WARNING!!! AGGRESSIVE TICKETING IN NEIGHBORHOOD!

This sounds like the same officer who pulled me over in January near
41st and Davenport. The immediate cause was my failure to come to a
complete stop at a four-way stop sign, which I didn't dispute. Then she
insisted that I hadn't been wearing a seatbelt, although I had unbuckled
it in what I'm pretty certain was plain view after being pulled over so
that I could reach my purse in the back seat. She then accused me of
having been talking on a cellphone, which I did not even have with me in
the car. She was very aggressive and accusatory and appeared to me to
be looking for an excuse to add a few more charges. Unfortunately, I no
longer have the ticket so I can't provide her name or badge number.

need help installing new hard drive

We have purchased a new hard drive and video card for our computer.
Although my husband built it in the first place, there seems to be a
problem with installing the new components. Any good help out there?

cooling off the house - going more green

Has anyone used a solar powered attic fan (one that vents the attic space)
and has it been effective? Any experience on better brands? Consumer
Reports doesn't seem to have rated these.

Also, has anyone installed either QuietCool or AirScape whole house fans?
Or tried reflective roof coating? Our house gets very hot during our
summers and last summer we ran the AC when it was cool enough outside, but
our bedrooms were stifling. We'd like to be a bit greener and thriftier
this summer!

Thanks,

Kate
