The 'N' Word at Diva Lounge.

The Somerville News has the story about the 'N' word being used at Diva Lounge that you guys were discussing here a few weeks back:  http://somervillenews.typepad.com/the_somerville_news/

Also ,what is the deal with a 50lb limit on garbage cans? I just bought a can with wheels on the bottom to make the chores easier and now Somerville is implementing its new garbage code with a 50lb limit. The trash guys left a sticker on my can that says it is too big and heavy for them. Can the just roll the can like I do?    Where did they get 50lbs from the airline security industry?

Somewhat barely relevent--I used to work for a shipping company and we were "not allowed" to lift up packages of more than 50 pounds by ourselves - we were required to have a second person help (in quotes because that was the official policy, but rarely the reality). The reason we were told was it affected the company's insurance rates. It's likely something similar or union related.

It might even fall under OSHA regulations.
