Ross’s con-artist ways, the brothers use psychology and science to offer clients an alternative to their fates. ***

Q: I don’t think I can wait much longer for season four of “Game of Thrones.” -- Carlos F., via email

Q: Can you tell me what Christian Slat-

er is up to now? I recently saw his amazing performance in the movie “He Was a Quiet Man,” and it made me realize I really miss seeing him. -- Veronica W., Hanover, Pa.

You have only about a month to wait before you can see Christian again on a regular basis. On Tuesday, March 11, at 10 p.m. ET/PT, ABC will premiere a new series called “Mind Games,” which stars Christian and Steve Zahn. They play Christian Slater brothers Ross (Christian) and Clark Edwards (Steve), who are partners in Edwards and Associates, an unusual business based on the belief that people’s decisions are influenced by their environment in ways they’re not aware. By using the hard science of psychological manipulation, the brothers commit to solving their clients’ problems. With Clark’s expertise and

Just hold on a little longer. The highly anticipated premiere of the hit fantasy/drama series is set for April 6 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on HBO. The TV series, which is based on the books series by George R.R. Martin, shocked audiences at the end of last season with the infamous “Red Wedding,” and season four’s 10 episodes will prove to be just as exciting. It will be roughly based on the second half of “A Storm of Swords,” the third book in the “A Song of Ice and Fire” novels. According to showrunner David Benioff: “I think [season four] is going to surpass season three. There are so many scenes we’ve been waiting for so long to do, and it just gets more and more fun to write for these characters. We’re very excited for it.” ***

I am a fan of “NCIS” and have wondered why Cote Pablo left the series. -- Judy D., via email

Cote left for personal reasons, which she chooses not to expand on. On the possibility of returning, she told TV Guide Magazine: “The greatest thing about this last episode is that Ziva doesn’t die. As long as a character doesn’t die, the character can always come back.” Cote recently signed on to co-star in the film “The 33,” which is based on the events of the 2010 Chilean mine collapse.

Cabbage Stuffed Meat Roll I love meatloaf. I also love stuffed cabbage rolls. So, I combined them, and now I have my newest favorite way to prepare meatloaf. 2 cups finely shredded cabbage 1/2 cup finely chopped onion 16 ounces extra-lean ground sirloin beef or turkey breast 1 cup cold cooked rice 1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium ketchup 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes 1/8 teaspoon black pepper 1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray 8-by-12inch baking dish with butter-flavored cooking spray. In a large skillet sprayed with same cooking spray, saute cabbage and onion for 5 minutes. Remove from heat; set aside. 2. In large bowl, combine meat, rice, Worcestershire, 1/4 cup tomato sauce and ketchup. Mix well to combine. Place meat mixture on a sheet of waxed paper and form into a 12-by-10-inch rectangle. Sprinkle cabbage mixture evenly over top. Roll up jelly-roll fashion. Place meat roll in prepared baking dish, seam side down. 3, Bake for 45 minutes. Stir parsley and black pepper into remaining tomato sauce, and evenly spoon over partially baked meat roll. Continue baking for 15 minutes. Place baking dish on a wire rack and let set for 5 minutes. Makes 6 servings. Freezes well. Each serving equals: 162 calories, 6g fat, 15g protein, 12g carb., 326mg sodium, 2g fiber; Diabetic Exchanges: 2 Meat, 1 Vegetable, 1/2 Starch.

Everyday CHEAPSKATE

by Mary Hunt

Salesman Says Replace, Don’t Repair Dear Mary: We will need a new stove soon -- a slide-in type with a glass cooktop. On preliminary pricing, it will cost about $1,200 to replace our current model. We’ve just moved in, ® and I am not sure when (or if) we will be remodeling the kitchen and what the new configuraby Mary Hunt tion will be. What are your suggestions for a cheap stopgap option? Sears wants $600 to fix the problems with the current oven and advised getting a new one because it is fifteen years old. I have enjoyed all of your tips and tricks over the years! -- Cristy M., email Dear Cristy: Given your plans to remodel, I’d go with getting your current stove repaired. You don’t say how soon you will be remodeling, but let’s say it’s in five years. If you opt for a new stove now, you may feel compelled to design your new kitchen around a five-year-old stove you purchased to fit an existing space. By repairing your current stove, you’ll save money now and also give yourselves more options when it’s time to tear out and start over. A lot can happen in five years. I wonder if maybe your salesman was thinking more about his commission than your best interests when he suggested you should buy a new stove. * * * Dear Mary: My mother passed away a few weeks ago. She left a credit-card balance of $3,500. I had been paying her bills while she was in a nursing home and under hospice care, as she had no income. As her son, am I now responsible for this credit-card debt since she has passed away? -- Frank G., Pennsylvania Dear Frank: No, you are not, unless you are named on the account as a joint owner. If your mother was the only person on the account, the

credit card company, upon notification of her death, will look to her estate for full payment. Generally, (laws vary from one state to another) the executor of her estate will handle that. If there are no assets or insufficient sums with which to pay them off, the credit card company has to eat the loss. However, if she left assets (a home or anything of value), those assets must be liquidated to pay her creditors before they can be distributed to her heirs. Check out Nolo Press (nolopress.com) for excellent selfhelp books and information that will help you settle her estate -- which includes notifying her creditors -- without spending a lot of money on attorney fees. I am sorry for your loss and wish you well in this difficult time. * * * Dear Mary: My children love the apple slices available pre-packaged at the grocery store. I really appreciate the convenience, but I hate the pricet tag. I would love to prepare the slices at home myself for a fraction of the cost; however, I’m at a loss for the ingredient that keeps the apple slices from turning brown before their time.

VA Appeals Pile Up

What makes the news is how quickly the Department of Veterans is paring down (or not paring down) its pile of disability claims, and those past the 125-day mark. We’ve heard about the mandatory overtime for VA claims personnel, and VA chief Eric Shinseki’s often-repeated desire to get those claims under control by 2015. All well and good. But there’s one part of the process we don’t hear much about: the backlog of appeals. Those numbers are growing at an astronomical rate, and it’s believed they will double over the next four years. At this point, the number stands at more than a quartermillion appeals. Allsup, the group that provides compliance and appeal services to those on VA and Social Security disability, ran the numbers. Appeals claims have shot up 78 percent since 2008. The top three cities for backlog of appeals claims are St. Petersburg, Fla. (22,581), Houston (16,725) and Atlanta (14,334). Taking it by state, the top three are Texas (30,993), Florida (22,581) and California (17,134). Your best bet: Do your part, when you file a claim, make it complete the first time out. Don’t make processors ask for anything that you haven’t provided. Be sure to submit what they call a Fully skate.com, or c/o Everyday Cheapskate, P.O. Box 2099, Cypress, CA 90630.

Recently, I had the opportunity to speak with a director of one our nation’s many humane societies. I asked him what single factor more than any other drives people’s decision to abandon their dogs to a shelter. He said, unequivocally: behavioral problems. Then I asked him what he tells the people who want to adopt these troublemakers. He said, without flinching: I tell them the dog needs training.

Grownups say the darndest things.

I then advised him to take his own advice.

You see, he had called me because his 6-year-old Great Dane had been growling at his wife of three years and finally bit her in the face. When I asked him what took him so long to seek help, he said the darndest thing: “He doesn’t do it all the time!”

(Wuzzles answers on page 16)

Another grownup, this one female, called to inquire about her dog, who has bitten several of her family members and friends. I warned her that she’s going to get sued eventually, and she, too, said the darndest thing: “Not if he only bites my family and friends!”

A woman who runs a rescue later called regarding someone who had returned a dog because it bit her. She wondered what went wrong. “Did the dog have a history of aggression,” I asked, to which that rescue worker replied: “Yes, but the woman said she’s good with dogs!”

(Mega Maze Solution on page 12)

I’ve never met a dog lover who didn’t think they were good with dogs. The man with the 6-year-old 125-pound Rotweiller that growls at his kids believes he has a special touch with the canine crowd. “I taught him to sit and come. And whenever he growls, I say, ‘Bad dog. No.’”

I think we all know the answer.

People with smaller problems are even less likely to cry uncle. It’s too late to become a veterinarian, so instead they imagine themselves dog trainers. These folks call to complain that their dog barks at the mailman or at the phone, or that he CASEY’S CORNER: Turn to page 10

Heart Failure Is Quite Treatable DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am 71 years old and have been diagnosed with chronic heart failure. In October of last year, I had triple bypass surger y, but now I’m in good health. Some things I have read about chronic heart failure are unner ving. Will you give me your take on what lies ahead for me? -- S.T.

in women in just the past decade. The increment in women’s life span is smaller because women live longer, on average, than men. Readers can order the booklet on congestive heart failure by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 103W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery. *** DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My EKG report, sent to me, says “left axis deviation.” Is that a big deal? -- M.Y. ANSWER: It means that that electric signal originating in the upper heart chamber and responsible for each heartbeat takes a different route to reach the lower heart chambers, the pumping chambers. In the absence of symptoms, it’s not a dangerous thing. You don’t have to dwell on it. I take it you have a doctor who ordered the EKG. That doctor will follow up to see if you have any hidden heart trouble. The condition is not an emergency situation. *** Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer indi-

CASEY’S CORNER (from page 9) chews the furniture or urinates on the carpet. They don’t want to pay for training. They just need “a quick tip.” For the truly diligent among them, a tip might do the trick. For most people, though, especially those whose dogs display aggressive tendencies, a quick tip isn’t going to cut it. As the director of the humane society said: These dogs need training. Even then, sometimes all the gold in Fort Knox can’t fund enough training to make an aggressive dog safe company for kids. The reason so many people put up with disruptive or even dangerous behavior from their dogs is that feeling of unconditional love that is largely absent from relationships between humans. Well-adjusted individuals set boundaries and have expectations. Successful, healthy relationships require compromise and negotiation. Or, as Ava, 8, put it when asked about love and marriage, “One of you should know how to write a check. Because, even if you have tons of love, there is still going to be a lot of bills.”

ANSWER: Heart failure, chronic heart failure and congestive heart failure are the same con When kids say the darndest things, it’s dition. It’s one of the most common reasons why hilarious.

This mark is on the bottom of a porcelain pedestal cake stand. It has been in our family for as long as I can remember. My mother told me it was a wedding gift to her great grandparents when they were married in 1900. It is decorated with tiny pink and yellow flowers, green leaves and trimmed in gold. The background is white and it is in mint condition. I plan to pass my cake stand to my daughter and hope you can tell me about the maker and value.

focus on direction. If you are going to play the putt aggressively than putt for an object that is a couple of feet behind the hole. (as seen in the photo) By putting for an object behind the hole you will be hitting the putt with more force so you will want to play less break. To provide more force be sure to keep the handle of the putter moving through to your finish. The faster moving ball will not take as much break than a ball that is traveling at exact speed. If you are putting on a side hill or down hill slope than the slower moving ball or what I call “exact speed” is a good play. Exact speed basically means that the ball will trickle into the hole on its last rotation. When putting for exact speed you will want to putt for an object short of the hole and than allow the slope to feed the ball into the hole. Next time you are on the putting green try this strategy for holing more short putts.

point you establish behind the hole, as illustrated in Aiming for a spot behind the hole for afor spot the photo. Because the isAiming a good strategy holingbehind short putts the hole is a good strategy ball is rolling faster in this for holing shorter putts. putt you will want to play less break. To provide more force in this stroke you want to keep the handle of the putter moving through to your ﬁnish. Try this strategy the next time you’re on the practice green and you’ll be playing less strokes!
