Here are a few highlights from the past week on AOA:
+ The Capital Region ranks 5th among New York cities for car thefts, but at least we're not Buffalo.
+ "The Rachael" made its debut. Finally, hard-working TV chefs who are always on their feet can have stylish footwear.
+ We blew out our calorie budget at Cheesecake Machismo.
+ The Ultimate Fighting Championship unleashed some killer rhetorical moves at the capitol.
+ Dr. Z gave us the scoop on how to set a giant, floating, metal tulip on fire.
+ We figured out how many times you could paper over the track at Saratoga with paper from city hall.
+ If you're neurotic, congratulations! You've found the right spot.
+ There's so much to know about tulips, including the fact that you can eat them -- which is not to say that you should.
