@3, exactly. This was a man with a family, who served his duty in a difficult and often criticized job. He was, by all accounts, one of the "good ones." I mean no disrespect, but when you compare the inconvenience of this type of memorial to the one for Michael Jackson, I think it's a more sincere show of respect.

@18- Alright, sorry for my vitriol. I know that magnolia cupcakes is a long loved institution in nyc (which I loved when I lived there). I was trying to argue for the viability of "all-purpose" bakeries, and not so much against specialized cupcake locales.

@14- Wrong. You're dumb. What's being advocated is not a new concept- it's a return to an established, classic concept of a bakery that is done with great success in many places- examples jumping to mind include Madison Park Bakery, Borracchinis, and Columbia City Bakery.
The whole cupcake craze is a new, cutesy, specialized concept. It's not sustainable. All-purpose bakeries are being advocated for because they are not a trend, they've been around forever, and they have an established, successful business model.

I'm kind of surprised that she is so upfront: "I, like many of my excessively-overweight peers, don't spend my life committed to losing weight." Makes the gastric bypass seem like an easy way out, when in reality it should be a last ditch effort after lifestyle changes. This is a major surgery she's talking about.

Thank you for this article. I live in Rainier valley, and some of the same issues arise- as well as a community that rallies together to support each other through these cracks. It was wonderful to see the police response to this horrible crime, and I hope it bring continued focus towards a neglected, but diverse and well-focused, south end of the city.

@22- I have been kicking myself: a man got on the bus, sat in front of me and closed (without asking) the window we shared. I was only a few stops away from my destination so I didn't say anything, but now I wish I had. Or, vomited on him- either way, lesson learned. DON'T close a window near a pregnant woman! Heh.

sibley commented on Memo to Metro.
@15- Exact same situation! I'm 5 mos pregnant and every time I had to go on the 7, I would feel nauseaus- it is absolutely the most packed, rowdiest, loudest bus route imaginable. The link changed my commute to work into the most pleasant experience imaginable.
I would be curious what routes the AC buses go on- I feel as though I always notice the eastside buses have AC, and it feels like another example of the south end getting ignored. The 7 is an extremely high volume long route that would benefit greatly from AC equipped buses, and I have never once seen AC on one.

I really hate starbucks, so for personal reasons will not go here. Regardless of all the connotations, I'm confused by this step because it is a street that is flooded with independant coffee shops. I think it will fail because they are imitating something that is already established. There's nothing standout different- why would they succeed in stealing business from Victrola or Ladro, which already make really good coffee?

HPV is passed through genital contact. A person can have HPV even if years have passed since he or she had had sex, and most infected persons do not realize they are infected or that they are passing the virus to a sexual partner. She could have gotten HPV through a previous partner, and it didn't show up until she was with you.

Also, you cannot get HPV from being unclean or from toilet seats.
