Chicagoans visiting: Grubstake (for the Portuguese) and Iluna Basque?
I've done my searches and read the threads; there isn't much. I'm interested in Grubstake because of its admittedly quite small Portuguese "menu." We haven't had a bona-fide Portuguese place in Chicago for some number of years, so anything is better than nothing (or is it?) and Iluna for its Basque (again, nothing in Chicago). The general take, as I read the mostly older reviews, is that Iluna can be loud and the food uneven. Grubstake, to the extent there's much in the way of reviews, seems okay and possibly even pretty good, but not worth a special trip.
Can anyone offer much in the way of recent substantive experience? Thanks!
I don't know about Grubstake, but for Basque, go to Piperade.
In my Top Ten in SF...
re: Melanie Wong
Well, actually, I might. IF they had no hamburgers wherever they came from and the Greek diner was one of a very few places in Chicago that offered hamburgers. Perhaps I wasn't clear: I can't get Portuguese here in Chicago, period. I was aware that Grubstake had a Portuguese "menu"--albeit very small. Still, even a small offering is better than I what I can get here. So, I wanted to know if the Portuguese items were worth making it a destination. Even though I recognize Grubstake is primarily a late night diner, that doesn't mean that the Portuguese items aren't worth it--or does it? That was the point of my question. Sorry I wasn't clear.
re: Gypsy Boy
Maybe this will help?
I have only eaten at Grubsteak late night (after 11) but I have eaten some of the Portuguese items. I thought it was very good but I don't know Portuguese food at all so I don't know how it compares.
I have heard that:
1) you can only get the Portuguese items "late night" and
2) the Portuguese chef works late night so the food is better then
- but I have never checked into those rumors to find the truth. Although the menu doesn't indicate specific hours for those dishes.
You can see their offerings here, click on the menu icon and scroll down to Portuguese Corner.
And note that they say "We can make any Portuguese dish with advance notice"
I say go for it, but call them the day before and ask for whatever dish you're missing most. (And then tell us about it, you will have scooped the entire Bay Area Chowhound community!)
re: Gypsy Boy
Here's a link to the chowdown report from March 2005 where we ordered every Portuguese item on the menu and then some with pretty thorough descriptions.
The cooking is hearty and diner-like with service and ambience to match. The meat-and-potatoes offerings are similar to the quick mid-day meals I had in Porto a year ago at the small cafes, but a step down in quality. This is the simplest of Portuguese comfort food after drinking too much and the availability depends on giving advance notice and who's in the kitchen.
La Salette in Sonoma is a destination --- make the one-hour drive from the City if you're serious about eating Portuguese food. Be sure to order fresh seafood. The cafes, bakeries and small eateries in the Alum Rock are of San Jose can be a destination to see a working Portuguese neighborhood and color.
Perhaps the best advice I have for Grubstake is to go there late at night after a night of dancing and barhopping and you've had your dinner elsewhere. Order the caldo verde. If you like that, come back in the morning and have the linguica and eggs. Yes, it is your only option for eating Portuguese in the City of San Francisco and that fact may be the only memorable aspect of your meal. Just don't let it keep you from every wanting to try Portuguese food again.
I also agree that Piperade should be on your list for Basque. .
If you by chance are here more than a few days and feel like a trip out of town, you might want to consider La Salette in Sonoma (about an hour and 15 minutes Northeast) for Portuguese food. If they have whole roast fish available, I recommend it highly!
Grubstake is only loved by locals for its hours. Iluna Basque was absolutely awful on my only visit there. So bad that I will not try again. Piperade combines modern SF restaurant values (excellent food and warm service) with surprisingly great food. If San Francisco is where you are for Basque food, then Piperade is surely the place to get it. Bocadillos is fun, but the food is more authentic (and worth the trip) at Piperade.
re: monday
Sounds like Piperade is it! Thanks very much to all for posting. I am looking forward to visiting--not only are there so many great places to try, you have a number of cuisines that simply aren't represented in Chicago. For example, we had good Tibetan and excellent Portuguese and now they're gone. We've never had Indonesian (at least not for a very long time). There's a few others as well--not to mention all the other great places. Sadly, we're only there for three days, so I may just have to strap on the bib and chow down for 72 hours straight!
Thanks for all your help; I'm sure I'll be back as I tweak the list.
Some 2005 reports on the Portuguese food at Grubstake:
Posts on other Portuguese places:
OK, having eaten at EVERY known Portuguese restaurant, bakery & market from San Jose to Sonoma
I would say if you REALLY want as authentic Portuguese as possible, rent a car and head to Alum Rock Avenue in San Jose ... lots of bakeries, markets, a restaurant and a cafe that has my heart ... Café Docanto ... gosh, I love that place and when I'm in that area I always stop.
Sousa's on Alum Rock has the real deal as far as Azores cuisine in this area.
I'm torn between Sousas and La Salette in Sonoma. Sousa' has some down-home simple dishes. I DO like La Salette for the more refined presentation and the great Ports, sherries and wines ... and I am totally crazy about their rice pudding from the wood-fired oven.
To my taste, Grubstake wins on one thing ... the caldo verde. I liked it at Grubstake the best of the three Bay Area 'real' Portuguese restaurants ... Duartes in Pescadero and a place in HMB have one or two Portuguese dishes.
If you are REALLY determined to go for Portuguese at Grubstake, I'd find out what dishes you wanted to eat and arrange ahead of time with them for your dinner.
However, Grubstake entrees while ok, just didn't wow me as much as the other two joints.
Now if you are coming around Ash Wednesday or 40 days after Easter ... the day before Ash Wednesday is Malasada day ... but you need to head to Hayward and SJ. There are festas after Easter ... again you have to head south ... I want to get to the biggest one from what I hear ... in Montery.
If you really want Basque in the SF itself, even though I haven't tried Illuna ... really go to Piperade.
Have you considered Aziza ... different cuisine ... Cal-Mediterranean .. but unlikey there's anything like it in Chicago.
rworange ... formerly Krys Stanley
re: rworange
Aziza is Cal-Moroccan. Definitely a unique place well worth one dinner during a visit to SF.
Again, thanks all! Your generosity in responding and sheer helpfulness are true to your reputation. I only wish we had more time in SF to eat. Our two dinner reservations so far are, in fact, Aziza and Perbacco. My wish for number 3 is Piperade, but the Lovely Dining Companion is unaccountably standoffish all of a sudden. Would love to get down to San Jose (well, to eat, anyway) or up to Sonoma. But maybe what this trip is teaching us is that we need to get back sooner and for a longer period.
If I can ever return the favors on the Chicago Board (or, more likely, on LTH (http://www.lthforum.com/bb/index.php), you need only post.
re: Gypsy Boy
Show LDC the Piperade website
Grubsteak is really just a coffee shop type of place. The closest SF has to an East Coast dinner. Maybe breakfast at Grubsteak? Eggs with Portuguese sausage?

PROS: Beautiful soft finish. Definitely blendable/buildable. I use this as more of a bronzer for my N10 (leaning to NC) skin.
CONS: Maybe just a bit too much shimmer. (The size of the "glitter" is just a little big for my taste. I like it very, very subtle.) Price.
ALTERATES: I also love Lorac & Bobbi Brown blushes. For DS, I like Revlon Powder Blushes or CoverGirl Cheekers (if you don't mind that covergirl/noxema smell.) I specifically pair this (as a bronzer) with the Covergirl Cheeker's in "Pretty Peach" as a blush. Love them together.
This product is wonderful. I had forgotten how gorgeous this blush is and how much I love Giorgio Armani products. Giorgio Armani products give you a very natural look. If you want something that is very obvious then this is not the brand for you. The color is a mix of peach, rose, bronze and gold. It gives a beautiful glow and highlights and contours where you need it to in one simple sweep. The product is smooth and silky with very fine shimmer in it. I usually hate shimmer but this one is barely there and the finish is very tasteful (not cheap looking). The application is pretty effortless since it blends out easily. You cannot mess up with this blush. Price is quite high as with all of GA's products but the quality is there. I absolutely love this blush and am sad that its almost finished. The packaging is sleek and sexy but I have broken the clasp that holds the compact closed on one of my GA blushes.
Gorgeous colour. Starts off sheer but is buoildable and gives me such a natural glow. It's also great to use as a contour shade for fair skinned people like myself.
It's been a while since I shop for blush and decided to look for a non-drug store brand. I've visited Giorgio Armani shop and asked the SA to recommend me a blush to use on all occasion. After a glance on my face, she picked Sheer Blush #3 and I was thinking is this a blush or highlight or bronzer? The colour was not pink nor coral. It's definitely not a colour I would pick on my own.
Anyhow, she applied on my face directly and taught me how to use it to enhance my facial feature. It's subtle (not overpowering) but yet my cheek looks glowing. The blush has no shimmer. The colour is between a bronze with a hint of rose. I have fair to medium tone (GA 5.5).
Lasting power is great, no touch up required from 11am to 10pm. continued >>
Not one for peach blush, they almost always look wrong on my light olive complexion. This however looks perfect! Insanely complimentary, provides a bronze-peach glow that doesn't turn orange on me. Quality is amazing, finely milled, applies beautifully and lasts better than most blushes i've tried. This is my second GA blush, and like the first, it looks light in the pan but shows up great on my skin.
I used #2 and I got towards the end of the pan when it became rock solid and impossible to use. I tried #3 at the counter and the quality of the powder is not good at all: not silky and the colour is very ruddish for my pale complexion. I do not like the shimmer and I was not impressed. I went to the D&G counter and bought The Blush instead. Much better quality and colour range.

* Comes with a mirror, big plus!
* Very subtle healthy colour on my skin tone
* Blends very well
* Pricey
* Pigmentation is not the strongest, but to me that just means layering is more possible.
My absolute favourite blush of all time! I love this because no one can ever tell Im wearing blush when I have this on, every single person that sees me with this thinks its my natural skin glow :)
Its a very subtle pink-beige colour, that I use if Ive put on foundation ( as that covers my natural pink cheeks) or I didnt get a lot of sleep and just want to look more awake. The compact also comes with a mirror which I love so I can travel much easier.
It blends like a dream, doesnt have much sheen to it (making it look more natural), it has good pigmentation, I think I usually need to drip my brush twice for each cheek to get the desired glow I want. Highly recommend this to everyone with a similar skin tone to mine.
It is pricey, but a little goes a long way and given it is a dry powder, I don't see myself having to head back to GA anytime soon :)
Note: My skin tone is N4 with MAC.

Armani Cosmetics calls Sheer Blush #3 "beige rose," but this is misleading for a blush whose color is bronzed apricot.
This is not a color I would normally try, because on my complexion these tones might appear ruddy, muddy, or orangey. However, I let an Armani SA cut loose on my face and this is the color he chose, calling it a "nude" blush.
Blush #3 is far from nude, and it also is much browner than Nars Orgasm (which is brighter and far more glittery). What there is of a shimmer is milled into the product, exactly as it is with Chanel blushes.
Although I think the SA was desperate to make a sale, he mentioned wanting to "warm up" my complexion when I complained that foundation strips me of all natural color. At the same time, extreme dryness had caused my face to redden a bit, making my favorite blush--Chanel Orchid Rose--look a shade too bright and unnatural.
I bought the Armani blush and then wondered what I'd been thinking. I was afraid it would clash with my plum lipsticks (Orgasm does). However, when I tried it at home with a skunk brush, I was able to get a gentle nude tone that didn't interfere with the lip color. I did have to be very careful, though. A regular blush brush would sweep this into unacceptable territory!
Color aside, the sheer blush is a lovely, luminous product. Its strongest asset is its buildability and transparency. Lasting power was average, meaning it lasted for eight hours without needing reapplication. The color stayed true and didn't mottle or pool. I do think this shade would be better on a darker complexion than mine, although it accentuated the blue/green tones in my eyes.
I have dry skin, and applying powder on top of the blush diminished the color payoff (good to know if you overdo it); it also caused some build-up on fine lines that might be of some concern to other users in my age category. I use the Armani transparent powder, which is as finely milled as you can get and is an excellent product.
This blush would work quite well as a contour product, and I noticed that the SA applied it as such, at the bottom edge of the cheekbone.
Very expensive, but it's my feeling that you pay for quality here, as you do with Chanel blushes. It seems that the most finely milled blushes come with high stickers.
Works exceptionally well with Luminous or Lasting Silk foundations. continued >>

this is one of the best blushes i've tried (and i love blushes so ive tried quite a few brands- the usual drugstore ones, MMU, nars, BB, MAC etc). the texture of the powder is amazing, its actually quite creamy/silky. which means that its great going onto your face (soft and blendable) and that the brush doesnt pick up too much product when you swipe it across the pan. it also doesnt leave a powdery residue on the packaging.
speaking of the packaging, its sleek and compact. i like the fact that it comes with a mirror but no puff or brush (i'd rather use my own brush) thus minimising the size. its also hardy, i've dropped it about 3 times so far and no damage whatsoever, the powder didnt crack and nothing happened to it!
colour-wise, this is a purely peach/bronze blush which is light on my med-olive skin but can be built up beautifully (i need about 3 swipes of this blush on each cheek) to give me a very natural sunkissed look. i've had it for a month and use it almost everyday since its so suitable for school, natural and glowy. other than foundation, i just use this blush with my mac rubenesque paint pot (gold shimmer) as an all over wash on my eye, mascara, liner and a lipbalm/clear gloss and im good to go!
as for staying power, its decent and lasts me throughout the day even though it fades slightly. ok but not the best since i think some of my MMU blushes have better staying power. i love this though, and despite the high price i think it'll last me a long time. cant wait to try #2!
This is not at ALL like NARS' Orgasm and I'm getting pretty darned tired of people comparing every single flattering peachy blush to the O! Whew! Glad I got that off my chest!
Anyway, #3 is a light peach with zero pink in it (unlike Orgasm, which is a light, bright coral-peach with definite pink tones). Instead it has a definite tawny/pale bronzey tone. I can't see any real shimmer in this--it looks pretty matte to me, but the texture (divine...so finely-milled it's almost creamy) makes this more transparent than most powder blushes, so that your skin can shine through. That is, when it's applied lightly with a skunk brush.
It's not my favorite peachy blush. The color is a little too orange for my complexion, blending in a little too much if I wear it very sheerly and looking too warm and flat if I layer it. I always feel the need to layer a truer pink on top or to use a contour shade with this. It's not unflattering, but it doesn't make me look nearly as nice as Smashbox's Tint or Cargo's The Big Easy.
Great packaging: chic, brushed matte compact that doesn't waste materials and an understated logo. VERY expensive. I probably will not repurchase this particular color, though I'm in love with the GA sheer blushes in general.

Bryce Cottrell Q&A
Defensive end flipped his commitment to Texas shortly before signing day
Bryce Cottrell (Plano, Texas/Plano West) committed to Oregon last October but knew all along he wanted to be a Longhorn if Texas ever did offer. Three months later, a lifelong dream came true.
In a recent interview with HornsNation, the two-star defensive end signee looked back on the decision to flip his commitment, how Texas won him over in the end and where he fits into UT's defensive schemes.
HornsNation: How did you end up a Longhorn?
Bryce Cottrell: Well, I've always wanted to play for the Longhorns since I was a little kid. My mom and my grandma and all them were Texas Longhorns, so it was kind of meant to be. I remember getting a phone call from Mack Brown a week and a half before signing day and they told me they were offering a scholarship. It was one of the happiest days of my life. That's a dream come true.
HN: But at the same time, that was a pretty confusing time for you, wasn't it?
BC: Oh yeah. I'm a pretty loyal person. I don't like changing my mind on anything, really. That was hard to say no to a school that recruited me for so long and that I was committed to and everything. It doesn't help when Chip Kelly calls and has a conversation with you and the coaches come for their in-home visit on the day before I left for Texas.
HN: I'm guessing that was a pretty tense meeting. What do you remember about it?
BC: Yeah. Coach [Don] Pullum asked me what I wanted to do, and I said I didn't know. He was worried at first, but he assured that if I went they would still save a spot for me. They assured me I would be fine and coach Kelly was OK with it. I wanted to visit Texas. If I like it, I like it. If I don't, I'll be an Oregon Duck. And you know how that turned out.
HN: What was it about that visit that encouraged you to flip your commitment?
BC: Just seeing everything Texas has to offer. The facilities, the reputation for playing great defense, the number of players they put in the NFL each year. Those were the main things, not to mention you get a world-class education. That was a big factor for me. I knew in the back of my mind that would be the right place for me, because I sat down with Manny Diaz and he came to my school with coach [Oscar] Giles and showed me their depth chart and defense and how I fit in. It fits the way I play very well. Going on campus and seeing coach Brown and everybody, it really put it into perspective how important the education is and having a system that fits you well to succeeding.
HN: Did you have any second thoughts after you committed to Texas or ever feel you made the wrong choice?
More on Cottrell
Carter Strickland: Cottrell would have had a better chance of making it on the field early at Oregon. At Texas he is going to have to wait a year. The Longhorns are loaded at defensive end and are unlikely to use him in that position.
Cottrell's best shot to get on the field might be at the linebacker spot. He is a hybrid player and Texas might want to look at cross-training him in the first few weeks of August to see if he might be used at linebacker. Texas has four solid linebackers -- Demarco Cobbs, Steve Edmond, Tevin Jackson and Jordan Hicks -- but will be looking to add at least one or two freshmen to the mix in August.
What Texas must figure out is if Cottrell has the frame and the speed to be a defensive end or if he is better suited for a linebacker spot. And that decision needs to be made rather early in his career so that he can quickly become a productive player.
Mack Brown's take:
"He started at safety. Then they moved him to middle linebacker. He's only played defensive end one year. He's got really good quickness. You can see he plays well with his hands. He's got really good feet. He's got the speed to run people down. We feel like that he can be a really strong factor coming off the edge in pass rush. We're in such a pass rush league. We've got to have that. Guys might throw it 50 times in this league. We also trusted [sophomore DE] Jackson [Jeffcoat]. He knew him really well and knew the family. And he grew up being a Texas fan."
HN: What was it about Oregon that you really loved and will miss?
BC: Just to play for Chip Kelly and to do something different, really -- break the mold and do something different. I liked coach [Nick] Aliotti and the way he runs their defense, but I just think Manny Diaz is better.
HN: What do you think of your opportunity to play at Texas in your freshman year?
BC: The same as everyone else. They told me if I come in and do what I need to do and shine in practice, I'll be playing. If not, redshirt just like anyone else. There's opportunity for everybody.
HN: How much did being at the Orange-White spring game get you excited to get this first year started?
BC: It got me excited, especially that atmosphere with everyone there. To come out for a spring game and like 50,000 people come to see you just shows you how dedicated the fans are.
HN: What do you bring to Texas as a defensive lineman?
BC: I bring several things to the field. I'm able to come off the edge and pass rush. I'm quick enough and agile enough to drop into coverage. Those are some of the things Manny Diaz likes about me. I'm not just a straight defensive end -- I'm a linebacker/defensive end and they can move me around.
HN: Why is Diaz's scheme a good fit for your skill set?
BC: Just the way they play defensive ends. At Texas I'll be playing the weakside defensive end. The way they do it is their defensive end is able to stand up or put their hand down. And they move them around a lot. That's the main thing I like.
HN: As a lifelong Texas fan, are you looking forward to playing your first game at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium?
BC: Oh yeah, definitely. I'm more worried about the practices first, though. With Mad Dog (strength coach Jeff Madden) and Bennie Wylie and everybody, it's not the game I'm worried about, it's the practices. That's the hard part.

Photo by Barrett Hedges Barrett Hedges, a 24-year-old Tullahoma, Tenn., man beat out more than 14,000 other photographers to win the grand prize in the 2010 Energizer Ultimate Photo Contest. His photo of a charging brown bear will appear in National Geographic magazine.
With mother brown bear in attack mode and running toward him, Barrett Hedges froze to take the photo that would change his life.
"I wasn't looking at my camera screen," said the 24-year-old from Tullahoma, Tenn. "I was more worried about distancing myself."
Next month, Hedges' photo will appear in National Geographic magazine after beating out more than 14,000 other entries in the 2010 Energizer Ultimate Photo Contest.
Judge Jim Richardson, a National Geographic photographer, said he was drawn to the bear "charging straight at us with all the energy of a freight train."
"The image [is] at once frightening and magnificent," Richardson said.
Hedges said he took the winning shot last year at Katmai National Park in Alaska.
A 2004 graduate of Tullahoma High School and 2008 graduate of Carson-Newman College, Hedges said he was asleep Thursday morning when his sister called to tell him he had won the contest.
Hedges said he got his start with a disposable camera his parents gave him on a family trip when he was a teenager.
"After we got our pictures back, mine were better on a throwaway than they could get on a 35 millimeter [camera]," he said.
When Hedges' family visited the Great Smoky Mountains, he constantly would look for bears, he said. In 2009, he nabbed a summer job as a tour bus driver at Katmai.
Besides having his photo published, Hedges won a nine-day sailing trip to the Greek Isles. Hedges said he'll take a college chum along.
"I told him beforehand that if I won, he was first in line," he said. "When I called him this morning, he didn't really believe me."
Hedges' goal is eventually to land a wildlife photography job for a nature magazine.
But for now, Hedges said, he's looking forward to shooting photos of Yellowstone National Park in the winter. Next week he'll travel to Montana to start his new job at a nearby ski resort, driving a tour bus.

I telephoned and placed my order. The lady who helped me was friendly and helpful, and the postal / delivery service was excellent. Sadly the items were gorgeous, but just too big and rather boxy in shape - a little more feminine would be nice. Shape is good whether large or small! I love Jigsaw I shall be buying again without doubt. Thank you.
There were 2 loose threads on the front of the cardigan, which I would have noticed and not accepted had I been instore. I managed to pull the back through to the other side using a needle, but this was risky. Not sure if I would order again
Jigsaw reply I am sorry that this item did not arrive in perfect condition. All of our items are checked before we send them out. It seems that this did not happen on this occasion. I apologise for any inconvenience that this may have caused you. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Lovely cardigan and the colour is gorgeous (bright green). It feels beautifully soft and delicate. Not sure how well it will wash as I haven't washed it. In fact still undecided whether I will keep this cardigan as it was so pricey, but probably will because it is so lovely.
Always receive goods within 2-3days of ordering which is very reliable service.

The main benefit of ICD-10 is the creation of errors in coding. Error in coding are a great benefit to the government "Upcoding" is using an ICD code that resulted in an increased payment that is higher than what the Medicare Recovery Audit Contractors think should have been paid. RACs perform retrospective audits that pull 100 charts, audit them, and determine that 5% of the codes were "upcoded". They then demand 5% refund for the last 3 years for ALL Medicare billings from that physician. Sure you can fight, but in they will try the case in Federal Court, with the threat of a False Claims Act/Qui Tam ruling over you. That means that if you lose fighting the government on their home field, the government will assess a $5000 - $10000 fine PER CASE! Considering most physician bills get paid $22-$102 per office visit from Medicare, most physicians just give up and settle. Government happily reports the "fraud" they found.

I´m old. I remember when doctors treated you as a person. NOW you are a number, a code and you do not have an eye problem. What you have is a digital condition. As a matter of fact you have become a number that defies description without a code book with 68 thousand conditions.When do we wipe the slate clean and start over?

Quit using insurance for anything other than catastrophic health problems. Pay cash. Cut the government out of your life and business affairs as much as possible. And vote to shrink it back to almost nothing.

I just experienced a ZYX.23.A.B52, that is, a humongous headache from reading about absurd government imposed medical practices. I´m going to save everybody the trouble and take an aspirin.

# 5 - you have just described for what the obamacare insurance policies intended. Catastrophic care with much higher deductibles than previous policies before obamacare.A patient will be paying forever their own expenses with deductibles at 4, 5, 6 thousand dollars per year or more. Surely the deductible is annually for these figures.A letter from a doctor in Ga. writes the coding of health treatments went from about 15K up to 70K. Who in the heck came up with that many scenarios of health problems? A good way for the doctors to not be reimbursed for care given to the medicaid patients (who don´t have to pay for coverage) but keep from reimbursement until the doctor shuts his doors because he has exhausted his efforts to obtain the reimbursements.

I´ve already seen ads for companies that have waded thru the morass of Obamacare and are offering their services as consultants for businesses that want to stay compliant. My prediction? Insurance companies want to beef up their utility and their revenues. They will select the codes that are most often used, and profitable for them, and disseminate the list to their docs. Injuries from burning water skis? Puhleeze. But, slip and fall on ice? Here´s the code. Burn? Here;s the code with all the subsections for burn on the job, burn in the kitchen, burn in recreation, etc.Now, all this extra crap will cost us more. But life will go on.

Another benefit of the new codes. My current insurance routinely denies all claims as they are incorrectly coded. I´ve had bills that should have been paid by insurance go back and forth multiple times between the doctor and the insurance company. I´m ultimately forced to just pay the bill when the Dr. gives up and turns it over to a collection agency. It´s a good scam being run by the insurance. With the multiple companies a dr. has to deal with they don´t have time to chase codes for every patient.

There is an additional problem not listed here-a dumbed down referral or medical clerk in the hospital or doctor´s office. Once there was a person working for the insurer that didn´t know what a word meant and declined someone.I am exhausted fighting for a prescription I have taken for years. Appeal, appeal.

Wild rice seemed to have its moment back in the '90s. That's roughly when Americans first seemed to discover there was more to the rice world than long grain white.
Since then, wild rice (and yes, we know it's really a grass, not a true rice) seems to have lost its luster. People moved on to all the many other new and exciting grains that have come along since, things like quinoa and farro, not to mention the many designer and heirloom rices now lining grocers' shelves.
But we still have a soft spot for the tender, nutty chew of wild rice. So we created a cool, sweet summer salad to show off just how delicious it can be.

Parra turned down an opportunity to play at the University of Maryland to join Major League Soccer. Parra was the first Project-40 player to sign with an MLS team, shortly after graduating from Hamden Hall High School in New Haven, Conn.

text: 'Ambushed' Blu-Ray Review: Generic Actioner No 'Expendables' Clone Print article Send a Tip by Zachary Leeman 25 Nov 2013 post a comment Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture and Vinnie Jones all being in a film together is enough reason to pay attention. At least that's what I thought before I watched Ambushed, available now on home video. This film is so far beyond generic, so deeply cliched that I thought it might be smart enough to have a satirical bent. No sir. It's all serious, and that's really too bad. To even repeat the story would be shameful. Let's just say that there are stolen drugs, dirty cops and (thankfully) some of the usual hard action a film like this calls for. My biggest problem with the movie has to be that Lundgren and Couture don't even feel like central players for a long time. There's a different main character with a different story that we really don't care about. It's connected to both our heroes. Well, not heroes exactly. One's "dirty" and the other is coming after him while simultaneously trying to bust drug dealers. The script for the movie, by a credited Augustin, deflates the movie every time it starts to build up any energy. It's a jumbled mess as we jump from the perspective of Jones' drug dealer, Lundgren's DEA agent, Couture's dirty cop and that young punk I mentioned. The story jumps ship every time we start to have any interest in what's going on. Director Giorgio Serafini is obsessed with split screens and quick cuts and those become headaches real quick. The story and dialogue here are so bland and unoriginal that this movie is a carbon copy of what you would expect a bad action movie to be. It never strives to be anything but a bad action movie. That's what's sad. That all being said, Lundgren and Couture are both doing fine here and make some of the action work. Same goes for Jones. They're all talented guys and they deserved a far better project to bring them together. The Blu-ray combo pack for Ambushed includes a solo behind the scenes feature. Ambushed had the potential to be something cool and gritty and great, but it has no ambition to be. Too bad.

Alice in Wonderland
Duration: 01:17
The Victorians were masters of illustrated books, especially for children. Thanks to an emerging middle class readership, new printing technology and a sentimentalised regard for childhood, fairy tales and fantasy fiction containing words and pictures grew into an established genre.
First published in 1865, Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll was one of the most remarkable books of the period, a combination of the genius of Carroll's nonsense verse and prose and the meticulously detailed illustrations of John Tenniel. Creating a handshake on the page, they formed an inseparable bond that has since become a cultural phenomenon.
