  • Ohio politicians should trust women to make reproductive decisions: Kellie Copeland

    Plain Dealer guest columnist
    28 Jan 2012 | 5:27 am
    What happened to the campaign promises to create jobs and fix the economy? Everyone knows Ohio unemployment is getting worse, not better. And remember when, during the debates on federal health care reform, those same politicians campaigned on smaller government and said government had no place in the health decisions of Americans? You may remember, but our politicians have clearly forgotten. Instead of keeping their campaign promises, they have launched a War on Women with 10 pieces of legislation that would further limit access to abortion and family planning services in Ohio.

    26 Jan 2012 | 11:35 am
    On Wednesday, the Cleveland Indians officially placed pitcher Fausto Carmona on the restricted list, which is often used by teams for players who have violated the terms of their contract. According to Major League Baseball, players that are added to the restricted list do not count towards the team's 25-man roster, but are unable to sign with another team. Players on the restricted list also do not get paid by their team while on the list.

With Fielder four years younger (at least) than Pujols, it seemed that he would find a home in short order, even if his deal wouldn’t match that of Pujols in terms of years or dollars.

    24 Jan 2012 | 6:45 pm
    Last Thursday began the way that most days have begun in my house in the past few months, with my now-2-year-old waking up around 6 AM and proceeding to wake up the rest of the house, eventually prodding his parents into beginning their preparations for work and for the day. With the kids fed and bundled, they were taken over to the babysitter’s house so my wife and I could begin our work days, which we concluded in the early afternoon as we had plans to go to Milwaukee for a long weekend with the in-laws. After returning from work, we loaded up the car, picked up the kids and proceeded…

  • 1st and (Still) Foremost

    10 Jan 2012 | 11:32 am
    The new year is upon us and since things have been quiet on the corner of Carnegie and Ontario, there hasn’t been too much to ruminate on pertaining to the Indians as they are only so many times that one can read (or write) about the 1B situation, breathlessly follow 140 character proclamations that “the #indians are in on…”, or dissect the current roster much more. However, seeing as how there seems to be some movement on how the Indians are approaching their 1B…um, “situation”, I figured it would be as good a time as any to weigh in on what’s been happening (or what could be…

  • The Curious Case of Mike Brantley

    26 Dec 2011 | 8:01 pm
    A Note From Paul: A couple of weeks ago I wrote how I was going to bring a couple of new writers into the fold here at The DiaTribe to change the pace from time to time and I’m pleased to present a piece from my friend Tyler (who has written here before) on Michael Brantley. With all of the talk of the Indians making multi-year offers to Josh Willingham and Carlos Beltran in the last couple of weeks – moves that would ostensibly move Brantley into a quasi-utility role or into a role of the 4th OF, Tyler brings up some salient points on Brantley, regarding both his present and his…

  • Regarding Risk and Reward

    20 Dec 2011 | 7:23 pm
    As the Indians’ off-season rolls on quietly (relatively speaking), the biggest news that has come out of the corner of Carnegie and Ontario is not this stockpiling of RH bats in minor trades (Aaron Cunningham) or NRI (Pie and Lopez with Andy LaRoche perhaps to come) to fill out organizational depth and equate to Travis Buck-esque lottery tickets. Rather, the biggest events of the last couple of weeks pertaining to the Indians have been the signings of Josh Willingham by the Twins and Michael Cuddyer by the Rockies as those two bats seemed to be the ones that most clearly fit the mold (RH LF…

  • “The Gravedigger’s Song” by The Mark Lanegan Band

    Bill Lipold
    27 Jan 2012 | 12:18 pm
    I’m not going to lie. Mark Lanegan could release an album of Katy Perry covers and I’d not only listen to it, but I’d probably put down cash money for it, too. Now, that’s not to say quality doesn’t matter when it comes to the output of the one time Screaming Trees frontman. Rather, his voice is so captivating — Deep, smoky, lonesome, and in the case of “Gravedigger’s Song,” from his soon to be released album, Blues Funeral, down right scary — He can be paired with the twee voice of Isobel Campbell, the boozy and amoral sounds of his…

  • Two-fer Thursday: New Jams by Terry Malts and Dirty Ghosts

    Bill Lipold
    26 Jan 2012 | 6:09 pm
    The fuzz pop of San Francisco’s Terry Malts is equally indebted to the flapping, mop tops and punk rock of The Ramones and the disaffected stares of UK shoegazers.  Yet, if one were to choose, pogo or pout, shout or sulk, songs like “Nauseous,” should make the choice easy — Make yourself a pit, do the pizza man dance and the gorilla dance, too.  There will be time enough for introspection once the music’s done. MP3: Terry Malts – Nauseous Look for Terry Malt’s debut full length, Killing Time, February 21st on Slumberland Records. — After a few…

  • The Rockometer: Attack on Memory by Cloud Nothings

    Bill Lipold
    24 Jan 2012 | 6:38 pm
    Cloud Nothings Attack on Memory Carpark To hear Cloud Nothings’ Dylan Baldi tell it, the title of the band’s third album, Attack on Memory, is meant to be an attack on the memory of what people thought his band was.”  Of course, with a title that vague, this attack on memory could be attached to any manner of things we’d rather forget. For example, it could be an attack on your memory of all those shitty emo bands that claimed to be influenced by Fugazi, Sunny Day Real Estate, and Jawbreaker, but were really no more than a shitty emo band. It could be an attack on the…

  • “Parted Ways” by Heartless Bastards

    Bill Lipold
    24 Jan 2012 | 12:32 pm
    The Heartless Bastards’ Erika Wennestrom has always had a voice, a wonderfully deep and robust voice, bluesy, billowing and full of nuance, one that has often earned comparisons to some Rock ‘N’ Roll’s greatest leading ladies like Grace Slick and Janis Joplin. It wasn’t until the band’s 2009 release, The Mountain, however, that the songwriting and musicianship began to provide the proper compliment. This new potency can be heard on “Parted Ways,” the first single from their forthcoming album, Arrows. Wennestrom wows, as always, along side a…

    25 Jan 2012 | 8:11 pm
    A couple years ago, my mom got us some exotic jams and marmalades from Swaziland for Christmas.  Somehow she placed a double order for the price of one, so we’ve been going through them pretty slowly.  Inspiration struck, though, when we were asked to bring some flavor boosters for grilled chicken to Sarah’s brother’s place and didn’t have time for something like, say, mole. My favorite was the Mango Sriracha Glaze.  The recipe calls for chicken thighs but was really good on breasts, and we used leftovers for wings.  The sauce took all of three minutes to make, and we didn’t add…

    I have been going to Tommy’s since before I was born.  It’s home to my first memories of experiencing pita bread.  Ben and I met the minister that married us there and we’ve been to Tommy’s many times since. The restaurant itself is plain, and the decor consists of the work of local artists (for sale) and plants.  Natural light abounds during the day.  The menu has not changed in decades — but this is a positive attribute.  Although known for being vegetarian, their menu does not exclude meat.  Some of the more popular items on the menu include milk shakes, french fries,…

  • Mezcal Cured Salmon

    14 Jan 2012 | 8:27 am
    Inspired by The Cage Free Tomato and Sarah’s idea of blogging on our cultural heritage, I home cured some salmon. My dad’s side of the family is Jewish, and most breakfasts when we visited family in New York were lox, bagels and cream cheese.  I never understood this as a kid–fish for breakfast?–but I’ve gotten a taste for it as an adult. I used farmed Atlantic salmon from Whole Foods (farmed seems safer for a raw preparation) and part of a 50 ml bottle of mezcal brought home from a recent vacation.  I basically followed this recipe, substituting mezcal for the Scotch. The results…

    Ben
    10 Jan 2012 | 4:32 pm
    Sarah from Top Chef recently won one episode with her sausage stuffed cabbage.  It looked really good to me, so I decided to make it. Sarah (from this blog, not Top Chef) typically dislikes stuffed cabbage, which is usually filled with a tomato beef sauce.  This recipe has no tomatoes but lots of vegetables.  In addition to the big cabbage leaves, the meat mixture also contains more cabbage and onions and is stuffed into kale.  Sarah really liked it, and even Jonathan enjoyed it. The recipe we made is modified in a number of ways from the Top Chef recipe published here.  It uses less…

    We crossed the river to visit Barroco Grill a few weeks ago and very much enjoyed it. The establishment is at 129th and Madison in Lakewood and only seats around 20 people at most.  We were there during a large birthday party, so the three of us squeezed ourselves into a table meant for two. The specialty of the house is arepas, a cross between a tortilla and crusty bread that is common in Colombia and Venezuela.  They are made of white corn masa and deep fried, with a thickness and toothsomeness that is very satisfying. Sarah and I split the Chorizo Arepa ($9) and the Cheesy Corn ($8).

I plan menus, I shop, I market, I cook. Alongside their health and happiness their diet is the MOST IMPORTANT thing to the Chef & I. We decided a long time ago that nothing bad would go into thier bodies, probably as a reaction to all the bad shit we have put in our own as well as a reaction to our son’s kidney disease.

  • Plain Dealer flubs its explanation for firing Tony Grossi

    Ed Morrison
    27 Jan 2012 | 5:54 pm
    On TV3 this evening, Cleveland Plain Dealer’s Thom Fladung, managing editor, squirmed like a worm on a hot brick over his firing of Tony Grossi as a beat writer for the Browns. The PD is upset about what Grossi tweeted about Browns’ owner Randy Lerner. Jim Donovan did a good job asking pointed questions of Fladung. Donovan compared Grossi’s mistake — for which Grossi has apologized — with the scathing comments by Brent Larkin. From Larkin’s column: The Cleveland Browns (second edition) is the worst professional sports franchise in the city’s…

The role of the Hull-House quickly expanded, offering English class, child care and job training to the city’s rapidly growing immigrant population. Jane Addams went on to win the Nobel Peace Prize.

Lisa Nichols didn’t buy her car at one of those lots, but she ended up in a similar situation. She sees her tale as a cautionary tale of “buyer beware.” When her car broke down, Nichols’ credit score was low enough that she fell in the sub-prime lending category. She went to lots of dealerships, but couldn’t get a loan. “The funny thing is when you have bad credit, they…

    28 Jan 2012 | 12:00 am
    The dark figure of crime is a term used to describe the real crime rate, as opposed to that derived from statistics that measure reported crime. The term, attributed to 19th century Belgian sociologist Adolphe Quetelet, reveals an inherent flaw in the determination of a crime rate for a location, region, or nation. Since some crimes go unreported or are ignored based on lack of evidence or law enforcement...What Is a Dark Figure of Crime?

    The New Jersey Nets looked like a completely different team than the one that the Cavaliers blew out on New Year’s Day in The Q. The backcourt duo of Deron Williams and Anthony Morrow lit up the wine and gold with 49 combined points as the Nets drained 11 three pointers and led by double digits for most of this one. Kyrie Irving led a dramatic late charge for the Cavs, scoring 21 of his 32 in the final act and 17 of those in the final three minutes, but they started their run just a little too late.

    With an extremely dangerous section of the schedule coming up for the Cleveland Cavaliers, it’s important they try to not go into that stretch on a losing note.

After tonight’s game, the Cavaliers’ next 10 games are all against opponents who should be in the playoffs this spring. The Cavaliers, fresh off two nights sleep in their own beds and a game off, can’t afford a let down game against the Nets. The Nets are limping into this game, in one sense, and red hot in another.

That news is hardly a surprise as it seemed almost imminent when Mike Sherman was hired to fill the same position for the Miami Dolphins last night.  All along it was thought to be a two horse race for Pat Shurmur’s staff vacancy.

    So you know I couldn’t resist. Being the resident Uni-Nerd I had to chime in on the Cavs newest threads. As always, what follows is strictly my opinion… The Cavs debuted the new ‘CavFanatic’ uniforms against the Knicks this week. They will wear the alternate set 4 more times this season. They are called CavFanatic because of the “social networking platform” that the Cavaliers established and encourage fans to join. I’ve not paid much attention to the CavFanatic message board, or Facebook page much, but I do know that they host events. Seems like a…
