I don't claim to be an expert on Guy Fieri, the Bay Area dynamo who has become a national celebrity through his Food Network shows, "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives" and "Guy's Big Bite."
I did witness, however, the crazy attention he attracted on the sidelines at a Raiders game last year. Since when did foodies get so loud?
The bleach blond, pinky-ring wearing Fieri has devoted the last eight years to building a huge brand. While the rest of us frittered away the past couple months, Fieri opened a now-infamous (thanks to a the New York Times review) 500-seat restaurant in Times Square and launched a whopping six lines of cookware.
Long before all the hoopla, Fieri and his business partner Steve Gruber opened the first Johnny Garlic's in Santa Rosa in 1996. There are currently five locations, including one in Dublin's Hacienda Crossings.
Walking into Johnny Garlic's for the first time, I realized immediately that my preconceived notions were way off. Anticipating a restaurant reflective of "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives," I instead found a well-appointed space more akin to a chophouse. I expected to stand in line to order from a guy in a bowling shirt, but was greeted by a very professional server delivering complimentary onion-topped focaccia. Johnny Garlic's serves bona fide, stick to your ribs meals, not the burger on the run I envisioned.
While a large display in the lobby pedals branded T-shirts and Fieri's signature -- complete with exclamation point -- adorns the signage, the restaurant's appeal is certainly not limited to those hoping to catch a glimpse of the self-styled rock star chef." Fieri might well be spending more time at his new Manhattan restaurant anyway, after it was hit with a "poor" rating and scathing New York Times review that quickly went viral.
The Dublin location features an open kitchen, a sizable bar area, and lots of dark wood. The dining room feels masculine but is softened by the many hanging blown-glass pendants, which lend a sense of intimacy.
Johnny Garlic's diverse offerings include rib eye steaks, cherry barbecue baby back ribs, pasta, burgers served on pretzel rolls and Neapolitan-style pizza. The inclusion of rotating "exotic game" such as alligator and chicken-fried quail adds a sense of adventure.
While the French onion soup ($7.95) is a house specialty, I found a lot to like in the mildly aromatic roasted garlic soup ($3.95), made with chicken stock and heavy cream. The recipe -- available on the Food Network website -- is something I'll try soon.
We also ordered the JG Famous Caesar ($4.95/$9.95), selecting it from among the six salad options simply for its claim to fame. We found it to be skillfully dressed, but we didn't happen upon the promised focaccia croutons or uncover the merits of its self-proclaimed celebrity. The accompanying shrimp (an additional $5), however, were a real delight, pulled from the grill at just the right moment.
The chain's bestseller is the Cajun chicken fettuccine ($16.95 or $10.95 at lunch with salad), a dish Fieri pulled together at the eleventh hour during a culinary final at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Small bits of fiery blackened chicken breast wade in a creamy Parmesan sauce with sun-dried tomatoes and pasta. I appreciated the chicken's spiciness, but still relied on a bright Sonoma salad ($5.95/$10.95) -- a spring mix with dried cranberries and blue cheese, available as a pasta/salad combination at lunch -- to cool things off. The pasta was a tad greasy, but I still craved it the next day.
For more poultry, the Volcano Chicken ($16.95) is another house specialty. The chicken breasts are tender and juicy. The bold sauce is spicy and sweet, but slightly borders on cloying. Sides of fried Maui onion straws, Yukon garlic mashed potatoes, and brussels sprouts create an attractive variety of flavors and textures.
Our server also steered us to the Double R Ranch flank steak ($22.95), a peppered steak with a cabernet-balsamic reduction, sized generously enough to feed two people, and adorned with the precise cross hatch marks of a grill. But as with the chicken's Volcano sauce, the reduction struck me as a notch too sugary.
As for the mashed potatoes, those who are tired of the overuse of garlic -- a la fries drenched in garlic at the ballpark -- will appreciate the restraint used here. It's noticeable, but not suffocatingly so.
We found the molten lava cake ($7.95) with oozing caramel a decadent chaser to our entrees, but others may be tempted by the seasonal cheesecake, s'more pizza, "Old Skool" Bananas Foster and other dishes on the dessert menu (all $7.95).
I have only positive notes about the service, particularly one well-trained and thoughtful server who knew every crevice of the menu.
Johnny Garlic's is a versatile spot for a family dinner, date night, or to watch a game. With stable management, a tested concept and, of course, the star power, this chain should be a staple in the Bay Area dining scene for some time -- unless you happen to be a New York Tmes reviewer.

The family of a Camdenton woman killed in a violent car accident will have to wait until December to discover the fate of the man charged with her murder.
A Cole County judge set the jury trial for Columbia resident Dennis Leporin, 29, for Dec. 17 following a case review Wednesday. Facing a second degree murder charge, second degree assault charge charge, a driving while intoxicated persistent offender charge, driving while revoked charge and driving in the wrong direction on a highway charge, authorities say Leporin drove a pick-up truck the wrong way on Highway 54 in Cole County March 6 when he struck a Saturn Ion driven by 19-year-old Chelsea Fredrickson.
Fredrickson died in the collision. A passenger in Fredrickson's car, Jasper Richmond, was taken to University Hospital in Columbia.
Leporin waived a formal arraignment and pleaded not guilty to the charges in May.
Leporin was charged as a persistent offender on the DWI. According to court records, Leporin had a prior DWI conviction in 2011 in Camden County. Leporin has a history of other traffic related charges in other counties.
He is being held on $250,000 bond.
Leporin's case will be heard by Cole County Circuit Judge Daniel Green and a jury.

Wetlands along the Gulf Coast comprise one of North America's most important wintering areas for waterfowl. The Ducks Unlimited International Conservation Plan identifies this region as one of five highest priority areas for wetlands and waterfowl conservation. The region has suffered extensive loss of feeding and resting habitat for waterfowl, and these losses have been exacerbated by declines in rice production on the coastal prairies. The rice prairies are well known among waterfowlers for large concentrations of lesser snow and white-fronted geese, as well as pintails.
Once tallgrass coastal prairie, the area has been almost entirely converted to agriculture, dominated in recent times by rice production. Waterfowl have adapted well to this land-use change and readily feed on waste rice in harvested, flooded fields. But a number of factors including higher production costs and changes in federal farm programs have caused a fairly rapid decline (nearly 60 percent in some areas) in land dedicated to rice farming. Generally, rice land has been converted to agricultural crops that have less value to waterfowl or has been abandoned completely and invaded by nonnative Chinese tallow trees and other woody vegetation.
To address the increasing loss of waterfowl habitat, DU helped initiate the Texas Prairie Wetlands Project (TPWP). This private lands program was formed in 1991 with goals that support the habitat objectives of the Gulf Coast Joint Venture of the North American Waterfowl Management Plan. The TPWP is a cooperative effort between DU, private landowners, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service. This partnership was established to help private cooperators restore, enhance, and protect shallow-water wetlands throughout a 28-county focus area along the Texas Gulf Coast.

Okay, I've finally had enough. I'm so fed up with what is being perpetrated on our retired community. I have met so many retired individuals and couples over the past few years who have investments in Icon Leasing and Inland Real Estate Investment trusts. They were sold these products with the promise of great interest and dividend payments. They were sold these products by an advisor who was interested in making as much commission as possible. This advisor's next course of action was to place assets in variable annuities, either with Metlife, Lincoln, John Hancock, Prudential, locking up the clients assets for long periods of time. Once again so that he could make lots of commission.
I am fed up with seeing retired individuals being preyed on like this and being unable to get the income they need in retirement. If you own these products or if someone is suggesting them to you as an income option, you might find the following of interest.
In June 2009 the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, issued Regulatory Notice 9-09 pertaining to unlisted Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and Direct Participation Programs (DPPs). FINRA recently reissued the notice because of its concerns — reflected in a recent enforcement action — that some investors may be the recipients of misleading information regarding certain public non-traded REITs.
Some investors may also receive recommendations to purchase these products without adequate investigation by the firm or individual broker to determine whether these or similar investments are suitable. If you have invested in a non-traded REIT or DPP, or it is being suggested to you by your investment advisor, here's what you should know.
Unlisted REITs have also drawn FINRA scrutiny because of investor status. In Pennsylvania investors in REITs must meet a minimum suitability standard set by the REIT/DPP company, for instance, a minimum net worth of at least $250,000, or minimum annual gross income of at least $70,000 and a minimum net worth of at least $70,000. Their investment in the REIT may not exceed 10 percent of their liquid net worth, which may be defined as the remaining balance of cash and other assets easily converted to cash after subtracting the investors total liabilities from total assets.
These suitability standards exclude from the calculation of net worth the value of the investor's home, home furnishings and automobiles. So if your home and furnishings are worth $350,000 and your automobiles are valued at $40,000, and you have a combined $100,000 in your IRA and brokerage accounts and $20,000 in gold coins, you have a net worth/liquid net worth of $120,000, not $510,000.
Suitability: It is rare that a non-traded REIT is suitable and appropriate for clients in any significant amounts. These are considered alternative investments and most professionals believe at most, only 5 percent of a client's portfolio should be in alternative investments. I have come across clients who have had up to 50 percent of their assets placed in non-traded REITs, and then the remaining funds have been placed in variable annuities which have major surrender charges within them.
Concentration: This is tied directly to the above. Sometimes, clients who were recommended non-traded REITs also were sold private placements, other REITs and other alternative investments. Read Icon etc.
Lack of Sector Diversification: Typically these non-traded REITs are concentrated in only one sector. A sector based investment is often not suitable or not appropriate for clients based off of the client's investment objectives.
Misrepresentations and Omissions Related To "Dividends" and "Interest": Often non-traded REITs and DPPs pay back to clients principal, and the advisor fails to adequately explain this to clients. The clients think they are receiving "income" or "dividends," but in reality they are only getting paid back their principal.
For example, I met with a retired couple recently who were sold Icon Leasing Programs 11 and 14. Icon 11 has stopped distributions and Icon 14 is making distributions of principal and interest. However, Icon's investor relations department could not tell this couple how much of the distribution was the interest payment. Hmmm.
This same couple had their liquid net worth and net worth hyper-inflated. I have seen this hyper-inflating trick played a number of times on individuals I have met over the past few years. It is a major problem because they really didn't know it had happened until it was too late. By the time they find out, more of their assets then should be placed into non-traded illiquid products.
What should you do? First, I suggest that you make sure you know exactly what your net worth/liquid net worth is, just so that you cannot be taken advantage of.
Secondly, if you already own such products, you should do the same thing as above, and if the amount you own is more than your net worth was at the time the product was purchased, you will know you have been taken advantage of.
Thirdly, speak to an investment advisor who has experience in dealing with these situations. A number of law firms out there are helping individual investors get their money back from companies like the ones mentioned in this article.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Andrew Luck's jersey has been sent to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, he's shaved his head and the Indianapolis Colts rookie quarterback is about to play in his first prime-time NFL game.
It's certainly been a memorable week for the former Stanford star.
The No. 12 shirt worn by Luck during Sunday's record-setting game against Miami arrived in Canton, Ohio, on Wednesday and will be displayed in the Hall of Fame's Pro Football Today Gallery.
Luck threw for 433 yards, a single-game rookie record, and tied Peyton Manning as the only quarterbacks in league history to produce four 300-yard games during their rookie season. Luck broke Cam Newton's single-game mark of 432 yards set last year.
The two-time Heisman Trophy runner-up has exceeded two years of hype over his first eight NFL games for the Colts (5-3), who'll play the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday Night Football.
Luck and many of his teammates will sport a new look for Thursday's game.
Luck is among almost three dozen Colts have shaved their heads in a show of support for Colts head coach Chuck Pagano. Kicker Adam Vinatieri and Pro Bowl safety Antoine Bethea are among those with buzz cuts.
Pagano was diagnosed with leukemia on Sept. 26 and was hospitalized until Oct. 21. On Monday, his physician, Dr. Larry Cripe of the Indiana University Simon Cancer Center, said Pagano was in "complete remission."
Luck, the overall No. 1 pick in this year's NFL draft, already has three more wins than Indy did last season with three veteran quarterbacks. Luck also tied the rookie record set by his predecessor, Peyton Manning, for most 300-yard games in a season (four) and is on pace to shatter several other marks.
He has completed 190 of 336 passes for 2,404 yards, with 10 touchdowns and eight interceptions. At this rate, he would shatter Sam Bradford's rookie marks for completions (354) and attempts (590) and Newton's record for yardage (4,051). He also could challenge Manning's rookie record for TD passes (26).
"I wouldn't trade him for anybody in the world," said Colts interim coach Bruce Arians said. "He has made us into a decent offense right now. There are times when we look like a bunch of rookies out there and then there's other times when we play pretty solid. He is the one pretty consistent force. He likes to practice, he loves to learn, he loves to meet and he has an infectious personality. He kind of wills himself on those guys in the huddle so he's brought a lot to it."

Joanne Noone, the associate dean of the Oregon Health & Science University School of Nursing in Ashland, has been appointed to the Oregon Public Health Advisory Board by Gov. John Kitzhaber. Her tenure will last until 2017.
Noone said she hopes to provide solid representation of Southern Oregon on the board.
"The board deals with public health issues that impact the entire state," she said. "Being down here in Southern Oregon is important. The board needs representation from all areas of the state."
Noone has practiced nursing in rural communities, and her research interests include women's reproductive issues.
She said one of the key issues facing the board in coming years will be the major overhaul of the state's medical system.
Oregon is the vanguard of a push to lower health costs by forming coordinated care communities that seek to lower hospital readmittance rates and revamp the way Medicaid is structured in the state.
"It really is a time of change in Oregon," Noone said. "We don't really know the full impact of the reform, but we do lead the country in these reforms."
The board serves as an advisory body to the Oregon Health Authority on policy matters related to public health programs. It also provides a review of statewide health issues and helps shape health policy, according to the group's website.

Kelsey is a sophomore at the University of Oregon majoring in Journalism and Facebook (wait, that's not a real major?!).

She also enjoys visiting National Parks, playing in the snow, and hanging out at the beach…double points if they're all at the same time.
In my small hometown, you wouldn't know it was St. Patrick's Day unless someone pinched you for not wearing green. But in some cities, Irish pride completely takes over on the 17th of March, resulting in leprechaun costumes, lots of bagpipes, and green everywhere—even the river, in some cases. Check out these city's celebrations and be sad that your city isn't cooler.
The very first St. Patrick's Day in America was celebrated in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1737. Now, a crowd of more than 850,000 people shows up to watch its annual parade full of floats, bagpipers, and marching bands.
New York was second in hosting a St Patrick's Day parade in 1762–but the tradition carries on to this day, making it the longest continuously-running civilian parade in the world. Nowadays, three million people gather to view the nearly 150,000 people that participate in the parade.
Chicago is home to one of the largest St. Patrick's Day parades in the city, but that's not all it offers: a 48 year old tradition of dyeing the river green with more than 40 pounds of vegetable dye turns the river green for several hours. Similarly, the town of Savannah, Georgia, dyes all of their fountains green for their three-hour parade.
The small town of New London, Wisconsin, changes its highway signs to read "New Dublin" on St. Patrick's Day each year (originally a prank, but one that has since been approved by the city council). Their St. Patty's Day parade draws 30,000 people to a town with a population of 7,000, and boasts a collection of Celtic bands, bagpipe players, and a green hearse.
The shortest St. Patrick's Day parade is set on the official Ripley's shortest bridge in the world–the 98 foot long Bridge Street in Hot Springs, Arkansas, complete with Irish Elvis impersonators, Irish dancers and a celebrity "Grand Master" (Mario Lopez has gotten the honor in the past—I know, I just bought tickets, too).
Speaking of world records, in O'Neill, Nebraska, the world's largest shamrock is found painted in the middle of the road between two highways. This town takes its Irish heritage seriously–on the 17th of every month, residents wear green to celebrate their inner leprechaun.
And, finally, there's the original Dublin, Ireland, where the festivities last all week and there are more than 15,000 pounds of fireworks let off.
Whether your festivities take you to see the green Chicago River or just the green beer at your local bar, have a fun St. Patrick's Day and may the luck of the Irish be with you!

Australian Mining Profits Set to Rise on China
Commodity prices may have come off the boil and China's economy cooled, but some of Australia's biggest mining names are still powering ahead thanks to the No. 2 economy's still-strong hunger for raw materials.
Analysts expect profits at companies like Rio Tinto PLC and Fortescue Metals Group to have widened as they lodge their latest earnings reports this month, after Chinese imports of commodities like iron ore rocketed to record highs. For some, it will be the first time since 2011 they have posted an on-year rise in profit.
China's growth has of course been slowing, with the economy no longer operating at full throttle. Last month, Beijing said the country's gross domestic product grew 7.7% in 2013, matching the year-earlier rate but well below the double-digit gains it chalked up over recent decades.
Still, Australian miners have been pumping out record volumes of minerals like iron ore, used to make steel, and coal, and shipping them north on massive vessels to Asia. China's imports of crude oil, iron ore and copper posted all-time highs for the first month of the year, after rising sharply in 2013, according to new customs data Wednesday.
While growth may be slowing, China's economy is many times larger than it was a few years back and it still needs massive quantities of raw materials to construct houses and fuel urbanization.
Rio Tinto, the world's second-largest iron-ore producer, will report its 2013 annual results Thursday, and is expected to post a rise in earnings after last month unveiling record iron-ore shipments for 2013. A poll of seven analysts estimated an average net profit of $7.59 billion. That compares to a loss of $2.99 billion in 2012 due to write-downs on investment.
Analysts are also forecasting the miner–which makes around 80% of its earnings from iron ore and is targeting a further expansion of its Australian operations by a quarter in the next few years–to up its full-year dividend and report strong cashflow.
Perth-based Fortescue, the world's No. 4 iron-ore miner, is also forecast to post a positive result when it unveils its financial report next week for the six months to Dec. 31, 2013. Morgan Stanley thinks the miner will continue a rapid pay-down of debt, while lifting returns to shareholders.
UBS estimates a half-year net profit of $1.67 billion and a six-cent interim dividend. Fortescue posted a net profit of $478 million in the same period last year. It didn't pay an interim dividend.
Prices for many commodities, including iron ore, have softened as China's growth cools and supply from mines developed when prices were high come online. But that trend is counterbalanced by larger volume demand from China, which needs huge new amounts of commodities to build new skyscrapers, rail lines and airports.
The Australian government expects iron-ore exports to reach 650 million metric tons in the year through June, compared to 527 million tons the 12 months prior.
"The big surprise [for the iron-ore market] in 2013 for sure came from the demand side," says J.P. Morgan analyst Rodolfo Angele. "China again exceeded even the more bullish expectations."
And despite volatile global prices, some commodities still notched up a decent average over the course of last year. While iron-ore prices were 7.4% lower at the end of 2013 compared to the start of the year, they were still, on average, higher in the year than 2012. The commodity averaged $135 a ton compared to $128 a ton in 2012.
That will help bolster at least the current earnings reports for miners of the steelmaking ingredient.
In the months ahead though, the outlook could be less bright as China's government puts the brakes on bank lending and investment. J.P. Morgan forecasts Chinese iron-ore demand to rise 5% in 2014, compared to around 10% last year. The prospect for sluggish Chinese car sales, fewer new apartment buildings and diminished appetite for gadgets could further soften commodities demand. New supply from Australian mines could push prices lower.
Rio and Fortescue, which boast some of the lowest cost operations in the world, can continue to remain profitable even if prices fall, although a sharp pullback in prices could, of course, rattle the industry and batter earnings in the year ahead.
Companies like BHP Billiton have the advantage of being more diversified. Unlike other big mining companies, BHP derives around a third of its earnings from petroleum, which has provided a hedge against falling prices of other commodities.
Macquarie Private Wealth tips BHP, which reports its half-year earnings Tuesday, to post a net profit of $7.4 billion for the period, a jump from last year's result of $4.2 billion.

It's Official. We're Calling It "The Annex."
There was a bit of initial confusion. What would we call "the new space?"
Until recently, "the new space" was how we referred to our new warehouse and classroom facility in West Cambridge. Several names were bandied about in the shop, including FKO (in longform – Formaggio Kitchen Online), Formaggio Kitchen Mail Order, even Le Nouvel Espace, in keeping with our European roots. Eventually, however, FKA (Formaggio Kitchen Annex) or, as staff have come to style it, simply "The Annex," won out.
The Annex will accommodate our growing demand for classes and events, and allow us to further develop our mail order business. Continue Reading »

LEXINGTON, Ky. – The No. 13/10 Kentucky women's basketball team looks to send out its three seniors (Crystal Riley, Amber Smith and Keyla Snowden) on a winning note when the Wildcats play host to South Carolina on Thursday in their home finale. Game time in Memorial Coliseum is 7 p.m. ET.
The seniors will be recognized during a special "Senior Night" ceremony prior to the game.
The Wildcats (22-5, 11-3 Southeastern Conference) are looking for their school-record 12th SEC win and just the third undefeated home record in school history. UK is currently 17-0. The only other times the Wildcats went undefeated at home were in 1980-81 (15-0) and 2009-10 (17-0). The Wildcats, who are tied for first place in the SEC with Tennessee, also have their sights set on winning their first SEC regular season championship since 1982.
"Big, big game tomorrow night," UK Hoops Coach Matthew Mitchell said. "It's our final opportunity to play at Memorial [Coliseum] this season and that's special. The team has done a beautiful job this season playing at home and so we would love to use the home court to our advantage and play really hard against South Carolina on Senior Night. It'd be special. I'd love to send these seniors out with a win. The tough part about tomorrow night is that South Carolina, they are a very, very tough group of players. They are a well-coached team and, I think, one of the toughest defensive teams in the country. It will be very important for us to stay focused on what we need to do in order to win the game and we need a good day of preparation today. We just implore the fans to come out one more time for us this year. We need a big, big crowd to try to help us end this season right at home."
Leading the way for the Wildcats this season is junior All-America and SEC Player of the Year candidate A'dia Mathies (Louisville, Ky.). Mathies leads the team in almost every statistical category, including scoring (15.2), steals (2.7), 3-point field goals made (42) and 3-point field goal percentage (.375). She is also second on the team in rebounding (5.3), assists (2.7) and blocks (0.7). SEC Freshman of the Year contender Bria Goss (Indinapolis) follows in the scoring column with 11.6 points per game. She has scored in double digits in five of the last six games, and is the league's freshman leading scorer. Sophomore forward Samarie Walker (West Carrollton, Ohio) is coming off her first career double-double with 15 points and 12 rebounds vs. Vanderbilt. She is UK's leading rebounder with 6.4 rebounds per game.
South Carolina, which is tied for third in the SEC standings, enters Thursday night's game coming off a 69-55 victory at Alabama on Sunday night. The Gamecocks were led by senior guard La'Keisha Sutton who poured in a team-high 13 points while grabbing a team-high seven rebounds. Junior guard Ieasia Walker passed out a team-high four assists.
Senior guard Markeshia Grant is South Carolina's leading scorer, averaging 11.3 points per game. Sutton (10.1 ppg), is South Carolina's only other double-figure scorer. Freshman forward Aleighsa Welch leads the Gamecocks on the glass with 6.1 rebounds per game.
South Carolina has one of the top defenses in the conference, allowing an SEC-best 49.9 points per game to go with a 3-point field goal percentage defense of 20.8 percent.
Kentucky defeated South Carolina 66-58 earlier this season in Columbia, S.C. The Wildcats were led in that game by Snowden's team-high 15 points. Smith (Winter Haven, Fla.) passed out a season-high tying six assists in the win, and went 6-6 at the free-throw line in the final 49 seconds to help preserve the win.
This is the 48th meeting in the all-time series vs. South Carolina. UK owns a 29-18 lead overall, including a 17-5 advantage when the game is played in Lexington. UK has won the last three matchups vs. the Gamecocks in Memorial.
Single-game reserved tickets are available at a cost of $7 for all ages. General admission tickets for adults are also $7 while single-game general admission tickets for seniors and children (18 and under, 65 and over) are only $4. Age 5 and under are admitted free along with UK students, faculty and staff are admitted free, while supplies last.
If not able to attend the game, it can be heard on the UK IMG Sports Radio Network with Neil Price. Fans can also follow the UK Hoops team on Twitter at @UKHoopCats and use #UKHoops to comment on the game.

Why do hunters think it's a retail workers responsibility to make sure they get the right license? I witnessed a hunter a couple of days ago chewing out a sales clerk for supposedly selling him the wrong license . The hunter evidently had actually told the clerk the license he wanted but had asked for the wrong one. So whose fault is that? I see this alot in our society ,i.e. blaming others for our decisions. How many times do we say buy something then not read the manual/instructions then gripe about it not working right? In the above examaple per hunting I noticed FREE hunting manuals laying around the buisness and I imagine the disgruntled hunter shoud be able to afford that FREE Indiana Hunting Manual after all the money he had put into his Guns and such plus some of the time he spent in a tree stand or in a hunting blind could be put to use reading it.
It perturbs me when I hear things like a kid playing in his friends yard getting hurt then his parents suing the other parents basically because their kid was being well a kid. I could go on & on but you get what I mean.
The other day I seen a customer getting smart a**** with a retail worker. The Custome asked for a chair type object to put in his bed, well the customer actually wanted something more along the lines of a cushion type device which had a couple of extensions extending from it's sides. You know saying "chair" or "cushion" can give two very different ideas .
Good nite people when we ask for a service we have to communicate what we want,the provider can't read our minds. Honestly is it that hard not to be ignorant when you walk into a Mall,a Wal-Mart, a Target, a McDonalds or a True Value? Is it that hard not to show ignorance?
No replies?? It seems a pretty good subject,i.e. lack of acceptance of responsibility out there.

CORPUS CHRISTI - New York Collegiate Baseball League All-Star Jeramie Marek leads the notables among the members of the Texas A&M - Corpus Christi baseball team showing strong performances this summer. Marek, an alumnus of Calallen High School, has torn it up this summer with the Hornell Dodgers of the NYCBL.
Marek is hitting .327 through 31 games, scoring 20 runs and driving in 22. The second baseman has three doubles and a triple among his 36 hits, and has also drawn an impressive 18 walks. On the basepaths, he has been just as stellar, swiping 18 bags and being caught just four times. He will represent the West Division in the league's all-star game this week.
Marek isn't the only Islander having a strong season with the Dodgers, as Omar Garcia has a .307 average through 29 games of action. On the mound, Bryce Zak is 2-1 with a 2.86 ERA, striking out 43 batters in 34 2/3 innings, while Garrett Guys has made three appearances out of the bullpen for the team.
Two Islanders saw injuries cut short their trips to the Northwoods League. SeniorsJumpy Garcia and Bobby Buckner both suffered injuries and were shut down for the summer, though both are expected to recover in time for fall ball. Michael Boyle has struck out 13 men in 10 1/3 innings for the Waterloo Bucks of the NWL.
Another Islander having a strong summer on the mound is junior Trevor Foss. The Janesville, Wis., native has a 3-2 record with a 3.50 ERA while pitching for the Denver Cougars of the Rocky Mountain Baseball League. Foss has punched out 28 men in 26 innings.
For a complete list of all Islanders playing in summer baseball, go to our Islanders in Summer Baseball page.

ST. MARYS - The retrial of a Pleasants County man accused of killing an infant in 1981 has been moved to Morgantown.
Richard Alan Poore, formerly of St. Marys, was charged in 2006 in the 1981 death of 3-month-old Richard "Ricky" Allen Poore Jr. He was convicted June 20, 2008, and was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole on Jan. 14, 2009.
In November 2010, the West Virginia Supreme Court overturned the conviction, sending the case back to Pleasants County Circuit Court for further proceedings.
Tyler County Prosecutor Luke Furbee was appointed as a special prosecutor in the case in 2011. Furbee said Wednesday the retrial would be held in Morgantown, but declined to discuss any details concerning the case. Furbee said the change of venue was granted by a judge in response to the defendant's request, but said he would not comment further.
A new trial date has not yet been set, Furbee said.
In its statement in 2010, the high court ruled the prosecution made improper statements during the opening arguments.
They also said the circuit court did not hold an evidentiary hearing to determine if Poore's due process rights were violated in the 25-year delay between the alleged crime and the indictment.
Poore was charged with the death after the autopsy was completed by a new state medical examiner who determined the case was a homicide. Officials said the autopsy report was misplaced before it was completed and returned to law enforcement officials, causing the 25-year delay.
After the report was discovered, Pleasants County law enforcement re-examined the case. Prosecutors allege Poore killed his infant son by shaking him.

Kathleen Bell, M.D.
"I have learned that pessimism about recovery from brain injury usually is not warranted."
We interviewed six different specialists making fascinating breakthroughs in their field.
| July 2012
Head Trauma
Kathleen Bell, M.D.
"I have learned that pessimism about recovery from brain injury usually is not warranted."
Hayley Young
Kathleen Bell, M.D.
Specialties: Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
Practice and hospital affiliation: University of Washington Medical Center
Of note: Bell is the medical director of the Brain Injury Rehabilitation Program at the UW Medical Center—a position she has held for more than a decade—and is the director of the UW Traumatic Brain Injury Model System research program. She is also a professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation at the UW School of Medicine.
You treat patients who have suffered brain injury. What are your favorite success stories? I have learned that pessimism about recovery from brain injury usually is not warranted. One of my patients, an attorney who was severely brain injured after an assault, was unable to move, eat or speak for more than a year afterwards. Now, 10 years after her injury, multiple surgeries and treatment, she walks into the clinic and argues politics with me. While she will never totally recover, she has a satisfying and full life. Another patient was injured in a middle school football game and was in a coma for many months. With appropriate treatment, persistence and family support, he completed high school and is attending community college. He's in a power wheelchair part-time, but, of course, that means that he "walks" a lot faster than any of us can. —SHEILA CAIN
Thomas K. Takayama, M.D.
Specialty: Urology
Practice: Bellevue Urology Associates and Washington Urology Associates
Hospital affiliation: Overlake Hospital Medical Center and Evergreen Hospital and Medical Center
Of note: Takayama specializes in urologic cancer surgery, including robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy for treatment of prostate cancer and robotic kidney cancer surgery. He formerly served as associate professor of urology at the University of Washington School of Medicine. He is a board-certified member of the American Urological Association, Seattle Surgical Society and Society of Urologic Oncology.
What was your most surprising outcome? I remember a case [about four years ago] of a patient with extensive kidney cancer that had spread to the heart who underwent challenging surgery. I felt he had months to live. Over the years, he kept returning for follow-ups looking totally fine, without any residual cancer. It turns out he responded well to a brand-new drug that blocks cancer-cell growth [called Sutent]. I was so happy for him. I believe that the personal relationships between surgeons and their patients are key for assuring successful recovery and attaining optimum quality of life. I like to get to know my patients well and to follow them for years after their cancer surgery. —KAREN WEST
Richard Kozarek, M.D.
Specialty: Gastroenterology
Practice and hospital affiliation: Virginia Mason Medical Center
Of note: Kozarek is a regionally acknowledged gastroenterologist with a particular interest in pancreatic/biliary disorders as well as inflammatory bowel disease. He currently serves as a clinical professor at the University of Washington School of Medicine, and this year marks his 10th year on Seattle magazine's Top Doctors list.
How would you describe your typical patient? I see two major patient types: those with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's and ulcerative colitis), many of whom I have taken care of for 20 years, and those who need complex therapeutic endoscopic procedures. This may include taking stones out of a bile duct or pancreas, draining pancreatic cysts, or removing benign or early cancerous lesions from the GI tract.
Your approach to care often involves modifying behavior before considering medication or surgery. Any suggestions? Diet and exercise are tantamount to good health. Some things are simple to do: avoiding milk products in patients with lactose intolerance, and wheat and other grains in gluten-sensitive enteropathy. Others entail lifestyle changes. Stop smoking.
What led you to practice gastroenterology? Like many people, I had a mentor who convinced me that gastroenterology was a huge, continually evolving and interesting medical specialty. He was right. I continue to learn something every day. —S.C
William Likosky, M.D.
Specialties: Neurology and Vascular Neurology
Practice and hospital affiliation: Swedish Medical Center, Minor & James Medical
Of note: In addition to being actively involved in stroke research, Likosky serves as the medical director of the Stroke and TeleStroke programs at the Swedish Neuroscience Institute, and is a neurologist with Minor & James Medical.
Are there any therapies you've had a hand in pioneering? A novel approach to excise clots from blocked arteries using catheters based on advanced MRI imaging.…We [at the Swedish Neuroscience Institute] are now part of a large international study using desmoteplase, a new clot-busting agent.…We will soon be participating with our cardiologists and interventional radiologists to deliver stem cells to the brains of persons who have incurred a stroke to replace damaged brain tissue and improve functionality.
How have you seen telestroke—the practice of diagnosing stroke patients remotely through videoconferencing—used successfully? We recently had a 50-year-old man arrive at an outlying emergency department due to a sudden onset of paralysis and inability to speak. We were connected [to that emergency department] using telestroke. We recognized he would benefit from an immediate use of a clot-busting drug, but would also need his clot extracted by the use of a catheter. We had him airlifted to Swedish Medical Center, where we [removed] the clot. Once these steps were taken, he rapidly improved and has since returned to normal activities. —S.C.
Bonnie Ramsey, M.D.
Specialty: Pediatric Pulmonology
Practice and hospital affiliation: Seattle Children's Hospital
Of note: Ramsey is recognized as a national authority in pediatric pulmonology, with particular expertise in the treatment of the chronic lung disease cystic fibrosis (CF). She also serves as a professor of pediatrics at the University of Washington School of Medicine.
You recently worked on an exciting new treatment for CF. Can you explain? This last year, the clinical trials network I work with was involved in the development of Kalydeco—a pill cystic fibrosis patients take twice a day. The drug targets the underlying defect in CF—a genetic mutation—instead of just treating its symptoms. Right now, it works for about 5 percent of CF patients, but it could have a real significant impact.
One of your early CF patients recently participated in your Kalydeco study and has shown remarkable improvement. What was it like to see him again after more than 25 years? It was a very emotional experience for both of us. Rick is doing so well at age 50. When he was diagnosed, living to age 25 was considered a great success, and 50 was almost unheard of. In addition, Kalydeco had dramatically changed his life so that he is able to run and play with his kids and stay off IV antibiotics. I feel so blessed to have seen such a change in the overall survival and quality of life for patients with CF over the past 30 years. —S.C.
James S. Schneider, M.D., F.A.C.C.
Specialty: Cardiology
Practice: Eastside Cardiology Associates
Hospital affiliation: Evergreen Hospital Medical Center
Of note: Schneider specializes in diagnostic cardiology. He is former chairman of medicine at Evergreen Hospital and started the Nuclear Cardiology Department at Overlake Hospital Medical Center. He developed an expertise in nuclear cardiology after completing his master of science degree in nuclear engineering at MIT. He is board certified in cardiology, is a fellow of the American College of Cardiology, a clinical associate professor in the department of medicine at the University of Washington and a member of the American Heart Association.
What drew you to your specialty? I chose cardiology as my specialty because I enjoy seeing patients in the office long-term (I have followed some patients for over 30 years), and also helping with their emergencies in the hospital, especially stopping heart attacks with emergency balloon angioplasties and stents. Patients and the people I work with are the reasons I love my work.
What is the most satisfying aspect of your job? The honor to be able to take care of patients who face life-threatening illnesses and to help restore their lives both mentally and physically. —K.W.

What happened to "Fruitvale Station?"
It had all the right buzz. All the right cred. Even as recently as late fall, East Bay director Ryan Coogler's insightful feature-length debut about the life of Oscar Grant III, who was killed by a BART police officer in 2009, was seen as a strong Academy Awards contender in many categories -- for the moving performances of Michael B. Jordan, Octavia Spencer and Melonie Diaz, as well as best picture and director.
Yet as the Oscar nominations emerged Thursday, there was not so much as a nod.
Social media was not happy about this. "How in the world did Ryan Coogler not get a nomination as Best Director of #FruitvaleStation, Octavia Spencer either? Ridiculous," one Twitter user wrote.
Even the critics were dismayed.
"Having nominated nine films for best picture, surely the academy could have come up with a 10th in such a strong year. What a perfect way to honor 'Fruitvale Station,'" noted Washington Post critic Ann Hornaday.
When it opened in July, "Fruitvale" -- which was released last week on DVD -- had been a big part of the Oscar conversation with great reviews and the backing of Hollywood heavy-hitters such as Forest Whitaker and Harvey Weinstein. However, its absence from the BAFTA, Screen Actors Guild and Golden Globe nominations "demonstrated its weakness in the awards race," wrote critic Francisco Salazar of Latinos Post.
If nothing else, the journey of "Fruitvale" from standout Sundance Film Festival star and rise to motion picture to its complete fall from Oscar view serves as an object lesson in the capricious nature of Hollywood awards -- and the academy's short-term memory.
Historically, Oscar snubs are not unusual for midyear releases. "Fruitvale" opened in theaters five months before the traditional year-end push; for the academy, entire mountain ranges have formed in between. Of course, there are always exceptions; in 2012, "Beasts of the Southern Wild," which had been released in late June, bucked the trend and wound up in the Best Picture category and landed surprise nominations for its young actress and first-time director.
Despite the strong showing of "12 Years a Slave" in this year's nominations, the Oscars shunned other strong contenders with African-American themes and performances. "Lee Daniels' The Butler" opened Aug. 16 and was immediately praised, especially for performances by Forest Whitaker and Oprah Winfrey. Whitaker, Winfrey and the ensemble cast all picked up nominations for this year's SAG Awards, which will be held this weekend. But it got no recognition at the Golden Globes, which foreshadowed an inevitable fall from the Oscar radar.
Coogler could not be reached for comment Thursday, but he previously had said that he wasn't in it for awards. His motive was to tell the story of Grant as a flawed, family-loving, complex human being, and he succeeded at that with the deft handling of the incendiary case. On Jan. 1, Coogler joined Grant's family at the Fruitvale BART station to mark the fifth anniversary of Grant's death.

As experienced fleet managers know, preparing for harsh winter conditions means more than just tuning up trucks and plows. Winter training for operators and mechanics is also critical. That's why "snow school" programs are proving to be a wise investment for some cities and counties in cold-weather regions.
Canada gets its fair share of snow — 79 inches a year — and Wellington County, Ontario, Operations Manager Paul Johnson has done his part to help municipalities battle the elements. Since 2006, Johnson has worked with the Ontario Good Roads Association to develop and lead a winter training program for operators, patrollers, supervisors, and mechanics.
The association, founded in 1894, offered the first organized training for road building in Ontario. Among other services, the group established educational workshops for roads managers and their staffs on the construction and maintenance of roads and bridges.
However, while most municipalities in the region allocated 50% of their roads budgets to winter preparation, only 10% of their training budgets were initially geared toward winter operations. To address this disconnect, the association established its Snow School, with training packages developed by a committee of the Ontario Road Salt Management Group.
During the three-day Snow School students learn subjects such as salt management, pre-trip inspection, snow and ice control materials and techniques, plowing techniques, weather, and Road Weather Information Systems — followed by an exam.
Soon after the peer-reviewed courses began, organizers realized a key element was missing: training for mechanics. "Mechanics are the ones who keep everything running," says Johnson. "You can have the best equipment in the world, but if it's broken and no one can fix it, you're stuck."
The Snow School for Mechanics module was added, covering maintenance of spreaders, hydraulics, and other snow-fighting equipment. In 2011, it officially became a one-day course, as mechanics couldn't be away from work for three days.

Next Up For Bloomberg: Styrofoam Ban
First he banned smoking in bars and restaurants, then trans-fats, then large sugary drinks and now New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has his eyes set on Styrofoam.
"I am very upset with you," a caller, identified as Chris from Staten Island, told Bloomberg on the mayor's weekly radio show Friday morning.
"You're on a track to ban everything, and I'd like to know why do you feel that (way)? I mean, no other mayor is doing what you're doing. (Former Mayor Rudy) Giuliani would never ban everything."
Bloomberg, who has made public health a centerpiece of his tenure at City Hall, denied that his is administration is banning "everything", as Chris suggested.
"You can still buy cigarettes," the mayor replied. "We haven't banned that."
And the mayor said you can still buy large sugary drinks — you just have to buy them in smaller containers.
The mayor's ban on large sugary drinks, slated to take effect next month, prohibits restaurants and other establishments from selling sugary drinks in cups or containers larger than 16 ounces. On his radio show, Bloomberg pointed out that people who want to imbibe 32 ounces of a full-sugared drink merely need to buy two 16-ounce cups.
Opponents of the large sugary-drink ban are hoping to block the city from implementing this new regulation. A judge has yet to rule in the case.
As for smoking, the mayor reiterated, "You can't smoke where other people have to breathe the smoke, but you can still do that."
The mayor has often pointed to the smoking ban as one of the singular achievements of his administration, saying he doesn't know of anything else he will do that will save more lives. The proposal, approved in 2002 and enacted in 2003, was unpopular at first, but New Yorkers now support it.
More recently, the mayor, with the council's permission, has banned smoking altogether in parks, beaches, pedestrian plazas, such as Times Square, and marinas.
During his 12th and final State of the City address Thursday, the mayor announced an effort to ban polystyrene foam. The mayor needs the council to approve the proposal, and the council's leader, Speaker Christine Quinn, a close ally of the mayor and a presumed candidate for mayor this year, has said she is in favor of the initiative.
Bloomberg said he's following Styrofoam bans in other localities, specifically on the West Coast. He pointed out that the caller is from Staten Island, the home of Fresh Kills landfill, which the city has closed and is turning into a park.
"It's going to be 20 years before enough things biodegrade so that we can turn that (landfill) into a park. We never should have used Staten Island as a big dump," the mayor said. "Styrofoam, or polystyrene, does not degrade with time. It's just there forever, and it's not good for you, and it costs us a lot of money."
Bloomberg said the ban on Styrofoam is "good for everybody."
"So, we're not banning everything. We're just trying to have some intelligent things. It costs us money," he told the caller. "Chris, your tax bill is higher than it needs to be because we've got to go and take polystyrene out of the waste. So, you know, it's in your interest, too."

PARKERSBURG - A group of children worked on crafts they can give as gifts during a Sunday afternoon workshop at the Parkersburg Art Center.
Jessie Siefert, the art center's education coordinator, said the Christmas gift and craft workshop for children is an annual holiday program at the art center, geared for children in first through sixth grades.
During Sunday's workshop, the group of 22 children worked on six different craft projects, along with creating a Christmas card. The crafts included making pressed tin ornaments, decoupage vases, painting wooden ornaments and making decorative cone trees.

India Flores, 11, left, and London Flores, 8, of Boaz, work on decorative cone trees as a holiday crafts project at the Parkersburg Art Center.
"We organized the day like we do our summer camp programs, where we alternate two different classes," she said.
In addition to the periodically changing exhibits in the main galleries, art classes for children and adults are another of the main attractions at the art center, which is located at Eighth and Market streets in downtown Parkersburg.
Along with Sunday's holiday workshop, the art center has been offering free "Arty Parties" throughout the year. The current round of "Arty Parties" is continuing through the second weekend in February, with a break on Dec. 22 due to the Christmas holiday, Siefert said.
The parties run from 10 a.m.-noon and offer children ages 12 and under - accompanied by an adult - a chance to try different art activities.
Art center director Abby Hayhurst said the next group of art and craft classes for children and adults will begin in mid-February, but she is trying something new this year by offering one-day "Trial Size Classes" in January at a reduced cost.
Hayhurst said people have talked to her about being interested in trying something at the art center, but aren't certain of committing to a multi-week class in terms of time and money if they are not certain they will enjoy it. The new class is a chance for them to try new things without a big investment in time or money, she said.
Interested people can pre-register for the classes by calling the art center at 304-485-3859. All of the classes are $25 for members of the art center and $40 for non-members. There will be day and evening sessions for some classes, while others will be offered primarily in the evening.
The "trial size classes" for adults and high school students will include: Hand-built Mugs on Jan.. 10; Watercolor Basics on Jan. 15; Sculpey Funky Faces on Jan. 19; Pottery on the Wheel on Jan. 11 and 22; Drawing for the fun - Everyone can Draw! on Jan. 24 and 25; Stained Glass on Jan. 26; and Decoupaged backlit canvas (home decor) on Jan. 31.
The children's classes will include: Three dimensional design for grades 2 and up on Jan. 8; Canvas and cocoa (acrylic painting workshop) for grades 3 and up on Jan. 12; Handbuilt pottery for grades 1 and up on Jan. 16; Pottery on the wheel for grades 5 and up on Jan. 21; and Watercolor to collage for grades 5-12 on Jan. 31.

Kobe bryant for a few reasons
He is the player with the highest basketball IQ in the world (note i said player not person)
He is tough on his team mates when they do not perform and would be tough on his players if he coached
He always wants to learn so if he has a few bad seasons as a coach he will do whatever he can to improve his coaching style etc
He has won championships as a player so he knows what its like and the power a team needs to have in order to get into that position
He was coached by phil jackson his whole career, he is bound to have learnt some of his coaching methods
He knows how a player needs to practice to become great, how many hours you need to put in
So thats why i think Kobe Bryant may be the nba player who is the best coach
I agree, Nash could def. be the best coach in the future, he's so talented in coaching.
Thanks for the input guys.I think Shane Battier is a very interesting point.He would be a good coach,and i think Chauncey Billups and Derek Fisher would be also
i know you guys will think im crazy for saying this,but LUKE WALTON of los angeles lakers could be a good coach. he has studied the triangle offense to perfection and when he's injured and not playing he's always sitting next to phil jackson. phil even said that luke has the iq to even be a head coach.
See, thats a good one, people dont get that good players usually turn out as bad coaches because they arent in a position to see much outside of themselves, and they dont understand how to deal with certain types of players, and how to develop certain types of players. Luke Walton, is a role-player who watches how his team comes together and who does what,while learning under a coach. Pointguard1995,not only do you NOT sound crazy, you probably chose the best pick for future coach.
LeBron would be a terrible coach!!! How can you even think that? Sure he's a great player but hes more of the type where he takes things into his own hands. Look at Michael Jordan. He coached and came back to playing again. LeBron would do the same thing. A good coach would probably be either Rajon Rondo or Paul Pierce. I'm not saying that because i'm a Celtics fan, but Rajon Rondo can definitely guide a team. Paul Pierce can encourage people and make the right decisions.
some examples of good players turned bad coaches are isiah thomas and magic johnson. magic was so bad that he quit 12 games after becoming coach.isiah is so bad that he's now coaching a mid-major college team.But some role-players in the past (scott skiles,scott brooks,doc rivers etc) are now some of the best coaches in the league.
D Fish
He Knows the Triangle offense like the back of his hand. He has a huge basketball IQ, so does kobe.
He is a great leader. I dont think kobe could be a good head coach, maybe an assistant or a scout.
Kobe is the reason why the lakers have artest and Barnes now. He would be a good assistant for Fisher.
But Fisher is a huge part of why the lakers won 2 straight titles, with his leadership and clutch shots.

I think Kobe.
Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.
- Kevin Durant
I say Steve Nash. He seems to be a student of the game and as a player he makes everyone around him better.
Steve Nash.
I don't have to point out anything. We all know he would be fantastic.
I think Kobe Bryant is really a superstar but only when he is a player. A good coach? I dont think so!
