outlive these poor old bodies of ours.
Interestingly, each one of these visits was from an immediate family member - a parent, a sibling, even a child. Not one spouse or lover. I guess blood, being thicker than water, is a superior conductor for this type of energy. In any case, the sharing of your personal moments made this Christmas even more meaningful and inspirational to me, and I am deeply grateful.
Now we are just days away from the holiday I consider the most significant of all: New Year's Day. Even as a child, when Christmas was my favorite day of the year, New Year's seemed even more special. I think it's because of all the rituals surrounding it. I'm a sucker for rituals.
At our home, my father's New Year's Eve party was a long-standing tradition. Preparations began almost as soon as the Christmas gifts were unwrapped. The living room was cleared to make room for rows of folding tables, the little Japanese ones that Shirokiya used to sell, coffee table height. Picnic tables were borrowed and brought into the patio for those who weren't comfortable sitting on the floor. Both house and garage got a thorough cleaning, which is a required New Year's activity anyway, party or not. Gotta have your house cleaned and your bills paid before the year ends, so that you can start the next year fresh.
The first of the guests arrived in late afternoon and the last to leave shuffled home well after sunrise. The party itself was nothing fancy, just a lot of folks enjoying a lot of food and fellowship. From the garage icebox (it was a refrigerator but we still called it an icebox, except for my young son, who named it the "re-food-gerator"), Mom dug out the tako (octopus) caught by friends earlier in the year and frozen for storage. Steamed tako with sweet miso sauce was my favorite, along with Auntie Irene's little cherry tarts and anything made by my cousin Betty.
Supervised by a couple of uncles, we kids played with sparklers on the front lawn and anxiously awaited the arrival of my Honolulu cousin, who always brought the good stuff, the real fireworks, from the big city. Of course, this was before Homeland Security and political correctness stifled our rambunctious, smoke-filled celebrations.
Like the use of firecrackers to scare away evil spirits, most of our traditions were culturally based, but I suspect my mother may have invented one or two of our family rituals. I'm almost positive she made up the rule about greeting the new year in your own home, but it stuck. Even as a wild teenager, when I abandoned the party to cruise with my friends, I always got home in time for the Times Square ball drop - via tape delay, of course. In fact, there were a couple of years when New Year's Eve was the only night of the year that saw me actually adhere to my midnight curfew. I was bold enough to defy my parents, but I didn't dare mess with New Year's rituals.
New Year's Day always begins with a good bath. When my husband and I were studying karate, our sensei led us in a similar custom, conducting a sunrise session on the beach. In full uniform, waist-deep in the ocean, we performed katas and drills to exhaustion, then exhilaration. These years, my ritual baths are not quite as strenuous, but just as satisfying. I stumble straight from the bed into a hot, steamy shower. I imagine all the sorrow and pain of the previous year being washed down the drain as my hopes and plans for the new year flow through my head like the water cascading over me.
I don't do resolutions in the proverbial sense, but I follow a comparable tradition. Maybe it's more of a superstition. Mom always said, "Whatever you do on New Year's Day, you'll be doing for the rest of the year." So I make it a point to avoid any unpleasantness and I fill my day with positive thoughts and actions.
This Sunday I have a fun gig in the morning and tickets to a great show that night. In between, I'll spend time with loved ones near and far, even those departed. And I will laugh and dance and sing. It's going to be a wonderful year.
Happy New Year!

Curiouser and Curiouser: Brocard Chablis Vaulorent 2008
I've been a fan of Jean-Marc Brocard Chablis for a long time now, and I usually like his Vaulorent Premier Cru.
Found this at a particularly good price, and it was a good vintage, so I figured it was a great deal.
Sadly, it really wasn't.
It was pleasant enough, and nothing was "wrong" with it...but I expect more than pleasant enough from a good Chablis. I expect outstanding.
As a Chablis AOC, this would likely have been fine. But it wasn't, It was a Chablis Premier Cru, and that raises expectations.
The essential nature of Chablis was there---the clean, unwooded lines of Chardonnay---but it was pro forma and lacking in focus and grip and anything that would distinguish it as wine from an exceptional site.
There was a vague sense of citrus fruit, but no definable or distinctive elements within that generic description. There was little to no liveliness or vivacity that I expect from Chablis Premier Cru, and no perceptible depth or dimension either. No minerality, no oyster shells, no salty breeze in the nose---really, none of the things that I look for in Chablis Premier Cru.
I'll hasten to add---before the legion of wine geeks suggest that I overlooked this aspect---that I considered this may be in a 'closed' phase. Been known to occur in Burgundies, and definitely in Chablis. But that wasn't it. The wine wasn't closed up or hiding in its shell. Just not much there there. I'd like to be generous and say the wine will blossom out within a few years...but I really don't expect it will.
I say this with reservation---as mentioned, I've been a fan of Brocard for a while...but this one just didn't make the cut. Doesn't mean I'm off Brocard. One wine does not a legend make or break, and I'd have to have more misses than hits, and Brocard still leads with many hits. So I'll go back and try other Brocard Chablis and hope this was just a one-off.

Dahhhn in Lawrenceville in the 5300 block, sits a little oasis of a restaurant called Pusadee's Garden. Upon arrival, I was ready to give it 4/4 stars on outdoor ambiance alone; and if you look at the pictures on the website, you'll see what I mean. With the perfect breeze wafting through the garden dining area, colorful umbrellas dotting the skyscape, and twinkling lanterns aglow, Pusadee's Garden is quite romantic and intimate. If Puck peeked around the corner, I would not have been surprised.
I don't eat Thai food very often; and admittedly, I am easy to please within this genre. I ordered the Tempura Vegetables (sweet potatoes and squash) and Chicken Satay, which were delicious. TLF let me try her Shrimp Salad, which was also tasty and topped with a notably nice vinaigrette dressing. I also sampled the Garlic Chicken, which was very good as well. Of the seven people in our party, everyone was pleased. DJF was brought the wrong order... an 8 on the spicy scale (with levels of 1-10), when he ordered a 3; but it was quickly remedied and we shared a few laughs by tasting it to determine if he was being overly dramatic or not. When I tried the 8, I got slightly lightheaded so I think my spicy comfort zone is probably between 3-5.
Note: Although I did not have dessert (a Cotton Candy Cosmo at Savoy later in the evening took that spot), the coconut ice cream came highly recommended.
Lastly, I want to note that the service was great (other than the spicy mix-up). My water glass was refilled several times without me noticing (which was key once I had tried the "8"); our BYOB white wine was placed on ice and glasses were supplied immediately; and the waitstaff was very helpful and friendly.
Summer is my livelihood; and I will be back within a week to experience another midsummer night's dream.
(3 stars, 3/4)

Lenore Skomal: Storage rules lack shelf life
I almost made the mistake multiple times before -- reaching for the onerous thing and then suddenly stopping and smirking to myself. Thank goodness I looked at the bottle.
But today was the day I mistakenly rolled on Biofreeze instead of deodorant. If you aren't familiar with this product, just ask anyone with arthritis or aching muscles -- someone who is most likely hooked on the over-the-counter, pain-relieving stuff. It's a roll-on gel consisting of all kinds of stuff, but the main ingredient -- and the reason so many rejoice when applying it -- is a copious amount of menthol. Great for aches and pains, but when smeared liberally on tender-skinned, recently shaved underarms, it hurts like stinging nettles on your nether region.
Truthfully, it was just a matter of time before it happened. The white innocuous cylinder sat in the medicine cabinet, looking exactly like roll-on deodorant. After applying the contents under my arms, I screamed to my husband, my armpits burning as if I'd shoved red-hot cinders into them. He calmly said, "Well, that's because it was on the deodorant shelf, not on the pain-relief shelf, where it belongs."
Seriously, smarty pants? I didn't know there was even an order to the medicine cabinet, much less designated shelving for things. I routinely shoved various health-care products wherever there was a patch of real estate. Now he tells me there's some method to this madness.
But that's my husband. He creates systems that only he can understand and which apparently work for him, but not me, primarily because he acts like the NSA when developing them, and I'm left in the dark.
Make no mistake. I have systems, too, I guess, but they usually involve utilizing the sense of sight, not ESP. And I'm honest enough to admit that my systems have their failings. Such as the time when I reached into the cupboard without looking to get a bottle of hazelnut coffee sweetener, felt around, grabbed the red wine vinegar instead, and didn't notice until the first sip of coffee.
OK. So my system has some kinks. Clearly, if you don't eyeball whatever it is you are searching for, you're in for a surprise, unless you are especially adept at identifying products solely by sense of touch. I used to be very good at doing that. Either I've lost that particular talent or now everything feels like everything else, which, in that case, means it's best to have a better system.
Such as one that groups like objects together, so you don't end up pouring vinegar in your coffee or applying extra-strength menthol rub under your arms. Or smearing bright blue eye shadow on your lips, mistaking it for lip balm. But that's another story.
