Nursing Homes
Nursing homes, also known as skilled nursing facilities, care for individuals who require 24-hour nursing supervision.
There are two types of care provided in nursing homes:
- Skilled Care (also known as "sub-acute" or "Medicare occupancy")
- Long-Term Care (also known as "Intermediate Care")
Skilled Care entails services that can be rendered only by a doctor, licensed nurse, physical therapist, occupational therapist, speech and language therapist, social worker or respiratory therapist. It usually follows a hospital visit involving a short-term stay, during which the patient receives nursing care and/or therapy until he or she is stable enough to return home. Due to the skilled nature of the care, it is covered by Medicare and secondary insurance for up to 100 days. Beyond that length of time, it must be paid for privately.
Long-Term Care is appropriate for the individual who can no longer take care of him or herself and will continue to require a high level of care for the remainder of his or her lifetime. Such care may include help with any "activity of daily living," such as bathing, dressing, transferring (moving from one place to another), toileting, eating and walking. Medicare does not cover this type of care. However, when the individual's financial resources are exhausted, the state-funded source (Medicaid) will supplement the cost. If the nursing home does not accept state funding, you must find another long-term care facility that will. Unfortunately, most nursing homes have waiting lists for people entering the facility under state funding. Planning ahead with an appropriate strategy may help the patient and family avoid these conflicts.
How do I know which nursing home to choose?
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the government agency that administers these medical-assistance programs, has developed a database of information on every Medicare- and Medicaid-certified nursing home in the country, including more than 17,000 nationwide.
To help people search for a nursing home that meets their needs, the CMS has developed Nursing Home Compare, an interactive tool that allows Medicare beneficiaries and their caregivers to compare information among all the nursing homes on the list. Nursing Home Compare enables you to search for nursing homes based on:
- Nursing home characteristics such as number of beds, type of ownership and whether or not the nursing home participates in Medicare, Medicaid or both.
- Resident characteristics including percent of residents with pressure sores, percent of residents with urinary incontinence and more.
- Summary information about nursing homes based on their last state inspection (periodic inspections by state licensing agencies are required for Medicaid certification).
- Information on the number of registered nurses, licensed practical or vocational nurses and nursing assistants in each nursing home.
What do I look for in a nursing home?
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the agency that administers Medicare and Medicaid, also certifies individual nursing homes for inclusion in these government medical-assistance programs. The CMS has developed a detailed checklist for rating different nursing homes visited based upon:
- Quality of Life
- Quality of Care
- Nutrition and Hydration
- Safety
The Nursing Home Checklist (Adobe Acrobat Reader is required to view this file.) is a useful tool when you are investigating possible homes and want to keep track of the capabilities and characteristics of each home you visit. It guides you through a point-by-point review of every aspect of a nursing home, from basic information about Medicare or Medicaid certification and special services offered to the comfort and attractiveness of furnishings (in other words, if your combined income and financial assets fall within certain limits). The categories the checklist makes note of include:
- Basic information about the facility
- Resident appearance
- Living spaces
- Staff
- Residents' rooms
- Hallways, stairs, lounges and bedrooms
- Menus and food
- Activities
- Safety and care
How do I pay for nursing home care?
- Medicare: Under certain limited conditions, Medicare will pay some nursing home costs for Medicare beneficiaries who require skilled nursing or rehabilitation services. To be covered, you must receive the services from a Medicare certified skilled nursing home after a qualifying hospital stay. A qualifying hospital stay is the amount of time spent in a hospital just prior to entering a nursing home. This is at least three days. To learn more about Medicare payment for skilled nursing home costs, contact your Medicare Fiscal Intermediary or the State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) in your State.
- Medicaid: Medicaid is a State and Federal program that will pay most nursing home costs for people with limited income and assets. Eligibility varies by State. Check your State's requirements to learn if you are eligible. Medicaid will pay only for nursing home care provided in a facility certified by the government to provide service to Medicaid recipients. For more information about Medicaid payments, call the SHIP for your State or call your State's Medicaid office. The telephone number is in the blue pages of the phone book.
- Personal Resources: About half of all nursing home residents pay nursing home costs out of their own savings. After these savings and other resources are spent, many people who stay in nursing homes for long periods eventually become eligible for Medicaid.
- Managed Care Plans: A managed care plan will not help pay for care unless the nursing home has a contract with the plan. If the home is approved by your plan, learn if the plan also monitors the home for quality of nursing care.
- Medicare Supplemental Insurance: This is private insurance. It's often called Medigap because it helps pay for gaps in Medicare coverage such as deductibles and co-insurances. Most Medigap plans will help pay for skilled nursing care, but only when that care is covered by Medicare. Some people use employer group health plans or long-term care insurance to help cover nursing home costs.
- Long-Term Care Insurance: This is a private policy. The benefits and costs of these plans vary widely. For more information on these plans, contact the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). It represents state health insurance regulators and has a free publication called "A Shopper's Guide to Long-Term Care Insurance." You also can get a copy of the Guide to Health Insurance for People with Medicare by calling 1-800-MEDICARE.
- Counseling and Assistance: SHIPs have counselors who might be able to answer your questions about how to pay for nursing home care, the coverage you may already have, or whether there are any government programs that will help with your expenses.

SKF Cuts 2,500 Jobs to Reduce Costs Amid Weakening Demand
Janina PfalzerSKF AB, the world's largest maker of bearings, will cut about 2,500 jobs and move production from western Europe to faster-growing countries to help save 3 billion kronor ($464 million) and offset flagging demand.
"Demand weakened as we went through the fourth quarter and we expect it to continue at this lower level at the beginning of this year," Chief Executive Officer Tom Johnstone said in a statement. "Manufacturing was therefore reduced more than planned to reflect this."
The cornerstones of the program include the transfer of production from western Europe to eastern Europe, Asia and Latin America to serve those markets with more local production and a reduction in purchasing costs, mainly through supplier standardization and rationalization, Gothenburg-Sweden based SKF said. The total cost of 1.5 billion kronor for the program will be booked between 2012 and 2015, the company said.
SKF is a barometer for global industrial demand as its products are used by customers in the construction, automotive and aviation businesses. SKF on June 13 announced a cut of 400 jobs in Germany due to weaker development in western Europe and Asia. Third-quarter net income declined to 1.23 billion kronor from 1.6 billion kronor a year earlier while the margin on earnings before interest and taxes declined to 12.4 percent from 15 percent, the company said Oct. 17.
Voluntary Solutions
The stock rose 0.4 percent to 162.90 kronor as of 1:15 p.m. in Stockholm, valuing the company at 74.2 billion kronor. The shares have added 7.5 percent over the last 12 months, compared with a 12 percent increase in the OMX Stockholm 30 Index.
The new cuts are an expansion of a program unveiled in October 2010 when SKF, which now employs about 46,000 people, set new financial targets, including a goal of reaching an operating margin of 15 percent and reducing fixed costs. The main focus of the reductions will be in early retirements and other voluntary solutions, the company said today. The restructuring is necessary if SKF is to achieve its margin target again, Nordea Bank analyst Andreas Koski said today in a note to clients.
Exceptional Productivity
"In 2010 to 2011 when the Ebit margin exceeded 15 percent in some quarters, it was due to exceptional productivity that is not expected to be repeated with the current structure of SKF," he said. "But with today's announced savings, it could become a reality again."
Demand for the industrial part of the company's business weakened in Europe, North America and Asia, while automotive demand faltered in Europe, spokeswoman Ingalill Oestman said by phone. The production shift may involve closing down entire plants or just moving some manufacturing, Oestman said. SKF may also opt to sell some businesses, she said. The company will disclose which units are affected after talking to employees first.
SKF will book restructuring costs of 200 million kronor in the fourth quarter and book 100 million kronor in impairments and writedowns of assets. In a first step, some 550 people will be affected, mainly in the Ukraine, Italy, Sweden and the U.S., SKF said.

Model T "Coil Over" Rear Shocks Help Needed
I have two "Coil Over Shocks" used for the rear suspension on my 27 T Touring project. I have a problem, and would like your suggestions on fixing it before I proceed.
I purchased the 27' as someone else's project, and it included two sets of the coil over shocks. I installed them yesterday and thought it sat a little high unloaded. I climbed into the front seat to enjoy a cold beer, and think about what it will be like to actually drive it someday.. The problem I have is the Body will easily lean several inches from side to side with my weight (190lbs) because of the rear susp. Any idea's on how I can fix this??? I would expect it to be very firm. Thanks, Bud email@example.com

I went with Carrera coilovers on my project. Bought them from Speedway. Your springs may be to soft and too tall. Give Speedway a call, you will need to know the approximate weight of your vehicle when finished and the weight that will be riding over the rear axle.
http://www.speedwaymotors.com/xq/asp...qx/Product.htm |
First thing I would do is to relocate the upper mounts so the spring are vertical..try it again and you may find you need some stiffer springs..
Hopefully the shocks are adjustable so you can match shock valving to the spring rate..Takes a bit of twiddling to get the suspension right..you will not know completely until you can drive the car.. Sam
I have tried most all of it and now do what is known to work.. |
Several inches? Those must be very low rate springs. Since you already have them mounted, I wouldn't bother changing the mounts. Doesn't hurt to have them angled and most people like the look. Looks like they're at about 30 degrees, so if you had 250 pound per inch springs (which would probably be a pretty good starting point), the effective rate would be the cosine of 30 degrees times 250 or 217 pounds per inch. Still not bad on such a light car.
You'll need a Panhard, of course. |
Before you get hurt, I had to jump in here. The coilovers you have on the car are not really coilovers, they are overload shocks. Someone has gone the cheap route and gone to Autozone and bought these. They are not made to soley support a car, but simply to suppliment existing springs, like leaf springs.
The angle is perfect, on a street driven car you want them angled (drag cars go straight up and down, but you want some angle on a street driven car for lateral support.......helps control side sway) What you need to do is go to SPeedway, or someplace else and order a proper set of coilovers and toss these out, They are in no way made to support an automobile, and will break and get you hurt or killed. I know I said I would never post again, but I just couldn't stand to see you heading down a path that might get you injured or worse. Don PS: Yes, you also need a panhard bar or watts linkage to control side to side motion. Ask the tech guys at the place you buy them for assistance in the spring rate, etc. Buying someone elses unfinished project requires that you really go over every part of the car to undo some of the mickey mouse things he may have done. You are being smart in asking these questions. |
Thanks for the Information....
Thats why I like this website so much, you guys always have so much information available...
I was afraid the shocks may have been wrong, now I see why I got two sets for free.. I do business with speedway, and will take your advice and contact them with my vehicle spec's to get the right product for my application. Thanks again, Bud |
I'm afraid, however, that your "side sway" comment is a popular misconception. The Panhard controls lateral motion of the axle assembly relative to the chassis (side sway). The shocks and springs are often angled in production cars for packaging reasons, but it's the Panhard (or control arms in an IRS) and the rates at the tire patches which determine what the chassis is going to do in a corner. But, as I inferred in my earlier post, I like the looks of the angled coilovers. |
Angled coilovers vs straight up and down are one of those controverial subjects that no one seems to have the correct/only answer to. I have just always leaned them in because that's the way I was taught, and if you look at virtually every commercially available hot rod chassis, they are all angled. So there must be something to it.
On my drag car I ran them straight, but primarily because the narrowed rear axle doesn't give you any room for angled mounting. Would it hurt to mount them straight on the street? Probably not, but since he is already set up for angled, all he really needs to do is make sure the mounts are well done and put proper coilovers on the car, and the panhard or watts, and he will be fine. Your points are well taken, though. Here is how I mounted them on my '39 Dodge. I would have gone a little steeper on the angle, but there was no room to do so. Don |
Follow up
Forgot to mention:
I am running a Four-Bar set up with a Panhard bar running from the drivers side of the frame to the rear diff. This set up looks very sturdy and was purchased as a set (Not homemade) Bolted it all together with grade 8. I see several ad's for the Panhard bar being short or long... What are the pro's and con's to the length? Bud |
Don't know if I can clear up this angled coilover confusion or not, but I'm stupid enough to give it a try:
Suppose you replaced each of the angled coilovers with a horizontal coilover and a vertical coilover. If angling does anything for us, we're now free to play with any value of horizontal spring rate and thus simulate virtually any angle. But, the horizontal spring doesn't affect vertical forces at all! We can use any horizontal spring we like and the vertical rates at the tire patches remain the same. As you go through a corner, it is the couple generated by the vertical coilovers that will resist the couple generated by the inertial force acting through the center of gravity. Since the two horizontal coilovers have the same line of action, they cannot contribute any couple at all. If I was a supplier of aftermarket chassis, I might have a couple of reasons for angling the coilovers. One would be that matter of the bottom line. If I don't angle them, someone is going to buy from a competitor because he angles them. Why risk loss of sales when it doesn't make any difference? The other reason is that I might need the angle to get the proper shock absorber travel. http://home.earthlink.net/~whshope |
I am building my 3rd T bucket and have used these shocks on every one. with a 165lb spring and they are angled just like yours.

New possibilities for your work and creativity
If you're a designer, engineer or modeller, a 3D printer helps you physically realise your creations. Whether you're looking for rapid prototyping or just want to make your own toys and models, you can easily create physical objects from nothing more than plans or CAD drawings.
Quick and easy
It's faster and easier than you imagine to build 3D object from your screen. Once the design is in place just choose the quality you need and press print.
The Robox uses Fused Filament Fabrication, which works like a hot-melt glue gun. Digitally controlled heads layer the material to create three-dimensional parts and objects.
There are lots of colours and materials available (sold separately), so you can choose the right one for your model or project.
AutoMaker software helps you create
AutoMaker software works with the 3D Printer to help translate your 3D design into a printable object by 'slicing' the 3D model into layers, then sending the information to the printer for output.
You can also use this software to lay out your models, check printer status and adjust settings. It's available for free on Windows, OS X and Linux.
Clear, quality 3D printing
The Robox's simplicitylets you focus on design rather than making constant adjustments to get results.
Default settings allow even novice users to achieve great results, while advanced users get full control for highly complex models.
A removable dual head nozzle makes maintenance and adjustment simple, and the machine also offers automatic material recognition and bed levelling to achieve consistency without hassle.

On Monday evening, come to the parkland and enjoy yourself!
It's rare that I get to combine my politics and my storytelling. This Monday evening, come and see a glimpse of the park we'll be losing if the politicians in Rhode Island cave in and sell us out. And be entertained by the What Cheer Brigade, Len Cabral, and myself! (among others.)
Click here for info about the Facebook Page for Act Like You Own The Place Event – THIS Monday at 5pm
This op-ed appeared in the Providence Journal
It's about the foolish giveaway of public land by a legislature greedy for "success" at all costs — as long as those are paid by taxpayers and citizens.
"Perhaps there is something in the water on Smith Hill that infects speakers of the Rhode Island House of Representatives with hubris. Perhaps it's a side effect of suddenly being called "the most powerful politician in Rhode Island."

Latest News From Thailand Super Series

Latest News From Thailand Super Series
There is now a little under three months remaining until the next round of Thailand Super Series (TSS) â and this event will represent the bright dawning of a new chapter for Thai racetracks as the championship moves eastwards to the brand new Buriram United International Circuit the likes of which has never been seen here before.
A new circuit, built to exacting world class standards, the dramatic Buriram project promises to offer Thai motorsport a world class platform with which to move forward and last Thursday the Racing Spirit organisational team visited the now almost completed track and facilities as the preparations for the next round on the calendar get underway.
And everyone was certainly very impressed with the work accomplished. TSS Race Director Khun Preeda Tantemsapya led the delegation to Buriram and he reckoned the new track will be a superb venue for all the stakeholders in Thailand's premier racing series who will make the trip in early November, the drivers, the teams and the fans.
The first McLaren racecar to touch wheels in Thailand is now just days away arriving. Khun Indharasak Techaterasiri, who this year has switched away from campaigning Lamborghinis to become an official agent for McLaren GT, the special division that builds the racing sportscars, is bringing the new machine here. But there is a twist to the story, the McLaren GT Sprint is a brand new machine built by the English factory and itâs set to slot straight into Super Car Class 2-GTM where it will be looking to shake up the established order.
Last week a meeting reserved for drivers and teams competing in TSS Super Car Class 1-GT3 and TSS Super Car Class 2-GTM this year was held at Don Muangâs Miracle Grand Convention Center Hotel to fine tune the direction of the regulations for the remainder of the season. The primary focus was to tweak the âsuccess ballastâ rules for this year.

Finally, after a slightly quiet start to the season by its own very high standards, Super 2000 really burst into life at Bira last month with two action packed and explosive races. When the dust had settled there was a fairytale ending â a double win for Khun Jack Lemvard and Vattana Motorsport on their return to the top domestic touring car championship. This very successful pairing was back in business in some style, and all with a new mount in the stable, a BMW E90.
Buriram becomes an exciting reality
Last Thursday morning the steady build up to the next round of TSS really started to crank up the gears as a delegation from Racing Spirit visited the now almost complete Buriram United International Circuit to take a first look at this highly impressive new facility and kick off preparations for November's event.
Impressive is certainly the word. The track is currently just two months away from seeing its inaugural competitive action while a month later TSS will visit here for the first time. The circuit layout is mostly completed, the tarmac has all been laid, while the huge grandstand and all the supporting facilities are now being fleshed out to completion.
The circuit is the work of well known Formula 1 track designer Khun Hermann Tilke and it blends a real mix of three long high-speed straight sections with several shorter straights and many consecutively flowing turns and twists, most of which will be taken at high speeds.
Rising above the sprawling circuit layout is the massive centerpiece grandstand; it will also house all the trackâs supporting functions â such as the race control, media room, VIP areas, management offices and driver briefing room â within its vast confines. The ground level, meanwhile, is given over to the garages while the pitlane will offer a world-class sized apron. From the grandstandâs steep inclined banks of seats spectators will be able to see the whole of the track as well as the pitlane action unfolding directly below.
"It's nice at last to see a track of this calibre in Thailand," commented TSS Race Director Khun Preeda Tantemsapya who led the delegation to Buriram. "Having this track in Thailand is amazing, we should be very proud of what they have done and intend to do."
All aspects of the facility impressed him. "Many things were way above what I expected," Khun Preeda admitted. "They have had professional help from Tilke to create the track, to specify what they need to use and it looks like they have the best money can buy.
"It's now the best [circuit] Thailand has, but really there are none that are comparable," he continued. "It's way out of what we are used to and it's going to be a big leap for our motorsport."
Khun Preeda also reckons that the distance from Bangkok to Buriram isn't going to be so much of an issue as this track will offer so much. He also sees it quickly becoming a recognisable international fixture and going from strength to strength. "It will attract a lot of foreign participants in the future, as well as all the Thai drivers."
He's also pleased for TSS fans that are planning to make the journey in November as they will have excellent viewing opportunities. "The track is nice as you can see pretty much the whole track from the grandstand and having the pitlane beneath the grandstand will bring another dimension for the spectators who will see everything happening at close range. This will create a lot better understanding."
The first visit to Buriram by TSS was all about grasping the bigger picture, while at the same time getting a detailed understanding of the facility that will allow the Racing Spirit team to start planning and preparing for November's event. That went right across the delegation which included staff responsible for organisation, management, technical, scrutineering, safety, public relations and marketing.
Khun Preeda is certain that everyone involved with TSS is going to enjoy the trip eastwards. "We came to see with our own eyes so today is the reality," he says. "The whole picture came into reality and I think itâs not only going to be us, the racers already feel the same, the mechanics and teams are all excited and it's going to be great for the new spectators who will come and what TSS has to offer."
Khun Preeda was quick to pay tribute to the hard work that the Buriram team clearly has put in to turn this ambitious dream into a tangible reality in such a short period of time and he was happy with the input and support received during the visit.
"Even Khun Nevin [Chidchob] came and wanted us to feel at home and welcome in his place and he's there to listen, he's very much an open minded person. So with the cooperation of the team he has I'm sure we will have a great race here."
There is just under three months to go until TSS makes its first visit to Buriram. It's a big break in the middle of the calendar certainly, but now the big countdown to the next event is really â officially â underway. As are the preparations.
Super Car gets set for McLaren invasion
The first McLaren racecar to reach the shores of Thailand is now well on its way here and is in fact due to arrive at Laem Chabang Port in just a few days time. There's a twist to the story too as itâs one of the British sportscar brandâs new 12C GT Sprint machines and so will be joining Super Car Class 2-GTM and that's going to shake up an order which is already in the process of being shaken up.
The first McLaren racer to come to Thailand, seen here prior to departure.
This is step one in an ambitious plan to establish the McLaren brand in Thai motorsport that is being driven by one of the leading racers here, Khun Indharasak Techaterasiri and his âUnity Autoâ company. He's the 2012 Super Car N/A champion and is regarded as having set the ball rolling on the recent influx of Lamborghini Gallardos into Thai racing. And he's set to repeat that all over again, this time with McLaren, one of the most emotive and successful names in motorsport history.
It all kicked off with him visiting the UK factory earlier this year and then driving a McLaren 12C GT3 during the TSS season opener at Sepang in May and it has since mushroomed into Khun Indharasak becoming an official agent for the English brand's âGTâ racing division here.

Now, while heâs waiting for a brand new McLaren GT3 racecar to arrive to propel him back into the Super Car Class 1-GT3 fight, Khun Indharasak's full attention has turned to the firmâs latest track creation, the 12C GT Sprint.
The 12C GT Sprint, which is brand new, aims to sit in the middle of this supercarâs âfamilyâ. Primarily designed as an âultimate track day toyâ, it reworks the production MP4-12C package in every area for the track, but itâs not as extreme as the 12C GT3 racer. Itâs designed to match the level of the Ferrari 458 Challenge, Lamborghini Gallardo Super Trofeo and Porsche 997 GT3 Cup, although it doesnât yet have its own âone makeâ series, so will be a perfect fit for Super Car Class 2-GTM.

However McLaren GT, the division responsible for building the racing sportscars, developed this project so it means the 12C GT Sprint is comfortably attuned to racetrack life. Khun Indharasak also explains itâs a necessity, as any McLaren GT agent is required to have at least one GT3 car and one GT Sprint.
However he also reports plenty of interest here in the package, which has already created international attention. The 12C GT Sprint is â literally â brand new, making its show debut earlier this year and there have been just few international media test drives so far. However the motorsport journalists that have sampled the car have been highly impressed and compared it very favourably to the benchmark Porsche.

The 12C GT Sprint retains the same 616bhp 3.8-litre twin turbo V8 engine and transmission specifications as the production car with the main changes revolving around racetrack-focused improvements to the aerodynamics, including a front diffuser, new front bumper and bonnet with air vents, as well as dive plates and a big rear wing, a new engine cooling system that incorporates the radiator from the GT3 car and reworked suspension that is lowered by 40mm and electronically retuned.
There are also 19-inch centre locking wheels and carbon ceramic brakes as well as mandatory tow hooks and kill switches. Inside, the cockpit the 12C GT Sprint has been stripped out and there are race application toggle switches, an FIA-approved roll cage, a plumbed-in fire extinguisher system and a composite seat with 6-point harness. Thanks to the addition of safety equipment and the already trim weight of the MP4-12C, despite gutting unnecessary items such as the infotainment system and soundproofing, the 12C GT Sprint still weighs in at around 1434 kg. Interestingly, the 12C GT Sprint retains the road versionâs innovative âBrake Steerâ system and 'Proactive Chassis Controlâ (PCC) suspension, features that have been ditched by the 12C GT3.

Of note is the news that, while the first 12C GT Sprint is due to arrive here in a few days time, Khun Indharasak has actually ordered three examples in total and he says âat least twoâ will be headed for Super Car Class 2-GTM. Along with his new GT3 version, that could mean at least three McLarens on the entry list at the season closer on the streets of Bangsaen in December. Itâs a big commitment in a very short period of time and just like he is associated with making the Gallardo the numerically strongest top level racecar here, Khun Indharasak is now going to do the same for the McLaren brand. But this time heâs taking it all a step further as an official agent and putting a customer support structure in place. With a clear strength in connecting drivers with racecars it will be interesting to see just how far this project will go in the future. Certainly though Thai race fans will also be winners as the McLaren name comes to TSS.
Mid year tweaks regulation tweaks
A special meeting for drivers and teams competing in TSS Super Car Class 1-GT3 and TSS Super Car Class 2-GTM was held at the Miracle Grand Convention Center Hotel last week to fine tune the direction of the regulations for the remainder of the year.
With half the season, four races, now completed the main focus of the meeting was to assess and analyse as well as to draw opinions and conclusions surrounding the new rules governing the addition of extra âsuccess ballastâ after races, which have been implemented this year.
With the overall direction of the regulations for 2014 being agreed before the start of the season, and the year being now well underway, the meeting was focused on tweaking the format, rather than introducing any big and sweeping changes.
With input and agreement from stakeholders present, âsuccess ballastâ will now be capped at 50 kg maximum and proportioned after each race in the following increments, 30 kg for first place, 20 kg for second place and 10 kg for third place. Super Car Class 2-GTM will adopt this to fall into line with Super Car Class 1-GT3.
These weights will now be rolled out for the new Super Car Class 3-GTC, which debuted at Bira Circuit, meaning there will be a more simplified common approach across the three âSuper Carâ categories.
In Super Car Class 1-GT3 homologation requirements will strictly remain adhering to FIA homologation for the GT3 cars â such as in the area of transmissions â in the pursuit of fairness and equality across the board. However TSS, will now open up one area, bodywork.
âBody parts for Class 1-GT3 cars can now be made as replacement parts,â explains TSS Race Director Khun Preeda Tantemsapya, who chaired the meeting, which was opened by TSS President Sontaya Kunplome. âBut they have to be to a similar weight and to the exact dimensions and specification of the original FIA homologated parts.â
With exposed composite body parts â such as front wings, splitters, dive plates, spoilers and bumpers â often bear the brunt of impacts and even relatively minor contact can involve changing a lot of expensive components that often cannot be repaired, while these replacement parts also have to be imported.
That will however be the only area to deviate from the FIA homologation rules for GT3 specification cars this season, Khun Preeda confirms. âEverything else apart from body parts have to be FIA homologated, âhe says. âFor example some teams asked if the exhaust or the radiator could be remade, but we will stick with FIA homologation for all these parts.â
Dream return in Super 2000
The second round of TSS at Bira Circuit last month saw many big stories involving top drivers at the wheel of state of the art racecars. And certainly one of those big stories to stand right out was the return of Khun Jack Lemvard and Vattana Motorsport to the cutthroat world of Super 2000. It was a dramatic return that in the end netted an impressive two wins from the two races â this driver and team were back with a real bang in Thailandâs top championship reserved for touring cars.
A couple of weeks beforehand however this scenario wasnât even in play, Khun Jack was far away in Europe, out of sight and cockpit-rusty having been away from racing for almost year, while Vattana Motorsportâs shiny new BMW E90 was sitting in the companyâs lavish Petchaburi Road showroom almost forgotten as the team pumped up its participation in Super Car Class 1-GT3 to unprecedented new levels.
Then, literally overnight, that all changed. Khun Jack received a phone call from Vattana Motorsport Team Manager Khun Santi Sukcharoenkijkul to inform him that Team Owner Khun Chonsawat Asavahame had called him up to blood the new BMW E90 at Bira Circuit. The biggest team here was going to be back in the Super 2000 ballpark. The rest is now part of Thai motorsport history â a clean sweep â it was a sensational debut for Vattanaâs new BMW and an equally sensational return for the irrepressible Khun Jack.
This fairytale however starts quite a while beforehand â last year in fact. Vattana Motorsport had run Khun Jack in Super 2000 where the front wheel drive Honda Civic FD had been the car to have, with lots of success. However last year everything was turned on its head by the arrival of BMWâs E90.
Pitched against the locally built Civic FDs it simply wasnât a fair contest. The sophisticated rear wheel drive E90, built by the BMW factory in Germany and a proven winner across the world, including in the most competitive arena of all, the FIA World Touring Car Championship, rocked up and raised the bar. Last year, fresh from success in the Touring Car Series in Asia (TCSA), fast youngster Khun Tin Sritrai won the Super 2000 title despite the best efforts of another equally fast young driver, Khun Kantasak Kusiri, who was driving a Civic FD. In the end it was really no contest as Khun Tin emerged the clear champion. The game had now changed.
With Khun Jack absent in Europe on family business and Vattana Motorsport now sitting on the sidelines of Super 2000 â Thailandâs biggest team unquestionably needed a new track weapon to get back into the fight, this after all is an ambitious team that only turns up to win races, they donât hang around for second place. The Civic FD was clearly no longer up to the job. And ditto the driver; Khun Jack has never been known to settle for P2 â even when P1 was out of reach.
So if you are looking to source a winning mount in Super 2000, there isnât anyone better to bring into the picture than Khun Vasin Tantibhakdi of BigDawg Racing. Heâs been behind two of the E90s that have already arrived here for the PTT Research and Technology Institute team, that are driven by Khun Tin, as well as his younger brother. The first E90 that Khun Vasin brought over in 2012 came from Sweden where it had been raced in the Swedish Touring Car Championship (STCC) and was then campaigned by Khun Tin in TCSA, while the second machine came from a leading British team, West Surrey Racing (WSR), and had raced in the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC).
In fact the PTT Research and Technology Institute team now has three E90s that have been switched between Super 2000 and TCSA; the third car arrived last year and was sourced by the team themselves from Portugal. With Khun Tinâs 2013 Super 2000 title plus his TCSA titles the E90 is clearly the car to have.
âKhun Chonsawat called me last year to say that he wanted one car for Super 2000 and I recommended that he got a BMW,â says Khun Vasin. The ball was now rolling. âI saw four cars for him and I got this car for him from WSR.â
âThis is the last bodyshell out of BMW Motorsport so itâs a pretty new car with a used engine and gearbox, but theyâre pretty new,â explains Khun Vasin. âIt has done seven races only so the whole car is pretty new.â WSR is one of the top British touring car teams. After running the factory MG effort in the BTCC in the early to mid 2000s, WSR swapped to the E90 and after a successful stint the team has for this year switched bodyshell to BMWâs 1-series to suit the BTCCâs NGTC regulations. This car was last used by WSR during the 2012 BTCC season. So the car has a very good pedigree and it also came from a professional team â which helped. âWhen we get the car in here itâs just turnkey and we can get a good laptime,â notes Khun Vasin.
As well as the new car, Vattana Motorsport had a WSR engineer on hand in the garage at Bira Circuit last month to help set up the car during pre race testing and get driver and new team used to its characteristics. âFor the first laps I asked an engineer to come and help us for with testing only,â said Khun Vasin as the Vattana Motorsport mechanics fettled the car for the race weekend. âHeâs went back [on Thursday night] and I took over the engineering side of this car.â
For the British engineer, Khun Mark Wood, there was already a connection with BMWs competing in South East Asian motorsport â and that had driven the arrival of the latest E90. âThe cars were bought from West Surrey Racing,â he says. âI looked after the cars for Tin and Vasin in [TCSA], where obviously [Tinâs] gone from strength to strength, had good results with the first few cars and now this car has come out. So it all stems from selling the cars from England to Thailand and itâs going on and on and on.â
Getting the E90 setup to suit Bira Circuit isnât straightforward, says Khun Vasin, but with his and Khun Markâs combined experience of the car it was a step-by-step process to get where exactly where they wanted to be. âWe have to find the right springs for a track like Bira which is very tricky,â he noted. âLike you have S1 and S2, so you have to find the right combination of the springs, dampers and anti-roll bar and also with the tyres we have theyâre a lot different to the tyres the car used to run on back in the UK so weâve got to find the right setup for the tyres.â
Khun Mark was also satisfied with how the testing had shaken out and pleased that Khun Jack was settling into his new car. With Khun Jack having chopped chunks out of his times during the testing programme, he reckoned that the #44 car should be right on the front running pace come race weekend.
âWeâve had to get a good setting for the driver which we seem to have found,â he said on the Thursday afternoon as the team wrapped up practice for the day. âWeâve put in some good laptimes and hopefully we can be at the front of the field. From the driverâs point of view itâs his first time in the car so we donât know where weâre going to be but we obviously have pace so it looks good.â
Itâs his first time at Bira Circuit and first time working with Vattana Motorsport. âI wouldnât say itâs been difficult but weâve had to try to find a good setup for the car which hopefully we have found,â he continues. âNow we have to make the tyres last, but thatâs the same for everybody. We havenât done a huge amount of running, but when we did some decent running we found out what we need to do and other changes on the car [and] straight out of the box we have been on the pace which is good.â
Khun Mark explained that the E90 was the perfect car for a track like this â or really any other. âThe BMWs being rear wheel drive are renowned for looking after their tyres,â he said. âThe driver might think the tyres are going off after a certain amount of laps but in a front wheel drive car they go off quicker so the BMW is stronger towards the end of the race so hopefully it will bring him through to a decent result. The BMW is suited to most tracks, itâs just finding the idea setup, like with any car [and] for sure with the tyre wear we should have an advantage.â
With three days of testing completed, Khun Jack and the Vattana E90 were ready to face the official weekend programme â while the timesheets clearly demonstrated that the driver was now up to speed in the car, he was posting laps that were around a second quicker than anyone else was able to manage in Super 2000 having knocked chunks out of his personal best times in the BMW everyday. âAt first [Khun Jack] didnât have much confidence as heâs been away for a year or more so heâs not had much confidence with the car,â said Khun Vasin.
âThe car is a BMW and itâs quite expensive to repair so he tried to be gentle with the car, he tried to attack S1 and S2 and bent some rims so he had to back off a little bit,â he continued. âAlso he has to adjust himself to the driving style for a rear wheel drive car, like on the throttle, on the brakes, so he has to be gentle on the throttle but can be more aggressive on the brakes so he can get used to the car more and more so he can put on a better and better laptime.â
And the races? Well the first race saw Khun Jack starting from pole position after posting a 1:05.509 in qualifying, nine-tenths better than anyone else could manage. Although front row sitter Khun Hideharu Kuroki kept close station over the opening half dozen laps the Japanese driver eventually drifted away and it became something of a textbook lights to flag win for Khun Jack, especially as the âotherâ BMW in the race, the #99 of Khun Tin never featured at the top end due to mechanical issues.
Itâs great to be back,â Khun Jack said afterwards. âI had pole position so I just had to make sure I got a good start as I didnât have any weight. I got away quite well and Turn 2 up the hill was quite good so I just pushed for five laps, got a good lead and then just saved the tyres as if you push the tyres for too long I thing they will go off. Kuroki in second place was quite quick at the beginning but I pulled away two tenths, three tenths a lap and I started pulling away more and more and then I saved the tyres after lap 10.â Itâs not often you hear of such an uneventful race from Khun Jack, who is arguably the most spectacular driver to watch in Thai motorsport.
In the week before the race, Khun Jack had stated a few times that he would prefer to be racing his âoldâ Civic FD for his comeback event, the driver keen to consider a âcomfort zoneâ that he knows so well â and which has certainly carried him to so much success. However once he had got to grips with the BMW, and as he has previously raced BMWâs E46 for Team Engstler he had a head start, all talk of the Civic was soon forgotten. âThe FD kept on falling apart but itâs proven itâs the FD not me,â Khun Jack said with a laugh. The [BMW] is great, it handles nice, itâs just nice to drive, itâs fun. Not a lot faster than the FD but just reliable.â
Khun Jack then made it two wins from two on Sunday â although in all honesty he was somewhat lucky to bag the win. But luck often plays a part in motor racing destiny. Starting from P5 on the reverse grid, Khun Jack had an off track moment which cost him track position â however the mid race deployment of the Safety Car played right into his hands and put him back in the fight. The front running Civic FD of Khun Pitsanu Sirimongkolkasem was the big loser from the arrival of the Safety Car, it swept away his advantage out front, and that was compounded by a late race car problem that saw him vacate the lead. Meanwhile the âother BMWâ was once again out of the reckoning as Khun Tin continued to struggle with mechanical issues.
But that doesnât take away anything from a fighting drive from Khun Jack, after his âexcursionâ he had to work hard to make up lost ground and the âold Jackâ, the flamboyant star, was on show for the fans to enjoy. âI started first as on Saturday I was first as itâs a reverse grid, so I know I have rear wheel drive and the Hondas have front wheel drive so after five or six laps theyâre going off,â he explained.
âSo Iâm just waiting and waiting and waiting and taking my time as there are 22 laps so no point of pushing the car too much,â the continued. âI just want to make sure we get to the finish and I think I cruised too much and made a small mistake in S2 and just went off but luckily the Safety Car came out and I got back into the race again.
âAfter that I was just pushing and pushing and the extra 50 kilos has cost me a second straight away and we didnât have the right setup,â he continued. âI will have 100 kilos for the next race at Buriram so itâs going to be quite difficult there.
So it was a dream return for Khun Jack. One of the most naturally talented drivers to emerge from Thailand during the last couple of decades Khun Jack couples skill that with the steel and bravery of a hardened pro. But heâs also something of an enigma, the âwild manâ of Thai racing, known as much for his off track lifestyle as his wins on track. That meant his comeback was seen as something of (another) last chance.
For the fans though heâs exciting to watch â even if it was all a little bit more âroutineâ at Bira with the sophisticated BMW. âIâm really thankful to Vattana motorsport and Chonsawat Asavahame, itâs been a perfect weekend comeback,â he said. âIâm really happy.â
Last word to the engineer. Ominously, Khun Vasin reckons thereâs plenty more to come from the E90. âWeâre pretty happy with the weekend but hopefully we can get a better laptime in the next race meeting,â he said. âIf we can get more time with the car and more time to play around with things.â

Good post. Except that I'm not sure I agree with the assertion that News 2.0 or Web 2.0 or what-have-you are cutting out the middle-man. Look at memeorandum for a concrete example of this. The "seed" news items are almost always (primarily) paid reporter reports. Bloggers merely amplify/define the importance of the news source with additional commentary, often in the form of editorial (or thereabouts).

Why the New News is Better
I think it's a mistake to begin with the idea that news is about the lone reporter. News is also about collaboration. Old school news organizations have many departments (including advertising) but even with content there are editors, reporters, photographers, videographers and others. Quality news happens when all these people work together and that is also true for the new news. For new 2.0 to work all of these functions need to be in place: you need a mechanism for sorting out the good from the bad; you need the ability to write original stuff and post photos &videos; and you need the ability to seed, digg or otherwise get news into the public view. News is a team effort and that is what makes it interesting. Once you see news as a collaborative effort that involves editors, reporters, photographers, fact checkers and others you start to see how CJ news can actually be better than the mainstream stuff. More participants mean more manpower and the potential for better quality. Think about it - a newspaper that serves 250 readers will probably have about 10 inhouse photographers. There used to be a saying about never messing with someone who buys ink by the barrel. Well, donât mess with a quarter million digital camera owners either - they might just get organized. But the prospect of an audience revolt in the news business is not so remote. As with many other CJ experiments, we at NowPublic, already have more contributors in most North American cities than the local news organizations do. With those kinds of numbers the audience is already on the brink of control â they just donât know it yet. __________ Michael Tippett, NowPublic.com http://corp.nowpublic.com/... |

Ouch, you blew it right in the opening: revealing that you haven't read a heck of a lot of citizen journalism, labelling them first-person accounts. Sure, a lot are, but not all. Best go back to the drawingboard and give a better analysis.

Hey Rich:
Thanks for the positive review. I can't speak for the Barista gals, but although I'm not a fan of CJ as a term, it is our ideal-- both in terms of its genuine voice and, frankly, its low(er) cost in creating valuable content that might not otherwise see the light of a search engine. But there has to be a seeding process, as you rightly note. So we use tools and we guide the creation of content. But most of the content on the site was created by a blogger/podcaster who was doing this anyway as a labor of love. Sure, she's stepped up the volume a bit since joining forces with us, but she's the same great blogger she was before. Is it still grassroots? I *think* so. It's hard to say where all this News 2.0 stuff will go -- lord knows if you'd told me six months ago that I'd be the publisher of a local music site, I would've called you crazy. But I see things developing in two parallel paths: - The aggregation and filterng of content - The creation and enabling of content that has a significant positive value but does not have sufficient value to bear the brunt of old-media cost structures.(The "long tail") At Pegasus, we think that we're in both of those businesses, but err towards the second. The first may be more immediately profitable, but the second has more than a fighting chance -- and is rewarding as hell, especially when you get traffic and goodwill from covering the previously disenjournolized. And yeah, it's probably a misnomer to call a detailed database of 600 local bands journalism, even though reporting and writing is involved.(This is a debate I've had with journos in my employ for years.) But it is information. And somebody wants it and wants to talk about it. We're all blessed to live in interesting times. |

in the early '90s i was involved with local bulletin boards services (bbss)scattered all over the country that provided a very similar platform, only to a much smaller audience obviously. later, in '98, we did the same at aol's digital city where we had well over 300 city sites sustained primarily by member input. "can you believe bill at that school board meeting?" yeah, that kind of thing. it was exciting then, but almost more exciting now to see it being accepted as a phenomenon.

Trevor Huffman scored 18 points to lead Kent to a 73-62 victory over Rutgers last night in the opening round of the National Invitation Tournament.
Kent (22-7) advanced to the second round against Villanova (20-12). Rutgers finished 15-16.
Huffman hit two 3-pointers in three attempts, while the Scarlet Knights, who outrebounded Kent by 40-25, struggled from long range, hitting just 3 of 12 shots.
The Golden Flashes went on a 12-2 run to take the lead, 36-26, with 4 minutes 25 seconds left in the first half, and led by 43-33 at the break. Helped by a 16-3 run, Rutgers came within a point with 11:01 left, but Kent answered with a 7-0 run to lead by 63-54 with 4:21 left.
Huffman made 5 of 6 free throws in the last three minutes. Andrew Mitchell added 13 points for the Golden Flashes. Dahntay Jones led Rutgers with 16 points and Todd Billet added 14.
Marcus Faison scored 22 points to lead Siena past Massachusetts.
Faison sparked a comeback by the Saints (24-8) with 6 points in 60 seconds with less than four minutes left in the game.
The freshman Michael Buhrman scored his first points of the game with a tip-in with 1 minute 3 seconds left. With 8 seconds left, he grabbed a rebound and was fouled. He missed the free throw, but Siena held as Shannon Crooks' driving shot failed.
For Massachusetts (17-16), Monty Mack had 20 points and 4 assists.
Siena advances against Penn State Monday or Tuesday at a site to be announced. Penn State beat Princeton, 54-41, on Wednesday.
Chris Thunell scored 21 points as Southern Illinois held on to defeat Colorado in a first-round game in Boulder, Colo.
Jose Winston attempted a 3-point shot at the buzzer that would have given Colorado the victory, but the ball bounced off the back of the rim.
At end of the game, Colorado Coach Ricardo Patton threw the ball at one of the officials as he left the court and had to be restrained by three people as he stormed after the referees.
Five players scored in double figures for Colorado (18-14), including Jamahl Mosley with a career-high 27 points, in the highly physical game against Southern Illinois (20-12).
The Salukis led by 46-42 at the half, but Colorado took over, 62-61, on a basket by Jaquay Walls with 13:17 remaining.
The Salukis regained the lead for good on a 3-point basket by Ricky Collum at 12:21 to start a 21-5 run that spanned the next 5:06.
Thunell scored 6 of the last 8 points for Southern Illinois, including four free throws, to help the Salukis hang on for the victory.
Allen Phillips scored 23 points and Scott Brakebill added 19 as Southwest Missouri State beat Southern Methodist in an opening-round game in Springfield, Mo.
With S.M.U. (21-9) ahead by 23-21 with 10:12 left in the first half, the Mustangs failed to scored on their next seven possessions while Southwest Missouri ran off 11 straight points in taking a 43-31 halftime lead.
S.M.U. narrowed the margin to 48-42 with 16:58 remaining before Southwest Missouri opened a 13-0 run to go up by 61-42 with 14:12 left.
Brakebill controlled the second half, scoring 13 points and grabbing 8 rebounds.
The Mustangs shot just 34 percent from the floor, including 5 of 28 on 3-pointers, and 52 percent from the line.

If you've lost one too many pictures waiting for your camera app to load (or waiting for it to save), QuickCam is a great alternative. Advertisement Instead of focusing on all-around powerful camera features, QuickCam's goal is simple: take pictures and take them quickly. The app loads almost instantly, and takes and saves pictures a bit faster than the default Camera app. It also has a great "burst mode" feature that lets you hold the shutter button to take a series of pictures in rapid succession. Alternatively, you can switch between video and still mode instantly, or even take video and stills at the same time. It also has quick access to other tweaks, like focus and exposure, with just a tap or two on the screen. If you're trying to capture something that only happens for an instant, this app's going to make it a bit easier.I probably wouldn't make it my default camera app—I'd leave that to something with more advanced features like previously mentioned Camera+—but this makes a great secondary app for those situations where you need to take a difficult picture quickly. QuickCam is a $0.99 download for iOS. Note that it doesn't currently work very well on the iPhone 3G.

Share another experience before you go.This has been around forever, don't know if it was a first but it was yummy! The perfect treat to enjoy while you meander through the Pike Place Market.
The best frozen yoghurt and friendly servers! This popular small stand at the Market is always a stop for us. There are too many choices so we always take the flavour of the day and have never been disappointed. We just wish there were a couple more stools at the counter. Prices are reasonable.
Great flavors, wonderful prices, and even vegan options! If you love ice cream then you must check this place out in Pike Place Market!
been enjoying yogurt here since the 1970s. this was the very first frozen yogurt shop in the usa. the staff is super friendly and the best smoothies around. if you are at the pike place market you have to go and get a smootie or a yougurt .
Friendly service. Lots pf choices and they will make it any way you want it. A single scoop sundae and a single scoop in a cup was only $9. Great tasting!
It got warmer than expected today, so went walked back down to Pike's Market for some frozen yogurt. We shared a cup of the marionberry yogurt and it was perfect. Not too sweet and not too tart.
Yogurts, ice cream, smoothies and goodies. On a hot day, a terriffic treat. In a small stall across from the Pikes Place Market, it a find. Had two scoops of ice cream. Wonderful!!
My tart blueberry frozen yogurt was only average, but my wife's coffee ice cream was seriously good. Strong coffee flavor. We sampled a few other ice cream flavors (including black licorice!) and all were good. Go with the ice cream, despite the frozen yogurt name in the store name.
Be sure to make your way to the Shy Giant if you are near the Public Market. They have super ice cream and homemade fruit yogurt. Excellent!
They do it right. I always grab a frozen yogurt when the line is not too long. Which means when the weather is lousy, my favorite time to come to Pike Place Market. In summer the lines can be very long.

Jim Spanfeller left Forbes.com to start a food siteThe online journalism scene is one of the toughest fields to break into and 2010 was no exception. For starters, AOL embarked on an ambitious plan to make Patch the household hyperlocal news network, dumping $50 million into the service and becoming the nation's largest hirer of full-time journalists. Despite these efforts, the verdict is still out on who can develop an efficient, yet effective content model at the hyperlocal level, but some promising new startups think they have what it takes.Furthermore, among the new class of online publications are those who are staying away from reporting news all-together. Rather, they have developed niche sites that satisfy a void in content previously unavailable. The biggest determinant of these successes will be whether there is enough public interest in the genre. So, you tell us-Of all the online journalism startups of 2010, which one's do you think are most promising?

When you consider the distance your chisels travel over a turned piece by the time it's finished, it's amazing you don't spend half your career as a wood turner sharpening your tools. If it takes you one hour to turn a 10-inch diameter bowl with your lathe averaging 1,200rpm, your chisels will cut a groove almost 36 miles long. With that kind of wear, learning how to sharpen your tools quickly and accurately is important.
- Skill level:
- Moderately Easy
Other People Are Reading
Things you need
- Bench-mounted belt sander
- Fine-grit sanding belt
- Buffing wheel
- Polishing compound
Show More
- 1
Turn on your belt sander.
- 2
Place the bevel of the chisel flat against the surface of the sander. Use only light pressure. Point the cutting edge of the chisel in the belt's direction of travel. It should take no more than two seconds to dress the bevel of a flat or skew chisel.
- 3
Lift the back end of the chisel handle slightly to increase the angle of the bevel. Lift no more than 5 degrees from the main bevel. Lightly press the chisel to the belt again. This secondary bevel will create a sharper edge. It will also create a small burr on the backside of the blade, which you will remove with a buffing wheel. Don't leave the chisel on the sander any longer than necessary to smooth the bevel. Over-sharpening can overheat the tool and remove an excessive amount of steel from the edge.
- 4
Turn on your buffing wheel, and apply a small amount of metal polishing compound to the wheel.
- 5
Hold the flat side of the chisel against the buffing wheel to remove the burr, which should take no longer than two or three seconds. The burr is gone when you can slide your thumbnail slides easily off the chisel's tip without catching.
Tips and warnings
- Do not polish the back of your scrapers. A small burr is necessary for them to do their job properly.
- Effective sharpening requires a steady hand. If you are new to sharpening tools, consider using a jig to hold your chisels until you develop a feel for the process.
- Only use the process above to sharpen an edge that is otherwise in good shape. Do not try to grind nicked or damaged chisels with this method. You could overheat the edge and ruin the tempering on the blade.
- Use eye and hearing protection when working with power tools.

Sharing a meal with loved ones is a way to connect, create memories, and discover which family member has been a robot all along. Refuel your clan with today's Groupon for Mexican, American, and Italian fare at Big Crumbs. Choose from the following options:
Customers can substitute ribs and fried shrimp for an entree for an additional $3 for a half order, and $6 for a full order.
Mexican, American, and Italian cuisines coalesce on Big Crumbs' lengthy menu, which teems with globe-spanning lunch and dinner fare. Dining duos or reunited doppelgangers can saunter in for lunch, where two sodas or iced teas await to quench thirst. Soup flavors change daily, though french-onion and broccoli-cheese varieties are perennially on hand to hug empty spoons and add color to moustaches. The club sandwich layers turkey, ham, and bacon between avocado and tomato, while the house salad conceals cucumbers from crouton mobs in a sea of iceberg lettuce and ranch dressing.
Like introverted pieces of fine china, heartier dishes emerge at dinner, such as the bruschetta, a toasted, garlicky fusing of bread and tomatoes ($5.98). Chicken, steak, or shrimp fajitas are accompanied by a mountain of grilled vegetables and a reservoir of chimichurri chipotle ($9.98$10.98), and the spicy-salmon pasta splays the grilled, blackened fish on a bed of fettuccine alfredo ($10.99). After perusing the American section of the menu and selecting the steak that best matches their earrings, guests can wrap up the feast with a cinnamon-and-sugar dusted bunuelo, a hard flour tortilla cradling ice cream, fudge, and whipped cream ($4.98).
