When owner Frank White took over this Downey eatery—then called Granata's Italian Restaurant—in 2011, the Granata family had already been serving Italian cuisine there for more than 54 years, according to the Downey Patriot. Today, White still plucks recipes from the family cookbook but has also added his own touch with a new menu of hot and cold Spanish-style tapas. Made with gourmet ingredients such as fresh clams, spanish piquillo peppers, and rich serrano ham, the new plates are small enough to be shared with friends or slingshotted spitefully at enemies. The chefs also use locally sourced ingredients for classic Italian meals whenever possible, festooning linguine carbonara with fresh sweet peas and veal parmigiana with rich tomato sauce.
In the renovated dining area, blue pendant lamps light the full bar and surrounding cherry-wood tables and chairs. Flat-screen TVs share wall space with murals of the Venetian canals where Leonardo da Vinci first learned to jet ski.
When it came time for the team at Johnny Carino's to come up with some new recipes, they began rifling through their personal cooking histories. Executive chef Chris Peitersen took his first kitchen job at a barbecue joint when he was 14, so he was primed to create italian baby back ribs. By infusing brown sugar barbecue sauce with balsamic vinegar imported from Modena, he's given the marinade a more acidic bite than typical barbecue sauces. As the ribs slowly roast and char on an oak grill, he bastes on his creation before finishing the dish with a dusting of parmesan.
The ribs are one of Carino's many menu items that follow the restaurants' approach of classic Italian preparations modified by forward-thinking flavor combinations. Diners will find a Black Angus burger capped with mozzarella and fried pepperoni, or sautéed tilapia spiced with garlic and jalapeño. Other signature dishes include the 16-layer lasagna, Skilletinis that sizzle with spaghetti and a choice of meat, and tiramisu made from scratch.
The chefs at FalconesPizza can cater to any pizza palate. Depending on a customer's personal tastes, they toss crusts that are hearty and thick or as thin as the parchment from which Leonardo da Vinci placed his first take-out order. Toppings, too, range from traditional flavors, such as the pesto, garlic, tomatoes, and fresh basil that make up the Napoli, to the inventive combination atop the shrimp pizza, which pairs succulent seafood with chorizo, pepperoni, and onions. Italian meats such as mortadella and capacolla join fresh mozzarella on salads and sandwiches, and family-style trays of baked ziti or lasagna keep large groups from taking over a grocery store.
Café Corleone's cooks transport the rich culinary landscape of Sicily to the United States through mouthwatering Italian pizzas, pastas, and desserts served in a warmly lit space. Head chef Alongi dazzles taste buds with a menu of seafood, steaks, and flavorful sauces made from seasonal ingredients. Inside, pictures of old Italy pepper the walls and tables frame house-made pizzas and elegant desserts with a dressy-casual outfit of checkered tablecloth. In addition to enrapturing palates with plates of fresh Sicilian fare, Café Corleone keeps eardrums entertained with live music from Ron Nardo and Terry Anfuso, who delight audiences each Saturday night with their renditions of jazz standards, Rat Pack hits, and dubsteb remixes of The Sound of Music soundtrack.

Most tiedowns are pretty standard. In the last few years we've seen some pretty functional innovations and the Lock Straps provide another one—locking tiedowns. As the driver of a truck, not an enclosed van or trailer, I worry about the stuff in the back if I venture into a restaurant to eat or have to leave my truck and bikes unattended. We've all heard the stories of bikes being jacked out of the back of a truck, and I don't want this to happen to me. And after using Lock Straps for the better part of six months, I'm pretty sure they're a solid deterrent that will further discourage a thief from pinching your ride.Now you'll never be fully protected from the serious professionals out there because they have cutting tools and preplanned routines for stealing stuff, and it would take a small fortress to stop these guys. But since the Lock Straps have a build of eight bound steel cables sandwiched between double nylon webbing, tough rivets and dual-combination carabiner locks, one on each end that, on the bike side, has a soft-tie loop, they could help.
The working load rating is 400 pounds, and just holding them you can feel how strong they are because they're heavy, easily twice the weight of a normal tiedown. The carabiner has a three-number spiral combination lock that easily opens up when you push down on it. Now we didn't try and cut them because we didn't want to destroy them, but it would take more than a minute and more than just a knife or a bolt cutter. They are no more difficult to use than securing bikes with regular tiedowns, and it takes a step out of having to utilize an additional cable lock, like I often do. At $44.95 each, or $80.00 for a pair, since we need two to tie a bike down, they are on the pricey side for a tiedown, but what is your bike worth again?

Still too far: The contraception 'compromise'
Under the newly proposed rules, as under the original, churches are exempt. But other religiously based employers, such as church hospitals and Catholic universities, are not. These employers do not have to directly offer the mandated coverage through their own insurance. Rather, their insurer will offer a separate policy that covers only contraception, abortifacient drugs, etc. The insurers are to be reimbursed through a discount on what they pay to participate in the federal health insurance exchanges mandated by Obamacare, USA Today reported.
So these religious employers will not provide the coverage through their insurance premiums; they will fund it through their taxes (how else to subsidize the discount insurers will receive?). Also, individual employers whose businesses are not explicitly religious in nature will still have no relief. They will have to violate their faith by directly providing coverage for procedures they object to on religious grounds. Do not be surprised when this proposal does not halt the more than 40 lawsuits filed against the administration over this issue.

Local officials have confirmed 78 deaths as a result of Wednesday's storms.
Hamilton County, Bradley County and Sequatchie County officials have confirmed 19 deaths, and Dade and Catoosa County officials have recorded ten.
Bledsoe County officials also have confirmed at least four deaths. In Alabama, DeKalb County and Jackson County officials said storms killed 44 and injured more than 100.
Rhea County officials earlier presumed Bledsoe County's four fatalities as their own. There were no fatalities in Rhea County.
According to Hamilton County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Janice Atkinson, nine people died in the county during Wednesday's weather.
In Apison, authorities confirmed eight deaths, with four on Clonts Road and four on Bates Road.
Hamilton County Emergency Services director Don Allen called Wednesday's weather "the worst storm on record in Hamilton County."
Stan Clark, public information officer for Bradley County, confirmed nine deaths in Bradley county and "multiple" injured people.
Catoosa County Sheriff Phil Summers confirmed eight fatalities and said this morning that a tornado touched down about 8:30 p.m. near the Interstate 75 and Highway 151 interchange.
At times, the tornado was about one mile in width, Summers said. More than 30 people are injured, he said.
Officials said it would take "days" before downtown Ringgold is stabilized, and teams are still searching for potential victims at what's left of hotels, restaurants and gas stations near the interchange.
"Hopefully, it will be a rescue situation," Summers said.
Ringgold Middle School and Ringgold High School both sustained damage.
"They won't be going to school anytime soon," said Catoosa County Commissioner Ken Marks.
Ringgold Mayor Joe Barger has confirmed the identity of one of Wednesday's storm victims — Rhea McClanahan, 89, a former Ringgold councilman, died as his house collapsed.
Sequatchie County's lone fatality was Zack Davis, who drowned in a creek toward the south end of Dunlap, according to Chief Deputy Randall Lockhart.
The lone known Chattanooga victim is Mai Crumley, 41, who died when a tree hit her trailer home at 6136 Tall Pine Lane, police said.
Dade County Executive Ted Rumley confirmed two deaths and said the entire county — about 17,000 people — is without power. Dade County High School is the American Red Cross point of contact for anyone needing food, water and shelter.
Hamilton County Emergency Services spokeswoman Amy Maxwell confirmed that, as of midnight Thursday, 28 people had been transported via ambulances to local hospitals with serious injuries.
Emergency Services personnel went door-to-door in Apison, searching for missing and injured.
Maxwell said several people are missing in Hamilton County, but she did not have a number.
In Bradley County, authorities found the dead in open areas, trailer homes and other buildings. A curfew in the county was enforced between midnight and 6 a.m. this morning. Officials are considering a similar arrangement tonight.
Bradley County and Catoosa County officials reported several cases of looting.
Bradley County received 49 calls of people trapped in the rubble, according to a news release. At one point, the 911 call center had 178 active calls on 10 switchboards.
About 5,700 are without power in the Cleveland area, according to Cleveland Utilities General Manager Tom Wheeler. A total of about 10,000 are without power in Bradley County.
Roads closed to all traffic except emergency vehicles in Apison are the following — London Lane, Bill Jones at McGee Road, East Brainerd Road at Apison Pike and Blair Road at McDonald Road.
In the aftermath of the storm, Blood Assurance is asking for the public to donate blood.
The nonprofit hopes to get 1,200 units in the next two days, officials said. All locations are open, except for the one in Fort Payne, Ala.
After a helicopter tour of Trenton and Ringgold, Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal called the damage "truly devastating."
"Obviously nature is a powerful force, and we saw that yesterday," Deal said.
Georgia Department of Transportation crews have been mobilized, he said, and the state may use inmates to clear the roads more quickly.
The governor praised residents for paying attention to weather warnings, saying the death toll could have been much higher if not for their vigilance.
Later, U.S. Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., and Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam toured the storm's path.
DeKalb County, Ala., officials will impose curfew from 9 p.m. until 5 a.m. beginning today and continuing "until further notice," according to a news release.
Staff writers Randall Higgins, Andy Johns and Mariann Martin contributed to this report.

Went over the top 20 for 2012 fantasy baseball and top 10 for 2012 fantasy baseball. Now, friends, it's time for the top 20 catchers for 2012 fantasy baseball. In the past, the top 20 catchers were the glass of warm milk right before you went to sleep. "Hey, I just drafted A.J.
Please, blog, may I have some more?2012 Fantasy Baseball Rankings
What time is it?! 8:25 AM! No, random italicized voice, it's time for the 2012 Fantasy Baseball Rankings. Second guess. All the 2012 fantasy baseball rankings will live in that link. The one that reads 2012 fantasy baseball rankings. It's also at the top of the page. No, not "Home." To the left of the Fantasy Baseball Forum link. Now we're cooking with gas! If you're a completist, follow us on Twitter or Facebook. I don't go to either site longer than 2 minutes a month, but, as I've told ex-girlfriends, sometimes all you need is two minutes. Hmm… Maybe that's why they're ex. Nah, if I were a selfish lover, I wouldn't have a mustache. Now my expositional half insists I breakdown some generalizations about these 2012 fantasy baseball rankings. The 2012 fantasy baseball rankings will be an ever-evolving mass like the blob. This fantasy baseball top 10 for 2012 list is as of right now and could potentially change with a big injury or Miguel Cabrera breaking a tooth on his maple bat as he tries to extract hops. So while it is the 2012 fantasy baseball gospel, take it with a tablet of salt. Tomorrow we will cover the rest of the top twenty for 2012 fantasy baseball then we will go around the horn with a top 20 list for every position. Then for pitchers and outfielders, I'll turn the dial to 80. Listed next to each player are my 2012 projections. Did I consult with whoever else does projections? It would be ignorant not to, but in the end they are my projections. Players need 10 games at a position to get included in the positional rankings. Finally, as with each list in the 2012 fantasy baseball rankings, I will be mentioning where I see tiers start and stop. I look at tiers like this, if Miguel Cabrera and Albert Pujols are in the same tier, it doesn't matter if one guy is ranked 2nd and one guy is ranked 3rd, they're both very close.
Please, blog, may I have some more?On Dancer! On Prancer! On Comet! On–Oh, I didn't hear you come in. Welcome, reader! Grab some egg nog and brandy it up to the fire. The 2012 fantasy baseball rankings are not far away. Right now, January Grey is throwing darts at a board to figure out where to place Matt Joyce. Exciting! In the meantime, let's look at the players who have multiple position eligibility for this upcoming 2012 fantasy baseball season. This took me far longer than it probably should've. Can't someone write me a program that sorts all the players by games played at a position?
Please, blog, may I have some more?

Sequels or the next iteration of games in a series are generally assumed that they will be superior to their counterparts in one way or another be it the gameplay and narrative or visuals and performance. The most recent and surprising game to break the trend is none other than Total War: Rome II from developer Creative Assembly and publisher Sega. Those expecting a game that can be called superior to the original Rome title or even to Creative Assembly's previous release of Shogun 2 should brace themselves as it stumbles in a few spots along the way.
Total War: Rome II follows the formula of other games in the series by allowing players to select a faction in which to begin their gradual campaign of land and settlement domination, either through means of diplomacy or combat. After a brief tutorial controlling the Roman Republic through both land and sea battles, players can either select from solo or online campaign game modes in addition to historical battle scenarios. From the powerful Roman Republic to the Celtic warrior tribe of Iceni, the game offers players a wide selection of playable factions set during the classical era around 272BC and continuing forward for 300 years. The expansive campaign map spans from Bactria (known today as Afghanistan) to Lusitania (known today as Portugal) and totaling over 170 regions.
The gameplay switches between two primary modes: campaign map management and real-time land and sea battles. In the campaign map, players manage both the expansion of their faction and army for capturing or defending regions. There is an continual balance that must be managed between the expansion of one's army and the resources required for keeping it afloat, such as food supply and happy citizens in the settlements. Players also decide which fields of research should have priorities over others, which deviates between diplomatic and military approaches to victory. The campaign map functions through a turn-based system that results in many unexpected encounters based upon the movement of opposing faction armies. As with other turn-based games, many hours can become lost to the addictive behavior of playing just one more turn.
While not managing settlements and the supply of food for settlements, players find themselves in the battle mode that has defined the identity of the Total War series. In the battle mode, players are given control of massive armies that range from a wide variety of unit types based upon the particular faction from spear-wielding soldiers to horse-mounted riders. The battle mode is activated when opposing armies meet on the campaign map as well as both besieging and defending settlements. Each battle begins with players deploying the position of their troops and then marching into the chaotic fray of massive battle encounters. Players that wish to focus more on the management of their faction through the campaign map can always select the option to auto-resolve battles based upon the estimation of various factors.
Now while the game technically contains all of the necessary and enjoyable elements of a Total War series game, it's in the actual execution of primary gameplay features that result in some unfortunate and unavoidable issues. The game's biggest offender is found in the basic element of ending a turn on the campaign map. As with other turn-based games, ending turns are a frequent and continually repeating occurrence. Even with the option toggled that disables showing AI moves on the campaign map, the transition between turns is a slow, tedious, and immersion-breaking process. Even after an array of post-release patches, the process of ending a turn hasn't been improved and is unavoidable if players want to actually play the game. With an impressive list of over 100 AI-controlled factions battling for control of the campaign map, the game simply can't avoid becoming a slideshow during the end of turns.
The other gameplay issue involves how AI units react during the battle mode. Even after issuing specific orders, there are occurrences in which either the AI units simply don't react smartly to orders or bunch together in odd formations. One particular occurrence had an entire unit of troops stuck on a boat that was sitting perfectly onshore. The opposing army AI also sometimes displays odd behavior that either involved not moving in place or odd placement during besieging of settlements.
Rome II follows in the tradition of past Total War series games by containing some of the most impressive visuals seen in PC gaming. From the near-endless amount of soldiers on screen to the dynamic campaign map, the game is a major achievement for PC graphics. With the impressive graphics comes a few, but major caveats for those wishing to see the game in its fully glory. Even after multiple patch releases, the game is far from being optimized as with powerful hardware the game often struggles during intense encounters on the battlefield as well as at the end of campaign map turns. Fortunately, the game provides an in-depth array of graphics options for players to tweak every setting ranging from anti-aliasing to depth of field.
On the element of sound, the game follows alongside the visuals with spectacular effects and an original score that perfectly accompanies both the campaign map and battle modes. The sound effects in particular during battles provide an intense atmosphere as soldiers scream and war horns ring loud in the distance. Rome II is a resounding success on both visual and auditory fronts, which is unfortunately brought down from poor optimization.
What could have been one of this year's best turn-based strategy games stumbles in a few, but important areas in particular with the problematic end of turn transition. Yet, the actual gameplay with managing settlements on the campaign map and ordering units on massive battlefields are addictive and highly-enjoyable when not experiencing any of the mentioned issues. Total War: Rome II offers a wealth of content that both newcomers and series veterans are sure to enjoy if they can overlook a few stumbles along the way. While not the best game in the Total War series, Rome II is still undoubtedly a solid entry in the franchise.

Make those nicks and scratches in your furniture go away with just a few minutes' work. We'll show you the tricks and techniques that make problems disappear, no matter how old or new they are, without damaging the wood. The fixes are fast, easy and don't cost a lot of money. So stop dealing with those eyesores and let's get to work.
By the DIY experts of The Family Handyman Magazine
Most fixes take a matter of minutes.
Scrubbing, rubbing and spraying is all it takes.
The products you need for repairs usually cost less than $10 each.
Hide scratches with permanent-ink felt-tip markers. You can either use the furniture touch-up markers available at hardware stores and home centers, or, to get an exact match, buy markers at an art supply store that carries an array of colors (check the Yellow Pages). For thorough coverage, you may need to dab the ink onto the scratch, let it dry, then even out the color by stroking lightly across it with the tip. Keep in mind that colors tend to darken when they soak into wood fibers.
Is your furniture looking a little shabby with all those little scratches and dings? You know, the vacuum cleaner bumps here and there, and the Hot Wheels hit-and-runs? Not to worry. We'll show you simple touch-up techniques that will make these minor eyesores disappear quickly and painlessly.
We're not talking about refinishing or even repairing here, which are different games altogether. This is about hiding flaws so only you will know they're there.
The procedures and materials shown in this article won't damage the original finish on your furniture if it was made in the last 50 years.
However, if the piece of furniture you're touching up is very old, or an antique, it may have a shellac finish. With shellac, you shouldn't attempt the scratch removal process. And if the piece is an antique, think twice about doing any touch-up, which could actually devalue it.
You can test for a shellac finish with a few drops of alcohol in an out-of-sight spot. Alcohol will dissolve shellac.
Think safety: Even though all the fluids and sprays we show here are everyday hardware-store products, most are both flammable and toxic. Read and follow the directions on the label. Don't use them in a room where there's a pilot light, or near open flames or in an unventilated space. If you'll be doing anything more than a few quick passes with the sprays shown here, work outdoors and wear a respirator mask with organic cartridges. And if you're pregnant, stay away from these materials altogether.
Soak a coarse, absorbent, clean cloth with mineral spirits and wipe the finish. Keep applying and wiping until the cloth no longer picks up dirt. Then do a final wipe with a fresh, clean rag.
Clean crevices, grooves and carved areas with cotton swabs dipped in mineral spirits.
The results of a simple surface cleaning with mineral spirits may amaze you. Polish buildup and the dirt embedded in it muddy the finish but will wipe away. Don't use stronger solvents; they might dissolve the finish itself.
Buy several sticks of putty similar to the color of the stain you want to match. Scrape flakes from each, then mix and knead them with your fingertips until the color is right. The heat from your fingers also softens the putty for easy application. Make the patch slightly darker than the furniture; lighter will be more obvious.
Press putty tightly into the gouge with a small flat stick, then flatten it and scrape away the excess with the stick's long edge. Round the end of the stick with sandpaper.
Wipe away any putty adhering to the wood around the gouge, and smooth the surface of the putty with a clean cloth. A thin, light-colored line will usually appear around the perimeter of the patch. Use a matching marker to color this line.
Fill in gouges with colored putty sticks, sold at most hardware stores and home centers. This putty works well for small holes and nicks but is somewhat trickier to use as a fill for larger damage like we show here. Unlike hardening putties, it remains soft and somewhat flexible, so you have to shape it carefully. And it won't hold up under heavy wear.
Use Danish Oil Finish to recoat wood furniture
Wipe away all the Danish oil with rags or paper towels, then thoroughly clean the entire surface with mineral spirits several times to make sure all the oil is removed. If any oil remains, the lacquer (Photo 3) won't adhere. Allow the surface to dry overnight before applying lacquer.
You can buff out fine scratches using very fine (0000) steel wool saturated with clear Danish oil. (You can also use ultra-fine automotive rubbing compound.) The process shown here only works for scratches in the finish itself, not scratches that are all the way into the stain or the wood.
Rags and steel wool saturated with danish oil can spontaneously combust if left bunched up. Dry them outdoors, spread out loosely, when the oil has dried, you can safely throw the rags and steel wool in the trash.
Have the necessary tools for this DIY project lined up before you start—you'll save time and frustration.
Avoid last-minute shopping trips by having all your materials ready ahead of time. Here's a list.

Thanks for all of your help1 I just got some wood furniture in Boston and already there are some dings on it that I want to fix. I bet it happened when it was being carried through the door because they are brand new. Oh well, hope this helps!
October 20, 10:32 PM [GMT -5]
The methods discussed in the repair is a reasonable way to do a temp fix, but to do a fix that will last for ever you really need to use lacqure sticks and blending powder. This is not something anyone can do, you do need to learn the process. Try to find someone that does spot finishing/repair work for furniture. I do some of this and can make nicks, dents, burns, water rings and much look as though they never happened.
October 20, 9:07 PM [GMT -5]
I need advice on how to remove wax from my family's china buffet. A red candle was set directly on the wood and the red soaked into the wood. Will any of these techniques work on this problem?
October 18, 7:37 PM [GMT -5]
I have also had luck in the past by putting a cup of water upside down over a gouge in the top of a piece of furniture. The water in some cases will cause the wood underneath to swell up and fill the gouge. Then you can finish the former gouge to match. Try this at your own risk!

Drew Brees: ''We started fast, and finished strong''
by Kristian Garic
posted Sep 23 2013 9:49AM
Following the Saints' victory over a very good Cardinals team, I caught up with Drew Brees for our weekly "Monday Morning Quarterback feature, which you can hear every Monday morning at 7:45 on First News with Tommy Tucker.
Drew, you were able to finish this like you want, in victory formation.
It's just a great team effort all the way around. Defense played phenomenal, on offense, we sputtered at times, midway through. But we started fast, and finished strong, and that's what it's all about.
Talk a little about Jimmy Graham's outstanding game.
He played great today. There were some favorable matchups, he made some great plays. They played us in a way they were going to single up a lot of guys, and get pressure on the quarterback, and we had to get it out faster than we wanted to. Once we settled in, we started to take advantage of some of those matchups, and get to some of those guys in space. You make one guy miss, and you've got the opportunity for the big play. I think we were able to exploit that.
Was it neat connecting with Robert Meachem in the end zone again?
Absolutely! We talked about it, great to get him back involved. I know he's excited to be back, to be a part of this offense, and we can really utilize his strengths. There's a lot of familiarity there, there's a lot of time on task. It's as if no time has passed, really. So, we just look forward to incorporating him even more.
What was Arizona doing early that gave you trouble?
The looks they were giving us early on were stacking the box, they were going to have an extra guy at times…there were times when we were running into tough looks, but we were trying to get the tough yards. They did a good job, they got some pressure on me, so I think that's why we were negative rushing yards in the first half. But when you finish with over a hundred yards, it means you did your job in the second half.
You ran for one TD and threw for three, are we going to see the zone-read option coming any time soon?
Not so fast. (laughs) You know, there's time on third down, and certain situations, where when the QB runs, they're not accounting for you. If you can steal one or two of those per game, it's all good. It sustains drives, and it's tough on a defense when you're able to add that element.
Tell us about what it's like for your offense when you have Rob Ryan's defense out doing what they've been doing.
They're playing exceptionally well. I know they're thinking, "hey, how do we continue to improve upon what we've done so far?" I think we've got a lot of prideful guys on that side of the ball that love this scheme, they love what Rob Ryan's bringing to the table…they were able to do some kind of different things, based upon the personnel we have. Offensively, it's fun for us to watch, but we also feed off that, from a momentum standpoint. We want to take those opportunities and convert them into points.

Offense started fast?
Ummm Drew, yall didn't start fast. The O-line didn't protect and didn't run block for the running backs. -6 yards of running in the first half is fast to you? But congrats on starting 3-0 and improving on consistency and your nerves from week 1 to week 2 to week 3.

Google Seach Found Me on Naymz.com
Posted by: Suzanne Wheeler
search engines
I love a good mystery, but not the kind I have to pay for to solve. Naymz.com is a social networking site for professionals who want to put their good name to use. It offers a free 30-day trial to the URL of your domain name like your.name.name. I didn't even know .name was a new domain! So the catch is my profile was viewed twice today. The link was this Google search for which I can purchase the visitor date,IP address, city, state & country, and name (if available).
Okay, I admit it, I'm curious. I sign up for a free month of extras. So who looked me up? No names, but two IPs from the town I work in. Oh, well. So the results weren't that exciting. Maybe I'll get a new blog subscriber out of it. Or more likely, life will continue as before. Now I just have to find that unsubscribe button so I don't have to pay!

My Twitter followers will recall that several weeks ago, I started tweeting with the hashtag
#StainlessSteelHeadThwack2011, to chronicle the aftermath of being bonked in the forehead when a stainless steel water bottle (full of water, but with a protective and cushioning neoprene cover, thankfully) fell off of the shelf over my bed.
Because I started having some symptoms after that — pain, swelling and most worryingly, massive drainage from my sinuses and a nosebleed — a few days after the thwack itself, I took myself to an emergency room in worry that I'd done damage to my sinus frontalis. The pain wasn't the worst I've experienced, but living with chronic pain, my threshold of and tolerance to pain are both high, and I'd been taking painkillers, anyway. In any case, if I'd fractured a sinus, I was going to need medical care, and the best way to get that, being uninsured, was to go via the ER.
It depresses me that I know these things.
Anyway, I went in. I waited for about five minutes after signing in, went through a very quick triage, was given multiple bracelets (allergy warnings, I also got a bright orange warning sheet on top of my chart) and sent back to the treatment area. I wasn't even given a gown, just told to sit and wait, and offered a blanket if I was chilly. (It's always cold in ERs. I don't know why.) A physician assistant came in, pressed her thumbs into my forehead so hard that I saw stars, asked a bunch of questions, made me follow her fingers with just my eyes like a sobriety test (or am I thinking of something else?) and said that she didn't think I fractured anything, because that frontal bone is really thick, and if it was fractured, I wouldn't have been able to withstand her pressing against it. But she said she'd go talk to the doctor. She was with me for about four minutes — I know because I was tweeting when she came in and tweeted when she left.
I waited, and the doctor came in. He did all the same things the PA did, but when he pressed on my forehead, he pressed in different places, and much harder. He also looked up my nose with penlight. (I hope it wasn't all crusty in there.) He said that he didn't want to put me through the time, cost and radiation of x-rays or a CT because he thought it was just a coincidence, that the thwack maybe loosened up some sinus congestion and the drainage was actually a good thing. He gave me a list of symptoms that should bring me back, and a prescription for a decongestant to speed up the drainage so that it wouldn't be such an irritant, and sent me on my way. He was there for 6 minutes, tops. (Again, by timing of my tweets.)
I got a bill for the doctor's services a couple of weeks ago. $263.
Today, I got the bill for the ER services. $746.
That means that the doctor's time bills out at $2,643 an hour, or $44.05 a minute. I'm trying to figure out what I got for that hospital bill. Blood pressure, pulse, and temperature, a sheet (I presume that they stripped the bed I sat on, but maybe not) and a chart. Neither the PA nor the doctor wore gloves, and there was no medical equipment actually used for me at all.
Even if we assume the PA bills out at half of the doctor's rate, at $22 a minute, there's apparently hell of a lot of overhead that has to be covered by nine minutes of treatment.
I should've waited a couple of days and gone to see my regular physician. It would've cost me $50 for the exact same diagnostic and result, and he would've checked in on my overall health in the process, including this pesky shoulder injury that just won't heal. But it was a Saturday morning, and I was hurting and nervous and gunk was pouring down my throat. I needed reassurance.
Reassurance is going to cost me $959 more dollars than I really had. All my plans for fun and frivolity for the next six months — at least the ones that would've been on my dime — are out the window.
And people wonder why I'm an advocate for a robust public health system. Yes, socialized medicine. Single payer. You know, like Medicare. For everyone.
Because there is no ethical, moral or reasonable argument why 10 minutes of healthcare, delivered without supplies or equipment, should cost more than a mortgage payment.


text: WATERVILLE, Maine --- Shane Rogers (Newburgh, N.Y.) had the best game of his young Colby College basketball career, but fourth-ranked Amherst College stayed unbeaten in league play with an 82-64 win over the Mules on Saturday. Rogers finished with 17 points, six assists, and four rebounds off the bench for Colby. He shot 6-for-11 from the field and was 3-for-5 from 3-point range. David Waller (Tampa, Fla.) and Aaron Toomey (Greensboro, N.C.) both went 4-for-5 from 3-point range for the Lord Jeffs. Amherst moves to 15-2 overall and 5-0 in New England Small College Athletic Conference play, while the Mules fall to 5-11 and 1-4 in the league. Related Links: |

Dr. Jefferson Bass Interview of Lisa Black
Dr. Jefferson Bass Interview of Lisa Black
Jefferson Bass: Have you ever worked a real-world case that was so utterly bizarre, it prompted you to think, "If I wrote this into a novel, readers would say 'Oh, give me a break— that could NEVER happen in real life!'?"
Lisa Black: Once I found a brain in the backseat. The victim had been shot, the body snatchers collected the body, a Cleveland fingerprint analyst was processing the car and all of a sudden he says, hey, do you want this brain? Excuse me, brain? Apparently the gunshot had cleaved off the top of this guy's head and it landed in the back seat. It sounds really gross but actually it wasn't, it just sat there looking all pink and convoluted and really quite neat.
Jefferson Bass: Do you watch any of the forensic series on television? Which do you like best, and why?
Lisa Black: I don't watch any of them regularly. I used to like "City Confidential" a lot, and I like "Murder by the Book" though those aren't forensic oriented. I got really hooked on CSI Miami when Rory Cochrane was on it. People are really either-or about that one, they either love it or they hate it. I guess I like NCIS the best. Abby is the single most unrealistic forensic scientist on TV—but who cares, she's so much fun.
Jefferson Bass: What sorts of thing do you tend to find least believable (or most annoying) in crime novels or crime dramas?
Lisa Black: Cops insisting that someone is the killer despite evidence to the contrary, because they want to close the case. Unless you're completely brain-dead, you know that will come back to bite you, plus if it's not the right person in jail the murders are simply going to continue and then you'll look even more stupid, and since you live in this town too, your stats aren't going to make you any more comfortable knowing that the real killer is still out there walking around with your loved ones.
I had a little old lady ask if detectives pressure me to say a fingerprint matches someone when I don't think it does. No! Never. Because they know I won't change my mind, because they have no power over me—they're not in my chain of command and I'm not in theirs—and because it wouldn't help them in the long run. I have to tell detectives that the prints don't match about once a day. Their reaction? "Oh, well. It was worth a try."
Also I don't always believe the maladjusted weirdo coroner and ME office staff. We're all very normal and empathetic, I assure you. We're actually more sympathetic than cops because we don't have to interrogate you or arrest you. So we can listen to your protestations of innocence with genuine sympathy, because it's not our job to call you on it. We have families and lives and interests outside dead bodies. We don't like bad smells and gore any more than the next person—we've just gotten used to it, that's all.
Jefferson Bass: Have you noticed any differences—any consistent patterns of contrast—between crimes (or crime scenes) in Cleveland, where you originally worked as an investigator, and those in Florida? How do you account for the differences?
Lisa Black: It's difficult for me to say because in Cleveland I worked in a coroner's office, and in Florida I actually work in the police department. So in Florida I am a lot closer to the investigation, but in Cleveland I could do a lot more with the evidence since I had more facilities and equipment. And so much has changed in the awareness of forensic science in the past ten to twenty years, and that also makes it hard to compare. That said, I think the work is the same everywhere. I pick up stuff and try to link it to the killer, and the cops talk to people and try to figure out who's lying.
Jefferson Bass: Does a trace-evidence analyst or latent-print examiner face different challenges in the tropics than in the Midwest? Obviously bodies decay faster in Florida—especially if alligators help them along!—but does the Florida heat affect other evidence (or evidence gathering) significantly?
Lisa Black: The heat and humidity will destroy fingerprints much faster than a more temperate climate will. A lot of victims don't have good air conditioning or none at all. Sand is ubiquitous, and doesn't allow for a lot of geological analysis. The summer rains can mean you're working against the clock if you have an outdoor scene.
Jefferson Bass: What's the single most surprising piece of trace evidence you've collected at a crime scene and managed to link to a suspect?
Lisa Black: Well, about the most high-profile case I ever worked on, I found bright red dyed rabbit hair, but I never could connect it to anyone.
Another time we had a prostitute who was strangled and then run over by a car, and in the dirt on her clothes I found these tiny spheres of metal. They brought me the dirt from the treads of the suspect's tires, and that dirt had the same metal spheres. I think they were the overspray from some metalworking process.
Then there was the guy who was caught with the victim's credit card in his pocket. Sometimes they make it easy.
Jefferson Bass: If you could rewrite the ending of one real-life case you've worked on, what case would it be, and how would you change the ending?
Lisa Black: In Cleveland we had a 16-year-old boy and his 6-year-old brother shot in their home in the middle of the day. If I could change things, I would have found some evidence to convict the 17-year-old we tried for the crime. But there was nothing.
Jefferson Bass: Knowing what you know as a forensic scientist, what's the single most important piece of advice you'd give to other writers?
Lisa Black: Attend your local citizen's academy, visit a crime lab, shadow cops and forensic techs if you can. Do everything you can to see this stuff for yourself.
Jefferson Bass: And knowing what you know as a writer, what's the single most important piece of advice you'd give to other forensic scientists?
Lisa Black: Don't tell a writer anything unless you want to see it turn up in a novel.
Jefferson Bass: Aside from Theresa MacLean, who's your favorite fictional crime-fighter, and why?
Lisa Black: Sherlock Holmes. He's so observant, how could anyone really be that observant?
Jefferson Bass: Who would you cast as Theresa MacLean in a TV series or feature film, and why?
Lisa Black: Julianne Moore. She's beautiful, intelligent, sensible, and has long red hair.

I agree. A pass rusher is a freakish need for this team. Although it would help if I knew what kind of defense Rex is running, a 3-4 or 4-3 (or both?).
Team needs O Lineman, but all the guards went in round 1. Odd thought, when was the last time there was a run on offensive guards in the first round?

A toddler was found wandering the streets of Cynthiana, KY after police said her father left her and her sister home alone.
Neighbor Judy Fryman described what she saw Wednesday morning, "My friend saw the little girl across the street. She was crying with no shoes, no socks, she was cold so she took the girl inside and called the law."
Police said Timothy Bound returned shortly after they arrived at his Cynthiana home and found another young child sleeping inside.
They said he left his 2-year-old and 3-year-old daughters in the Harrison County house in conditions they described as 'deplorable'.
Bound is charged with wanton endangerment. His daughters were placed with child protective services.
Police said the child's mother is not in the picture.

Re: HTC Inspire 4G Unlock Problems
I am having this same issue. I got my unlock code proceeded to turn phone off/on as direction specified, when I turned the phone on it gave me a message no SIM card. When I installed the SIM card, there was no prompt to input SIM code. The phone works fine when I installed the new Straight talk SIM card, but I can't use the internet unless I am within WiFi distance....this is very frustrating. I tried updating just the APN settings, but it will not let me as the old settings are there, I don't know how to delete them and as far as I can tell it will not allow me to delete them - because the phone is locked? Can someone please help me!! I searched the forum and this was the only thread that I found similar to mine and no answer was given. I have since reset the phone to Factory settings, but still nothing, the old network setting are there and I need those out. Thanks!!

Re: HTC Inspire 4G Unlock Problems
Yes, on this forum. I now think that the phone is unlocked...I don't know how, because I never got the opportunity to put the unlock code in, but the unlock screen does not appear and when I go to security there is a feature to "lock sim" rather than open it . I also think I am able to go online, but my phone is so slow now I just don't know what's going on. I get the "X" next to the signal bars and when it does changes to H+ or E I only get 1 bar and it just doesn't stay connected for long anymore. Really bummed about this. Any suggestions?
Re: HTC Inspire 4G Unlock Problems
Maybe you flashed bad antennas.
Or, if you didn't mod it, take it to your carrier (AT&T for Inspire 4G, Other carrier for Desire HD) and see if they can unlock it for you. I know T-Mobile does it for free I believe, when I accidentally locked myself out of my SIM, I took it to them, and they unlocked it and gave me the code, which turned out to be "5678" to unlock the SIM's PIN.
Sorry for rambling, just try new antennas or see if you can relock and unlock the phone with the code still.
Warning: I'm not held liable if your phone doesn't unlock with the code.

Roland S. Martin is so on point here, it makes the Roland Burris naysayers look dumber by the minute:
It is total hypocrisy for the naysayers of embattled Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich to assert that he didn't have the legal right to appoint Roland Burris to fill the U.S. Senate seat vacated by President-elect Barack Obama.Rod Blagojevich has exposed the Democrat leadership for its sheer and utter incompetency. Roland Burris will rightfully gets seated in the Senate as Blago's shrewdness has exposed Harry Reid for the clown that he is because as Sen. Dianne Feinstein pointed out, he has no legal leg to stand on here. Ha!According to the Illinois Constitution, the governor of the state has the sole responsibility for appointing the replacement. Did Blagojevich resign, or has he been impeached? Nope. If you call Springfield, Illinois, and ask for the governor's office, they'll tell you that Blagojevich's name is still on the door.
It seems a lot of folks are excited and happy that Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White took a stand by refusing to sign the paperwork certifying Burris as the Senate appointee.
Yet what these same folks somehow refuse to recognize is that Blagojevich isn't some guy sitting around in his office, twiddling his fingers, flipping through the cable channels with a remote and waiting to get impeached. He is still carrying out his duties as governor.
Did you know that since his arrest in December, Blagojevich has pardoned 22 people? I haven't heard a huge outcry over this tainted governor setting folks free.
Did you know that Blagojevich continues to sign bills that were passed by the General Assembly? U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald cited a pending bill on the governor's desk related to horse racing as a reason for arresting him, but Blagojevich can still sign any bill he so chooses.
Did you know that two days ago, Blagojevich, as determined by state law, set March 3 as the primary and April 7 as the general election to fill the congressional seat of Rahm Emanuel, who resigned after agreeing to become Obama's chief of staff? By the way, guess who signed the certification of that election? Jesse White.
The law says the governor can set a special election to fill a congressional seat, so doesn't the same law state that he can fill a Senate seat?
Yes, Blagojevich's appointment of a U.S. Senate seat is easily seen as being tainted because of what has been described by federal law enforcement officials in their criminal complaint against him. But the reality is that Blagojevich hasn't been indicted, convicted or impeached. And whether we like it or not, no matter how smelly it looks, he still maintains the absolute right to do the job he was elected to do.

Under the Radar - Mixed Leagues
Friday August 12th, 2011
Brandon McCarthy has been a second-half dynamo. (Icon SMI)
With all of the unpredictable injuries, slumps, and job changes, many fantasy owners are looking to the waiver wire for help in keeping their season hopes alive. Here are some mixed league options for owners looking to make additions at this point in the season.
*Owned percentages via Yahoo!
Jason Kipnis - 2B, Cleveland Indians (31% owned)
At Baseball Press, we certainly hope that our readers take some time to peruse all of our posted articles because, if you have, then you are already well aware of our analysis of Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis. Kipnis was featured in the AL/NL Only Under the Radar piece on July 21st and in a Prospect Press feature on July 23rd, and he's continued his hot hitting since then. His 5 for 5 performance on Wednesday against Detroit, which included his sixth home run in just 16 games, has cemented him as a must-own fantasy player in any league format.
Ivan Nova - SP, New York Yankees (30% owned)
With seven straight wins (in just eight starts) Yankees hurler Ivan Nova has catapulted himself into fantasy baseball relevance. His 11-4 record this year has come, of course, at due to some help from the potent Yankees offense, but wins are still a fantasy category and when a player keeps piling them up, fantasy owners need to take notice. His 3.85 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, and 5.4 strikeouts-per-nine-innings (K/9) rate are far from ideal fantasy lines, but Nova has a 3.09 ERA since June 1st and appears to be mostly improving as the season rolls on. He's not flashy, but fantasy teams who stream pitchers or need a solid source of wins at the back end of a fantasy rotation could do much worse than New York's 24 year-old righty.
Chris Iannetta - C, Colorado Rockies (27% owned)
After an impressive month of May, Rockies catcher Chris Iannetta earned a spot in our June 3rd Under the Radar - Mixed Leagues piece, then hit just .176 in June (though he did smack three home runs that month). But in 19 games since the All-Star break, Iannetta is hitting .328 with two home runs, nine RBI, and 12 walks. Despite his .240 batting average, Iannetta is set for his best season since 2008, due mostly to his solid home run numbers and outstanding plate discipline (his 62 walks this year is already a career-high). His low batting average certainly doesn't help fantasy teams, but with 12 homers, 41 RBI, and a .385 on-base percentage in 2011, it's amazing that Iannetta is still available in so many fantasy leagues, particularly at a position with few offensive stars and many injuries this year.
Brandon McCarthy - SP, Oakland Athletics (24% owned)
We featured Oakland starting pitcher Brandon McCarthy in an AL/NL Under the Radar article back in April, but a string of impressive outings have made the 28 year-old righthander worthy of serious fantasy attention in mixed leagues too. McCarthy had a decent first half this season while posting a 3.54 ERA and 1.21 WHIP in 11 starts, but his 1-5 win-loss record and just 46 strikeouts in 76 1/3 innings made him a so-so fantasy piece, particularly with so many starting pitchers performing better this year. But in five starts since the break, McCarthy has seemingly turned a corner, as evidenced by his 4-0 record, 2.78 ERA and 1.08 WHIP. Most impressive, though, are his strikeout totals. His first half mark of 5.4 K/9 didn't earn much acclaim, but with 28 strikeouts in 32 1/3 innings (8.0 K/9) since then, he looks more like a viable mixed league option, especially now that his season ERA has sunk to 3.31. His Friday outing against the Rangers will be an excellent test of these second half trends, but if McCarthy can notch another solid outing, he may cement himself as a desirable fantasy starter.
Luke Gregerson - RP, San Diego Padres (20% owned)
Padres righthander Luke Gregerson is currently in his third season of solid big league relief pitching and, after the departure of setup man Mike Adams, he has assumed a bigger role in the San Diego bullpen. Heath Bell remains the club's closer, but if he is dealt via waivers (as some expect), Gregerson would likely be the primary option to finish out games. It's possible Chad Qualls would be in the closer mix too, but Gregerson has a more consistent record of success and, at the age of 27, could be looked to as a possible endgame hurler for years to come. Beyond just a speculative play as a closer, Gregerson is a solid play at several fantasy pitching categories, even though his 6.6 K/9 rate this season is well off of the 10.7 career mark he had in 2008 and 2009.
Jose Constanza - OF, Atlanta Braves (3% owned)
Despite a possible playing time crunch with Martin Prado, Michael Bourn, and Jason Heyward, Braves outfielder Jose Constanza has won well-deserved fantasy praise lately and, due to his impressive play, has made a surprising leap into mixed league relevance. Constanza will be 28 years old next month and, after a long stint in the Cleveland Indians farm system, had left most of his prospect status behind him, but big league performance speaks volumes, and in his first 12 major league games Constanza has seven multi-hit games and a .413 batting average with a home run and three stolen bases. The average will obviously level off and he lacks any real home run power, but Constanza has a long minor league history as a prolific basestealer (he had 23 stolen bases in 86 games prior to his call-up and has averaged 33 stolen bases per season on the farm) and could be a valuable fantasy contributor in a couple of categories, assuming he can keep getting playing time.
Johnny Giavotella - 2B, Kansas City Royals (3% owned)
While teammates Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas have gathered most of the hype this season, Royals rookie second baseman Johnny Giavotella has made a very good impression since his major league debut on August 6th. The 24 year-old Louisiana native entered 2011 as Kansas City's 18th best prospect (according to Baseball America) and was noted for his impressive offensive skills after a .322 average with a .395 on-base percentage and nine home runs for Double-A Northwest Arkansas in 2010. However, Giavotella's questionable defensive skills needed polish and, to some, signaled an eventual move to an outfield spot. Now, though, Giavotella looks like a solid major league regular with passable second baseman skills, and he could be a mainstay in the Royals lineup for years to come. He won't pile up home runs or stolen bases, but a good batting average and moderate contributions in all fantasy categories make him worth consideration for fantasy owners seeking middle infield help.
Lucas Duda - 1B/OF, New York Mets (3% owned)
Young 25 year-old Lucas Duda, due to injury and trade, has become a very valuable part of the New York Mets hitting attack this season and worked his way into fantasy relevance, as proven by his profile in our July 28th AL/NL Only Under the Radar article. Now, though, he's pushed his way into mixed league relevance. Mets first baseman Ike Davis has been out of action since May 10th and will miss the remainder of the season, and Duda has seen most of his playing time filling in there and in right field for traded slugger Carlos Beltran. Duda was the Mets' minor league player of the year last season and has hit well since his call-up, though he lacks ideal power numbers for a first baseman. Still, he doesn't strike out a lot and could be good for a .280-plus average and 15 to 20 home runs over a full season of big league play. Fantasy owners in need of above-average offensive numbers and help at first base and/or an outfield spot should certainly find a roster spot for Duda.

I'd be happy if anyone could help me get the point of this expression.
'...I'd better be getting on myelf...people may be wondering where I am!...'
(I'd better go and do what I was supposed to do?!)
Context is important. Please provide enough for us to be able to deal effectively with your question.
Your thread title should include all or part of the word/phrase being discussed.
If you just want to know the meaning of a word, try OneLook Dictionary Search first.
Perhaps it's worth pointing out that this expression doesn't normally stand alone, it's usually a response to someone else saying something like, "Well, I have to head off home now", or "I must get back to work". The person being spoken to might then reply, "Yes, I'd better be getting on myself", meaning "I too should be moving along".
not a teacher
And quite interestingly the point you've made is relevant. In the room two of the people leave saying they have to join the rest outside, and the guy, feeling awkward when he saw himself alone with the girl in the same room, used that sentence.
Thanks a lot for the help.
(And, I have to add that, to my ignorance I hadn't realised this was a relevant context or I would've given that as well. So, I do apologise for that part!)
