The braised beef short rib at Table No. 10 in East Village.

The mounted faux animal heads on the walls at recently opened Table No. 10 are more than an interior decorators whimsy.

Theyre testament to the carnivores paradise that awaits on the menu of this two-story restaurant/bar that opened last July at 10th Avenue and J street in San Diegos East Village.

Table No. 10 so named for the kitchenside chefs 10-seat table on the ground floor is co-owned by executive chef Jason Gethin and restaurateur Cooper McLaughlin. Gethin came to East Village from Encinitas, where, as founding executive chef of Union Kitchen & Tap, he was widely known for his mastery with meats. With his on-site smoker and passion for braising and roasting, Gethin made Union Kitchen the place to go for bison burgers, smoked pork tenderloin and wild boar osso bucco.

Although vegetarians will find a decent number of dishes to their liking at Table No. 10, meat-eaters will be in hog heaven. Gethins new winter menu features pig ear tostadas, grilled quail, suckling pig rillettes, rabbit and grits, crispy chicken skin and chateaubriand for two. Even the fresh-baked Parker rolls are served with a tub of creamy house-made marrow butter.

That sits just fine with McLaughlin, who grew up hunting and fishing in Montana. A former chemist in the pharmaceutical industry, he got into the restaurant business in 2007, when he converted his old East Village loft apartment into The Corner Bar. The recession crippled business at the burger joint, and McLaughlin said he learned a lot about the industry as the economy gradually recovered. The married Mission Hills father of two closed Corner Bar last spring to convert it into Table No. 10, with an all-new kitchen designed to Gethins specifications, including an in-house smoker and a sous-vide machine.

Table No. 10 has a Western/industrial vibe, with open ceiling, metal chairs, wood tables, colorful banquettes and hanging exposed bulbs. The menu, billed as modern American fare, is presented in what looks like a medical chart with prices ranging from $4 to $16 for bites, $6 to $10 for sides, $12 to $16 for small plates and most large plates in the $22 to $28 range. But if you're really starved, there's a huge buffalo rib eye tomahawk steak for $92.

Among the many standout proteins on Gethins menu: the tender-sweet and smoky duck ragu with house-made pasta, the 24-hour braised short rib that melts in your mouth, the excellent beef tartare with quail egg and house grain mustard. And pescavores will appreciate the perfectly charred octopus with fried caper berries, the mouthwatering scallops in brown butter and the whole fish special, on my visit a delicate and moist bronzino, which the server deboned tableside.

The pig ear tostadas (essentially mounds of carnitas piled on fried pork ears) come with a lovely cilantro aioli and surprising caviar gel beads of concentrated jalapeo, but the ears were too chewy for my taste. And while the quail dish was seasoned well, it came out a little dry.

Table No. 10 a meat-lovers paradise

We all love our electricity and the quality of life it brings to us. When we turn on our computer, television, lights and appliances with a flick of the switch, all these are powered by electricity. However, with such convenience upon us, we will sometimes tend to take things for granted.

What we will also forget is the lengths of electrical wiring running through the home or office that gives allows the power to reach these appliances at the proper speed and power levels. Like veins in the body, proper electrical wiring is the life of the home, to provide the routes for electricity to properly flow from the power source to all parts of the house.

Electrical wiring are insulated conductors or cables use to carry electricity. The wires are conductor materials that allow the electric current to flow through with little resistance. Copper is the most commonly used material. The wires will then be covered with an outer sheath of insulation usually rubber. Cables are mostly consisting of two or more of these insulated wires running side by side and bonded, twisted or braided together to form a single assembly.

These wires can vary due to their gauge, materials they are constructed with and other more technical reasons. They are identifiable via different colours and markings. Also it is also very important to choose the right type of wires to suit each application as we would not want to over juice a certain source or under power an appliance. These are also concerned to safety matters hence only a certified electrical engineer should be called in to deal with any wiring issue in the household.

In the past, electrical wiring and cables would be present and visible throughout the household. As the usage of electricity increases with all the latest gadgets available, the amount of wiring and cables also increases. Modernizing the electrical wiring has also been about concealing the unsightly clutter of cables and wiring. Now there are panels and hidden structures to neatly tuck away the wiring while still providing that convenient power to turn on our various appliances with the flick of a switch.

Structured Wiring and Networking Panels

on September 24 2013

A Structured Networking Panel (SNP) accepts and distributes signals throughout your home, much like an electrical panel receives and distributes electricity. Cables from outside service providers, such as telephone or cable television, come into the panel. From the panel, signals are distributed in home runs or direct lines to each room in your home. The SNP can also serve as the distribution point for internal signals, such as audio, video or security cameras or in-home computer networking, such as for a shared printer.

From the SNP, you can run different types of cables depending on the signals you plan to distribute.

CAT-5e/CAT-6 Cables

Category 5e cables, also called CAT-5e or generically called Ethernet cables, are the industry standard for connecting telephones, computer networks, home automation networks and audio/video distribution systems. CAT-6 is the emerging standard, offering up to twice the bandwidth of CAT-5e. Either can be used in home networking, and they are installed in the same way. CAT-5e cables consist of 4 pairs of wire (8 total conductors) with an Ethernet capability of up to 1,000 megabits per second (Mbps). They terminate in RJ-46 plugs, which look like wider versions of common telephone plug.

This post will try to make you understand the most basic principles of house electricity. Since this blog is intended for beginners in electrical works, and for readers who seek to understand electrical system enough so they can do their own work, I think it should start with materials that can help readers understand whatever materials I post here as smoothly as possible.

It is actually quite easy to understand electrical and the simple diagrams below will show that.

Diagram 1 The most basic principle of electricity ================= RELATED ARTICLES: A simple electrical installation | Electrical socket extension unit | 1- Phase ELCB connection pictures | Bare fluorescent light pictures | Recessed down lights installation | Bollard light pictures | Light switch installation pictures | Home wiring pictures | Electric Meters | Electrical Grounding Electrode Pictures | MATV antenna bracket pictures ================= What does this diagram say?

It says that there is a battery, a length of wiring cable connecting the positive terminal of the battery to one of the incandescent lamp terminal.

Then there is another length of cable connecting the other terminal of the lamp back to the battery at the negative terminal.

You may have played with toys that work with this very basic electric circuit when you were young.

You take one AA-size battery, a pair of whatever metal wires you can lay your hands on and a small bulb. Any bulb you can dig out of battery-powered electric toys will do.

Connect the battery and the bulb with the metal wires as in shown the diagram.

The electricity will flow and the bulb will light up.

There you have it, a working electric circuit.

NORTH LAS VEGAS, NV (FOX5) -

The removal of eight children from a North Las Vegas home investigators described as deplorable has raised questions about how it got that way and why something wasn't done sooner.

The conditions of the apartment came to light about a month before a 3-month-old who lived there died on Jan. 20. That child was among the eight who had been removed from the home in late December.

According to police, trash and human waste covered portions of the unit and it was overrun by cockroaches.

SLIDESHOW: Inside home were dead infant lived

According to a Child Protective Services document, the Clark County Department of Family Services received 18 prior reports about the family. However, the department said reports aren't enough; claims must be substantiated.

The apartment, which North Las Vegas police referred to as an extreme environmental hazard," was home to eight children between the ages of 3 months and 17 years old.

If a parent's behavior is out of control, if it's severe, if it's imminent and it's observable danger, then a child can be removed, Clark County Department of Family Services manager Kechia English said.

Thirty-nine-year-old Geneva Morgan appeared in court on Wednesday, admitting she failed to provide a habitable environment for the children.

Police made entry into the home on Dec. 20.

Tarion Home Warranty - Video

This is the second time I have had to deal with a claim with Home Buyers Warranty, also known as HWB, 2-10, two dash ten, two ten and 2 10. Web site: http://www.2-10.com. The claim system is setup for local repair companies to make money with initial trade fees. Our trade fee is $50 for each claim. The claim system does not appear to encourage quick and prompt repairs.

The first time I filed a claim with them, it was for a pipe that froze in the house. They had a repair man come to the home within the next morning. He had asked me what caused the pipe to freeze. Well even though the house design is flawed which, in my opinion, allowed the pipe to freeze, the actual freezing of the pipe was caused by an act of nature which is not covered by the warranty. I recall he told me then and there the Warranty will most not approve this repair. Through the ordeal I had to pay the trade fee of $50. Great, I was out $50 and had to fix the problem myself. Even though the warranty implies it covers problems that may occur with the plumbing in your home, if there is a way out of the claim, this company will take it. As far as I am concerned, the pipe would not have froze if the house was designed right. The weather only exposed the problem. Lawyers win the day though, as their terms are written so they can claim otherwise.

The more recent claim (#2305438) is for the air conditioning unit. When I filed my claim Monday night they had a repair man out to the home (company info: Energy Group Heating and Cooling) the following Tuesday morning. I also paid them the trade fee of $50 for the visit. The repair man swapped out some parts (a capacitor and some sort of booster for the capacitor) and at first the air conditioner started to work. The repair man was knowledgeable and friendly.

The next day (Wednesday) the air conditioner failed again. I called the Home Buyers Warranty that day. The following morning the repair company called and let me know that they are waiting for Home Buyers Warranty to authorize/approve the replacement of the AC compressor.

The following morning (Today / Friday) I decided to find out the status of my claim and called HWBs 1-800-775-4736 number. This is where I started getting the run around. I called and spoke with a claim rep, he then said there is no record of any further approvals for repairs for my claim. He then transferred me to a department that handles claim approvals/authorizations. A woman answered with some odd accent or echo, then bam she hung up on me. The hanging up while waiting for someone within the approvals department repeated a few times till finally I started calling other departments at HWB. The last woman I spoke with worked in the service provider department. I insisted on leaving my information with her rather than calling and getting hung up on. At this point, I am still waiting for a call back from them on what the deal is. Calls were placed between 11:00AM to 2:00PM. Nearly 90 minutes according to my Verizon wireless phone.

Hopefully a supervisor will call me soon and prove me wrong and that all the crap they put me through today was some other sort of problem. I will keep everyone posted.

In the mean time, I spent $100 and got a wall AC unit for the computer room, which is less than adequate.

Post updated on August 6, 2007

Later on that Friday, at 3:47pm I was contacted by Art (Arther) in the customer service department. He told me he would contact the assigned contractor and get the repairs straightened out that afternoon. I waited all weekend for some sort of status on the repair for the AC. Today, at 9:17am, I called the contractor to find out the status of the repair. The secretary told me that the repair man was currently on the other line with the warranty company finding out what repairs they will authorize. I told the woman on the phone that I eagerly awaited an update from her on the status of the repair. I have not received a return call.

In the mean time, Ive contacted the Ohio Attorney General to see what I should do next. Hopefully someone will tell me what will happen with my claim (#2305438). A timely answer at this point would be greatly appreciated.
