?Gao Leng's relationships?

?Kuroh Dimercurio? : Well, first thing I notice here is that Kuroh speaks/reads/writes several languages fluently. Leng speaks/reads/writes several variations of Chinese fluently because of his families traditions and connections throughout China - He's kind of the go-to-guy to settle anything in that country. When it comes to other languages, he's very bad at them, limiting his speech and communication. So!! If Kuroh can speak any form of Chinese then I'd image they'd get along okay, since Leng could just speak normally opposed to overexerting himself. Leng also will also speak in Chinese when he's frustrated and so on, perhaps Kuroh would act as a translator of sorts?

Leng - "???????"

??? - "What did he say?"

Kuroh - "...He said 'You have the stench of a..pig.'.."

Dialects aside I still think they'd get along well. Leng treats the majority of guardians as if they were equals to him on L?n L?ng's hierarchy structure. Like 'brothers' and following oaths accordingly, without the insane loyalty and respect reserved for the Rizzo Famiglia. Which means he'd also protect Kuroh when the situation to do so arises. Though he wouldn't be sympathetic towards him, and probably critical at times when he acts too much like a young child - especially since he's a guardian of the Rizzo Famiglia. Another thing is that Kuroh likes reading, and Leng also has a fondness for literature. The art thing would work well, considering that Leng's quite a depressing individual himself. When it comes to Kuroh's other personality, I'd think Leng just leave it alone and for the most part let him do whatever without thinking much of it, since he's a lot stronger in that state of mind anyways.

?Nina Sakeruki? : I cannot imagine Leng being particularly fond of Nina. He's not accustomed to such upbeat, hyper personalities, so he'd probably see her as more of a nuisance than anything. Especially if she ever tried to help him, he wouldn't really react well to that. Of course, he'd still treat her as a family member, all those oaths and what not. He'd actually go out of his way to protect her a bit more than the others, considering she's a girl, and wasn't born into the whole mafia business. Other than that, he'd probably send her a number of smart (rude) remarks regularly. That's all I can think of right now.

?Sin Velarucci? : Leng probably wouldn't like Sin very much, too be honest. He's quite the opposite of the people in the L?n L?ng triad and how they expect people to act within their family. He would see Sin as a very selfish, rather immature type of person. I cannot see them getting along too well, since Sin is so carefree and what not, and Leng is rather the opposite, being more uptight. Though, he would certainly respect Sin's abilities and strength, and wouldn't look down on him. Though, Leng wouldn't be one to go to Sin for help, or assistance, at least not so easily.

He would simply think most of Sin's personality is a poor one, very unbecoming and even shameful - thinking that because he's a guardian of the Rizzo Famiglia he should act more dignified. So it should be said that Sin would be more of a target of smart (hella rude) critical remarks, similar to Nina, but too a worse degree, since Sin is a man and Nina is a girl. That would probably lead to several exchanges in physical attacks, as stated 'He would not hesitate to attack the person who offend him or even his fellow guardians if given the opportunity.' I think they'd get along better under some terms, such as more professional situations, or when Sin isn't acting in way that Leng would describe as 'unseemly'. So the relationship wouldn't be compleatly hostile, or of that sort.

In addition, if Leng ever found out that Sin is actually the son of Marietta Alesse Rizzo, and therefore Kurai's relative, he'd probably have a stroke. Okay, that's being a little dramatic, but he wouldn't take it well considering it would turn out that he was treating Sin inappropriately all this time.

?Alfonso Rizzo? : I think they would get along pretty well. They both share the same unyielding loyalty for Kurai, which Leng would respect. Although, since Alfonso has the surname Rizzo, their relationship wouldn't be very easy going, as Leng would see him not as an equal but as a superior. Kind of like seeing Alfonso as Kurai's right hand man, that sort of thing. His loyalty and respect towards Alfonso wouldn't be as intense as it is towards Kurai, but it'd still be pretty 'something else', and Leng would fulfill nearly any order from him. But I don't think their relationship would be a very strained one, since half of the time Alfonso is a pretty laid back kind of guy.

?Kurai Rizzo? : Alright, since she's the head of the Rizzo Famiglia, the way he treats her differs from the others. In his structured world, she is the top dog, the head honcho, etc etc etc. Her word is literally law and his loyalty is strongest towards her. No joke, if she told Leng to kill himself, he'd do it. Even if it came out of no where, it'd be done. She could easily make him do anything, even if it the request was completely terrible, or without a reason. Well, almost anything. If she requested of him something like...to stop treating her with so much respect, or stop acting so formally, he'd decline, saying that it would be improper. In any case he can still be rather stubborn when it comes to that stuff .. So, yeah, he'd treat her with nothing but respect, and be generally closed off from her because forming a bond that could be considered anything but one of a 'subordinate and a superior' (or whatever you want to call it) would also be improper.

Alfonso Rizzo's relationships:

Kuroh Dimurcurio: He would get along splendidly with him. He would most likely act like an older brother and try not to leave him alone for too long, as he sees how Dimurcurio gets anxious with nobody around. He may also be a bit protective of Kuroh and try to shield him from harm, of course if he had to choose between Kuroh and Kurai, the choice would be Kurai, but when it comes to somebody else, the most likely choice would be Kuroh. He'd probably try to get Kuroh to relax around him and not be so formal and subservient. If this is okay with you, akashi.

Gao Leng: He would have a mutual respect for this man because they are both loyal to Kurai and would be very warm with him and treat him like an equal and not a tool. Alfonso prefers to do things by himself, so the only things he would order from Leng is to protect and assist Kurai if she needs, but maybe nothing more. All in all, Alfonso would try to warm up to Leng and become his friend.

I'll try to add some more later, for now I'm going to work on Alfonso's profile.

Plane truth: Millions spent on rarely used airport

By Dick Johnson and Katy SmyserNBCChicago.com

Just north of the Indiana Toll Road, off Cline Avenue, sits the Gary/Chicago International Airport.

Its name sounds substantial. Its annual budget is in the millions of dollars. And Chicagoans -- along with citizens of Gary -- spend millions in tax dollars every year to help keep it in business.

But in spite of an annual operating budget of more than $3 million -- plus tens of millions more being spent on a runway expansion and other capital projects -- the GCIA terminal sits mostly empty. The front entrance is usually locked; the parking lot is nearly vacant, and the skies are -- for the most part -- empty.

---

That?s because GCIA has only one passenger flight -- Allegiant Airlines Flight 650. It flies nonstop from Sanford, Fla., to Gary, where passengers unload and new passengers board. Allegiant changes the flight number to 651, and the plane takes off and heads back to Sanford.

It?s time on the ground in Gary: Usually less than one hour.

Once the flight is gone, the terminal is shut down and locked up for several days. The Allegiant flight only comes to Gary twice a week, on Thursdays and Sundays. That?s it.

It?s one of the many curiosities of The Little Airport that Could.?

While the airport gets substantial funding from the City of Gary, the State of Indiana and the federal government, it gets additional millions of dollars every year from the City of Chicago -- more than $3.6 million dollars since the beginning of 2011 alone, financial documents reveal. Since 1995, Chicago has sent a total of more than $26 million to help operate the Gary airport.

It all comes from an agreement signed by the cities of Chicago and Gary in 1995, which proposed "the development, enhancement, and operation of existing airports and development of any new Regional Airport serving the Bi-State Region."

The agreement is commonly referred to as "The Compact,"?and the two mayors who signed it -- Richard M. Daley of Chicago and Thomas Barnes of Gary -- originally saw it as a fairly straightforward three-year deal. But it continued, and throughout the years it has often been used as a pawn in the political fights for a third airport in Chicago to counter the proposals to build such an airport in Chicago?s 10th Ward, or -- more recently -- in far-south-suburban Peotone.

"The Compact"?was also floated as a possible solution to the closing of Meigs, even before Daley ordered his bulldozers out to dig up Meigs? runways in the middle of the night in March of 2003.

Now -- 17 years later -- "The Compact"?still exists, and the money still flows in from Chicago.

More investigative reporting from NBCChicago

Part of "The Compact"?requires Chicago to send monthly checks to the Gary Airport from ticket fees paid by passengers arriving and departing at O?Hare and Midway Airports. Those fees alone amounted to $2.4 million paid to Gary in the past year and a half. This "Passenger Facility Charge" -- or PFC money -- is earmarked for capital projects like Gary?s 1900-foot runway extension, currently under construction, and the relocation of railroad tracks, which must be moved to provide sufficient clearance for larger planes to land on the newly-extended runway.

But on top of the passenger fees, Chicago taxpayers also send money to GCIA, every year, to help with the daily operation of the airport. In the past year and a half, that?s amounted to more than $1.1 million from Chicago taxpayers, over and above the $2.4 million from the ticket fees.

And Gary taxpayers pay millions more, each year, as well.

To date, there hasn?t been much to show for all that money. GCIA has seen commercial service come and go in past years -- notably PanAm, Southeast, and Hooters Air. There have been long periods where no passenger planes landed there. Even Allegiant, with its one flight twice a week, is technically not a commercial flight, but a travel service which operates charter flights to smaller-traffic airports. It just started flying in to Gary last February.

The flight itself appears to be a success, with low-cost tickets and easy online booking that regularly attracts a full load of passengers. But the question remains: Is all this tax money worth it, for just two passenger flights a week?

Karen Freeman-Wilson is Gary?s newly-elected, Harvard-educated mayor, and she has often cited GCIA as one of her top priorities for Gary?s struggling future. She is happy to see the nearly-full passenger loads on the Allegiant flight.

"I think it?s indicative of the demand that is pent up for the Gary airport," she said.

But she acknowledges that -- to date at least -- far less business has been generated than the money that is pumped in.

"I think a lot has to do with the marketing effort," she said. "I think it?s important to be able to market Gary as a destination -- to market its proximity not just to Chicago but to downtown Chicago."

And once the runway expansion is complete, Freeman-Wilson sees things taking off.

"Ultimately I think there?s an opportunity for commercial and cargo service here,"?she said.

But the runway expansion has been a difficult and expensive process, primarily because of unforeseen difficulties in moving the railroad tracks, as well as dealing with construction waste and even oil dumped in the runway?s path.

In an effort to see what happens during a typical day at the terminal, NBC?Chicago went to the Gary/Chicago International Airport on a Wednesday. There was not an Allegiant flight scheduled for that day, but the thought was that maybe the terminal would be open for other operations.

That was not the case. The front doors were locked and the place was deserted.

So NBC Chicago returned, unannounced, at noon on a Thursday, when Allegiant does fly in. This time the front door was unlocked, but inside the airport was still virtually empty, with the lights turned off, the ticket counter dark and the baggage carousel silent and still.

A plaque on the wall noted that the terminal was renovated a decade ago. It still looks good as new.

The only people there were a security guard and approximately 15 TSA agents. Their supervisor said they are routinely borrowed from other airports -- South Bend and Chicago -- to come to GCIA twice a week to handle the Allegiant flight.

Finally, about an hour and a half before Allegiant?s scheduled arrival, the airport suddenly sprung to life. Crowds of couples and families snaked along the previously-deserted rope lines in front of the ticket counter. Others removed their shoes and loaded up grey plastic bins to go through security. And when the Allegiant flight arrived at about 2:50 p.m., more passengers streamed out into the terminal and outside to waiting cars. The terminal was truly bustling.

But after another hour, the approximately 140 passengers booked for Sanford were boarded, and the plane took off, not to return for three days.

Then the TSA agents packed up. The ticket counter closed down. And it was lights out until Sunday.

Statement from Chicago's Department of Aviation:
The City of Chicago continues to support the Compact as Gary Airport serves as a reliever airport in the regional Chicago airport system.?? The City recognizes that these are times of tight budgets and has reduced the annual contribution to the Chicago Gary Regional Airport Authority.

Takeoffs/Landings for area airports from Jan. 1 - Aug. 1, 2012:
Unit 5 looked at the daily air traffic -- including every takeoff and landing of passenger, private, and corporate aircraft -- at Gary/Chicago International Airport, and compared its traffic to that at other comparable airports in the Chicago/Northwest Indiana area.? In our survey of various time periods covering 2012, we found that Gary (GYY) had less daily traffic than Waukegan Regional Airport (UGN), Dupage Airport in West Chicago (DPA), Chicago Executive Airport in Wheeling (PWK), and Chicago Rockford Airport in Rockford (RFD).?

In this chart, every takeoff or landing is counted separately.? For example, if a plane lands at an airport, and then takes off two hours later, it would count twice on this chart.?

One significant exception was August 2012, when GCIA served as the staging area for aircraft used in the Chicago Air and Water Show.

Adult Picky Eater Will Only Consume Three Kinds of Food

Oct 26, 2012 7:29am

Marla Lopez is 54 but eats like a toddler.

She has never eaten a piece of fruit or tried a green vegetable. For as long as she can remember, her daily diet has consisted primarily of three kinds of foods: milk (and ice cream); white breads (including crackers, tortillas and pancakes); and potatoes (including chips and French fries).

Sometimes she?ll also eat bacon.

READ MORE: Is Picky Eating a Medical Condition?

Lopez said her picky eating started as an infant. She would gag on her baby food. Foods that most people would consider mouth-watering -? an omelet or a sandwich ? are now repulsive to her. Touching spaghetti is also out of the question.

?Good Morning America? correspondent Linsey Davis went shopping with Lopez at a Fairway Market in New York City. Not much made it into the cart.

Asked whether she?d consider items in the produce aisle, Lopez said, ?When I look at this, I don?t see food.?

Her favorite food is potato chips, she said, adding that they were ?so salty, and fresh, and potato-y. I love them.?

Lopez, a mother herself, acknowledged that her preferred foods were limited but added, ?I do love what I eat and enjoy it.?

As for whether her eating habits are more a simple desire for junk food than a real disorder, Lopez said, ?I?ve heard that all my life, all my life. It?s really embarrassing.?

Nancy Zucker, the director of the Center for Eating Disorders at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C., says Lopez? is not alone.

?We don?t quite understand what adult picky eating is ? but what we do know is that there is a real biological struggle going on that?s not all in their heads,? said Zucker, who studies picky eaters.

Lopez is often compelled to hide her eating habits when she?s at parties. She?ll say she already ate, or she?ll just carry around a drink.

Despite her carb-heavy, vegetable-free diet, Lopez says she is healthy.

?My cholesterol is 174,? she said, by itself no cause for alarm. ?And I eat a bag of fries each day, and that?s my main staple.?

94% The Sessions

All Critics (69) | Top Critics (24) | Fresh (65) | Rotten (4)

The movie is so clammily sensitive and tame that it stifles any strong response.

A sentimental, feel-good romance about pity sex.

The Sessions is bracing. It's also one of the few movies to recognize that people with severe physical disabilities have sexual lives, too.

A sweet but minor fictional parable about the strange possibilities of love.

A movie like this is really built around a performance, and John Hawkes - so powerfully evil in "Winter's Bone" and "Martha Marcy May Marlene" - carries the film.

"The Sessions'' treats intimacy with an explicitness and honesty that's very rare in movies.

Neither an issue-pushing disability drama or a crude, American Polio-style sex comedy, The Sessions is sweet and winning - 'feel good' minus the fingers down the throat.

Another dynamite vehicle for John Hawkes, in which Lewin's affecting script overcomes his pedestrian direction.

Skilled direction, a talented cast and a simple but elegant story will garner a lot of sympathy from its targeted, more mature audience.

It offers a relatable depiction of the powers of a positive mental attitude and perseverance in spite of horrendously bad luck. And some Oscar-caliber acting, to boot.

An incredibly low-key and feel-good adult movie about sex that's much funnier than most people are probably expecting, highlighted by a pair of Oscar-caliber performances by its two leads.

A frank exploration of sex and disability, The Sessions compensates for a minor structural misstep with an acute ear for tone and stellar performances throughout.

The bottom line here is that yes, a movie about a physically disabled man makes for one of the sexiest date nights of the year. Unless you're allergic to over-20s.

With Ben Lewin's film The Sessions, Hawkes is given the biggest and juiciest leading role of his career, and he pulls it off with remarkable grace and humor.

Less dreary than uplifting, The Surrogate succeeds as a light romance with heavy material.

The movie methodically punts each time it comes across anything interesting.

The Sessions is a magnificent film. This tale of a profoundly disabled man's sexual awaking is not only a genuine crowd pleaser , but it also gives a cinematic voice to the marginalized.

Mature but deeply powerful look at sex and the disabled.

Award-worthy performances from John Hawkes, Helen Hunt and William H. Macy.

This warm, witty, sensuous and quite wonderful study of a disabled artist terrifically avoids any "triumph of the human spirit" sentimentality.

The core of the move -- specifically the sessions between Mark and Cheryl -- is quite good.

Bossa Nova Robotics Launches The MObi, A Bot That Rides On A Ball

If you told me yesterday that today there would be a robot that balances on a single ball and can locomote itself around the room on said ball, I'd say you were a crazy person. Well, you're not a crazy person. Bossa Nova Robotics, makers of the Penbo line of robotic toys, has just launched the mObi [sic], a robot that "is based on technology that allows the robot to balance on a ball and move seamlessly with a single point of contact on the ground, enabling natural omni-directional movement, slender design profiles and superior navigation in human environments."

What Are the Best Foods to Make vs. Buy? Good Questions | The ...

Q: I like the idea of becoming more self sufficient and saving money: growing some of my own fruits and vegetables, making my own sauces and pantry staples, etc. But which things are worth growing or making, and which are better to buy?

Sent by Stuart

Editor: Great question, Stuart! This is something that a lot of us are thinking about and working towards. Another factor to keep in mind is how much time something takes (or that you're able to commit). I find that time commitment is the downfall of many of my good intentions to make something myself.

Take a look at our Make or Buy series for some good discussions on specific dishes and pantry staples, as well as some other posts we've done on the topic:
