My wife was a hit by a car while riding her bike. She broke her leg in 5 places, had 4+ hours or surgery and now has a titanium rod in her leg. She is getting out of the hospital tomorrow. Some suggestions for helping this self centered, busy person become an effective home health care aide?

After reading this
article on
Weegee, I started thinking about the concept of Noir and wondered about this question. "Does Noir exist as a current idiom or appear in a culture in America in 2008, and if so where might it be found?"

We are having a new kitchen floor put in. Everything has to be out of the kitchen. The propane company wants $130 to spend two minutes disconnecting and reconnecting our propane kitchen stove. There is a shutoff valve next to the stove. Can I safely DIY. How?

You may have
elbow germs and not even know it.
Eeeww! "The crook of your elbow is not just a plain patch of skin. It is a piece of highly coveted real estate, a special ecosystem, a bountiful home to no fewer than six tribes of bacteria. Even after you have washed the skin clean, there are still one million bacteria in every square centimeter." Beware some of these germs may be on your
hockey equipment.

Salvador Dali

Walt Disney collaborated in 1946 on the short animation Destino. Disney had concerns about some of the graphics and it was never released. Lost for 56 years, it was restored in 2003 and has not yet been released for wholesale distribution. Tommorrow is your last chance to see
it at the
Dali and Film exhibit at the Tate Gallery.
