Internet tools for managing meals
Wed, July 23, 2008 @ 4:57PM
It’s amazing the things that are available on the Internet that help with managing meals and meal planning. Inevitably, the most difficult decisions we make on a daily basis involve what to prepare for our meals. More time is spent worrying about what we eat than is spent planning our financial future. But there are places out there in the Web world that can help. Once such place is www.mealsmatter.org. This Web site has many tools available for meal planning, recipe storage and tips on diet and nutrition. You simply need to register, with nothing more than your name and e-mail address, as well as creating a unique password to enable you to get to the information you input onto your meal planning list and shopping lists. You can choose to receive a monthly newsletter about health and nutrition or you can opt out. I find this tool extremely convenient for meal planning. The site offers a page for listing three meals each day for a week.

A run on copper
Fri, July 18, 2008 @ 4:02PM
Not that this is new news, but this week the theft of copper pipes seems more pronounced than usual, especially on the West Side, where I've typed in at least three or four briefs about someone finding pipes gone and a basement full of water. The common thread is a vacant home. Once of those pop up, you can just fill in the date and time on the police report for a break in. I've asked around to see if the latyest uptick on the West Side are all isolated incidents or part of one big ring, but no one seems to know yet. Although this does not seem like a big deal, the number of people arrested on burglary and breaking and entering charges clogs the court system and backs up more important cases. Just when this epidemic ends is unclear -- probably as soon as the price of copper begins to go down.

DVD recommendation: "Be Kind Rewind'
Mon, July 21, 2008 @ 11:32AM
I wasn’t sure what to expect from “Be Kind Rewind.” The reviews were mostly positive but seemed to be filled with faint praise. I missed the press screening and never got around to catching it during its brief theatrical run this winter, but I was curious to see it, mainly because I loved director Michel Gondry’s “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.” I figured it would be one of those Netflix choices I’d watch by myself. But when the kids heard Jack Black was in it, they were curious to see it. My wife – who’s been known to give me a look that translates to, “What possibly made you decide to bring this home?,” at some of my DVD choices– also decided to watch. I was apprehensive, because when I can tell someone else isn’t enjoying a movie, it can color my own viewing experience.

A few twists
Fri, July 11, 2008 @ 12:09PM
There are a few changes in the way the Browns are approaching training camp this year. The first thing you might have noticed is that the first day of camp is on a Wednesday (July 23). The Browns usually open on a Friday, but the earlier opening is because the Browns open the preseason on a Thursday (Aug. 8 at home against the New York Jets) instead of a Saturday. NFLPA rules don't allow veterans to begin camp until at least 15 days before the first preseason game. The Thursday game makes the Wednesday start of camp possible. Camp will end sooner this year. Last year camp didn't end until the Wednesday after the second preseason game. This year it will end Saturday, Aug. 16, two days before the second preseason game Monday night at the New York Giants. Another noticeable change is that the Browns will have nine two-day sessions instead of the seven in previous years. The idea seems to be to sandwich more practice time in a shorter time span.

Take a deep breath, Doby
Fri, July 18, 2008 @ 3:42PM
I’m using this blog to say so long to a storied employee of the Trib. Steve Oravecz is leaving, as today is his last day. I also want to share a comment I received about him, but that will come lower in this column. Steve has been here more than 25 years, since 1981. He has held almost every position in the newsroom, from staff writer to editorial page editor, to copy desk chief to politics editor. He has been dedicated all these years to gathering and presenting the news for the residents, and readers, in the area. Now, to the comment I mentioned earlier. I received a letter earlier this week from Warren Councilman-at-large Bob “Doby” Dean. Here it is: “We will surely miss you Tony Snow ä sorry, Stephen Oravecz, you arenát even close. “I never met Tony Snow, I hear from all those who he touched he always had a gleam in his eye and a warm "How Ya Doin'" as he greeted everyone.
